I found a journal on my mom's dresser yesterday and was curious. I flipped tbrough it quickly and it seems to be a collection of entries to me. Her feelings in the months before I leave. I was touched and cannot wait to read it ( Read more... )

Went to the Newton Valle drive-in last night with Zohra, Kate, Megan, Catherine, and Catherine's friend Patrick. I hadn't been there since I was a little kid. Drove the van, which was hilarious.

Too bad about the girls. One more reason to hate Ankeny.

I wish my family was home. Home isn't the same without them.

This has been the best day ever ( Read more... )

I feel I need to apologize. In my itching to get out of my surroundings ASAP, I have neglected the one thing that keeps me sane here: my friend.
