Well it's official both Mark and I are 21!! I had way more fun on his birthday than I did on my own. The flu is on the list of worst things to happen on your 21er... Anyways it was tons of fun and the fun didn't end on his birthday night! His parents and sister came down to Eugene from Mercer Island on Sunday and we all went to the baseball game to watch us beat Cal (nice 3 RBI homer Eddie!). His parents and sister really were staying at a hotel in Portland so rather than say goodbye on Sunday we decided to make the drive to Portland also and boy was that a great decision. We were totally spoiled!! I can understand why they wanted to stay at the Portland hotel and not one in Eugene, the Portland hotel was The Nines in downtown Portland. It was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. It was amazing. I got to share a room with his sister while he stayed in a room with his parents. It was fun because it was like a slumber party in the ultimate room! Our bathroom alone was bigger than my room at school! Big Thanks to Mark's parents for bringing me and taking me out to food!! I had the time of my life.
It was great to hang out with Mark's familly this weekend since last weekend we got to hang out with my family. We had so much fun going to the zoo with my family including my sister, brother in law, nephew and my brother in laws mom, sister niece and nephew! Miss you guys!
Anyways now that I am back at school and no longer at the Nines (unfortunate!) its back to the usual routine. I had a group meeting earlier because my groups huge feasibility study (30 pages not including appendices or cover page or table of contents, so it will end up at like 40 pages... wow!) is due tomorrow! We also have to present on that on Thursday. On Thursday I also have my final portfolio due for advertising. Then next week I have two finals and then schoooool is out for summer! Still need to get a laptop between now and then... I really need to get on the ball!
That's all for now

Week 8?
Well, it is officially week 8, 2 more weeks of classes then finals and finally summer! Life is crazy right now. Saturday and Sunday were Relay For Life. It started at 5pm Saturday although I had to get there at 1pm and then it ended Sunday at 8 although I was there til 9am. It went really well, I was in charge of all Activities and Entertainment, and I think everyone there had fun. Mark's fraternity (Phi Delta Theta) won the Spirit Cup which was awesome! Sunday was also my mom's birthday and Leesie, Jimmy and Emmett are in Corvallis for like 2 weeks, so they came down to Eugene with mom, dad, and Ryan. I had taken a 2 hour nap before they got to town and then going on that sleep and very little food, we went to some kind of wild flower festival and hiked around an arboretum, after that we checked out 5th Street Market and went to dinner which was nice to finally eat. It was great to hang out with the family, and I am going home this weekend to see them more, Mark and I are going to the Portland Zoo with them on Saturday. Classes are really crazy right now thanks to group projects. Thankfully this is my last term having to take 4 classes so even though my classes will be harder, I will have less classes. I registered for classes today, and got my first choices! I am taking Actg 340 (Accounting for Entrepreneurs) SBUS 452 (Sports Sponsorships) and BA 453 which is the capstone class for the business major. I am done by 12pm every day!!
Well, that is alll for now, still haven't bought a new computer, but when I do I will start posting pictures also I just don't want to download pictures onto someone elses computer

What a Day!
Today was a good day! It is really nice outside and some great updates for you!
Apartment:
Mark and I took a tour of the apartment today, it was a group tour but of all the apartments to show, they just happened to show mine which was nice because I really wanted to see the inside of mine before paying the deposit. Now I just got back from signing something and paying the deposit so the apartment is going to be officially mine and I just have to sign the lease in August woohoo! It's actually bigger than I expected. Now I just need to find furniture and accessories (table, toaster, microwave, chairs, pots and pans, etc!) One downside, no dishwasher, so I guess all my guests will be doing their own dishes.
School?
Went to my adviser today which I do every term right before class registration so that I can plan my schedule with her. Realized I don't have 9 classes left in college like I had thought but actually EIGHT!!! Therefore 8 more classes and I am officially done with college. WOW! How crazy is that? I am so excited to be done with school, although being done with college will be weird... I will be a real member of society what? After taking 4 or 5 classes every term including this spring term it will be so nice being able to take 2 or 3... Hopefully I'll be able to get a job, and spend a lot of time in career services and such working on that elusive first job after college!
Relay For Life...
is next weekend?! Crazy, after all my work this year the event is finally going to happen. Today I met with the co chairs and we wrote the script for the event, so now all I have to do is hope that every performer and activity happens perfectly. Oh and hope I don't pass out or go insane from lack of sleep since I will be getting there at 1pm Relay starts at 5pm and then ends at 8am so then I will be cleaning, and unlike other people my job happens all Relay long so I can't disappear and take a nap...
Well that's my life right now, Happy upcoming Mother's Day to the moms who read this.

Good and Bad
One real quick update-
Good:
I was officially approved for my apartment so now Mark and I just have to tour it tomorrow.
Bad
My friend who I am borrowing his computer broke his computer and had to send it away to get fixed, therefore later today he is taking his computer back so my life will soon be transferring to spending all my time in the computer lab til I get a new computer...

My First Entry
I am going to start a blog, Hopefully this way when interesting things do happen in my life(this probably won't happen until summer because my studying habits are not super interesting... I study a lot) Anyways now people can stay more updated on the happenings of my life.
Living Situation
For now the exciting news is I applied for my apartment for next year! I am super excited, I walked by it twice on Saturday with my parents so I know I like the outside and Mark and I are going on a tour on Friday so hopefully the inside is just as cool. I will have a deck overlooking a fountain, and it's only like two blocks from campus! I don't know for sure if I got it but I'm first in line for it, thanks to Mark and I going to Bell Realty at 6:30 am last Friday (they opened at 9) and we were 25th in line for choices so if all the paperwork goes through I will be in my first choice apartment next year YAY! No more stress for that. I even happened to be standing behind my (second?) cousin Aundria in line so I got to hang out with her for a few hours which was nice since we haven't in years! BIG THANK YOU TO MARK for waking up at 6am to stand in line with my for 5 hours to get an apartment when he already has a place to live.
Dell Fiasco
Another update is my computer (stupid Dell) broke completely so I am borrowing a friends until I can buy a new one. Any suggestions? I really want a Mac but I am somewhat nervous because I have heard mixed reviews on the compatibility with the business school here, so I am open to others but I have a huge lack of trust with computers right now and will probably end up with either a Mac or HP. Note to self: Never buy a computer completely based off of the fact that you can get it in pink.
Summer 2010
Onto my last bit of news for this post. On June 13th I will be officially moving to Portland for another summer of living at my Aunt Dee and Uncle Michael's condo. Going home is just not my style these days (sorry Corvallis). I have another great internship so it will be great. I am working in promotions for both the Portland Beavers (baseball) and Portland Timbers (soccer). The Beavers are the triple A affiliate of the San Diego Padres and the Timbers are going to be an MLS team next year! I am super excited to live in Portland again, its nice partly living on my own because I usually take care of everything for myself but still getting invited to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle and having the family connection. Also not being in Corvallis makes it easy to avoid the people that went to my high school that are now doing nothing with their lives and I would hate to run into since I feel like I have done a lot.
I guess this is a pretty good update so I will probably write again soon, maybe after my apartment tour!
Go Ducks!
