So, I was debating on never updating this again, however I will... maybe this will be the last one (double meaning):

The last update was very brief and it mentioned being discrete. Well, a few days before that, Lindsay and I started dating. However, as most of you know the story, Lindsay and I had to keep everything on the down low for summer session. However, now we are able to express ourselves without having to be discrete.

Most of you could tell, but I love Lindsay so much and not to be "silly" but she's different than all the other girls that I've dated before. She's, well, for me. When you see us together, you kind of just know how we feel about each other. You can see it in our eyes and when I gaze into hers, I feel nothing like I have before and it's amazing.

We've been together for 3+ months now... We get along so well. We're actually rather similar. The night we got together, we talked for 7 hours and it was light out by the time we finished. Considering I was a RA in her building, I didn't know if I could pursue her. However, I knew she was special and I knew for certain I had to go after her; especially once we started talking about our grandparents (specifically Moo-Moo and her grandpa and grandma).

I can't really explain everything; somethings happen and you just kinda just understand them and just know them.

I love her; she loves me. That's all I want and need.

Summer classes have been a pain. Being a RA is kinda fun. Having to be discrete sucks horribly!

Home tomorrow for a doctors appointment... hopefully he decides that I should have surgery on my knee.

Finals sucked... Classes went ok I guess... I mean a couple issues but 7 classes and 19 credits should warrant a few issues. Took my ME 300 Final on Friday and went to DC with Rob. Spent the weekend at his house and then came back up here Monday. Ever since has been constant busy! However it's been fun busy. Cafe 210, Hiked Mount Nittany, watched my Flyers lose again, Pickles, Tony's Big Easy, Helped take Senior Pics at the Lion Shrine/JoePa statue/Penn State sign by Beaver Stadium, and Mount Nittany Winery. Tonight I'm leaving the Accounting majors and heading to Gman with a friend that I've had from Mont Alto and then ?? Tomorrow I'll be seeing Zach, Lauren, and the family. Coming back up here Friday. Not sure where, but I'm sure I'll be somewhere... same with Saturday. Sunday will be sad, the accounting kids are graduating, so I'll be here. Rob leaves Monday... but I start classes Monday, so I may or may not see him leave... bummer. I'll see him though... Even though sometimes we aren't cool, most the times we are and he's about as good of a roomie/friend you can get.

The past few weeks have been interesting. I feel too that I've been shunning some people by careless words or by just letting my courses on my mind get to me. Tomorrow I have a 10-12 minute presentation acting as a McDonald's job recruiter (had to pick a company to be acting as and my first choice was a private company, so I changed to a company I'm a stockholder with). I'm stressed about finishing this PowerPoint for it but not really worried about doing well on the overall presentation, since I expect to do well on it either way and I am doing really well in this class.

I have 2 homework assignments due on Friday morning, a take home final due on Tuesday, and a German paper thing due Friday too. I also have a final on Wed, Thurs, and Fri of next week (MATH231, EMCH213, and ME300). Then I have a week free, which will be spent in State College with Rob. I will be home Thursday the 15th in the evening, that's all. I have to come home for an appointment and then head back to school; COMM150/Summer 1 start May 19th. I am still looking for a job for the summer, but we'll see. I will be home for Beks graduation May 29th and then the next day I'm on the road to Pittsburgh with AMANDA AND SARAH for DMB!!! I also start MATH251 sometime mid-June, after the Big33 fun (which I'll be home on the weekends for). Then Summer 1 and Summer 2 starts with Beks and Casey and others here!! My apartment lease ends the 13th of August and I get done with Summer 2 August 15th. I will be a RA next year, in Brumbaugh Hall, in East Halls. I move into Brumbaugh August 16th and have week or so of training and then classes start for the Fall.

I'm sorry friends, it just looks like I won't be seeing much of you maybe you can come visit Penn State this summer and stay at my apartment with me during you visit?

I think I might be too honest and open with my thoughts... maybe I should learn to speak the way I write here on xanga... only partial stories and fairly non-emotional entries are put on here... the other thoughts are expressed through aim, phone, and in person. Life is so exciting, fun, and challenging. I wish my luck would be like it was the 1st few weeks of the fall semester; everything went exactly the way I wanted it to. It's not that it's bad right now, but it's just not the way I've envisioned some things, so I guess that's bugging me a little bit.

There's the current FALL 2008 classes.... I might be adding 1 or 2 classes (I was supposed to have CE 370 in there, but CE has restrictions on it and my advisor is pissed off at CE!

