almost all of my friends have boyfriends. i think i need to find some new friends or hang out more with other people.

it was beautiful this weekend. i hope chicago weather finally comes to its senses and stays nice.

trying to stay afloat... i'm so behind.

dancing is taking over my life again... feels good. but i'm sore from a tough practice.

i just realized that my formal is in 2 and a half weeks and i don't have a dress or a date. or prospects. cool.

MEXICOOOOOOOOOO!!! para no hablo espanol...

this is when school gets rough. when everyone else is wrapping up and we're still in midterms full swing and the end isn't really that close. oh well. at least i finally declared a major

it's never enough.

sunny blue skies put me in a good mood. and so does seeing the lake full of water and not covered in ice!

my friends are amazing. and i love running into people i'm not expecting to see on campus. it makes me happy.

i need some excitement in my life...

and to be able to find and buy clothes that fit. especially certain outfits that i need. i was at the mall for almost 4 hours today and i came home with nothing.

last week in a nutshell...

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 02:33:38 GMT

sketchy livin' in a hot, dirty, empty/full house and then moving to an awesome nice condo and being forever grateful for the 2 occupants for letting 6 girls stay there
practicing in a HOT gym that made us sweat before we even started dancing... and then sweating like 10 gallons a day and dripping and slipping
conditioning... wall sits and toe touches, anyone?
sharing said gym with a basketball camp that some of the NU players worked at
going to UW-Milwaukee for camp with 1600 other cheerleaders/dancers/mascots
busting it out in hip hop and pom (who knew i had it in me?)
is that milk? no, it's the dance team
barry youngblood
got asked to apply to be on UDA staff next summer
wooo hoo. black horse and a cherry tree...
wet poodle... drop your dog, in the water. twist and shout . mind on the road

camp k

Fri, 28 Jul 2006 21:34:25 GMT

today was my last day at camp. even though i worked there for over 6 weeks, i never wrote about it. crazy. i am totally exhausted. i am definitely going to miss some of the kids and counselors. even though i was thrown in head first, i learned a lot and had a ton of fun. who knew nature camp could be fun? maybe because i got to pretend i'm 5... all day.

and today, someone described me as "spunky" and i would never have described myself that way. i don't think i've ever been described that way. i think i like it. maybe i should act like i'm 5 all the time instead of taking life so seriously?

and one of my favorite kids dressed as superman today and it was awesome. he even wore superman underwear under his costume.
