Written for Scholastic last year:

My world is a playground.  I climb up on top of the monkey bars and defiantly turn back flips.  Fear is nonexistent here.  My swing set takes me higher and higher; I pump my legs vigorously, until I can almost touch the clouds and feel their cotton candy fluffiness.

I can imagine anything, pushing the boundaries ( Read more... )

I figure I should try to post more here if not for any other reason than to preserve memories.  And since I can't seem to keep a consistent written diary, this should be more than good enough ( Read more... )

I don't know if I'm up late or I woke up early...but I do know I have a massive headache probably either from sleeping 2 hours or from 3 double shots/24 hrs.  This entry will likely be rambly.

Friends

Jeff, Kari, Francis, and Jen Ju visited UVA! They came on Tuesday, stayed a night, and left yesterday.  I'm in a nostalgic mood right now partly ( Read more... )

Been back a week and of course I've already effectively screwed up my sleep schedule.  I napped from 2-5, talked to David for a bit but then he fell asleep around 6:30.  I kind of like being awake at random times during the night/morning when everyone else is sleeping. The ironic thing is I like having time to myself, but I don't like being ( Read more... )

I know New Years was nearly a week ago, but I haven't really thought about it until now.  New Years Eve was uneventful (I stayed home and watched Friends) and this past week has been busy because of work and skiing and partiessss, well actually just one party...  Anyway, a new year doesn't really mean much to me other than it's a good time to look ( Read more... )

there'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting, and caroling out in the snow

I am one paper away from winter break....  It's due tomorrow at 5 pm and I haven't started, but I really can't seem to bring myself to focus.  Every time I start work, the prospect of going home makes me so happy that I either start packing, listening to my ( Read more... )

Writing always becomes a last priority for me when I'm overloaded with work, activities, and just have stuff going on.  I've had little alone time these past few weeks to even gather my thoughts much less write.  Right now I'm in Steve and David's room but they + Jenny are all out so I'm by myself.  I brought my journal to college, but I think I'll ( Read more... )

some thoughts i've had these past couple of days ( Read more... )

It bothers me to see people be so easily influenced by others.  Negatively, I mean.

On another note, I'm tired and I never have anything to write in LJ.

A list

• I don't feel very stressed about college.  I don't feel like there's anything else I can do as I am done with SATs and essays and stuff...HAH!
• Thanksgiving lunches are at the better end of the ( Read more... )

Sure

Senior year has been...noticeably different because of new freedoms (mostly driving!).  It's really a lot better than I had imagined.  It's exhilarating being able to go wherever, whenever. Leave home whenever you want.  Leave school whenever you want. We're not subject to the dumb bus schedules anymore!  Too bad I don't have a car of my own.