Other news... Obama Rally was great! He's my #2 favorite Presidential Candidate still campaigning. My list:
1. Ron Paul (R) 2. Barack Obama (D) 3. Hillary Clinton (D) 4. John McCain (R). Like woah! You shocked? This coming from a Republican? Yeah, well politicians are pretty neutral and not strong right/left, so deal with it. Actually, that statement about me being Republican is actually wrong at the moment... I re-registered in State College (so now State College is my voting precinct). I also put down Democrat, so I can vote for Obama on April 22nd (like some of my Republican family did). Ron Paul will be here April 11th, I hope to attend (it's in a lecture hall, 100 Thomas, so I might get in, I might not). My biggest beef with any of the politicians, but McCain, is the views dealing with Iraq. I personally believe it's tough for us to leave right now, since we've accomplished some, but not much... Though Obama brought up a great point in regards to how much money is spent on the War and it's huge....Though, that's not honest either; some of those "Iraq" costs are towards paying for the soldiers that are over there, which is true, but some of them would be getting paid less, but still getting paid if the war wasn't going on.

Political rant OVER, for today.

I can't wait for my 1 week of summer vacation. School is weighing me down... It's not horrible, just a constant pressure added to my un-muscular body.

----Course----	Section	Credits	Start/End Date	--Days--	Begin	End	Course-Location
E MCH 212	201	3.0	07/02-08/13	MTWRF	02:20P	03:35P	114 EES BL
MATH 251	001	4.0	06/16-08/13	MTWRF	12:45P	02:00P	113 THOMAS
COMM 150	101	3.0	05/19-06/27	M W	09:35A	12:25P	113 CARNEGIE
				T R	09:35A	10:50A	113 CARNEGIE

There's my summer schedule, in case anyone wants to see. Not too bad... 10.0 credits knocked out of the way, sweet! COMM 150 is a movie class, so I expect an "A" in that class. E MCH 212 and MATH 251 are going to be a pain, but I'll live. Finals are on 8/15 for those 2 classes and then I will hopefully be here 8/18 for RA training until the freshies (Beks class!!!!) arrive 8/22 and classes 8/25.

Now that I and you know my summer plans (except for job squeezed somewhere in there), I will end this entry and drag my but across the street to my RA class.

I'm getting very excited for a few things: 1. The end of hell, otherwise known as Spring 2008 courses. I love being at Penn State, just dang, classes are killer! I pretty much love my life outside of classes though. 2. Beks graduation from CCHS. 3. The next day... DMB trip with the 2 girls that I love dearly, Amanda and Sarah. 4. Blue and White Weekend in April. 5. If I decide to go, April 1st: 3 Days Grace, Breaking Ben, and Seether at the BJC. Just not sure if I want to rock out 2 nights before a big exam. 6. DMB concert in Hershey! 7. Summer Session II. That's when Beks and I go to the same school again (LCA for 3 years, CCHS for 1 year, and PSU!! (for about 2)! Maybe I should go to school for 7 years so Beks, Derek and I all are in college... My parents would love me, thus the basis of the appeal for this joke. 8. ........ <- has complete meaning that isn't being said.

Exam on Friday, I think, for ME 300. I'm doing awesome in my RA Class and ABE 391 class for sure... the other 5 are pains in my rear and not exactly sure what my wellness status in those classes are at the moment (awaiting some results and such).

It's dinner time and then on to homework time, peace out home skillets!

The Lady Lions lost their first game of the Big Ten Tourny to Michigan last Thursday, they're done now :( I was hoping for them to win 2 games and be playing Saturday, so I could go to the game using my friend's tix (who is a player on the team). Anyways they lost. Such a great team, just didn't know how to win. Penn State Men's Basketball plays tomorrow in the Big Ten's... Maybe they can win it all?!

So instead of going to Indianapolis for the Women's Tourney, I stayed at school til Saturday and then went to Haden's house. We went to the local Tavern with his dad and bro and watched UNC beat up on Duke. Then I stayed the night, went to Zach's house for a while, and went to Beks' freezing soccer game (indoors). Monday, Tuesday, and today were pretty much relaxation days that were much needed so I don't get sick like I do.

Thursday til Saturday is going to be spent chillin with Sarah!!! at St. Francis! That shall be fun! I love hanging with Sarah! I truely miss her and miss her being only 5 minutes away from me (she's only 50 minutes now, but we don't always have transportation) and having her be able to be there at any hour of the night for me, if I feel down.

Saturday night and Sunday are up in the air, but I'll probably get ready to get back into the grind of school, which will be consuming my life the next forever! Geez... I haven't been miserable, but it wears ya down after a bit; thus why I spend Spring Break hibernating.

So after 2 months of negligence to my xanga, I decided to show face again... I really am glad I haven't been on here much, I hate the new xanga look, it's such like every other site now.

Last weekend was THON, it was amazing. $6.6 million = incredibly amazing.
School's half way thru the semester; spring is soon here!
Penn State Lady Lions basketball is having a rough stretch, but we still love them!
Some classes are fun, some are really miserably horrible!
I do a lot of homework and never have time for much else; except the weekends, sometimes.
PITT trip was fun before school started.
St. Patty's 2008 was better than St. Patty's 2007.
I hate the utter expensiveness of paying for groceries and bills; something I will continue to hate for the rest of my life.
