Yesterday I had good intentions of writing a note about the change that happened in America. I thought that I should at least say something about the change that took place, but I can’t think of anything interesting. So I will tell you about how I watched the Inauguration.

Sitting in front of the t.v. with my roommate eating Hot&Spicy Cheez-Its. As soon as he fumbled up his oath of office I left to go eat some lunch. And that was that. I won’t say what I think about this new president, I won’t say if I voted for him or not, I won’t say what I think about his policy on foreign affairs, health-care, or education. I won’t say anything. But if I did say something that would be okay, because this is my blog and my voice and every American is entitle to his or her own voice.

Politics really isn’t my thing, so don’t get your hopes up about hearing about politics on this blog!

Things are slowly coming together for the move over to a standard wordpress account. Classes, a thesis, meetings, and crap like that are getting in the way. I wish that I could just sit down and play with my new applications all day long, but I can’t.

I will share this though, along with working out the knots on my website, I have learned of a social media browser. Yes, I am sure that I might be the last person on earth to hear of such browser, but it is out there and I am in the process of putting my touches on it. It is called Flock and can be downloaded for free at flock.com. Am I going to review it? No. I am leaving that to the true experts over at Macworld. Yes they are the experts.

I found the finding of this browser rather ironic. The thesis that I am currently writing is about social media. Therefore I find it only fair that I use the latest and greatest technology surrounding the field of social media. Thus Flock. I hope that it doesn’t disappoint. But like all new applications, some days you hate them and the next you love them. Currently I am still trying to figure out how I feel about application, seeing as how I only downloaded it seconds ago.  I shall keep you updated!

And in case you were wondering…I know that I am a geek!

You know it is cold outside when your head and ears need to be covered at the same time. I am seriously considering looking for a job in warmer climates. I just can’t take the cold. I figure I can go work some where warm, thaw out and then head back East for a little while, then go back to some where warm.

The weather really affects how you feel, act, and how much work you accomplish. Plus I just hate wearing big bulky clothing items. I am a fan of sun dresses and board shorts, tanks tops, and flip flops. All of this winter garb, it is well…not for me. It has been fun, but I will be ready to peace out of here in May.

It is amazing how a person can change the way they feel about certain things. For example, my last, first day of classes was on Monday. Did I make a big deal out of it? No. Did I have a special outfit? No. But I did for the first day of class in September. Go figure.

When I started thinking about why I didn’t make a big deal out of it, it hit me. I am growing up and have better things to worry about now. On top of that realization there were several other contributing factors.

I was on serious West coast time and my body was rebelling against me the entire day. Normally I would pick out an out fit and take pictures. Nope. I crawled out of bed 30 mins before my class started, threw my hair up into, what I can only recall as a bun mess on top of my head. Put on my UC Davis sweat shirt and Crocs. It also didn’t help that I only had one class, and that was silk screening so it really isn’t something you want to dress up for. But still, it came and went without any sort of added excitement.

I suppose this is when I have reached the cross road in my life were some things are just not as important as they use to be. When do people really like reaching crossroads in their lives? I know that I don’t but I have to embrace them when I come across them or I will never move on with my life.

Last night I got back to school and balled like a baby and now I am fine. Don’t let me worry you, I am not the only one who does that. There were several conversations around campus that involved sobbing all night. But now we are all fine, we are back to classes, with homework to accomplish and a thesis or two or three to write.

This semester might seem pretty easy, but alas is anything I do ever really easy? I am involved in all kinds of crap that requires meetings. Who plans so many meetings? And since when is it cool to “plan a meeting”. I think I spend more time in meetings through out a given week then I do the classroom. Am I in college or at a job? Some days the line is very blurred.

Update for my website coming soon. I will be moving where I blog. The website will stay the same, the only change will be where I post my blog. I think that it is time for a change and I like the set up better at a regular Wordpress, rather than going through 1&1 Hosting. I still have a few kinks to work out, but I am hoping by the end of the month I will be moved over. I don’t plan on taking everything that I have written here over there, but don’t worry, I will link everything together and give you very good directions!

As for coming back to school, I know how I feel when I get back here, and I know that once I get through the first week, it is all down hill from here!

Tomorrow morning at a very early hour in the morning I leave for school. Yes I am looking forward to going to class and seeing my friends there, but the actual leaving is the hard part.

