Things that are flying through my mind right now:
1. Where did Lady Gaga come from? I need to get her album.
2. I should be working on homework rather than blogging, but then again procrastination is my specialty.
3. I'm making enchiladas for dinner tonight despite the fact that most of us won't be even eating dinner together tonight. Chris did pay for the ingredients so that's a plus.
4. Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie, although Steve did say that he thought it was over-rated. He slept through half the movie though so I'm not exactly sure what he's basing his opinion on. I liked it though, it was a very eye-opening experience. Plus the music was awesome- I kept wiggling around in my seat to the beat, haha.
5. I'm feeling super motivated and introspective right now. (Hence the blogging) I wish it would happen more often.

What a boring week!
It was a long and uneventful weekend. I spent most of it at work, and on top of everything I caught a bug that has been going around. It was mainly all head congestion but it was inconvenient to wait tables feeling like that. I think I'm finally getting over it now, so yay!
Tonight Steve and I are going to go see Slumdog Millionaire, which has gotten rave reviews. Seeing as it won the Oscar for best picture last night, we're going to take advantage of my night off to go see it. We'll probably grab some dinner or something before hand, it's a rare occasion that the two of us go out and do something by ourselves and not all of our friends. It should be a nice time.
Graduation is slowly creeping up... times and locations for the ceremony have been set. My college's graduation is Friday, May 22, 2009 at 9 am at Cole Field House, which is where our men's basketball team used to play before they built the bigger and better stadium, Comcast, which is where the main commencement ceremony is happening for the entire university. I won't be going to that one because I am one of 7-8,000 seniors graduating this may and the ceremony would go on forever. Plus, that's the morning of Rachel's graduation at the national cathedral, which I would rather go to.
Hmm what else is going on... oh, I won a free happy hour at a bar in Baltimore called 'Howl at the Moon'. It's a dueling piano bar that I was at a couple weeks ago for my friend Lauren's 22nd birthday (we're all turning 22 this year, how scary???). I entered a drawing when I got there and turns out I won it! It's a pretty cool package, my 1st 2 drinks are free and then they're half off until 8pm. There's also a free appetizer buffet until 730 which has nachos and hot dogs and stuff. I can have up to 100 guests which is really cool so my parents are going to invite some of their friends and steve's bringing his friends and of course, I invited all of my friends. It should be a good time.
I think that's about it... I can't think of anything else exciting that happened in the last week. We're doing the countdown for spring break... 3 weeks from today! :)

It's been a busy couple of months! (What else is new??)
School is in full swing for the last time... Yikes! I can't believe that in May I'll have a bachelor's degree! I feel like I haven't learned enough to have a degree yet... haha-
I'm working my butt off at both Applebees and Mulligan's, so when I'm not there, I'm either doing homework or sleeping!
On Sunday Steve and I cooked dinner for both of our families, 10 people total- It went well I think, everyone got along well and seemed to have a good time. It was the first time both of our families have gotten together since Steve and I have been dating, so we figured it was time for them to get to know each other!
Oh, and it's only 1 month till vegas! I can't be more excited to get out of this cold windy state and go to warm and sunny las vegas in march. we'll be gone for a week- march 16-20, our spring break. There's 6 of us total going- Janet, Brian, Chris and his girlfriend Amanda and then Steve and I.
I think that's it for right now, I have to get some homework done before class at 4, so I better go!

