The College Life

Wow...yea I totally slack on this blog thing. Even though I keep saying "I promise I'll keep up with it!" I'm not gonna lie...I probably never will XD.

SO updates! Today is Dan and I's 2 year anniversary! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY. Too bad I'm not there with him :(. I'm trying to make it home for Halloween...but again I'm not gonna lie. I kinda really really want to stay here at JMU for Halloween. There's so many fun things to do I just wanna experience all that my Freshmen year and not have to go home :P. I would love to go home at any other time besides Halloween though :P Technically I don't even have a ride home for Halloween weekend so we'll see what happens.

Also, apparently there's a Bucket list here of the things you have to do at JMU before you graduate and one thing is to find the tunnels! KELLIE AND I ARE DETERMINED TO FIND THESE TUNNELS. O! I don't think I've talked about Kellie in here. Kellie is not my roommate, she's my hallmate (but might as well be my roommate lol) she's my bff here at JMU :). I love her and she's so silly so we can be stupid together XD. It's awesome.

BIG NEWS. I joined a sorority! I'm in Kappa Alpha Theta. Apparently it was the first sorority in the U.S. and it's a lot of fun so far :) I went camping this weekend with them and our counselor was a British guy! AWESOME!! I ate dinner with a theta girl yesterday, and today I'm eating lunch with a theta girl. You never eat alone in a sorority which is nice. I signed up to live in the house next year so hopefully i get it!

There's one thing I didn't like about coming to college. High school in NO WAY prepares you for college tests or life. I got a C on my first french test which I was really upset about. But I changed my study habits and got a high B on my second :). I had a midterm yesterday that went pretty well :) But I have an art history midterm tomorrow that I'm not too excited about :P. Gonna study ALL day for it :P.

Well I'm going to leave my blog on that note and hopefully...maybe...post at least one other time this month XD

There's so much more to come!

This summer has still been incredible! Not a day goes by without my doing something! I had one day to myself and I couldn't bare it anymore so I called up someone and made plans XD. I love being alone but now it just get's boring when I'm sitting at home lol.

I have at least 2 days off a week now! They hired a new snowgirl and I'm doing both snow and produce. Delia's offered me a job at their store. I REALLY REALLY wanted to accept it...but I want to stay with Farmer John's for one more summer and then go intern somewhere or do retail work.

College seems to be coming faster than I thought it would. I was trying to make plans with people but turns out I'm literally busy every single day/weekend in august. IT'S HORRIBLE (but fun :) I want to make time to hang out with everyone like Vero, Amber, and Taylor. I VILL TRY!

Veronica's Birthday is tomorrow!!! I feel bad that Cole is leaving her a few days after her birthday...that SUCKS. I was so happy Cole and her got together because they seemed to be a good match ^__^. WELL Britt's been talking to me about breaking up with Mason because he's selfish and drinks and partys everyday. So she did that yesterday XD.She's a funny one. I hope she's happier without him like she thinks she'll be.

For me, Dan and I are doing fine. I'm really proud of him for getting a job! He works at Canine Country Club now with Casey and he takes care of Dogs alllll day XD. PERFECT JOB FOR HIM!

In the weeks ahead I'm looking forward for Otakon 2010!!! I have everything for my Freya outfit! It's amazing and I look awesome! I'm also going to bring a lighter dress to cosplay as Chi. I figure Bonnie would want a day as Freya and a day as Chi so we can switch off XD IT WILL BE FUN!. Nic is Hideki, Molly is Yuzuki, and Mat is Minoru! We have a cute little Chobits group going! YAY! This will most likely be the best con I have been to yet! I WILL BUY A PLUSHIE THIS YEAR!

ALSO I'm looking forward to going to THE JERSEY SHOREEEEEE with Dan XD. I'm so excited to act like a Guidette XD. Dan rolls his eyes at me because he says that OC, NJ is like a family town not a Guido town...O WELL. CHRISIE'S THE NEW SITUATION BIATCHH. ^_^.

I saw Inception last night and it was the best movie I have seen since Moulin Rouge. My eyes were constantly glued to the screen and the ENDING! was FANTASTIC!! I love everything about that movie and the way it was shot was genius! I bet Christopher Nolan took ten years to write that damn thing! The movie made me think of Architecture again. I've been thinking of good careers and Architect was one I wanted to try years ago...nahhh I don't want to be an architect XD. I'LL BE AN ASSASIN! lolzzz

Well Hopefully I'll actually stick with this blog...I'll try!

