10:49 am	update heyyyyyyy so yeah life's busy really busy but i like it sorta. 19 credits plus a job plus being an ARA is pretty crazy. i have to read my entire world lit book this semester. my teacher doesn't cut anything out. well maybe not ALL of it... but seriously, most of it. all i do anymore is read. i set aside today to work on my 3 papers that are due this week. i'm excited for christmas break, haha. i'm going to be so proud of myself when i get through this semester with all A's (hopefully, haha). it's going to take a ton of work, though. but hey, anything worth something takes hard work, right? i'm already looking forward to christmas break though when i can just sit around reading my own books and not having to worry about having to write papers about them, haha. however, i hate the fact that all i have time to do this year is homework and work, and this is brandon's last year here, so i don't get to spend as much time with him as i like to, and when i am hanging out with him i feel like i should be getting homework done and i get stressed and it's bad. i mean he's still going to be going here next year, but he'll be commuting along with spencer and wayne. it's going to be weird without those guys. spencer's living at brandon's house so they can work all the time on band stuff. blahhh. haha. oh well. i'm getting a mac book, though! haha brandon's getting one, too (he already ordered his) so we can talk face to face (sorta) while he's gone and on the road and stuff. cute :) haha. so i'm pretty excited about that. but anyway enough sad-ish stuff, life really is amazing. i am so blessed to be where i'm at today. and everything will be worth it in the end, i know it. but if you guys could pray for me that'd be great, too. i can always use prayers :). ok well i have to go now to break into my car cuz i locked my keys in it hahah. bye.

12:00 pm	the good ones die young, apparently. first katie, now john. katie kirkpatrick, a beautiful 21 year old girl who'd been fighting cancer for years. she was like an older sister to me, ever since i was 12 years old. her death was so hard, but she was so sick, and we all knew it wouldn't be long. but john, a teenage boy, 16 years old, completely healthy. he had dreams of going to college and getting married. he was an active kid, he loved to skateboard, snowboard, play soccer. he loved girls, haha. he was definitely a cute kid. ever since he was 12 he had a crush on me lol. he wrote me a love letter last summer, which i still have. just a couple of weeks before he died he was back at summer camp enjoying the summer off school and hanging out with his friends. i was supposed to go to camp and work the week he was there so we could hang out, but i couldn't afford to. now i so wish i had. i had no idea that he'd be taken away so suddenly. all he did was go to soccer conditioning. who knows what happened? he just collapsed. who does that? why does that have to happen to such an awesome kid? or anyone so young? he died in the hospital. why couldn't those doctors save him? isn't that what they're there for? how could they let a 16 year old kid just die? they did an autopsy on him and won't know exactly what happened for another 2 or 3 weeks. but WHY!? why did it have to be john? it's so frustrating. i know God has His reasons for everything but like come on, WHAT could His reason be for taking a 16 year old kid??? i just don't get it. i can't stop thinking about it. like seriously. what the crap. i thought i was going to get to see him this fall at chorus, but nope. someday i'll see him again, though. that's one of the few slightly comforting thoughts that i just have to keep reminding myself of. that and the fact that he's in heaven, so much happier than we are down here without him. i'll miss you, john. and i love you, too.