hello 2009
Well well well, would you look at that! Its 2009 already! It feels so weird for it to finally be 2009 because I'm graduating COLLEGE in 2009. I just applied for graduation a few days ago. How old does that make me feel? Yikes! I feel like it was just yesterday I graduated high school! Which now, Rachel is doing this year which also makes me feel old.
The last couple of months have been busy ones... December was all about finals and of course, our carribbean vacation over christmas! It was beautiful (even when it rained) and warm, which of course I loved because I hate the cold. It was so relaxing not to have to think or worry about school or work and just be. And of course the beaches helped too. I would love to go back for the rest of the cold season here and just work down in the carribbean. My dad wants to become part of the bahamian navy so maybe I'll go down there with him and work at one of the bars. Wouldn't that be the life?
Steve and I spent new years at the golf course where they had a private shin-dig for all of the employees and their guests. It was the first new year's I have spent without the family. I bartended with a couple of my friends from work and it was an all-around good time. Steve and I also had our christmas on New Year's because I was in Puerto Rico on Christmas. I got him season 1 on dvd of one of his favorite tv shows, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, the complete Batman Animated Series (he loves batman) and a pair of drum sticks that I had engraved with his bands name. My christmas gift from him was kind of a combined christmas/late birthday gift. He gave me pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, and then hes going to replace the stock radio in my car with a nicer 6-cd changer that will be up front rather than in the trunk, which I am uber-excited about.
Other than work, school, family and steve, nothing else is really going on- as you see I lead a very exciting life.. haha.
Hope everyone's new years went well and they're enjoying the start of 2009 so far!

Thanksgiving
I can't believe its December already! This year has gone by so incredibly fast. My Thanksgiving break also went by quickly, even though I had 3 thanksgivings! The monday before thanksgiving, Janet Brian Chris Amanda and I had our own thanksgiving dinner in the apartment. Chris made ham, Brian made stuffing, Janet made mashed potatoes and green bean casserole and I made pumpkin pie and jello. It was nice to sit down and have an actual meal with everyone, we've all been so busy that we haven't had a lot of time to eat together and catch up.
I went home for break on Wednesday. I helped my mom clean and cool and ran some errands. On thanksgiving we had Brian, Sheila and the boys, Travis, who is my mom's cousin's son (my second cousin) and Steve. It was the first time we've had a lot of people come to dinner! There were 10 of us total I think. The food was spectacular as always and it was nice to catch up with everyone.
That night, Steve and I drove out to Deleware to spend Friday and Saturday with Steve's family. We drove out Thursday night at abotu 630-7ish and we got to the house we were staying at in Rehobeth beach at about 930/10ish. That night we just got settled and played some poker with Julia (steves sister) and her husband matt. The next morning we got up bright and early to go outlet shopping. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the outlets weren't all that crowded considering it was black friday. We hit some pretty good deals and we were all shopped out at about 1 oclock or so. We went back to the house to nap, and got up for dinner. Matt cooked yummy burgers for everyone and afterwards while steve's parents went to a play, the four of us watched a movie and then played poker for the rest of the night. The next morning, we all got up early again to have thanksgiving lunch with steve's grandparents. They live in this adorable little house which is really old. It felt like you were escaping from the real world. This was a big thanksgiving too, there were 13 people there. After lunch, we did a little more shopping and then Steve and I headed back on Saturday night at about 63oish, stopping at Sonic on the way back. Sonic is a delicious fast-food burger chain that advertises in maryland, but sadly there is not a single one in maryland. So steve and i took advantage of being in deleware and had quite the dinner that night.
While it was a busy weekend, it was still sad to have to go back to school and work on sunday. The good news is that there is only 2 more weeks of classes and 1 week of finals until the semester is over! Then, the day after my last final, the kirkwood clan is heading out for our cruise to the carribbean! We are all very excited for that :)
I hope all of your thanksgivings were fun and food-filled!!

