WOOT!

So Ellie and I have been working on the hold while I've been here. She can now hold a dumbbell for a minute and a half I'm aiming for three minutes. Margot said she is going to test me and Yuliya tomorrow to see if we can really do it I think her and Brandy can I don't know if Ellie is ready just yet. We haven't worked outside yet so..ya haha. I am also working Blue while I'm here and it started out sort of whack because I wasn't sure what I was working her on exactly so I just did stuff that came to mind and eventually it found a puzzle to put together. We are working on recall, heeling, and sits well that was what we started out with then we added Sit stays, fronts, and place. We just started the down today. A fun fact the first few days I had been using the remote like I always do when I have a dog with an E-collar well it wasn't till probably I think last Saturday or no it might have been Thursday when I realized it wasn't working apparently the remote battery was dying so pretty much we had been working without an E-collar haha AWESOME! I have to figure out what to do with his recall because after a few she sticks to me like glue I thought about back tying but eh I don't know yet.

Finally Home! WInter Break!

So I just got home like ten minutes ago...and so far it feels no different I mean ha ha its just not a dorm. I realized that I purposely ignored people today all day actually other then people I saw while going to my last exam or coming back. I didn't feel like talking to them. I mean its not like I was going to be sad it just bugged me going to see them like its a chore ya know? Idk but I do know that I am going to kill myself working out like mad losing like twenty three pounds!Well I'm off to be none productive

Math Exam finally over!

That...was THE WORST EXAM EXAM EVER!!! My friend Carly and I as soon as we saw the exam we looked at each other and realized...there is no way were passing this final or now even have a chance of passing the class so were probably going to take it over again most likely next semester. I am going to take Biology over the summer. So I can knock it out of the way. I'm now struggling to shower, wash sheets, and pack all at once so far...I'm doing none of the above but I'm about to proceed to the laundry room put my sheets in then start showering

Riddick Boring?

Is it possible...could today have been THE most boring day of my entire college life?! Like all that happened today was that I got up went to the farm came back and went to the cafe to eat then do laundry. No body not a single person in my dorm did anything productive it truly was the boringest day ever! I was up on the 3rd floor today mostly just to see whats new. I hung out with my friend Charles and Cory mostly and Scruffy too lol. I'm actually doing laundry as I type more like putting away...same difference haha. Andrew and I practically hung out all week with each other! Well thats all I've got haha

Biology

This was the most nerve racking of them all if I pass this then I think I'm going to be the happiest person alive. The exam was so tiring but I still have to go do something or else I will feel pitiful tomorrow about doing nothing. I suppose that going with scruffy to get hot pockets was interesting. I found out that Chris Vincent is leaving forever which I was like omg not you too! I'm hoping Christina and I find a job together.

English Exam

So me along with the other freshman had our final today it was a timed written essay. My topic was "The Best Way to Spend $10.00" I wrote it based on the Process/Analysis format. I think it turned out okay I hope I pass. I also just got my book "The Animal Research War" I'm reading that and a book on Evolution I'm hoping it'll help me for my exam tomorrow. I ran into my friend Henry Hall when I walked out of Britt we chatted for a few before parting ways.

Hospital Song

Well Yesterday was my concert choir and right before we sang our first song I didn't feel well. My stomach hurt I felt faint and for some reason needed to cry. I didn't show this during the entire concert I pretty much did a "Grin and Bare it". I immediately left after the show and walked all the way back to my dorm from the chapel. From there I pretty much threw my self on the floor and wept and scrunched up in a ball. When I thought it was over I laid on my bed and crawled on my back rest which was on mu clothes. For some strange reason my tongue started itching I thought that was weird. I was then suddenly itching all over like crazing and I felt like my lip was swollen so I went to the bathroom to scratch in private I came out the stall and was in a total panic my whole face had swollen up especially my eyes. My friend Sarah, along with my friend Janiqua, Ashley, and Scott, all rushed me to the hospital. They stuck a bunch of needles in me and then the itching went away but my legs were twitching and I couldn't stop them and for some reason I couldn't stop moving I eventually calmed down. Oh the most exciting thing ever is that I felt like I was in "House" and I got an IV which was awesome by the way. The best sleep I've had in months ha ha. Oh the concert went great except some chick behind me was screeching like a dying banshee I'm thinking what in the world is going on?!. Well I'm not sure what gave me the allergic reaction it might be the new Downy softener I just started using. I hope not it smelled really good ^_^

Fireflies

So there is this song called Fireflies by Owl City. I don't know why but I really like this song like I have a connection with it. I mean people find connections with songs all the time. I actually have no idea why I'm writing this I just got back in my dorm a couple hours ago and was going to shower but someone was in the shower so I couldn't...Grrrr (sounds of a mini dragon angry because lack of cleanliness) Whats worse I have to clean..actually that's not bad it was the studying I am not looking forward too but I have to do it. I also learned something very great uh the word NO is very powerful especially when your out with your friends and older guys that could be your dad try to hit on you ew gross much. I swear there are some guys out there that are old skeezs. I have a mini stomach ache probably from lack of food. I would normally eat but the thought of me eating food only makes me think my stomach will hurt more and I don't want that haha. Yet I'm going to shower study and clean all day..sound like a stay at home student wife

Well something extremely exciting happened that I forgot to mention in my last blog and that was that a stray who we named Roger (I like Zorro better but whatever).

