adventures.

a lot of things have happened in the past week and half. let us review:

last weekend i went to michigan with michael, and not only was it good to see him, it was really fun to hang out with his grandparents. the first day we went cross country skiing. it's super easy, besides walking up hills, which there was a lot of me on my butt time. 
michael's grandparents surprised us that night with downhill skiing for the next day. yes. holy moses, i've never done such a thing and i was pretty terrified. i acted like tough stuff though. so on saturday we ventured towards crystal mountain and we skiied. i, kelly baker, am the WORST skiier in the history of the universe. i had little girls in burton pink equipment passing me up. basically, when we first started on the easy hills (michael's been skiing before, he's real good at it), i just tumbled down on my stomach. actually one of my legs was backwards at one point and i couldn't stop it. mmm yeah. then, i just zoomed down the hill at 100 mph. eventually, michael tought me how to turn, but that just ended up with me running into all the trees on the side of every flipping hill, or just sliding backwards. finally, i got the hang of it. i'm still pretty terrible though. nevertheless, it was AWESOME. i would definitely do it again. thanks rach for those snowboarding pants. even if i had to wear them like mom pants.
on sunday we went snow shoeing across bass lake, michael fell through the ice twice. i make sure to tell everyone that, i think because it makes me feel better about myself at skiing. he got stuck a couple times, i just laughed. it wasn't deep. other than these three adventuresome activities, we just hung out with the grandparents, played lots of cards, watched lots of political television, ate lots of delicious food and all around just had a good time.

well, i'm back at school now. ready to kick butt. tara's asleep right now, and i think she just said something about chicken in her sleep. anyways, 

classes are real good. getting up at 8:00 isn't too bad. it makes me fall asleep sooner at night then. i have:
COR class: i'm pretty pumped about this one, Dr. Dunnington is genius and he went to oklahoma state so he probably knows Jordy. but he is an awesome theologian man, person, teacher thing. i've already learned a lot. good perspectives and such.

Drawing II: i'm realllllyy looking forward to this. i haven't drawn for so long. and i already see myself learning a lot. yesterday we had to draw our self portraits without a mirror. yes, i kind of turned out as a block of cheese. i think i criticize myself too hard though, because the coolest hipster on campus, Steph Plant, was amazed by my drawing. huzzah!

Speech: I totally own that class.

English: Boring as heck, but once again, ownage.

Computer Programming: This will be difficult. it'll be good though. Deloy Cole is the Digital Media head here, so this class is taking me one step closer to my degree. It's all codes and computer scripts. I am going to be coming out of here as one nerdy person. tada.

Yes, those are my scholarly classes. It's going to be a good semester. no explanation needed, it's just going to be. Anyways, this morning me and my friends woke up at 5:30 am to go to Denny's and get a free grand slam. which is so generous to the American people. thanks Denny's for making dreams come true. but we went there and waited for an hour because everyone from china decided to go to that specific Denny's and we had eight people in our group. At one point, they called 'Banker' and we got excited but then severely pissed because it wasn't Baker. yes, that was fun.

hmmm..anything else. oh! i got a babysitting job. i researched, found this family. two little girls, Gabby and Trinny(trinity), 2 years old and 10 months. I met them yesterday and they are adorable. And i start tomorrow! woot! its REALLY crappy pay, they can't afford too much, but heck, i can't afford to be picky about the zero dollars i'm making right now. it's going to be a super easy job.

andddd that last drug study i talked about was cancelled. so i signed up for another one. 1600 dolla. cha-ching.

and that is all my dear loved ones.

i want to come home this weekend. things are looking down though... i can't afford a train ticket...um. yes. we shall see.

i have nothing furthur to say. let's see how faithful you people are at commenting or reading my awesome posts. toodaloo
