I have missed two days

So, I have a good reason for missing yesterday. Yesterday we were in Denver seeing my uncle. We went to the Downtown Aquarium and out to lunch. Then, when we got back we had to load our PODS. We were up until 2 am loading the PODS. By that time I was too exhausted to write a blog. Tomorrow I am hanging with some friends that want to hang with me before I move. We are eating at Chipotle and then doing whatever I want to do. After we move, I will post pictures of the aquarium and tomorrow evening. Will have to find a place where I can link the album to my blog.

Sports

So we had the goodbye party today. I got to visit with several with my friends. Some of them want to hang out with me one last time. We played volleyball during the goodbye party. Then, this evening I played basketball with my sister and her friends. So, i was playing outside in the rain a lot today. I'm a bit disappointed that my best friend didn't come, but oh well. I got a couple late birthday gifts today, so that means that I have a little more to pack. Here I thought that I was all done packing. We are going to Denver tomorrow. Not completely sure what we are going to do other then eat. So that is about all for now. Hope that you guys have a good Memorial Day Weekend.

I missed one day

So I missed one day of my blog. I tried writing one on my phone, but my phone wouldn't send it though. Last night I had a couple friends over for a sleepover to celebrate my birthday late. We played lots of Wii and watched Spirited Away. Tomorrow, my family is having a good bye party for our friends and family before we leave. Monday we are going to see my uncle that we don't get to see much because he is homeless. Well, I am going to go get some sleep. I am exhausted after a long evening and day.

Titles are so difficult to come up with

So, I am having a hard time making up titles for these posts. So, I am pretty happy today. Nuggets won today. They are tied 1-1 in the series for finals. They just need to win 3 more games to go to the Championship. Next game is on Saturday. I still miss my favorite player that used to be on the Nuggets team. My favorite player is Earl Boykins, or as I call him Short Stuff. I was so excited when I found out that I was taller than a professional basketball player. This weekend is super busy for me. Friday night through Saturday morning, I am having a couple friends over to celebrate my birthday late. Saturday afternoon we are going out to eastern Colorado to visit some friends. Sunday my family is having a good bye lunch for all of our friends. After that my sister invited all of the girls in her class to spend the night. Monday we are going down to Denver to visit my uncle before we move. Tuesday is my mom's last day at work until after we move. Then we will be cleaning and finishing getting ready to move on May 31.

Oops

So, today I made some dumb mistakes. All dealing with our camper. First when we were getting our camper from my aunt's house I was trying to remove the pole stand so I was trying to kick it off. I hit my chin on the hitch, the hitch actually cut into my leg. Then I decided to hit the stand with my hands. I got the stand off, but I got a nice bruise on my hand from it. Then when I was helping my dad with directions for backing it up next to the driveway, I let it get too close to the neighbor's basketball hoop. So, that bent some of the metal on the bumper a little bit. Oh well, at least it wasn't bad. At first my dad was upset, but when he saw it he realized it wasn't that bad. We move in 11 days, got a little bit nervous about having to pull my grandma's car today when I was riding with my dad when he was pulling the camper. Of course with my grandma's car I should be able to see around it better then you can see around a camper. We took my Jeep for an oil change today and to have them look at the overdrive. The light hasn't been working for the overdrive. The place where we bought it said that the overdrive is working, but today the place that we took it to said that the switch isn't working. Also, we asked the place where we bought it from to do a transmission flush, but the fluid dark after 4 months so that tells us that they didn't do that. So both of those things are pretty pricy. Oh well.

12 days

12 more days until we move. It sort of drives me nuts that my family is counting down. I am going to miss my friends something awful, but I am getting excited for school. I am actually looking forward to school for once. Looking forward to the apartment, getting my own space, actually knowing my major, going to a 4 year university. I think a big reason why I am looking forward to school is because my break got taken over by moving. I am sick and tired of this moving stuff. Song of the day is wizard wrock again. This one is "I Believe in Nargles" by The Whomping Willows.

Knitting

So, I got distracted by watching ER and this blog is late. I finished my mom's mother's day gift today. It was a little late, but she didn't mind since it was handmade. So, I was thinking I should start posting pictures of what I knit. Then, you guys to see what I can make and maybe get ideas for gifts for people. I will do the pictures after we move, and after we find my nice camera. So, since I am pretty much done packing my family wants me to help pack the rest of the house. Should be a fun week right lol. Well, now for the song of the day. This song is "Without You (I'm Not Alright)" by Article One. THis is my new favorite band.