I was walking back to my dorm and he was there, so I got him to follow me to my building, and then ran to get my leash and made a noose. I would have loved to have had a chain link collar, because he, and I knew for a fact, had no training because his healing heeling was so bad, but I did some work with it.

I was waiting outside when this girl who is in my Improv Club, who I have no idea what her name was, but I will call her Lauren for right now. So Lauren says "awwww what a cute little puppy" using a *baby voice*.

Now mind you this was a full grown, neutered, male. he Based on his appearance and body type plus personality he was a lab hound mix.

Then I decided to do some recall work with him. I would have preferred a lunge line, but I didn't have that at the moment so I worked with what I had. It was going okay until the unthinkable happened.....THOSE DAMN TREAT TRAINERS CAME INTO THE LIGHT!!!!!!

Lauren said, "oh, I'm good at training dogs."

I say. "oh, well I've been training for about four years. What method do you use?".
The rest needs the same treatment, but I leave that up to you. (evil grin)
She looks at me with confusion at first then I think ha ha caught ya then I explain what I mean and she says oh my mom uses clickers (gag me with a spoon) but I use the treat training.

I was like oh my gosh wow ew so I go eh it works for people that do it right and I told her I use the Koehler method of course she didn't know what it was. It was hard for me to explain it exactly I told her how we let the dog learn it mentally so that it figures out what were asking of it with constant practice.

So I finally got around to working the sit on Roger (the dog) he actually didn't pretty good but if I could have worked with him everyday it would be heaven.

I actually thought about taking it back but then I thought one it has ticks uh so not happening two Margot would kill me!

So then Lauren starts to play with him and then this is where it made me mad. Roger grabs her coat arm and I say off I don't know why I didn't say give ha ha I wasn't thinking about it bad me.

So then when I get it out of his mouth he keeps going at it so I say leave it each time because they kept talking about how he was going to be our mascot.

I say well to even be considered he needs a bath first and some really committed training or else there is no way of us keeping him. THIS CHICK IS TEACHING HIM TO BITE and so he stopped when I kept at the leave it and she says "oh he's just playing" ya playing for now and also he jumps on people so I had to tell him off for me he wasn't totally misbehaving maybe I had my alpha pack aura on that night.

It made me madder and madder when they kept making baby voices and playing with him in a way which teaches him bad manners I took him aside every now and then as to get him under control.

Oh but hahaha the whole point of this was to talk about how I missed training I wonder if I can train a dog when I get back I personally don't care if I'm not paid I will do it for free as long as I can train!

Sometimes I wonder if I did you any favors by teaching you so much. Will just have to hope things work out. Meanwhile, what happened to Zorro, aka Roger? If there is a way to keep him hanging around your dorm, why not do it? Most likely at least until it gets bitter cold, if he has food and water he will make do. After all, dogs have been making do for thousands of years and do have a bit of practice at it. The critical needs will be food and lots of it, water and a place out of the wet and wind.

Meanwhile, if you spend some time working with him every day, why not call him Zorro? Its for sure he will be more willing to answer to your Zorro than he will be to answer to their squeaky Roger.

Just a thought and most likely one that, if you get caught, will get you in trouble.

OH MY GOSH...I miss Dog Training T_T

Well something extremely exciting happened that I forgot to mention in my last blog and that was that a stray who we named Roger (I like Zorro better but whatever).

I hate when I have back to back

I have no free time at all today and I hate every minute of it. Especially having to goto a dinner then go work on something fr my acting class then right after goto an Improv performance and right after that go study its way to stressful man!


So I just came back from the show and it was a pretty good there were a ton of laughs. We went to the after party I never goto the clubs parties because there...well to be honest lame hahaha. I have way more fun with the Greek life. We were waiting for them for almost two hours all the people that said they were going to be there didn't go so that pissed Brittny and Jordan off. I didn't care really I knew they probably weren't going to show. Don't get me wrong like a few people came Joe, Basset, Steffon, Jasmin, Shala, Chaz, Meagan, and two others I just don't know there names haha

