Rice Family

okay. I made it....yes I should have said so sooner! I'm having a lot of fun with my family. We went to the Mall of America- my first time. That place is HUGE! It was a lot of fun, but in the hours that we spent there we didn't even make it through a small portion of the mall, it's soooo big! It's nice to see my mom and the Toney's. Although, Kansas has nice weather and Minnesota not so much...but I'll put up with it for my family. Emily and Erin got their tattoos yesterday and I'm sooo excited for them...I really want to see what they look like. Happy Easter everybody...tomorrow.

I'm leaving tomorrow for Minnesota...wish us luck! I am excited to be able to see everyone, hopefully everything will go smoothly. (pray). I packed today...kind of...I have lots to pack still, but I have until ummm....about 1:00 tomorrow! (I already know I'm a procrastinator, o.k.?) Anyway, I hope everyone has a great springbreak...and you know, sisters of mine in Alaska, your time may have been better spent in Minnesota and then everyone would have been able to see everyone else! But hey. what do I know?

okay, so I fell behind this week in my classes. And I'm pretty mad at myself for it. Hopefully I do better from here on out, cuz I need to bring my grades back up from the backlash of doing so horribly. grrrr. I hate when my grades drop. I'm also seriously considerinig withdrawing from my engineering graphics class. It's really gotten hard for me to understand how to do everything I'm supposed to know how to do; especially ever since I had trouble with the program, I've fallen behind. So I'm pretty frustrated about that too...I don't know what withdrawing will do to my financial aid since it will drop me below full time status. I plan to go talk to an advisor soon. other than that I'm just trying to get ready for spring break. I'm not really looking forward to flying with M this time. I'm pretty sure she's not going to enjoy being confined to my lap the entire time. Hopefully I can bring enough things to keep her entertained. I...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE....DO NOT LET M GET SICK!! I am so tired of M getting sick...but somehow we always manage to get around sick people who like to share being sick! KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES DANG IT!! so....Jodi is running a little fever. It started yesterday, got to 102, and went down a bit. This morning I get here, she's screaming in her bed...I get her up and ready and she is complaining about hurting, but she can't tell me where...and she's got a fever again. It's only 100.5 today, but come on! do we really need to be sick again. And I don't know how to prevent M from getting it, cuz we're here. They play together. They always manage to share drinks no matter how much I try to prevent it. Waaa waaaa waaaa! And i'm fairly certain Jodi got it from Patrick, cuz he's been sick, which goes to show whatever is causing sick people doesn't mind spreading! ...and I woke up thinking today would be a good day. ................... I don't th...

I'm goin to Minnesota for spring break. It's for sure now. The ticket is paid for. Yay! J may or may not be able to join us for easter. It depends on if we can find a cheap last-minute ticket. I'm having a great day this morning. Contrasting from yesterday - things were not going well. Hopefully it will last. I've gotta get to my homework now. I hope everybody has a good day!
