Yes Mom...my foot is still taped up.
I got a 3.002 this semester. That's never happened before...knocked my cumulative up a lot. I was/am psyched. And I'm 21. The kayak trip was too long/interesting/detailed/boring/tight-knit to really talk about on here, suffice it to say it was totally rad. I loved every minute of it. Minus Thursday evening until 2AMish Friday night/Saturday morning. But by then the effing Nor'Easter was over and we were dry and semi-safe at Stephen's house. Absolutely amazing trip. Made some new friends and got way closer to the ones I already knew. I'm going through withdrawl from some of them, I think. They really kept me going. Luckily almost everyone will be here this summer, and either here on the island or really close. There was some futile and unintended flirting...in one case it got me nowhere, in another it might have been misleading. We'll see how it pans out. Hopefully getting up with Rick on Monday. My bday was during the trip too. I had the best birthday. We had an 8 mile paddle, beautiful weather, and a great beach to chill on. The 4 children bought me a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne, and Des bought me a bday cake...Everyone at the restaurant on the 9th sang happy birthday, and brought me strawberry shortcake...I was psyched. It was seriously the best birthday EVAR. And then I got 2 out of 3 cards from Ally...I DIED reading the 2nd one...I got it first. The girls upstairs moved out at some point while I was gone, but the Dunbar's oldest 2 kids are up there with some friends...they've been so freakin' loud we can't stand it. So much worse than the girls. Lauren's having a sleepover tonight with a few of her girls. Cassidy and I watched a few episodes of Friends in her room. We made a kick-ass dinner too. It really was good. I had a hard time falling asleep in my bed last night, after dreaming of it for 9 nights, it was too soft. Almost wanted the sleeping bag back. Almost. Made a confession to John tonight and felt like an idiot. I felt kinda bad, I think he hears that type of thing a lot. He played it off, like "Silly girls, silly boys" but the conversation kinda died after that. It's hard to read into IM conversations. I think he's the one I'm going through withdrawl from, really. Even when we werent hanging out, I could always hear him talking and making stupid jokes. I'll put up some good pics if I ever get around to it. I really should write my journals tomorrow. I think that would be wise. ::sigh:: Thanks to all my friends that remembered my bday...you really have no idea how much it meant. I got 11 vmails from people from late Monday night until Thursday night, and I think all but one were for my bday. I know, I'm getting over excited, but bdays (anyone's) is such a big deal in my family, and I love them...they're the selfish days. And I've had a few shitty ones, so I was thrilled to have it be so nice. Oh, and my arms are buff, teehee. And I read an entire book today. I cried in it. It was heart-wrenching, actually. The characters were 4 teenage girls, I think they were actually like 15 years old...but their issues were so grownup and dramatic...I couldn't even imagine. And four of them put together, I was a mess. Anyway, I'm so past my bedtime. Goodnight, loves.
