the happenings

so i haven't had much time to write lately...i've been a busy bee! i'll catch you up on a few little things going on in my life.

• moved into my new apartment! absolutely love it. it's spacious. the furniture is nice. we have finally finished the decorating. and the roommates are awesome :)
• my new roommates and i spent the sunday after we moved in at the beach. it was a roommate bonding trip and it was sooo much fun! i think this is gonna be a great year...and work out a lot better than last years roommates, for sure! here's the picture we took at the beach...then we blew it up and hung it up in our living room. olivia made it look all cool!!
  
• my new goal for this year is to attempt to keep my room somewhat tidy. since the kitties have free roam of the apartment this year (Kobie didn't last year. she was always locked in my room while i was away), I keep my bedroom door opened, or at least cracked so they can wander in my room and nap.....meaning everyone sees my room. soooooo i'm gonna try to keep it clean. let's see how long this lasts! lol
• started classes. i can't believe it, but i'm already a junior! classes are going well and i've been enjoying them. I'm not use to the long days, but the classes are soo worth it. For the first time, I actually don't mind going to class.
• I got my cartilage pierced. I know, not such a big deal to everyone else...but it was exciting to me lol of course mom hates it. my 10 year old sister, on the other hand, now wants one. she thinks i'm cooler than ever now :) hehe
• first day as an intern. September 1st was our first days in the schools. i have mixed emotions. I'm looking forward to it and am very excited to work with the students but at the same time, we are there from 8:30 to 11:30 but our students are in specials for most of the morning. i'm hoping i'll get the opportunity to observe other teachers while my kids are in specials. it will be a learning tool for sure!
• first football game of the season! was last night...we lost. but hey, it was a lot of fun. we played USC and we lost big time to them last year. at least we didn't have as big of a beating this year. we only lost 7-3. but i just love the spirit and the atmosphere. and it was perfect weather for a football game. not too hot, with a nice breeze! bring on the rest of football season!!
• Kobie and Piper are loving each other. They are getting along so well now. They tackle each other and roll around the living room floor for everyone to watch. Then when they get tired, they fall asleep together somewhere. I think Kobie has adopted Piper as her little child because every time they wake up from a nap, Kobie will go over to Piper and give her a little bath by giving her licks and kisses. It's sooo cute!!
• Oh and just one more kitty thing - Piper has discovered how to open my drawers so she pulls them open, digs in my clothes, takes a little nap, then leaves....while leaving my clothes scattered across the floor. For once, my messy room isn't all my fault ;)

I think that's it for now. Happy September!!
