Last night I tried to make a really nice post with all these great pictures I took, but I was almost done when Xanga decided to tell me that I had a monthly upload limit and that I had reached it, so I couldn't upload any more pictures. Sooo I got mad, and in a fit of rage I deleted the entire post lol. At some point I'll post some pictures from various events going on in my life. I got some especially good ones at the Coldplay concert, because Chris Martin came out into the audience, just about 15 feet away from me, which was pretty freakin' awesome. I've been listening to his voice for I don't even know how long and to have him right THERE singing one of my favorite songs was just amazing.

In other news, I mailed my deposit on monday, so I'm officially going to Providence College. I'm beyond excited, high school just needs to END.

The weather here has been absolutely superb the last couple of days, I feel guilty not being outside even for the couple minutes it's takig me to write this. I've started my jogging routine again to whip myself into shape for summer, and I'm achey ad sore right now but I love it. I hope you all are getting a chance to enjoy spring a little bit too.

I hope I'm not the only one who COMPLETELY forgot about daylight savings time today. I woke up approximately 3.5 minutes before I needed to be at church, thinking I had an hour to get ready. Luckily, I can be super fast at getting ready when I need to be, and the church is around the corner, so no worries.

Alright, that's all for now. Love you guys.

Well, Les Miserables closed last night, it was awesome if I do say so myself, except for the part where I feared I would actually have to come through on my role of Fantine's understudy since the girl who plays her was very very sick on Friday, but no worries. She was a trooper and sang her heart out despite being sick, good thing too because there's no way that I could have done as good of a job as her. The show ending was also kind of sad, I'm really starting to feel the end of highschool coming. Things are starting to come to an end and it's sad and exciting at the same time. Not that I have any great attachment to high school, I've pretty much hated it actually, but I'm going to terribly miss my friends that I've become accustomed to seeing every day. Just three short months now until the last day of school and prom and graduation and I still don't feel like any of it's really going to happen.

And to add to the excitment of this very busy weekend, I'm going to see Coldplay tonight. I can't wait to hear them live; I may just spontaneously combust on the spot. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures from my show and from the coldplay concert at some point this week.

Love, Kristen

I'm so absolutely exhausted; my school musical opens this thursday and we're doing "Les Miserables." In other words the really really really really long and exhausting show that never ends. I wish I had time to write about my life on here. I wish I had time to have a life , but being busy is how I function best I guess.

My light at the end of the tunnel: I'm going to see Coldplay live on sunday, I'm soo excited, it's going to be AMAZING.

Alright, time for me to head off to work. Just wanted to pop in and say "hey, I'm alive." so no worries.

I'm home from school today, because all the snow we didn't get this winter decided to fall yesterday. 21+ inches....what fun.

It's weird, but now that I'm more than halfway through my senior year, everything seems 100 times more real. I'm making plans for senior trip and prom and graduation....and I've picked a college so I've started to plan for that too. I'm so ready to be done with high school; it was far from the best years of my life and I won't be all that upset when it's over. Everyone keeps warning me not to wish it all away, that I'll miss this time opf my life when it's over, but really, I feel like I have so many better things to look forward to. I just want it all to start now. But I'm nothing if not patient, so I think I can wait a few more months.

Ok, this was really just a procrastination post, I have a paper that I really should be working on, so I'll go do that now. happy valentine's day.

Today started out pretty terribly; I didn't have school because of state testing, but i have some form of bronchitis that just makes me feel completely awful, especially when you're home alone....

Luckily for me, I have the best friends in the entire universe. As soon as they found out I was sick they were at my house with hot chicken noodle soup and a cherry coke Slurpee.

I don't know how I would live without them....I really don't deserve such treatment.

We proceeded to lounge around and watch "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" on Cartoon Network for about 3 hours, and all thoughts of coughing and sore throats were forgotten.....at least for a little while.

Everyone should have friends like mine.
