a new job to celebrate the end of a great year!

what a great year it has been. And to end it, i finally get a new job. I am now working for REM which is part of the Mentor network. I would be working weekends for just a few hours and i would be working with people who need some assistance doing daily activities. The house where i would be working at, is only women and they are very self-sufficent and don't need a whole lot of health but they still do need it depending on what they are doing. But other houses through out bemidji have other people who needed pretty much everything done for them. Right now i am just going throu the training and i havent started working in the house, but i just started last week. We are lectured on confidentality and a few other things. They are paying for me to take CPR (which is nice because i was planning on taking it throu bsu, so i dropped it cause they are paying for it), and i have to take a few more "classes" for them before i can do a lot of things at the house. I am really excited to start working there.

I am all registered for spring at bsu, i hopefully am taking better classes and ones that wont stress me out as much as they did this past semester.

Mondays: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50), Lifespan development (3-4:50), ASL 2 (6-8:40)
Tuesdays: Health & Drugs in society (10-11:50), People/envionment education pers(4-5:15)
Wednesday: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50). Lifespan development (3-4:50)
Thursdays: People/envionment education pers (4-5:15)
Fridays: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50)

so thats all i have for this post

new post about nothing

yeah so nothing has been now with me, but i decided to post something just for the heck of it. I am still looking for a job and no place is really hiring anybody part time right now. and no not even seasonal (like for the holidays) jobs are out here in bemidji. soo i am really strongly disliking bemidji at the moment. and nobody seems to understand that no body is hiring, but ohhh well.

so a few weeks ago, me and my boyfriend went into the ditch with my truck. and yes we are all ok, some nice guy came and pulled us out. and thankfully it was my back end that went in, because if we would have went insideways my truck would have rolled or if we would have went in with the front end into the ditch my truck would no longer be working because we went into 2-3 feet of water.

soo yeah thats all that has been new wtih me, schools fine but im stressed. i am soo looking forward to the end of the school year which is almost here. so i guess i should get going i have nothing else to say for the moment

my new computer

It seems like all i do is sleep, work, go to school, homework and thats its. I have no life. But the good news is that next weekend is my last weekend working at ruttgers!!! yay!!!

I have been looking forward to buying my own computer that i didnt have to give back at the end of the school year. And i sent Annie money, since she was coming home for Ryan and Rachels wedding, to pick up my new computer for me at best buy. She was going to go friday before her classes started and thankfully she didnt. Alex thankfully went earlier in the week and picked it up for me!! and the one he got me was the second to last one and the guy behind him had got the last one. I like it so far, but it has some getting used too

Im gunna start job hunting tomorrow and hopefully i can get a good job that pays well and that will have hours that will work out for me. And my boss at ruttgers says that i can use her for a reference if i wanted too.

Sonney bought me flowers the other day for no reason. arnt they purty!!!!!

quick but boring post

school is going ok, not too exciting yet. my classes are either good or not so interesting. Here is my schedule:

Mondays: Intro to Psychology (11-11:50); Women and Philosophy (3-3:50)
Tuesdays: Astronomy (2-3:20); Public Speaking (4-4:50)
Wednesdays: Intro to Psychology (11-11:50); Women and Philosophy (3-3:50); American Sign Language 1 (6-9 pm)
Thursdays: Astronomy (2-3:20); Public Speaking (4-4:50)
Fridays: Intro to Psychology (11-11:50); Women and Philosophy (3-3:50)

Its kinda weird to say but i actually like my public speaking class its fun and its taught by an un-traditional teacher!!!! my american sign laungauge class is interesting and its fun but hard work remembering how to sign somethings. its nice because its only 1 night a week but it sucks cause its 6-9 pm!!!!!!! yuck

end of summers means school

So i had a good last week of my summer. I have a few good memories and now its time to go back to school :( . I went last thursday to go see free style moto-x at the bemidji speedway. And the guy who was the one doing the tricks was named "Cowboy" Kenny Bartram. who was really awesome, even thou it was windy he did manage to do some more daring tricks including a backflip wow.
the trick that cowboy kenny is doing here is called a whip.

"Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing." Haha i love that quote from Billy madison. Today was the first day of school for me. I already had one class today and i have to go back in a few hours for another. I was a bit nervous when i was walking there because it is way bigger then crookston was. and i barely had a clue were i was going but i managed to figure it out.

a goooooddd weekend

Sorry that it has been awhile but i have been busy working and not a lot interesting things have been going on. But i had this whole past weekend off, which i cant believe i scored that

One of my best friends got married saturday and it was a beautiful wedding. it was outside at deeper life bible camp in blackduck. The reception was as great, but my boyfriend and i had to serve punch and coffee at it and it got rather heckic at some points and we wound up running out of stuff at the end but it was still really good. And her cake was in the shape of a bell and it was hanging. The pic below is my friend Heather (who was the one who got married), me, and my friend LaRae.

Heather loves ducks, and rubber duckies. what can i say? she found bride and groom ones.

