Well... I'm guessing its probably about time to update this journal. Quick run down of the summer so far: I found work at ISU, I'm driving a rusted '87 Buick Century with amazing air-conditioning, I met a new friend, I connected more with an old one, I bought things online, I'm in the middle of three books, I'm practicing piano and voice like ( Read more... )

Easter break is over and I had a really good time. I went to the Minneapolis Art Institute, the Basilica of St. Mary, a large park with nets, a lake, movie theater, and the Gay 90's. I even got an Easter basket because Erica's grandmother is wonderful. Now I'm trying to concentrate on getting as much accomplished as I can before school is out. ( Read more... )

WELL, I feel pretty good right now - which is surprising due to my current workload. Oh well, it is Friday, the weather is warmer, and I'm beginning to see green. Unfortunately not financially. However, I feel inspired - which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. I hope that this new found need to create makes me more energetic ( Read more... )

Well, here I am in Indiana, visiting my Aunt and Cousin for spring break, and it has been fairly relaxing so far. I feel like I'm living on borrowed time and I should be doing something else - but I can't figure out what. Maybe homework, maybe figuring out my life.... a couple of options just thrown out there. Indiana is more flat than Minnesota ( Read more... )

The semester is in full swing, and I am feeling fairly optimistic. Things aren't perfect, but that's okay for me right now... I was in a musical, "Pippin" and that was amazing. I made a lot of friends and the experience was something I would like to repeat - I want to be in more shows - that's certain. I had bronchitis and I'm recovering nicely ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in the airport on a layover and my battery is quickly draining. Leaving again feels different this time - it was too short and I feel so unraveled ( Read more... )

Well, its abysmal outside and I'm sitting in my kitchen/nook if you will. The sky is white, the grass is dead, and I haven't done a thing today. I had a plan to wake up early - I wanted to be productive and use those precious early hours that seem like a gift to your life - if you take them. Instead I watched Judge Judy.... that woman packs a ( Read more... )

Things are wrapping up and I still have a long list that keeps acquiring new tasks. I'll be home tonight very late - and I haven't had a chance to think about it much due to my constant busy scrambling. However, some things are making it slightly more difficult. Not only is my room occupied (a family friend has been living there) but, I was ( Read more... )

The fact that this journal is on the internet inherently defiles some of the original appeal of a journal in general. I will just need to keep my aggressions a little vague. I love being able to simply type without worrying about 'in text citation', or providing evidence. Writing like this is therapeutic.

It is my 'secret' dream to write a novel ( Read more... )

I really don't have time to do this right now, but in the future, I'll be using this to let people know that I haven't died and little bits of how my life is going.
