Something about writing in the lj isn't as appealing anymore. Maybe it's because I don't feel like I can say what I want to without the whole world judging it and entries without much meaning aren't really worth reading... but anywho!
Everyone knows that Park Day occurred Friday afternoon and I really enjoyed it. I plan on going to Freedom Park a lot more from now on because it's so beautiful. I might start running there instead of the YMCA... that would be awesome. That park always reminds me of the Festival at the Park Junior year when I had a complete breakdown smack in the middle of a huge crowd because Patrick saw there was something wrong and completely brought it out of me. haha There are so many bittersweet memories that pop into my head these days because I know that high school is coming to an end so naturally I look back to see how far I've come and where I've been. What a learning experience... and I'm not really referring to the school aspect of it either haha. The only advice I can come up with for underclassmen is to take your own path in high school and take time to enjoy the moments.
I went to Raleigh yesterday to watch David graduate with a double major in computer and electrical engineering. I'm so proud of him, I know that he worked so hard. It made me want to graduate from high school so bad!! I can't wait to walk across that stage... David's ceremony really made me concerned about choosing a major though. All the people there, all those engineers, they had something to be proud about. Getting a degree in engineering is not an easy task and I thought to myself, someday I want to have that same feeling. The "I've been through hell, but now I'm here" feeling.
I'm really starting to feel at home at NC State. I'm learning my way around and really warming up to the idea of living there next year. Nathan, my brother's roomate, promised to teach me how to play racquet ball next year and Sam plans to take me under her wing. I'm excited... I'm going to college!! lol
But then again I started thinking about how far away everyone else will be. UNCC is 3-4 hours away, Warren Wilson and ASU are at least 5 hours away... geez! Of course I have nothing to worry about when it comes to these friends and keeping in touch with them. It's the people that I see every day at school and probably will never see again after this year that bother me. There are so many people that I'm friends with, but not close enough to arrange a way to keep contact.
Oh well, life goes on I guess. This weekend really kicked ass. Adam is 19 now and I've had my fill of Phil Collins for a lifetime lol. I went to the park, the symphony, Raleigh, and out to the barn. I'd say it's been pretty successful. My first and last IB exam will be tomorrow and Tuesday for Pyschology II so after that it's smooth sailing. Hope everyone has a great week.
