Greetings from the under all of the snow! It's been quite an experience that past couple days, digging ourselves out from the snow just to be buried by it again. We got about 3 feet of snow this weekend, finally got our street plowed yesterday and then today we got another foot and still counting. I've never seen this much snow!!
In other news, classes started last week, but due to the massive snow falls, all of the classes this week have been canceled. It's not like I could get there even if I wanted to!
In the last couple of weeks, I've also broke up with Steve. It got to a point where we were just going through the motions and it took me a while to realize that the feelings I once had for him had slowly disappeared. It was for the best. So now I'm single and looking!
Medieval Times has cancelled all of their shows the last weekend, and the chances of them being cancelled this weekend are good, thus I will be very bored the next couple of days! I just can't wait until all of the snow is gone! Maybe I'll just hibernate until May...

Goal for the rest of the year
Well today has been pretty blah... I went to my women's health class this morning and since then I've done pretty much nothing productive. I fiddled around on facebook for a while and did some homework for my medical terminology class. I also caught up on some of the shows on the dvr that I haven't watched yet.
Tonight I'll be going to the gym with steve. I've made it my goal for the rest of the year and for the cruise that I'm going to get into better shape and get healthier. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds and hopefully have better eating habits as well. After all, I do plan on looking good in a bathing suit in the carribbean this december! This is also mainly to refine my healthy eating and exercise habits. I've found that the older I get the more stuck in my ways and habits so I figured now would be a great time to develop better more healthy habits.
After the gym is football time! I'm on a fantasy football league with my friends and I'm only 8 points away from winning this week's matchup- So if you're watching, we want Joseph Addai to have an amazing game! At least 80 yards or 1 touchdown and 20 yards :)

Still a college student and still broke
So let's see here...
- I'm going to school full-time right now taking some random medical and health courses. Hopefully they will be helpful for when I start the nursing program next fall. I'm taking Women's Health, Health and the Disease Process, Intermediate French and Medical Terminology. So far, everything's good. I had my first two exams today and I kicked some major exam bootayy.
- I'm still working at Medieval Times, however this is apparently the slow season so we're down to about only three shows a week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I've been trying to find a second job for Mon-Thurs but so far no luck because I have to work around my school schedule.
- Steve and I are still doing well, he's started taking classes again at HCC as well and he seems to really like it. He to is trying to work his job out so he can take classes full time next semester. He hopes to get into the Culinary program, which I think is a great fit because he is a wonderful cook.
-I think that's about it! I spent today studying for my medical terminology test that I have tomorrow while watching grey's anatomy. Steve has class tonight so it looks like a pretty low-key evening.
Tata for now! :)

First of all: I am alive.
Now that we got that out of the way, I guess it's time for an update!
I have been enjoying the summer thus far, even with the crazy weather and everything. One minute it's a tornado and the next it's 75 and sunny without a cloud in the sky. You gotta love the Maryland weather system. I have finished my summer classes successfully, and am working right around 35-40 hours a week. Since my last post, I've quit Applebee's (affectionately referred to as 'Crapplebees') and I've started bartending at Medieval Times. It's a really fun job at a dinner and tournament place where I get to dress up as a bar wench everytime I go in for work. I've been there for about 2 months or so and so far, so good. I make 7.25/hour plus tips, which depending on the night can go either way. We open the bar about an hour and a half before every show and then during the show, we go into cocktail mode and go through the arena and take drink orders. It's taken some time to get used to working in the dark! Here's the website for the company if you want to check them out: www.medievaltimes.com . It's a really good company to work for, it has a lot of benefits for it's employees, full-time or part-time. Tuition reimbursement, gym membership reimbursement, picnics, parties, balls, and sorts of fun stuff.
Besides that, my girlfriends and I are planning a trip to the beach for my birthday. We will be leaving on Thursday August 20 and will be returning August 23.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
So this is my last full week of classes at Maryland. I can't believe that I will be a college graduate in.... 16 days! yikes!
So this month is going to be crazy busy. I start classes at Towson University towards my nursing degree on the 26th of May, just 4 days after graduation. No rest for the weary!
I'm also moving out of my apartment in College Park back home to Columbia. The commute is way to outrageous from College Park to Towson, and this way I'll be able to save some money while I'm living at home. I should be almost fully moved home by the time everyone gets here later in May, at least all the large stuff will be taken care of.
My last day at Mulligan's is the 2oth. Its the end of an era! I've been there for 3.5 years, I don't know college without Mulligan's. It will be a weird experience not to work there any more.
That's about it, just a quick update. Hopefully I'll get around to updating again soon. Hope all is well with everyone.

