So, apparently I haven't posted since Friday the 13th. I'll back up til Valentine's day then.
On Valentine's day, I had to work. Sucks but like I have a valentine to spend time with anyway. Instead, we had a party at my house. My dad's fiancee gave me a singing bear that sings "I'm too sexy for my shirt" HAHA love it. And she gave me some candies. Yum. So at work, it was boring. I studied for a test I had Monday. I'll get to the results of that. Other than studying, I had to work on a powerpoint I had to do for a state competition, i'll get to that too.
Sunday, we didnt do anything. My dad and his fiancee went to church, then we all went out for a birthday dinner for me. My birthday was thursday, by the way! Yep. I'm 19 now. Woo. Whatever. 19 is a stupid age. There's nothing fun about it other than being the last year of teenage years. One more year til complete legalness! But anyway. Sunday I had to head back to school. YUCK. Along the way, I stopped at my dad's fiancee's house. It's like an hour from mine. I stopped to see her daughters, and her and my dad were up there so I stayed to chat for a while. Like 3 hours. So I ended up heading back to school in the dark. It was kinda creepy yet awesome at the same time. Seems to take longer in the dark even if I am going the same speed.
Monday was my test in Intro to Business. I got a 91% ! One of the best grades in my class lol. I'm doing pretty good this semester. Way better than at K-State. (sorry, Chase) I didnt do much else on Monday, except work on my powerpoint for BPA.
Tuesday. I dont remember this day. Let's skip it.
WEDNESDAY! Omg what a hectic day that was. I had to get up at 7 am to deliver cookies for our weekly fundraiser thing. But the cookies fucked up in the oven and the bakers and I had to miss most of class which was crucial to the BPA competition. But my teachers caught me up. I finished my powerpoint completely and packed for the competition.
Thursday was my birthday! I know i said that but you know. We had to leave for BPA state competitions at 7 am. We got to our hotel around noon and we had to get dressed up for the opening ceremony for the competitions. For the competitions, all you do is take tests in the subjects you sign up for and hope you do a good job. My first test was at 4 thursday afternoon. It was Advanced Office Systems and Procedures. Sounds complicated right? IT WAS. I'll tell you what i placed in a bit. Then I had another test at 6 in Fundamental Spreadsheet Applications. That was easy as breathing. I tell you what i placed in that too. So I only had 2 test thursday night. We're required to take 3 and then we had to take 3 tests in the open events (those are for everyone). So I got back to the hotel and my roommate, Daneen, and I ordered pizza for dinner. Took us literally 2 hours to figure out what we wanted. We finally settled on 3 pizzas; pepperoni, sausage, and cheese, and then get some cheesey bread. YUM. Then bed time!
Friday, I had my last major test at 8:30 am. It was in Powerpoint Presentation Management - Individual. We were given a topic. The topic was, we were an event planner for the 2015 national leadership conference location. So we had to pick a city, research it, and present it. I did mine on Portland and so did one of my other BPA friends from my school. Out of all the big ass cities in America, we chose the same damn one. I betcha Jackie copied me. I'll tell you how I did in that in a minute. Also on Friday, I took my 3 open tests in: Computer Technology, Informational Technology, and Management/Marketing/& Human Resources. I did pretty well in those. After everyone was done testing, part of the group went out shopping for an hour or so just to get away. Then we grabbed the rest of the group back at the hotel and had a group dinner at Monterrey which is an amazing mexican restaurant. My teacher, Jodi (we call her by her first name to her face too), was complaining that she was gonna turn 30 this summer. I laughed and said "omg" just like that and everyone at our table laughed. I thought Jodi was gonna choke on her tea for a minute. But it was awesomely fun. After dinner, we went back to the hotel, and there was a BPA social event for everyone there. I didnt go. I fell asleep at like 8 pm lol. Go me.
Which brings me to today. We had to get up at 8 am to get ready for the awards ceremony at 10 am. I was nervous as fuck cuz I was afraid I didnt do as well as I thought I would've. BUT for the moment of truth:
In Fundamental Spreadsheet Applications = I GOT FIRST PLACE!
In Advanced Office Systems and Procedures = I GOT SECOND PLACE! still as awesome!
I didnt place in my Powerpoint Presentation THANK GOD cuz I did NOT wanna take that event to nationals.
I placed top 10 in all three of my open tests I believe. I dont remember. My certificates wont come til sometime next week. until then, I cant tell you what I placed in lol.
So, that's that and I get to go to nationals! Which, this year, is in DALLAS, TEXAS! Where my roots come from. WOOT WOOT! Nationals are during the week before fuckin finals. OUCH but who cares! I'M GOING TO DALLAS! If you havent guessed, I'm excited. Cant wait.
So that's how I've been and what I've been up to.
As for the song of the day, I dont have one lol. I can't pick one at the moment but no big deal right?
Right!
Have a good rest of the weekend!