10:06 am	sometimes circles run around you sup livejournal, long time no talk. it's a lazy summer morning so why not update? :) welll summer is going amazing. i am finally HOME, after working at the preschool in rochester for a few weeks after school got out. that was fun too, i got to hang out with brandon and my rochester friends! :) so i'm really glad i had the opportunity to stay up there for a while. but now i'm hoooomee and this is amazing, too. i was kind of afraid as last semester was ending that i'd come home and everything would be different. i changed a lot over the past year and i was worried that my friends wouldn't accept me anymore or something like that. HA! i should've known i had nothing to worry about. they are freaking amazing. and i feel like some of them are even going through the same changes (and even problems) that i'm going through. it's so nice to have people that love you surrounding you and supporting you. i'm so lucky. i believe that the people you make really close relationships with in this time of your life are the friends that you'll have for the rest of your life. it's like in high school, the friends you have are so superficial and you change so much after the first couple years of college anyway that you may find out you had nothing in common with those people in the first place. but the friends you make in college (or the previous friendships that you cherish and make stronger) are the ones that you're meant to be friends with... the ones that really love you and connect with you. that is really exciting to me :) haha. i love having friends that i can walk for miles with, laughing the whole way, stopping in parks and swinging and talking for forever about the funniest things and then walking to DAIRY QUEEN which is like 25 miles away (haha ok not really..) and hanging out for the rest of the night. that's like... the perfect life haha. playing around the world while getting eaten alive by the summer nighttime mosquitoes (and throwing TERRIBLE shots.. haha) and then going downstairs to play quietball (HAHAHAHAH YOU LOSE!!! wait...) it's hilarious. i love it. i couldn't ask for a more perfect life. or even just getting together to figure out "something to do" and then spending the rest of the night talking and playing gin rummy with mr. pockyarath... hahah (i'll murder you!) i freaking love it. i love having friends (and a boyfriend ;) haha) that i can just sit around and talk with and then get really excited about speedway coffee because we're too poor to go to starbucks. i love driving around with brandon and hanging out in the gazebo and pretending like we don't know each other (MOTO!!! hahah). i love that we can play four-square for literally 3 hours and get SO competitive about it (NO RELATIONSHIPS IN SPORTS!!! haha)... but that is only fun until you're expected to dive into someone about 9 times your size to hit the ball.. then it's just ridiculous haha. i love trying to think up a cool band name... haha everything we say OMG that'd be a great band name! wait... haha (also the random emotom death-reference names hahah). i also love having someone who loves me even when i suck (haha) and who i know is praying for me. i freaking love that too, haha. i am just so excited to see what this summer has in store for me and all of my friends. it's only a few weeks in and it's already so amazing. i'm so thankful that God has blessed me with such awesome people!!! if this entry is about you, and you know who you are... thank you so much for being there for me and basically for just being incredible. i love you guys!

8:37 pm	yes! so i found out today that i got the job for Assistant Resident Advisor for next year! it's in ferndale, which is the dorm i wanted to move to anyway... so i'm really pumped about that! i'm suitemate to kristin and jennie! that will be soo much fun haha. Brandon got RA in barbier, i'm so proud of him for that :). so basically, i'm going to college absolutely free. my scholarship before paid for tuition and half room and board, and the ARA position provides another scholarship that will cover the rest of the cost! so really, all i have to do is buy books. this was definitely an answer to prayer! God is so great. well i thought i was hanging out with brandon tonight, but he's writing music, so my night is now plan-free..... hmmm i'm gonna go find something to occupy my time :). later kids! God bless! Current Mood: excited Current Music: men of grace...... they were pretty sweet! (Comment on this)

8:33 pm	ahhh so this whole snowing-in-april thing is crazy. i don't really like it very much. although, walking out of starbucks today i stopped and actually looked up into the sky. and i kind of appreciated snow for what may be the first time in my life, haha. i just looked into the clouds and all i could see was white and then snow going so far up, hitting my eyes and landing in my mouth (which then brandon reminded me that it initially came from the clinton river and that i was eating tom's crap, so i promptly shut my mouth), and it really was beautiful (well besides the tom's crap part). i guess i don't mind it so much when it's not 30 degrees below 0. i thought about taking a picture of it, but i don't think a picture could ever capture something like that. so i guess it'll just have to stay in my head. sometimes i feel like the world is too busy to listen to me. maybe i just think too much while i'm talking to a person, but i don't know... i guess i just really like to consider what i'm saying before i say it. it's not that i'm worried about what the other person will think of me, that's just how i am, i don't know. i guess i am thinking about what i'm saying and how it will affect the other person's feelings. i've found that when i speak too quickly, sometimes things come out wrong and people's feelings get hurt and i don't like that. i think that's how it is with a lot of people. maybe what i do isn't bad, maybe it's the good way to talk? i think it's better to think about what you're saying then to say something rash and hurt other people. i think that a lot of people don't feel like they have the time for that. haha and i don't really mind it that much either. maybe that's why i'm just more of a quieter person. but i kind of like being a quiet person, i think listening allows you to learn more than talking. although i do like talking.....gosh haha i'm just getting confusing i think. all this really has anything to do with anything specific, i was just thinking about it today.... haha anyways... i feel like i've been sick ALL winter. it really sucks. i don't know why i get sick so much, but my mom said that i always have, i guess she's right. it's kind of frustrating. i think i'm just going to will myself to not get sick anymore, haha. that's what i did today, i made a concious effort to not be sick, and it worked pretty well i think. i really can't wait till summer. i feel so much more alive in the summer than i do in the winter. alright. i'm bored with writing in this. and this was pretty much just pointless.

