Since I bought a new computer and iPod before school started, I have had to keep myself on a very tight budget. My budget restricts me from going to dirt cheap, and I was doing so well. That is until this past week. there is something about going to dirt cheap that chills me out. So needless to say, I went to dirt cheap this week, not once, but twice. I got some good stuff though, including Windell's Halloween costume- Optimus Prime (transformer). 

This week has been the most stressful week thus far of the semester. I know it is just going to keep getting more and more stressful, but this week was a doozy. We had a test everyday, along with lesson plan units due everyday. My schedule this week has looked like this.. wake up at 5:30, go to school and print off powerpoints for the day and do last minute cramming, go to class, change classes, go to the library from 12- 6, come home and cook dinner, finish and upload assignments to taskstream, study until 12 or later, sleep for the little bit of the day that is left, wake up and do it all over again. The first few weeks, I survived by taking naps, but as you can see from my daily schedule- there has been no time for naps.... That is, until today... After class, my partner and I finished our unit that is due Monday and I came straight home around 1 and slept until 5. It was much needed! 

So MSU didn't exactly gets their butts kicked by Auburn last week.. but I would not exactly say they did good. The game score was 3-2 and Auburn won... Technically, State did not score any points, but you have to know a little about football to understand how we ended the game with 2 points. State's offense STINKS! Auburn was just handing them the ball on a silver platter and they could not do a thing with it. They would not have got 2 points if it wasn't for defense. Needless to say, I do not have too much hope for State this year unless they play someone with a really bad defense and an offense that State's defense can handle....

On the other hand, LSU kicked some tail! They killed N. Texas, as expected. This week they play Auburn, first their first SEC game of the year. Hopefully we will kick their tails, as well! 

Well, I have the apartment to myself this weekend, so hopefully I will catch up on sleep and cleaning!! Hopefully, I can find Jonezetta's new CD somewhere in Starkville. It came out Tuesday, but I haven't had time to go buy it!

I am a college student

This past week, the senior education majors received our applications to student teach, I mean our application for the teacher internship. During this meeting, we basically we were basically told that it did not matter how much money we paid MSU, we were no longer college students attending MSU, we are teacher candidates applying for a job everywhere we go. I have no problem grasping the concept that we are applying for a job everywhere we go, especially since the principal of the school I am currently at will be writing us a letter of recommendation. However, I do have a small problem understanding the part about not being a college student. I like to think as long as I am paying tuition, I am a college student. 

Last week I made a menu for the next month and went grocery shopping for the whole month. Of course, there will be some things that we have to go get later, but for the most part we have everything we will need! We have established Thursday night as homemade pizza night! I have been making just a plain pizza dough, but this past week I used Claire's wheat pizza dough. (I tried to link that, but if it does not work, click on Claire on the side of my blog) Usually we just make cheese pizza, but I made chicken pizza for me and Jess and a small cheese pizza for Spenser. 

Sunday I going to attempt to make a roast.. I never tried this so hopefully it comes out! Wednesday is fettucini alfredo! 

Last  night I got brave and made praline- cheesecake homemade icecream! It is SOOO good!

I did not go see Gavin last night :( I fell asleep... but it was much needed sleep. I just wish I could have falled asleep earlier in the day so I could have made it to go see Gavin. 

LSU plays N. Texas today ..... GEAUX TIGERSS

State plays Auburn - they may get their butts kicked!!! 

LONG LONG week...

Since Gustav blew through Woodville, I housed two evacuees, my brother and my grandmother. Let's just stick to saying it was a LONG week! Mom came up yesterday to collect them (at least until Ike decides what he wants to do). While she was here she bought us groceries and took me shopping for some more "teacher clothes." Therefore, it was a good ending to a long week!


Since Joey mentioned it, I will discuss last weeks game...
The weekend overall was wonderful- I mean, it was opening weekend of college football :))
LSU whooped up on Appalation State after having to have the game moved up to breakfast time. Then it came time for the Ms State game... I joked all week with my die hard Ms State friends telling them how funny it would be if State lost to La Tech, but seriously did not think they were that bad. If you watched the game, I am sure you could figure out early on that it was really a race to see who could play the worst, and State went home with the crown. They just got their butts kicked. It was slightly, scratch that, it was down right embarrassing!! As soon as I left the stadium, I sent a text to all of my State friends saying, "this is why LSU picked State for homecoming." The one time I attempt to support the school I go to, they loose to La Tech.. oh well, I had no emotional attachment to this lose!

This is for Joey too- so he better read this! I went to Oxford yesterday (it was extremely hard for me), to see Julie and Kevin say I do.... When I got there Andrew Cole said "I'm glad your here, I need some LSU around me!!!" Then he mentioned later, "Even the stinkin flowers in this town are red and blue." He was crackin me up!

