the good, the bad, and the what just happened?











{January 14, 2009}   Spring Semester

I am acutally quite excited about this semester. I will admit that it is going to be considerably harder than last semester, though I am ready for it.  This semester I am taking Sci 1101 (science), Psyc 2105 (psychology), Math 2207 (statistics), Musi 1107 (music), and Engl 1102 (english).

So I’m in my psych class and there is around 50 or so of us in there; Prof asks us how many of us blog. Obviously I raised my hand. Turns out that I was the only one in there that blogged. Personally, this shocked me. Well she walked over to me and started asking me questions about it like who I used and what I blog about usually. Now, normally when someone is picking me out in crowd of my peers I freak out because I will go ahead and let you know: I’m pretty insecure. And when I mean “pretty” I actually mean “severely”.  But this woman reminded me so much of a lady I knew (obviously I still know her, I just haven’t seen or talked to her in years) in south carolina that I couldn’t tear away from our coversation. I mean everything about her scream this other woman. Her voice (tone and accent), her appearance, her mannerisms.

So anyway, she went on to tell me that she has thought of maybe having her students blog instead of essays and I told her what a great idea except I was the only person in the entire room of fifty that blogged. She unfortunately steered away from that concept and before leaving to get back to her desk, she asked me, “Do you ‘twit’ too?” It took all of my not to explode with laughter because I immediately thought of myself twitching and doing random short dance moves without music (please dont ask my why, this is just the way my mind works.)

I will also say that not one of my profs is boring, but they are ALL unusual yet interesting. It’s going to be a good semester.



{December 18, 2008}   Bikes or Bust

My amazing church has had its annual “Bikes or Bust” event for the second year and we managed to raise up over 200 bikes for the kids all around Acworth!

Every year Freedom Church puts its staff up in a lift (this year it was 50 ft!) in front of Wal-Mart and for 50 hours they sit there raising bikes for less fortunate kids in schools around Acworth. This year we had camels and a huge inflatable slide, which, by the way, I had entirely too much fun on. It was just a really great 3 days and I appreciate Freedom Church and all of our voluteers. I had so much fun and I cannot WAIT until next year!



{December 4, 2008}   Twitter.

Well, I’ve given in. I feel like I have let some part of me down somehow. There is no valid reason for me to feel this way, but I just do.

I now Twitter.



{December 1, 2008}   Thanksgiving

We celebrated this delicious day on Friday instead of the traditional fourth Thursday this November. I will say that the meal that Mom, Maddi, and I created was WELL worth the wait. I would go through everything we had but then I would get really upset that it is over and I don’t want that. All I will say: I have discovered that I make AMAZING twice baked potatoes. Seriously. They were good.

This fall break has been much needed. I have been needing a rest from school and I am enjoying every minute…well, minus the minutes at work.

But since I have been enjoying this break, I have consequently procrastinated (not that I EVER do that…) and I now have to finish my English Documentary a little later than originally planned. Oh well, it will get done, I have faith…and I also have a Rockstar planned for an all-nighter ;)

PS We have recently gotten an adorable kitten named Roxy. She is about 10 weeks old and is VERY playful…I’m pretty sure she thinks she is a dog. Thats OK. I like dogs too.



{November 22, 2008}   007

The newest James Bond is my favorite so far, I am 98% sure of it. Although I really enjoyed Pierce Brosnan; Daniel Craig has out done him.

A bunch of us just went to see Quantum of Solace and it was INCREDIBLE. Partly because in the previews it was revealed to me that the new Fast and the Furious is coming out next summer (yes, with Vin Diesel AND Paul Walker!)

It really was a good movie…worth it…go watch it.



{November 19, 2008}   Why?

Direct quote from my math professor:

“There will be a question on the test from section 5.2 that most everyone will miss.”

Then why would you put it on there?! Are you setting us up to fail? At least go over it with us so we are prepared for it. Talk about frustrating.



{October 29, 2008}   Dead Cars, Trunks, and Strangers

Yesterday was a roller coaster of emotions for me, and the ride didn’t really start until I got out of class at 7:15. After listening to “We Will Rock You” by Queen during my test because of the basketball game going on right outside of class, I went to my car on the second floor of the east parking deck and…it wouldn’t start. Well this has happened before; I just wait a few minutes push the brake and try again… Still nothing…Still nothing…Still nothing…

I called my family because we were all supposed to go to the Marietta Diner for Maddi’s birthday dinner and so they decided to just come get me and we would go eat before we decided to try and jump it to get it to a repair shop.

Food was incredible. And dessert…even better. Everything was amazing…including the service; thank you Victor. ;)

We come back to the now empty garage and maneuver my car and Mom’s van to where it would be easiest to jump but still out of the way for other drivers… Its not taking. We wait around 12 minutes and I try again… And again…Still nothing. We figured it MUST be my starter.

We call AAA (they now know me on a first name basis by now. they practically screen my call: “yes ms. regan? your at KSU again? ok we’ll send someone your way…again.”) and she said that it would be a 30 to 90 minute wait. We headed over to the dorms because Tyler and Austin called to see if we wanted to watch The Strangers with them. We tell them what’s going on and while giving them the run down, the tow truck guy called me. It was amazing that I could understand him through his mumbles, but i managed and he told me he would be there in thirty minutes. So we drive back over to the garage and wait.