The thoughts of a Non-Conformist

I swear I wonder if I'm actually a nonconformist or just some twit who goes around saying whatever pops into her head...I think I'm a bit of both ha ha. I mean seriously though its like I ask a logical question and no one has a clue what the hell I'm talking about except maybe a few realistic people who think OUTSIDE the educational box. Oh but when I ask a stupid question (sometimes on purpose as a joke) they take it as literal and it makes me seem incompetent. Its ridiculous! Whats bugging me even more is that I have the personality to be a Vet but I have the academic ability to be an actress not the personality which makes me hate theater people more and more there just so damn stupid I will even quote a friend of mine "Theater people are all stupid because they can't do anything else" It bugs the crap out of me because I don't want to be an actress all my life that's such a sketchy job anyway! I mean you have a 50% chance of even being successful. On that note one thing I think I will never do ever again is go all the way across campus just because my friend wants to do something so simple. Its one of those activities you do when you live in the same building....WE CLEARLY DON"T I am in a completely different dorm. I mean jeez la weez why would I come all the way over there just to hang out....and not do anything! ARGH I can't take that kind of stupidity anymore. Well I am about to finish a project now so I will just have to update later ttfn

Why should I feel in danger?

Well Yesterday there was a shooting and two students were shot one is most definitely dead it was a girl named Karen or something I don't know and a dude he is in the hospital at the moment. Now I heard about an accidental hunting accident and didn't think anything of it. That is until I left out my room and was headed down the path when my friend Kasie said "Your walking down there all by yourself?!" I said ya why wouldn't I? So this girl Heather said "because of the shooting" I said oh that was a hunting accident she tells me " Are you stupid use your brain the shooting was over there *points to the woods* and two students were shot they only told people that so they wouldn't panic". So after hearing that I was a bit irritated that she acted like I knew that I was supposed to think about what the hell was actually happening. I was a bit concerned when I was walking down the what we Ferrum students call the rape path because the way the tree's are put and also there is a creepy bridge and at night its just really creepy. ANYWAY! ha-ha I was a little bit worried saying don't stress just use your senses thank gawd for working at ADT for years because I could tell when a dog was coming ha ha. Well I am excited for Thanksgiving because its another break so yay ha ha. I also can't wait to see the dogs again yay talk about fun ^_^.

Wow that wasn't so bad

Oh my gosh so today was the pre showing of the play I'm in called "The Laramie Project" and it didn't occur to me until after the performance when I was talking to my friend Cerisse that I didn't have any stage fright...at all I just went out there did my thing with emotions and what not and exited till it was time to go one again. It felt like a ritual really kind of like doing a novice run through over and over again where your only thought is what you and the dog need to do. I was quite pleased that I got a thumbs up on my Lucy Thompson role. I was having a real tough time getting her right. I finally got it yay me! Also I really can't wait till next year I want to be roomies with Cerisse we really do have a good bond. Well tomorrow is opening night I can't wait to see who shows up! ^_^

Deadly!

So I went to the health center on campus to figure out what was wrong with me... Apparently I have strep throat I only find this peculiar because I don't have any of the symptoms other then redness and slightly swollen. I have to take penicillin twice a day. The good news is I get out of singing class the bad news is that I can't sing for awhile and I'm singing all week ha ha plus I love singing so I can't help it ha ha. I got scolded by my friends Sarah and Rebecca because they knew I wasn't supposed to sing and I told them I went to my singing lesson anyway ha ha they were like SYDNEY! OH MY GOSH hahaha it was hysterical teasing people telling them I had it they were so scared luckily its not contagious or at least I'm not anyway. There is a lab mix in are building two RA's know about it except one the head RA which is called a RAG or something like that. He almost caught Kasie with it! Luckily I'm a good distraction and even better spy lol and she was never found thanks to me ^_^. I am going to talk to the dean before winter break because I really think if I show her Ellie's CGC test or as a matter of fact do it again! I think I can convince her to do that to all the people that want to bring there dogs to college with them. They have to pass the CGC test or at least something like that. Then again who knows these could be the desperate cries from a chick who really wants to get back in touch with training and animals in general haha.

Lol bad me!

So today the college hosted the annual Folk Festival and it was okay I hung out with my friends Marie, Sarah, and Rebecca today I enjoy there company ha ha. I almost did something really bad they were selling puppies for less then 75 bucks and they weren't mangy or anything. Yet they were the bad batch they were trying to get rid of I almost bought one...thank gawd I didn't because one I don't have a crate or any food dishes or water buckets or training material for a puppy. OMG but I want one so freaking bad I really REALLY! want to take Ellie back with me over Winter Break. If I'm going to do this I have to think long and hard about it. Tomorrow I'm so excited my friend Victoria is going to drive me to the mall and get a back up costume ^_^. I also I know someone is going to protest but I went vegetarian again haha I want to see how long I can last before I cave

Stranger Danger?

