The last day and a half have brought a lot of old things to the surface.   I sent an email to Zach apologizing for any awkwardness last year, and ironically enough he emailed me back and told me he had been thinking about calling me and apologizing as well (not really sure for what), so that was really interesting, because I was expecting a little ( Read more... )

I feel like I had something important to write, but now I can't remember what it was.

Had a good talk with Pam in the art building the other night....it's crazy how much I miss living with her- I barely see her anymore.  She's moving back to Texas for her grad work, and she mentioned that there are schools opening down there that pay quite good for ( Read more... )

Time to man up. Time to stop whining and make some decisions in my life.  Time to stop procrastinating, to stop putting off the inevitable.  Real life is creeping up at a maddening pace.  So I have to take tests. So I have to apply to things. What, am I scared of getting rejected, not being number one at everything? That I'll end up at Walgreen's ( Read more... )

 I'm doing it again. I promised myself when I came home from my last weekend before NZ that I wouldn't do this again ( Read more... )

 It's been a while since I've written...things have been pretty insane. Carina's wedding was lovely- she looked so pretty, and so excited, and the reception hall was incredible. Then spent the night at TJ and Megan's- I've forgotten how much I love that kid. He really is my big brother....not afraid the tell me when I'm being stupid, not afraid to ( Read more... )

 Exciting news in the life of Michelle! Ok well maybe not that exciting, but it's something out of the norm for me, so woot.  Friday night (yesterday) I went on a date! And oddly enough, it was with Kris Wiktorowski.  It's odd because we hadn't really talked since we graduated high school, and I saw him over the summer at one of Shannon's bonfires ( Read more... )

So I'm back. In the US. In the cold, snow and freezing nor'easters...

It's been a rollercoaster since I got back.  The first few days, well really every day until now has been a flurry of activity.  I got home wednesday night, got up and unpacked everything thursday, cleaned my room, and made preparations for friday. Then friday went shopping, made ( Read more... )

This is it. This is the end.  The end of my epic adventure, of my striking out into the great big world to make my own way.  The end of my declaration of independence, of my breaking the boundaries of the northern hemisphere.  Two months ago, I was sitting in Buffalo Airport, scared out of my mind.  Two months ago, I was a naive little girl who had ( Read more... )

 Oh my goodness....I only have 5 days left here.  .....Ahhh!!!!! There's a large part of me that doesn't want to leave.  I finally feel really settled here, I've really adjusted, started to carve a niche for myself. And now I have to go back and re-carve my niche at home. Boo. There's so much more I want to do here.  I didn't get a chance to go to ( Read more... )

I just sat through a class that completely explained why people don't like Christians. Since I only teach like one period on Wednesdays (drives me nuts!!) my deputy principal set me up to observe a whole bunch of different classes. So I was in my Year 8 Bible and Evangelism class, and the teacher is a really sweet American guy, almost old enough to ( Read more... )
