Anything, Everything, Swim Across the Atlantic Ocean While Eating Cherry Pie
Don't ask me about that title, I have no idea what I was thinking.
I figured I'd write one of my famous l-o-n-g entries before homework time -- which by the way, I don't have much of tonight. Thank you Jesus!
Anyways, The weekend was beautiful. It was probably the most beautiful weekend that Jacksonville has experienced in a long time. I did not get to experience it. *sticks tongue out and blows like a 2 year old at nothing in particular* It was great. Clear skies, the sky smelled like fresh berries. (don't ask me why, that just sounded like a good metaphor) The grass seemed greener, the sky had those pretty clouds the whisped and ran across the sky like God had taken a giant paintbrush and just went "Swoosh!" right across the atmosphere. It's cool how He can do that whenever he feels like brightening someone's day.
Anyways, I usually don't feel like doing anything on weekends except sleeping and resting on the couch. (You know, I don't get a lot of hours of sleep on weekdays) But, this weekend -- the weekend I was forced to stay inside the confines of my home -- I feel like racing outside along the weeds and allergens. I wasn't actually forced inside, but I did have 2 sick days to make up and a lot of regular homework. I spent about 3 hours on it Saturday and collapsed in a coma (a nap) from the exhaustion. Then I spent 5 hours on it Sunday and again passed out (a nap) on the couch. I woke up in time to watch the sun set. I tell you, I have never seen a sun set so beautiful on this side of town. Too bad I didn't have any friends to share it with. This neighborhood...I swear.
A night a few weeks ago was a confusing night. Not actually confusing...there was just a lot of emotions and thoughts flying around in my head.
I went to a high school football game. One thing I was thinking for sure throughout the whole time (over and over again, I tell you) was how much I loved DASOTA being my school. I thought DASOTA was big. But, compared to this school...man it was a pipsqueak. I have found myself liking smaller things better in every aspect of my life. (No pun intended to my future husband out there. Size does not matter. ;) Wink*Wink*Nudge*Nudge) Anyways, (now that I've had my perverted moment for the week) there were soooo many people there. I mean HUNDREDS! It was mind boggling following my friend that had been visiting Jacksonville around in bumper to bumper human traffic. First, I was disappointed because we were actually gonna just walk around the school and talk. But, the guy at the gate was mean and wouldn't let us out. Then, I was angry because I met some of her friends and they are not the best people. The guy we were hanging out with the most smoked and was all over her! I mean it looked like they were going out and he has a g/f! I asked her about it and she said that he normally didn't act like that and she was wondering why he was all over her as well. I was thinking (sorry, if you are reading this) Why didn't you just push him off you? Or tell him you don't like him being that close to you? She comes from a different state and has a different personality than me, so I guess what I would do is not what she would do. We raced eachother on the practice football feild and joked around for a bit. That lightened my tense mood. :) But, then he actually said "I'm gonna smoke a cigarrete" That's when I decided it was time to ask her if we could leave. She saw I was bored or disgusted (one of the two) and we walked off on our own. That was when the real fun started. We almost broke into the pool for a nice swim (kidding!) and we talked to this really cute sophmore for a bit. And we walked to the front of the school, talked, I showed her how to walk like a model (long story, don't ask) and we talked some more. When her mom dropped me off, neither of us felt like parting ways but neither of us felt like going back to our houses. We both really need to go on vacation because this stress is so overpowering at times!
Today (Monday) was a L-O-N-G day. None of my classes were interesting at all. I'm just glad I got A DAY over with and tomorrow is a B DAY. B DAY's are always so great. :)
