"No more school, No more books, No more teacher's dirty looks!"

So I am sitting in one of ISU's computer labs in the SUB (Student Union Building)and I thought to myself, I should update my blog...since it has been ages! Today was my last day of school! "Horrah- Horray, Ooh what a grandius day!" If you haven't noticed already I have been singing ridiculous little songs all morning! Today started out for me at 5:15am! After waking from a horrible night of no sleep. (Due to the fact that I watched this scary "hauting" show on Lifetime last night- Liftime! Of all the networks to watch a scary show on...anyways I watched it by myself and I freaked myself out!) So I couldn't sleep...the whole night I kept saying to myself, "Shalene, you know very well that you can't watch scary movies...and of all the nights to watch one...the night before your huge Geology Final!" I pretty much felt stupid lying there alone, in my dark room (actually I had to turn a lamp on- don't laugh!) feeling scared and stressed! Well after that restless night I rushed to Pocatello to take my last exam this sememster- my cursed Geology Final at 7:30am! Urgh! I'm not going to lie, I hated that class and probably skipped it one too many times- Oops! Well as I sat yesterday studying for this stupid class, I looked back and regreted all the times that I had "accidentally" slept in, or "happened to forget" that I had it. Well at exactly 10:00am I finished my Final! And it was a BEAR! I think that I failed it, but I have high hopes of pulling off a strong C in the class. For all of you who know me, you may be surprised by this story of my lack of being a good student, Well-Shalene Marie Summers skipped class and probably failed her final- meaning she will get a C in the class! But on the bright side of life- I am finally done with all of my generals! Woohoo!(that is if I didn't bomb that final too bad, it would be a nightmare if I had to take this class again!)
Finals week wasn't too bad. Lucky for me most of my teachers gave them early or said, "You have all worked extremely hard this semester so I am not going to have a final!" (I had TWO classes like that :) This week all I had to worry about was that stupid Geology class final, and two essay papers for my history class. I keep praying that the essays will help decifer between the borderline A/A- that I have currantly. Anyways...to make this long story a little bit shorter...I am extrememly excited to be done with school and ready to move to Milwaukee for the summer! 21 days left to departure! :)

A RaNdOm Look Into My Life!

Okay, so some of these pictures are a little crazy, but hey that is Me! Anyways, the first one I am at one of my friends b-day party and they made smoothies...I was trying to pull off a Zoolander Model pose- I thought that the look would have helped me make it to America's Top Model...Maybe? The second, is just the roomies and I- I didn't get the memo to be gangsta, I just looked confused? Lastly, I am playing "M&M Bowling" I had to bowl between a guys legs- he was a little scared...okay really scared (you would think that he didn't trust me?) P.S. I only bowled once- I absolutely HATE bowling, if I had to choose to go bowling or scrub the toilet- I would scrub the toilet!

Campaign Poster

Senator Shalene Summers

This was the picture I used on my campaign posters...I thought that I looked "teacher-ish" and looked good!

ISU's Elections...It was the best of times- it was the worst of times!

By looking at these pictures you probably thought to yourself, "What in heaven's name is Shalene doing? Is she about to leave on a trip in which she had to pack? Is she moving?" Well the answer is NO! I may or may not have walked all around campus lugging that rolling suitcase filled with 100 water bottles! No, I am not overly concerned with people's hydration, It was Election time at ISU. About a couple months ago I decided to run for College of Education Senator, and so not only did I hang numerous campaign posters all over campus- but I handed out fruit snacks and water bottles. Don't think that my life for the past TWO weeks have been totally dedicated to meeting people and trying to convince them to vote for me. On Tuesday,I woke up stressed out wondering how in the world I was going to get through everything that I had to do that day. I had a huge history test (which I might add, I rocked!)also a study group at lunch, my BIG teaching interview (that is why I wore a dress all day) to get accepted into the Education Program, and in between all of that openly campaign- handing out water bottles. Lugging around a suitcase would have to be one of those things I probably will not do ever again- I got the craziest looks and comments. To be honest I am quite sure some people swore at me, cat called, and whispered behind my back...but as soon as I gave them a water bottle- it was all good! This experience has been a great one and I am super excited for next school year's ASISU Government...I pretty much think that I am going to rock the Senate meetings!
