Wow. I haven't written anything in here in ages. Hmmm. I guess I have a bit to recap from the past few weeks....Let's see, I went on a college tour and found my future college *hopefully*. I met an old friend, dated him for a month, and then we kind of drifted apart...you could say...now I'm applying to colleges and it sucks. I just had an awesome weekend at the fair the weekend before last. My grandparents that I haven't seen in over 4 years are currently at my house visiting for a week. Tomorrow is the end of said week. Well, that's a good start I suppose--now I'll expand!
I went on a college tour of Meredith, the all women's college here in NC, and I have decided that that is where I want to go. It is my first choice now, and I'm crossing my fingers. I'm also applying to UNCW, Gilford, Elon, and Western. I could see going to those schools as well, but Meredith is far and away my first choice. :) I already met several of the professors, and the Dean of admissions now knows me by name and face because the professor I talked to went and talked about me to the Dean. :) The afore-mentioned professor has even emailed me several times with upcoming events occuring at Meredith. It's fun.
The *boy*. Well, that was an experience. See, there was this guy that I knew form basketball. I always kind of had a thing for him, but he's always had a girl friend. He ended up breaking up w/ his girl friend when he found out that I would go out with him. So, we went out for a couple of weeks, but came to find that we have very different religious beliefs. For me, it really doesn't matter all that much. I didn't mind him believing something different, but it did bother me when he wanted to "show me the way." That's when I decided we were too different. This relationship lasted a grand total of four weeks...oh well--longer than my last one! lol.
ooohhh, the fair! Something FUN to talk about!! So, I went to the fair on both the saturday AND sunday of the opening weekend. Yes, I'm insane. Both days traffic was crazy, but traffic couldn't ruin either day. I went with my family on Saturday. That was fun. We didn't see many exhibits, but we rode some rides and played games and had lots of fun. Then Sunday I drove to the fair with Aimee and we met a whole group of people there. We ended up kind of ditching the group though and going off to do our own thing. (It was more fun that way). I LOVED all of the exhibits! Let's see, there were the gorgeous cakes, the scrapbooking displays, EVERYTHING in yesteryear, and this pumpkin carving display...then there were the cute little piggys and baby donkeys, and oh, I could go on for forever! I'll spare you. ;) Let's just say that was the best weekend I've had in forever...
My Grandparents came into town last Wednesday. I haven't seen them in years, and, sadly, it's unlikely that I will see them again. They are getting older and Mom isn't convinced that we will be able to see them again. It was good to see them and reconnect--in some ways--again. I don't know, my relationship with them is very odd...I never talk to them, aside from one or two phone calls a year. Does that count? I wish things were different, but there's really nothing I can change now...I'm just trying to enjoy their company while they're here.
Oh,I took some senior pictures yesterday. Yeah, ME! I'm a senior--ahhh, that's so scary. :) I'm hoping to take some at Duke Gardens this weekend.
While I'm being random--I got a 99% on my french midterm. Yes, I'm very proud of myself. Technically, i got a 99.25% because I only losst 3/4's of a point. Why couldn't my teacher round in to the nearest 100? ;) oh well. I'm happy with a 99/100. :) Well, I'm going off to bed so maybe I'll write something again before a ccouple months go by. Then again, no one really reads this so it doesn't matter...it's nice to journal things every once and a while tho!