About 20 minutes later the guy calls me again to get directions from to the garage. As I tell him to take a right onto Frey road, I hear, “Oh…oops…I just ran a red light…Like it was seriously red…oh no…Do lots of cops stay over in this area?” GREAT. My tow truck guy is about to get pulled over and with my luck he’ll have drugs in his car and be arrested. Well…luckily no cops caught him and we see him pull up to the parking deck and he OF COURSE cant fit.

As he is telling me this dreadful news…The boys (tyler, austin, ian and chris) pull up and are HYPER. So I guess it wasn’t as big a deal as I thought that he couldn’t fit the truck in because Ian hops in my car and says to the guys “PUSH ME!” and he puts it in neutral and they just easily coast and ride my car (literally tyler was on my car) down to where the truck is. They seriously made my night. I was so excited that they showed up (their heads are getting bigger as they read this) that I was in the best mood even though I was ready to cry about 10 seconds before they showed up. As he hooks up my car to his truck the guys are playing frisbee up and down all the levels of the garage.

THEN mom and dad go home and Maddi, Ian, Tyler, Chris, Austin, and myself try to pile into Tyler’s Corolla. This was difficult considering all the stuff Tyler had in his car. So this was the seating arrangement:

Driver seat: Tyler

Passenger seat: Chris, Austin

Back driver seat: Amp

Back passenger seat: Kelsianne, Maddi

Trunk: Ian

Lets just say its a good thing we didn’t get pulled over…

After that we got to their dorm and watched The strangers (one of the scariest movies i have EVER seen). I’d might as well been a bear the way I mauled Ian. I all but pushed him off the couch ever time something made me jump (and that was pretty much the whole movie). And Tyler on the other side of me was upside down on the couch by the end of it. Needless to say: It was intensely creepy.

Austin and Tyler were kind enough to take me and maddi home considering our lack of car.

Thanks guys for making my night better! You all are seriously AMAZING friends!



{October 21, 2008}   The Cold

This is my favorite time of year. I’m starting to see my breath at night and when the sun shines during the day, the warmth mixes with the cold and I get the feeling as though i’m riding with my windows down in the winter with the heat blaring. An odd description, I do realize this, but some of you will understand.

The time frame from mid-October to January 1st is the best time of year. All the best holidays are in there, Halloween, Thanksgiving, CHRISTMAS, and New Year. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it!



{October 19, 2008}   Cute Guys & Embarrassment.

I ALWAYS seem to make myself seem ridiculously retarded every time I am around one.

Today, at one of my tables, there was this beautiful young man. I could barely form actual words while trying to take his order. Well he asked me if we had any butter and honey to go with his biscuit; do you know what said when I gave it to him? “Here’s your boney (i pronounced that as “bunny”) and hutter. Really? I wanted to DIE.  … Luckily he was really cool about it and said that he does stuff like that all the time but i’m sure that he was just trying to help me seem less like a dork than i already was.

After work today I headed to six flags and met everyone from small group and we had a LOT of fun! So Tyler, Matt, Callie, Ryan and I all get on Acrophobia (the one that drops you 200 feet-INCREDIBLE) and there was this >not ugly< guy who I kept making eye contact with while i was getting on the ride. Well, we all go to get off. I am on the shorter side so I was having trouble. Well I figure I will just try and hop over my seat to get out…NOPE.

Before I knew it i was on my back on the ground. I didn’t quite make it over the thing i was jumping over and I clipped it. Wow. I didn’t have the courage to see if Cute Guy was laughing at me. It was enough that all my FRIENDS were laughing. But I won’t lie. It was HILARIOUS!  I was laughing so hard that even when Ryan helped me up…I couldn’t walk straight and almost fell over AGAIN. Wow. Good times.

Haha no wonder i’m single lol!

That was my exciting yet somewhat embarrassing day. I even have a big nasty scrape where I landed on my knee after failing to jump over my seat.

Anyways: FreedomGeneration TOMORROW!!!!



{October 10, 2008}   I might have seen a dead guy.

The other day, at the front entrance of the KSU library, I found about 7 campus policemen and one or two security guards (you know the difference between them, one has a gun, the other has a plastic badge) Well they were all standing around under the awning. It was raining, so my first impression was annoyance instead of concern because I did NOT have an umbrella which was causing me to get WET. The part where I became concerned was when I suddenly saw what they were all looking at.

There was one policeman standing more out of the awning than any of the others, if that makes sense, to keep people from coming in that particular entrance. As he told me to use another door, I noticed what all the fuss was. There was a guy (mid 20’s, nicely built; looked like a tall football player: your welcome for the visual) laying on one of the benches under the awning.

He was not moving and his eyes were closed. Was he dead? I’m still to this moment not sure. He could have been. No one was working on him like giving him CPR or anything they were all just standing around waiting for something. The coroner perhaps? Well it was an interesting day and it had me nervous throughout the rest of my classes. I couldn’t concentrate on anything. That guy laying there motionless was all I could see.
