Last Blog Number 10!!!

Hey Guys!! So, I am slightly stoked about this being my last blog post for English. Not that I don't like doing it, I honestly I don't mind at all, but this just means that My Freshman year is winding down and Summer is almost here!!!!! There is about 4 weeks left and only 7 actual days I have to go! (not including exams) I am very excited! I have One more semester at Bland and then I will be moving on to SRMC for radiology! This semester in English I really enjoyed it! Sweeny is a great teacher. He made class fun and enjoyable! This is coming from someone who hates English too! This was probably my favorite English class I have been in so far (even from high school) Noooooo I am not sucking up, I really did enjoy his class this semester! But I am very thankful that I never have to take an English class again!! :) Now it is time for me to start cracking down and finishing all my papers for my portfolio! I have all my outlines done and the first two written so, well mostly written:) I signed up for the A so I got lots to do before the last day of class! Right now is about when I start getting overly stressed and OVERLY LAZY! I am crunching everything in while my mind is at my beach house!! On top of everything else,  I am a camp director in the summer for the daycare that I work at so I am starting to plan out what fun things we are going to do this summer. There are days were I am working hard getting everything done and then there are days were I tell myself " eh, you have 4 weeks to get it all done" Annnyyywayyyys, I am very excited about the end of the semester and the start of summer! This semester had been great! I can proudly say I will be finishing off with all A's (well as of right now) Well I hope everyone who reads this had a great semester!!! 

BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

getting caught up!!!

SO, I was looking at all my old blog post and realized I am missing one! oops! I have no idea what week I missed so I'm just going to blog about what I am doing today.  It is Saturday THANK YOU JESUS!!!!! This past week was a long one! I finally got to sleep in! I took advantage of that and slept in until 1:30. What can I say...I love my sleep! I got a bowl of lucky charms and sat my tail on the couch. It feels good to not have to do anything for the day! I decided since its SUPER nice out today I would also take advantage of the sun and the acres of land i live on soooo I got my bathing suit on greased up and went to the field and laid down to get some sun! Im still soaking up the sun but getting this blog done at the same time! 
this is my sun buddy! His name is Gus!
Blogging it up in the sun!



Blog about class! 3/20

SPRING BREAK IS OVER AND ITS BACK TO CLASS! Spring Break was GREAT but now it is time to get back into the role of classes, homework, and test! It is always hard to get my mind back into school after a break but I always manage to somehow! In class we went over the story we read "The Rape of The Lock". We also tried to come up with all the poetry words we could think of. We had about half the board covered. We had 5 questions we had to answer as a class. The story we read was confusing at first but once we went over it with all of the class and had those questions it became a lot more clear for me! We also got our 3rd essay topic.... FUN! That about sums up what we did in class!

SPRING BREAK!

My Spring Break was one to remember! I went to Paris, France, with my brother sister and uncle! We left Saturday March 8th. Our flight there was six hours non stop! I have been on an airplane before but it was a few years ago so I was pretty nervous! Our plane was a double decker it was MASSIVE! We had a private driver pick us up from the airport when we landed in Paris. We got there at 8:45am (Paris is five hours ahead.) We were all very exhausted but excited at the same time! We got to our hotel, my sister and I stayed on the 6th floor over looking paris it was very beautiful! We saw all the touristy places like the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and a million other places!! We walked so much by the end of the day my feet felt like they were going to fall off! I was expecting the food to be amazing, but it was AWFUL!! When we were back in America the first thing we did was go to cracker barrel and get our grub on!! In Paris there was no such thing as a glass of ice. if you asked for ice they gave you 1 cube! It was an awesome and memorable experience! This was also my 2nd out of class assignment woop woop done with that!

This week in class! 2/27/14

This week in class we went over the story The Glass Menagerie. We finished watching the play on Tuesday. The play wasn't something I would watch again but it wasn't that bad. It was sort of confusing at first but I think I get the concept now. Basically what I got out of it was that it relate to glass, glass can cut you and so can people. It was all about Toms memories. In class on Thursday we played Jeopardy. the team I was on finished with 400 points and 2 knowledge points! Yep we lost. Anyhoot, Now we have to write an essay on this story! That should be fun...... 

Have a GREAT weekend!! One more week of classes in then Spring Break, all though it feels like Winter break outside! Maybe it will be warmer in Paris because that is where I will be spending my Spring Break!! but thet's next weeks blog topic so BYE!

SNOWBOARDING

So, I am a little late on this blog. Last week on Thursday I went to Wintergreen. This was one of my beyond class events. I went Snowboarding!! I love snowboarding, but I hate falling! I didn't fall a lot this time but when I did the few times a busted my face!! I went with my boyfriend his friend Jed, my brother and my friend Jordan!.... We ate at this place called the edge! It was quite the experience!! First our food took more than 45minutes to get out, the server never gave us refills, we saw him like two times when he took our order and brought our food to us. The food was good but the service stunk!!! On top of the awful service, I was double charged $14.00 for my meal. I just got that back in my account yesterday a.. WEEK later! The ride home was terrible! Jordan Chris and I were shoved in the back of a jeep for three hours. We ate at Wendy's on the way home but had to go to tim-buck-two to find it! It was an overall great trip! We made lots of memories!!

