bake a cake.

well friends, i have completed my paper, on my own time, not according to the library's helpful timeline. but i do want to bake a cake like it told me to--so if you want to eat it, let me know. i may even give you the power to decide what kind of cake i make.

*UPDATE. this cake above.

this man is great. i love watching him. and watching the royals win.

on another note, my summer looks to have some trips in it, which will be exciting and give me someone/thing to look forward to. I bought my very first plane ticket all by myself last night to D.C. for the fourth of july. I am really looking forward to it. Now is the time to travel, i'm in college, I'm not tied down to anyone/thing and so i have decided to take advantage of it.

its rainy this week, and i want to play golf.

thats all.

spring madness.

it has started. it comes every year around this time. spring madness is what i like to call it, and i'm not a part of it.

which is fine, i don't think i want to be a part of it-but it is getting to me. friends getting engaged, dating, and having love interests all around them, it creates one of the loneliest feelings in the world for those not in it. it is reminding me that i am looking for things on this earth to make me happy, to fulfill my selfish desires, and the more i think about it and ponder it and talk about it, the deeper i go into loneliness. then i read this.

There are many such beliefs which must be removed-for example, that God removes a child because his mother loves him too much. That is the devil’s lie and a travesty on the true nature of God! If the devil can hinder us from taking the supreme climb and getting rid of our wrong traditional beliefs about God, he will do so. But if we will stay true to God, God will take us through an ordeal that will serve to bring us into a better knowledge of Himself.

i need to do this. obey God and trust him, knowing that he has this great love story out there for me, and when my heart is ready again, he will take me on that journey. I can't compare myself to anyone else, and I need to fully rely on God. Sometimes living in a house with 75 other women though gets to me. thats all i'm saying.

not doing things.

does anyone want to write a paper for me? i think it is silly that the library closes at 5 on saturdays- i mean HELLO. we are in college. thats what we do.

my paper is already 4 pages, but i have nothing else to say, i feel like i am starting to repeat myself.

summer is crazy soon-this is coming out of no where. at first i am excited, but then i think about it, and am not. that is because no one will be in KC this summer. and i have class at 8am at JUCCO. i should have thought this through. OH well.

well, i a hope i am fooling my friend who thinks that I am typing my paper, but am really posting this worthless post that has no substance. yay for college.

love for all.

this is what i have been doing.

hello blog world.

i recently downloaded last.fm-go there, it is like pandora but greater. and it tells you fun facts about yourself, like this is what it has told me about me.

•I have played David Crowder Band 1,155 times from my itunes. that is a lot of david crowder.

• after DCB comes Rascal, John Mayer and then Shane and Shane.

•My top track played is From The Inside Out by Hillsong, which has been played 103 times.

thats all. i have not figured out all that last.fm offers, but it is way fun.

another thing i have been doing-surfing the web on an ethernet cable cause my wireless decided to stop working-great. oh well, it gives me more time to work on this paper.

my summer seems to be falling together, thanks to my dad. here is what i think i am going to do--please comment and say if you would support this, or think it is a terrible idea.

PLAN:

My father has a lot of furniture he needs to sell. this furniture is lightly used, in model homes, and would be sold at a very discounted price. My job would be to run the business, make the ads, get the word out, and be at the store and sell the stuff. Would you buy it? It is a risk, but life is about taking chances right? unclear. but i think that it would be a good fit for my summer, cause then i could still

a)take pastry school classes at JUCCO

b)go to the royals games...alone cause no one will be in KC-but i won't touch on that.

c)visit people in

1)Manhattan

2)Branson?

3) D.C.?

d) go to the lake.

e) golf--once again, alone, but it will be fine. i will make friends or something.

f)babysit my little sophie.

thats what i have been thinking. and doing. and living.

thanks for reading.

busyness.

there is this great thing called sunshine.

and it comes once tricia starts getting busy.

this is upsetting because then i can't enjoy it.

coming up in the next couple weeks.

• extension of the greek community- which i get to choose, so this requires meetings and gatherings.

• 20-30 page paper due. remember that one time i posted about how the library so kindly gave me a schedule? well, i completed the last step many times, but have not done all the steps before, --go back and refer to that post to see what it was...

• finding a plan for my summer*-including driving to KC to apply at j.crew. and getting my computer hopefully fixed.

• farm day. enough said.

• golfing. please.

so all, enjoy the weather, while i, for the first time in the semester have to be a student.

tricia.

*plan for summer-half way completed- i am enrolled in JUCCO pre-rec's for pastry school. last one in the class-i think it is a sign from God.

eleven.

i had a great weekend. i have great friends. this is why.

1. many of them stayed in town on friday night and went out to dinner for my birthday, i really appreciated this.

2. they supplied me with lots of water/bread during the night and made sure i didn't make a fool of myself. which (i don't think) i did. so thank you greatly.

3. they made me a way cool shot book that is so fun and i will love it forever. and they put quotes in it.

4. they came to the royals game with me. and it was cold. but so fun.

5. they are just so great.

i had a great birthday, and Easter weekend. I have great friends and family, and love them all. so thank you so much-and see you at the bars.

haha just kidding-really.

i just had to put it cause its legal now.

some unfortunate things.

i think my bladder is getting smaller by every sleeping moment. (and i sleep a lot, so you should probably be concerned.) this is only unfortunate because i sleep on the top bunk, and its a huge hassle to get out of bed 2-3 times in the night to visit the restroom. so bunkmate i am sorry for this.

its all cold and rainy. but my birthday is tomorrow, so everyone should be happy, even if the weather doesn't let you be.

better things that have happened recently:

the Royals won last night. 2-0. dear zack greinke, you are very socially awkward but an amazing pitcher, so i love you.

the masters start today. they are on ESPN360.com, so i can watch them during class.

my 3:55 class today: cancelled. so i can watch them live on a couch in kappa.

my birthday is tomorrow-while (secretly) i hate my birthday cause i don't like being the center of attention, i am excited to get to hang out with friends and celebrate me being 21. i don't know what events will really go on...but i think my dad is convinced i am going to go crazy. so watch out---?

ok. this weekend enjoy:

my birthday

the masters

the royals

the hannah montana movie

easter.

the T.I. song "dead and gone" its my new favorite.

(i will be enjoying all of these things)
