last weeks friday five

I used to do these all the time until the site shut down. Now two new ones have open up...giving me something to blog about again! so here is last weeks friday five...and tomorrow i'll do this weeks.


1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
My last all nighter was for school purposes...I was working on a project while portfolio semester, so my time was very limited. I spent many nights in my office until the wee hours of the morning until my advisor told me that i HAD to get at least 5 hours of sleep a night.

2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
I don't have a favorite...it's usually water or diet pop with some sort of snack...popcorn, crackers, candy...

3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
homework! but not anymore. now if i'm up, there usually isn't a good reason for me to be up. but i find i do some of my best art/designing at night.

4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?
not by much...in some cases, i go into overdrive and get a little crazy.

5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?
haha...food! it's always food. at night anyway...i'll stay up to make sure i get everything done at night before i sleep...but if i'm tired during the day, and i have time, i will make sure i take a nap.

Being Silly

This is my little cousin Savanna and I, playing with her Dad's web cam. She really amazes me. Every day she asks when I will be coming home and waits for me...then she follows me around once I'm home, waiting patiently for me to have time to play with her! I love it.

Here goes week 3 of work. Hopefully I won't mess anything up this time. I also start waitressing Thursday and I'm trying to get into Biolife so that I can make some gas/food money. I can't wait for my first paycheck!

swim coach

i got the swim coaching job! that makes me pretty excited. however, i'm not excited to kiss away my friday nights until 7 pm. that means if there is any weekend traveling, i won't arrive anywhere until late.

but i'm so freakin excited! foxjets are the biggest and fasted team in minnesota...and minnesota is a fast state. the team has sent 2 swimmers onto olympic trials.

woohoo! no i just have to figure out where i will be living in september. i'm thinking eden prairie with the relatives for the month...then my new roommate should have bought her house in st. paul.




and yes, julie mae, i will call you...just have to get my definite schedule figured out...should start next week.

and yes...i miss bad medicine and you, deedee. if i don't have to work on saturday or sunday, i'll think about driving up...but i'm thinking it might be best to stay here.

week 2 - the city life

so far so good. i have my own office. i work 3 days a week. and...i have an interview for a swim coach position with the fastest team in minnesota. i have my own room, a sleep number bed, a bathroom with heated floor tiles all to myself, my computer is here, i have a tv in my room, and every night my little cousin waits for me to come home so we can color dora the explorer.

yup, can't complain too much.

(but making money would make everything a lot easier...)