12:32 am	well i'm in cincinnati. it's pretty fun. my family is funny. i like hanging out with them. except for the fact that my 15 year old brother is very very moody. but that can be fun, too. making fun of a moody 15 year old who thinks that he is "all that" is quite entertaining. especially when you challenge his popularity. hahahah. my brothers and i went at him for a while about that. that was probably the highlight of my day today, actually. and it's not really mean. in the words of aaron "he makes it so hard NOT to give him a hard time." it's true. anyways... it was SOOO nice out today!!! i went for a niiice long run today outside in short sleeves! it honestly felt like an early summer morning. i wanted to keep running and running but i got kinda lost in this hilly cincinnati neighborhood (ok it's not REALLY in cincinnati... not ghetto at all haha perfectly safe) and there was a dog chasing me, so i decided to go back inside the house as soon as i found it, haha. there were actually 2 dogs chasing me. it probably looked pretty funny. i can't wait till it starts getting warm in michigan again so i can run outside instead of on the treadmills at lifetime. it is impossible to get any homework done here. i tried, but it's much too distracting, and i'd much rather be hanging out with the fam. so i'm just gonna put that off till i get back to school. which, by the way, i miss. i can't wait to get back. haha brandon's away message today said "my heart is in ohio... seriously" and it made me laugh. :) ok so i can feel the beginnings of my lj addiction returning... so i'll probably be updating again soon. or maybe it's just because there's not much else to do... we shall see. well i think josh might have a breakdown if i don't let him on the computer soon, so until next time. xoxo Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: thrice- cold cash and colder hearts (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:38 am	wow it's been a while yep... well it's been a while. so i'm bored and sitting around till i go to lifetime and i decided to update. earlier today i read lesley's entry about couples calling each other "baby" and it pretty much made my day, haha. i honestly don't get it. i mean, if you must come up with pet names, why in the world would you pick one like "baby"? and why is that so popular? not that i think pet names are necessary at all, but if you MUST call your significant other by something other than their given name, couldn't you at least pick something more original and, oh, i don't know... relevant? hopefully, your boyfriend/girlfriend is NOT a baby... hmm... maybe it's because they act like one? maybe it is a subconscious way of labeling your relationship as an immature one. hmmm..... i don't know. or MAYBE i'm just stupid and there is a perfectly good reason to use that term when addressing your significant other... but i've always considered myself as a pretty smart girl, and i know lesley is pretty smart, too, so maybe we're right. ANYWAY. my boyfriend brandon (i address him by his real name, and it doesn't mean i love him any less! wow!) is pretty much the coolest person ever. haha he threw rocks at my window last night to tell me he loves me. how cute is that? (sorry i'm really trying not to get TOO mushy) ok i had to throw a little something about him in here though, so yeah. i'm going to cincinnati this weekend. my 23 year old brother aaron who is in his second year of med school has not been able to sleep. it started last semester right before some big test (i'm not sure what test it was, but apparently if you didn't do well on it you have to retake your second year of med school, which is the hardest year), but he ended up doing really well on the test (high pass, i think) and after that he was fine. but i guess it started again and when i was talking to my mom she told me that he was saying things like "i lay in bed and wonder if i'll ever be able to sleep again," and "i wonder if i'll have to drop out of medical school now." which of course isn't the case, but it's not a good thing that he's getting that idea into his head. i guess he started pacing around his apartment, too. so i'd really appreciate it if you guys could pray for him. i know that God will take care of it, but your prayers would help so much. on a lighter note, february is going to be a sweet month. there will be some awesome shows... i'm especially excited about emery/anberlin/hh! ok well... it's time to go to lifetime now! yay for running and hot tubs. xoxo Current Mood: energetic Current Music: dld- simple, starving to be safe (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:06 am	what a week so basically it's been the most hectic week of my life. i actually felt like i was in college, lol. well i'll start with last friday, don't think twice/novellant view show. it was sweet, and none of