Happy Memorial Day

Today was Memorial Day, and I want to thank my father, uncle, pawpaw (who has already gone to be with the Lord), and all the others who have,and still are, serving for our country!  This morning me mom dad, and Blake drove to Huntsville, and dropped Blake off at the airport. He had to travel to Orlando for some meetings with his job.  He looked so cute with his little luggage, today! lol I wish I could have went with him because I am in need of a vacation, but sadly I begin my four week class for June tomorrow. 

I hope he has fun, and has a safe trip!

Last week finished up my Maymester class which was a blessing because a girl can only handle so much information about American Indians!  Friday Blake, and I joined our friends Chase, and Ashley for her birthday dinner at Fuji Japanese Grill in Oxford.  I could kick myself for not taking any photos!  I even carried my camera in with intentions to take some pictures.  We had fun, but did not have a very good cook.  The one we had cook in front of us was okay, but we realized he didn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as the others when the one beside us caught his hand on fire (on purpose), and threw fire rings onto his hat! We still had great food, and enjoyed eating with Chase, and Ashley.  Saturday was "Return to Sardis City" day, and despite the weather the crowd was decent.  Blake, and I ran the 5k together, and we both finished I am proud to say even though he smoked me!  He finished around 20 something minutes, and I finished at 34 something minutes.  My cousin Doug who I sometimes refer to as "uncle Doug" is running for Etowah County Board of Education in November, and he was there campaigning so I wore my Vote Doug Sherrod shirt around and helped campaign!  Then the rain decided to ruin the event, and all of the vendors, and events closed around 3:00.  I really hope they decided to do the event again next year minus the rain!

Almost at the finish line!

Vote Doug Sherrod!

Blake headed for the finish line!

I mentioned in the previous post that I had started a May-mester class as soon as Spring semester finished up, and I'm beginning to wonder if that was such a great idea! My minor is History, so I try to choose classes that I think will be interesting, and thought this class entitled North American Indian's would be pretty cool, but I was mistaken. I have to keep myself awake,and try to take notes! Since it is a May-mester we are learning the whole curriculum in four weeks instead of three months like in a normal semester, and it's four days a week for 2 1/2 hours ahh, but I only have 13 days left, and then I begin two June classes. I really dislike not having my Summers off, but if I plan to finish up next Spring I have to. Here is a little drawing I did (the cover of my book) during class one day,at least I'm drawing something relevant to the class so that makes it okay right?


If you are a Communication major you have to do two media workshops before you can do your internship. Basically that means you must work two semesters for either the radio, television, or newspaper at JSU. For my schedule it was easier for me to work for the radio. I worked Spring semester for them, and now Summer, so as soon as I finish Summer I will have completed my required media workshops, and will be able to do my internship at a new station in the Spring, since my Fall schedule will be full. I work on rotation as a d.j. at the radio on Thursdays from 2-4. I am majoring in television, and you would think it would be easier to speak into the microphone on the radio with no cameras around, but I thought wrong. I get sooo nervous on the radio, and am very glad I'm going into television ha! You can listen to our campus radio station any time at: http://wljs919fm.ning.com/ So check us out sometime!

"Catching Up"

I realize it has been January since I have written an entry, so it's time to update! Much has gone on within the last few months: Spring Break, , New dog, A-Day, Spring semester classes are over, and Summer classes have begun. That sums up most of it!

Spring Break which was in March, Nikki, Breonna,my aunt and I went to Panama City. It was fun, but cold!

I finally got a new dog! If you know me you know I love dogs! His name is Bear, and he is close to a year old. He is the sweetest thing, and loves any attention you give him!

Blake, Nikki, and I attended this years Annual A-Day game at Alabama this year, it was beautiful weather. I cannot wait until football season begins!
