It's been awhile...
It's certainly been awhile since I've said anything in here, but I wanted something to actually say. I think this semester gave me a lot to talk about, so here we go....
I finished my LAST semester in a marching band ensemble. If I wasn't graduating, I probably would not be doing it next year on account that my legs and arms have been telling me that I'm done (What am I saying though? I still woulda done it). These group of guys (and some girls) are probably among the people I will miss the most. They gave me great courage to get through a lot of the events I have had to get through in the past few years. I love them so much!
Alex broke up with me almost two weeks ago. I was hysterical as anyone would be after nearly a year and a half of dating. I left that night to decatur to let Mickey save the day. Thank you Mickey, you know I love you for that night: providing me a place to sleep, and a shoulder to cry on. You're a great friend. Anywho, the next day, I went to Alton to spend time with Caitlin (in an attempt to forget about Alex) and to Edwardsville to spend time with Ashely. Ashley talked to alex, got him to fess up to why we broke up, and we've been ok since then. Thank you too Ashley, you really helped me even when I didn't expect nor want you too. Like a good friend, I can always count on you.
After a week and a half, I feel like I'm pretty much past it, but of course, I haven't been back to Macomb, I haven't been back to the house we share with Tom, and I haven't gotten back into my daily life, so really I'd like to think I'm in a small state of denial at the moment. But I'm feelin good, so no worries for at least right now.
Regardless of whether I will feel bad when getting back to school, I do have an awesome support of friends, which is more than what I could say for the last time I ended a relationship. I really feel that college completely changed me, and what kind of people I associate myself with, and for that...I am truly grateful.
Anyway...back to the other things in my life...
I just completed my second to LAST semester in college, and quite well might I add! I got 4 As and 1 B. The B was a B+ which sucks, but I think I was too overloaded, and something had to give. I met a few friends last year, and became really close to them this (calender) year to the point where, I almost wish I was here another year.... almost. I'm really excited to be moving on to the next chapter in my life, even though I'll miss western, and all it has brought me. I'm ready, ready to leave macomb, ready to get out into that great beautiful world....beyond the cornfields!
So what is next for Angela? Graduate school...hopefully. As of last night, I completed 4 application packets for 4 different schools. Two of the schools wanted me to send the same thing to two different places on their campus (stupid), but oh well. I worked on them for two days almost nonstop, and got them done. I have one school that I don't expect, but want to get into; University of Illinois-Chicago. Two schools that I wouldn't mind going to that are fairly approachable; Northern Illinois University and University of Missouri-Columbia, and one safety school; Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (these are all based on the departments I'm applying to..NOT the university itself).
What am I going into? Public Administration. I want to work for the government, and that's the best degree to get myself started. As well, I will be trying to get my graphic design business out there. I finally thought of a name, it will be "Pixel Perfect Solutions".
For new years, I will be spending time with Ashley in Edwardsville with all of her friends at Cougar most likely. I can't wait! It should be a very good time!
As I approach my final semester at Western, I'm thinking that instead of being depressed (even though there will be times I can't help it), I will proceed to throw myself into my school work, and into hanging out with the few friends I do have left at Western. Caitlin and Sam really are the only ones there left that are close friends. The rest are acquaitences, which I am sure will spend some time with as well. Beef said he was going to come down before school starts so we could hang out, and Sheila is supposed to come down sometime in March. I look forward to both experiences.
I anticipate much for the new year. For one, my sister, Melissa will be giving birth to twins by march or april, I will be graduating and moving out of macomb in May, only to move in with my sister, Linda for two months before starting graduate school. Linda is being set up by one of her friends with this one guy that she doesn't seem to mind so much. Mom says maybe we'll be hearing wedding bells next year (given that it took 3 months for Melissa to decide this). I'm not sure about that, but we'll see.
I think I'm definitely ready to put 2006 behind me, and move forward. 2007..come and get me. I'm ready for anything ya got!
