Well another week has gone by in school. As a college student I look forward to the weekend as much as a high school student. This week was quite hectic, so I didn't get to write as much as I wanted to. The newest Student Organization had that I joined has its first big recruitment push. It went extremely well. We ended up doubling the members that we already had. The Student Alumni Association is well on its way to becoming a very powerful organization on campus.

I also had an RHA meeting that went very well. It went off without a hitch and I feel the members had a very fun time and maybe this will keep our numbers up at every meeting. The Director of housing was there and he seemed very pleased.

I also play in a couple soccer leagues. this week I had a grand total of 3 games. Going from no games to 3 in one week has basically put my body through hell. Its fun but at the same time I feel like death is constantly around the corner.

A buddy of mine also has a blog and had me thinking about my own personal happiness. right now with all the student organizations and sports and classes that I currently have I feel a bit stretched, but at the same time I feel great. I love constantly having something to do, or play. I love having programs and meeting to go to. I love feeling important on campus and with the 3 main organizations I am in I feel just that. I LOVE IT.

Til Next Time.

Today was a rather uneventful MLK Jr. day. I didn't do much. I did get out on the fresh powder for the first time this year... It was amazing. The only thing that sucks about it that there were a ton of people out today because many people didn't have to work. Then I came home and passed out. It was a good day all in all. I also got my dog back from the boarding facility. He was happy to see me but probably not as happy as I was to see him. He is my little cuddle buddy.

Good night all.

Well today was the big day. Today was the actual day of the burial. We actually saw them put her into the ground but we did all the other talking inside the church because it was raining. The funeral home that we went through was very kind to our family. They said anything that we may ever need to just call and they would help. It was a quick little service and then a quick little disgusting meal.

It was okay because we put her in with the rest of her family. The plot that she was put on was the family plot. My grandma's parents and grandparents and her whole family along with my grandpa, and his brothers and sisters along with his parents. It was cool to see all the history there. I may want to come down later in life when I have kids and show them what my family was like and who lived where. As it stands however I really don't ever want to come back to Arkansas. It is dull and there is nothing where I am.. although they do have a Wal-Mart.

Arkansas

Well today I traveled down to Arkansas to bury my grandmother. This is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. As I stated before I lived with her for a year so I was very close to her.

I don't know where I am going to find the strength to do this. My family is with me but they have their own thoughts and feelings.

We bury her tomorrow and we leave on Sunday going back home. Monday is MLK day so I have the day off. I am going snowboarding... if we still have snow.

Until Next Time.

Lady GaGa

Well on a new happy note I wanted to share something else with you. Last night I was able to go see Lady GaGa live in concert. It was the most amazing concert I have ever seen in my life... next to the spice girls. The graphics and the special effect and lighting was insane. The way she talked to us like we were all sitting next to her was also amazing. Before she was able to get onstage, which did take almost 45 minutes, there were people dancing and to Michael Jackson. No not on stage but in the audience. The lights were still on and people were just going at it. A man that worked there was gettin down. Some old lady who had to be about 60 in a onesie type zebra striped outfit was dancing... It was amazing. If anyone here is ever given the chance SEE HER!

Momo

I guess lately I have been feeling a little out of. My grandmother passed away on Dec. 31 at about 8am. She was 82 years old. She was in chemotherapy for uterine cancer. Basically one of the medicines she was on shut down her kidneys and from there, the rest of her body shut down. We found out about the cancer in October and by the end of December she was gone.

I was extremely close to my Grandma. I lived with her for a full year when my grandfather passed away when I was in high school. I got to know a side of her that the rest of my family didn’t get to see. I was able to talk to her and she would always encourage me to do what I wanted. She always wanted to see me succeed in everything I did. She wanted me to go to college and get a good job. She wanted me to do better than my mother did and than she did.

She is my inspiration for most of what I do at this point in my life. Living with her gave me quite a bit of insight in her life and the life of the rest of my family. I will always value what she taught me and the stories she told.

My mom doesn’t understand the connection that I had with her. Just thinking of all the cooking and cleaning and watching TV that we did together makes me miss her more. However I feel that she is in a better place and she is no longer suffering because I know she was in a lot of pain. Most of it she wasn’t even telling us about.

I will always miss her, but now she is with my grandfather and looking down upon us. At her funeral it was sunny and happy. It was more of a celebration than a day of sadness. We will be traveling out of state to bury her this weekend. That is always the hardest part.

Til next time. R.I.P. Bobbie Mae Gentry

My name is D. This is my first time blogging. I am currently sitting in my microeconomic class trying not to fall asleep. I am going to the Lady Gaga concert later tonight. I am quite excited. I am not really sure what to talk about on here. Maybe I could get some suggestions on what to say. I am interested in cars and sports mainly soccer and american football. I find them to be very interesting. I guess this is where I will be blogging my ideals as the commercial says. for those of you that read this.. Welcome to my Dramatic Delusions!