Snow days are my favorite days!

Hi guys! So I am a little late writing this post but oh well! This past week in class we had our rough drafts due for our first paper. I did mine in outline format because that really helps me get organized. In class, Sweeny had us get into groups and read our papers out loud. We did this so the people in our group could take some notes on what we wrote and then give us some tips on how to revise. I read mine and my group said that I didn't really need to change anything and that I had some good points from the story. We all read ours and gave tips here and there. Doing these groups really helped! Luckily we didn't have to go to school Thursday because of the wonderful snow!!! I spent my snow day snowboarding at Wintergreen!! It was really fun and this coming Thursday I will be doing the same thing and get to use it as an out of class event! Next weeks post will be all about my trip to Wintergreen! Hope everyone has a GREAT week!!! As much as I would LOVE TO WRITE MORE the Walking dead is coming on! bye!! :)

:) week 3

Hey everyone reading this! 
So this week was NEVER ENDING . I had so many exams and test I am GLAD this week is OVER! Now it's finally time to enjoy my weekend. Which means do all my homework and get ready for next week! I am actually really looking forward to getting all my homework and studying done! Only because when I get it all done I can sleep! :P  I am super stoked about the week ahead because I get to go snowboarding which I LOVE! Even better I get to use that as an out of class event for English woop woop!! Anyhoot! So this week in class we went over stories that we were assigned to read. We discussed them in detail, which  I was happy about because one of them I was completely lost! We also talked about all the different topics we could write about for our essay. That also helped me out a lot. I knew what topic I wanted to write about but that put it a little bit more in perspective for me. To the people reading this I apologize, this post is pretty lame! I am Watching Criminal Minds at the moment and that pretty much has all my attention so once again I apologize! :)

Walking in the FREEZING COLD!

Today I froze my tail off walking from one end of the campus to the other to get to English class....... 

I was rushing back from Chipotle to get to English class on time. I got to campus and parked in the HMSS parking lot and really debated whether or not to get out of my car because it was so cold! I finally got out and froze the entire walk to English my eyes was watering because the wind. I got to the door of the classroom and remembered the email we got earlier about class. I was so frustrated at myself for forgetting. I turned back around and walked back to my car and drove to the other parking lot. I got into the library joined my group and set off on the scavenger hunt. It was pretty easy to answer all the questions. Our group finished first and presented second to last. I knew pretty much all the questions that were asked between all the groups. I did learn about Worldcat. Which is a link on the RBC web page that can look up any book that RBC does not own and find a library in Virginia and can lend it to us. I was pretty excited about class getting out early but I was not excited that I had to walk back to the HMSS building for my next class..... 

About Me

Hey Guys!! 
This blog is going to be all about my life and where I am heading in it! 
So to begin, I am 18. I still live at home I am the youngest of six kids! I am the "baby" of the family. At times it is annoying because I am always getting compared to the others but it also has its quirks that I LOVE. I am a daddy's girl and I am not ashamed! So a little about my family... My dad owns Three businesses, S.W Maclin Roofing CO., S.W Maclin Gutters, and he owns quite a few houses and rents them out.  My mom has always been a stay at home mom which is a job in itself, but since all of us kids have grown up she started her own business. It is called Time Well Spent, basically if you need help with any odd job she is your go to person. My oldest brother, Mark, (my half bro) is a Physical Therapist he owns his own practice. He is married and has two girls, Maggie and Charlotte. My 2nd oldest brother Stuart, works for my dad and will soon inherit all the businesses. He is married and has one son, Walker. My oldest sister, Leah, Graduated From ODU and runs her husbands, uncles business from home. She has one daughter, Autumn. My other brother, Thomas, graduated from RBC, and transferred to VCU, he graduated last year getting his bachelors in business. He now works for one of the biggest insurance CO. in Richmond. My other sister attends VCU, and is getting her bacholers in Nursing.  Last but not least, is me.. I will graduate RBC Fall 2014 with my Associates in science. If all goes according to plan, I will attend SRMC to get my License in Radiology. After that I will transfer to VCU to finish with a Bachelors degree. 
I tell you all about my family because they are a huge part of my life. My parents support me in everything I do. If it was not for them I would be NOWHERE! Literally! He bought my car for me, puts the gas in it, pays for all of my schooling EVERYTHING! I am very blessed! 

So going back a little bit I Went to a Private Prep School all my life until 12th grade. I took College classes since 9th grade.  My parents decided to send my to Dinwiddie High School so that I could take College courses at RBC and get a feel for the college I would be spending my next two years at. I got my first job at Kids First Christian Preschool/Childcare in 2011. I still work there. I was a worship leader at my church for three years (I sing and play guitar and some piano) I met my Boyfriend at work. He is Four years older than me but we make it work haha. I am sure that I found the man God made for me! Some random facts about me is ... My favorite color is.... I don't really have one but if i had to pick it would be Aqua. I love my Cat Georgia Peach. I love my dog Sweetie and I hate chocolate! 

All of these things I am beyond blessed with is all because of God! He has gotten me to the point in life that I am at right now and will always be by my side. I Love God with all my heart! Through him all things are possible! I know this because me life is a perfect example!