Well it has certainly been a long time since I've posted on here. The past few months have been crazy busy between school and work and trying to have a social life somewhere in there! Here are some of the biggies that have happened:
- In August was my 21st birthday... I had a ton of fun getting to go out with my friends finally (I was the last to turn 21). I survived the night and the next day I went to an Orioles game with Steve, Janet & Brian, Steve's sister and fiancee at the time (now husband) Matt, and my friend Doug. It was lots of fun and definitely the best place to recover from the night before!
- I started a second job at Applebee's to help make up for the loss of hours at the Golf Course (it's being renovated and is closed until Mayish of next year, so as a result the restaurant is still open, but just with very limited hours). So far it's gone pretty well, it's pretty easy stuff and I can also bring my books and things to study if we're slow. I've been there for about a month or so.
- I have registered for my last semester of classes at Maryland! It was such an odd feeling knowing that come this may I'll be done with my undergraduate degree! So weird... then comes nursing school and who-knows-where, I'll figure that out later.
- Steve and I are still going strong... we're coming up on 7 months soon... I honestly don't think that either one of us thought that we'd make it this far... haha! A couple days ago was his sister's wedding which was fun, I got to meet a lot of family that already think I'm part of the family! This thanksgiving he will come to our house for dinner on thursday and then that night the two of us are going to head to Deleware to celebrate thanksgiving with his family.
- Janet and Brian are also still going strong, yesterday was their 3 year anniversary... I can't believe it's been 3 years!! I can definitely see a wedding in their future... :-D
That's about it, I have to head off to class but I'll leave you with some pictures!

Pic of the Beau
So it has been requested that I post a pictured of Steve...I dont have any pictures that are just the two of us, and this one was taken last spring, before we were dating. Ha, he looks pretty uncomfortable, but it's prob the best photo I have of him. Hm... I'll have to work on that...
The girls in the picture are (from left to right) Christina, Lauren, myself and Cara. I went to high school with Lauren and Cara. Christina i met through Lauren and Steve.
I'll post another picture when I get a better one!

Time for an update!
Hello there! I figured it was about time I updated, it's definitely been a while.
There's not really anything exciting going on, I'm enjoying summer vacation and not having to study or read textbooks. I've been trying to read as much as I can this summer, books that I'm actually interested. I just finished Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's a fantastic novel about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. Its part of a series, so I think today or tomorrow I'm going to go out and buy the rest of the series.
I'm also working a lot, which is nice, because i'm making more money than I was during the semester. I'm working between 40 and 50 hours almost every week, which is tiring, but at least i can make my own schedule so I can vary the types of shifts that I work every work which is nice. We also have new upper management which is great, we really like the new director. He's very nice (and very gay) and so far he's done a good job with the place.
Other than working and reading all I've really done is hang out with Steve, and my other friends. Steve and I double date weekly with a girlfriend of mine, Ashley and her boyfriend. Last week we did Sushi and it scrumptious! Last Friday Ashley and several other of my girlfriends drove up to Ephrata, Pennsylvania to go to a ginormous flea market. They had possibly everything you could possibly ask for, it was really hard to get out of there without spending all of your money!
I think that's about it- I'll update again soon! :)

It's summer time... finally!
Hello summer! With school finally behind me for the semester, I can start to relax... at least until work. I took my last final yesterday, which means that I am now, officially, a senior, and I only have 1 more year until I have to go out and live in the real world (yikes!). Because the lease on my apartment is a year long lease, I have it for the summer, which is nice because it is so close to work and I don't have to commute as much as I did last summer. Also, my apartment complex has its own pool which just happens to be right across the street, so you know where I'll be on sunny days!
This coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend, and on Sunday we're having our usual family dinner, although this time we'll have company- Steve is coming over, as well as Rachel's boyfriend, Ryan. Ryan wants to be a mechanic, so he and Steve will have plenty to talk about seeming as Steve is a mechanic and can tell him what its like. Then, on Monday, Steve and I are going to the Orioles game with Steve's sister and her fiancee. Afterwards, there are several BBQ's and birthday parties that I have pledged my attendance to, so I will be jumping around to several different ones! It will certainly be a busy day!
As for right now, I'll be working a lot this week and next week. Janet and I are also thinking about painting our living room and putting curtains up- we're just trying to decide what color to do. We want to do it soon because she has an internship in Annapolis starting up where she'll be gone Monday through Friday from 8 to 5.
That's about it, I'll blog later when something exciting happens. Have a great weekend!