Well I'm with some friends chilling outside of the Riddick hall (my dorm building) and we hear that there was a shooting near the baseball apartments. Two people were shot, the other was helicoptered out of Carl's place. They put the campus on lock down they said this happened a couple years ago and people didn't have classes for awhile. That's probably the best part ha ha. I am really excited to go back for fall break get things for my Halloween costume and for the winter. I'm very excited about my bro bro (Trevor) coming to visit the campus. I really hope he gets accepted then I would have someone from BHS to talk to hmmmmmm I wonder if I'm going to be in Riddick again I hope he is I might be in Basset who knows? I know I don't ha ha. I am very excited now my friends Tiffany, Jordan, and Illy are going to pledge KAS and try out for Cheer leading I am too its going to be so much fun ^_^

^_^ yay!

So I was late to math for the second time luckily this time I told her I woke up late so I wasn't marked absent. I also got Netflix WOOT! Lol so I have a list of of almost 50 movies. I am going as Military babe for Halloween so excited haha. I have rehearsal which should be interesting being as I lost my script so I have to borrow someone else's and for some odd reason Improv club is making us goto practice today but I'm going to be late because I have a class. I swear I don't know how I do it sometimes I hate theater snobs with a passion and its weird because outside of the theater were totally cool but once we hit the stage there different and well..snobbish! I asked my friend why they do that she said because I'm competition which is weird being as they are better then me anyway lol? I am also going to see if my parents will pay for 2 lessons a week for private singing.

Dance Basement

So all day I've been doing laundry and homework while watching movies ha ha. I usually don't do that on weekends I go party then do homework. Also there was a crime that happened in my dorm today some money was stolen from my friends room Victoria the suspect is a friend of mine also named Brittney. Police were called because it was reported so far there isn't much going down except she got questioned. Hmmmmm I know that practically every girl I run into has a crush on my friend Chris they call him the black hulk haha my own roomie is like awwwing over him. I don't think he is the bee's knees but then again I'm cool with most of the guys here anyway so haha. I don't know my friends think that the reason most guys don't ask me oout is because I'm to intimidating I don't know I don't think I am but haha who know's

Wonderful Weekend

Well I truly did enjoy my weekend and as always I slept over at Basset on the weekend. Poor Cara(my neighbor) she was sick all weekend luckily she is better now and probably not to happy that she has to do homework HA! she isn't the only one luckily I just have a ton of reading I have to study for Bio then do some sheet work for music and lastly I have math its not hard I just hate doing it. It's possible my mother was right I should have switched out of my night class but its to late now which is a bummer I really need to pass this class I don't want to take it again I think I'm capable of passing with a B with a C as my lowest. I don't know if its hard I don't think it is but it feels like all we do is take notes and do test which quite frankly isn't going to help me in the least bit. Still who know's maybe I'm just in a funk and I will get back on track after this stressful month.

*Sigh*

So I woke up late because I forgot to reset my alarm so I didn't take a shower till 12pm which annoys me greatly. Then barely had enough time to eat and to top things off of fun things to do before an exam I found out my neck is bloody and raw again so I can't wear necklaces for a week or two. I went into math ready to take the test that didn't work out so well Carly and I both at some point relized we were most definitly going to fail it. Luckily we have a B or A in the class so it won't hurt us to bad. Now I'm about study for my Bio I also fund out I just have to study the packet not the words. Oh yea so I might have slightly annoyed Scrappy today because I was teasing her about this guy that she hangs out with which I won't ever do again lol. So I tried to study while doing my laundry and during rehearsal. OMG OMG OMG OMG I went to my private singing lesson and anyone who has sung in the choir knows what this is I sung a high A today ^_^ yay me! I finished the exam and I told my teacher I didn't want to know what I got on it ( I thought it was okay wasn't to hard) she said someone with your grade would be very concerned I told her I was but I want to have a good day tomorrow. I told my classmate that and she agreed with me saying she didn't want to think about that grade all day tomorrow either. Well My room is a mess but I'm not officially cleaning it till Spring haha. Don't worry I wash my sheets just not every week like once a week I might actually wash them tomorrow?. Hmmm OH! so I don't know when my mind will conform with society when it comes to health matters I mean when there are things out there like the flu, H1N1, west nile and what ever else we can think of. I don't I think my immune system is better off to get rid of it naturally because if it doesn't then I have a better shot of having a positive affect to medication.

