mmmm. mission trip boys. what is it about them??? so cute. so tempting. so off-limits (on the trip at least). but so off-limits, in general, on the grounds of being seniors.

*exasperation*

tomorrow i will be home!
but none of you will be there. ugh :-( what's the point? everyone's coming home the weekend after me.

i can tell that i'm going to love it here, once i get used to everything. i just don't love it yet.
i called my house last night at like 1130 when i got in and my dad picked it up almost right away and my mom picked the other phone up about two seconds later and said "katie?" i think they were waiting for me to call, which is a nice feeling. it felt ( Read more... )

i just said this to hei-yue in an IM, but i'm going to say it again:

today, i talked to the first conn freshman so far who has said "i'm scared" instead of "OMG OMG SO EXCITED AHH"
and i felt a lot better.

i love you!
