So yesterday I found out that my pet turtle's life expectancy is 65 years. I'm not even joking. By the time it reaches its life expectancy I'll be 76. I think thats past MY life expectancy. I also learned that turtles do not stop growing. As its already as big as a dinner plate, we're going to need a second house.

So I just finished 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. I think it's amazing how an author can write a story and use that opportunity to express their own opinions and try to make the world see things differently. Theres a lot of power there.

I think I may go marry a rock star.

So it has recently come to my attention that I haven't posted in...a really long time. My laziness amuses me.

Last night was the holly ball, great fun. I have to say, my cousin Will has to be the coolest person ever. Unfortunately he will never know I wrote that as he doesn't have a xanga.

So I have friends sleeping over, and they are all asleep, while I'm on the computer. At least I think they're still asleep. I should probably check on them.

3 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! I'm SO excited!

So, I'm home.

Coming back from Summer College was really hard, but I made it. I'm still adjusting. Life is really different at home. The dorm had kinda become my home and all the people there were my family. It's really hard to leave them. I'm working on it.

The weekend after I came back we went to Canada to see Niagara Falls. I always thought that seeing the falls was kinda a lame thing, like a vacation your parents wanted you to go on to "make you a well rounded person". I thought, how cool could a big waterfall really be? I mean, come on. But I have to say, I will never forget last weekend. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. When I first saw the falls I was stunned. So much water! So much strength. When I see things like that I cannot doubt God's existence. His beauty and might were obvious through the rushing water. The wall of our hotel room was glass and facing the falls, we had the best view. Totally amazing.

I missed all you guys a lot. What's going on with you?

Hey guys! So its like 4:16 in the morning. And you are all asleep. But I'm not. haha. Its my last night here, so I'm gonna stay up all night and parrrrtttyyyyy. Or basically be dead on my feet all day tomorrow. And tomorrow is move out day. I'm really sad about leaving, but really happy to be going home. (sigh)

So we have these things called 'superlatives' which is like "who do you think is the cutest couple?" or "who do you think is best dressed?" "most likely to succeed?" And so they announced them tonight, and I won "friendliest girl"! Show how little they know me here! jk kinda.....lol

I'm going to go down and dance some more, see you guys when I come back!!!

Swimming in charcoal...

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:20:03 GMT

I'm doing a self portrait for my drawing class final and its in charcoal, so now I'm covered in charcoal, all the time. Its everywhere! My hands, my neck, my sheets... my friends joke that if it gets within 10 feet of me, its smeared all over my face. I have quite the reputation....

So Saturday is graduation! I can't believe I've been here for 5 weeks already! I'm ready to go home, I miss my bed. And, of course, I miss all of you...

This week is finals, so life is crazy. My room is a complete mess. We kept it so clean until like a week ago!

I'm going to miss everyone here so much, but I'm so happy to go home!

Tonight was the Summer College dance (in case you hadn't guessed) and I had SO much fun! I just got in...and it's after 12. So much fun....though I must admit, I'm so tired, and the music was so loud...I loved it...

My Adventures On The Alien Planet

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 22:26:55 GMT

Right now there's an all out war going on in my dorm. A bunch of lacross guys just moved in and they smell bad. Plus they aren't very smart, or nice. Now, I can't say that about all of them, but for the majority this is true. Plus, they seem to be trying to make our whole dorm smell of lacross boy. nice. this would all be forgiven of any were attractive. alas, I am not so lucky.

This week is "Battle of the Sexes" week, and so far the girls are winning 2 to none. Thanks to my team. Today was a riddle hunt thing, and my team won. I am so tired. We ran the whole way.

Teenagers are crazy. Its a fact. I am thoughly enjoying being one.

My Adventures with the Shaolin Monks

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:39:48 GMT

Today was a beautiful day. One of those days when you are just ecstatic that you're alive. The sky is gorgeous. Absolutely wonderful.

Saturday I was in Washington D.C. It was SO much fun.

Well, today I met some shaolin monks. The circumstances of our meeting were odd to say the least. It was quite an experience. I'd say more, but I'm not sure how to explain it.

You know when something happens, and you feel awful. The thing that happened isn't that important, but it blows your world up. That happened to me today. I felt more than awful. But some people said things to me that made me feel a whole lot better. Not only did the destructive thought cease to bother me, but I realized how great my friends really are. You rock my world.

I have to go study. Don't want to, but must. Pray for my deliverance from Statistics...

Wallowing

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:55:40 GMT

I thought I should let you know, today I am wallowing in self pity.

In truth, I have no reason to pity myself. I did have a rather rough day with classes and such, but still, I am having so much fun here! I don't know whats wrong, but I decided to watch "Pride and Prejudice" and eat chocolate chip cookies.

My definition of wallowing.

I wish Mr. Darcy was real....