Summer thus far

MY greatest apologies for the...month long wait :/. There just hasn't been any time (nor computer) for me to update this blog. FRST I'll cover Graduation...

Graduation almost turned into a family crisis -_-. My Dad had decided to invite his gf Daniella. I only have 8 tickets, Daniella would've been the ninth person...See where I'm going? Mom and Dad had a huge fight, so i gave up and asked Vero for an extra ticket to make everyone shut the hell up and happy. She agreed, fortunately, and crisis was averted ^_^ Thank You veronica, I owe you BIGTIME! lol.

Next was Sen1or Week! GREAT TIME. Was staying with Mandi, Sophie, and Amber. Hung out with Vero, Will, Taylor, and Cole most of the time down there. I'm really happy about everything that happened at Senior Week :) It was a time for me to get a taste for what life will be like in College...minus the beach lol.

After Sen10r Week were tons of grad parties, work, and teachers befriending me(or accepting my friend requests) on facebook XD. It's funny that Dan, Eric, and I went to the bar CastleBay and met up with Tedford, Greco, and Butler to watch Tedfords fiance perform. It was a great night though ^_^. Even though I don't do much else but work, I'm having a great Summer. I have good hours. I always have money on me. And I'm just having a great time. One time in particular that I'm not too proud of :P is Mandi's grad party :P.

I didn't intend to get smashed at Mandi's Grad party, I only thought I would get a little tipsy like those nights at Sen10r week :P. WELL I was wrong. I decided to drink a bottle of gin...idk why, it was there, I wanted to try it, and it was good lol. I can't really remember that night too well. But I know one thing, Dan told me I kept repeating myself and people thought I was really annoying. I ABSOLUTELY hate it when people think of/or call me annoying. In middle school, that's all everyone thought of me and in Highschool I was trying to change that and I thought I had. I guess not when I'm drunk -_- I was really upset afterwards because I feel like people won't like me if I act annoying at all, like I used to. Idk how to explain it. Just that I get real upset when I'm annoying...that sounds stupid but whatever :P.

Well besides taht the past two night have been fireworks on the bay! We went to the Kent Narrow Firework on Friday, and last night we went to see the Rock Hall fireworks. They were both real nice but I'm most excited about tonight because it's brittany's 4th of July party. I'm going to buy some glow sticks, and partttttyyyy and parttttty and partttty lol. Paige will be there too I'm happy ^_^.

I'll try to update my bloggy more :P. I apologize for neglecting you bloggy.

I'm Not Calling You A Liar

Why do people feel the need to lie to me to protect me? Keeping me from the truth isn't going to make things better, I ALWAYS FIND OUT. So why not just be upfront with me? In the words of Flo "I'm not calling you liar, just don't lie to me." I would really appreciate it if I'm given the truth 24/7 because I don't want a false perspective, I want the real deal. I want to know the bad, the good, the heartbreaking, the evil, the love. I want to know it all. I don't need blinders.

Now that that's off my chest I'm here to say I HAVE FIVE HIGH SCHOOL DAYS LEFT! It's crazy to think about (especially since I have a two page paper due...) and Prom is on Saturday, I have a final on Tuesday, Graduation is a week away and then I'm off to SENIOR WEEK. Mandi, Amber, and Sophie are going to be the best people to go with! We will have a blast! I know it ^__^.

Prom Promise was yesterday. I think it went really well and impacted a lot of kids. People said Mr. Kerr's speech was the one that made them tear up. It was really scary being in the car when they had to pull off the roof and bust the windshield. Pretending to be dead is harder than it looks! All the wounds looked real and I walked around school with it on until I had to go to work. Everyone was asking me what I did to myself XD.

I've been working almost every day lately and have had NO time for practicing ITS stuff. I'm in a dance with Wade. The Little Mermaid! :D. And I'm also supposed to be in a skit with Derrick as a homeschooled boy XD. I'm excited for that one even though I haven't memorized it yet...It'll all work out ^__^.

I'll have to start blogging. Once Wednesday comes along I'll start blogging more...or maybe not until after Senior Week...We'll figure it our :)

P.S. flying through the Sookie Stackhouse books! Onto Number 6! :D loving it. Sookie and I must be the same person.

So Unfortunate :(

I have to work at 12, so I'm just blogging about whats been going on lately. Well first off our One-Act won! :D Which is exciting and I'm very happy about that. We get to go on to QAC one acts :).

