hey ya'll!
warning: i don't actually have anything to say, but realized that i hadn't updated in a while.
first of all, i have a confession. nashville is kind of rubbing off on me. i'm listening to country music right now. i know, it's scary. but don't worry, i listen to lots and lots of music, and it just so happens to be country right now. i wouldn't say i'm "converted" yet.
let's see....this week. very long and tiring. and now this weekend is flying by, which is scary. i finally got a decent night's sleep last night. slept 2 hours, was woken up at 3ish by the phone, back asleep by 4ish, up at 8 to go Kerry campaigning, changed my mind and got back in bed at 9, and then slep till 1 (sadly more than i had slept the rest of the night...). this morning (actually, afternoon, but whatever) the hall smelled like vomit. oh wait, it still does. it's really starting to irritate me how these girls get drunk, get sick all over the place, and then don't clean it up. don't even get me started on drinking in general. i could go on for hours and hours. something will have to be done.
in addition to all the homework junk of last week, it was especially difficult because i was emotionally exhausted. still am. when one of your best friends is upset, you need to help him no matter what, but i'm 4 hours away, and can't really do anything, and it's very frustrating. and i feel like the hours and hours on the phone haven't done all that they should've. i want to help, but he's just so upset that he doesn't listen. it's very very sad for me to know that he's this upset and that i can't make it better. several times this week, i've just needed to curl up and cry because this is so difficult for me. and i'm the one that's supposed to be strong and helpful, but i just can't. GRRR. hopefully he'll feel better after a few weeks. sometimes only time can heal i guess. for those of you that feel motivated, please pray for my/our friend. he is having a very difficult time with breaking up and moving on when he still loves this girl. pray that he can find emotional strength to cope with something that is so difficult. pray that he handles things rationally, even when he is suffering from outrageous and consuming emotions. i don't want to give more details on livejournal, sorry.
well, in spite of all that rambling, vandy's still going well, i promise. i get frustrated when people drink irresponsibly, but i know awesome people in band and such that are "normal" and a whole lot of fun. i miss my "real" friends though. i watched big brother and finding nemo last night, and missed denise so much i just about died. all these little things make me think of people. it's completely random, but i just suddenly think "aww, Abby" or "where's Heather when i need her" and same for the rest of you. i can't wait to see ya'll in a few weeks/months, as the case may be.
the hurricanes are really annoying. by the time they get up here, they aren't dangerous anymore, just wet/windy enough to really piss me off. one more, and i'm moving south so that they're big enough to intimidate me.
alright ya'll, i think that's more than enough for now. i'm going to eat my oreos, drink my mountain dew, listen to my awful country music, saw ya'll to my little tennessean heart's content, and hopefully study a bit tonight. oh, any thoughts on whether i should transfer my vote to TN, a swing state, or stay in Indy and vote for kernan? help help.
take care!
