So I just talked to a girl I was BEST friends with in high school, Lindsay. I miss her sooo much. We were just talking about our lives and things that our going on with us. We are making plans to hangout soon. I miss the ease of those friendships. It was so easy to just hangout when we didn't have different goals and ambitions. I mean don't get me wrong, I love where I am in life, but I long for just a moment of those days again...going driving, siting in our rooms having nothing better to do than stare at the wall. I have everything I could want at this point in my life...except the friends I miss the most. Why can't life always be like a Sunday afternoon??

I am soo excited...tonight heather and I and bunch of her friends are going out to celebrate her birthday which was earlier this week. It's gonna be so much fun. I havent been to the bar since Riley left so it should be fun to see all the regulars. I am the designated driver tonight so I'll probably just have one drink. I'm just happy for heather cause she deserves a night completely revolving around her...She's the BEST! Later gators.

So school is going ok.
I got a 90 on my Communication test and I got a 96 on my Sociology test. I got advised today and I can start scheduling classes on the 3rd, I believe. So right now I just need to study for my Spanish test tomorrow...a British Lit. test next wednesday and a History test next Thursday and begin to prepare my research for my Sociology presentation on November 6. Wow...lots of stuff. Then this Saturday we are going out to celebrate Heather's (unlikelyoilfieldwife) birthday.

Riley comes home in 11 days. I'm ready for him to be back. I don't know what it is but when he is around I feel like I don't stress as much. Blegh.

It's cold outside and I'm starting to get the sniffles.

So yesterday I hung out with my sister-in-law...She wasn't feeling too well so I gave her some company and Nyquil. I also gave her an early birthday present...a pashmina scarf..she loves them. So yeah...I wasn't very productive yesterday..unless you count school and work. I did study for my sociology exam which I think I just made a 100 on. I thought it was gonna be a lot harder than it was so I think I went in overly ready...but hey, no harm in that right? I will hopefully be getting my communications test back today...I think I did very well on it. Guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Soo thanks to my sister (unlikelyoilfieldwife), I have all kind of fun stuff on my blog...I now have sitemeter and entrecard. They are really cool applications. Check them out.




I miss this boy so much!! My baby.

Im pretty sure this is the cutest thing ever!

I feel like such a slacker lately. I feel like I suck at everything. I feel like nothing is as important as it used to be. I'm tired ALL of the time. I feel like no matter how much sleep I get, it's never enough. Things really don't interest me anymore. It takes everything out of me to get out of bed in the morning. I skipped my one class yesterday because I just couldn't wake up. I think I'm depressed and I just feel like I cannot get out of this funk. I can't afford to slack off in school anymore. I know I have to make a change but I just don't feel like I have any energy. I don't know what to do. I don't want to make anyone worried...I know I have to ultimatly figure this out on my own but I'm just so tired of being tired. I try to talk to Riley about it, but he just doesn't understand...and I can't fault him for that. He is a wonderful boyfriend and I love him, I just don't know how to get my head back above water.

So I'm trying to figure out what to get riley for his birthday...HELP ME!!

Boredem sets in when you have 2 hours in between classes and there is only so much you can look up on the internet every day.

Im hungry...I guess I'll go to follets and get some chips...Why is my life this gay when riley isn't around!?

PRICELESS!!!

So yesterday was one of the most shittiest days ever. Work was hell and I almost just quit on the spot. I'm honestly thinking about transfering to the Cane's on Pinhook. I'm just not sure yet and I don't want to make a decision in haste. I'm just so tired of my General Manager. All of the crewmembers and managers dislike him and give him horrible evaluations and yet he is never penalized. It's really annoying. Anyway, so my dad started his new job yesterday. Im really excited for him. Blegh. I really wish riley would come home! I miss him so much. He shaved his goatee and I'm kind of upset about it. I love his facial hair! :( I'm such a nerd. Well I don't have much more to say. Time to start surfing the web.

Haha! So true though!

So, today was quite eventful....went to work at 1030 to 4. It was a pretty crappy day...don't want to talk about it. Well on my way home I talked to my father and found out that he found a full-time job working as an administrative assistant for one of the attorneys were my mom works. As most of you are aware, my father has been having a hard time finding a full time job, he has been doing some from home part-time work recently but it just hasn't been cutting it. I'm extremely happy for him. I also learned that the Tribune Printing building downtown which has been my family forever was finally sold...it has been a huge weight on the whole family's shoulders for a while so to have it sold and to get a little extra money is very relieving. On a sad note as most of you know, my mom has been having a lot of problems with her right knee. The bones in her knee are rubbing together and causing her extreme pain for the last month. She went to the doctor today and was expecting to get fitted for her brace which she needs desperately. She ended up sitting in the waiting room for over an hour and when she finally saw the doctor he told her that the man that will be fitting her for her brace should be getting in touch with her by wednsday. For some reason the doctor thought that it was necessary for her to come into his office to tell her this. She is in constant pain and can barely work or sleep. Please pray for her. Thanks.

So, tis fall break. I'm happy. School is going great for both Riley and I. I miss him a lot but I guess it just comes with the territory of being an offshore girlfriend. Ah....I love watching crime shows. Law and Order (Original, CI and SVU), CSI (Original, Miami and New York), Criminal Minds, NCIS. All of 'em. Anyway, tonight should be fun. My Aunt Kim, Ian and Heather are all coming over for dinner. We are gonna have some amazing roasted chicken with all the "fixens", AHH its gonna be awesome. Well im gonna watch some more crime TV. lol.

Hey guys and gals. This is my first post. I'm super excited. My sister-in-law Heather Says (unlikelyoilfieldwife) introduced me to this site and it seems really fun. I hope to post at least once-a-day. Well let me give you some background on me:
My name is Ashley. I am 19 years old. I go to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I'm a sophomore and am majoring in Public Relations. I have a wonderful boyfriend named Riley Brent. He works in the oilfield for Weatherford and is a Junior Field Engineer. I hope to one day work for a non-profit or community based organization. My two best friends are Ian and Heather Says (my brother and sister-in-law). I love going to the bar or just spending an evening at home with my friends. I am extremely family oriented. I live at home with my parents and am completely happy doing so. They are the best mother and father anyone could ask for. I'm just like anyone else in the fact that i have good days and bad days. Right now its kind of half and half....Riley is in Ft. Worth, TX until November 1st for a training class. So I guess I'm just your average college student trying to make it in this whirlwind of an economy, loving life and loving people.
