Well I've been here for like 2 1/2 weeks and we've already had over a week of classes. I'm completely overwhelmed already! YIKES!!! But it's okay. It'll get better and I'll just get to used to classes and piano and practicing and everything....so it'll be great, I'm sure!
It feels pretty good to be back here now. Well not neccessarily good, but it feels right. I feel like I need to be here now and that this is where I should be. And that's wonderful.
I've already made several new friends...some freshies, too....which is just awesome! I think that this year will be just so much better than last year ever was and I already know that I'm going to have a BLAST all the time when I'm in Phelps. It's awesome to have your friends just right around you all the time or just down the hall or just downstairs! :) I love it!
On another note, Alex called me last night. It was the first time I'd talked to him or heard from him since his accident....and when he said hey this is Alex on the phone last night I just lost it. I didn't know any of the details about what had happened or how he was really doing but when he told me everything last night it was just too much to handle...it was a lot worse than I realized and my heart just completely breaks for him. I can't even imagine not remembering anything...and not being myself....I can't understand what he's going through but I know how hard this is for him and what a horrible time he's having.
It just makes me think so much and realize how short life is and that it can all change in one instant....and that you have to tell people how you feel and don't hold things back until it's too late...that's no way to live...I mean what if you woke up one morning and couldn't remember what you'd done the day before, or who you'd talked to on the phone, or who you'd hung out with or why you were in the place you were in....what if you couldn't make memories and couldn't remember your life? I can't even think about that. But like I said it just makes me want to live every moment and love everyone and have fun and enjoy people and my life and realize how incredibly lucky I am! And no matter how hard my situation is or what I'm dealing with right now that I have it so good.....I love that kid and I can only hope and pray that he will continue to get better.
Another thing....I like my friends....a lot. All of you.
I'm really glad that Kristen and I have started talking a lot again and hanging out or whatever...it's nice to know that she's there for me b/c I have SO many wonderful friends but I feel like Kristen can give me really good advice in ways that a lot of my other friends can't...she's kind of like a big sister...and I'm just glad that we can talk about stuff together.
And of course Meghan. Do I even have to say anything? lol
Bu then again I have all these friends here at Hope too...and they are just AWESOME. I'm so happy....or if I'm not happy I'm well on my way to being happy again. lol :) And that's cool. it's a start, right?!
PS- Switchfoot is coming to Hope in November and I'm pretty excited....just FYI...haha
Okay I have to go to homework now and then we're going to see Snakes on a Plane! :) Whoa hey.
