Pascal!

So the movie Tangled came to our free theater here at UOP this weekend.  I had never wanted to see it when it was in theaters, but people started telling me how good it was.  They were right.
I saw it Friday night with my friend Robert, then I saw it AGAIN on Saturday night with some girls from Tridelta.  I am in love...with a chameleon named Pascal.

Isn't he adorable? I told Allie to get me a stuffed animal of him for my birthday.

Speaking of my Birthday, its on friday.  I'm not happy about it.  I dont want to be 19! I want to stay in the 18 year old bubble forever (actually I want to go back to the 17 year old bubble) My friends and family think I am crazy, they all say wait till you turn 21 to freak out then at least you can have fun.  I guess I'm just afraid to grow up and leave my childhood behind.  I have to now start actually thinking about life. eeeggh.  Its all down hill from here I guess...

Long Time

Wow its been a long time! I cant believe I have not posted in over a month! Time flies so fast.

Over the past month I have done many things:
-competed at KCACTF (I did not make it past the first round but now I know what to do for next time)
-made a BUNCH of new friends!
-was initiated in Delta Delta Delta!!!
-started the new member process for Theta Alpha Phi (theater fraternity)
-went on Spring Break (I cleaned my room the entire time, but I did go to Disneyland and bought an annual pass...anyone want to go?)
-Finally learned my lines for Arms and the Man
-Oh and I "married" one of my BFFLs ;) Ashley Bonda aka sweetiepop :)

On top of all that I have been super stressed about classes.  I'm afraid that I am going to FAIL all of them  (by failing I mean getting a C), I'm trying my hardest to keep all aspects of my life in place, but I fear that they are congealing together making it impossible for me to accomplish anything.

Good news is that I have some Girl Scout Cookies! Yumm!

My Big!

So I got my Tridelta big!

Her name is Amanda Wilens, and she just happens to be one of the first people I met when I came to Pacific.  Not only that, but I found out that we both did Youth and Government in High School and she is friends with a bunch of people I know from that organization. I am so happy that she is my big, and I love my grandbig (which is my big's big).  I'm so excited to get to know the two of them better as my time at UOP and Delta Delta Delta progresses.

Here's some pictures of us at Big/Little Reveal!

which my Big and GBig made for me)

pin wheel.

I feel as if my life were a pin wheel.  When in the wind, the pin wheel goes round and round until all you see is a blur of colors.  Except the pin wheel is lucky, because when the wind stops, so does the spinning.  My life is like a pin wheel with a constant steady wind.  Always going, always turning.  It never stops.

I know I rant and complain about being busy all the time, but for old time sake, here I go again.

So I got a cold.  I know, it doesnt sound that bad. But I got the cold last wednesday.  and I had a pageant on Saturday. So if you put two and two together, the climax of my cold just happened to be on, you guessed it! Saturday.  But before I go into my day on Saturday, I have to tell you about my Friday.

Friday morning I woke up 9AM, with my cold, and thinking I was ready to take my math test at 11AM.  I take a dayquil and go to take a shower.  While I was shampooing my hair, I started getting dizzy.  My head was light and the shower stall was spinning.  I remember putting my hand against the wall of the shower to brace myself, and then it goes black, and I'm on the floor of the shower.  I stand up, and lean against the corner for support, but once again, I remember being on the floor.  The second time I stand up, I turn off the water (with shampoo in my hair) grab my towel, and slowly walk to my room.  I call my mom, and tell her I'm going to the wellness center and she calls them to tell them I was on my way.  Once there, they tell me I have to go to the Immediate Care, because I might have hit my head.  So public safety drives me across Stockton, to the nearest urgent care, where I wait for two hours to see a doctor.  Then they ask me a million questions, asking me if I was pregnant like 15 times (I'm pretty sure they didnt believe me when I said no), did a million tests (including an EKG and you guessed it, a pregnancy test) and drew blood.  Another hour goes by (mind you I have not eaten yet, all they would give me was juice) and the doctor comes in to tell me that I'm NOT pregnant (He seemed shocked) and that I had a Urinary Tract Infection.  I finally leave that place at 2:45, and when I get back to school, I leave again for my pageant rehearsal that ended at 11PM.  (Thank God they fed me).

On Saturday, I woke up, and as I said before, my cold was at its climax.  I go to my interview, and later on, the pageant.  I didn't perform as well as I could have.  I'm blaming the past 24 hours and the cold I was dying of.  I did not place, or win any extra awards.  This is a first.  I'm kind of bummed, and I'm starting to think that I'm wasting my time doing pageants.  But every time I think about quitting it, I think about how badly I want the crown, and the experience and it keeps me going.  I know I will win eventually.

On Sunday, My mom and Grandma and I saw No Strings Attached, it was a very cute movie.  We went to safeway and bought food for my dorm and then they left for good old Moorpark.
I wish they would come to visit me more often.  I know they're proud that I'm here by myself and I have not complained to them that I miss home like other kids my age they know have.  But I miss them, especially the weekends when nothings going on and they're out doing fun things at home.  Everyone up here goes home for the weekends or their parents come to them often, but I feel like I never see my family anymore.  I miss spending time with them.  And the worst thing is missing my dog.  Its easier the longer I'm away from them, but if I go home for a weekend or if I skype or talk to them on the phone it makes the home sick feeling come back.  Especially now that the Oscars are coming up.  If February 27th comes and I am not home, I swear I'm going to DIE.  The Oscars are my holiday.  Its our thing to have the extravagant party with all of our friends all dressed up eating costco snacks and drinking martinelli's.  My parents keep telling me that I should do a party in my dorm.  But its not the same.  Thats the one thing I look forward to every year, and all I want to do is go home for it.  Hopefully they'll let me. Hopefully.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not 'OMG I'm so home sick, I'm going to transfer to Moorpark Community at the end of the year' no. I love my school.  I love the experience I'm getting here.   I would make this decision all over again, if I had too. I'm just starting to realize what leaving home actually means, and the changes it brings.  I hate change, I think that why I'm pushing this oscar thing so much, I dont want my tradition to change.


Well I think I have ranted enough. I need to go to sleep. More later.

XOXO,

Kate

Sorority!

Hello Loves!

As I said in my last post I was rushing for a sorority.  And I would now like to take the time to formally introduce myself.  Hello, I'm Katie Woerner and I am a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority!

Ahh! I can't believe it.  It was a super hard decision to make and in the end, fate made the decision for me. I am so excited to get initiated and get to know all my new sisters and find out who my big is.  I'm so stoked.  But I promise you all, I am still the same Katie Woerner you know and love.  I'm just now a pledge in a very classy sorority.

XOXO,
Kate :)

Hello My Loves!

I know you are all probably mad at me for not posting in a while (that is if anyone besides my mother reads this blog) but I decided to take time off from my blog while school was out of session.

I had a nice relax full holiday at home with my family, and sometimes friends.  My four week vacation was very much needed.  I've been going and going nonstop for the past year and a half and it was good to take the time and veg with my family.

Now that I'm back at school, my life once again is nonstop.  I have a pageant next week!! EEK! It came up so fast, and I still have so much to do.  And on top of everything I need to do, I tried on my evening gown and it did not fit! My gorgeous yellow dress that was bought and tailored to my body does not fit! You have no idea how depressed I am, because I love that dress so much.  I hate what college did to my body.  So now I'm on the hunt for a new dress and an alterer to alter my dress. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thats it for now!

XOXO,
Kate

P.S. Rush starts tomorrow and I am so excited! More posts to come!
