This is why God doesn't let people read each others minds...

So being one of 4 girls that work in the whole athletic department [the other 3 being coaches], our restroom barely gets any visitors. Being the little blessings that they are, our cleaning ladies clean the facilities every night.  I'm always the first to go in the mornings and I only know this because I turn on the lights.  Anyways...There is a great satisfaction of having to flip the toilet seat down to go.  It's just nice to know that for that one time, your butt is the only one that has touched that toilet seat today. 

Blessings.

...now judge me.

We've got more bounce in California than all y'all combined...

So our baseball team [DBU Patriots] made it to the NCAA Super Regionals.  Basically, we made DBU history.  The 2011 team is the first team that has ever made it to Supers and only the second team who has made it to Regionals! Here are a few pictures from my trip to Santa Clara, CA.

DBU was a big hit in the metroplex! Since we were having so much publicity, we thought it would be good to get an official background.  These are my boys [the guys that I work with] pretending to be important athletes. 

I got my chance to be famous for about 5 seconds....

This is the charter the team got to fly out to Cali on.  Being the only girl in the office, I got voted to fly back to cover the office.  Guess who got to ride on this baby.. me! I'm a blessed girl.

Since I was technically at work, I had to report to the field 3 hours before the game. [welcome to my life Spring semester] This is a little BP picture.  GO PATRIOTS!

Thankfully, some of my best girl friends were able to fly out and come join the Cali fun!  This is Cara and Ash.  We were definitely the loudest fans... We were told that everything we said could be heard on ESPN! If you ask me, we're basically famous. 

After the first game, instead of just going to dinner we took a mini roadtrip to San Fransisco!  How many times do you get to go to Cali for free?! Like one in a million years.  We took full advantage of our opportunities.  This is the Golden Gate [in the dark]

Since most of the crew didn't jump on our mini road trip caravan, we made a second trip after church.  San Fran is a whole different city in the daylight! This is one of the marinas.  If you look hard enough, you can kind of see a little of San Fran in the back.  It was chilly but beautiful!!

This the Alcatraz prison! It's famous for containing the most dangerous criminals in the US.  It's closed now but you can take tours of the inside.  We didn't have the time to tour so this is a quick pic from the pier.

Last but not least, this is Stu.  Unfortunately, Cal knocked us out of the College World Series but we still love our boys and are very proud of them!

Somewhere over the [lacquer] rainbow...

So I pretty much robbed the local Walgreens... I didn't mean to! "You're kidding me... you're not actually buying ALL of those" said the check out kid. Why yes I am! You're welcome! :)

The true OG's of DBU...

This is definitely one of my best friends.

These photos also explain our whole friendship.

finals

finals are absolutely ridiculous. there is absolutely no reason to test us on material we learned the first week.  who actually remembers the first week?  most students are concentrated on who looks the smartest to partner up with for lab or who they're going to flirt with. professors need to understand that, just like them 50 years ago, we do not care to pay attention until it's crunch time. if the class is art or anything liberal, they need to understand that nobody cares to pay attention at all...ever.  to most students, and i do mean MOST, class is the perfect time to catch up on social networks, blog, or my personal favorite: to practice my doodling skills. the real world is concerned about how you interact with people and how you network, not what some random date a piece of literature was written.  get real, college.  get. real.

anyways, i write this while i'm attempting to study for finals.  guess it's crunch time.

snow day.
