MSU Moorhead Admissions

Hey

2010-04-12T12:00:00.000-07:00

So it has been awhile since I have last blogged. There was Spring Break which was fun even though all I did was go to Bon Jovi! Otherwise I just went home a hung out with the family. For me, it seems like school is slowing down which is nice. Not as much stress during the week. I do have three group projects to finish for the end of the semester but I have good group members to work with so it should not be that bad. I am only taking one summer class this year-compared to the four I took last semester. That will be a nice change. I have also signed up for classes next fall and decided to take golf and scuba!!! I am very excited for both of them! I decided that I better go to the lake this summer and refresh my swimming skills! I had to hand in my graduation application last week which was weird. It does not seem like I should be graduating in the fall. It went by fast. My advisor is very nice though-he just wants to make sure I have everything completed!
Have a good week!

Hey everyone!
What a busy week it has been. It seems like when I get a big assignment or test done and out of the way more work just keeps on coming. I am very excited for Spring Break which is only a little over a week away!! I cannot believe that it is already March! I am trying to get as much of my homework done ahead of time that I can just in case it floods. So that means every free moment that I have I am doing homework-which really does not give me much free time at all but that is alright I am getting use to it. I am just really excited for Spring Break which means no homework and BON JOVI!! That is my plan-not to do homework at all and just enjoy my break!
Have a great day!

Hi everyone!
Wow what a busy week it has been! I am afraid to say that this next week will be just as busy if not worse. I had my first test of the semester on Wed-which went really well. Now I have a huge test on Tuesday which means I have 119 pages to read, notes to study, and math problems to figure out. I wouldn't be that stressed out about it, but I promised to help some friends move the weekend so that is what I'll be doing. Besides the busy weeks, everything is good-and spring break is only two weeks away!!

Hello!!

Hey everyone!
So it has been a really long time since I have blogged. I think it has been since Thanksgiving! Well this is a crazy semester. I am officially a SENIOR graduating in December. To me it is really exciting and scary at the same time. I am not taking to many classes this semester but I always seem to be busy. I work and go to class all day it seems and than come home and do homework. One night I had a break-nothing that had to be done for the following day- I did not know what to do with myself! So I did homework that was not due for awhile. It is weird being so busy but for the most part I don't mind it. Just have to stay positive and keep on smiling! I do get stressed and I know others do to but it's a part of life!
Have a great few days!!

HEY!

Hey!
So Thanksgiving break is just around the corner and I am very excited as I am sure many students are. I am trying to work really hard this week to get all homework done so I can enjoy my break, and not be studying the whole time. Thanksgiving does not usually work out very well in my family. We are always in the field, so it is last minute if we decide to go to my grandmas or not. Most of the time dad says yes so we take the day off from the field which is nice. I love Thanksgiving- my grandma is an amazing cook! If the guys were going to stay in the field I was going attempt to cook the meal. I have started to like cooking. I always watch the Food Network Channel. There is nothing wrong with being a good cook! I also look forward to the parade every year. I have no idea why, I think it is because when I was little my mom would always wake us up to watch it. Just the thought of waking up earlier than I have to and curling up on the couch with a blanket and cup of coffee makes me very excited! My mom and I talked about going shopping on Black Friday but than my dad mentioned going to a hockey game so I have no idea what we are going to do. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

The Hunt Is On!

2009-11-10T15:41:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone- so I am originally from North Dakota and that means that deer season has begun! Well actually it opened last Friday but I did not get to go out. I usually go the last week. I tend to not see much until the Sunday that the seasons closes, just about the time when the sun is setting. Yes I wait until the last moment but have only been disappointed once with what I shot! I am very excited to go out this year. It is something that I look forward to all the time. To bad I only have the weekends to hunt. This year is even worse. I usually go out a few times to spot and see what is out there, but this year I will only have the last weekend. I am staying in Fargo this weekend for state football- my cousin is playing. O well, I know there are bucks out there I just have to find them. Besides that nothing is new. Still busy with school, but I think everything is starting to slow down so that will be nice. I am planning on working really hard on everything so I do not have alot of homework to work on over Thanksgiving. Lets see if I am actually motivated enough! Have a great week!

