A day of New things!

Today, I have done/will do lots of new things! I just realized this on the walk back to my room after making my plans for tonight. First, I started my new psychology class! (for my NEW minor psychology! no more french!) It's called Social Development in Childhood. Seems like a good class! Then I go onto my Social Psychology class soo I actually have 3 straight hours of psychology aaand I don't know anyone in either class so it's kind of boring and I text people because I don't like that I can't talk for 3 hours haha. I will just have to make a friend or two. ANYWAY, after my News class this afternoon, I talked with my friend Laura and she told me about her job at the "Tiger Calling Club". You just call people on a list and ask if they want to donate to Mizzou. She said there's a good chance for me to be hired! ( I need a job so0o bad). Soo that is my NEW job prospect! Then tonight oh my goodness, I am going with Bianca to GOSPEL CHOIR PRACTICE. hahah. um the best part is that it is associated with LBC a.k.a. Legion of BLACK Collegiates. Their concerts are amaazing and make you want to be in it and so she said I could be in it because anyone can! and Hey, I wouldn't be the first cuz there's 1 white girl in it already. I will just see what it's all about tonight :) Then after thaaat i'm headng to Advertising club with Bre! I am an advertising major and figure I should check this club out! I've always wanted to be in it, but I thought they had their meetings during Young Life..guess they don't anymore! Soo i'm gonna check that out. Then..(these next things aren't new) i'm gonna go to Veritas cuz they're talking about C.S. Lewis tonight! He has the best like phrases...realizations...summarys of ideas..in Christianity and he just makes a lot of sense, so i'm excited to see what new favorite quotes of C.S. Lewis come out of the night. Then it's off to Carla's to go over possible NEW housing for next year! alright, i'm even annoying myself with the whole capitalized NEW thing. "you've won a NEWWW CAAAR" is going off in my head. Okayy peace to you! :) Katie

THE DANCE

Man it's been a rough day! Watching this makes me laugh. I promised myself I wouldn't put this on facebook, but I can put it on here because about 4 people read this. haha. Enjoy!

First Day!

So it begins: spring semester. i'm taking five classes. 2 are gonna kick my butt (french 4 and News writing) and 3 should be breezy. I had a jam packed first day! I started out going to social psychology lecture where somehow I don't know a single person in this 400 person class...awesome. Then I went to lunch with Carla and next onto News lab with Bre! News might've scared the crap out of me. The prof seems pretty great, however, the actually content of the class includes things like a VIDEO INTERVIEW and tons of writing assignments...like ARTICLE writing. shoot. The minute my prof said our whole class of about 20 would be watching our recorded video interviews...ME...GIVING AN INTERVIEW...i'm advertising not broadcast! My entire body was encased with fear--the same kind that froze my body in Acting for Non-Majors. I hate performing...especially in front of classmates...strangers. Whatever, gotta keep a positive attitude! ha. After class, I walked around downtown with Eden for about 3 hours getting job applications at anywhere that was hiring. I'm getting residency here this year so I need to get a job and make a certain amount of "bank" to be able to qualify. I suprised myself with where I applied, but hey-I'm desperate. A job is a job. After job hunting, me and Eeds went to dinner and THEN I went to the rec center with Bianca to work out! yes, me, katie hayes worked out. and guess what? it was the SECOND TIME THIS WEEK! (and it's only tuesday!) yeah i'm on a roll. My motivation stemmed from me almost having an asthma attack when making up a dance with Cassidy over Christmas break...we literally were dancing for about 30 minutes and I couldn't breathe. haha. I knew something was wrong. So now that I'm actually scared for my health I've decided to work out more--mostly cardio, but I'm tryin' to get some nice biceps too 8) So anywayy I ran a whole MILE tonight! 6 laps! and that was right when we got there! like a mile was my warm up! Just call me Michael Phelps cuz I'm a beast. Actually, Bianca is the beast...after running we worked out on the mats doing like abs and what not and she is intense. Good thing she's my roommate so I can just have a lil personal trainer anytime :) After that packed day I came back to my room to watch The Bachelor from last night--too much drama/opinions to put on here--and eat a peice of cheesecake from plaza:) All in all, it was a great first day...a LONG first day. Now about that 9a.m. french tomorrow...Lord help me.

cassidymaeties

I was thinking about cassidy tonight...how she is truly indescribable to anyone that doesn't know her. When I first came to college I found myself telling Cassidy stories all the time. By the end of my story my newfound friends were either disgusted or confused. "she pooped on a plate?! eww WHY!" or "I gotta meet this girl." were common responses. All you Rochester friends know how hard it is to describe Cassidy to your college friends too...she is like a mystical creature. Now some of my college friends ask about her just because they were so intruiged with my first stories. That is the thing about Cassidy...she is so intruiging. Whether she is doing something unbelievably unlady-like or being a friend to a misfit--this girl can capture people's attention. She has a heart for others like I've never seen and is willing to embarass herself to the highest of extremes (ex: edward cullen, poop on a plate, solo performance in talent show, "AND I LIKE FARTING IN THE VACCUUM", most pictures on facebook etc.) She is an overcomer. <3 I am so blessed to say that Cass is one of my best friends. Cassidymaeties seemed to be a suitable start to a blog about my life--she's a huge part of it! :) I love and miss you girl!

Stay BadAzzCazz,

bienvenue a ma vie...

soo if anyone is wondering why I decided to make a blog...it's because of the inspiring Joanna Cuamba! :) Her blog is like a little dose of insight with beauuuutiful pictures (if i put up pictures, they won't compare..) and I get a little catch-up on her life. I really appreciate her blog! So I can't really say what this blog is going to bring, but I have a lot of random thoughts as well as want to give my friends/family in far away places the opportunity to check in on me at anytime! My first post is going to be about something I know well and love: cassidymaeties.