Goodbye Furniture

All of my furniture is packed. I have nothing besides some things I need before and during the move. Even my mattress is gone. I will either be sleeping on the floor or couch until we move. My sister's bed also got packed, but she doesn't sleep in her bad. She is still a bit scared to sleep by herself a lot. Moonlight bowling was fun, I didn't get many pictures, but my friend got a few. I will post some soon. Right now I just feel like relaxing and watching ER. Here is the song of the day. It is "7 Potters" by the Remus Lupins. In the music video is Frak and John Noe from Pottercast. Frak is one of the Potters, John is one of the death eaters. Enjoy.

Bowling

So, I am posting this earlier than usual. I am going to my friend's birthday tonight, so I won't be here to post later. She is doing moonlight bowling. Should be fun! Look for pictures to come. I barely have anything left in my room to pack, but still lots in it. We will be moving my desk, dresser, my great-grandpa's military trunk, cube storage thing, mattress, and prom dresses and a few other clothes. By the 26th, my room will be completely empty. We are going to be sleeping in our camper then. Then, 4 days after that we will be on our way to Idaho. We hope to get to Idaho on June 2 or 3. Well, now is time for the daily song. I think for a while I will switch between regular songs, and wizard rock songs. So today my sister was watching Holes, and I was reminded of one of my favorite songs. "If Only" by Fiction Plane.

ER

My aunt gave me my birthday present today. She got me some sudoku puzzles, and ER Season 1 on DVD. I am so excited I have been wanting these for awhile. It will take me a while to get them all with how much they cost. Got loan/financial aid information sent of to Gonzaga. Packed more of my room. It is almost empty. Should be interesting when I have a couple friends over next weekend for a sleepover, when I won't have a bed. Trying to decide if I would rather watch ER tonight or Monster. They are both really good. I'm in the middle of the Monster series, I would be starting ER out fresh. Maybe I will watch some of both. And the song of the day is "The Bravest Man I Ever Knew" by Ministry of Magic. It is a wizard rock song.

Yellow Submarine

Well, once again it was a pretty boring day. I slept in again. Worked on packing my room some more. In 8 days I won't have a bed until after we move. I am almost done with my mom's mother's day gift finally. I will post a picture once I get it done. I got some more yarn today so that I can make a baby blanket for my cousin's baby. So, I was thinking for my blog I am going to try to post a song everyday that I am currently listening too. So presently, I have been listening to Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. So here is a video of it for you peeps.
Hope that you guys have a great day.

Monster

Well, I am so glad it is summer. I have been watching the anime series Monster. It is a very good series, but will cause you to do some thinking. After that I am going to watch Death Note. I am so thankful that I have a friend that was willing to put a bunch of anime on my external hard drive. We get most of our anime from http://www.realitylapse.com/. I had to babysit again today. I brought Spirited Away to show the kids. They seemed to enjoy it. My dad and I have to start getting busy packing the last pod. We will only have it for 8 more days. We move May 31. Getting very excited, but also nervous about towing my grandma's car. I don't have much going on in my life right now. So these are probably getting pretty boring, hopefully they will get more exciting soon.

2 grades received

Well, I got my Physics grade back today. I did not do so well on the mid-term, of course I didn't think I would since I didn't get to finish it. However, I got a C in the class. A bit upset that my grade got lowered so much, but at least I passed the class. Not much happened today. I played some Wii after sleeping in. I had to babysit tonight, and I have to babysit tomorrow night as well. Enjoying watching my anime that I haven't had time for. Right now I am watching the series called monster. Nothing much else to say. Hope you guys have a good day.

All done

I am all done with school until September 1. I got a very high C on my Chemistry final, and my overall grade in Chemistry is a B. My philosophy final went pretty well, I wrote down what I was going to write last night and it paid off. My physics final did not go as well. Firstly, my teacher started the test 20 min late. Then, he would not give us extra time like he did on the other tests. Only 3 out of 14 people finished the test. Hopefully, he will curve the grade or notice that most people did not finish. I was so excited when I saw my Chemistry grade, I thought for sure I would be getting a B. I am so glad that I am done with school for a while. Now, if only I could get over laryngitis.

