i wish the person who thought of research papers was alive so i could kill them myself.

Oh yeah i ment to update the other day but i forgot. I finished i love bsb, 100,000 times baby. I think it was tuesday or wednesday. So that was February 15 or 16, 2005.

Well college is good. Not too much happening. One of my roommates moved out though, kinda sucks. We liked her too lol. Her first choice school called and said she was accepted like 3 days after we started classes. This school is where her fiance goes and its only 45 mins from her house and she lives in Memphis. She said she missed home like 3 days in after we moved. She had already said she wanted to go back home next year. She loved this school and Chatt just it was too far. Her fiance drove 4 hours last night to come take her back and move her. Isnt that sweet? Apparently she told him about all 3 of us and said i was the country girl lol. Taylor and Elizabeth started making fun of my accent a few days ago and when her fiance got here i said, Hi its nice to meet you and they both cracked up. I was like im from TN and i sound like everyone else. She said people dont sound like that in Memphis and i was like ookayy sure.

But anyway we had not 1 but 2 fire drills last night. It sucked booty. One was at 11:15 and i was glad i hadnt gone to bed yet and we waited like 20 mins outside before we could go back in. We hadntD been in the room 10 mins and another went off! I was pist. Its SO loud and annoying. So i got to to bed around 12:15. I felt real good this morning. Ohh the other day me and Elizabeth went into student information to ask about the library and this guy was working in there. So we talked to him and left. And he was cute too. Well then he shows up in my gov class, kinda weird how i have class with people i meet randomly. But anyway he sat next to me today and i got to share a w/s with him. He scooted his desk close to me. Fun stuff i must say. He was wearing a Rhea County shirt the other day so i assume hes from around here. His names Zach i think. Man that class sucks though. Its soo boring.

I went and ate lunch with Ashley, Drew and Jillian today though which was good. I was there for like an hour and a half too lol. Gotta shop this weekend! yay!

College life....

Well i started college yesterday. Haha me and my roommates were all so nervous. I got up at 6:50 ahh, that felt real good. I left my apt at 7:30 to be sure i got there on time for my 8 class lol. I ended up getting there 15 mins early but there were people in there already too. I met 2 girls right when i sat down and we talked for a while. I made my first college friends lol. Well i had english at 8 and my teacher is very fun. She reminds me of Mrs Lane. Young, perky, cool. I have 5 papers to write over the semester. Then she let us out 3 mins late! I had Biology next and it was only downstairs but still i walked in and it was a 100 person class. The stadium seats scared me lol. Well i walked up the stairs looking for a seat and I hear, "Cortney" and i look and it was Jeremy Roper! Oh my goodness u should have seen my reaction lol. I was so happy to see him. I sat with him and he said Jimbo was in there too and then he came in late. And i saw Charles who graduated a few years ago and a girl from church. It was good. And then i went to Music class and i passed Jillian on the way there and i talked to her. I saw lots of people going TO class not FROM lol. Well music was in the new engineering building and it was a 100 person class too. It kinda reminds me of the IMAX cause the room was huge with a massive screen. Well my teacher was a nut lol. Its gonna be a good class. Its all about classical music and i have to go to 3 orchestrated concerts. Lauren Smith brown is in the same class on another day so we can go to those together lol. But anyway my teacher was dancing all around with music she played us and made us all get up and she took 2 people on the front row and did like a hoe down with them and made them dance lol. It was crazy. And then i was done for the day.

So then i met Taylor at the UC for lunch at 11 and then she left for class and Lauren Smith called me and said she was at the Bookstore and i told her i was in the UC so she came over and we talked for a while. And then i took her to the poster tent and i got 1 for my room and then we went to the Bookstore on vine st and she got her books. And then she drove me to my apt which was nice lol thanks Lauren.

And then today i had government at 8-9:15 which was SO boring cause it was a little old man who taught it but he let us out 40 mins early so i went and waited around till History and my teacher is a black english woman so she has an awesome accent. She let us out early too. And then i had my lab which was suppose to be 2 hours but it was only 10 mins lol. I had to meet Adam for lunch and that wasnt suppose to be till 1 so i went to the library and then he called earlier and we ate. I have alot of reading to do. I need to go do that now actually.

