| Well since it has been about 5 months I thought I should write in my xanga since soo much has gone on. First I am all done with high school and I cant wait for college life. I am actually in Germany right now on an exchange program. I love it here, although I miss regular water (water with out bubbles). I also miss my car, I always drive everywhere and here I walk. I guess it is good for me considering I have to get into shape for ROTC training. I have about 6 weeks until I have to go to college and I am sooo excited. As from the previous entry I am attending Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, IN. I have been having an awesome summer and I leave Germany in 2 days and then I go to New York for a week or so. Then I come home and start packing up all of my stuff for college. I dont know about all of you but I found out who my college roomates are and I am in a 4 person room. They all seem really nice and I cant wait. Well I have to go and cook my host dad some american cookies. I will hopefully not wait 5 months until I write again.

| Hello Everybody!
Well trying to describe how my life has been since the last time will be hard but I will do my best. First off I got into Sint Mary's College it is located in Notre Dame, IN. I love the school and I am soo excited to be able to attend there. Now the hard part is applying for scholarships. Anybody who said that your senior was a piece of cake must have not gone because it is very difficult. Once I get everything done then it will be smooth sailing. I already have my summer planned out and most of the time I am going to be in another country . I graduate on June 4 and then 10 days after that I leave to go to Germany on an exchange program for a month and I can't wait. I have been taking german for 5 years and it is about time for those hours of studying to go to use. Has anybody ever gone over to another country and stayed there for a while? If you have, how was it? .... Two of my best freinds are salutitorians for our class and I am excited for them. They both know where they are going and my other best friend has applied to Notre Dame and it would be awesome if she goes there and since I am going to Saint Mary's we will be across the street from each other. Also I am trying to decide whether to try out for there dance team because I know that I am going to be going into air force ROTC and I just don't know wether I will have time. Last thing I am giving up simple carbohydrates and chocolate for lent. It is going to be hard but with GODS faith in me I can give those items up to show him how much I love him. I hope everybody has an awesome week and god bless you! | | |
| I know it has been forever since I have written in my xanga and I am sorry! Well so many things have happened since the last time. First EXAMS are over for the rest of senior year and I am really excited. I got all A's one B and one F in government. I know you probably think I am really stupid for getting an F but I studied for ever and I worked my butt off, but unfortunatly I still failed. I was very depressed but now I am good to go. Next, this guy that I have been telling you guys about I still like him and we have gotten alot closer to talking but then it is always me who is a scardy cat and backs out. I am trying and I really want to hang out with him but if I cant even talk to him I dont know what I am supposed to do. Thats ok, I have been praying to GOD about the situation and he is showing me the path , but I feel I am blind folded cause I feel like nothing is happining. GOD will work it out the way that he wants it to work out. Well there is more stuff to say but I am going to have to save it untill next time cause I am really tired. | | |
| Well so Christmas is over! 363 days left until the next christmas you better start your lists, just kidding! I got some amazing gifts: a pink mini ipod and I love it! I also got alot of clothing which I am also very excited about. No matter what present I got or if I got one at all I was just glad that I got to spend 4 awesome days with all of my cousins. I haven't gotten to see my aunt sharral and uncle tom and their kids in about 3 years. My cousin chris is 16 and he is 6'8 and my cousin matt is14 and he is 6'4 they are just huge. It was so funny I went to say good bye to them when they were leaving and I hugged chris, my hands were around his butt. I dont no if anyone of you guys out there are really close to your family, but I am and I just love to sit back and watch all of my cousins interact and all of my aunts and uncles laughing together. That is when I just love my life and everyone around me. My favorite memory was on christmas night when all of my cousins and I were sitting around watching the CMA awards and the rascal flatts came on. All of us started to sing really loud and dance around, it was so much fun. So I am leaving on thursday to come home to the cold, cold weather. I am excited though cause I really miss my own bed. My dad loves hard beds and so all of the beds in the house are hard and I cant stand it. My bed is soo very comfurtable. Well I hope that everyone had an awesome holiday and we only have a week left until we go back to school and exams:( I just wanted to say that I am so thankful for all of my awesome friends. You guys rock my socks to the moon! | | |
| So I know it has been forever since I last wrote in my jornal, but these past two weeks have been so crazy for me. I have had to come home early from school to work on an 8 page research project for english that took me 11 hours to just do the 100 index cards for it. Sound crazy it was!! Im now in CALIFORNIA spending time with my dad, stepmom, sister, half-sister, and step-sister. I love them all so much and also my stepmoms side of the family is coming up and I am also really close to them. There are 20 first cousins and it is a blast when we get together. It's so funny when people give me weird looks when I say that I am closer to my stepmoms side of the family then all of my blood relatives combined. It's true though I have a cousin that is in her first year of studies at Boston University and we both love dancing and we get along so well. I can't wait until they come up! Although I am excited about this vacation and all the time I get to have sleeping in I found out about Notre Dame and wether I got in and I unfortunatly didn't get in but that meant that GOD didn't want me to go there in the first place. I am a little bumbed but I believe with all my heart that I am going to go where GOD wants me to go. My next step apply to Saint Mary's and Ohio State I am also looking at a fourth college to apply to and I have some in mind. I just hope that I get into on of the three that I apply to next. If I dont get in then GOD had a plan to send me to wright state. I know for all of the people out there that didn't get into the college they first applied to it can be heart renching but I promise its not the end of the road. If was really funny the way I found out I called my mom to see if my letter had come in cause I had been waiting for it this whole past week. She said she had gotten it and if I wanted her to open it. I was so scared I told her no and when I had gotten home from the airport in San Fransisco then I would call her and ask her to open it. So the whole 2 hour drive to my dads house I sat there looking outside of the window and thinking about what I should do if I dont get in. So I called bridget and I just said "bridget I dont know what to do" she told me that if I didn't get in then there were more colleges that wanted me and that no matter what GOD will take care of me. Thank you, you helped me out! So as I am sitting here typeing this I just thank GOD so much for the life he has blessed me with and the awesome oppertunities he has had for me, THANK YOU! Well I will leave you guys on this note no matter what happens in your life sad or bad that GOD will help you through it or cheer next to you. Good night to all you people in the freezing state of Ohio while I am in 60 degree weather. | | |