Happy Friday the 13th!
My day has been pretty good so far, surprisingly.
I know I haven't posted the past so many whatever days. Monday night, my dad called and told me that my last living grandma had passed away the previous day (Sunday).
My family is pretty weird.
I've always had my real mom. When I was four, she divorced my real dad. About a year later, she remarried my step dad, who adopted me.
My real dad's mom is the one that passed recently. So it's kind of awkward because I haven't talked to any of them, besides my grandma, in about 14 years. Well, I saw my real dad and his new wife and sister at my mom's funeral. Talk about awkward between step dad and real dad.
Despite what my biological parents went through, my grandma still wanted to keep in contact with me because I'm awesome. But she sent me christmas cards and birthday cards every year. I'll miss that. Sometimes we would write back and forth just for fun. I always loved trying to decipher her old handwriting.
Either way, I'm gonna miss my grammy, of course. It hasn't hit me yet since I haven't talked to anyone since my step dad was the one who called and told me. I'm gonna call my cousin tomorrow, see how everyone's doing, catch up on things, all that good stuff.
Other than my grammy passing away, I've been really sick during this same time. My (step) dad and I figured it had to have been the flu, since nothing else made much sense. I'm finally over it. After 64 hours of not being able to eat anything, I finally managed to keep a sandwich down this morning on my way home from school. Yay!
I'm pretty excited about a couple things. One, next thursday, I'm leaving with my BPA (Business Professionals of America) group to compete in a state-wide competition. There's different categories you can compete in, each person gets up to three. Mine are: 1.) Fundamentals of Spreadsheets, 2.) Advanced Office Practices, and 3.) PowerPoint Presentation - Individual. I'm looking forward to it.
The second thing I'm looking forward to is that also next Thursday IS MY BIRTHDAY! Woot woot! I have to celebrate my birthday with 20 or so other people plus however many other schools are gonna be there. Who knows. But either way, I'll be 19. I know that's one of those ages where it doesn't matter but hey, a birthday's a birthday.
That's pretty much all I have.
OH, WAIT, just kidding!
Song of the day - which I'm turning into the song of the week.
I know Chase likes this song.
I Don't Care by Fall Out Boy
Hehe.
Have a safe and fun weekend!

Double-Feature Friday
As the title says. But before I go into that...
For the first day in a couple weeks, I was actually stalked by a human. For a while, this one yellow lab has been following me to class. Every morning when I walked out the door, there he was at the bottom of the stairs. Then he'd walk me to class, crap in my general direction, and run away. But today, I was walking to my dorm from class and one of my friends texted me saying she sees me. I couldn't see her and it was kinda creepy. Usually you can find them... but I couldn't see her. Turns out she was driving when she saw me. Creeper.
I had a pretty good drive home though. I saw a lot of semi's. One of which was pulled over by a cop. How awesome is that?! Super Awesome.
When I got back to town, I met Chase at the Union to get some chinese for lunch because in Highland, there ain't nothing decent to eat. After we ate, we... I forgot where we went. Oh, we went to the mall. Checked out the book store and hot topic, our usual spots. Then I took Chase up to campus so he could pick up his art project. I have no idea what it was but it looked cool. Yep. After he got his project, we drove by Dillon's so I could see if Donna was working. She was but she was in the back; I later found that out. Chase and I decided to go see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Which turned into a, "hey! let's go see two movies!" And so we did.
Underworld was pretty awesome, considering it was about the werewolves and I'm a vampire chick. It's weird how it's placed in the sequence of events in all three movies; I wont explain that just in case no one has seen it yet who wants to. Then we went along with our plan to watch two movies in one night. After Underworld, we saw My Bloody Valentine in 3-d !! It wasn't that bad to be completely honest. It was a little more bloody than I would've liked but it was decent all the same. And the 3-d affect was pretty cool. I would recommend seeing it at least once. I'm not gonna buy it but I did enjoy it. Especially the naked chick. haha.
All day, I been thinking about what song I should choose for my song of the day. Thanks to Chase, who gave me the idea, instead of one song, I'm gonna pick two to go along with the Double-Feature of the movies. Sooo, without further adieu..
Number 1:
1, 2, 3, 4 by the Plain White T's
Number 2:
Gives You Hell by the All-American Rejects
"And that's the way the cookie crumbles!" ~ (thats right) BRUCE ALMIGHTY!!
Haha.
Have a safe weekend.

