speaking of....

so you (you know who you are) raised a good point. with the majority of our bloggers (yeah like the three of you) i really don't know what you all plan to do with your lives. as an attempt at blog bonding share with the blog what your want to be, study, do and/or experience. (PG please) the blogosphere is that place, i promise we will accept you!

so that familiar question of where do i see myslef in 5 years, the one from dawsons creek: well, alive, healthy, happy, with good and meaningful relationships with old and new friends and most importantly the family. by then i should be about done with college and back out in the real world doing something i love. something that i can look forward to and find my own way to help others, to make a difference in someones life, and if im really sucessful more than a few. who knows exactly where this future lies, but i wont want to miss a minute of it.

and now it's your turn.

those two towers standing tall

so saint scholastica went pretty well to say the least. im not quite sure that it's what i want, but i really have nothing to compare it to, so... the person i roomed with was named kim. easy... think again, kim's roomate was named kim. well less memorization i say to myself. then after settling in another girl comes and we all decide to go for a walk/hike. her name is megan. once again easy. then we go to find rose, finally someone with a different name, but unfourtunatly rose was not to be found so who should join us bet her roomate: KIM!

so yeah i went on a hike with megan, kim, kim, kim and me (megan). what a group! i really can easily admit that i did not have the right shoes for hiking, or that i remember the last time i went hiking for that matter. we found the trail and it was pretty nice. once we had to climb up this really steep hill like 75 feet up and we were leaning just in order to keep going up, and not faceplant. after making it up we had to stop for a couple minutes just to rest (uphill climbing in the forest is pretty strenuious). as we continue on the trail we eventually end up walking on paths right in people's back yards! we're like "hey isn't that someones house?" well we were just following the path. then we come to a really cool lookout point and attempt our way back to where we started and we realize that this has gone on way longer than planned, and we head straingt to dinner were i finally see some familiar people:holly and brenden. it was really good that they were glad to see me, and dinner wasn't too bad either.

that night we did what any college student would do on a sunday night, apparently, we watched desperate housewives. sunday night i also had a home made caramel apple from megan (not the same one from the hike) and it was delicious. oh yes and kim also showed me her facebook, even though i prefer myspace (and i think she was jealous), but she had very interesting pics of the night before at this place called "beaners" i like that name.

the next day i woke up around seven and we had breakfast and headed over to tower. my first class was in the science building which was pretty new and i was in an 8:00 class called Human Biology and Heridity. oddly enough i somewhat knew someone in this class, he just looked familiar. turns out he was like my cousins best friend. it was interesting that no one even said anything when i was just sitting in on the class JUST sitting, not taking notes or getting a test back, but that was cool. then i went over to tower for the rest of the day (sciences aren't my thing) i went to behavior management, and actually had a clue as to what was going on. then i ran into danielle marot, who recognized me from BHS, and who was also in my next class: first year comp. that was interesting. they were actually learning about grammer and i had to do this worksheet about where to use the comma, colon and or start a new sentence. groundbreaking really...the next class was my challenge: intermediate spanish. it was acutally taught by a guy! most of the people didn't speak that fluently and we did this worksheet on accents, and then did a dialogue in front of the class about a situation in the doctors office. then i had my last class: mythology....ewwwww i almost fell asleep like three times. glad that was finally over.

overall i think it was more important to see the college experience in general to give me a little insight. who knows at this point though, all i know is i should really start making some money to help, because i know it scares the hell out of my parents thinking about what it's going to cost. it was a good experience, but it will be one of very many this year, and i know this for sure. i really prefer to live in the here and now, and when you compare things in the past to know you probably wouldn't believe how things have changed, although some things don't and that's okay with me too. carpe diem my friends, don't mess around you only have this one oppertunity.

and the search contunies...

well it's been a while since i made a post and i thought to fill in the blog readers as to what t'm doing this weekend. well toninght i will be doing homework frantically until i have to go to work at 5. then on sunday my parents and i will leave for duluth more specifically Saint Scholastica http://www.css.edu/ just in case you were curious. There's an open house thing on sunday and then an oppertunity to spend the night and attend some classes on monday also. Thus far i visited the campus in july and met with an admissions person, so this august i applied (hey! i had an application waiver), and i have been accepted including a "benidictine scholarship" which is 11,500 each year as long as i'm full time and keep a 3.5 gpa (i think that's it?). it's a pretty nice scholarship seeing as i dodn't sepratly apply for it, but it can make a pretty good dent in the higher tuition price. so i've pretty much got all my bases covered, and this visit is a good predictor to give me a better idea as to wether i could see myself there or not. well wish me luck and i will probably post when i get back.

