Fun goings on in my life ( Read more... )

It's certainly not the first rainy day we've had, but for some reason today feels like the beginning of autumn. Last night I was getting home from rehearsal and walking to my front porch and saw a solitary, lazy golden blink of light beside our dried-out cherry tree and simply thought, "Hm. The last firefly of summer." Now, whether or not it ( Read more... )

The more immersed I become in the Elon environment, the more I realize how much I've changed inwardly.  Whether or not people can tell that I've changed a lot, just the way I find myself reacting to situations and handling things is dramatically different so far than ever before. At this point, I like who I am, at least, it makes me content with ( Read more... )

This is definitely the longest strand of happy entries in my livejournal, ever. Yes, I'm still smiling, amazingly. I had one bad day on Sunday but it is all okay. And the good news is, I knew it would all be okay even when I was upset, and that is a step in the right direction! I am still into all the health stuff-- and I think this isn't a trend, ( Read more... )

Everything is dandy. I'm enjoying the down time, I am happy and I feel good, and I'm going to the beach in a nice quiet condo for a few days later on in the week. And I just got money for babysitting. And I appreciate money. And my wing of the townhouse is clean. And... yeah, things are good. So, there we are. And here I am.

Coming home from the beach has been remarkably healthy for me. Since being home, I have stumbled upon some people that have really led me to things that I think I need in my life and made me reconsider things that I don't need. First on this list of things I do need is to be completely health aware. It really does scare me, all the chemicals in ( Read more... )

Well, I am back in Burlington. All roads end here, it seems. NOT. Anyway, I'm somewhat devastated to have left the beach and somewhat happy as well. I left because there were some weird problems with some blood tests I had and my face swelled shut twice, resulting in late-night emergency room visits, but everything is fine, I think. I'll get it ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone actually reads this since I'm never on AIM anymore, but if you do... just a brief update of summer! We made it down here, we're really tan, we passed our lifeguarding test, and we work 60 hours a week with basically  no pay... we party a lot, sleep a little, work out a good bit, and play with lots of annoying children. I'll ( Read more... )

We leave in four days. Am I packed? No. Not at all. Nope. However, every single item of clothing I own is clean, including the crap that was in my car (which means several other people's clothes are clean). I also washed my sheets and towels and one of my Northfaces.... more things that calm me down a little bit. Katie and I went shopping the other ( Read more... )

So, the last two days were terrible but I'm really fine now. Tuesday was terrible for dumb reasons, and yesterday was terrible because... well, things did go wrong but I have come to the conclusion that I'm somewhat of a catastrophic thinker. It's a big complicated story about what happened yesterday, but I just found out that the one thing at Elon ( Read more... )
