Ok so I know its been a while since I typed a blog on here so please forgive me.  However I do feel that the events that have taken place this week are worth wrighting about.  As some of you know I am an avid watcher of Dancing With The Stars and Season 3 started lastnight and I had a blast watching it.  I believe that all the stars did a wounderful job and I can't wait for next weeks show.  However I do feel that some of the Judges comments on three stars inparticular were kind of harsh.  First off Sara and Tony, I feel did a HELL of a lot better than a 15.  Sorry if the language gets a little angry but I felt that even though Sara didn't always have a great facial expression I did feel that they did have one of the better Foxtrots performed. Next came Monique and Louis, and I will tell you this their chemestry was not dead like Len said it was there and I could feel it so they also got some votes from me.  Finally Harry and Ashley were great I thought and yeah he might have been stiff but come on not everyone is going to take to dancing naturally.  So yes i did split my votes between these three couples and i am not afride to admit it.  I feel these are the three couples that are going to impress everyone in the next few weeks too come.  You guys rock!

  Ok now that I am done venting on Dancing With The Stars I now have talk about a more family related matter that involves my brother.  It seems that he and my sister-inlaw who I love nomatter what are going to be splitting up.  Now wether or not this is perminent or not I don't know but what I don know is that my 3 year old nephew is in the middle of and since they live in the state of Washington there is really no one there for him right now.  I do feel that there split is justified on both parts and I do feel bad that they have not been able to work out their differences but life isn't always perfect.  Anyways I know the next couple of weeks are going to be hard on my family and there is going to be a lot of ups and downs for all of us, I just hope we can make it through this and hopfully things will turn out for the best.  As for now I am kind of stressing out in school and I don't know why?  I just can't seem to focus on anything anymore, and my mind just seems to wounder about other things that I could be doing, or trying too find an inturnship somewhere, or what work is do today, how many photos did I need to have for class.... The list just goes on and on.  Oh well Im sure that I will focus sooner or later I just hope I don't screw up my entire life this semester.  Ok well it is almost midnight and I have to get up at 6:30 in the morning, got to love those early morning classes,.  So good night everyone and I hope all is and does go well for you.

Vacation time is here at last.  I leave this saturday for the west coast to spend a week in the beautful state of Washington.  Ok so it isn't California but atleast it isn't Missouri.  Im not saying i hate my state, its just that when it comes to entertainment for younger people or people young at heart, this stay has fallen way behind.  So a nice week and two day in Washington is going to be great.  I also get to go to Canada over this vacation and party it up for the first time in a long time.  The only draw back to this vacation is having to come home.  I just found out this past weekend that another person that i am working with is leaving making me pick up even more hours as soon as i get back.  Life is a crazy mess for me rightnow and I and strating to believe that it is going to stay this way all year.  School starts for me around the 23rd of Aug. and not only do i have to deal with my classes I also have to work on getting an internship set up somwhere for next summer.  Oh well I am just going to take one day at a time and learn to deal with life as it is for now.  Who knows all the hard work and determination that I have right now will hopfuly pay off soon.  As for now im just letting the hours pass by because I go on vacation in just three day.

Later guys and have good week or atleast whats left of it anyways.

Ok so the whole posting more often thing i said i was going to try this summer really hasn't wroked out.  Although i am sitll loosing weight and working out i have barly found the time to do anything with friends and family since i last wrote on here.  I have spent this entir summer working at my job, and with inventory this comming Thursday i have yet another full schedual ahead of me.  Strees is really setting in and i haven't felt this way since the beginning of May when i took my finals.  However the one good thing comming from wrok are the ladies I work with.  I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. Patt, one of my closest in the department, and I have really been talking about an business adventrue of our own.  We are thinking about opening a Dance Club either here in Missouri, or pulling up the stakes and heading out to California and starting one there.  At first this seemed crazy and started out as a joke, but latly we have both been thinking about it none stop, and talk about it every day we work together.  Although I am in college and still have a year and a half left I believe that Patt and mines dream may become a reality and not just a conversational piece while we work.  Who knows what the feutrure holds, and only time will tell.  As for now my work load is doupled and we are loosing one of our hardest workers in a couple of weeks.  She will be missed a lot and will be hard to replace.  However on the brighter side of things I do leave for the state of Washington on the first of July and get to spend a week and three days with my brother and sister-in-law, as well as my nephew.  Im looking forward to this vacation and Im counting down the days till I leave.

Well it is late and i really should be in bed by now, so i will say goodnight and have a great Monday everyone.

Hey guys.  How have things been going the past couple of weeks?  I hope you have had a little more fun this summer than I have.  So  far this I have worked almost everynight save a few, and the one week were I had three days off in a row I decided to paint and reorganize my room.  This was fun but man I was so tired after and had to go right back to work.  However the entire summer hasn't been a total waste yet, I have lost about 5lbs so far and feel good, and this past weekend I went to my cousins graduation in Iowa.  Boy that was a blast!  Anytime the Wandell family plans a get to gether you can bet it will be fun.  Although I think I put back on those 5lbs I just mentioned I lost.  Oh well I still have the entire summer to get rid of them and then some.  I have actually started jogging in the morning and evenings and I am starting to feel really good about my health and the results are strting to show.

Well Im going to get off of here now and get ready for dinner and a jogg. Hopfully I will have more time to post on here as the weeks go by. 

Later guys.

Well its finally over.  Thats right I took my last final today and man am I glad.  Leave it to my school to plan my two thoughest finals at 8 am two days in a row.  I barly had any time to get a decent study in for the first one and the second one which I took this morning was even more worse than the first.  Of course if I didn't procrastenate so damn much I would have been better prepared.  Im just happy it is all over and done with.  I just hope I did well in all my classes, and that all the hard work I am doing now will pay off in the end.  I now have a long summer break to relax to and plan on just that.  However I do plan on working out a lot this summer and hopfuly I will be able to get rid of this pesky spare tire around my mid section.  My goal is to come back in the fall a totaly new man and have all my friends tell me how much better I look.  Well I hope everyones day gose smoothly and that you have a great time doing what ever you have planed.

Till next time have a great day guys

 

Man today was just about the best day we have had in a long time.  The sun was out, the temp. was just right, and the wind wasn't that strong.  The guys on my floor and I all went out to play basket ball, well excluding my roomate who has pulled away from the rest of us. Oh well just thought i would comment on how nice the day was.  Also I took some great photos today which I hope turn out, and I have now been hooked in on watching Melrose Place reruns.  Don't ask me I have just now started watching this show but man it is pulling me in like a wirlpool and Im loving it. 

Well have a great rest of the day everyone.

Ok, well the time has come for me to pick classes for my next semester.  Usually this isn't a big deal but after watching Dancing with the Stars Season 2, I am at a cross road as to wether or not I should take the Ballroom Dancing Class offered here at the college.  A huge part of me says yes, but I am torn on wether I want to take anoth class for my major or take a class where I can have fun doing something I have always wanted to try.  Several of my friends have taken this class and said it was a great experience but i just can't decide.  What do you guys think?

Hey eveyone this is my first blog ever so please bare with me.  Just thought i would say hey to everyone reading this and Im glad you have taken an interest in me.  Hope your day is going well and if you want go ahead and send me a message telling me all about it.  However, if your day is going bad send me a message and tell me why and i will try my hardest to cheer you up. 

Later,