Classes are going to be a challenge, I am sure that being a senior will hit and I won’t want to do any work. But none the less I will prevail and get all of my work done. But having to go to class and getting homework done, I am just not ready for. Yes I am complaining, this is a blog, I am allowed.

Tomorrow is my last day at home. I hate that day, I have this eeky feeling from the moment I wake up and it totally sucks. I walk around the house thinking, this will be the last time I do this or that and I have always thought that way. I don’t mind going back to school and I will be fine when I get there, getting there is key. Once I get back to school and go to class I will be fine. But saying good bye to everyone is the killer. Tonight I said good bye to a great friend who I will text and talk to as often as I do to my parents, but I had to say good bye and we are both terrible at good byes. Still it is hard and sucks, but it is part of life and I have to grow up and stop complaining about the fact.

Mom and I are going to the movies in the morning and then I will have to pack up and get my room back in order. Walk Buddy and spend some bonding time with the brown couch. I will also sleep in for as long as I can and soak up the feeling of my own bed that I will miss so much. So now before I kill my keyboard with tears, I shall go and probably the next time I blog will be from school.

Not much has changed from my last post, still in my PJ’s (although I have gotten dressed since my last post) but instead of the couch I am blogging from my desk in my room. Depending on how long this takes to write I may end up posting from various points in the house.

Since I have had a blog, every January 1st I write a Year in Review type post. The idea isn’t original, many bloggers do the same things, I gathered the idea from a fellow LnHS grad. This year I do intend on including pictures with each month of synopsis. Sit back and enjoy the past year of my life in a blog post!

January

Rang in 2008 with the Webers as normal. It has changed from past years, no little kids, most of the party goers can drink, legally, and the conversations focus on colleges and careers. There were many events to look forward to in 2008, Hannah’s graduation being just one of them. Looked forward to going back to school, having a better roommate makes it so much easier to go back.

February

Long cold month of school and gearing up for Relay For Life. Going to work at the gallery three days a week. End of the month was spring break, which overlapped into March.

March

Spent Spring break in Lexington, VA with Monica and her family. Went shopping and worked on school work, also made Bananas Fosters. March was also the Relay For Life event, it went really great and we raised a lotof money! It was a very long 24hrs, but it was totally worth all the hard work!

April

This month was the last few weeks of classes for the semester. Finals felt like they were never going to arrive. Was inducted to OKD and flew home for the summer. Not a very exciting month.

May

This month I turned 21 and had a blast! Started the day off with orange juice and champagne, then Daddy cooked tacos and celebrated my birthday! At the end of the month Hannah graduated from high school.

June

Pretty slow month here, started my internship at Assembly Women Runners Office. Realized that riding my bike to work was a lot more fun then driving. Did some house-sitting for Kiley again, went to Santa Monica for a day. That was pretty much all that went on, not a particularly exciting month.

July

Monica flew in from VA and we had a great time. Went to Santa Monica, swam in the pool for a day, went down to Hollywood, and loved showing her Cali! This month was also Hannah’s graduation party. Again I house-sat for Kiley and had a fun time hanging out at his place.

August

Flew back to MBC to start my Senior year of college! It was a very exciting and scary time. Daddy accepted a job in Alaska and the Tyndall’s made the decision to move to AK!

September

Hannah started her freshman year at UC Davis. On the first of the month classes started for me.

October

Wore my cap and gown for the first time for MBC’s Founders Day celebration. Traveled to Annapolis MD for Fall break and stayed with neighbors from CA. Enjoyed a Halloween party at the Alum House.

November

Went to Philly for Turkey day and enjoyed some very yummy CA wine.

December

Flew home to CA for a very exciting Christmas. Daddy and Hannah came home as well. Attended Mandi’s wedding, snow in Lancaster, and much more holiday fun!

Christmas was wonderful, it was great to open presents with all of my family. Daddy was very good at getting everyone something from Alaska. But it seems that after dinner I had no energy. It may have been the large amount of food or just being generally tired from preparing for the day. Yesterday I spent all day in my PJ’s watching House on USA and now I am currently sitting in my PJ’s watching NCIS. You see, I take being on vacation very seriously, as in not doing anything. Maybe I should go and brush my teeth. Maybe at a commercial break…
