Stephanie Springer Reporting for Western Iowa Tech Weather!!

My roommate Jackie and I have been talking at 11:13 we went our separate ways, she was going to bed and I was going to finish watching a movie with Travis.  Twenty minutes later I hear my name, I asked Travis if he heard it and he said no.  Then I heard Stephanie go look out youwindow.  So I did and it took me awhile to figure it out that that that it was......................SNOW!!!  You got it our first snow fall.  YAY!  After I yelled snow Jackie did her grumbling and saying that she hopes it stops.  I came in my room and took the screen off my window and open my window, took take pictures.  My boyfriend didn't think it was a smart idea.  So he was holding on to my pants loop.  So hear are the pictures I took.  They are dark, and I am sorry.  I hope you enjoy them.  I am going to go finish that movie and say goodbye to Travis.  Bye Bye.  

P.S. Chill is a sleep right know but I know in the morning she is going to be THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

If you are reading this you may be thinking "OH MY GOSH."  It is OK, I deserve that.  So don't pass out yet until you finish reading this.    

For one I moved into the "New not done dorms” at Western Iowa Tech, on August 17th.  The 20Th I started my second year.  But in am still kind of a freshman.  Last year second semester I was sitting in Graphic Design listing to how you have to come out with this great advertisement ads etc.  It wasn't what i want to do.  I want to be a photographer and I was just not happy.  So I am taking my Generals to transfer to Morningside College in the fall of 2009.  Classes are going OK.  They are classes.  I am struggling in my German.  But I will get a hang of it soon.  I am taking two classes at school, German and Basic Math.  As of right know I am taking two classes online but tomorrow it going to be one.  For the last three weeks I been really struggling with this teacher and today it just got worse.  Their no way I can pass it know.  So it won’t hurt my GPA I am dropping it.  I don't want to because i am really not a quieter.  There are times I give up for a while but I get right back to it and get it right.  So I am not really happy about that. But oh well.  At least I am going to have more time to hang out with my friends.  I really couldn't do that before.  The class I drop was World Religion, Environmental Sciences is my other online class.  The new dorms are almost done.  We are moving Monday Night.  I guess I am on the third floor with Jackie.  I think, we really don't know.

On the same day that I moved to Western Iowa Tech, that night I had my first photography job.  A good friend of the family's had an open house, and I asked me to take pictures for her.  I am not really impressed with my work.  For my first job it wasn't to bad.  I know what I need to work on next time.  DeDe the lady i took the pictures for she seems to really enjoy them.  Speaking of jobs I have a job interview at 3:00 today for sears photo center.  I am so nervous.  

On Labor Day Travis and I went to Pameria Bread to get bread bowls.  And we went to Bacon Park for our picnic.  It was really windy and there was a bee.  After that we watched a movie and he went to his dorm to do homework.

September 17, my mom and me went to go see Chicago.  It was so awesome.  I think it was better then Rent.  Chicago was so funny.  I am glad my mom came with me and I am glad she enjoyed it.  The stage had a awesome setup.  The band was actually on stage.  It was really cool.  It was really really close to the movie.  

September 29, at 4:00 I moved into my new dorm room.  I really went for a upgrade.  I am in a RA suite.  No, I am not in a Ra suite.  I want to share a living area with her and this was the only why I could be.  We both have our own bathroom and bedrooms.  Every one has their own bed room but not their own bathroom.  I will get a video up of my room tomorrow.  

 Well, I hope you didn't pass out.  I will up load more now that I have time and desk.

Travis 19th Birthday

I took Travis to the zoo for his birthday. Thursday was his b-day. We had a lot of fun and we got rained on. Which was no fun. But we kinda thank god for that because it was nice after words. It wasn't really hot. It was just right. We spent five hours at the zoo. He had a blast. Oh yeah we got a tiger umbrella. I am glad he liked it. After the zoo we went and eat at Panera Breads. Oh mean I am in love with their food. It is really yummy. After that we went home. Then on Friday his family had a birthday party for him. We went to go see WALLE. I am in love with that move it is really cute. It makes you think more and more. Their is talk that we might see it again. We I will talk to you later.
