I don't know if I can be bothered to hand write my entries anymore. I mean I have my lap top! With Microsoft Word! I can type 75+ words a minute! But I will finish you. I mean I am almost done. No point in leaving you hanging..what with only a few pages left. I don't know why I haven't been writing..oh wait yeah..school. So maybe from now on I should make an effort to write every day until I am done and then I will switch to my lap top. I don't think that will take very long...

I am done with summer school and now summer stretches before me. I don't know what to do with myself. It's like my brain is still on "going and going" mode. I feel like I should be doing something or that I'm forgetting to do something.

But here is list of things that I could possibly do:

• Knock out at least half my to-read books that are in my bookcase so that I can buy more like Bad Girls Don't Die, I don't know why but this book looks simply fascinating to me. Or go the library!
  
• I can watch every single Disney movie I own with the exception of the Christmas ones because I don't think I can watch Christmas themed things in the summer. I will become Disneyfied...and I could possibly blog about this experience.
  
• I can clear out my Google Reader which is seriously backlogged.
• I can finish the complete set of I Love Lucy
• I can finally watch season 4 of Lost...all in one day! Trust me I'll do it. I'll become a hermit that day and not talk to anyone.
  
• And finally I am going to go to Washington for a month! I LOVE VACATIONS

Ok so, so far today I have woken up at 7:30 am so that I can take my last exam...on a Saturday. I mean who does that? Plans exams on Saturday? Are they masochistic? Because I certaintly didn't enjoy being there. I mean no one was up like I was. I got to school in 20 minutes or so, that's like a world record. Usually I have to deal with traffic! But I was up early enough to get breakfast at Mcdonalds! I never get breakfast there mostly because either I was a.) working, b.) at school or c.) and probably the most likely answer, sleeping!. As I was saying I love breakfast there specifically the Egg McMuffin plus I was craving a coke from a soda fountain like you wouldn't believe.

So I guess..stayed tuned for the rest of the day you never know what might happen other then the fact that I'll probably pass out from exhaustion and sleep the whole day.

Love,
Christa

Yesterday Vox’s questions of the day was about your first kiss and I liked this question so while it was yesterday I’m going to write it today. I didn’t have time yesterday to write a post as I had an exam that I was cramming for most of the day and I have another one that I need to cram for but I just wanted to write this up real quick.

So let me begin…

First I have to tell the back story, I had recently met this boy named Shawn at one of my best friends, Heather’s, house. It was on Easter weekend which meant I was on Spring Break, we always had Thursday, Friday and Monday off. I don’t know if they did it differently because we were given Rodeo* off here or if it’s like this every where else. My friend Whitney and I had just gone to the movies, 10 Things I Hate About You to be exact, which is one of my favorite movies. As we often did we stopped at Heather’s house unannounced because she was usually home since she couldn’t drive yet and was younger then us. Shawn and his friend Randy just happened to be there that night as well. I went to high school with both of them and they were also in my graduating class.

I was sitting in the dining area of Heather’s house where the kitchen was when Shawn walked in and the very first thing he did was sit on me. You know that fake thing where you sit down on someone and you’re like oh my mistake? Yeah he did this to me and then just continued to sit there while I was some what surprised and confused. Although it was a pleasant surprise and pleasant confusion because I had that excited, “oh my goodness a boy is giving me attention”, feeling.

Needless to say a lot of flirting happened after that between us and at school when we saw each other we did a lot more of it. I started hanging out with him regularly as I started hanging out with Heather more. The funny thing is that Shawn was Summer’s ex-boyfriend in which it only lasted about a week back in her freshman year. He also happened to be her first kiss as well only it was one of those quick peck like kisses. After much debate over this matter I decided that I liked Shawn and I told Summer and she said since she dated him like a week she barely even counted him as an ex-boyfriend and she had broken up with him, BUT then she told me I could do better. (longest sentence ever)

He had started coming over at night after work and I remember distinctly that I was sitting in the dark on my bed listening to my discman**. I don’t remember what CD I was listening to but I do know that I did this a lot back in high school. I would sit in the dark on my bed listening to music or reading books by flash light.  If I were to guess the CD it would probably have been a.) Britney Spears …baby one more time, a Backstreet Boys CD OR (wait for it) Korn***. I also know that I had my hair in braided pig tails and I was wearing my favorite blue zip up hoodie. Ok now that I’m done going on a tangent I’ll return to my regularly scheduled blogging. Shawn ended up coming over and I turned the light on and we told each other that night that we liked each other and then talked for awhile. I remember he took me in his arms and kissed me good bye. I was really nervous about the whole thing because I had never kissed anyone before but I have to say it was a pretty pleasant experience. It was just very sweet and some what innocent which really describes my whole relationship with him.

He became my first boyfriend but it didn’t last very long and I realized much later on down the road there were better kissers out there. 

*Two days in February when the rodeo comes to town.

**Ahh the times before the ipod

*** My music taste makes no sense but I really loved Freak on A Leash by Korn. To this day I still think it had one of the best music videos.

Things I love

+My sissy, for making me laugh all the way home. I really needed that phone call.
+the movie Penelope which I don't have on DVD but should really rectify that because I'd probably watch it repeatedly if at all possible. I'm seriously considering paying full price!
+James McAvoy! even in Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when he has those funny ears.
+Next week Season 3 of Supernatural comes out on DVD! I'm putting it on this week because next week I'll probably forget to do it.

Things I loath
+School
+My FSHD 487 professor because she decided that a.) there isn't a required text BUT we have to print up every stinking article that she has as Required reading, talk about waste of ink b.) then I have to do article overview questions and I have some due already on Thursday and lastly c.) her exams are essay style. I hate essay style mostly because I'm really bad at them.
+TMJ
+Canceling on people....because of my FSHD 487 professor.
