orientation was an experience for me. it taught me i am ready to move on. i am fully prepared to be on my own. i can make new friends just fine without the support of my core group. it taught me that the person that i am around my core group right now is what i will carry on to college and that person that i am is who i want to be. i realized i can tackle college classes because i know where to get help or that it's just an e-mail away. i know that it is time to let go of some people. now the people that i really want to be friends with are the one's that will keep calling or i will find myself calling them. i'm excited because people see me as "Andrea" and i don't know which andrea that is. if i am still the andrea i have been all these years or if people will see me differently because they don't know my background. it's a new starting ground. a blank slate. tabula rasa! i can be whoever i want to be and nothing i have said before, or anything i have done will be held against me. i will of course come across friends again that will have a hard time putting chicks before dicks or i will again have friends that cannot commit to anything and are not motivated to do something unless other's are doing it. but the exciting part is it's someone new to deal with. someone who isn't predictable. maybe the new person can balance friends and boyfriends. maybe the new person likes talking during movies or doing random things at night. there are few people that give me this energy. like with kina..we can vibe...when i have energy so gets it too and everything turns into a fun time..like before she left on her cruise..we decided within a half hour we were driving downtown and going shopping because it was something we wanted to do so we did it..more of those people are missing in my life.. the one's that are up for anything..i can't wait to find others like that..
now that my life for sure isn't going to be stuck on high school mode and i've seen what college is like it makes me even more optimistic. less worrisome about the little things like work schedules, to-do lists that never end up getting done..instead i really do like what katie had in her journal..just laugh, smile, enjoy moments.. i mean high school is awesome..no regrets..it's just time to move on and luckily that time is coming soon.
things on my mind:
i heard the MB show is going to be stellar this year. i wanna see it soon. i hope band camp goes well. i wish more kids more in it becuase they are missing out.
these terrorists attacks in london suck..what jerks..two times to a nice city..i love the british
lance armstrong is amazing...7 times...and overcame cancer? how did he do it?
i need to travel back to hawaii..it's a place someone has to go to at least once in their life.
i wonder how kina's cruise is?
i wonder if this kid pete at work and i will go on a date?
i can't believe my NY trip is coming so soon...i'm glad no one has been reminding me about it or else i'd be too anxious by now..what do i pack..i have to be in style in NY!
there's a girl at RR that is getting married next weekend and she is 18. she is a normal girl, isn't getting married because she is pregnant, but just becuase. i'm sure he is a great guy but how weird will that be when she goes to college and girls are dating and she's like "sorry i can't date because i'm married." and if you love someone that much couldn't you wait a few years. people change duh!
i like the "these boots are made for walkin" song.
why haven't i seen rachel in forever.
goodnight..you can ignore these ramblings if you want :)