O.M.G

Well today was I don't know it was content I suppose I didn't have to go to English and see my snotty teacher and I got my wish I had wished last Friday that she got the worst hangover ever so we wouldn't have to go to class and....IT WORKED because we didn't have class hahaha. Well I have two exams one is in Math I think I will be okay the other in Bio I am really worried about that because I'm already failing the class which isn't cool and no it isn't because of the work its because of the test I am getting my friend Thomas to help me study instead of Tim I'm mad at him right now. What else hmmm oh I might get a job at the farm across the street ha ha I didn't know if they were hiring or not my friend Russel I found out today is working there. Yay and the whole Geese training....yea I don't think it will work right now being as I can't touch them because its illegal :-P hmmmm OH!!!! I'm coming back in October so I will try to swing by there if I'm not held captive by my parents first lol. So rehearsal was pretty blah for me being as I'm in the third act and were on act two. Russel and I were literally only 3 minutes late and Christi was just telling us this lame story of how were going to get kicked out if were late I'm like it was only by a few minutes gosh no need to be so unpleasant. During this rehearsal my friend Scrappy aka Samantha Franklin ha ha we were talking about weddings don't ask why I have no clue it started with are favorite flowers which by the way are Birds of Paradise and Orchids. Yes I am going to be the only chick who thinks Roses are boring lol. I have a feeling one day were going to do a full montage of what are weddings will look like down to how the napkins are arranged. I was thinking I'm going to be different and make my dress a different color other then white everyone does the traditional white its so cliche I'm thinking maybe red or just to kicks and to slightly annoy Margot purple lol. I am going to the gym now and hopefully going to accomplish some study time I mean I have all day tomorrow to study for my exam in Biology but it doesn't mean there isn't a slight chance of me bombing it.

Horrible two days

Well yesterday wasn't the greatest and neither was today I got smacked on the shoulder at rehearsal for being asleep when I wasn't in the scene at all today (-_-) plus I pretty much had a hectic day trying to catch time then I found out I'm failing Biology that was the cherry on the cake. So I'm finishing a paper while contemplating if I want to go hang with Harry and the boys tonight I probably won't to long of a walk. Tim is going to help me study this weekend so ^_^ yay

I'm not a total fail WOOHOO!

Well today I had the busiest schedule ever to the point where I didn't shower till like 3pm today lol. From 8am to 10:30am I had classes then I had to goto the gym at 11am then at 4pm I had singing lessons then at 5pm I had rehearsals then at 6:45pm I had Biology then well......thats it lol but it was very active. I just downloaded Skype its pretty interesting and I also discovered a new favorite song called Get U Home by Shwayze. Well I'm reading two books again luckily I am a reader so its not so terrible.

Pledging

So all this weekend I went to sorority smokers to check out the Greek life. Smokers by the way are Bonfires there are many different ones to pledge fr such has RHA, ZOE, KAS, AOS, and some other one it had to do with a religious one so I stepped away from it ha ha. Omg my voice today was so bleh in choir that's the last time I go party on a Sunday hahaha. I got a part in the play The Laramie Project we had are first rehearsal today, it was a run thru. Then later my friend Carly and I went to the gym with Adam and worked out for 2 hours then Carly and I did math hw XP. Now I'm in my dorm room. It was weird I was about to say now I'm home doing my nails lol while trying to read for my acting class. So Carly and I will go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then my friend Thomas said he was going on Tuesday and Thursday so I might go with him as well I don't' know yet.

Lovely day

Today was my friend Aubrey's Birthday I got him a plaque from the bookstore today. I had my second audition luckily Wayne said I can do my monolouge tomorrow morning for him because I had a Bio Lab today. We were doing a scientific method on Pill bugs or Roly Polys there is a bigger name but I can neither pronounce it nor spell it ha ha. So apparently today is Thirsty Thursday to bad no one is getting "thirsty" lol thank goodness Riddick needs a break. So I'm doing laundry as I type this its not so bad I actually enjoy it probably becasue I don't have so much it like I did at home. I've come to a conclusion wherever you go no matter how far you run drama isn't far behind its not as bad as high school drama........ITS WORSE! I mean geez everything here is about sex, drugs, alcohol, and education its basically like high school but more intense lol. I have given up trying to know everyone there are 1500 students here. I'm sure I know atleast maybe 100 but I don't think I can remember everyone's names from the people I know and the people I will get to know in the future its just to much. It's been declared the socialite has given up her title and has turned back into a social butterfly hahaha.

18TH BIRTHDAY

Well today is my eighteenth birthday and I was very totally loving it. I can do so many well........I can do several things now that's great I can like buy lotto tickets or like sign things or like buy cigarettes not that I smoke but I can legally do it if I wanted too! A lot of the friends I made at college said happy birthday to me and one of them gave me a balloon this weekend I'm going out with the girls to dinner in Roanoke ha ha its gonna be tons of fun. A lot of my friends on facebook said happy birthday I felt so loved lol. I got 2 packages for my birthday I should be getting more sadly thanks to my mom lol she gave everyone my mailing address. Well so far its been a decent day I suppose.

Today was hectic

Well I had to get up early and take my shower which isn't that great being as its not my shower lol. My Friend Rose told me I take long shower haha. I had to go to Intermediate Algebra hate the class by the way. Then I ahd Fundamentals of acting we had to do a skit I did it with my friend Cliff and Eugene it was fun people thought we were funny. So in a rush I had to memorize a monologue and then study for a test. For some odd reason the audition today was pushing time it ended 5 minutes before class. OH! did I mention I completely forgot where two of my classes are, yeah isn't that intelligent haha. Now I've got tons of hw I'm going to do my Gateway homework then try to do some of my other hw before I decide to do something non productive. Such as stare at the laptop for 2 hours watching moving pictures on youtube.

