hahahahaha.  I have not  updated in a long time and I highly doubt anyone will read this..but oh well.

The last three months have BY FAR been three of the worst months of my life.  Essentially, everything was turned upside down and it sucked trying to figure out how to get things settled again.  Some friends totally stepped up to the plate, and for ( Read more... )

Haven't updated this in a long time and I am procrastinating...sooo... :)

Basically, things are going incredible right now.  For quite a few weeks, I've been very happy.  And this happiness has come from inside.  From my CHOOSING to be happy.  It's incredible.  As pessimestic as this sounds, I'm waiting for it to all come crashing down.  Which it ( Read more... )

I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing different in my life... but it is not working. 

It's crazy how quickly pain can come rushing back...   (No, this isn't anything terrible.. just a situation tonight reminded me A LOT of a painful situation I went through.. and yeah..)

I nearly cried watching 7th Heaven a little bit ago... how lame is that?  Seriously.

But beyond being lame, life is great.  For the first month of school sucked.  I was having trouble dealing with random things.. including but not limited to school stuff, church stuff, stupid drunk people stuff, boy stuff (missing a certain boy).  Yeah, things like ( Read more... )

In retrospect this last week sucked.

Three parking tickets.  One lost wallet.   Not enough sleep overall.  Having to get back into the routine of classes.

Yeah.  Not the best time ever.  HOWEVER..there were lots of great things that happened this week, and it looks like there will be a variety of awesome experiences coming up this semester..

So here' ( Read more... )

I think I'm truly learning how to balance things... I have a nice schedule anyway, but I'm making the most of it.

Ohhh, and my mom is like truly adjusting to life without me.  It's kind of nice, kind of weird, haha.  My dad still misses me a lot.. but that's his fault!  I offer to spend tons of time with him at home and he has other things to do...

Hmm..

My life in the last week has basically consisted of working, packing, being with friends, going on a date-type thing, and then today I began moving in.  It went a million times better than last year.  Not even joking.   Oh and my room rocks.  For real.  :D

I am pumped to go back for good tomorrow.  My parents are getting a bit sad, but they'll ( Read more... )

Things that have happened lately...

-I've had various appointments (dentist, etc.) 
- I was told by a friend that my name should be a black person's name and it should be spelled LaRissa..haha..oh dear...
-I decided this one girl from Bible study that I didn't like too much is one of the coolest ( Read more... )

Just thought I would update and say things are going very well.

I am SOOO excited to get back to Cedar Falls.. but I am going to miss my Bible study friends a lot.  They've been major blessings in my life, and I will miss them.  A lot.  It's funny how once you get to know people you realize how inaccurate your impressions of them are.  I thought ( Read more... )
