A Stallion No More

A lot of you may find this as hard to believe as I did when I received the text message earlier this afternoon. My brother, Kyle Gillis, has a girlfriend. Yes. A real life, facebook official, basketball playing girlfriend. Sorry ladies, better luck next time because this guy is taken! This may not be a big deal to most people, but obviously it is somewhat of a huge deal for my big bro otherwise why would I be blogging about it. Kyle, the former stallion, has always been a ladies man. Every time I talked to him it seemed like he had just met a new girl, which was obviously due to his Professor status at Texas State. Go Bobcats! Anytime I would actually remember a girls name to ask him about, he would already have met a new one to talk about. Morgan if you read this don't worry, it's all about you now girl! I could tell something was different when he brought Morgan to Easter to meet our whole family. Bringing her wasn't what was weird, it was the fact that after he brought her I kept hearing her name pop up in our conversations. You see, usually if a girl got too close to the family Kyle would move on. But oh no, Morgan had stolen his heart.

There they are! I was forced to steal their profile pictures from facebook because, being a new couple and all they don't have any pictures together yet. I'm sure there will be a whole album full of them soon though! Don't they just look fabulous together, I mean really just try and find a better looking couple! Besides me and my future boyfriend, we will be way hotter. Anyways. They have so much in common. They love working out, watching documentaries on food processing, Texas State Bobcats, the daquiri barn, hanging out with me, eating healthy, did I mention working out? Match made in heaven, huh? I was chatting with Kyle (BB1) earlier today about how much his life has changed since accepting that relationship request on facebook. I could just hear the difference in his voice, he just sounded like a boyfriend! He was already giving me relationship advice and everything. I couldn't be happier for them! This blog may be weird to read to some people because becoming boyfriend/girlfriend shouldn't be that huge of a deal, but for Kyle and Morgan it is. It was about time they decided to take the plunge and make it official, its not like we weren't already calling her his girlfriend anyways. Luckily now my Nana won't have to introduce her as Morgan, the girl from Amarillo. She is officially Morgan, Kyle's girlfriend (woah crazy!) Relationships rule!

-Stassy out!

Summer Lovin

Don't you just love those days that you don't have to put on any makeup, and you don't have any plans, and you can just lounge around the house and be lazy? I plan to make this an everyday thing this summer. I'm not exactly sure if that will be possible considering I have a job and will be taking summer school, but you better believe my weekends will consist of doing absolutely nothing! My summer started last Wednesday at 2:00 PM. My friends and I put together a pool party at 2818's pool. It was a huge success. We had a great turnout and I had my first experience buying charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill. For any of you smokers out there, I also purchased my first lighter so hit me up if you need a light! But please stop smoking, you are killing yourself. Anyways, it was a lot of fun to hang out with friends and relax after a hard week of studying for finals.

I moved home Friday for the summer. I am glad to be home, but will miss my new home in good ol' CS. Cassie, Scotty, and Lex came to EC on Friday evening. It is always a lot of fun when we all get together. Especially planning and talking about when Easton will be born! Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. Kyle and his "friend" Morgan got to town and immediately went to work out. Way to make me feel horrible about myself guys. My mom, Cassie, Scotty and I went to see Iron Man 2. This was my second time to see it, but it was still pretty good. On Sunday our family came to celebrate mother's day and my Pepaw's birthday. So what if it was a week late? We celebrate on our own schedule! It was fun as usual seeing everybody, even though I always eat way too much and end up exhausted and feeling sick. But it was still a good time. Hopefully the rest of my summer will continue to be as fun as this weekend was, but probably not. I am in El Campo after all, its known for the Ricebirds not for fun.

Fluvial Geomorphology?

Yeah, that's what I'm studying about. Do I know what it means? Definitley not. Will it be on my final tomorrow? Probably so. So why am I blogging? Because I ain't scurrred. (That's the ghetto way of saying scared for all you non gangsters.) Tomorrow at approximately 1:45 PM I will be done with my spring semester of college. YES YES YES! So far I have 3 A's in the bag..so I'm really trying for my last one tomorrow. Probably won't happen, but hey a girl can dream. It's been tough to study today. My loser friend Megan is done with her finals so of course she wants to hang out all day. She practically forced me to go lay out by the pool with her earlier and now she wants me to come watch a movie with her. So I blame her for the B I will most likely be receiving from Professor Guneralp. Well, I better not continue this blog. The Loma Prieta earthquake stats and shield volanoes are calling my name from the packet of papers across the room. Wish me luck! Here's to Planet Earth Geography and all that I must learn about!

Dead Week

I never really understood why it is called this. First of all, dead week isn't even a week long it is only two days, um duh. Second of all, it's not like people are actually "dead" during dead week. From what I've seen, most people are more lively during these two days of no classes. Sure it's supposed to be two days to study for finals, but lets get real MOST people do not study during dead week. Cinco de Mayo was yesterday, the first day of dead week and I know for a fact my friends were not studying. How fun is it to celebrate a holiday that has nothing to do with your heritage? SO fun. I look dang good in a sombrero I would just like to say.
I found out today that I made an A in my economics class! Woo hoo!!! That class was so dumb. Why will I ever need to know the functions of an oligopoly and whether or not price increase effects the long run equilibrium of a firms output? I am going to be a 3rd grade teacher. I don't think any of that nonsense is in the 3rd grade reading TEKS. Thats what I don't understand about college. It is supposed to be preparing me for my future career, but yet most of what I have learned has absolutley no relevance to the job I will have. I just don't get it! But I digress. Summer is almost here! Only one more final for me and then I have a loooong relaxing summer ahead of me. Jealous? You should be. I think this summer will be one of the best. There are some new exciting things going on in my life and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go over the next few months. If you don't know what I'm referring to then we obviously aren't that close and you probably shouldn't be reading this blog. You creeper. Sick, get a life.

The above is a snapshot of what my summer job will consist of. I will be teaching swim lessons to some adorable little kids. I love teaching swimming. You get to be outside in a pool all morning getting a tan, and I get to play with cute little kids. I love kids. I think it runs in my family. That's what made me decide to become a teacher. I think it takes a lot of patience to deal with children and I definitley have that. Teaching a child how to swim can be very, very frustrating at times. I've gotten kicked in the stomach, chest, face and pretty much everywhere else on my body. I've seen kids throw up in the pool because they were crying so hard from being scared. But even with all the annoying stuff I still get so much joy when a child succeeds and can actually swim at the end of our lessons. That probably sounds dumb, but it really is a cool feeling to know that you have taught someone how to do something. I don't know I guess we are just really awesome. It is our 6th year teaching them and it has always been a huge success! Tomorrow I am going to visit my dearest brother Kyle in San Marcos. Our parents will also be partying with us there for the night. It is sure to be a fantastic time. Wish me luck on the drive there. If you know me then you know that I am not very good with directions! Hopefully I don't end up in Canada, eh? Well, this blog is long and not so interesting so I will sign off. Have a wonderful end of the school year and happy almost summer!

Starsy out!