It's been a while...
It certainly has been a long while since I last blogged! Things have been so busy with school and work (and a new boy...) that I've neglected my blogging duties!!
This week is the beginning of finals (I'm clearly procrastinating). I had one this morning, have one tomorrow morning, and have one next wednesday and then that's it! I'll be done for the semester and I'll officially be a senior! Scary huh?? I can't believe how fast the past three years have flown by!
As for work, upper management is changing, so theres been a lot going on to get ready for the switch. Apparently, our new head administrator is quite a bit stricter than our current one, so we're trying to whip the staff into shape before he gets here. Hopefully the new guy will come in and change things to make everything run a little bit smoother.
And as for the boy, I've been dating Steve for just about a month now. We actually went to high school together, so we've known each other for quite a while. We started hanging out again last fall or so and we decided to give this a shot, so we'll see how it goes! So far so good :)
Not much else has been going on, I've gone to a couple Orioles games and been to a few small concerts but that's about it!
I should probably get back to studying, even though ever since Janet bought Mariokart for the Wii, that's all I've wanted to do, which is terrible for the massive amounts of studying that I need to do for finals...

Where's the break in spring break?
It's been a busy week since I last updated-
Friday was the last day before spring break- I went and got my hair cut and dyed (nothing too drastic). It's a little longer than my shoulders and it's a nice dark chocolate brown- I haven't taken a picture since I got it cut so I can't show you guys what it looks like. I had my one class that afternoon and then met Mom and Dad for happy hour in Columbia.
Saturday was Shamrock Fest. We had the best weather anyone could have asked for in March. I wore a light jacket and flip flops to the music fest. I went with some friends of mine that go to UMBC, so it was nice to see them again. We had a lot of fun!
Sunday was a huge function at work. It was for NACUFS (National Association of Collegiate and University Food Services). It was quite the event! We had the entire event room decked out and we even put an ice cream parlor in our restaurant! There were about 180 people there, all of which are "big-wigs" in dining services. It was a long day, I ended up working 13 hours total for the day. All was well though, later on we got a letter saying that our event was the best they had been to ever, and they've been to some pretty fancy shin-digs!
Monday was St. Patrick's Day- I was scheduled to bartend all day but I failed to remember that little fact when I scheduled my interview for an unpaid internship for that afternoon. I managed to have a friend of mine watch the bar while I went to my interview, which was for a nurse's assistant job at a local hospital, Montgomery General Hospital. I ended up landing the position, and you're looking at (or rather reading the words of) the newest nurse's assistant on the oncology and ER floors. It will definitely be tough work but I'm really excited to get started and get into the nitty gritty!
Tuesday I had the day off from work, so I went home and helped my mom clean out my room and figure out what to do with half the junk that's still in my room at home. We ended up cleaning it out pretty well- we threw away about 3 bags of junk and gave away 4 bags to Purple Heart. All in all it was a pretty productive day!
Wednesday I worked all day and then went with my parents to meet two of my mom's cousins in town from Wyoming. We met at this nice little grill in Union Station in DC. We also met their son, who is 23 and lives in DC and practically the perfect male specimen! Too bad he's my second cousin...
And today, was a long day as well- I was in at work at 715 am, and didn't leave until about 5 or so, which makes a nice 9 hour work day. I'm heading into overtime for this week- I've got about 35 hours or so already for the week, so on Saturday hopefully I'll move into time and a half!
Today also begins the wonderful season knows as March Madness- my brackets are ready and I'm good to go! So far for the day I'm 8 for 8, 100% :)
That's it for right now! Tomorrow will be the first day of relaxation, the Kirkwood girls are heading to the Spa courtesy of Grandma Kirkwood! We're all very excited for some much needed R&R.
I'll update again soon!