Sometime this week I am going to post the pictures I took at the wedding!

I'm ready for this weekend! LSU vs. N. Texas and MSU vs. Auburn (we may really loose this one). This week is also Bulldog Bash - last year Jonezetta was there and they were awesome. This year Gavin DeGraw will be and I hope he is equally awesome!

Well I need to change laundry out and go to bed... I have to keep up with my sleep so the little first graders I have this semester do not get the best of me!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!

For the first two weeks of school, I did not have class on Wednesdays. Instead, we have seminar. Personally, I would rather go to class instead of having to sit in an auditorium and get rules read to me for four hours. However, Wednesday seminar does have a few perks. First one is, I do not have homework on Tuesday nights!! Second perk means I do not have to be in West Point at 7am. But for the time I will discuss my love for no homework Tuesday... Last year I did not have ABCFamily in Starkville, so I kind of fell behind on a season or two of a few shows that come on the station. Well this year, to my surprise, when I returned to Starkville, ABCFamily magically appeared on my line-up. I have taken full advantage of this! For the last two weeks, I have anxiously waited for Tuesday (last night). The last time I had ABCFamily, the TV show, Greek, was just coming out. I fell in love with it. Then.... I moved to Starkville and had to give up my show. Now, back to no homework Tuesday... Last night was the season premiere to the third season of Greek. The best part about this was that ABCFamily played the complete season two all day yesterday! It was wonderful! I got to watch my favorite show all day yesterday and did not worry one bit about what homework I was missing, because I did not have any!!!


This weekend I decided to be productive and bake a little! I baked two loaves of cheese bread (soooo good)! and Fococcia (sp). I also made pizza dough for homemade pizza, cream cheese cookies, and sugar cookies!! It was very relaxing!! This weekend I am going to Ruston for the La Tech- Ms State game and to visit with some good friends that go to Tech!! I wish LSU would be playing at Tech, instead of Ms State but anyways... I think I am going to bake a Milky Way Cake and chocolate chip cookies to bring... depends on how much homework I have tomorrow night!

Well I am still loving my macbook and iPod touch!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

MAC Book!!

My macbook came in today! I love it! It is my most favorite thing ever! I should have done homework as soon as I got home, because now I do not want to work on it. I just want to play with my new computer!!! 

An Update on my busy busy life!

Sorry I did not post this week. I found out when I got back to school that I do not have intenet until after labor day. So you may be asking how I am blogging right now. The answer- I found one location in my apartment where I can pick up on my neighbor's wireless internet.. so I am stealing the internet for a little while.

Last week I ordered a new laptop! I have wanted a mac for a long long long time and I finally ordered it. Right now, if you are a student, you can get a discount and a free iPod touch, so it was good time to make a purchase. My iPod came in before I left for school, but my macbook did not come until two days after I left, so I have yet to get it. My mom mailed it to me and it should be here Monday!! I am sooo excited about getting it in and playing with it! I have had way way too much fun with my iPod this week! It is wonderful! If anyone is in the market for a new iPod, I highly recommend the touch!

On to other things... I started classes this week :(. They are NO fun! By Wednesday, I was trying to figure out how I could change my major and still graduate the first of May. This semester is just going to be terrible and there is no changing that, so I am going to have to suck it up and get over it. I have early classes everyday. After labor day I will have to be in class at 7:30 everyday and then after Halloween I will have to be in West Point at 7:15 everyday. West Point is a good 30 minute drive from my apartment, so that is going to stink!

I have not done too much cooking this week, which may be why I am a little stressed today. I did bake a creamcheese- pecan pie last night and it was WONDERFUL!! Tomorrow for lunch, we will be having lasagna, so I have to put it together today so I can just put it in the oven tomorrow! Hopefully sometime today, I can get a menu put together for the week.

I have a lot of luck shopping this week, which is really not a good thing for my wallet. I needed some more teacher clothes, so I stopped at Target and Old Navy on the way back to Starkville. I found some great pieces that are perfect for teaching, and were super on sale! I went to dirt cheap this week and found some more great pieces for $2 a piece! Then my favorite purchase of the week was my down comforter I got for $10. It is AMAZING!!!

This weekend I will be traveling to Ruston for the MS State- LA Tech football game! I will be staying with some friends from high school, I have not seen in a while, so it will be a nice get away! The next weekend, I will be attending Julie and Kevin's wedding in Oxford! Then the next weekend is Bulldog Bash. Hopefully all of these weekend plans will keep my mind clear of the misery I will be enduring during the week!

Geaux Tigers!!

Short Update :)

I have been without internet for basically the last month! I have internet on my phone, which is what I have been using to check facebook and email. I can also check this and read everyone's blog from my phone, I am just not able to make a post. I am packing now to go back to school in the morning. I will post again with an actual update when I get back into my routine at school!
