Well...it was a good weekend.  I feel like I was all over the place, but it was a good one.  I went home on Saturday and saw some friends that I hadn't seen in forever!  Then, I had to decorate for a pi phi party for the new members today, so I had to rush back to waco and race around trying to make the room "pink."  I blew up so many pink balloons I almost passed out twice, but hey... got it done!  ...Oh and I definitely walked 7 miles tonight with my friend, Malia.  We hadn't talked in forever so it took 3 times around the bear trail to catch up!    ...and yup...you guessed it....blisters!!  (sniffle)   Oh well...tomorrow is Monday...not just any Monday though....VALENTINE'S DAY!!!  Yikes.  It's another one of those days that throws it in your face that you're single.  Another day of giddy girls getting gorgeous flowers from their boyfriends...though at baylor I'm not so sure that flowers are as popular rings seem to be.  I mean....how many people do I know who are engaged!?!?  Hey...it's ok though.  Single isn't always a bad thing..........just on Valentine's Day!  haha   Oh well....  

well...school has officially started...which means...I'm officially behind.  How is it that I am able to get behind within 2 or 3 weeks of being in class?  Now I'm probably going to be spending the rest of the semester trying to catch up.  Oh well...last one.  ...til grad school!  haha  Anyway...it continues.

OK...so now the guys.  (Just a warning...this may sound a little rigid.)  I will NOT put up with any more crap from you boys who call yourself men!  I don't care how old you are; I don't care that you have "potential" to be a nice guy; I don't care how many things you think you can "fix."  Why don't you ACT your age, BE a nice guy, and FIX your own crap!!  I'm not a toy...so stop trying to buy me, stop thinking you can win me, and quit playing games!!  I'm serious...if you want a toy...GET SOME BALLS!! 

OK...(deep breath).  That's enough of that.  Ummm...so I guess I'll do homework now.  (sniffle)  Lots o' love!  ~Jessica

Whoa...ok....so I definitely haven't written on this thing in about 7 months.   Cool.  Well...let's see...a lot has happened since June.  I went on an incredible mission trip to England with a lot of cool people, but I can't even begin to touch on how awesome that trip was, so I might write about it later.  I completed my 7th semester at Baylor (excluding summer sessions).  It was a pretty rough one.  One of my classes was especially hard (think upper-level neuroscience), and I managed to dig myself into a really deep hole for the final.  I had to get an 80 on it to get credit for the course....(drum roll please)...I got an 81 (giggles)!!  That cumulative final that was a beast!  haha  Sorry...it just still makes me laugh, because it's absolutely ridiculous... 

Anyway...in May I will be graduating...yes, you heard right...graduating from this fine school called Baylor University.  Don't ask me what I'm doing after I graduate.  I don't know...but I WILL eliminate some possibilities for you.   I, unlike a large percentage of senior baylor girls, am NOT engaged!  (For those of you who are, I am happy for you and pray blessings for you and your fiance, but I am NOT to that place in life yet.)  I'm not even "seriously dating" anyone.  It's not always fun, I'll admit, but I know that's something God doesn't have for me yet.  Sooo...unless you are a christian guy who loves God and will genuinely love me and treat me with the respect that a daughter of God deserves ...you know my answer.  I'm not going to listen to manipulation... I've heard it all; I'm not dumb, and just to clarify... if you try to hurt me or lie, I have guy friends... I'm not kidding.  I'm so done with crap.  So don't mess with me.    I'm serious.  (replace halo)   

Having said that...ummm....I am still working at The Advocacy Center for Crime Victims' and Children as the Crisis Hotline Coordinator (longest job title ever).  It's funny though, because often times when I tell people where I work... they say "oh ok" but you can tell they are thinking under their breath "what?  " ...oh well...I would too if I didn't work there.  You might ask... Is it a hard job?  Yes.  Rewarding job?  Yes.  Long-term job?  No.  Crisis is hard, but it's great experience if I want to be a christian counselor some day.  (Commercial break)-- You should consider volunteering as a crisis hotline advocate! 

Alright...well...if you were wondering what has been going on with me.  There's a brief summary.  I am afraid I haven't done the last 7 months justice, but I'll write more as I think of more to say...  Because this is fun.  Yay.  Ok...have a good weekend.

Have you ever had one of those days that was so bad it was comical? ....umm...yeah.

I think what toped it off for me today was the flood that just hit Waco during my 2 Greek quizzes combined with a white tshirt and a nice long walk to my car.    Gotta love Texas weather! 

Wouldn't it be nice if you could accomplish things while you sleep?  ...I don't like it that right now I'm busier than during the regular school year.  Granted, that's why they call it "Baylor University Summer Intensive Greek Institute."  Still....with working and trying to be somewhat social and deal with stuff that's going on...it gets to be overwhelming sometimes....ok...all the time.  Anyway...I'm trying to keep things in order.  I still don't know when my roommate is coming back...I hope she gets back before I go to England in 15 days!!    Well, I'm going to TRY and relax even though I have 5 tests in one week and too much other stuff going on.   Oh well...it continues...
