Reality Television

I don't watch much t.v but when I do watch, most of the time it's reality t.v. It seems like this year's reality stuff was a blur to me because I was so busy and exhausted from internship. I do remember the winners of the reality shows. 

My all time favorite would be Survivor. I used to think it was some dumb show where people went to exotic places and ate bugs. Ha, was I wrong. This show is very challenging, and full of drama. I'm not big on drama, no way. But watching other people's drama is pretty hilarious. They get so mad at each other because they lie and stab each other in the back. Um, Hello??? That's what survivor is about! Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. 

The Amazing Race is just as drama-filled, but the challenge is more on my level, and something that I would actually take on. I'm not much of an outdoorsy person, but traveling I will do any day! These two-person teams go across the world taking on challenges to win money. Who wouldn't wanna do that? Travel the world on money that you are given, just to win money. Yes, please! I think for my two-person team, I would take my Momma. 

Of course I like American Idol. I have watched it for years. I don't vote as much as I used to. I found that my vote really don't count, or some people would have never left the show. Anyway, some favorites coming out of Idol are David Cook, Chris Daughtry, Jordan Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, and the two newby's.... Colton Dixon and Phillip Phillips. I'm glad Phil won this season, but I was definitely pulling for Colton. 

I have grown to like The Voice. I can't decide if I actually like it for the show, or that Adam is just so dang cute. I pull for his team every time. This year, most of those singers were terrible. I pulled for Tony Luca, and the guy that won this year....he was on Blake's team. 

The Bachelorette cracks me up. I don't always watch the show. I didn't watch the last season of The Bachelor. I really liked Emily when she was on Brad's season, so I thought I'd watch to see what happens to her. I hate that she is on the show. I think she is way to sweet for that. She can do better than that show. But, I have a couple of favorite guys. Jef, Doug, Charlie, and I did like Ryan until he wrote her that book. So Ryan is on the fence for now. 

Another show that I absolutely love is Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Food+Travel=My Dream. I would love to have Guy's job!!! Who could ask for a better job than his, I mean seriously. I never get tired of watching him eat tons of different foods. I watched his season of Food Network Star, and I liked him on there. 

Since the original cast is graduating, I'm not sure if I'll keep watching Glee. I love that show, but I am also all about original cast members when it comes to shows like that. Kinda like the Boy Meets World thing.... They kept the same characters the whole time the show was on. I love that show :)

I'm glad that it is summer time, and the television shows end. More time to enjoy other things instead of worrying about catching up on DVR, ha!

Post Grad

Last weekend was very eventful and lacking sleep. It was pretty amazing, and something I will never forget.

My weekend started on Thursday (May 10th) with me going to the school I interned at for the 4th grade field day. I stayed outside with the kids and teachers all day. The kids had a blast! I loved being there watching them and talking with my teacher. Afterwards, my friend Kaci wanted to take graduation pictures to promote her business. It was so much fun laughing and hanging out with her! She has only posted two pictures as a sneak peak, and is giving me the disk with all the pictures on it soon.





I can't wait to see the rest of them. She did some cap and gown ones too!

Friday, mom and I went shopping for her a new outfit for graduation. It was so much fun! We haven't been shopping just the two of us in forever! When we got back, my brother and I headed to Nashville for a concert! He bought tickets to see Halestorm, Staind, and Godsmack for my graduation gift! Talk about amazing! I took pictures, but you can't really tell anything about them because we were not on the floor or anything. I love Staind, and have always wanted to see them in action!

The concert ended around midnight, and we got home around 3 am. I got ready for bed, and fell asleep around 4:30. I got back up at 5:30 to get ready to drive to Athens. We left around 6:30 because I had to be there at 8. Graduation was wonderful. I cried....a lot....but I wasn't the only one. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with Cum Laude honors. Graduating college is something I've always wanted to do, and I finally did it. It is something to accomplish a long-term goal such as this. It is still a little unbelievable a week later!











My wonderful Grandma

My uncle :)

Candace came too!



**Happy dance**


The job hunt has started. Here where I live, it's not a good thing to be graduating with an Education degree. No one is retiring, and there are so many graduates looking for a teaching position. It's gonna be hard, but I'm not being picky about where I go for a job. I will take whatever I can get, and work my way to the position I want! 

As this chapter of my life comes to a close, I begin to wonder what is to come in the next chapter. I always think about the future. I like being in control of things, and knowing what's going to happen. It feels like I'm back in an open field with so many paths around me, and I'm waiting to find out which path is meant for me! I'm excited to see what's going to happen, and anxiously awaiting the results.

Weekend Randoms

I have had a relaxing weekend which is very odd for me! I am back to working full time, so I actually had a Saturday off which I didn't ask for. Wohoo! I put in 40 hours at that "C" this week. Bring on the moo-lah!

Yesterday, I was in and out of the house. It's hot down here in Northern Bama, and allergy season doesn't seem to cease, so of course I couldn't stay outside ALL day. I should have been laying out working on my tan, but Dad was mowing.
ME +FRESH CUT GRASS=DISASTER
Anywho, I had a hair appointment yesterday. I decided to go back to my dark color. I text a co-worker and said::: I'm back in black!!

I like it both lighter brown with caramel colors in it, but I also like the dark brown.....almost black color. So for graduation, It'll be dark :))
I don't have any pictures of it right now, but I will next weekend!

I joined Kelly's Korner linkup the other day, and wow at all the other awesome bloggers who joined as well!! What's even cooler is, I found ONE other blogger who is in Scottsboro, Alabama!! I don't know this blogger either, which is ever more awesome!! I have a new follower too!! Welcome Miss Heather from Cleveland, Georgia! Nice to "meet" you neighbor :))

Pinterest has consumed my free time. I am so freakin' addicted!! Check out my boards sometime!!

I also created a twitter account, although I'm not sure why. I have NO idea how to use it. I don't know anyone who has one. But I'm hoping maybe that will change soon! 

 I hope this week goes by so fast! Next weekend is going to be amazing! Friday, I go to Nashville with my Bro for a concert. Staind, Godsmack, and Halestorm!! Staind is my favorite, I don't listen to Godsmack, and I've seen Halestorm before. Then Saturday is the big day!!! I graduate from Athens State University!! I can't believe I am saying that!!

Here is a new picture of Mr. Bentley.....

Oh yeah, he is definitely ready for some football!! Roll Tide!!!