Mr. And Mrs. Cronemiller

On sunday i went tubing with my parents, their friends gary, brenda, mary, kevin, jake, lori, and my boyfriend sonney. it was a lot of fun and we say 2 turtles.

Me

Big snapper

Sonney and me

it was a great weekend

wow

so sorry but i have been busy and havent had much time to post anything lately. Im still working 5 days a week at ruttgers.

I spent my 4th of july weekend in some interesting but still fun ways. the 4th of july i spent with my parents and their friends gary and brenda. And we went out on the lake and just cruised. Then we went to the green mill and met up with my parents friends mary and kevin. and then we order some yummy pizza and watched the fire works which were very loud because we were right next to were they were setting them off from. We would have been out on the lake but we order the pizza and the lake was very packed. And the boat could only seat 5 and we also had chuck because it was his birthday.

After work on the fifth, i went to Cass Lake with my boyfriend and his family. It was a fun time. The lake was like very shallow, we went out in a paddle boat and we went out a far ways and it was still shallow. This pic was takin there wasnt it purty
So my best friend is getting married in a month and a day. I cant believe it. I might cry.

Ok so sorry i got confused because it is the summer and my brain isnt functioning. And 2 days from now is mine and sonney's anniversary.

sorry that its been a while

OK so sorry it took me forever to post a new blog, but i have been really busy this summer. I astarted my new job a few weeks ago, i am now working a Ruttger's Birchmont lodge. I am cleaning cabins there, and still not sure how i feel about working there, but it is only for the summer. So my new job has been keeping me pretty busy lately, and i sleep a lot too. Its hard work cleaning them cabins dont cha know....

ok so i do have a boyfriend now, and it will be our 4 month anniv. on the 10th. His name is Sonney (ok so it is his nickname, but everyone calls him that), and he is a voleenter firefighter and works for the DNR for a bit. He is a smoke chaser there (that is basically a firefighter).

well, i dont really have all that much to post, but give me some time. i gotta go before i fall asleep on my mom's computer

IM DONE!!!!!

ok so today is my last day at the university of minnesota crookston. I am transferring to Bemidji State University next fall. I just took my last final of the day, but i have to wait until 5:30-5:40ish to leave. I have to go to my composition class at 2 to listen to the last couple of presentations and then i have to work from 4-5:15. Then i just have to put the last few things in my truck and check out with my RA and then im outta here.

I have a job interview tomorrow at 10 at the day care center at the Gym Bin in bemidji. I hope that i get the job. And on monday i am registering for classes at bemidji state.

Well, i just thought that i would post a quick update and let everyone know how i am doing.

Holly ann

taking a quick break

oh alright, so i descided to take a quick break from homework to let everyone know how im doing. and i can sum it up in one word, and that word is: sdkjfiewroiwefroesajfskdfjosdifjew!! yep that about sums it up. haha just messing with you.

My truck now runs thanks to 3 very nice people who took time out of their busy schedules to help me out. It was my starter, and it cost me around $80 for the new one and yeah it took 4 days to get it in. 3 days to get it out and 1 day to get it in. The 3rd day, two other people came and helped me and Sonney out. And that day was the first day that people actually stopped and asked if we needed help, but we didnt need it, because we already had other people helping us. And wouldnt you think that if somebody's hood was up on their vehical, ment that they needed help, but nobody came and offered any. AARRGGG i am strongly starting to hate the red river valley. And the 3rd day we finally got the old starter out around 9 pm. and the next day it only took around 2 hours to get the new one in. so now everytime i start my truck, i just have to say "ooowwwwwww". haha

14 more days until im done with my first year of college. And these will be my last 14 days at the university of minnesota crookston. I will be transferring to bemidji state next year for personal reasons. I am highly stressed here and there is no place for me to get rid of my stress. And i am sick of having nothing to do here.

well i better get back to homework

KENNY!!!!! :(

Ok, so when i first got my 1993 Dodge Dakota i named him Kenny after my favorite country singer Kenny Chesney.

My truck, for the past few months has been having some problems starting. And now it barely starts. I cant really get my igintion to catch. I love my truck so much!!!!!!!

sorry sorry again

ALRIGHT IM SORRY!!! im sorry that it has been awail. im been super busy. I have had tons of homework and been working alot. I just got back from spring break, and i am wondering where the time went. I just got back and i already need another one. Escpecially after the past 2 days. somebody siphoned my gas yesterday and bio teacher didnt show up today! and a few other little thing like that happened. But i just have to remember 5 more weeks or 37 days. (yes i started counting down).

I have desided to transfer back to bemidji state next year for personal reason and also it will be better $$ wise in the end and they have like the best education program in the state. Three of the personal reasons are: im tired of being sick all the time, i always stressed, and i miss my family (my family are like my stress relievers also).

