long time, no write.

So I have not written here in a long time. School started back but it was a week later than we were suppose to cause of snow. It was great and all until Wednesday when cabin fever started to set in. I was so ready to get out of this house. But school is going good so far. Not too bad yet. I think all my tests start next week so that previous statement might change then. One of my best friends moved back to her hometown to go to nursing school and it's been really hard. We used to talk almost every day and now it's hard with her being away to talk. But hopefully I will be going to visit her over spring break! Not much else has been going on in my world and that is why I have not written in a while. yeah, I'm pretty boring.

O happy 18th birthday to my BFF Chelsea!!!

Thinking

So I have been thinking a lot lately. Mostly about life and what I want to do with mine. Ever since senior year of high school I have wanted to be an orthodontist. But is that really what I want to do?? What if I get half way through dentistry school and I realize that I don't want to do it anymore?? What if I don't get into dentistry school?? Am I truly happy in Chattanooga or am I just putting on a show for me and everyone else?? Why do I have so many questions?? I just hope that grown up life is not like this all of the time and this is just a stage of life that everyone has to go through to get to the happiness that they are going to find in life. Ok I am done now...

best. night. ever.

So if you read my blog, you will know that I am totally obsessed with Tyler Hilton. And yes, obsessed is the correct word to use. Well a couple of months ago Tyler started a tour. During this tour, he came to Nashville. On a Friday night. Tickets were only $10. I am pretty sure it was a gift from the gods. Of course I bought a ticket for myself and for my bff Chelsea as a Christmas present. The weeks before the concert there was a countdown. The day of, I don't think I could have been more excited. I also got my new car that day!! (my car finally gave up). The concert was not til 10 so we decided to go somewhere yummy to eat before hand. Chelsea found this little place called 615 Union Street. This place was so cute and served breakfast all day so it was a given that we would go there. I got the french toast and it was amazing. Well we got done eating a decided to head over to where the concert was being held. It was freezing that night so we decided to sit in the car til they opened the doors. Well as we are sitting there thinking of how amazing the concert is going to be who should walk by but Tyler himself. Now I told myself that I was not going to be one of those little fan girl but I was. I was screaming in the car and I am pretty sure he heard. Well we go to stand in line and as the line is moving we walk by his bus and when we get by the door he gets out. Right beside me. Great moment in my life. (sad yes I know) Well this venue is really cool. They have a balcony part that looks down on the stage so we sat up there and it was pretty much an awesome seat. I don't think it could have been a better seat unless we were next to the stage. Well Tyler had two opening acts that were put on the schedule like a week before the concert and they were ok. His true opening act was Josiah Leming and he was awesome! Like really look him up! and then the moment we had all been waiting for. Tyler came on and I don't think I could have asked for a better show. I have been wanting to see him for a very long time and he did not disappoint. It was amazing. Well after the show Tyler was standing by the door and was signing autographs and taking pictures. So we stood in line of course. Well when it came my turn I went up to him and said hi , shook his hand, he asked my name, I told, and then like a retard said hi again. I felt so stupid after. But I got his autograph and picture. most amazing in my 20 years of existence ever. When we got back in the car, we acted like little fan girls. It was awesome. Now for some pictures.

amazing night.

Wait, what? I have a blog??

So I was told the other day that my blog missed me and I knew this. I have been reading people's blog but have been neglecting my own. School has pretty much taken over my life and not in a good way. Right now I am at that point in the semester where I just don't care anymore. I am tired and all I want to do is sleep and not study. But I know that I need to cause if I don't than my grades will drop and I will be freaking out when finals come (more than I already am going to be). But speaking of finals, that means the end of the fall semester that I feel just started. It just does not feel like it is November ( that could be due to the fact that it is 70 everyday when it should be like 50). I saw on a sign yesterday that there is only 7 fridays til Christmas. Um, what?? Where has the time gone? Someone please do tell. But this is my little blog for the day to tell you yes, I am still alive. I will try and blog again real soon.

back to school

So I have been neglecting to blog because I have been crazy super busy with all things back to school. I am actually living off campus this year and I am loving it so far. My roommate, also named Sarah, is never here so I am pretty much living by myself. Sometime I like it and sometimes not. Not would be when you don't know that the fridge makes weird noises cause it is old and you think someone is trying to break in. But I really like living in a house. It makes it more like I am actually living here and not so dark and depressing like living in a dorm room where I want to go home every weekend. This is my 3rd weekend in a row not going home and I am very proud of myself for that. I know that sounds silly, but freshman and sophomore year I would go home every other weekend. Freshman year I did it cause I missed home alot and sophomore year I did it more cause I did not like my roommates. I could not wait to get out of there.
On to classes. This is not freshman level classes anymore. In Genetics, we take notes from the start of class to the end. No stopping. Thank goodness in my class after that we really don't take any notes. I had a HW assignment due friday in quant. It was not too bad but HW the first week of classes should be outlawed. I guess that is my freshmen/sophomore way to thinking talking. Nope Sarah, you are in the big girl classes now. No free time for you! I just hope that things get better and I start to get settled into these classes.
O and I got a job this week! I am going to be a General Chemistry Lab Teaching Assistant. It's only wednesday mornings from 8-9:50. I hate that it is at 8 but I am getting paid to do it so I will suck it up.

Ok that is all I am going to write for now. sorry there are no pictures. My computer is being funny

Thankful

So it was my birthday a week ago and let me just say a birthday can let you know just how thankful and how loved you are. Sometime I take things for granted and don't realize how good I have it. This birthday showed me that I need to cherish everything. This weekend I spent the whole weekend fixing up the house that I am going to be moving into in 2 weeks to go to school and I just started thinking today that I am going to be leaving here soon. Way too soon. This summer has flown by and I feel as though I have been sitting back and letting it without enjoying it and cherishing it and that makes me really sad. But I have decided that I am cherishing these last 2 weeks with everything I have.

Well enough of the sappy stuff. Birthday time!! I had a pretty good one. I turned 20 and I don't feel any different. I fell the same ole Sarah. Hm presents.. I got a NorthFace backpack and clothes from my wonderful parents, a "Pandora" bracelet from my adopted family that I love, Tennessee tumblers from my aunt, shelves a table and some candle holders from Jeff, and moneys from other people. My birthday me, Jeff, Jason, and Toye headed to Huntsville and went and ate at a place called Dolce.

The restaurant was very trendy and very modern looking. The food was good. I got the chicken parmesan. Very good! I recommend it. I also recommend the restaurant for a special occasion cause it is a little bit too much for just a regular meal.
