"And I do appreciate you being round..."
Well old friend...it's been a while...you're looking good though...hehe anywho....so last weekend I went home for the first time to see none other than HANSON...oh and my family haha. But it was so great to see my mom, dad, Grandmom, Robert, and Lily. I din't get to see Robert that long because he was just leaving for football, but it was just like nothing had changed. I could tell that he was happy to see me and that made me really happy. Out of everyone, I probably missed Robert the most because my dad had come up before to fix my computer and my mom came up to drop off my much needed comforter. And Lily was so excited when I walked in the door! She took like 3 laps around my mom's bed when she saw me...but then she hopped into my Grandmom's lap...figures hehe.
My mom first took my sister and I to the Christiana mall to none other than the Gap and I got my first dressy winter coat, a new sweater, and two shirts. When I got home, I just sunk into my couch with the new People Magazine-which had an article about Bon Jovi in it :) They're working on four homes with habitat for humanity...man I love this band (Dec 3rd people!).
My first experience seeing HANSON was amazing. Perhaps what was even more amazing was seeing Amanda work her craft of bobbing and weaving in and out of hostile teenage girls and one smelly old man in a trench coat to get closer to the front. Let me just say that Isaac is beautiful and despite the fact that they didn't play "crazy beautiful," "get up and go," or "penny and me", lol it was still so much fun to spend time with a great band and one of my best friends :)
School's going well...I guess it depends on how you look at it. On the one hand, I'm having so much fun here hanging out with the people on my floor and going out on the weekends, but on the other hand my grades aren't anything like what I want them to be. My classes are really hard...econ, math, and my computer class are a struggle. But, I love my hospitality class and all of my clubs-we made cinnamon buns, peasant bread, and banana bread in my baker's dozen club...needless to say it was delicious. I think that with my next tests and finals, I should be able to push it out and get okay grades...it's just so hard because tests are NOT my strong point, but I'm definitely working on it.
I like to think that I haven't changed...I mean I still feel weird making eye contact with strangers on the street, I still gag at the sight of a wet paper towel, I still probably own more pairs of pajamas than clothes, I still get nervous when ordering food, and well, I still worry a lot unfortunately. CONFIDENCE...I'm working on it. I just don't want to be that person who comes back from college and acts a totally different way. I know that I can be mean sometimes, and I'm so sorry for that, but I'm still trying really hard to live up to that 8th grade superlative hehe. But I'll always be here and I'll always be me, whether it's Elise, LC, Elsie, or...Cameltoe Compton lol...I'll never live that down...even though it's completely untrue! haha
I miss all of you so much and I cannot WAIT until Thanksgiving...to have the best excuse ever to eat as much turkey as humanly possible...oh and all of your friendships...I guess hehe
Oh and a word of advice: never watch Saw like 5 mins before going to bed...now I know what Laura was going through hehe...and I'm still a little scared...I'm not gonna lie
"Where's the love? It's not enough!"
Love, LC
