3 things about today that are good:

1. Payday

2. Home to Gilbert

3. Start of weekend.

You're a girl, you're used to dancing backwards.

Yesterday I woke up and went to Agribusiness. We got to do a group activity which was a nice break from his usual lectures. After class Jeff and I were bored so we went to the bookstore and looked around.

I came home and did homework for a bit before heading to the farm. We are starting to wire engines which is really interesting, but also pretty complicated. I was helping my teacher carry a toolbox and he said, "Your a girl, you're used to dancing backwards." Which I guess is a pretty common statement for who has to walk backwards when carrying something, but I had never heard it and got a bad case of the giggles.

After class I tried to go to this place to pick up the rest of my dad's birthday gift but there were easily 15 cop cars there so I decided to wait on that one.

I came home and did homework and ate dinner with Alicia, Justin, and Bethany.

Afterwards I went to the Aggie football game with basically the whole college. It was a good time and it was nice to get to hang out with everyone.



PS- Yesterday morning one of my best friend's mom was getting into her car and was robbed at gun point, she is fine, but wants everyone to be careful because it happened during daylight at her home in a Gilbert neighborhood. Be careful and aware of your surroundings.

The Whisperer

Well Sunday I woke up feeling alright but still had no voice. I hung out with Bethany and Alicia and worked on homework. Around two I started getting tired so I decided to take a quick nap... I woke four hours later feeling absolutely awful. I took a shower and finished my homework then went right back to bed.

Monday I woke up and went straight to campus health. I was there for two and a half hours and all they could tell me is that I have laryngitis and will just have to wait it out. I came home and slept then went to my farm class. I didn't really want to go but I had a 100 point assignment to do. I came home and did my homework, watched One Tree Hill, then went to bed.

Today I woke up and picked up Tucker and we headed to school. It was only Tucker, Mead, and I in class so we finished early. The rest of the hour Tucker and Mead tried to talk me into saying things like, "You want some candy?" or "Get in my van!" because they thought it would sound funny with my raspy voice. After class I went to work. Peggy treated me to lunch for a late birthday treat then brought in a cake for everyone in the office and they all sung me happy birthday. I worked a little late since I don't have homework tonight and got a lot done. I came home and took a nap and cleaned. Now I'm just kind of lazing around.

A homework assignment I enjoyed:

–Where the Heart Is

–John 3:16

Toodles

Yesterday...

Woke up at 5:45 and had to be babysitting by 6:45. I've lost my voice which made babysitting interesting but I had a blast with the little girl (Kaylee). We played vet, did puzzles, ate breakfast, colored, and watched a movie. The little girl is stinking cute and when I left she said, "Toodles!"

I got home and the second I was changed Brad, Ashley, Caroline, and Loren got here. We went to Jimmy John's for lunch then walked the mall. We came back and Conley came over and I opened my presents. Brad gave me a Target giftcard, Ashley got me a board game and pajamas, Caroline also got me a game and a shirt, Loren gave me a bunch of random, fun stuff as well as a Itunes giftcard, and Conley gave me the 5th season of One Tree Hill. After I opened my gifts we played the game Caroline gave me, Apples to Apples.

Next we headed to Denny's for dinner. At dinner it was Brad, Ashley, Caroline, Loren, Conley, Grant, Sean, Tucker, Rico, Justin, Catherine, Bethany, and Alicia. I was worried that there would be some cliques but everyone mingled really well.

A few of us came back to the house and just kinda hung out and played the game Ashley gave me. Overall I had a really good birthday... maybe next year I'll have a voice.

Me, Myself and I.

I have to write a paragraph description of myself for one of my classes. This is what I have so far, let me know if I'm missing something .

I'm Laura Ann White and I am 20 years young. I love my friends, family and God. I live by the words written in red. I have lived, loved, and learned. I am majoring in Agriculture Education and hope to live in a small town. I want a big family and lots of land. I am known for my giggle. I have the heart of a child and could color for hours. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday because I love hearts...I even have two tattooed on my hip. I like being outside and trying new things. I like big trucks and going fast. I love sunflowers and The Little Prince. I'm addicted to Rob & Big and One Tree Hill. I like being goofy and chilling with friends. I love kids and animals. I eat too many donuts and take too many pictures. I like to pinch my friends' butts and go on road trips. My one vice is brushing my teeth...do it about 10 times a day. I hate Tucson traffic, mini vans, meatloaf and bad breath. I believe life is only as good as you make it and you’re only as good as the love you give to others.

"He who does not weep does not see." -Les Miserables

Well, first off let me say that yesterday was my mama's birthday. Happy Birthday Mama. Love you!

Yesterday I woke up and went to AgriBusiness class. We mostly reviewed for the test we're having tomorrow. I've been studying my little booty off for and hope it pays off.

