Nothing is really new this week. Hunting started a little bit ago, and one of my friends got a deer. He asked me if I wanted to help cut it up, and I said yes. I have never helped cut up a deer before, when my dad and I went hunging we would take the deer somewhere to be processed and they would skin it and cut it up.

I got to my friends house, his friend came and helped cut up the deer too, and he was shocked that I was helping. he said that he has never seen a girl want to help cut up something with blood. I'm always up for trying new things, and this was new.

We first started by cutting up the front legs, which wernt hard, but the knifes were really dull, so it was difficult at first, but then my friend went and got a sharpner. It was really cool to see how the different muscles fit together. Im in a A and P class, and we had a unit on muscles and what way they move to body, also we had a unit on bones and how the muscles us bones for support and also for movement, and it was just really cool to be able to hold this leg and move it and watch the muscles move.

This week was about the same as last week. I really dont do anything besides work and go to school during the week and then weekends I work even more. It is really hard right now trying to balance time with friends, school, and work, because when I'm not doing one of those things I'm sleeping or trying to keep up with my laundry. Being a college student who travels every day to school, being a manager at work, and trying to get school work done, and find time to do everything else is hard. I know that it is going to be like this when I get older and have a full time job, but right now I think it is extra hard.

A lot of my friends are getting to the age where all they want to do is drink, or party, and that isn't me. I like to just hangout and listen to music, or go to a camp fire, but drinking isn't my thing. So with that being said it is hard to hangout with my friends when that's all they want to do. I find myself staying at home more with my mom and watching movies, which is actually fun.

My mom is probably one of my best friends. We go out to eat a lot, watch movies, go shopping, and it is fun! I would strongly encourage everyone to talk to their mothers, and fathers more, because they can really surprise you, at least my parents surprise me.

It was a really long week this week. I was called into work on Wednesday, and I normally don't work Wednesday. That day I got up at 5:45 a.m. because I had class at 8, then I had to wait until 3:40 for my next class to start. I would normally sleep in my car for a bit, but my friend decided that she wanted to go to the mall and shop for a bit. So we went to the mall and she bought a few things, but I wasn't in the mood to shop, I was soo tired. After we got back to school from the mall, my friend had class and I went to my car to sleep for an hour before I went to study for class. I drive and Eclipse, a little 2 door sports car, and the back set isn't really that big, but I hopped in the back, curled up with a blanket and took a nap. On Monday's and Wednesday's I have long brakes between classes, and I normally try and take a nap so that way I wont fall asleep on my drive home to Winona at 6 at night.

That week was also the anniversary of the 2008 election, the first election that I was able to vote in. I was really happy that I got a chance to vote that year. Many people have strong opinion's about politics, I do not like to get into discussions with people about politics because I do not like to be put into a categories for believing one thing or another. I believe in what I believe.

What to write about.. well Halloween was fun, well at least it was kinda fun. I had to open that day at work at 7, then I worked to 5 in the after noon. needless to say it was a long day. After work I went home and slept for an hour or so, then I got ready for the night. Some of my friends dressed up as the Mario brothers, one was the devil, an angel, a dead Michael Jackson (that was the best costume by far). A bunch of us normally hangout up at my friends house in his barn, so that is where we went for the night. It was really cold, but luckily he had a heater that he brought out so it wasn't that bad.

Some of my friends decided to start drinking so that was when I thought it was best to leave. So I went home and went to bed. Over all it was a fun night, but I was really tired the whole time, and I had to close the next night at work and I needed some well deserved sleep.

This past weekend wasn't the eventful, I worked my normal 7 A.M. to 5 shift on Saturday, then hung out with some friends. Sunday afternoon I watched some football, then later that night I worked again. On Wednesday when I was sitting in my kitchen, I looked over at the other counter and saw a card. So I went over and looked at it, and it was my moms card from my dad for their 22 wedding anniversary that was Saturday. I felt like the worst child in the world. I had forgotten my parents anniversary, and the asked me that day if I wanted to go to eat with them that night and I told them I was going to hangout with friends instead. I felt horrible!! I couldn't believe that I forgot their anniversary. I told my mom I was the worst daughter ever and I gave her a hug and told her I was sorry, she said it was fine, but I knew it wasn't. I will never forget October 17Th again!
My family had a surprise visit from my uncle who lives in Texas last night. He called my mom when he was in Illinois saying that he would be in town in a few hours and was wondering if it was alright if he stopped by for a visit. How were we suppose to say no? I got home from class and cleaned up my bathroom a little bit, because the guest room is right next to mine, and we made sure everything looked good for his arrival. The only problem with his arrival was I had to work last night from 3:30-11 managing, and I wasn't going to be able to find someone to cover for me, because I was covering for the other manager. When I finally got home at 11:30 my dad, mom, and uncle were still up talking, and they were waiting for me to get home so we could all visit. I felt bad that I couldn't get home sooner to see him.

This post was suppose to be from the week of the 16Th. Again I apologize that they were late.

This past week I haven't really done anything exciting, but if you haven't look at my profile, I'm really into sports. With that being said, I am a HUGE Twins fan! I've been to the Twins Caravan the past few years, and I have pictures with some of the players, and a picture with Bert Blyleven. They are my favorite team and I love watching them. I even got my mom into them, she watches almost every game she can, and she now understands a lot about the sport. Well I was extremely excited when the Twins won the AL (American League) Central. They played game 163 against the Chicago White Sox for the Central title. They ended up winning against the White Sox! Their next game was against the Yankees in NY. I was working that day (Friday the 9Th) and after work I went to a local sports bar with a couple of my co-workers to watch some of the game. I had a lot of fun watching the game with them, but once they decided to go to a actual bar, I went home to watch the rest with my mom. It was a very intense game, which they ended up losing. :( I love the Twins but this past season they never won a game against the Yankees in the regular season, so I wasn't going to get my hopes up that they could beat them, and keep going in the post season. Even though they didn't win doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching them. GO TWINS!
I'm also into Football. I'm participating in my first Fantasy League this year with my co-workers. I didn't have the chance to watch many games last year because I worked on Sundays when the games were on, but this year I made sure I had Sundays off. Well so far in Fantasy I am 5-0! I have the best record for me league! People were doubting me, especially the guys I work with. But now they are scared, because I keep winning. I think it is funny because my bosses are in the league and I have beet both of them, and they kept telling me that I was going to lose to them, but I haven't!

Alright so I finally got this figured out! This post was supposed to be from the week of the 9Th.

So this past week end I had the opportunity to go duck hunting with one of my friends. I went on Sunday the 3rd for my first time and, Oh boy was it interesting. I got up really early, about 3 A.M. and got ready to meet my friend at his place. We met up with his dad at the meeting spot and got into a canoe and found a good spot to sit and wait for the birds. At one point we had to get out and walk through the water, and me being clumsy, I decided I should go for a little swim, and I feel in. I started to laugh, my friend was laughing, and his dad came and pulled me out, while laughing. From that point on, I was freezing, and I had no extra clothes to put on. Only my coat go wet because I was wearing waders that kept my legs from getting wet. My friend on the other hand wasn't so lucky. He has a very small cut in his waders and his pants were soaking wet, both his socks were wet and when he dumped his boots out, I thought that a fish was going to fall out because there was so much water in them. I was having a lot of fun while I was out with them.