I had a better day today.
Nothing new to talk about though. Besides that I'm coming home tomorrow!!
It's beautiful outside. I should go out and sit somewhere but I'll get cold from the wind eventually.
I really don't know what to talk about. I'm going to add some fun quotes to my other blog ( http://mdfritz.blogspot.com/ ) here in a minute. I got some funny ones today finally.
Since I have nothing else to talk about, here's my song of the day.

R.I.P.
So, I feel like blogging now. But it's not going to be about my day.
As much as it's gonna kill me, I wanna talk about my mom. Because everyone needs to let go but I can't.
For those of you that don't know, my mom passed away June 20th, 2008. Also the day I lost my job. Great day, eh?
She went in her sleep, which is good, I guess. My dad keeps telling me, "atleast she's not in pain anymore." My mom had a lot of health problems so I guess now she can rest in peace.
Whenever someone close dies, there's always a feeling of guilt. I will admit, I was the worst teenager. I was always mouthing off to my mom, saying shit I didnt mean but was just too angry to let it go. I will never forget all the stuff I said. Especially the last thing we said. I was on my way to work the night before and it was storming so my mom wanted me to call her when I got there. So I did, and I was such a jerk. My mom's last words to me were I love you. My last words to her were, "yeah, I gotta go." I will never forgive myself for that.
I really do love my mom, even though I never showed it. She never believed me. She was always saying how much I loved my dad more. I loved them equally but she never understood the things she did to me to make me so angry. I understand now, that she couldn't do half the things I did for her by herself. She did try, I'll give her that.
She never did see my high school graduation. Because of her health issues, she was having trouble breathing that day. I was so mad but now I should've cared less. I guess, because I was five when my mom graduated college, I saw her graduate, I thought she should atleast see me have my turn. Either way it doesnt matter. There's no changing the past.
My mom lived to be 45, almost 46. She died in June, her birthday's in July. For anybody, that's still too young.
The day she died, my dad was the one that had to find her like that. She was gone by at least 3 or 4 in the morning; 3 hours after I got home from work. My dad found her about 6 am though. He called the ambulance, police, you name it. She was pronounced dead I guess, around 9 am. My dad had the chance to calm down for a minute to wake me up and let me know. We sat on my bed hugging for God knows how long before he needed to make some calls. I pulled myself together to help. He gave me the liberty of calling the family. Thanks, dad. But I did a good job I guess. I kept it together.
My mom's sisters came to our house and made my dad and I dinner since we took it the hardest. We got everything planned and ready to go.
I saw my biological ass of a dad at the funeral. I dont know why he had the nerve to show up but that just pissed me off. I bet my mom rolled in her grave.
I dont know what more to say. But I didn't manage to keep myself together for this one but I wanted to do it. To get stuff off my chest.
I love you, mom, always and forever.

Mega Monday!
Not really.
Mondays I have one class at 9 am; Intro to Business. Most of you might be like "that sounds boring" yadda yadda yah.... I find it quite interesting. I can learn about the American economy in class, 3 days a week, rather than watching the news which I dont pay attention to anyway.
So I woke up at 6:22 am, one hour and eight minutes earlier than my alarm. I hate it when this happens. Damn you internal clock. So I woke up, went potty, tried to go back to sleep, to no avail got back up, and on the computer. Then I had my breakfast which consisted of a coke and a poptart. Oh and some gum which I still have in my mouth. I like Wrigley's spearmint cuz it lasts foreverrrrrrrr. I did some of the dishes that piled up over the weekend I WAS GONE. F- you roomies. No, I'm only kidding. My roomies are cool. I was bored anyway. YOU'RE WELCOME.
Right now I'm waiting for the cafe to open for lunch. I got bored... so I'm posting now. I'm not going to include the song of the day right now. I'll post a part 2 a bit later when I get back to my dorm. I havent even decided on a song of the day yet anyway. I'm listening closely to my iPod to see if one pops up. Otherwise... I'll turn to youtube and see what they "recommend" for me. Heh. Usually it's decent stuff. But who knows. We'll see.
I'm logging off for now. Check back later for more!!
