I leave for college in 18 days. My mom and I have spent the week shopping for clothes and dorm supplies. The entire summer I have been completely fine with my college situation, excited even. Now, however, I am beginning to become terrified and FSU has been looking better and better every day. My new extra-large pop-up hamper from Bed Bath and ( Read more... )

So basically back in May I bitched and moaned about how I thought the AP Macro exam went horribly and how I felt bad for Koerner because we bitched at him, yada yada.

So I've got three days of high school left and I am totally bummed. I know that's really weird, but I'm going to miss everyone so much. I'm not going to miss high school the institution, but I'm certainly going to miss Lincoln and I'm even going to miss some of my teachers (EEK!! Nerd Alert! Nerd Alert!).

Wow.  I am completely and totally floored by the brilliance that is The Phantom of the Opera.  I was somewhat confused throughout most of it, but thanks to Tanya's constant insights into the story and its background I managed to get through.  Wow!  It was simply wonderful, and the music was amazing.  Wow.  WOW!!!!!!!

Well, I tried to post an entry like three hours ago, but I somehow deleted it when I went to post it. (Completely common for me; I am the queen of computer morons.) I had vented about Valentine's Day, and how V-day always made me feel like crap, and how my wonderful coach, Andreanne, ingeniously renamed it "Single Awareness Day," and how I didn't ( Read more... )

Erin's been bugging me to start one of these, so now I have.  I guess that makes me cool like her.

Today was a pretty good day.  Erin and I went to Tropical Smoothie for lunch today for two reasons: 1) I've been craving Tropical Smoothie all week, and 2) I desperately wanted to avoid a certain person who's done nothing but annoy the crap out of ( Read more... )
