"It's About Time..."
hey guys. much has been going on. haven't updated in a looooong time, so there's a lot to talk about. =)
i'm currently at the library. i'm supposed to be studying, but i've been reading nonstop for a while, so i thought i'd take a break.
some summer stuff:
so how's this for graceful...i was volunteering with bethany and josh at ram the last weekend in july. we had to be at the volunteer site at like 5am because we were gonna do patient check-in. josh and bethany came to my house at like 4:30 to get me. it was pitch dark out, and i didn't think about turning my front light on because they were parked like 10 feet from the door. so i came off of the front steps and there were a bunch of rocks in from of the steps. of course, i trip on one of the rocks and completely ate the ground. i sprained my ankle all nice, and i still went to volunteer. i was being a good samaritan, and i end up with an ankle the size of a tennis ball. the swelling didn't really go down until this past week, and where it took so long for the swelling to go down, dad wanted me to go have x-rays taken. there weren't any broken bones, but i could have told the doctor that... he just told me to try to stay off of it for a couple more weeks. it's still sore, but it's A LOT better.
college:
i moved into the trailer last monday. and alicia and jessica moved in on friday. so i had a few days to set up my stuff and have some alone time. it was good because i had my alone time, justin heath came to see me one day, and i got to keep up with the olympics' swimming and gymnastics events. nosheen and i would talk on the phone from like 9-12 while we were watching the olympics. we've already decided that we're going to the beijing games in 2008. anyone want to tag-along? haha
speaking of the olympics...i'm pretty sure that i'm in love with michael phelps, actually, wait, i am in love with him. he's so pretty. haha. and it's impossible to be that good..it's ridiculous how good he is.
classes:
they don't seem that bad so far. a couple of my professors are precious. haha. i have a 200-page book i have to have read by monday though. and the book is a real page-turner. i'm halfway through it though, so i've managed. my ochem lab scares me a little.
i'm not too fond of parking...i've been leaving an hour before my classes so i can get a decent spot. i don't even want to think about all that mess when it rains...
my car:
it's being stupid. i wish i could have brought our truck, but mom and dad use it a lot, so that was out of the question. a system charging light or something came on the other day, and it turns out the alternator needed to be fixed. so i spent about $240 getting it fixed, and now the cd player and all that mess doesn't work. i have to get it reprogrammed or something...and dad called me the other night at 11 while i was reading my stupid 200-page book...and started yelling at me...for getting the car fixed. so that night ended in me crying because i was angry and then getting angrier because i was crying in the first place.
trailer life:
i really like the trailer because i can actually study. i focus a lot more there than i did on campus. it's not a bad place at all. it's decorated all nice, and i have my own room so i can do my own thing and not worry about bothering others. i like that i can actually cook, so i don't feel like i'm eating out all the time. i feel like i've been eating healthier. i don't have to walk 20 minutes to get to my car if i need to go somewhere.
but i've been feeling a little lonely. don't get me wrong, i looove alicia and jessica, but i can't expect them to entertain me all the time. i guess i just miss being surrounded by people in the dorms. i do miss just being able to roll out, go to class, come back to my room, and wait around for my next class. i really really miss 450 and 440.
living where i am is...bittersweet. there's more privacy, more quiet time for study time..that kind of stuff. there aren't any distractions. except for the neighbors who like to play really loud music off and on throughout the day from like 8am-11pm. but i miss being on campus surround by those who are distractions for me. maybe i just need to adjust some more.
plus i miss...him. talking to him has been one of the only things that has made me smile this week.
sorry if this entry has seem like it's a bunch of whining..i don't mean it to be like that at all...i guess just talking about it is my own therapy for all of it.
oh..and p.s., tim mcgraw's cd came out this week...and it's great. i recommend everyone get their own copy. =)
but i guess i should go study some more...
talk to you all later!
ya