"Catalina y yo rompemos los corazones."

I voted tonight and yes i got one of those "I voted" stickers. sweet! nuff said.
mulatto out!

is that your elbow????

ahh yes the day that has awaited me since the eve of my birthday. the chance to use my gift certificate at the fine line. Today i got a one hour massage...it was AMAZING!! the bed i was laying on was like a heated water bed and everything was so relaxing. she started with my back and then my legs and feet for like a half hour then i flipped over and she massaged my scalp, ears and even my face. then she did my hands and shoulders and i was so relaxed as she finished. It was great and i highly reccomend it.
then i moved on to my "spa" (this is very different from the salon) pedicure. soaking them seemed routine, but then she added in the maple walnut scrub or something. squishy between the toes after that she had like this seaweed moisturizing stuff which she mentioned was "all natural aveno products" after putting it on she wrapped my feet in these hot towels. later she put on my polish and i recieved some free shoes!! haha they are disposable flip flops!? little green pieces of foam like 2cm thick and i had to walk down the stairs and out on the road with the little toe dividers and foam flip flops on my feet. they are really cute and all, but pretty slippery and harder to drive in.

the last sweet scoop

today was my last day at the chocolate ox! just a few phrases that i will NEVER have to say again: sugar cone vanilla cone or a dish....single scoop size or kids size...the napkins are right by your shoulder....2.50...out of twenty...we actually only take cash or check...the closest bathroom is at the chamber of commerce just down the street.....yes a single is two scoops......WOW!

i feel better already. but as i ended this summer job i began new things. out with the old and in with the new. the new: i had a (free) tuxedo "frappe" i didn't even drink coffie like beverages at the beginning of summer. i had a sugar free red bull, and i finally went tanning at the carribean tanning salon. (this one most exciting) the beds were a little confusing but they were huge!!! and one had a matress, but they had this one, of only two in MN, that was soo wierd. it was a huge yellow thing that like circled around you as you laid in it and moved, i have a suspicion that it was created by aliens..... so wierd.

turns out bobbie was working (she knew my dad, and me) and we also had to push our index fingers onto this keypad for authorization so no one could steal our points hehe. sh says index finger and my mom takes her middle finger, she says no like your pointer, my mom takes her fourth finger, NO INDEX we had to demonstrate this one. ohh god. "oh i'm sorry i keep embarrassing you megan!" (mom) hmmmmm. we plan to return regardless.

CALLING ALL STUDENTS WITH ATHLETIC ABILITY!!!

i went to the first football game of the year last night. i actually ATTENDED the game like a regular student (something i haven't done since sophomore year), what a game it was.....

i'm not quite sure why but even our players looked so much smaller than tecs players. the game was a pretty brutal defeat (7-28) and sitting in the senoir section we (meaning senoir guys-the ones who stand the whole game-why i have no clue) attempt to cheer on the team incomplete pass after incomplete pass, sometimes to the other team. now understand that i am no sports writer, i sometimes even call it a goal instead of a touchdown, but i know a brutal defeat when i see one. one warrior member mad a rude puch at the ground in the end zone after missing the pass as the warrior side yelled "awwwwwww!"

this is a cry for help if you have and athletic bone in your body give it a shot and tryout for brainerd. it's a wonderful town and we are very accepting people, especially if you good at athletics :) you may not have a locker or a place to park your car, but if you are good enough you may be eldigble for a faculty parking spot, just keep your hopes up.

in other news we have NO MORE CHEERLEADERS in case you weren't aware they are CUT!! ouch....maybe that's why we didn't win last night. just a thought.
keeping you posted on the less important things in life, this has been megan kummet, save the drama for the sophmores BHS, and have a good night.