Today, I got a thing in the mail from Gonzaga. It is about an outdoor adventure for new students going to school there. It is a three day camping trip. One day is water rafting, another mountain biking, and another hiking. It sounds like lots of fun. Part of me wants to go, and part of me isn't sure with me having asthma. Of course I would have my inhaler. However the 3 day trip costs $375, but my family is willing to pay for me to go.

Now, that is the break, I can finally watch more anime. I cannot wait to watch these, I have been wanting to for so long. Well, that is about all for today. Good luck everybody that still has finals.

2 more finals

So I almost forgot about updating this. My throat doesn't hurt anymore unless I cough or swallow which i do a lot of. My voice is going in and out so I definitely think I have laryngitis again. So sick and tired of this. Plus I think I have a cold as well. Just love it when I am sick with two different things at the same time. I have two finals today, back to back. First I have Philosophy then after 45 min of extra studying I have Physics. Then, I will be done with school for a little over 3 months since my next semester at Gonzaga won't start until September 1. Oh its like I'm going to Hogwarts because Hogwarts starts on September 1st. Here I come House of Hufflepuff. Yeah, if only that was real. So yeah, I may be talkin to some people like tomorrow about stuff because of a certain challenge I have to do that I will talk in detail with these certain people. Been listening to lots and lots of music. To quote my best friend, "Music is life" and "Music is what emotions sound like." Whenever I am doing homework or anything on my computer you can be certain that I am listening to music. Can never have too much music. Which makes me think, I have been thinking about getting the 16 GB iPod Touch, but is that really enough memory. I don't want to spend as much money as they want for the 32 GB iPod Touch. So music lovers is the 16GB iPod Touch big enough or should I get the 120 GB iPod Classic. I really like the touch screen but I don't want to run of room anytime soon. Of course right now I only have 5 GB of music and by the time I run out of memory for music they will come out with something bigger and better. So I am still thinking that the 16 GB iPod Touch will suffice. Let me know what you guys think. Please. DFTBA!!!!!!! (for non-nerdfighters, DFTBA means don't forget to be awesome) DFTBA song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0VnI1dI7zw

Still Sick

This one will be short again. I am feeling terrible still. Throat is still sore. I am very tired of having a sore throat for 3 days now. I have no clue what to talk about. Hmm. I was very lazy and unproductive today. That is because I am not feeling good. I did not do any homework or studying. I spent the day watching tv and laying on the couch. I did babysit and tried to work on homework but did not feel like it, so I just laid on the couch and watched tv with the kids. Still listening to The Beatles and getting their music. Counting down to the move. 3 more weeks. That is probably good for today with how I am feeling and such.

Tired and sick

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Well mainly just sick and tired of laryngitis and being tired. I am about ready to fall asleep here at the computer it is only almost 10 pm. I am hating laryngitis so much, my throat is so sore. I just wanted to stay in bed today. If it was just a regular day I would have, but I had a final in Speech. So now 2 finals down and 2 to go.

I don't know what else to say today. I am sick and tired and stressed. I have two back to back finals on Monday. So, my weekend will be spent studying and finishing up homework that is due Monday. Still waiting for my first comment on this. Still wanting suggestions for good ringtones. Good night peeps.

1 final down

Well this is a bit late. I had my first final today. It was for Chemistry. I understood the stuff this half of the semester better than last semester. I feel like I did good, which scares me cause usually when I think I did good I end up doing bad on my test. Today, I have my speech final. We have not had a test in speech, so I don't know what to expect.

My sister's spring concert was last night. I recorded the songs that she was singing. They are on my facebook and on my youtube. You facebook peeps already know my account and your way around it. My youtube is amanakastegman. http://www.youtube.com/user/AmanakaStegman. There are 5 videos. While I was at the concert the band played Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. So I have been listening to The Beatles all night, I forgot how much I like their music. I can't really think of anything else right now. I am dead tired and going to bed.

3 more days

The semester is coming to a close. My first final is tomorrow, it is for my online class so I don't have to take it at a certain time tomorrow. I will probably take it early afternoon because my sister has her spring concert tomorrow evening. I am hoping that I do well on this final, if I do really well I should be able to raise my grade up to a B.

I am getting a bit nervous for the move because I will be towing my grandma's car behind my vehicle. I have never towed a vehicle before. I have been towed, but whenever we have towed something I just rode someone else did the driving.

Also, one of my ex-boyfriends that I have stayed good friends with has found someone that he likes and they have started dating. I have been single for so long, and everytime I am with a friend that has someone else or talk with them it just makes me want a boyfriend more and more. I am trying so hard for my friend from Germany to get over here, so far I have lasted. If I have lasted this long I think I can last a little bit longer.