Skit Practice

So tonight Eugene and I went to Cliff's apartment to practice a skit for tomorrow. Its about this woman who married two different guys under two different names and they found out about it. I had to do a lot of improve it was fun. Then later Julia and I went and walked around campus at the dead of night singing songs to the best of are knowledge lol it was really funny we climbed a wall. Now I'm sitting here writting two short papers and looking for a monoluge lol I really need to get to bed I havew class at 8 in the morning.

New friends

I made 5 new friends yesterday there names are Nick, Tucker, Lexy, Phil, Matt, and Aubrey.....Ok so maybe thats not 5 but I did make them lol. I dropped a course and I'm takign up another one thank goodness I did. My friend Sam is in the course so I won't be all alone haha. Well I just messed myself up I've got a ton of reading to do tonight and I have to read two books for English XP. I'm reading for Biology now luckily class is not for a couple of hours. I think I will be ok. I'm going to sleep in my friend Ashley's dorm today she has been begging since I got here haha

Could it be anymore active

So I had to get up at six in the morning in order to goto my Intermediate Algebra class. I was so almost going to be late because I misplaced my wallet haha I was that determined to find it. Then are teacher was very enthusiastic about are math notes and homework for some odd reason. Then I hung out with ppl till I had ot goto Stage Craft which I might drop because my teacher is pointless I don't know yet I have all week to find out haha. I tried out for collegiates today, its a type of choir. OH! speaking of which yes I love love love choir almost as much as I love dog training.....well almost lol. I've finished most of my homework I really don't want to do math homework. I've got to read one chapter before I have fun so I will check back in later tomorrow BYE ^_^

Missed

Ferris is looking for you. I think he misses you more than any of the other dogs. Be prepared to get mobbed when you come home whenever it is that you will be back.

Shannon is doing nicely, but it sure would have been very so much nicer if things had worked out so that you could have been here to help with her training and Yuliya's training. That's right, Brandy's owner is signing on as an adult apprentice. Of course she is already ahead of Shannon since she has put in a very hard 3 months getting Brandy into some sort of decent shape.

Major complaint to you; when are you going to learn how to spell and punctuate? Your entries are down right painful to read. Just be thankful I'm not one of your profs, cause if I were, all your papers would come back to you bleeding to death from the attack of the red pencil. See there are these little, yet really big problems with things like, did you mean 'our or are'; 'there or their or they're'; 'were or we're'? And I didn't even think about the lack of little items such as comma's and assorted other nuisance marks called punctuation. Think I'll get you a copy of "Eats shoots and leaves" and plan on quizzing you on each chapter.

Think about the difference in meaning between "Eats shoots and leaves" and Eats, shoots, and leaves". The addition of two commas totally changes the meaning of the four words forming the sentence.

Lecture over, now I do feel better. Remember Susan and Eppy? Remember I asked her to b ring her grandson with her? Well, she is continuing to bring him and since he is being homed schooled, I get to start another really young trainer. Right now his job call for him to show up here on Mondays and Fridays with his bike and scooter. He spends his time climbing the trees, riding his bike right around and through were we are training, plus throwing walnuts over the fence and doing the always and ever present job of scooping poop. Oh, and she is bringing him and his scooter to class on Thursday evenings.

Got a new dumbbell that fits Ellie. We are going to start teaching her to retrieve and plan on videoing the process. Remember Sanity's puppy dumbbell? Well just for fun Sam now has Rugby retrieving it. I'll try and get some shots of him doing it on Thursday evening. Maybe will have Sanity retrieve Rugby's dumbbell, just for grins and giggles.

Miss you much.

Scrappy and Scruffy

So today I finally got a chance to hang with Sam btw I'm going to be adding names in front of things like for instance if I'm talking about Sam at applewoods I will say dog trainer Sam. The one I'm referring to is theater Sam ha ha. So after taking to really long surveys today in are seminars its been told we have to dress up tomorrow.....WOOHOOO lol Lindsay and I are going to take pics of it lol. I was hanging with Harry and Chris today there fun to hang with. Then I chilled in Brooke's Dorm then ate lunch with Emma and Ashley. Later Sam, Adam and I went to Sam's Dorm to hang out were now called Scrappy, Scruffy, and Scrawny...(were working on mine haha). Well I got to pack my bags now I guess I dont' want to though lol

First Official day at Ferrum

Well I finally got unpacked and hung up all my clothes all by myself ha ha. My roommate Jordan and I get along fabulously we also both talk extremely fast ^_^. I said hi to all my friends I had made while I was down here I was so happy to be here. I have only one concern and I'm sure anyone who knows me knows that I have a thing where I'm very hyper and talkative. All this excess energy is being to waste what will I do now! Oh my gawd It's like holy crud the thing I had contained for four years is coming out. I had a place to release it at my job so it wasn't a problem I have nothing to do here but exercise which is boring. Yet I have to do it anyway because I will be trying out for cheerleading next year now I have something to do with my flexibility. Hmm I also just came back from a hall meeting I like are RA's there funny and very blunt. I'm not going to start immediately but I'm going to train a Goose or Duck That will be on a separate blog well I'm kind of bored so I might go exploring ha ha ha.

