Thanksgiving break was glorious!! Well, not THAT glorious, but I had a really great time. I spent a lot of time with my family, which I always enjoy doing. There were about 12 people for dinner on Thursday, and then more people came in on Saturday. I saw my little cousin Marie, she's 12, and so innocent. I saw some of my other cousins too, which I ( Read more... )

Today is Saturday. Wednesday, I'll go home for Thanksgiving and come back on Sunday. It will be wonderful to be home. My car is in the shop, it's going to cost 400 to get it fixed. Awesome. I am still waiting to be trained for my new job at Intersearch, 7.50 an hour! Although, a job is useless if you don't work. Things have been very busy. School ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a very long week. The weekend was surprisingly fabulous. Friday I spent time with old friends, and Saturday, I spent the evening with Mike and Abby. Mike and I went for a walk in the freezing cold. I really especially super duper do not like cold weather. I was complete with hat scarf and gloves when we walked up to the pizza shop ( Read more... )

So today I leave for IUP. I'm extremely excited to leave, but I wish I could stay in Camp Hill just a little longer to spend some more time with everyone. I didn't get to see half the people I wanted. I feel bad about that, but I took a lot of time to rest and chill at my house because I am still not on a normal schedule. I went to bed at 10 last ( Read more... )

I'm Hooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmme!!! I missed Pennsylvania's greenness, and all of you. Really. I haven't heard crickets, or seen this many trees, or smelled whatever it is I smell, in a very long time. I can't wait to see tonight. I'm okay, Mongolia was wonderful...too much to say. I miss it already, especially the friends I made. It's a second home ( Read more... )

Today I leave for Pittsburgh. I'll stay in a hotel with my family for the night, and get up super early to make it to my flight. Currently, my bag is 12 pounds over weight. I need to put some of it into another bag to make for 2 carry-ons. There's a lot of stuff that I want to take. I am actually going for 2 months...like the family would joke ( Read more... )

Good bye's don't hurt until you're gone, I've learned that repeatedly. The hug and the final words are always innocent and heartfelt, but if you were to say what you think the minute they left, it would be a different story altogether. I'll miss everyone while I'm away. I hope life doesn't change to rapidly and I get left behind. Maybe i'm making ( Read more... )

Thanks to Mom, she talked me out of an anxiety attack typing thing last night as I was trying to fall asleep. This mural is KILLING ME. But, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I got paid today. $500. All this stress reimbursed in monetary value. Was it worth it? No!! Actually, it's alright. It's looking better. I had a good artist look at it ( Read more... )

Hello! I finally thought I'd catch up with the rest of you and make a journal. What did I do today? I worked on the mural I've been doing lately and i wanted to smash the wall with a sledge hammer today. But, I got over the hump, and I only have about 5 more hours to work on it. It's looking decent. The lady I'm doing this for is really getting to ( Read more... )
