Today there was Upward Bound. We had TRiO day, which means that we visited BSU and took some sessions about college or preparing for college or careers, and partook in a college fair. This is how my day started. I woke up at 7:30 because Jake texted me good morning. The bus leaves the college at 8, I leave two miles away, my mom's at work and I'm still in my clothes from the day before with messy hair and craving a shower. 5 minutes later Jake is at my door. How'd I get ready in less than 5 minutes? I changed shirts, tossed a hoody over it, put my hair in a bun, and brushed my teeth at I found socks and packed I wound up leaving a bunch of stuff at home, but I had my ipod which is all that really mattered. Bailey was there and so we sat together. She got to meet Colton and he complimented her on being chesty. I told him that I was the only one allowed to compliment her chest and Tim reprimanded him. Kinda. The guest speaker was funny and I liked the way he tied together really fumy life stories with serious things, and the way he kept everyone engaged in what he was saying. Then we broke out into our sessions where me and Bailey were quickly disappointed. We went to a session that was supposed to be about careers in Science Technology Engineering and Math. Also called the STEM field. The guy spent the entire time talking about geological science, and when we asked him questions about the engineering program or other science programs he was completely lost and no help at all. Then we visited the chemistry building except ever room was locked up and all we really did was walk about the hallways. After that was lunch. Lunch was delicious! Once we finished stuffing ourselves we went to the college fair. Bailey, Jake and I wound up being the last ones there. Most of the colleges had packed up and left by the time we did! I hadn't even noticed everyone leaving! Bailey and I would spend a lot of time at each booth asking questions. After that we went to a session on the costs of living in college. We learned about the cost of being on your own as a college student, not the things like books, tuition and those kind of things, but stuff like, the cost of transportation housing, and food. We also learned ways to spend less while in college. I really like that one. Then Me and Jake had to go to a special session because we had been selected for being leaders. Bay went to this one that she had wanted to go to while me and Jake struck off to our session. We learned nothing about leadership that wasn't already known to first graders. *sigh* what a waste. Then we went back to the auditorium, prizes were given out and we piled back onto various buses where we then headed for home.
So on Thursday my friend Holly brought her project for art to ski practise (its a paer mache barbie) and put it by one of the walls because even though seasons just about over we're still decorating the girls side..So yesterday(which was fri) Im 30 min. late for practice (moms) and everyone else is out skiing and i walk into the room and the barbie's moved and scared the sh!t out of me. By the time I get back people are already coming back to the stadium to do sprints so I go do a quick warm up and stuff. I come back and everyone is in spandex and t-shirts. Well the spandex isnt surprising we girls do that all the time but the t shirts wow. I would've taken my jacket off but I ski in t-shirt so I kept it on. We splitt in to two teams and start. For those who dontt know what a sprint realy is it's basically a 100-200 yard dash in relay form on skis. It was really fun and one of the times we were in the lead Jirka (j=y) did this weird jumping thing where he just like...