So its my last night

Oh my goodness how do I loath packing let me count the ways ha ha ha. I've been packing all my things for like 4 hours now. I can't wait to go back and see my friends but I also hate having to be so far from the dogs and ADT. I haven't got much to say except I"m starting to create a trend of blogging lol.

Last day

So today was my last day :-( I'm going to miss everyone most of the people there have known me for 4 years max. I've learned so much from Margot its like oh my gosh where did the time go. I'm going to stay in contact especially because I'm going to be doing some geese training while I'm there ha ha ha. I've got a clicker and I truthfully loath the object but I've got to use it X-P. I just wonder if Ellie, Sanity, or Ferris will be beside themselves when they notice my absence and realize thew new me has come into the limelight. Speaking of which I know I've been trying for a year now and it looked like I wouldn't be able to find one but as luck would have it ^_^ I did ha ha. Her name is Shannon I hope you guys will be nice and don't scare her to bad LOL. She is similar to me in persona but as Linda had told me today "no one could really replace you your irreplaceable". I'm going to miss Sam and Rugby as well she was the only one aside from Margot that wasn't stupid or like weirdly normal ha ha. Hm mm what else can I say.......................................OH!!! I will be back in October so I'm looking forward to that Lol. Also I'm posting a new blog on my training on the goose or duck I'm going to train so wish me luck on that ha ha.

Sneaky dog

So I was shopping on Sunday and I had Ellie with me, so I thought hmmm I'm going to take her shopping with me I don't feel like going home. So I bought her a really dumb carrier. So I put her in the carrier and walked right into Target. No one noticed it was hysterical ha ha ha. Then on Monday I couldn't resist so I put her in the carrier again shopped in like 4 different stores LMAO omg no one noticed or if they did they didn't say anything. Ellie behaved fantastically I was so proud of her. Especially when we were there with my friends who were goofing off she behaved very well her heeling could do some work but her recall is getting better and better.

What a cool day

I get to work finish everything on time woohoo me! Lillith....I like red Dobeys better lol thats all I can say. The JRT Rosie checked in today she is sweet just spaztic Sam should be able to handle it. I wish I could drive I'm going to get it soon I know it! lol Omg that was horrible I got verbally jumped by like everyone at work so horrible lol. Hmmm I managed to finally get in contact with my bestfriend Christina we will be doing this for awhile. I'm so ready to go back to Ferrum with my new look lol Super straight hair with trimmed bangs ^_^. OH! I'm going to train a goose while I'm there Idk how maybe popcorn or apples I suppose but I want one. I mean they don't allow pets right now so the bird will have to do. Ha ha I will try to get tips from succesful trainers incase I get lost

How fun lol

Well it was my first day back and I feel like out of the two weeks I think I've lost some of my ability to contain my over exuberant smart ass comments. I don't know how I just have ha ha ha. So today I went to my friend Mariah's house and helped paint her basement we got her bedroom done and half basement the bathroom is the last to go. I'm at home now watching Family guy I don't know why I watch it bored I guess ha ha. Ellie is passed out beside me I still don't know how she is so exhuasted.

I'm home!!!!!!!!!!!

So I haven't been able to go one very often mostly because my internet wasn't working and I had work and parties lol. Worst idea ever by the way. I am pretty sure everyone who went to august term failed the math we have all accepted this and moved on to greener pastures. I feel more prepared and experienced, I made a ton of new friends and maybe like one or two enimes but she was a bitch anyway XP (parden the language). I am unpacking while texting my new friend Thomas. We both passed out and had the best sleep ever when we both got home lmao. I mean he got homer first because he is like 4 hours away I think and I'm like six or seven. Oh my gosh my friend Chris he is from Conneticut....thats self explainatory. Ha ha well I can't wait to see the people at Applewoods tomorrow wooohooo. OH! before I forget HOW IN THE HELL ISN"T IT PET FRIENDLY WHEN I SEE DOGS THERE LIKE ALL THE TIME THAT BELONG TO THE FREAKING FACULTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< >every one's dogs aren't trained probably unlike Ellie ^_^ ha ha. I mean there should be a test your dog has to pass in order for you to let it come with you ya know?

