i can't believe that school is starting in a week. where did my summer go? lately i've been back-to-school shopping with me madre, that was actually not too bad (surprisingly). i went over to sarah's house today to lay out with her, what i thought would be a relaxing day just the two of us, reading william faulkner's the sound and the fury (that ( Read more... )

being home is so weird! i got back from the beach yesterday afternoon and just hung out on saturday night. i ended up actually talking to tom and clay for a few hours (surprise, i know...). anyways, i went to church this morning and sang with spirit song which was fun. i really missed that. i also sang "Like a Little Child" with my parents and that ( Read more... )

i don't even know where to begin. i'm afraid the tears may come again if i say too much, but i want to express what i feel. sitting at home feels so weird, so different. i miss my friends, my life. and my dad bothering me right now is the reason i don't want to be home. yes dad, i'll rinse my plate off. yes dad, i'll put my shampoo away. ug ( Read more... )

it is so sad that GSE is almost over. i have no idea what i will do when i get home- it will be so incredibly boring. luckily i'm leaving for the beach on sunday so that won't be too bad. i'm going with my family, jenna's family, and the huethers ( Read more... )

wow... it has been like 4 days since i've updated. so i won't give specific details, but just the general highs and lows. clay and i talked, and smoothed a lot of things out. yeah, wow. that was a talk that i was (and yet wasn't) expecting... i'm not going to say what we talked about, just that we're really really good friends now. our quartet for ( Read more... )

ok... now i'll actually talk about today. i went to classes and then had quartet practice before third and then practiced some chopin (progidy boy- i think i'll actually play something for you tomorrow!!). area 3 wasnt horrible today, we mostly talked about kerry vs. bush and the war on iraq/terror. that was ok, even though i got shot down a lot. a ( Read more... )

so yesterday got a little better, but not a ton. i slept in late and was woken by two phone calls (cough becky and clay), but i still luv ya! i sat in a practice room for about an hour practicing chopin, getting my mind off of the horrible night i had on saturday and that helped. mostly the whole day was overshadowed by the horrible dance on ( Read more... )

yeah, so yesterday had to rank up there with the worst days of my life. we had chorus and then area 2- which was so much fun! we made our own systems of ethics and values and our group made this system of government that's like a dictatorial rule and all sorts of funny stuff. it was so cool- go tom and the ninjas!! then we had lunch and clay and i ( Read more... )

funniest thing ever happened to me at quizno's today. clay and becky and i were getting ready to cross the street and a car crossed right in front of us. right before that time we were talking about a girl named claire, so right as clay was stepping out (like almost in front of a car!!) onto the street, i yelled, "NO CLAIRE!!!" it was absolutely ( Read more... )

so i actually got up in time this morning to get to go to breakfast- that was very exciting, just trust me. after that i went to chorus, that was fine. then i walked around with elizabeth and got ready for my workshop on domestic violence in kresge during 3rd period. our workshop went very very well considering we had never practiced it, at all.
