Chaos to Boredom

So I have had a really hectic semester. Like probably overall the most hectic of all semesters ever in the entire world. Anyway it just ended Wednesday and today is Friday. Since then I have been super bored because I came home early to get my hair chemically straightened and it needs 3 days to settle before washing. I guess it's been nice just doing little things that I want to do here and there. Like for example I laid out for an hour today got a little tan which is necessary since I am so pale. I also want to prevent extreme burning in Italy. Today I get to see Katie and Jill. That will be very fun! Tomorrow I am going pre Italy shopping with my mom and then Sunday is packing day and Andre el gigante is coming over to spend the night. So the rest of my weekend looks pretty exciting... but not college exciting but that's ok. I need to unpack my clothes so I can see them better for the actual packing. haha this post is pretty lame I feel like because I'm pretty much just describing my next few days. Whatever.

I really enjoy my hair straight and shorter. It's so easy to deal with. I can't wait to wash it myself and style it and see how fast it is. I'm nervous it won't be as fast as I think it will so I'll just except it to take pretty long.

I guess that's all for now.

sophomore year is coming to a close

So I have less than a week left of sophomore year and I couldn't be happier. Whoever created the saying sophomore slump knew what they were talking about. Sophomore year for some reason always sucks for me. Not even like this year as a whole was terrible, it was just hard and boring and nothing too exciting. I have a feeling junior year will be better for multiple reasons and I am going to list them now haha

1. we are going to cancun for our first meet

2. I am an upper classman... thank goodness

3. I'll be 21 within 2 months of junior year

4. I am starting off the summer going to Italy and spending time with good friends at home

5. I am FINALLY getting an actually surgery on my toe

Well that is really all I can think of for now, but just writing that makes this next year look better. Oh I forgot one... we most likely will not have 5:30 am wake ups which is a major plus.

Presently I am studying for human physiology... I have 2 finals monday, 1 tuesday and 1 wednesday then I am going home to get my hair straightened! I am going to look different and I couldn't be more excited.

What I really can't wait for is a break from gymnastics. I always feel guilty here when I miss a practice or leave early and it's annoying because I shouldn't feel pressured to workout when season just ended and finals are approaching but they coaches have a way of doing that to me. I know that they want us to be really good next season since we fucked up so badly at big tens and really badly at regionals but I don't think stressing us out in May is going to get it done! I need that mental break from the pressures of practicing before I jump back into the cycle again.

I think the main thing is is that I envy regular students who go out on the weekends and have a good time and meet a lot of people because they are not confined to their athlete circle. I know part of the way to meet new people is to branch out but it's hard when you spend the majority of your time with these girls and guys and are too tired to make an effort to meet others. Hopefully the bars will be helpful in that category.

Matt and I are doing very good. I am excited to go to Italy with him so we can just enjoy each others company outside of a school setting. I feel like taking so many classes together this year strained our relationship a little because he was having problems with the classes and I would do better than him and he would get annoyed at himself for not doing as well and I didn't know what to do to make him feel better. One positive out of that is that I am learning what he needs to stay positive and on task. But anyway, Italy should be fun. The hotels look really nice and I am excited to just explore Rome aside from the few tours we get.

Besides that not much else has been going on besides studying all the time.