After that class Kevin treated me to lunch for my birthday and a few other kids from our college tagged along.

I went back to my apartment and studied for a bit before heading to the farm for my electrical-wiring class. Yesterday we had to wire two sets of independent light bulbs and switches, I'm really enjoying that class and see it being very useful in the future.

I got out of class early so I went to see the guys at the ABE shop. Trav has a new invention so he showed that off and Mike is working on a cool research experiment he showed me.

I came home and studied for a couple hours then took a shower. I talked to both Grandma White and Jacque. Jacque had some good advice about my student teaching which I always appreciate.

Trav came over and we watched One Tree Hill. It was so sad! After that I dinked around on the computer for a bit and studied some more then headed to bed.

Happy B-day to MEEEEEE!

Well on Friday night I went over to Wes and Jim's and played poker with them and their roommates, once again I dominated. Jim says he is going to take my to Vegas for my birthday gift next year haha.

Saturday morning I woke up and and Alicia had gotten me donuts so we ate donuts while I opened a few cards I had received in the mail. I went and did laundry and homework. Then Conley came over and we went to the Hoggie Hut and then this place we've been wanting to go to. It's a random building that has "WHY" painted on the side of it and on the roof is a giant sailboat with a stuffed moose on top and a sign saying, "Rock the boat...VOTE!" We went in and it turned out to be a really cool antique store. We went back to the apartment then Alicia, Justin, Bethany, and Conley took me to get my tattoo fixed... had the yellow heart changed to red so you could actually see it. After that we went and loaded up on junk food and just watched movies. Next week I'm doing a dinner with all my friends.

I woke up this morning and got ready then picked up my "Little Sister" and we headed to a BBBS picnic. She got her face painted, had a balloon hat made, won tons of prizes and we ate lunch. I took her home and have been studying ever since.














Last person you talked to on the phone? What did you talk about?
Trav called to tell me about the insane number of cups in his car...haha.

What are you doing today?
Hanging out with my "Little Sister" at the Big Brother Big Sister picnic, studying, church, then I don't know.

Job Description: I do my homework.

Well, I'm sitting in my office with nothing to do. My 4-H boss took off to Mexico for the week. She left me a big pile of stuff to do but I got it done on Tuesday in about an hour and a half. My CALS A&D boss has nothing for me to do. So I've done all my homework for today and some of this weekends. It's nice to be able to get my homework and basically get paid for it, but now I have nothing to do for the next 6 hours...yikes, I may lose my mind!

Tonight I FINALLY get to meet my "Little Sister" from Big Brothers Big Sisters. I'm so jazzed.

Well...I'm off to do more nothing.

Busy Bee

With no school on Monday this week went extremely fast but was also super busy.

Tuesday I woke up feeling extremely weak and had lost my voice. I went to my class (Planning and Organizing Youth Careers) and then headed straight to campus health. The doctor didn't offer much advice but to drink a lot of water and take some claritan. I came home and passed out for a few hours then bummed around the majority of the day.

Wednesday I woke up and went to my economics class then headed to the computer lab to work on some homework. I went to Walmart then out to the farm. I hung out with Charlie and Mike for about 45 minutes the headed to class. After class was the Jacobs-Cline bbq which was really fun.

Thursday I went to class then to work for a few hours. They sent me home around 1 because I sounded horrible so I slept for awhile and did homework. Tucker and Rico stopped by then I went to bed.

Yesterday I went to economics then hung out with Kevin and Jeff before heading to Diversity. I came home and chilled with Grant. We watched the movie Funny Games, I do not recommend it.

Today I'm doing homework and then tomorrow Ryan and I are having a Gilmore Girl Marathon.

Jacobs Cline Welcome Back BBQ

Weekend update.

Well this weekend was extremely busy, but also very fun.

I got done with school at 5 on Friday and went to dinner with some friends from my college at Texas Roadhouse. After that I went to Sean and Grant's house so we could plan our hike and we also watched You, Me, and Dupree.

Saturday morning I woke up and cleaned up the house alittle. I went and deposited my paycheck then walked around Target for a bit. Trav came over for a bit and we watched some TV and danced around. I went to Eegee's with Jeri, her mom, and grandma and we all chatted for awhile. I came home and got ready then went bowling from some people from the tractor team. After bowling we went to Jim's house to play poker where I kicked butt and Andrew was convinced I cheated.

Yesterday I woke up and went to Sean and Grant's. When I got there Sean was still sleeping and when we tried to wake him up he waved up out of his room so we left without him. We hiked this really pretty trail where you have to cross back and forth across the river and when you get to the end of the trail there are seven water falls. We went swimming at the base of the falls then hiked back down. I got home and showered really fast then Alicia barbequed for but 15 of us. We all watched 28 Days Later, Along Came Polly, and Click.

Today I have to spend doing laundry and homework.
