| ThanksgivingSo, wow I have not been here forever. So it is Thanksgiving day and we got done eating like an hour ago. I have been home again for break this time. Visited a friend at Wittenburg for the weekend, drove home on Monday and have been home since. We had some friends over last night for a game night. It was pretty fun, but I think that we need newer games. I will write more later. Right now my dad is begging for me to get off the laptop.

| HomeSo, I am going home in less than 12 hours. It is going to be a really quick trip, but I am looking forward to it as much as possible, seeing the circumstances that I am going for. My grandmama died last weekend, like I stated in my other entry and her memorial service is tomorrow. I think that it is going to be so strange for me b/c I have never exprienced a close death in my family before. It puts life in perspective for you. I am struggle with life right now, you know. Not like life itself, but what is my purpose and what am I suppose to do. Right now I am just living sun up to the next. I hope that something happens that will bring me excitement soon. Oh, back on subject, at the service tomorrow I will see my aunt's family. I saw three of them this past summer for like 4 weeks, but I have not seen my uncle and oldest cousin for like a year or something like that. So that will be nice to see them. My uncle is going to do the service, oldest cousin will lead the singing, he is an awesome singer, and my brother will give a prayer or something. I never have attended a family funeral before and I am not sure how I will react. I guess you could say that I am a little nervous. Well, anyways. I will write again soon. Wish me a safe trip! | | |
| LIFESo, I have not written in forever, but all is good, well as good as it can be. My grandma just passed away Friday, in her sleep. It was for the best, but I am still going to miss her. It is different knowing they are still there somewhere and then knowing they are gone. I hope everyone at home is fine, especially my mom and Granddad. Memorial service is this Friday so I will be flying home for like a day for the service. School has me busy like crazy. Studying all the time it seems, but then it doesn't. I am also working as much as possible too. I had a run in with my advisor today and was pretty upset by what he said to me. I just thought he confronted the whole situation the wrong way. I made a mistake in my wording of a question in the interview and it was taken the wrong way. I just am not sure about the whole training thing here. I feel very uncomfortable going in and now that this happened I really do not want to go in at all. I am just not sure what to do in a situation like this. So, that got me pretty upset today. Other than that, I have been living life as much as possible with school work coming at you from every angle. I am hoping that the semester will get better especially in my A&P class. We have a test on Thurs. so pray that I will do well on it. Have gained a lot of new friends that crack me up a lot. They are seriously so funny sometimes! Well, that is it. | | |
| TO MUCH TO DO > SO LITTLE TIME!!So, I have been back at school for a 1 1/2 weeks. It feels like I have been here forever already though! Things went great coming down here and getting settled in. The only thing is where to find money to do laundry?!
I have started out great. I came to school with a different me. I am trying to be more confident in myself and in things around me. I would like people to look at me and say "WOW, I want to know who she is!" I think it is working so far to. I have met a lot of people already this semester and I am talking to people in my classes, etc.
Returning to the training room has been great. Funny how you miss something without realizing it. All the football players that I knew last year greeted me nicely on my first day back and I have met a few others too! They are great guys, at least out on the field when I talk to them a little or see them around campus. I am in class with four of them so that is fun. I don't travel with the team so I get to copy notes for them.
Classes are okay. I have a lot of work with them all. To much of it to get it all done in a day it seems. I mean I just feel like there is a lot, but there probably really isn't. I am worried about my A&P class. Have an exam next week that makes me a little nervous.
I have two jobs now. One is still at the Harding Pool, which I work two early morning shifts and one evening shift, that I might drop. The other job I just got at Searcy Athletic Club. I really like it so far. I also think that has to do with the fact that it is so different from lifeguarding. I have to wear an actual work outfit so that is different too! I get a free membership which is great for all the equipment that they have. I really like it so far!
Anyways, as you can probably guess that I do so much that there doesn't seem enough time sometimes to get things done, or I just completely forget to do it. I hope that I don't get tired of my schedule this semester, which would be bad seeing that it is only the second week of school. I can't wait for break already!!
Oh, I also have my horse here, which is great for stress release and makes me feel more at home. I love the fact that I can go out there and spend time with her, just being me and bounding with Pilgrim. I think that she really likes it here too!
Well, that is basically my life so far.
Oh, question of the week or month depending when I get on here again. . .
I have never just talked to a guy or went on a date . . . if someone asked, but I don't know him very well, should I say yes, or talk to him or what? And what if he isn't really my type? Any suggestions?

| I can't believe that basically I only have a month and a half left of summer. It has gone by too fast. I start my second session of lessons this coming Monday. I should have about 9 people this time. I have had some people say something about the money and how much it cost. I do feel bad sometimes, but I am doing this on my own. Plus, it is not as bad as it is at Y's or anything. Plus, I really enjoy it and I think that some of the parents see that through their kids and how excited they are about swimming and learning new things. I just hope it all goes well. I didn't advertise really with this b.c my computer is in the shop and I can't print anything out that was on there. I hope that my computer is not to messed up b/c I do not have the money to fix something major. I got the Battle for Middle Earth II and have not really been able to play it b/c of whatever is wrong with my computer. It has been a somewhat relax week, but with emotional things happening. One of my friends is not really talking to me and I am not sure if I can talk to her about things that are happening in her life. Then this guy I have a crush on is disappointing and well any girl knows how that is. I am partial about going back to school seeing that I have no friends there and I am afraid I am going to do horrible in class, esp. A&P II. Sometimes I wish that I stayed at Lip b/c of my awesome friends there and we would always hangout and go to dinner together and weekends where a blast, but I couldn't stay for academic reasons, you know? Maybe, who does!
SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS IS THAT I AM GOING TO AUSTRALIA IN A YEAR!!! I am so excited about that and am trying to convince my friend Ellen to go with me. People pray that she will change her mind and go with me!!! It would be an amazing experience to have and to stay away from the drama that is happening in our lives.
It is weird what growing up does to people. You see how it effects all of us. One change by one person and it changes everything and everyone. Some people really grow and mature and do amazing things and other either don't change at all or grow less than what they were. I mean I look at people I knew when we were all little and it is funny to think of what they are going to do or what they are going to become. Like one man I know is making a difference in China and the people's lives there.
OH! Ellen, Jillian, and I went and saw the 12:02am showing of Pirates 2. Brilliant. Absolutly brilliant and amazing. There were some parts where I cringed, but I loved it all the same. Mum won't be able to see it.
Also saw Superman Returns. BEST plotless movie EVER! At least to me! I loved it. Maybe b/c I am not a super, Superman fan, but a fan all the same. So anything involved with that hero as well as many others, I will go see! Oh, I loved the whole Savior conflict in the movie too!! Brilliant!
