College is kicking my ass. All of my classes are so insanely hard. I love them all, but it seems impossible to get a good grade in them. Maybe my expectations of how well I would do here were too high. That said, I pretty much love everything about college other than the studying and the fact that I miss all of my friends so much. I have met ( Read more... )

So Ruby and I are having a loser night because everyone else went out, and we are here doing homework. We were in our pajamas by 7 and we walked around the dorm in them while everyone else was walking out to go places. At least we are getting things accomplished though, and the paper that is due Wednesday is almost finished. Tomorrow we are ( Read more... )

So I am here and classes started yesterday. This is the first time I have really had a break from doing homework. My honors classes have an insane amount of work. I will be reading around 200 pages a night. The teachers told us we should read it more than once, like anyone will ever have time to actually do that. My spanish class has native ( Read more... )

This summer has actually turned out to be alright. My birthday was fun. I went to the Cheesecake Factory with my family. I went downtown with Natalie and our moms for her birthday. I love shopping down there. The last two weeks have been so much fun though, even though I basically did not sleep at all. I went on a babysitting trip with ( Read more... )

So today Natalie and I beasted on chocolate cake and watched the Parent Trap. I think we were overly excited about this too. I think that I really liked this 4th of July because of the big family bbq that we had. There was so much food, and today we get leftovers. Awesome. Natalie and I made pina coladas, and Natalie tried to figure out how to ( Read more... )

So lately I have been hanging out with my brother and cousins. Natalie and I have had some adventures. We go out for 3 a.m. food runs, hang out at airports, and go on buffalo hunts. We pretty much live at each others houses. We visited my Grandma's grave a few days ago. It was so sad. I haven't been there since the funeral. Natalie and I ( Read more... )

Yesterday I watched my cousin's adorable little dog wrap both of her paws around a box of tampons and open the box with her mouth. Then she pulled out a tampon and chewed off the wrapper. Natalie and I were fighting her to let go of the tampon, but she wouldn't. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. I have been having a lot of ( Read more... )

Well, the house is starting to take shape. The movers are her right now, and it is really nice to be able to have our own furniture here. Yesterday was the first time it really hit me that I live here now. It has kind of been feeling like I am here for the weekend, and I am going back to Richmond in a few days. I wish I knew more people, and ( Read more... )

Today I went to Coldstone and Q'doba's with Katie and Samantha. It was wonderful--we randomly stopped on the way home and ran through a field. Then we layed down in the grass and played the cloud game. We name the field Deep Thoughts Field because that is what we had there lol. After that I went to Devilette practice. It was so weird because I ( Read more... )

I went sailing today. I have never done that before, and it was so much fun. The lake is so relaxing. My face is fried. I chased after snakes with Arnold and Claire. They were hiding under the docks, but we got them to come and play with us. Last night I went to Tom's house and caught frogs. Good times. I've sort of decided that when I move ( Read more... )