Day 6

So today was pretty awesome I love being loved by other people. lol I don't havwe much to say but uh yeah

Day 5

OK so today wasn't so bad my awesome new best buddies Brooke, Ashley, and TJ woke up and were late to class by 20 minutes. I'm so glad that are teacher didn't mark us absent. Surprisingly enough thw homework we got today wasn't that much and we managed to finish it before 12:30am. Today was so funny I don't even know how to describe it just the guys are to funny Brooke and I were laughing so hard during lunch and after classes. I think I like it here I just wish I knew my schedule they still haven't made it which is ticking me off to no end. I also hope I have classes with some of them its going to be hard to be in a class with people I don't know...well it won't be hard but I won't like starting over. Well I'm going to get some sleep on time.

Thought this link might be of some help to you in a general sort of way.

Day 4

So today we got an unbelieveable amount of homework that no one was able to finish before midnight. I'm quite annoyed with the activites that time could be spent on homework or studying. Whats worse we had to goto dinner right after the low ropes course. We were filty ha ha so I was a bit late to lunch. There isn't much to say I've been doing homework since 9pm I got to get back to that now I doubt tomorrow will be any better.

Day 3

So today was really bleh ha ha because we had to get up at 6:50 my hair was a mess and I was really tired. I managed to straight the top ends of my hair so its decent ha ha. I had breakfast at 7 and we had to get to are first class by eight. So I left at 7:45 so I could get there early. My classes are Computer Science, Science/Math, Composition, and Links. Luckily after Science/Math we went to have lunch. I didn't realize how far my dorm was from my class because it was a really long walk. The lunch was very tasty but man is it short ha ha ha. I'm so mad that 3 of those classes gave us homework because the way they have are days set up there basically making us to all nighters. I was with my study group which consist of Tiffany, Brooke, Chris, TJ, and myself. The girls and I were doing are Links homework and we lost track of time because they wanted us to be at some PAWS event and we were 20 minutes late we were quite getting in and the lady was such a...anyway lol. I really liked dinner it was tasty I like it here well the people anyway they love hunting, guns, fishing and whatever ha ha PETA would hate them lol. I have ropes tomorrow I hope I don't freak out lol I hate falling more then I hate bugs because its fatal :-P

Ellie the door crasher

If you want, I'll try and shoot some more clips of her doing stuff.

Day 2

OK so I went water rafting today and I really enjoyed it I wanted to do class 5 rapids but they would only let us to class 4. I got all wet from the water it was so much fun. Except that's not how the morning started out. I walked on the bus at 6am with shorts and a tank top with a bathing suit underneath it little did I know that it was going to rain all morning so I'm very cold. I didn't get a chance to enjoy breakfast so I settled for a powdery doughnut ha ha. Then when we got there I won't lie there were two really hot guys that worked there as guides ha ha I'm a girl what else would I do. Then after all the rapids we ate pizza for dinner and loaded back up on the bus. Now the bus ride home it self started out OK then ended with my cutting my self out of a conversation on purpose. It was a psychology teacher and one of my friends Caroline and I. We were talking about dogs she was telling me she had a teacup Chihuahua I know disgusting and a total waste of sperm and life. Then the teacher started saying it was the result of purebred dogs being inbred which isn't always true any breeder would slap her for it. So then it was to the point where I couldn't stand it I had to put my two cents in about what they need to know and how any dog is capable of getting those health issues. OH MY GOSH and then I found out one of my friends is a AR(Animal Rights) person she isn't hard core. Just not informed so I convinced her to become AWA(Animal Welfare Activist). Well I found my retainer so I am very pleased now I just have to get it over to my dorm ha ha. Well classes start tomorrow I hope I don't mentally panic ha ha

First day as a Ferrum College student

OK so it's my first day here and....Its pretty interesting I've made quite a few friends here my temporary roommate is Greer. My schedule is pretty active lol. We don't have a lot of chill time here. Then again maybe they did that on purpose ha ha. When we first got there they talked to us about what to do and what we might get in trouble for. Then we went outside and played some pretty fun games of tag where we started with 2 people and ended with 9. It would be the tagger and the ta gee we had a circle and we had to tag the person we were partnered with. Then we grew to a group of 4 and had to tag those to other people with are arms linked lol. It was really funny because I am a very fast person and my partner wasn't. Then we got grouped in a group of nine 4 girls 5 guys it was really fun because we had this rope game where they made us play race car with it so we had to pass it around really fast. I do oh so love activities where you actually are active ha ha ha. Tomorrow were going white water rafting I've got a pretty neat team. Sadly I knew it was to good to be true I have 2 guys hitting on me ITS MY FIRST DAY jeez chill out ha ha. Hmmm what else is there to talk about uhhhh not much lol. I did do something bad I left my retainer in the car. I'm scared my teeth my be ruined from not wearing them for 2 weeks. The plan is to get someone to mail it for me hopefully that's able to be done. Hmmm we don't start class till Monday. I have math/science with my new friend Caroline. Then I have Composition, Computer Science, And Links with my roommate Greer. I think I'm going to like it here even though I would prefer to be at Applewoods :-P
