Weekend Wednesday of 10th week :)  Almost over....two days of class, a fun weekend, and four finals to go until I hop a plane to warm, sunny beaches....*sigh* :)

I have been looking for a job for this summer.  The ideal job would be math research at the U, so that I can still teach at camp and be close to home without living at home.  However, I don't think this job exists.  If I can't find something math-like and intern-y, my backup plan is to move to a random iowan city with therese and work at hyvee together.  I <3 Hyvee!

This weekend is going to be so much fun.  We're baking for dance team, then having a big/little spa night and game night at upstairsville with a roomie big/little slumber party on Friday.  Saturday is dancing and bake sale at the football game, mary kay party at the house, and then the Nutcracker.  That's the best part - the Moscow Ballet is putting on the Nutcracker in Terre Haute.  Last weekend Big and Rich and Gretchen Wilson were here.  One of the very few advantages the Haute has to SuFu.

Saturday night in Vermillion is the state championship football game.  Riders vs. Knights.  Jason is playing long snap!!!  I'm super excited and super proud of him - can't wait to see the video!  Go Riders!

Okay, blog break over...sleepy time.

It's been an insanely long time since I've posted, but I felt the need to blog.  It's the weekend before 10th week and I don't want to do anything.  I slept in and I intend on watching TV and being completely lazy for the rest of the day.  Currently I'm watching A Little Princess, then the Au Pair marathon starts :) 

This quarter has sucked and I can't wait for it to be over.  I get to take two math classes next quarter, and both are stats classes!  I'm going to Florida over Thanksgiving break to see my family and get a little R and R in before more endless days and weeks of studying.

I want something to count down to again...anticipation makes life so much more fun.

So hungry...off in search of breakfast - at 5pm.

Apparently some people are unaware of the plan.  Here's how it goes:

Thursday - lunch with dad, falls, movie, miller family trivial pursuit action?

Friday - shopping, b-day dinner and cake and PRESENTS!

Saturday - packing, packing the car, repacking, repacking the car, repeat cycle, church

Sunday - drive to Terre Haute and move into the house with my roomies!

Then a week of pure bliss with no obligations.  Well, some Tridelta stuff, but I have SO much free time to do that in. 

My coworkers at DQ made me a goodbye card and Jess, Megan and I cried last night when they gave it to me.  Yes, I'm a girl.  And I don't get to work with anyone fun tonight on my last shift :(

New pics are up from camp - check out the website, there's a link on the left.

The countdown is at 19 hours and 35 minutes...I can't wait. :)

*love*

Okay, I apologize to all the blog stalkers out there who appreciate updates from me.  But don't get too excited because there won't be too many updates while I'm packing later this week.

So my life lately has consisted of work, both jobs.  I'm at dad's office and it's a very slow day today, which gives me the opportunity to get a lot of other stuff done, like updating my blog!  I have one more shift here and two more at DQ, in the next day and a half, and then NO MORE WORK!  It's the best news I've had all summer.  When I'm not working, I'm driving dad somewhere, shopping for back to school stuff, and seeing my SoDak people for the last time...so sad.  I got to hang out with five other Ambassadors from my graduating class last week, which was a blast.  And today I had lunch with my debate coach and caught up on all the team gossip.  Last night was the last work crew hang out after close and we were all so tired we practically fell asleep waiting for the creepy Fryn' Pan (kinda like a Steak and Shake in Indiana-speak) waiter to bring us our food.  I got a haircut this morning too and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow...really what all this means is that I need sleep.  Badly. 

The Happy August party from hell occurs Friday.  That's when my dad's family gets together to celebrate the four birthdays, two anniversaries, and back to school thing.  It sucks.  And as an added bonus, it's on my birthday this year.  I won't be home for dad's birthday or mom and dad's anniversary :( 

The single question is still up in the air, with more people questioning the status lately.  Curious...

Wish me luck on the downsizing thing.  I am making a huge effort to pack only what I need and to only fill the trunk of the car, which now has a CD player (I think...) for the fun road trip.

The countdown is now at 1 day, 19 hours...pathetic, yes, that it's now hourly, but darn it, I'm excited.  EEEEEE!