It's a little longer than my shoulders and it's a nice dark chocolate brown- I haven't taken a picture since I got it cut so I can't show you guys what it looks like. I had my one class that afternoon and then met Mom and Dad for happy hour in Columbia.
Saturday was Shamrock Fest. We had the best weather anyone could have asked for in March. I wore a light jacket and flip flops to the music fest. I went with some friends of mine that go to UMBC, so it was nice to see them again. We had a lot of fun!
Sunday was a huge function at work. It was for NACUFS (National Association of Collegiate and University Food Services). It was quite the event! We had the entire event room decked out and we even put an ice cream parlor in our restaurant! There were about 180 people there, all of which are "big-wigs" in dining services. It was a long day, I ended up working 13 hours total for the day. All was well though, later on we got a letter saying that our event was the best they had been to ever, and they've been to some pretty fancy shin-digs!
Monday was St. Patrick's Day- I was scheduled to bartend all day but I failed to remember that little fact when I scheduled my interview for an unpaid internship for that afternoon. I managed to have a friend of mine watch the bar while I went to my interview, which was for a nurse's assistant job at a local hospital, Montgomery General Hospital. I ended up landing the position, and you're looking at (or rather reading the words of) the newest nurse's assistant on the oncology and ER floors. It will definitely be tough work but I'm really excited to get started and get into the nitty gritty!
Tuesday I had the day off from work, so I went home and helped my mom clean out my room and figure out what to do with half the junk that's still in my room at home. We ended up cleaning it out pretty well- we threw away about 3 bags of junk and gave away 4 bags to Purple Heart. All in all it was a pretty productive day!
Wednesday I worked all day and then went with my parents to meet two of my mom's cousins in town from Wyoming. We met at this nice little grill in Union Station in DC. We also met their son, who is 23 and lives in DC and practically the perfect male specimen! Too bad he's my second cousin...
And today, was a long day as well- I was in at work at 715 am, and didn't leave until about 5 or so, which makes a nice 9 hour work day. I'm heading into overtime for this week- I've got about 35 hours or so already for the week, so on Saturday hopefully I'll move into time and a half!
Today also begins the wonderful season knows as March Madness- my brackets are ready and I'm good to go! So far for the day I'm 8 for 8, 100% :)
That's it for right now! Tomorrow will be the first day of relaxation, the Kirkwood girls are heading to the Spa courtesy of Grandma Kirkwood! We're all very excited for some much needed R&R.
I'll update again soon!

T-minus 1 class until spring break
Spring Break is so close I can feel it! It also helps that it's 58 degrees and sunny outside right now. I have one class tomorrow afternoon until Spring Break officially starts. Unfortunately I won't get a whole lot of time to relax, I have only 1 day off from work next week, and my professor just assigned us a project to do that is due the day we back. Arg! I guess its a good thing I'm not going anywhere during break, right?
There really isn't anything else going on right now. Saturday Janet, Brian and I are going to DC for Shamrock Fest. If you recall from last year, it's a huge irish festival with a ton of bands and games and stuff. I had a lot of fun last year so hopefully this year will be as good too.
This past week has been pretty boring, only work and school really. I'll update when things get more interesting!

