I'm leaving for Tampa tomorrow and I'm nervous. First, I've never been on a plane by myself before. Greiner is leaving from Indy and I'm leaving from Ohare because it's five hours closer then the Indy airport is, which means I'm all alone.....and terrified. And then I won't know anyone at this convention except for Greiner and I get nervous when ( Read more... )

So my first week of camp is over. I'm sunburnt and covered in mosquito bites, but the sunburn is beginning to turn tan so that's good (I hate being blonde and fair skinned sometimes, like now). I love my group, so far. I don't have any of the chronic whiners or homesick kids. One of the kids in my group has a "drooling problem" (it's listed on ( Read more... )

On Monday I went downtown with Lindsay and one of her friend's from SIU. Can I tell you how amazing downtown Chicago is? I just love being there and wandering around. There are all the people and stores and the lake and the museums. I want to move away from Illinois after I graduate, not because Illinois is a horrible place or I hate here (it's ( Read more... )

Like Erin, I also really like Jenny's list of things that she learned. So here are my list of things that I've learned in the past 2 years ( Read more... )

I think that somehow I have morphed into Oscar the Grouch. Seriously. I keep expecting little pluffs of green hair to sprout on my skin and my eyes to bug out. And then I can live by myself in a smelly garbage can and not irritate others or be irritated by others. There is one person that I just can't be around right now without getting annoyed ( Read more... )

Here are some quotes to ponder ( Read more... )

You can't make someone have feelings for you, no matter what you do. It's ok to make mistakes and cry and scream. You may cringe when you think about them later, but remember that everyone makes mistakes and in a couple months it won't even matter anymore. What you may think is important now, really might not be that important. So be yourself ( Read more... )