What should I do this weekend?? Stay up in Fargo for Halloween or go home for my brother football game. I would not go back for the game but they are making it so far this year it's exciting! If they win two more games they make it to state! We have never made it that far before so I kind of want to watch. On the other hand, it is Halloween so this weekend it may be fun to stay up here. I have no idea what to do. I'll just decide Friday morning. I wish I didn't feel to old to trick-or-treat. That was always fun. Haha I did it in high school up to my senior year, than got to college and decided I was to old.
On the other hand I talked to my dad this weekend and we figured out what to get my mom for Christmas. The problem is she always tends to figure out what we are getting her, even if we do not ask her for ideas. So I wonder if she will figure this one out. I hope not because she is gonna be so so so surprised. She never wants to spend money on herself so we always try to get something she wants but will not buy. But that is all I have to say for now so until next week......

And Classes Start Again...

2009-10-20T17:17:00.001-07:00

Back at school. We just had fall breather, and it was really nice to have last Mon and Tues off. I was able to go home, hang out with my family, and go to my brothers football game. After the break school got super busy. I have had three tests, quizzes and midterms the past few days. Many late nights and lots and lots of coffee! Now things are slowing down so it will get better. Halloween is just around the corner so that is exciting. Two friends and I are planning on carving pumpkins, making cupcakes, and watching Halloween movies on Thursday. I am pretty excited to take my mind of off school for a night. I do not remember a time when the only thing that I think about is school. I wake up in the middle of the night to go work on homework. This is not right, and I am getting super tired! But like I said, once this week is over it will get better.

Deer season also opens in the next couple weeks so I am looking forward to that. I'm not sure who I will be going hunting with, as my dad and brother will be in the fields forever it seems. Combining is not an option now because it rained alot back home. My mom does not think we will even get to celebrate Thanksgiving because we will be in the field. I volunteered to cook dinner so we will see!! Oh but I better say goodbye for the week so I can go study! Have a great week!!

My Week

2009-10-06T17:09:00.000-07:00

The weeks just seem to fly by. It is already midterm this week!! I just keep thinking classes just started. My friends are already booking flights and rooms for spring break. I have not even thought about spring break. I have been thinking of going to Nashville to visit my cousin, but March seems to far away to already get plane tickets. What is not far away is fall breather, and I am SO ready for a four day break. I am planning on getting all my homework done this week so when I am home I don't have to do anything. That is my plan but it will not happen. I tend to put homework off until the last possibly minute, which is never good. I did not do anything exciting this past week but homework, so my weekend was pretty boring. I am wondering though, if it will ever stop raining? Until next week!

Summer Adventures!

2009-09-29T16:50:00.000-07:00

For the past two years my family has really gotten into motorcylces. Harley Davidson to be exact. Right away I just rode on the back, but this year I decided to step it up and get my license! So yes, I am now a licensed motorcylce driver and I LOVE it! My brother and I took a class this summer while my parents were in Sturgis. We both passed and did the best in our class. The next step was to take the test. After that, we invested in a bike that we both share. It stays at home so I don't get to ride very often but the thought is still fun. We all have some Harley clothing, and I love going into the store to see what else I should buy. Of course being a college student does not allow me to buy much, but I have a Christmas list.

I was also able to travel to Missouri and Nashville over the summer. Not on the same trip either. One was towards the beginning of the break and the other was a week before classes started. After the big move my cousin now lives in Nashville. It was a fun trip and I can not wait to visit her soon. Have a great week everyone!

We're Back!!

