Happy March chitlins!

Well...the end of February was not very nice to me.  Only really in one way, but still.  I went to the dog park with my sister and her motley crew and Maddie, my dog.  Caylin's landlady was there with her two boxers, well only Lily was hers, Taylor was her friend's.  Well...Caylin and her landlady were talking while I was playing with all the dogs, all six of them.  Two other dogs were running around, having a blasties and one of them ran into my knee while I was turned sideways.  Needless to say, my knee gave out, tears sprang immediately to my eyes, but I refused to cry at the dog park.  So...I manned up and held off the tears.  I was expecting the pain to stop the next day when I woke up...but noooooooo.  The next day it hurt worse and was swollen.  Caylin said that if it still hurt when the weekend comes, she is going to force me to go to the doctor.  Until then, I am just wearing a brace to help stabilize it.

Other than that, I went to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday with my family.  It was a lot of fun...we bought a gnome playing a guitar. It is so cute!  I was very proud of my mom because she was able to make it all the way around the Festival even with her foot hurting her so badly.  Daddy paid for Caylin and I to throw axes and this was the first time they actually saw us throw.  They said it was a lot of fun because they could hear the guys behind us be impressed.  The two guys that were working the axe throw were hilarious!!!!  As Caylin and I were leaving the first time, they started yelling "I LOVE YOU" at us.  It was so funny!  We got our chocolate...always a good time...chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite!

I really need to get back on track with my online computer class!  We have the midterm this week--due on Friday--and I am behind about two or three weeks on the homework for it.  This is not good, as, I am sure, you can imagine.  Also, I HATE my geography class!!  It is just not a subject I am interested in or even vaguely interested in worrying about getting an A in this class.  I need this class to graduate, so I will maintain a B...maybe a C because the teacher isn't explaining things well.  I am going to do the extra credit because I doubt I will get a B without it and because it is super easy and I actually like the Science Center--yes, I am a nerd.  I have A's in all my other classes, but in those two...I am just going with a B.

Lastly, I find it a bit odd that these days, when I think about...you know who...I can't stop smiling.  It is kind of freaking me out a bit.  I am not used to only remembering the good times and the good feelings he would make me feel.  I am used to remembering how it ended and all the times he broke my heart as he left again and again.  I am used to feeling the same emptiness that he would always leave me with every time he would build up my hopes only to send them crashing on the shores when his leave would end.  But nooooooooo...I feel all the warm and fuzzy feelings when I think about him.  Its like all I remember is the way he made me feel the day he asked me if I was his.  That was my favorite day of our relationship.  I am super lame and remember the actual date--February 7, 2009.  We talked on and off the entire day until I went to see Lion King with my family.  He was so sweet and so cute.  That was the day I realized I was in love with him.  Now, I am back to that day and those feelings and it is a bit disconcerting because he isn't even talking to me.  Maybe it is because I have realized that he was acting like he was still in love with me this last time he was home up until the last night when he turned into an ass and it may actually be promising.  I don't want to get my hopes up again and have them come crashing down, but I love him.  If that is what happens, then that is what happens.  I don't want to wait for him, but I keep comparing every other guy to him and they generally fall short in more than a few categories.  Oh well, at least I am a little happier in love these days and not so island-unto-myself-y.

Well, my little loves, that is all I have to report for now.  Oh...except that my geology lecture teacher is adorable and I love her!  She is telling the class stories about her old geese and ducks...not a fan of the aviary animals, but she is just to happy to have had them.
