In honor of Baylor basketball this week we will not be having things you shouldn't name your kid
We will instead have Things to name your kid if you want them to be bad ass.
LaceDarius
Dragan
Ekpe
Xavier (pronounced Zah-v-a)
Tyshawn
And well if you have a girl, sorry I can't actually think of any really bad ass girl names.
Anyway, there will be another update after this weekend of 21st birthday festivities I'm sure but last weekend was the weekend of basketball. It is March madness after all...
Baylor mens basketball played in both the sweet sixteen and elite eight this weekend and I watched both games. Friday after hiking we had a basketball watch party for the Baylor v St. Marys game. I made wings, it was epic. Well the wing making anyway, they turned out spectacularly there were three flavors of awesomeness and everyone enjoyed them. We also made queso and had diet coke. So Me, Brooke, Laura, Reagan, Jenny, and Katie watched the domination over St. Marys. Sunday Laura, Reagan, and I watched the Duke game. We had pizza and wings while we watched. It was an intense game, and by the end we were all yelling at the tv. Sadly we lost but we got a lot of support on Twitter from Diddy and other people who enjoyed our basketball team. The men may not be going to the final four but the women are! So Sic'em Bears!
Saturday I spent the whole day in College Station working as a rep for LOreal promoting their new face wash. It was the longest day ever, 14 hours of work and driving both ways. It was a lot of fun and we got paid well so it was worth it. It was an interesting day, something I wouldn't mind doing again.

Movies, March Madness, Mexican Food, Martinis
- First you shouldn't name your kid Uchechukwu, I mean really what person is going to be able to pronounce that?
- Second, if you have a name like the above person don't act angry and upset when I pronounce it wrong on the phone. I guarantee no one is going to get it right the first time.
- If you don't want to come to Baylor just tell me, I won't take offense, don't try to awkwardly carry on a conversation you have no interest in for 3 minutes.
- Playing Would You Rather Robert Pattinson edition makes work infinitely more fun. We've come up with some good ones lately. Like Cowboy v Pirate or Football player v. Baseball player
Speaking of names, after an episode of the trashyness that is Maury that Emily watched we have decided to rename Jasper. He is now L'Ja$per. It sounds more gangsta.
Such a good weekend! Both for Baylor Basketball and for Friends.
Friday after class was over Ashley, Chance, and I took Lucy and went to Cameron Park to go hiking. So much fun! It was really pretty out and hiking to the top of the lookout areas gave us such a pretty view! It was a lot of fun, and could quite possibly become a weekly tradition especially now that it stays light longer. We even got to climb some cool rocks. Next week our goal is to hike some of the expert and difficult trails now that I found us a map. After hiking we went to Casa Ole for dinner and spent awhile there. We came back and watched Jawbreaker, Dazed and Confused and the original Power rangers which comes on at like 5am!
Saturday Brooke, Reagan, Laura and I drove to Austin for the afternoon to see The Runaways, which is about Joan Jett and Cherie Currie and has Dakota Fanning and K.Stew in it. It was pretty good, lots of drugs and rock and roll. It's so weird to see Dakota in such a grown up role I remember when she was a little kid. While we were at the movie Baylor men's basketball beat Old Dominion, and KU lost. Sic'em bears, sweet sixteen! We were all very excited and went out for mexican food at La Margarita in Round Rock. We continued our movie marathon with Adventureland and Whip It. To go with the movies we made really fun martinis. All in all it was a great evening.
Today has pretty much been about working, I had dinner with Jenny, Brooke and Reagan and now I'm studying. Ten days left! Planned out my birthday last week :)

Is it really almost time to graduate!?
Today amongst the mass emails from Baylor all juniors got an email about graduation. Graduation is 14 months away. Apparently it's already time to start thinking about it, and not just the fun parts like ordering announcements, and parties, and cap and gown but the scary growing up parts too. It just seems like its looming now, I've been looking at classes for next semester lately (I sign up at the beginning of April) and it's weird to think that I'll only do that one more time here at Baylor. I don't feel like I've been here long enough to leave yet...
So of I read the email and it's all avout submitting graduation forms starting in July and getting degree audits turned in and how if you screw this up you can't graduate and of course I'm then totally freaking out hoping I'm not going to accidentally have missed some stupid class I was supposed to take and not be able to graduate. So now on top of all my homework and tests this week I'm thinking about graduation and all the stuff I have to get figured out in the next year. So now I feel totally overwhelmed because somehow between work and volunteering and school work I need to start studying for the GRE and contacting grad programs and really thinking about schools and applications all the while trying to pass the classes I'm actually taking now and trying not to ruin my GPA in the process. Is there a way to stop sleeping to have more hours in the day? Haha, no seriously.
Being a college student is starting to be no fun anymore. I'm slowly realizing that I have no real plan for the rest of my life. I'm graduating with a degree in psychology which is basically worthless without a PhD, and I'm thinking I should have followed the smart path and majored in business or education something with a guaranteed job. I don't know anything about supporting myself or finding a job, or paying for any of the things I don't currently pay for. I don't even feel like I'm old enough to be thinking about any of this stuff, it's just surreal how fast college has flown by. I mean I know I have a year, but two semesters isn't much and a lot of post graduation stuff needs to be done or at least started next fall. It's too bad we don't get a year of chill time after schools over to figure stuff out without having to grow up and live in the real world. I still want to travel and have some fun before worrying about a job or grad school- which doesn't sound too appealing right now. I mean really who wants to finish school and go back for another five years?