2009-09-22T15:00:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! Classes have started up again and I am now into my Junior year. I will graduate next fall so I am scared and excited at the same time!! For me summer went by way too fast-I only got to the lake twice. I am usually at the lake every weekend so only twice is sad. But now fall is here and I am already busy with tons of homework. This past weekend I went to Julie and Julia for a History of Foods class. I absolutely loved the movie. I cannot wait to cook! I am going to buy a cookbook this week and cook my way through it. I am excited for that because I never cook. I make amazing cheesecake, but I don't cook. Homecoming is this week and Johnny Holmes is coming! I love his concerts so I am really looking forward to Thursday night. There have been activities going on all week. Have a great week everyone!

2009-04-29T14:35:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!
Well I hope everyone has had a good week. It has been and will continue to be a busy week. It's the last full week of class! I have papers to start and finish and tests to start studying for. I think I am going to lock myself in my apartment this weekend to start writing papers. I am still surprised that finals start next week and my sophomore year is almost over! I am very excited for this summer though- jet skiing, wake boarding, camp fires, and just the lake in general! I did have a job for this summer but the place that I worked at burnt down last week. So this summer will just be filled with class, the lake, and the fair. Have a great rest of the school year everyone!

2009-04-22T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! I hope everyone has had a great week. I have so much to do by the end of the semester, but I just do not want to start on anything. I have three big papers to write, and everyday this week, I just go home and watch tv or sit on the computer. I know it is all going to catch up with me so I am thinking maybe this weekend I will start. It is prom back at home this weekend and I am very excited to go see my younger high school friends all dressed up, and not to mention getting to see all of my classmates! I am also looking forward to watching my brother run in track when finals are over! He is a great runner so I am very excited to watch him. Have a great week!

2009-04-15T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hey,
Well it finally decided to get nice out! I went for a walk yesterday and a really long bike ride the day before. I would rather be doing something outside rather than sitting inside doing homework. And I two papers to write by the end of this week. I am very excited for the rest of school now, and I think it is because of the nice weather!! I defiantly gets me more excited more summer!! Going to the lake every weekend, wake boarding and jet skiing, state fair concerts!! I am excited for all of it! Well have a great week everyone and enjoy the wonderful weather!

2009-04-08T14:32:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!
What an interesting few weeks it has been! First we had spring break which was nice, than we came back to help sandbag, which a couple days it was nice but than it snowed for a few days, so it was very cold sandbagging. It was flizzarding out! haha oh North Dakota/Minnesota weather!! Now it may crest again, so we'll have to see what happens. On a happier note, the new wellness center opened on Monday and I am very excited to use it. Everything else has been going good, even thought school just started after a three week break! Well until next time, I hope everyone stays dry!

2009-03-11T14:33:00.000-07:00

Hey!
So we just had another big storm again!! Classes were cancelled yesterday and did not start until ten this morning so we had a snow day yesterday! It was nice to get a day off and just be lazy. But the snow was unbelievable-I have never seen drifts so high before! I did venture out last night when they advised not to and there were at least three cars stuck on the same road. O well it is MN and that is what I expect for winter. Next week is supposed to be though so that is exciting! Along with that news is March Madness which I look forward to every year. I can now cheer on NDSU along with KU!! Other than that Spring Break is coming up next week and the wellness center opened today so that is exciting news also! Have a great week everyone!!

2009-03-04T14:34:00.000-08:00

Hey!
So what a busy week it has been, or is going to be. I have one midterm tomorrow, two more tests on Friday, and a bunch homework to finish. O well everyone has busy weeks sometimes this is just mine. The good news is that next week is the last week and than it is spring break!! I am very excited to go skiing, although the drive is always very very long. It is going to be worth it though-skiing, snowboarding, and dog sledding! Well have a great week everyone!