HAHA i swear that there are not any pepsi trucks in the grandfork/crookston area. but i must have saw the one and only. lol. just joking.
I want this truck!!!!!! My parents friend's gary and brenda, well actually gary got a new work truck. DODGE WITH A HEMI!!!!!! I almost stoled it. haha

Sorry that this wasnt the most interesting post, but yeah

only 360 more days

Only 360 more days until im 21!!! i thought that it was only 359 days, but i forgot about the lead-a-year thing. I went home this past weekend and had a great time. I got a bunch of movies and stuff from my family. Annie gave me a bag of skittles (which are gone now), the movie hope floats, and wild hearts cant be broken (i think that was the other movie that she gave me), and a window decal for my truck that says cowgirl up (shown below). And my parents gave me 3 western movies (even though my mom picks on me for my love of western style stuff and country music, she still buys me stuff like that, hehe). I got the first and second season of The Magnificent Seven, and 3:10 to Yuma. My parents just got back from mexico not this past weekend but the weekend before. I got a t-shirt and a very nice/comfortable cotton very thin zip up sweatshirt style shirt. and i got 3 necklaces. all very cute.
This past weekend, i got a new tattoo. Its says SISU and i just love how it turned out!!!

I also got my hair cut and colored this weekend by my cousin Melissa. I just love how it turned out, even thou it wasnt really what i wanted, i still love it, it was a happy accident.

I better go and do some homework

boredom

Yeah, ok! so i havent had much to do today, so i am extremely bored! I went to work and yeah i got done around the time that i usually do (1:30ish) and i did my homework. And i started a small project (that had nothing to do with school) and got bored with that, so i havent really done anything interesting and i think that i might be losing my mind. OK JUST KIDDING!!! lol. but seriously i have been so bored today.


OK so last sunday i was watching that last 30-45 minutes of You Got Mail. And i saw the part when tom hanks is trying to explain why he didnt show up for the date. and you know how he kept hitting the backspace button over and over again. every time i hit it i have to laugh. sorry for the randomness.

hehe cute huh?

haha, funny! jk

ok, so maybe i am just going crazy and need a vacation!

AAAAWWWWWW!!!!

OK, sorry. It was a really stressful couple of weeks. I had two major test today and a small one that my teacher suprised us with at the end of class.





LESS THEN TWO WEEKS!!! in less then two weeks, i am going to be 20!!!!!! and as you can probably tell, i am getting really excited. And so far all i can tell you is that on my birthday i will get up around 10 (because tuesdays are the only day of the week that i can sleep in) and go to work and serve the childern lunch (because that is was i do on tuesdays) from 11-12. And the i will go to my sociology class (basically the only class that i like this semester) from 12-1:15 and then i am done for the day!!!!

And then when i go home to celebrate my birthday with my family after they come back from mexico, i am going to get my hair cut just like Kellie Pickler. I love her hair style. My hair has been bugging me for a while now, but i have been letting it grow out, so that i can get it done like her's.

I found out today that tomorrow they need me to work in the morning from 8-10, so that means that tomorrow i will go strait from 8-1:15 and then have to go back from 3-5:15. i guess it well be good practice from later on, but i will promise you this: on my hour and 45 minute break, i will be total UNPRODUCTIVE (just like most of my breaks). And i think the term power nap comes to mind.

well, i should try and go to bed early, why might you ask? well, i'll tell you. I was falling asleep on my homework earlier. (SORRY MOM)

sorry, its been awhile

Hey sorry that its been awhile, i have been really really really busy with school, work study, my weekend job, and homework, and not to forget sleep.
Nothing really exciting has really happened to me lately, i dont really care for most of my classes yet. but i love my sociology class. i really like the teacher, he makes the class so interesting.

Its only like 3 weeks until my 20th b-day. i am getting really really excited. (sorry i am really really hyper right know). And something that i kind of want is to go to mexico with my parents. but they wont let me, becuase of school.

well i suppose that i should do some homework. i will update when i have more free time. bye

I'm Back Already? (another post)

ok, so i have some more time now. I just got done with my sencond day of my second semester, just 14 1/2 more weeks to go (or something like that). Classes are going ok, for the 5 classes that i have had in the past 2 days, they are all mostly full. And i am not a morning or people person, and my College Algebra class is at 8 am and it is packed. yeah!! (jk).

Last wednesday i went sledding with some friends and had a lot of fun. We had to go down the side otherwise you would hit some pretty big bumps. I wasnt so lucky some of the times. It was really cold out, so we went and had some hot chocolate afterwords.
For new years eve, i went to my friend LaRae's house. Here is my friend Emily and me before we all went home.

I bought my books and it wasnt pretty. My arm hurt the whole walk back to my dorm afterwards. I am just thankfull that crookston is just a small campus. $450!! yuck!! Here is a pic of all my books and notebooks. I put my razer right next to it to show you all what it looks like.

Well, i better go and do some homework, :( .

I'm Back Already? (quick post)

It just feels like i left just a few days ago, and now im already back. where did my vacation go?
These are some pics that i took on my way home tonight. The sunset was so beautiful!

My dad and me went out fishing friday and he caught a small walleye and a perch. and i also caught a small walleye. Saturday my dad took my grandpa out fishing and my grandpa caught a pretty nice walleye.

I start classes again tomorrow, and i am not really looking forward to it, i'll post more later
