Today was okay. I had to work from 10:30-7. I was supposed to work 9-5, but i overslept so I had to go in for 10:30. Sadly because of this, Im missing youth group right now :( Sad, but it's okay. Im getting over being sick, so I'm really tired and probably wouldnt have enjoyed youth group as much. Gainsville was really fun, and really hot. The campus was really pretty. I got to stay in the dorm overnite. My roomie was really funny! LOL. I didnt meet her until like 11:30 at nite. We kept missing each other. The first time i came to the room there were shoes. Later there was a bag and a pillow. Stuff kept appearing every time i came back to the room, but i never saw anyone! LOL it was pretty funny. My roomie's name was Ashley, and she was from Atlanta. We stayed up pretty late talking about different stuff. it was cool because me and her had similar values and personalities. We clicked pretty well. I hope and pray that it's like that with my real roomie in real life, cause that's for a whole year. I trust God, though, and Im sure that I will get a terrific roommate. I started thinking about how its gonna be when I move out. Its gonna be so weird to like PERMANENTLY move out of my house! I mean, that's mindblowing. And to not live with my parents and brother and sister is also mindblowing. I still have a whole year left, though. I want to enjoy every minute of it, because it will go by fast. School starts in 3 weeks from today. Im kind of indifferent to it at this time. i mean it will be cool to be a senior, i guess, but im not really looking forward to the rat race and all the work and stuff. In the meantime, I definitely need to hang out with my friends during the 3 weeks i have left. I really want to go to the movies and see Bewitched or The Island or anything.
Just for a minute, im going off on a tangent. I was having some really deep thoughts a couple days ago about friendships and stuff. I realized that truly seeing the character of people and determining who your real friends are comes with maturity. When you're younger, you think that everyone is your friend. You're naive and innocent to the harsh realities of life. On one hand, ignorance is bliss, but on the other hand, you really can get hurt when you dont know any better. As you grow older, you start to learn and grow wiser. With this wisdom, some of the innocence is lost, but you learn who you can trust and who you can't, and who's a real friend and who's not. Recently that's become very true for me.
Anyways, back to happy, less deep thoughts. Im gonna go home and watch a movie-not sure which one but its either gonna be Grease 2, I Robot, Secondhand Lions, Saturday Nite Live: the best of Eddie Murphy, or 10 Things i Hate About you. I've g2g ttyl,
