| Well here I am in college: a lowly freshman at IWU. Life is going well aside from the fact that my classes officially start tomorrow and I have no idea where the buildings are. It's cool though. :) I miss home, my family and the gang and um I really miss my dog Luke...but yeah. I mean I feel like I'm ready to graduate now and I haven't really started yet. I just feel too old. I'm incredibly annoyed by all the "squeaky clean, new" freshmen. And the sad thing is that out of like 900 freshmen only like 5% have realized that this isn't high school. The rest are carrying on merrily like it is. And I want to hit them. But enough of my venting. On to happy things: the food is actually not that bad so far. And the food that I've been eating is the food from Baldwin. I haven't even tried the food from Wildcat or anything from the grill yet. Tomorrow I may brave some stir fry. You never know. There's a first time for everything. So now since this is like my official come back to xanga...after Hannah insulted me I've just not been able to find the strength to post *sniff* *sniff* (the reason totally wasn't b/c I have had like zero free time lately :) ) but now here I am. So here is my shout out to Rachel who said that she reads this. As my one and only subscriber...let me abound on the joys of Rach. Well, she's bright and happy and very fun to be with. She makes any day a little better no matter how down you are. And she can always think of something fun to do. So Rachel-I miss your smiling face and hope that Rosedale is going amazing for you! And so to Rachel and possibly Hannah and anyone else who might chance to read this- Peace Out! | | |
| On Solid Rock tour! It's been fun...practice week was completely excruciating...yeah...not much else to say now because Hannah is over my shoulder making fun of the fact that I still update this...so my passion for this post is somewhat diminished. I'll just update when I get home. Why? Because I want to, not because anyone reads this...Hannah... jk lol tee ehe hee hee | | |
| Summer! Oh sweetness, finally and at last! What a hectic start! But I can now say I've finally caught up on sleep that I was behind on from the senior trip. I'm actually really glad I'm not working this summer. It's truly wonderful. I've been sleeping better, and I have significantly less stress. Oh, yeah, and I can actually enjoy life and not hate it. It's grand! I've just been helping the padres out around the house doing stuff. Mowing the yard, cleaning things, etc. I don't mind though. It's like a dream vacation compared to school specialty!!!! (dun dun dunnnn) but yes. Life is good. I hope everyone else is enjoying all the sunshine and lack of school!!!!! | | |
| 5 more days till senior trip!!! Then Tennessee, then we're outta here! I am stoked. I'm a little wary of how Mr. Sutter plans to finish 1/3 of the entire course of Chemistry in 5 days...but hey. I'm up for a good laugh. Always. Speaking of Always...last Image concert today. Bittersweat. Glad that pressure is off...one down sort of thing, but nonetheless. It saddens me that this is the last time for Image...Ever. *Sniff* But all y'all will be in my heart always so I guess it doesn't seem like such a horrible break. Graduation party today with the Incredible Miss Hannah. (Whaddup???) lol yeppers. Twas swell. I hugged a lot of people and ended up eating breakfast like 5 different times. My idea of a good day. :) So I'm reading this adorable little British book borrowed from Tiff..."Angus, thongs, and full -frontal snogging" Love love love it. So funny. reading it at 11ish last night and I burst out laughing uncontrollably into the silence of my sleeping household. I love the Brits. They always make me laugh with their extrodinary wit. Dear ones. Anyhoos. Woo. yeah so as we were all singing "Always" in Image...I was thinking of popcorn...don't know why food stalks my thoughts so much but it definitely does. So I got home and partook of some of the great stuff. Quelled the craving nicely. So I got my fake nails taken off the other day, and to do so, I had to soak my hands in this bubbling little pot I fondly call "the witch's brew". It dissolved my nails off painlessly but now my hands will periodically start hurting and I look down and they're cracked and bleeding. And I swear I put lotion on like 3 times a day and it doesn't even help. It's because of the witch's brew. Allison asked me what all was in it...I was like...oh you know...dead toad, bat's wing, the usual. As I write this my hand is starting to get that itchy pained feeling again....It's happening...So I think that Tom Welling, the guy on Kyle XY, and the adorable little man on the Ruby Tuesday's commercial are all very beautiful men and I enjoy watching them every now and then. They are all tall, dark haired with lovely eyes. And luminously albino skin. These type I cannot resist. Hm. Today was really nice. Nice party, great weather for it, etc. Good concert. Went out like shooting starts. With a bang. Okay I'm starting to not make any sense. As much as today was lovely, that's how tired I am. Sleepy time! | | |
| Seems like everyone's been in a slump lately. I don't know if it's the pooey weather that's plagueing us, or all the pressures crashing down from being seniors (or heck how about the insurmountable pressures of just plain life), or what. It's depressing. Some people have huge events that are rocking their worlds, but for a lot of people (me included) it's just a lot of little annoying things that won't go away. It's not the mountain we climb that hurts us the most, it's the grain of sand in our shoe. (place credit here to some wise person that I can't remember their name right now). But yes. Apparently the recent release of grade cards has been a burden to many. Also, family dynamics seem to be affecting just about all of us. And then to top things off, we've got sucky drama-filled school to endure. I don't know if this is senioritis or just like lifeitis or something all I know is that it's crap. I've even shared this view with a few adults and they've agreed that they were a part of the slump as well. I think all of Ohio has this cloud over it and we're just being shrouded in negative karma. Well at least today is Friday. I don't know why I keep trying to be positive. Seriously. My friends share the horrible crap going on in their life and all I can say is gee I'm sorry I'll pray for you if you, and if you need anything I'm here-and then I finish it off with my grand-at least it's not ______. (fill in the blank with some horrible scenario not pertaining to our current lives) I know praying is great and all and I am seriously burdened with everyone's struggles and I plead to God for them but sometimes I just wish I could just get in there and make everything better. And I can't. I hate not being able to help. *sigh* Hence the slump. I just would like some happiness back. Not just for me, for everyone. What fun is it to be laughing without your friends??? I've had some good times by myself, but the best times I remember are those shared with the people I love. So I will continue working on all my little slump-inducing problems, and I'll still be there for everyone who is going through something right now. I'll be praying for all the ACT people tomorrow! Good luck and kick butt! Well the sun is out now and I've typed this gargantuous post that I bless anyone who reads, so I'm going to be on my way. And to anyone who reads this, update your xangas, people! Leave a comment or two! Let's keep xanga alive. It's been quite the therapy for me and it could be the same to you as well. Let's kick this slump's butt. Peace out | | |