Hi

2009-02-25T14:33:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!
So spring break is coming up in like 17 days! I am so excited for Big Sky and snowboarding and skiing and possibly dog sledding! Yes it will be very exciting!! Besides school, which is going good, I am job hunting for the summer. I am going back home for the summer and back home there is not much to choose from besides life guarding and being a CNA. I didn't finish my swimming lessons when I was younger so I couldn't be a life guard so I may become a CNA. Well thinking of getting a job makes me excited for summer- I can't wait for the lake!

Still Winter

2009-02-18T14:33:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!
So I thought the weather was going to get nicer but it hasn't. Still very very cold and giving tours are not as fun when everyone on the tour is freezing and just wants to walk really fast. Oh well, it's part of living in Minnesota. So I had my first Law test on Monday and got my grade back today and was so happy with what I got! It made my day. I am getting more and more excited for Spring Break! I don't have a count down, but we got the confirmation back so that's exciting!! Other than that it has been a good week so until next time, have a good week!

Test Week!

2009-02-11T14:49:00.000-08:00

Hey!
So to me it felt like spring this week with all the rain! But now it turned back to snow. O well, it is February so rain isn't expected now. I decided to take a night off of studying to go to a movie. I went to Taken and it was the best movie I have seen in awhile! It has been a busy week studying so the night off was good. I had my first test this week and I hope it went well. I handed in a lot of extra credit with it so I'm hoping it went good. I had another one scheduled for Friday but it got moved to Monday so I'm happy! Two more day to study! I always have to study really hard for the first test with a new professor because you never know what their tests are like.
Have a great week everyone!

winter

2009-02-04T14:32:00.000-08:00

So it seems like the temp just can't get above zero, and the windchill just makes it worse. I really don't mind the winter, I actually like it but not the freezing weather all the time. It was nice last week so snow started the melt, but now it seems like all the parking lots turned into ice. And it is thick ice, so I'm sure it will stay around for awhile. I also don't like how bad the roads get. So my boyfriend drives all the time because I get to scared that I'll hit ice and slide into someone or something. That is only on the drives home that he drives, otherwise I drive all the time. But I reallt do like winter and the snow. I'm vert excited to go skiing over spring break and we may be doing some dong sledding so that will be fun. Other than the cold temps, I really do like the winter and can't wait to enjoy the snow more than just walking from class to class. Next time I go home I get to go snowmobiling so that will be fun too.
Have a great week!!

what a great week!

2009-01-28T14:44:00.000-08:00

Hey!
It's almost Valentine's Day and I have no idea what to get my boyfriend! I love the day, but he does not as much. Oh well, it seems to be that way for most guys. My best friend is now engaged, and I am so happy for her!! I get to be the maid of honor and am very excited!! It is always on my mind and can't wait to see how everything turns out for her wedding. Another friend from back home had a baby last week, so that was also another highlight! Ki, is the cutest baby boy ever, and I wish her the best of luck with everything. She did end up in the ER a couples after the baby was born so I'm wishing her a speedy recovery. Other than that everything with school is going good!
Until next week...

2009-01-21T14:29:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!
The second week of school is going better than I expected! Classes are good and so are my professors. I did get to watch the inauguration when I got home from classes, and actually enjoyed it. I have never watched it before, and decided it would be something good to do besides sit on facebook. Besides that, everything is good. It was a BEAUTIFUL day today, but the news said it's going to get cold again. O well, eventually it will be nice again. I like the snow, but when it gets to be below zero, I would rather stay inside. Have a great week!

Welcome Back!

2009-01-14T14:37:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! Well the break is over and classes have started again. It was hard for me to come back but I'm happy to see my friends again. I enjoyed my 23 days off, even though I was stuck at home for most of it because of the snow storms! It is nice that there is no school on Monday but the next break after that is spring break which seems so far away. It's gonna be tough to get back in the school routine again but other than that classes should go good this semester! Now since Christmas break is over I am looking forward to going skiing at Big Sky during spring break! I already have homework and do not have much motivation to do it which is not good. I'll just have to get in the hang of it!
Have a great day!