Blogging, 21st birthdays, and spring break?
A friend of mine has just recently started blogging and it's giving me a newfound motivation to blog more frequently. His blog though is much different in that his blog is about his random thoughts that he gets during the day (and of course he's a much better writer than I am) such as "Where do birds go when they die?" and my personal favorite "Can a person without a right arm obtain a driver's license?". Needless to say they're pretty funny, and I'll pass along any of his blogs that I think you guys would be interested in. He's only blogged couple times during the week, but that's way more than I blog and he's just as busy as I am so there should be no reason why I don't blog as frequently as he does. So here goes my update for the day:
This past week was filled of studying and celebrating birthdays. Four of my friends turned 21 last week which made a very expensive week and not to mention hard to study. I've posted a picture of one of the dinners I went to; it was my friend Vicki's birthday (she's the one with her feet on the table) so we went out to PF Chang's in Columbia for some yummy Chinese food.
I also had 2 exams last week, both of which I think went very well and I'm very satisfied with how I did, so that's good :)
My spring break plans have changed as well- it turns out that some of the girls that I was going with (also seen in the photo above) have been arguing about their rent for next year and so they've decided not to go to North Carolina anymore, which would leave Katie and her friends from high school that I've never met and then me. So I decided that I would just stay in College Park over spring break and work, relax and possibly paint my bedroom a different color.
My roommate, her boyfriend Brian and I went to the movies earlier tonight and saw "Jumper"- it was a pretty cool movie, but the acting was pretty bad; the special effects kind of made up for it though.
Other than that there's nothing much going on- next week should be a pretty easy week, no exams and not a whole of work involved so I might get to start spring break a little early :)

Only 3 weeks until Spring Break....
Oh, only 21 days until Spring Break- where I will be with my favorite girlfriends on the beach in the warm North Carolina sunshine... it could not come soon enough! School is getting more hectic, with exam week coming up, and the spring semester always seems to fly by.
This weekend was a much needed break- I worked early on Saturday morning, was off by 3 and spent the night in Columbia with Janet and Brian roaming around from house to house to Chipotle then eventually to my house to show them Abbey- they, of course, fell in love with the adorable bundle of fur as we all have.
I had Sunday off so I went home and the fam and I went up to Baltimore to see the BodyWorlds exhibit- where they display actual human bodies that have been "plasticized" to show muscle, bones, tendons and all that good stuff. Dad and I were very stoked to go- Mom and Rache needed a little more convincing though. I think we all enjoyed it- I wish I could have spent the day in there just reading everything and looking at all of the models! It was amazing to see how far technology has become to be able to get to see these bodies. Below are a couple of examples from the exhibit- sadly, photography was prohibited so I got these from the web. The first picture is my favorite- the body is holding his own skin!
Today was spent working out, going to class and then I spent about an hour or so filling out volunteer applications for a variety of different hospitals in the area. Tonight will consist of reading for class and then spending some time with the roomie and her boyfriend.
I think that's it! I'll update soon!

Yes, I am still alive!
Hello Hello! I began to feel guilty about not blogging very often, so I'm going to try and do it more often (I'm even making blogspot my homepage so I'll almost be forced to update more often).
Here's what's been going on in my busy life:
Work and School.
That pretty much sums it up, however boring it may be. School started in late January and it's starting to get down to the nitty gritty already, with my first exam on Wednesday (yikes!). This semester, I get the pleasure of taking Biology, Biomechanics, Genetics in Physical Activity, Graded Exercise Testing and Weight Lifting. It will certainly be a semester full of studying! Speaking of school, my plans for after graduation have taken a change, instead of applying to physcial therapy school in the fall, I will most likely be applying to the U of San Fran for Nursing. It was an option brought up by my Dad that makes a lot of sense- I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier! So get ready all you west coast kirkwoods and brotzels... i'm heading back west!
As for work, it's well...work. It certainly has lost its luster after two and a half years- but the pay is good so it's worth sticking to for my last year here. Wow that's scary! After this semester I will only have 2 semesters left until graduation! Yikes! Scary thoughts....
Janet, Brian and Chris are all doing well- we've pretty much gotten addicted to Guitar Hero- I still can't seem to beat Brian- he's moved onto the expert level now... but now that we have it at home, I can go home and practice and also get my Abbey fix at the same time!
Abbey is doing well- she's still very much a puppy- even though she might not look like it! Her favorite activity at the moment is finding Rachel's shoes (and rachel's shoes alone) and chewing them. Here are two recent pictures of her (about a month ago?) believe it or not, she's actually grown since then! She weighs 41 lbs now, which makes her bigger than Shelby ever was. Ok well for some reason it won't let me put the pictures up, but I'll try again next time-
Ok well I think that covers pretty much everything right now- look for another post soon!

