UPDATE..

Ok, so I don't officially hate the bachelor anymore! haha Everyone has been telling me they're sick of seeing that when they look at my blog. I never can find the time to write even though I'm a daily blog reader. Amy Graber, my mom's Amy. Ha It's funny to say that, but there's a reason. First, there's a ton of amy grabers. Secondly, my best friend is Amy Graber and my mom's best friend is Amy Graber. We have to keep them straight! =] Anyways, I was at the campground and she said "Alyssa, you have to change your blog! I check it everyday and it's ALWAYS the same." So, here it goes.....
School has been amazing! I am so glad I decided to come home this semester. Even though it made my christmas break miserable. Mom was mad at me and wanted me to stay at Purdue. That caused arguements literally everyday and there was a constant tension at my house over Christmas. I finally made the decision on my own that I was staying home and it has worked out so well. I have a 4.0 this semester. I LOVE my classes. Math and Physics practically. I know, you probably hate math, but I'm a math nerd. It just works for me. Most people don't like physics either but for some reason I just get it! It's really just a bunch of equations that explain why things happen on this earth and how it works. Its really neat when you can go outside and push a little kid in a swing and know the logistics as to why they move in that motion and how fast they will move. Ok, sorry to bore you!

In the fall I'll be moving to Indy. I'm kind of scared again. I changed my major from Prepharmacy at Purdue to now Electrical Engineering. I wanted to go to University of Evansville, because it's closer and smaller. Mom really wanted me to go to IUPUI. Of course, she got her way. Now I'm in the Purdue school of engineering. Hope it goes better with Purdue this time around. I don't know where I'm going to be living yet, but I know who I'll be with. Her name is Kara Minderman and she went to Vincennes Rivet. She dates Travis Schaffer if you know him. She's one of the nicest people i've ever met. I've never heard a bad thing come out of her mouth. She's very positive and I definitely need that!

ALSO!! I tried out for cheerleading at IUPUI this past Saturday. and......... I made it! =] I even had a huge downfall during tryouts but it still went well. I hyper-extended my elbow on my running tumbling pass. It was awful. I tried so hard to hold back the tears, but it hurt so bad! Then we had a short practice with the new members right after decisions were made, and they had me partner stunting! There's 5 or 6 guys on the team and they wanted ME to partner stunt. I was kind of surprised.
Lastly, I've been trying to work a lot and I'm taking a bunch of hours during May. I won't be able to work much during June, because of my mission trip and family vacation. I'm getting so excited! =]

I'll leave you with a few pictures of things that have happened recently..... =]

Derrick took me and Sarah both on a date to Masons. Kev had to work. He had two girlfriends for the night! =]

I got to go visit my girl, Haili. She goes to IUPUI too and is best friends with Kara, the girl I'm living with. I miss her!

This is all the girls at Lindsey's after the Barr-Reeve vs Loogootee game I guess. Fun night! =]

Abbie, Sarah, and I celebrating Kev's birthday at the mexican restaurant in Bloomfield. Yes, my hair is brown. I colored it so it would go back to my natural color. It doesn't look near that dark anymore. It actually worked and I think with a little bit of sun, I'll be back to normal! =]

Lastly, me and that boy of mine. He wanted to eat and not take a picture. So this is the best we could get! Stubborn little brat!