So yesterday i went home for dinner and me and my dad went to Boyd for the football game! yay! Well there werent alot of alumni there. Well people that i knew at least. I talked to all the underclassmen lol. Lindley was the first person i saw and she ran over and attacked me lol. Rebecca came over and said hi and so did Mrs Roland. And Katlyn came over in the 3rd quarter. Shes coming over today to spend the night and were gonna go to fathom to see Bowling for Soup. I think we won the game last night. It was 20 to 3 when we left. I was so sad when i left. It made me see that Boyd is done. It wasnt the same. I followed dad to my apartment and he walked me in lol. I started to cry cause i miss home and Boyd and all and then i hear a knock on the door. I clean myself up and go and its Casey! Oh that made me feel so much better. I went over to her apt which was SO much nicer than ours. Shes so funny.

The Lord is watching out for me.

So I moved in yesterday! yeah! i have lots of crap lol. All my roommates rock! Sarah, Elizabeth and Taylor. Ok let me just tell you. So i called Morgan Tuesday on my moms cell phone so she wouldnt know it was me and the first thing i said was, You better have a reason from the moon for why u didnt show up yesterday! and she goes what? who is this? and i go this is Cortney and do u know what she said? she goes Cortney who? I go Morgan what other Cortney do u know? And she hung up the phone. So anyway i moved in and Sarah is from Nashville. I told her about my story and she said that the Greenday concert had been POSTPONED. Not even kidding you. I dont know when the new date is but i might take her with me and then she can show me around lol. I swear God loves me lol. Dont tell Morgan though, i still want my money for what she did to me.

im glad im suppose to be at my Green Day concert in Nashville right now. I would be there except for the fact that Morgan never showed up to meet me at the mall. I waited an hour in the heat for her and called her about 10 times. I called her house and her brother told me he had talked to her at noon when she was at work. That was the last that he heard from her. I am pist beyond belief.

Lasy dinner at home...

We went out to eat to Olive Garden tonight for my dad's birthday today. He's the big 50 lol. Haha i noticed after the water was introducing whatever he was looking around making eye contact and when he did with me he immediately looked at my boobs! HAHA! Ive never actually caught someone doing it but i saw his eyes move down lol. Probably b/c i had on my sundress and it was somewhat low. No cleavage cause i dont have any lol but yes he looked. I thought it was funny cause he looked 30ish.

Gotta go get books tomorrow for escuela. Casey told me i could end up with like tons of books per class. She said she has one class with 6 books! I thought that was wild until Lauren told me she had a class with 11 or 13, cant remember which. Thats crazy. I never really thought about it actually. I hope i dont have tons of books to carry around cause i dont have time to go back to my apartment cause classes are back to back. Oh yeah i remembered that my first 2 classes on MWF are in the same building lol. One is upstairs and one is down. I wont be late for those hopefully.

Oh yeah i talked to one of my roommates and she said she was gonna bring an extra TV for the living room if i didnt already have one and i was like well sure! please bring! lol cause i just figured we'd all take turns putting our tvs in there if we wanted to watch together. Oh yeah and she doesnt smoke and shes bringing her car. I think she gets drunk though cause i read her away message one day and it said "getting hammered for the last time with my boys." Thats comforting. One of my other roommates is NOT bringing a car. Thats wonderful. No ones talked to the other one. Well i already decided that im gonna show them around town no doubt since im from here, but im NOT gonna be there chauffeur. Cause i hope the other girl brings a car. I dont mind showing them where stuff is as long as I dont drive every time. And i told Taylor, if one of the other girls smoke, im gonna tell them the first day that they cant go in there room and smoke with the door shut or go outside cause im not gonna have my stuff or myself for that matter smell like smoke. Too bad. Not in my house.

Im proud of myself!!! When we went bowling after Wendy's dinner rehearsal last week, i had my first witnessing conversation with the groom. I remember him cussing and i said, Clean up, get in church, in like a joking manner and he said something and then we got into this conversation. I was thinking *Yes Cortney! This is a time to witness! Do Jesus' work!* He's a *Christian* like he believes in Jesus and Trinity and all but it was this convo about living like your suppose to and churches and all. I tried to rub off on him. Hope it worked. I've decided its gonna be VERY important for me to be Christlike at school this year. I mean obviously I always try to be that way its just gonna be alot different since im not at a Christian school anymore. Influence and first impressions are key. And i also thought that the Christian husband I hope God sends me I meet in college. And then i realized college starts next week. Ive gotta get involved. Krista was right, where there is church and church stuff on campus, there will also be church boys there as well lol. The Baptist Student Union is calling my name already.
