Valentine's Day Movie

If any of you haven't seen the movie - Valentine's Day - you have to! It is sooooo hilarious. I loved every minute of it.

Also, it didn't hurt that Patrick Dempsey, Ashton Kutcher, Eric Dane, and Bradley Cooper were in it! <3

I also loved Taylor Swift, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifah, and George Lopez in the movie.

Every single person was amazing! I totally wanna see it again.

In Love With Patrick, Ashton, Eric, & Bradley,
Amy

High Point University Presidential Scholarship Weekend!

After school on Thursday, February 18th, we all left for High Point, NC! About 9 hours later (thanks to stupid Washington D.C.) we arrived! =]

The next morning, I visited a psychology class for elementary education majors! It was actually taught by the Dean of the School of Education. It was so incredible! My family and I spent the rest of the day wandering around the beautiful campus. Later that day was the HPU Presidential Scholarship dinner event. It was perfectly done. The food, entertainment, and speeches were absolutely amazing.

The following day was when the interviews took place. In the morning, we (us students) attended a speech by the President of High Point University, Dr. Nido Qubein. I cannot even put into words how amazing this person is. He is truly one of the most inspirational people I have ever met in my life. Google/youtube him. He is a very well-known motivational speaker, author, business man, and most importantly - President of High Point University.

The interviews went very well! Again, the people in the South are just SO different. They are very laid back, happy, faithful, generous, welcoming, and loving people. (The list goes on and on.) The people at HPU are so friendly and personable. They really care about who you are! I also met so many awesome future students!

I will never forget the HPU Presidential Scholarship weekend. I had the time of my life there. I will update y'all on what school I decide to go to! Anyway, I know that my heart belongs in the South.

Missing the South,
Amy

Chick Flicks & Valentine's Day

First of all, I wanted to wish all of my loves a very HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! =]

So, this weekend was a lot of fun! I went to see When In Rome on Friday. It's a really cute movie! I need to go to Rome now. It just looks sooo beautiful. Josh Duhamel is so gorgeous in it also. <3 LOL.

Yesterday, we all went to see Dear John. This movie is absolutely incredible. So touching and emotional. I absolutely fell in love with it. I can't even put it into words how this movie affected me. It was such a beautiful story. I have to read the book now! Also, it was filmed in the great state of South Carolina. (Some was even filmed in Charleston!!!) At one point in the movie, the main rotunda of the CofC campus is seen. It was so awesome to see that.

Well, we all leave for High Point, NC on Thursday. Wish me luck!

With LOVE,
Amy

College News!

Hello!

I just wanted to update you on my college news! So far, I have been accepted to five schools: West Chester University, Lebanon Valley College, Saint Joseph's University, High Point University, and the College of Charleston!!!

I am very excited. It's such a BIG decision. I would say that my top three are CofC, HPU, & Saint Joe's.

This upcoming weekend we are heading down to High Point, NC. I was selected for the High Point University Presidential Scholarship. It's a whole weekend event. On that Friday, we have a dinner event. The next day is when the interviews take place.

I cannot wait to go South again - especially to get away from all of this nasty weather. I miss being in the South. It's such a wonderful place to be.

Excited for the future,
Amy

SNOW DAYS!

Woah, hasn't the weather been crazy lately? I had this past Monday off due the snow! Everything last weekend was canceled also. (My youth group mission & RYO was even canceled.)

I have a snow day today and tomorrow! I used to love the snow, but I don't like it anymore. However, the one good thing about the snow is SNOW DAYS. So, I'll deal. =]

For those who have to travel in this, please be careful!

Snowed in,
Amy

Way Too Long!

Wow, it has been an extremely LONG time since I last blogged. Sorry! Life has just been SO busy with school, music stuff, college stuff, & etc.

Anyway, I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I cannot believe that it's already 2010. (GRADUATION YEAR!)

So much stuff has happened since I last blogged! I don't even know where to begin. I'll try to make blogging a more regular thing.

Just wanted to share a quote that I found after joining a facebook group. I have wanted to be an elementary ed. teacher since I was only 8 years old. I actually found a facebook group called "Future Teachers" so I joined it of course. Here is the quote:

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived -... this is to have succeeded." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love,
Amy