Look at me, I 'm updating!
Well What do you know? It's only been 8 days since my last post! I'm improving!
So this past weekend was Rachel's birthday. We went to New York on friday morning. We spent Friday (in the rain mostly) going to the American Museum of Natural History. That was pretty cool, it was neat to see where "Night at the Museum" was filmed. It would be even better if I could go back several times and spend each visit on on exhibit- there was soo much stuff in there that would be really cool to just thoroughly read through. After that we walked around and back to our hotel room for a quick break and then ventured out back on the city to navigate the million umbrellas on Times Square. We were searching for a place to eat and it was raining and cold and a ton of people so we just settled on Applebee's. After that, we just head back to the hotel and called i t a night. On Saturday, we went shopping at Bloomingdale's and then we found a cute little market-like thing on the way back from Bloomingdale's and Rachel and I both bought 2 very cute knock-off purses and some earrings. Mom also bought Rache a cute hat and me a very soft scarf. After that we ended up seeing two shows that day: Young Frankenstein and Curtains. Both were really good- David Hyde Pierce was in Curtains and he did an amazing job in it. And then on Sunday morning, we hit the road back to Columbia. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend.
Monday night we went out to dinner to celebrate Rachel's birthday. We went to this new place called On the Border. It's a mexican restaurant that's about to open, so were like their practice. Everything was free except for the booze. It was very yummy! After that we went home and Rachel opened her presents and then off she went to hang out with her friends.
That pretty much sums up my weekend. Last night in an effort of procrastination- I created a photo ablum to put some pictures up for you guys. Right now it's just some random ones from this semester, but hopefully I'll get some up of this summer too. Here's the URL(you can just click on the picture or on my screen name):

Yes, I'm still alive!
So I figured there are more productive uses of my time besides sitting on the couch watching season three of Grey's Anatomy. My one and only class today was canceled because the professor was sick, so I've been studying all day long. So I thought that it would be a great time to blog (since I haven't done it in forever!)
So things in College Park are, well, busy to put it in one word. Classes have picked up big-time and we're right in the middle of mid-term season which means lots of coffee and late nights. So far, everything's going well, 3 A's 2 B's and an almost B :) Hopefully I can maintain this academic energy for the rest of the semester. It's crazy that I'm already half way through the fall semester already, I'll have to start preparing for finals in just about a month! Yikes!
The weather here has been rather funky too. Today, on October 23 (10 months till my birthday!) it was almost 80 degrees outside, and right now, at almost 11 pm it's still 73. Crazy isn't it? We also haven't had rain in a while too- which has been nice because it hasn't been super muggy.
This weekend is my little Rachel's birthday... number 17 can you believe it? I feel like I just turned 17 myself. It's so weird to think about it. To celebrate the occasion, the Kirkwood clan is going to New York City for the weekend. It's been a while since we've been up there so it will be nice to go up again! Plus, I think we're staying in a hotel not where we usually stay, so it will be neat to see other parts of the city than what we're used to.
Hm... what else... Janet and I have been decorating our apartment for Halloween. We just hung up some pumpkin lights around our window in our living room (which keep falling down and scaring us half to death at night), we have a pumpkin that we're going to carve sometime next week, and we're out to look for some more goodies later!
This past weekend I went home on Friday night and spent the night and slept in my own bed. I love sleeping in my own bed :) On Saturday morning I cut and dyed my hair, it's darker and little bit shorter- with bangs! It's nice to have a change. I'll post a picture up later when I have one taken with my new hair- maybe this weekend in new york. Later that day was the football game- which we were leading until the last quarter and we lost by 1 point. It's always so frusterating because losing in the same stupid ways has become habit now. But basketball season is coming up, so hopefully there is some hope there.
So I think that's it! I just wanted to stop in a let everyone know that I'm alive, ha! I'll post a bit later, hopefully sooner rather than later. Love you all!