Back in Waco
"I can totally see you getting out of the shower in that" - Jason while we were at target buying towels. We then found out three people can get in a "bath sheet" at once haha.
Spring Break is over, and it's back to school time. 18 days till my birthday and another break from school! It's been so nice not to have work or school or anything for the past week, I'm so not ready to be back to studying and tests.
Here's the Spring Break rundown:
Emily, Jasper and I road tripped to Houston and had dinner with my parents. Then we went to Movie Tavern to visit our favorite bartender Bobby and to Studio to say hello. We hung out with Morgan and Chris later that night. The next day we went to the outlet mall to go shopping, Coach was having a sale and I bought a dress at BCBG. We spent a day with Emily's family, and went to dinner with them. We went to the museum Tuesday and saw the Magic exhibit which was really cool. There were videos of different performers and props and stuff.
Wednesday and Thursday were the rodeo days. Wednesday was Rascal Flatts, they were ok in concert, not that great as most of their songs are slower and they don't really have an exciting stage presence. Kristin and I ran around the carnival and rode some rides that night and then we got corn with Ashley after the concert and ran into Chris and Lauren in line for the bus. On the bus ride home some drunk lady in front of us threw up into the bus trashcan. We also saw some girl in tacky gold boots and short shorts almost get hit by the railroad warning bar as it was coming down. She was drunk, and after the cop pulled her out of the way she proceeded to pull out her camera and take "myspace" photos of herself and the cop. She also jumped on him and hugged him. Needless to say the rodeo brings out the trash in people. We also saw four sixteen year old girls, one looking like Snookie from Jersey Shore, two had bandannas as shirts pinned to their strapless bras and the fourth was wearing cutoff shorts and a bandanna bra... Trash. Thursday we went down early and rode all the rides at the carnival, and walked around the livestock show. We also saw pig races and a swimming pig. That was the most entertaining thing all afternoon. Then we watched all the rodeo events and saw Brad Paisley who was amazing. He ran around and interacted with the audience and gave away guitar picks - so good.
Friday Emily, Ashely and I went to the beach. It was windy which was annoying but I love the beach so it was worth it. Funniest moment that day was when the blanket, which had a bunch of sand on it blew off the ground and the sand went all over Ashley. She was wearing a fleece so it stuck to her and she looked like a sand monster. We went to the lego store and freebirds on the way home. Saturday night we went to Southbeach for Madonnaramma to celebrate Chris's 21st birthday. It was a lot of fun, we saw some really entertaining people there. Lots of people dressed like Madonna and some really entertaining shirtless guys and an awkward dancing threesome. There was also a sketch old Asian man who kept dancing on people.
Today we got up and drove back to Waco, and I've been watching tv and studying all afternoon.
Scariest thing we saw over break --->

Just a short blog for the week, a longer update will come after Spring break. The last week was pretty uneventful. Mostly I just worked on a research paper, and took two major tests. So nothing at all exciting or fun. I am glad Sing is over. It was a lot of fun but having free time is amazing! I spent a lot of extra time at Waco Center for Youth last week hanging out with the kids and had so many more hours to do homework and study. I also learned that Steve from Blue's clues now does music. He has a myspace page and everything. So he's obviously pretty legit, you can google Steve Burns if you really want to see.
Anyway I'm in Houston now with Emily for Spring break. We got here yesterday and will be here all week. Today we built my entire Harry Potter lego castle.
It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I feel very accomplished. We also went to the outlet mall today. I got a dress for formal at BCBG and a pair of jeans there too. Coach was having a "take an additional 20% off" sale so of course I found something to buy there. Sunglasses and a new purse. So the shopping trip was successful. We also took Jasper out to play in the yard and he almost got in a fight with Ribbon. So all in all it was a good day.
At the mall today we saw this...
A lady with a dog in a baby carrier. It was strapped to the front of her body like a baby and she was carrying it around in stores with her. To make things worse the dog had sunglasses that strapped onto it's head and under it's chin. It also had a bow making its hair stick up and a strange colorful things around it's neck. Sick, I feel bad for people's animals.
Anyway I'll leave you with this
Something you shouldn't name your kid...
Kwadernica
Exactly how do you pronounce this name?!
