I'm home.

Hello everyone!
I made it back from Nebraska last night okay. It was a LONG zero visibility drive but I made it without any problems.

Bestfrienda and I had a beautiful weekend. We ate lots of turkey (his name was Walter), I forgot the stuffing though but we made it work anyways. Danced alot, I made a snow angel, broke my hip and then had an overly entertaining drive back to NE where we then proceeded to go out dancing again at the MAX. It was a wonderful relaxing, fun, crazy, beautiful weekend. Thanks to all that were involved. You know who you are.

Alright, since I didn't get any work done this weekend. I need to get some done now. Peace out. Love to all.

Yea Break.

So break starts tomorrow well technically at 6pm tonight but for real tomorrow cause my bestfrienda will be here and it will be a party.

Boston was okay. I suppose if I didn't get into an accident and get airbag burns on my chin and chest and just feel like crap I would have had a better time. However, I did get mistaken for a homeless person so that was a highlight. I got lost a few times but one time I discovered JFK's birthplace so that was cool I guess. I took a picture. That is good enough. I think that I would like to go back to Boston sometime maybe in a less stressful situation.

Karaoke tonight! Yea, it will be fabulous! I am excited. Okay well I need to do some car shopping and then get to the library before class to finish up some research before break so that I can get it done during break. Yeah, there is never really a break for me. Ugh, that was pathetic.

Peace out.

On my way...

Okay since Minnesota sucks, it decided to snow today leaving Northern Princess and friends in a panic on how long it will take to get to the airport because of the icy roads. So instead of leaving at 2:30 the girls are leaving at 12:30... yea! Hopefully the roads won't be bad and the girls will just sit down and have a nice dinner/breakfast at Denny's. This northern princess is so excited to go to Boston that she can't hardly wait. While she will miss some back in Minnesota the excitement of the city and the conference will hopefully take care of the homesickness. Well, it is time to go and load Hoss and get her started so that Northern Princess doesn't have to scrape all of the ice of her windows. Love to all. I will be home on Sunday.

Quick Post

Okay so I only have like 2 mins to post. Here's whats going on. Had a beautiful weekend. Want details, email me. Leave for Boston for NCA in less than 24 hours. Excited, stressed. I have a million things to do but am not feeling well so I have been sleeping in a little to much lately. Bad news bears. Now i have to go. I will try to write again soon before I take off tomorrow morning.
Alright, love you.

It getting closer...

YEA so in exactly one week the Northern Princess and friends will be in BOSTON for NCA. This Northern Princess is so excited she might die. Only bad thing is that Boston already has snow unlike here in the northerland and northern princess was hoping to avoid that for as long as possible. Anyway, it will get to be a fabulous time and many southern friends will be there to catch up with. Yea!

Other news, observation went very well for the Northern Princess. Her knee is feeling better after the fall, even though it looks really gross and her body hurts from straining many different muscles Northern Princess is doing quite well these days. Nothing to complain about I guess.
Northern Princess is working on getting registered for classes next semester, that is a fun chore. She is not sure what she wants to take or can take so that adds a little stress but northern princess will work though it. No big deal. Anyways, this northern princess needs to get her butt in the shower and head off to school for a relatively short days with plans for a long weekend in the cities, shopping has to be done or this northern princess is either going to freeze to death or look like crap in Boston, either will not be had so a weekend shopping trip is in order.

Alright y'all, have a beautiful day, think of me cause I'm pretty, and have a great weekend.

Where has all of the time gone?

After a long weekend in South Dakota, The Northern Princess woke up early yesterday only to realize that there are only 4 more weeks of class until finals. Once the state of panic had passed the Northern Princess sat down to outline all of the things that she needed to get done before December 12th. While that was supposed to put her at ease, it did not and instead made the panic worse. Unfortuanly, it did not motivate her to get out of bed and work on anything, instead lulled her off to sleep once again. Upon waking around 2pm the Northern Princess made three lists. One of what she needs to do socially, one of class assignments, and one of what she needed to teach her students by the end of the semester. These lists helped out because the Northern Princess realized that the way that things are spread out all tasks are able to be accomplished with minimal stress. Although anyone that knows the Northern Princess they know that she works much better under stress. So things are much better today.

The Northern Princess is still fighting her yuckie sickness and today feels like a tiny man with a hammer is living inside of her brain beating the inside of her head at a nice rythmic tempo. Not fun at all. So while she knows that she has tons and tons to get done, Northern Princess would like to take a nap. Unfortunatly with the big trip to Boston coming up that cannot happen and instead of napping, Northern Princess will fight her way through 6 journal article readings for class tonight and then work on grading speeches before finally crashing, hopefully before 2 am. And while Tuesday is a fairly easy day for her, this week the Northern Princess is being observed in class so that adds stress and has to run karaoke Tuesday night at Bandana. So sleep on Tuesday will more then likely be optional yet on Wednesday should be able to catch up before the weekend gets crazy again. Then three days until flying to Boston, then three days until Bestfrienda gets here for Thanksgiving and the party starts for the downhill part of the semester.

Nothing much more is going on in this princesses life. Just dealing day by day.

So off to get some reading done. Much love.

Why me?

I know that I am constantly asking why me but this time I really mean it. I am sick. I have some sort of respiratory infection that requires an inhaler and horse pills and I still can't catch my breath after moving from my bed to the couch. Not only am I sick I have to be observed in class today and I don't think that I should even drive into Mankato cause I might drive off the road. AND, and I was supposed to go see Blue October last night and instead while everyone was out enjoying their Halloween I was on my couch crying because I hurt everywhere and I can't breathe. AND AND I have a huge paper due tomorrow for my Comm. Theory class and I don't know when I am going to do it cause all I have the energy to do is lie in bed and watch t.v. I hate this. I wish that someone would come and take care of me. I just don't know what to do... yuck.
