Favorite Foods

When I was young, my favorite food was macaroni and cheese. As I got older my taste changed. I have a couple favorites now. One of them is lasagna, another is chili. When you're younger you usually want quick, not so healthy meals. As you get older, you appreciate home cooked meals. As a child you like to do a lot of things, but you don't like to sit around and wait for your food to be done. If you're hungry you want your food right away so you can get back to playing.

Spring Break

A few weeks ago we had spring break. Over spring break I didn't go anywhere too special. I did have a lot of fun though. I went to the Cities to take my sister and some friends to the airport. After I dropped them off a friend and I went shopping and to a casino. It was fun! I also went to the Cities another time to look at a car. I've been searching for a new car for about 2 months, but nothing has worked out. This time it did work out. I went up there and looked at a Chrysler Sebring, and it was very nice. There were a few things that he was going to fix before I got it, so I couldn't take the car home that night. I had to make another trip up to the Cities a few days later to pick it up. I've been driving it ever since, and I love it! Besides going to the Cities three times over spring break, I did a few other things. I babysat my nephew a couple times, which was fun. I spent time with family and friends, and I also worked over spring break.

Weather

Minnesota weather is always unpredictable. One week it's negavtive something, and the next week it's in the 40s! I am sick of it and I wish winter would be over with for several reasons. In the winter, I hate walking to class. Your classes can be pretty far away and you have to walk in the freezing temperatures to get to them. In the winter you're more likely to have car problems. With the temperatures so low, cars tend to not want to start. If they do, then you usually have to scrape the snow off your windows. Another reason I want winter to be over is because there isn't much to do. You might avoid going outside because of the coldness, so you just have to sit around your house. In the summer there is many things you can do, and you actually want to go outside. I cannot wait until winter is over.

Yesterday I went and looked at a few houses/apartments with my sister. We are trying to find somewhere to live for next school year. We've looked online quite a bit, but haven't found much. Yesterday we were driving around looking for for sale signs on houses. We found some, but nothing too great. My sister went back home and searched online some more. She found a pretty nice apartment, so she called the guy. He said he could meet with us that night to show us his place. We met him at the apartment to get the tour. We liked the apartment a lot. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. It has quite a bit of room in it too. It's not like apartments we've looked at in the past that are really small and don't have very much to offer, and are usually all high in price. This one also has a small work out room, a billards room, and a heated garage that is offered. We're pretty sure this is the one we're going to get. We just have to work out the details, and it will be ours.

My Car!!

Recently my car has been having some issues. I had to get an oil change and I had the mechanic check to see if there was anything wrong with it, cuz I was pretty positive there was. I dropped my car off Friday morning and a while later the mechanic called me with some bad news. He said there was a leak in the transmission and that it was probably going to go out soon. I had a leak in my power stearing and the wheel barings were going bad also. He told me that with how many miles my car had on it I would be better off getting a new vehicle. He said it would be about $2000-$3000 to fix it. So I began my search for a new car. I looked at a couple of different websites, and now I think I found the car of my dreams! It's a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It is VERY NICE!! I've wanted an Eclipse forever! I have been emailing back and forth with the seller, and I'm thinking I am getting this car! Right now I am waiting to hear back with a couple questions I had asked him.

Pet Peeves

I have a couple pet peeves. My first one is when someone leaves cupboard doors or drawers partly open. This bothers me. If I go into a kitchen and there are some doors or drawers open part way I will shut them. My sister thought she would be funny one day and she opened every cupboard and drawer a little. When I went in there I shut them all right away and she thought it was funny. Another pet peeve of mine is drivers who leave their blinker on for EVER! They just drive down the road, knowing that they are not going to turn, with their blinker on. With these pet peeves I don't go crazy if they happen, they just kinda bother me.

College can be a very stressful yet enjoyable time. Last semester, my first semester of college, was pretty easy. This semester is different because I'm taking more credits. I've already had a lot of homework pretty much every night. Last semester I think my classes were easier and I didn't have homework as much. I could pretty much go hang out with friends whenever I wanted to. This semester I am learning how to prioritize my schedule. I just have to keep in mind what is most important to me. I have to do the most important things then I can do fun things. I know that as I go on in college, it will become more and more stressful.
