the rope gets loose, the chains unbind... & i can do anything...
hey just wanted to update since it's been 20 some days. sorry kids, your weekly plunge into ashley's so called interesting life hasn't been here for a while. hope you weren't too bored w/out it:-/
anyways, GOOD NEWS 1st!!!
i got into VT and JMU! my life is complete except i can't decide which one. both have their pros and cons. VT is awesome bc it is gigantic and beautiful, perfect school spirit and i love southerners and the south. yay for reagan-nostalgia. gotta love it. only big drawbacks are that it's 5 hrs away and you're pretty much just a number there since there are 25,000+ students. i'm not too crazy about that idea bc i don't want to get lost in all of it.
JMU on the other hand rocks because i know so many people there and wherever you go you hear about people who go there and love it like no other, blah blah. their main concern is focused on you and they're very personal. i also like the majors they offer bc lately i've been interested in therapeutic recreation - aka helping disabled people or those incapable of playing sports/doing activities on their own. i get to do pre-physical therapy stuff and help people. i think that would be awesome. i just realize that i wanna do something to help others. not to sound cheesy but that's what i love doing. i'm also into communications bc i'm creative and stuff when it comes to art and advertising so i think that would be fun too bc i get to work w/ people as well.
i used to think most people were worthless and that they didn't care about anyone or anything(some do, i won't put a gloss on it) but lately @ work i'm becoming pretty used to our regular customers and i like getting to know them and i love hearing about their lives and everything. sometimes we talk about their work, or their kids or w/e. it's really cool. i dunno i guess i'm becoming more laid back and easygoing now that most of my stress is over since there's only 2 months of school left and i got into my top schools. (raise the roof again haha). i've realized that i need to let go of worthless crap bc it doesn't matter and there's no use dwelling on it anymore. needless to say: i have seen the light. haha.
on another note, IMPACT was truly wonderful and more than i could have possibly hoped for. so much fun! i wish i could hang out w/ those people all the time. it's so great just being in the word and knowing that everyone there believes the same thing you do and you can just let stuff go and talk about anything. i liked bonding w/ my girls the best though and getting to know new people/making new friends like jayne, will, andrew, nick and elliot just to name a few. they're all very cool.
i would go into more detail about my whole IMPACT experience but right now i don't have much time bc i'm really tired since my boss called me while i was asleep @ 7:30 and asked me to come in asap... bc stupid people don't take responsibility and come in. i was really pissed off bc i was supposed to go in @ 12 and i was going to sleep in til 11 or so. oh well. forget that. i work again wednesday and thursday and then fri-mon i have off for rest and/or college visits i dunno.
spring break has been pretty cool so far. kelvins party part III last night was pretty fun. lol. part IV for others i believe but it's pretty awesome being able to hang out w/ everyone that often. we just play pool and videogames and chill. good times, good times. saturday night was kinda scary, reasons i won't get into, but i learned i have a few great guy friends who will take care of people in their worst times. needless to say, i was very surprised and i just wanna say us girls are thankful for boys like you all lol. anyways enough about that. i think i'm going to go watch the breakfast club bc it's one of the greatest 80's movies of all time.
if you wanna hang out over break just call the cell! i'll be around @ night most likely.