Yikes, time flies fast!
Well hello there! I've finally found time to update in between classes today. It's been a very busy start to the semester. Classes started last wednesday, and between that and working, it's been crazy! Classes seem to be ok, it's goin g to be a lot of work, as usual. They're more interesting than last semester because I'm finally starting to get down to the more concentrated stuff and I'm past all the mandatory classes that have nothing to do with my major. This semester I'm taking : Drug Use and Abuse, Intro to health behaviors, Exercise Physiology, Motor Development, and Motor Control and Learning. In addition i'm taking 2 sports classes: bowling and badminton. On my first day of bowling i bowled the best game i've ever bowled, which means i have to improve off of that score by the end of the class!
The apartment is doing well, it's been great to have my own bathroom and closet (which, by the way is bigger than the bathroom rache and I share at home). The four of us each cook dinner once a night- I made this yummy chicken parmigiana the first night I made dinner, and janet has made baked ziti and stuffed shells. Can you tell we're big on italian food?
On saturday i'm starting a clinic called the Children's Developmental Clinic. Basically, I'm going ot be helping children with physical disabilities improve their motor skills and get them to be more physically active. Which is great, because this is exactly what I want to do in the future! The first 2 weeks are training weeks and then the clinic continues for 9 weeks after that. Should be a great experience!
MD football played villanova last Saturday and beat them 31-13. Woohoo! In a week, we'll play West Virginia, who is a notably better team than we are, so hopefully we can hold our own against them. Lauren goes to WVU so we've both been talking smack to each other =]
Okee dokee, it's about time I head to class. I've got 2 more today and then I'm heading back to the apartment- Janet's making dinner tonight, and it's bound to be scrumptious! And then a night full of reading because I've worked the past 2 nights and haven't had a chance to catch up yet. Hope everyone is doing well, I'll update when I get the chance!!

Greetings from College Park!
Hello! So far I am upholding my promise of updating more often (which, given how often I updated before, shouldn't be too hard). Janet and I just moved in to our new apartment yesterday... it went very smoothly. The apartment is larger and smaller than I thought it would be. Our kitchen, bathrooms and closets are all bigger than we had thought, and our living area is smaller. But everything looks great! Janet and I each have our own bathroom and walk-in closet (which is HUGE). I will have pictures up later when we get our decorations up and such. My room is right by the door, so my window has reinforced glass so no one can break though easily. woo! That's always good to have. Janet is living in Columbia for the next 2 days because she has to finish her last week and work, so I have the place to myself for the next couple of days. She'll move in for real on Friday night.
Speaking of Friday night, that's the night that Rachel, Karina and I are going to the OAR concert and Merriweather Post Pavillion. We saw the band perform last year, and they were pretty awesome, so we're going to go see them again this year. Just about everyone that I work with is going as well, so there is going to be some great company.
Karina and I got back last week from a week-long nannying trip in upstate New York. We went with a family that we've babysat before on vacation with 4 other families. They all met in Med School and have been going to the same place on vacation for 10 years now. There was a total of 10 kids, most of which were under that age of 4. Needless to say, it was tough work. But it was also a lot of fun, the kids were so cute! Plus, it paid for books this semester!
The Thursday night that we got back from NY, Karina and I met up with some friends and went to the DC United soccer game vs. LA Galaxy, Beckham's new team. Beckham made his Major League Soccer Debut in the game, playing 20 minutes! He even took off his shirt... twice ;) Yum! Oh yea, and DC United won, 1-0!
I think that's about it for right now...I've got to get ready to go to work. Later!

Beckham made his Major League Soccer Debut in the game, playing 20 minutes! He even took off his shirt... twice ;) Yum! Oh yea, and DC United won, 1-0!
I think that's about it for right now...I've got to get ready to go to work. Later!