Secondly, I just found out the date my Prom dress is being shipped...May 28th. AFTER PROM. I'm trying to see if I can have it come any sooner. But if I can't have it come then I'll have to cancel the order and go dress shopping in Virginia. I'm so upset about this. I calculated the date my dress would come and it should be here before prom. I'm so upset and I just really want to find a way to get THAT dress :(. It's really unfortunate because my family spent so much money on it (money we didn't have) just so i could be happy and look pretty. Now I feel like it's all going to waste. I'm just still so upset and I want to cry. I'm praying that there's a way to get this dress! I feel so selfish for asking to order that dress now. But at the time it felt so good and right to be buying it. sigh, win some you lose some.

Well since I have to work soon I'll have to put my mind on other things. I PRAY IT COMES before prom and fits me perfectly!

AP test next week, wish me luck?

My Aching Tentacles

Feet and back are hurting but i'm still loving my job :). Working at Farmer John's is going to get me so buff! I have a full day Saturday from 8:30am until close! BOY IS THAT LONG, hopefully Dan comes to visit :). Apparently Snow girls get good tips so I'm hoping that's true on Saturday. Today was a crappy tip day :P.

School works been kinda eh. I get it done, just sometimes not on time...especially for Trig. Ap classes I've got it down but Trig is just so bothersome. And pointless for things i need to do in life :P.

Cary's making some pizza, and I just heard the finish thing ring :D YUM.

I SAT IN GUM TODAY. Completely disgusting; Lyndee found it on me XD. We were laughing like hyenas lol. Might have found my outfit for the one-act. It's going well :D. I'm a bit intimated by Iris and Lyndee since they usually get leads, and I've never gotten anything :P. I'm more hoping that I learn from them, and I think I have :D.

PROM TICKETS ARE 75 DOLLARS WTH?! Apparently there's a dinner and then a dance, it starts at 6 and ends at 12...SIX HOURS AT A PROM?! Don't think that's going to happen :P. Well maybe, ya never know. I know before prom I'm going to Paige's with Dan, but after prom I really want to party! I hope someone invites me to one! :D or maybe I'll have one of my own :D. I can't wait for my dress to come in! I wanna try it on right now :)

Today at work, a lady ordering her snowball asked me if I was on ANTM. LOLOLOL She thought I looked just like the red haired girl that just won, I get so flattered when people tell me that! I am blessed, but I had to work hard to look this way :P. I get angry when people think that I'm naturally like this, when really I have to work my butt off! (not so much anymore, but before I did) After you get to your goal weight it's just so much easier to keep it. I lost all the weight almost 4 years ago and I am so glad! :D

Books: finished Living Dead in Dallas, now onto Club Dead.

Farmer John's!

Favourite Florence song of the moment:
There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face that
The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

I'll be working at Farmer John's Produce stand for the Summer! I'm really excited about this because the people there seem really friendly, and although I would like to work in retail I think that this will be better for me. The Gap called me back today about an interview, and I just called them back and declined. I thought that I would want to work at Gap more...but turns out I'm not feeling that way at all! When I went to the Gap the people in there didn't look very happy. At Farmer John's everyone was so nice! and Friendly! And I'll be working with people I know and that go to our school! So I'm feeling a lot better about working at Farmer John's.

I do feel bad though, I have a lot of things going on this Summer that I'll have to tell them about. Like Senior week, Graduation, prom, one-acts, NC with Dan, Otakon, etc. Hopefully that's it...I don't want to not be able to ever work lol! What's going to be on my mind is snowballs and vegetables! YEEEHAW...cowboy?

ANYWAY! Ordering my pretty pink prom Dress this week and super excited! Yes, it's so important the word "Dress" needs to be capitalized. lol.

Someone I've been admiring lately has been Paige. I think she is just such a true kind-hearted person. She is so sweet and today, she gave Dan and I little gifts from the Florida! HOW SWEET?! She's a cutie :) and I do miss hanging out with her. That's why before Prom Dan and I are going to :D.

MY 18TH BDAY PARTY THIS FRIDAY! YAY! I'm pretty dang excited for it! I haven't thrown myself a bday party since middle school! But the past 2 years I've had surprise partys so that's fun too :).

OFFICIALLY DECIDED A COLLEGE! James Madison University will be honored to see my amazing self walk onto their campus to study in the fall! LOL, I am completely totally not into myself that much XD. I'm just so happy that things are looking up when they weren't looking that way last week :P. THANK YOU GOD! PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH!

scholarships to do, tata for now!
