Thanks for the killer game of Crisco Twister…

So here I stand -- ready. Well, almost. I’m surrounded by gifts from people - of people, of materials to help me along my way, and with so many amazing memories.

I think my last two posts summarize everything I can articulate for the time being. Truth be told, I’m not in much of a mood to update either, although I still enjoy attempting to bring

Comments

JAMES!!!! It's Kristiane!...Thank you so much for commenting it was such a suprise, but it was a good one! Yeah it's okay, i'm hurting alot but it's getting a little better every day and i still try to talk to him you know, i loved him alot so i couldn't bring myself to let him go just like that. Enough of that though, its majorly depressing...

That's funny that you based your college essay on LIFE, I did too. I had too. It made such a profound effect on my life and the people were just great. And OMG the experiences were awesome. I would love to get together with everybody again and just chill...

how do u feel about not being hs anymore? I don't know about you but i miss high school years...i really do. Everything was so...different. You know. Those were the good days. But college is okay. I like it. Oh I see Brian every day at school, he's such a goof but an overall good guy lol. I talk to sam sometimes and mark chapa every now and then. Brian came into my work the other day, not buying anything just hanging out lol. I'm like who does that?!

I wish you the best in Boston and of course I would love to keep intouch and see how life's treatin' ya. Aside from the obvious heartbreak, life is dealing some good cards for me. I'm just at this point where i'm trying to re-figure my life out. You know. The Breaking Point i guess...if ya ever want to talk holla...its 313 0743...Laters

There’s beauty in the breakdown…

I’ve come to the understanding that everything a person experiences (situations, problems, and the accompanying emotions) are drawn to you with the idea that you have the solution to the equation. They help you refocus what’s important to you - the things that make you feel happiest when you wake up - so that you are able to recognize them in the present because it’ll always be a part of your past. That’s essentially what my LIFE essay was about, and I think it applies to EVERYTHING, not just the 9 days we spent out in the middle of nowhere.

I sometimes miss HS. Not so much the school (though I had some amazing teachers), but the overall laziness haha. Like ROTC, where I had the easiest job ever, and always seemed to get praised for the simplest things. Or Religion IV, where I slept for two hours on A-block days. Things like that. I also miss the rifle team, but that’s because we were always winning and went on so many trips to compete nationally. Before joining the team, I never traveled out of state…but now I’ve been to Colorado, Kentucky, Nashville, and Atlanta to name a few. Good times!!! =)

Anyhoot, all us LIFErs need to meet back up one last time. This sounds corny, but I’ve never been to Mi Tierra downtown, so perhaps you guys would be up for that. I’ll call you sometime today, and wish you a happy new year’s. Peace.
