Bored at school... what else is new?

So here I am bored at school again. Waiting for the grades to be posted for the tests I took today and I decided to publish a new blog post!

I am really excited for this August although it will be hectic. Starting with this Saturday (the first of August), Kat and I are heading to Six Flags to use our season passes for an amazing 2nd time since we got them! LOL! I am super stoked that we are going back because I must get me roller coaster fix before school starts up for the fall!

Next week is the end of Summer II classes and I can not wait! It seemed like the second summer semester lasted WAY too long. That maybe because I took 3 classes this semester. BLAH!

Next weeked Vacation with the Symank family in Amarillo. I can't wait. It seems like I haven't really had the opportunity to spend time with everyone between school and studying... I hope the weekend will be relaxing for the most part.

Then the 10th I leave for FW to stay with a friend then leave for Washington DC the next morning! I am going to Grand Chapter Congress with a few of my Deltasig brothers and I am really excited. GCC is very important in my fraternity (Delta Sigma Pi) and I can't wait. I am also lucky that I am on the Ritual team and will help initiate future Brothers!

DC for 6 days then a week break AND then Fall classes begin. I hop I will be able to flow this fall semester but not only do I have classes but I'm also the Vice-President of Professional Activities in my fraternity so I will be doing a lot of planning!

Well with me luck for the rest of the summer and the beginning of the fall and I will post again as soon as I have time! (*Crosses fingers and hopes that she will have time to breathe!)

Summer school and slow days.

So it's been a while since I have posted. Mainly because nothing really exciting had happened. At the end on the Spring Semester I was nominated Vice-President of Professional Activities for my fraternity, it's pretty cool but I am going to have to stay on top of it to get good grades AND organize professional activities.

Now I am in summer school and so far it's been uneventful. So far summer has been slow but I am okay with that as last semester I felt extremely overwhelmed. I will be posting again soon as Sunday is Matt and my 1 year anniversary! I can't believe it's been a year already! Time flies...

Until next time, God Bless!

About the sickly-ness

I didn't end up going to the dr. cuz this crap is finally going away. The only thing I am left with is a stuffy/ runny nose (depending on the weather- I know, weird!) and my ears are still a little stuffy. Hopefully it will be completely gone soon.

Sickly but still able to get around!

This was an interesting week. I felt amazing the beginning of this week, so much so that I worked out and danced. But that all went south on Wednesday. Wednesday I started feeling badly and Friday night my sickness came to a peak. I coughed to much that I didn't sleep well and Matt was obviously super tired cuz he slept like a rock that night. My Saturday consisted of watching movies, doing part of a puzzle and drinking hot green tea. I had a fever around 3 Saturday but it got better after a good nap. I am feeling a bit better but my nose is congested and so are my ears. I am having so much stouble hearing today! BLAH!

Despite me being sick I am in Wichita Falls right now. About to do interviews for Delta Sigma Pi. Next week is my test to get initiated in to Delta Sigma Pi and I can't wait! I am super stoked to be able to hang out with these people and be involved more with the school. They are all really nice and fun. I just wish I felt better today so I could be better company.

Tomorrow I am going to the doctor and we will see exactly what is wrong with me. Fingers crossed that it isn't anything that won't go away fast!

New decisions... no London...

So Matt and I have made a new decision... no London. Which is fine with me as I can't go to London and get a car in the same year! It just isn't feasible. But that is cool with me. A new car will be just what I need as I fear that the Orange P.O.S. is will break down any day now.

Also on the Delta Sigma Pi front... I have met my Big! The person that will help me learn about Delta Sig and answer any questions I have... his name is Walter and he is awesome! Well that is all for now. More posts later!

Wow! Today has been a weird and wonderful day!

After much discussion Matt has finally agreed to let me apply for the summer British Studies program! Actually he said we will look into it but I am hoping for the best. I would be studying International Issues in Business at (I believe) Queen Mary University in London. I really hope I can talk Matt into it!

AND

Today I recieved my acceptance to formally pledge for Delta Sigma Pi. For those who don't know Delta Simga Pi is the co-ed business fraternity on campus. This is the first semester I have had the time to pledge and I am so excited! I have already met so many great people I hope to meet a lot more!

Things are looking up for me... today at least... and I will keep you updated with any new happenings!

A little about Jenni and Matt...

Matt was born and raised in Olney, Texas and has been a hard-working guy that loves to learn. Matt is a really amazing guitar player and is currently in a band called The Falls County Band. I must admit they are really good. Matt, as I said, loves to learn and is currently teaching himself to speak German and play the steel guitar. He wants us to have a happy and comfortable life so he works many long hours (many times going in at 7am) at Air Tractor, Inc. where he is in the purchasing department.

I was born in Wichita Falls, Texas but was raised in Olney. I am a very happy-go-lucky person that rarely gets angry. I am currently attending my third year at Midwestern State University persuing a degree in Business management. I used to be a dancer at Renee's Dance Factory in Graham and I still love to dance. That's one of the hobbies that I know I will never give up. I love to read, take pictures, sew, watch movies, being outdoors and hangout with my family and friends. At the moment I am a substitute teacher with Olney ISD and am currently working in the daycare with my sister-in-law Amber. I love the kids and will be a bit sad when I am done there.

Matt and I began dating July 4th, 2005. I knew he would be a good boyfriend after he put himself between me and a few of my drunken firework-throwing buddies. He asked me to marry him in the Fall of 2007 and we were wed on June 28, 2008. He and I plan on waiting to have kids for a while. At least until I graduate and have a steady job. We live in a cute house in Olney and plan on being there for a bit. We also recently bought a puppy... well if you can call a 25 pound 5-month-old-dog a puppy! His name in Jager and he is a German short-haired Pointer. I must admit he is a cutie!

Well that's all for now! More to come soon!

The First Blog...

So here we go... I am Jennifer D Symank. Formerly Jennifer D. Perez before getting married to Matt S. Symank on June 28, 2008. I will probably be the one writing most of the blogs as Matt doesn't generally get into this kind of stuff.

At the moment I am in the Dillard College of Business at Midwestern State University at the internet cafe. I'm waiting for my next class to start (at 5:30) and it's quite boring here. I am excited though that I get to use the internet because Matt and I don't have internet at home... we also are without cable. At times I feel like I am going to go insane without a view into the "outside world" but all in all I don't miss it too terribly much.

After thought: For the record I want to state that, at the moment, I don't know how I am going to use my college degree and that really worries me.