Okay, the pretend vacation is over :(  Back to work tomorrow and then soooo busy for the next two weeks.  I broke down and made a planner - I know, I'm anal, but I'm in demand!  I need some way to keep track of all my fans - aka mom, dad, jason...but whatev.  I have four DQ shifts this week, one dad work shift, an appointment, a lunch date with my bro, a diet coke date with my debate coach, a million things to do for Tridelta, packing.....AAHHHHHH! I'm going to go crazy.

The lake was super fun, pretty relaxing, but with all this family togetherness time, I'm getting excited to go back to school. 

Okay, since when did everyone start calling my cell phone on like a daily basis?  I seriously must have spent two hours last night and three tonight on the phone.  Wow.  It's fun to hear from people, but it totally adds up.  And I need to learn how to multitask better, because if you call me, chances are I'm being attacked by three people over AIM at the same time.  But I heart my friends, so it's worth it all :)

The "Am I single, am I not?" debate...I DON'T KNOW!  As silly as that sounds, we'll all just have to wait and see.  And just because the boys of summer are gone, that doesn't indicate necessarily that ALL boys are gone...some are school boys, some are constant.  And of course, your perception is limited to what I write in the blog, unless you've called me lately, and in that case, see above paragraph. 

Girl/guy drama lately...all I have to say is what the crap. 

And another little secret...what am I counting down to?

11 days :)

So I don't actually believe anyone reads my blog, so I wasn't going to update, but I had three update requests, so here it is:

Life at the Miller House:

Dad - driving everybody nuts because he's bored and wants to cook like he normally does, but this requires one of us to stand there and help him without making it obvious that we're baby-sitting to make sure he doesn't lift anything.  Also wants to go back to work next week, so one of us has to drive him - how is it I got voted for that job?

Mom - needs a vacation from dad, badly.  and work.  i vote we kick her off the island and send her away for awhile.  jason seconds that.

Jason - visiting his girlfriend in Wagner, SD (1 1/2 hours away).  mom and dad are freaking out about it, but jason's happy and crystal's cute :)

Me - counting down the days.  C-line came to visit and that was super fun.  We went shopping and to the lake to sunbathe and saw Spiderman 2, which was decent considering I never get to see anything so I have nothing to compare it to. 

Mom, Dad, and I are going to the lake for the weekend to relax a little, hopefully, before work starts again on Monday.  There's a new movie in Viborg, so that'll at least be fun. 

Okay, camp withdrawl totally still here.  But to tide everyone over and keep the faith until next year, check out these websites:

SD Ambassadors of Excellence   www.sdambassadors.org

Ambassador Photos www.ohthree.net

They will both be updated soon to include this summer - and until then, you can see me trying to be B Spears! 

A lot of people lately have been questioning my dating life or lack thereof.  Here's the scoop, and yes, this is vague on purpose ;)

Scott (aka DQ boy) - flirted with him at the beginning of the summer, had a chance to see him when I was at camp because he works admissions at the campus it's held at, but couldn't leave my kids to go party...haven't seen him since, but nothing will happen because it's the end of summer.

Kevin - saw him and talked to him at camp.  We're friends.

Camp fling - news to me if I had one. (?)

So obviously the boys of summer are gone, but the real question is, am I off the market or not?  Maybe I am or maybe even I don't know...this would be a good discussion for the comment section of the blog. 

14 days...this is beginning to be an excruciatingly long countdown.

Night y'all!

Okay, such a better mood now that my Beta roomie is here!  C-line's flight (yes, from the cities) got in this morning at 10 and she's staying until Thursday afternoon.  We are going to the lake tomorrow for the day and overnight - we would have gone today, but y'all know SoDak weather is unpredictible.  So we shopped in the rain and I bought way too much, but really, like that's anything new? 

Other than that, I'm thinking about packing and counting down the days to Indiana life now that camp is over.  Family time is nice, but I can't wait to go back to school.  Living at the house, new classes, my big across the street, road trips to see my big big, football season (for dance, of course), and frequenting New Res 1 ;) 

16 days...and fyi, i went to sleep with a smile on my face nights 17 and 18 - thanks for being a bright spot in my day :)

*lots of crafty glitter*
