Neglected the journal again! Woohoo. It's what I do best.
I was kind of in a daze today. Kinda quiet and pensive... and sometimes I'd just stare off into space and not even be thinking about anything. I was kind of tired today, but not anymore than usual. I don't know... it was weird. I don't like having lots on my mind. It's getting old.
Lubbock's weather lately has been so amazing... I love it. It feels like summer time. I mean, it's been like 80-85 degrees, sunny, and not even that windy. It's awesome. I've played frisbee a few times and stuff and it's great.
Island Party was last weekend. Saw Lecrae (Christian rapper), Dave Barnes (so talented and hilarious), Radial Angel (hello... so good!), and Sean McDonald. I played frisbee with some people (some Cru kids and some Architecture kids) and throwed a football around with Lacey and her friends and juggled a volleyball (as though it was a soccer ball) with Chris and David Henze. I love messin around with a soccer ball (or a volleyball when there is no soccer ball)... I miss playing soccer. I was trying to keep the ball away from Chris at one point (like he was guarding me) and I definitely fell on the ground because my shoes have pretty much no treads and the ground was dusty (and therefore, slick). It was awesome, let me tell you. At least it didn't hurt. Haha. Anyway, Island Party was fun... and it had been forever since I had seen live music, and I LOVE live music. And thanks again to Lacey for taking me... we should hang out more.
I wish I could be completely open and say anything on here but I really can't. I want to talk about things that are really going on in my life, but this isn't the place I guess. I mean I could still write about it, except make the entry private... but I actually want people to read it, so... wow I just contradicted myself. Like I guess I want people to read about some things about me, but I know better than to make everything public. Does that make sense? Haha I'm not sure.
I haven't talked to many friends from home lately because I've barely been online. I've been so busy! I am totally looking forward to the summer when we can all hang out again. I want to go home! Less than 3 weeks and I will. I need a little time away from Lubbock.
I am not a fan of change but I know that change always works for the better. God will not put anything in my path that will permanently set me back. Sometimes when things happen that I don't like, I am so stubborn to fully accept them. I don't know what my problem is. I know in my head that things always work out for the better, but I need to get my heart on the same page. I also need to fully accept that God is all I need. I know it's true, but being human, it's hard to fully apply this to everything. I keep telling myself that He is all I need.... I can't stop doing that.
Did you know that I got a job again at Rockfish this summer? Yes, I am excited. I'll be a server this time instead of a hostess. Woohoo. More money and it might even be easier. They got a new manager... my favorite one (Brian) is gone and there is a new one named Marshall but supposedly he is really cool.
Tomorrow I will use the architecture wood shop for the first time. Haha hopefully it goes smoothly and I can make good progress on my final tectonics project. I'm building a model of a staircase... should be neat.
I need to work on my portfolio. It's like this big dark cloud hanging over my head, because I haven't really been getting much accomplished on it and I feel like I have a lot to do. I feel confident that I will get into the 2nd year with no problem, so that makes it hard to really put a lot of effort into my portfolio, but I don't want it to suck.
This summer I want to learn piano music by Chopin and Gershwin. And maybe take up some jazz piano. And I want to continue working out and get in better shape. And I want to swim a lot and get tan and play a lot of sports with my friends. And I want to make as much money as possible working. Oh yeah... and summer school. Two physics classes.... ew. But at least there's a chance I'll be able to be in the second one with Taylor and Steven! If they wait to take it the second summer term. That would be so awesome... it would make it a lot less of a drag. Because we could study together and stuff... staying home alone lots of nights studying does not sound like fun. BUT if Taylor and Steven are taking it with me, then it could be like old high school times when we did study groups together. Hooray!
I have two tests tomorrow (Calculus and Civil Engr) so I really need to study. Yuck... I better get on that so I can get to bed ASAP.
