here it goes...

I read a lot of blogs and have always really enjoyed them. I love hearing the stories and witty things people have to say. So, I thought it would be interesting to start my own. Even if I am the only one who ever reads my posts, I think it will still be worth it. I have had some not so successful experiences with journaling. Last year when I was cleaning my room at home before I moved out and into the dorm, I found 5 or 6 journals with about 10 pages used. Each post said, "well it's been awhile since I've written." Considering my past attempts, I am pretty sure this might not work out that well...but hey here it goes.

Here is how my life is going right now... I am going to be a sophomore in college at the university of kentucky. I am majoring in early elementary education. I want to be a kindergarten teacher and I cannot wait to be out of school and teaching my own class! I am currently working 3 jobs for the summer. Starbucks is my main job which I work during the school year. It is actually a lot of fun and I get so much joy out of making people's day just by making them a drink. I never knew how much of a difference customer service can make in someones day. I also have a nanny job... which is a very hot and cold experience. I will leave it at that. My third job is just a sporadic thing at the gym daycare I used to work at. I really wish I could work there more but I have no time. I loved working there but had to quit last year when I started UK because it was taking to much time out of my day to get there. It just wasn't worth it. Most people might think that working in a daycare would be awful but I love being around kids and learning from them.

I just moved into an apartment and I love it. I have always been very independent so living on my own fits me very well. I like responsibility. Which is kind of weird for people my age. I love having things that I have to take care of. I like having to clean and do laundry and even cook, even though I am pretty sure it will get old fast. And its a good thing I like responsibilty... because I just got a puppy! I just couldn't resist her cute little face when I went to the humane society with my roommate. It was one of the most spontaneous things I've ever done. I have never been so happy though. Even though there are times when I have been frustrated cleaning up pee, finding chewed up toilet paper (tp is way expensive! especially for a struggling college student), and not being able to do whatever I want whenever I want, I have been enjoying every minute with the cutest huskey german shepard puppy ever. I am pretty sure this blog will turn into the adventures of Lexie because she is always doing to funniest, cutest things.

Well I hope that I can give everyone a laugh or amaze you with my wittieness, but I'm thinking that all I'm going to do is bore you with my not so amusing life. Especially since I realized my level of creativity is rather low since I had to google, "cute blog names" and came up with nothing. So if you have any wonderful, cute, or insightful names for my blog...Let me know!

Thoughts for the day

Summer was created for a reason...to have a break from school. That is why you should never take a summer class (even though it is inevitable that I will take atleast one class in the summer every year). Trying to learn how to do statistics and get a tan at the same time doesn't work out that well.

Who knew that dishwahsers don't clean pots with dried on food... oh wait I did. Now if my roommate would just realize it too.

Dogs really are mans best friend