time flies when you're in vegas
Vegas was a blast. It was so nice to get out of town with friends for a week and not have to worry about school or work or anything like that.
We flew out of Baltimore on Monday morning at the crack of dawn. Our flight was delayed because of mechanical issues (they stopped the plane and turned around during take-off) but after a few hours stuck on the plane they figured out what was wrong and it was fixed. Our plane stopped in Salt Lake City but traveled straight through to Las Vegas so there wasn't a connection that we had to worry about making, so that was good. We got to vegas around 2ish and checked in to our hotel which was in the middle of the strip, such a perfect location. Our first night we had dinner at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and as a margarita-lover I was overwhelmed with the vast array of margarita choices they have. I settled on a pomegranate margarita which was sweet and very yummy. After dinner we did some walking and we decided to take a nap, but unfortunately the nap turned out to last the entire night. We were up at 5 am the next morning!
The next day was St. Patty's Day. After getting McDonalds for breakfast (they don't have steak egg and cheese bagels there, it was weird), we continued our tour through the casinos. Steve stopped in the Maserati/Ferrari dealership in the Wynn and got his picture taken in a brand new Ferrari. He loved it, I told him I wanted one for my birthday :) We went down to the MGM grand, the NY NY, and the Monte Carlo, dropping a few bucks in the slot machines as we went. At MGM grand, I put a dollar in a penny machine and won 50 bucks! We then went down to O'Shea's which is an irish casino/bar that was having a big block party to celebrate St. Patricks Day. We were here for pretty much the rest of the day.
Wednesday we were able to sleep in a little bit more. We went to a buffet at Ceasar's Palace for lunch. We had received a 20 dollar voucher when we signed up for a rewards card that worked for a number of casinos. Luckily, the buffet was 19.95, so it was essentially free! We then went to the Venetian where Chris and amanda did the gondola ride while the rest of us walked around and did some gambling. That night Steve, Amanda Janet and I went out to a club at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was a fancy dancy club that had 8 million lines to get into but somehow Janet managed that we could get in quickly. The club was alright, it was super loud with techno music (SO not my favorite) and drinks were easily 10-15 bucks a pop. We didn't stay very long, and we met up with the rest of the guys afterwards.
Thursday we all checked out of the hotel and took our bags to Janets sister's place, in north vegas. She offered her place to us that night so we could save some money. After doing the bag drop we went and saw the Bodies exhibit at the Luxor. It was my 2nd time through it, but I was no less amazed by the whole thing. I could easily spend 5 hours in there just reading. After that we went over to Mandalay Bay and went through the Shark Reef which was really cool. There were huge sea turtles, several types of sharks, fish, jelly fish, all sorts of aquarium creatures. That night we all ate at this burger place at Mandalay Bay and we all went to Jeanne's for the night.
On Friday, we stayed around north vegas and went to our last casino, in which we all walked away with at least 10 bucks. Overall, Steve and I broke pretty much even, which was great. We went to the airport, had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and flew out around 10 pm. We got back into Baltimore around 8 am Saturday morning.
Since then I've gone back to work and done homework. Back to the boring life!! More pictures to come!

Any takers?
Anybody feel like writing a 30 page research paper on diabetes and physical activity? nobody? darn. I guess I'll just have to write it then.
One more quiz and paper until my spring break starts. The weather in vegas next week is supposed to be upper 70's and lower 80's the entire week we're there. I can't wait, especially since it's gone back to being cold here again.
I've started to the registration process at Towson. I'm trying to figure out what classes I need and all that jazz...
Other than that, that's it. It's been a boring week. Update later from vegas!