I suppose I better get to studying for this final. Hopefully it will be better than the midterm, I seem to understand the material better.

Does BFF really mean forever?

So today had not been a productive day, quite an interesting day. I got some homework done. I worked outside until it got too windy. I went to the store to buy the new Newsboys CD In The Hands Of God. It is all right, but I like the previous CD, Go better. Another thing happened today that I won't go into full detail but lets just say that there comes a time when you realize friendships don't last forever even when it is your best friend. But that makes me wonder is it such a good idea to have best friends or is better just to have close friends. Just when you think you know someone really well things change. It sort of makes me feel like I shouldn't get close to people, it feels like it happens every time. I still have to write that Philosophy paper. I have to get it done today if I want to have a chance at getting an A in the class after the final. Tomorrow night will strictly be studying for my Chemistry final. I hope that the testing center won't be completely full since Thursday is the last day I can take my Chemistry final. I have to do well on that final to keep my C. I am not proud of my grade, but Chemistry is hard if you are doing it online. Well, I suppose I better write that paper that is due in the morning. The next few days my posts may not be that large. Hope you guys had a good day.

One Missed Call

Well, you are probably wondering why I have this title. I didn't really enjoy the movie. It is the only horror movie that has freaked me out. I don't know why, I have watched horror movies that are scarier. Maybe the fact that I use my phone so much and that in the movie people were receiving voicemails from themselves in the future. That is actually a bit freaky if you think about it. Anyways, I just got a couple ringtones. They are both ringtones from One Missed Call, but one is the Japanese version and the other is the American version. Japanese version of the ringtone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrKkGeY0jXs. American version of the ringtone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0YVBBmhrAo. When I watched the movie (American) the ringtone freaked me out whenever I heard it. I have no clue why I decided to get the ringtone. Anyway i love ringtones so if you have any good ideas for ringtones, please leave them in a comment. Anybody can leave comments, you don't have to be a user.
What else is up in my life? Well I had lunch with my good friend Mari. First time I have not been able to finish my food at Fazoli's. Mailed a package to my friend in Germany. Had some Cold Stone, oh I love that place. Most of my room is packed now. My desk and my dresser is gone. Just mainly have stuff in my closet and a small set of shelves left. I got all of Chemistry homework done for the semester. All that I have left now is my Chemistry lab on Wednesday and my Chemistry final which I will take Thursday. Friday I have my Speech final because my teacher doesn't want to come into school on Monday. Then my last two finals are on Monday, I have Philosophy and Physics that day.
Nothing else special today. Tomorrow I will be doing homework and studying. So glad the semester is almost over. I am ready to move, get away from some certain things that have been happening lately. Plus I am really looking forward to my new school.

Blah

So, this daily blog may be difficult depending on if I can think of anything to write. I could talk about my day, but that would get boring. Plus right now it would just be talking packing stuff for moving and homework. Such an exciting day. Well, I get to see two friends this week. Tomorrow I am having lunch and ice cream with my good friend Mari. Then, Friday I am having Starbucks with my high school English teacher. School is coming to a close, and I am getting really stressed by it. I have a speech tomorrow. I have a philosophy paper due that I will be turning in late. I have a Chemistry final I have to take by Thursday. My speech final is Friday because my teacher doesn't want to come into school on Monday. Then on the 11th I have my Philosophy and Physics finals. I think this is my first semester where I have finals in all of my classes. Well, that is about all for today so I can get back to my Physics homework. See you guys tomorrow.

Oh for all of you Lord of the Rings fans, here is an awesome fan made movie. Hope you guys enjoy.

Fall 2009 at Gonzaga

I am getting really excited for the fall semester. First semester at a real university, this is like my dream school. Great sports to watch, wonderful community, and not far from home. Sure, I will have a hectic schedule with 17 credit hours and working. I get to live in an apartment for the school year. I don't get to take any chemistry classes this semester but I will in the spring. I am hoping to take classes over the summer to make up for time that I have lost with changing majors and such. I am excited that I am a Chemistry major, and that I know for sure what I am doing. I am hoping that I will get a job in Antarctica or Greenland after I graduate, then I will teach. Just a little way to build up my money. Well, that is about all for now. I will try to do this on a fairly regular basis as this will be replacing my facebook account eventually.