the other bands sucked, so i was happy. saturday sal and i went to pick josi up from the airport, then we came back and watched shanghai nights and kung fu hustle (shut up i like martial arts movies, lol). tina, matt k, matt q, nate, and robby came over, too. robby, nate, matt k, and matt q ended up staying at my house till like 3 am, lol that was fun though. sunday i went to church, then went to borders with josi to study, then just chilled until my mom got back from attica, and then i sat around some more waiting for sal to be ready to leave, and then i went back to school. exciting day, i'm telling you. then this entire week i've been studying for midterms or sleeping ALL WEEK. i've been sick, so that really sucked midterm week. i've been sick the entire time i've been up here, though. i'll probably be sick for the rest of the year. oh well, it happens. probably because i'm working with kids... very germy. in the long run, if it doesn't kill me, it'll help my immune system to be stronger, lol. i did excellent on all of my exams, though, which is really exciting. i was one of six people to get an A in com. basics, and in new and old testament i basically just killed those exams. it was amazing. i haven't found out my grade for them yet but i know i did really well. and the Comp A test was ridiculously easy as usual. then writing my paper last night sucked... haha. it took a really long time, and marcy and i realized that including the outlines it was a 12 page paper. oh yeah. fun stuff. sal is pretty much my hero cuz he proofread it for me and fixed all my stupid mistakes. i'm never procrastinating that bad again.. (i say that now). so after i finished my paper last night, it was like 11, so courntey and i decided to go to the hot tub and pool to celebrate the end of this week. brandon, tom, curtis, and some other guys were there. we made a whirlpool in the huge hot tub, hahaha. then i came back, fixed up my paper, and finally got to bed. so basically, i'm soo glad this week is over. i have one more exam next friday, but it'll be easy. 3 essays and he gave us them so we could think about them/write them over the week. priya is coming home today!!! i won't see her till tomorrow, though. i talked to her on the phone on monday, which was fun :) i miss her soo much. i'm probably coming back up to school on sunday. just because i want to. i don't know, we'll see. i'm going to try this thing called staying up at school more often. yaknow, since i'm in college. yeah that's all... i just felt like updating since i never do anymore.

11:53 pm	what an awesome 2 days! ok so the past 2 days have been like the best ever. sunday: was at miko's by 7:30, even tho all 21 of us didn't get there and going until like 9, lol. then we got lost on the way to the river and we threw things at the car behind us through the sunroof, lol. also, chelsi and kyle had a lightsaber war on top of miko's car... while he was driving it... haha. we finally got to the river and got on the bus to go to the spot we'd be leaving from. haha, the bus driver said we were the first group he'd ever driven to make animal noises... for some reason i'm not surprised that we were the first. so we got all 10 canoes into the river and at first it was tina and i in a canoe, then eric joined us, haha we were team native american, we were naturals! hahah. well, we were good until we ran into a tree, and there were spiders in the trees, so natrually i jumped out of the canoe right away without even thinking, and another canoe (i don't even remember who's it was) hit me in the face, hahahahah of course that would happen to me. so then i got back into our canoe and tina started screaming that there were a bunch of spiders in the boat. i was like frozen standing there for a minute, then i just jumped out and got into the closest next canoe, which happened to be jan and balconi's. so i sat in the middle and they started paddling, so i ended up staying in that canoe the rest of the time. oh yeah, and when i got into that canoe i noticed that my toe was sliced open, gross. it was bleeding everywhere and looked sick. so i just kinda had to sit there the rest of the trip with a gross cut toe soaking up bacteria filled river water, hahah. but it was cool. i felt like queen of the nile, hahah. even at the parts where jan and balconi had to get out and push cuz it was too shallow, they told me to stay in the canoe, it was awesome. what gentlemen :). so minus the 2 injuries it was a sweet trip, and i got a nice tan! then, when i was driving back to school later that night, i thought 75 was going to be closed, but they reopened it early so i didn't have to go on the long scary detour!! i was soo excited. monday: so my first 2 classes were really easy, lol in my communications class we had to look through magazines in groups and we have to present something about culture on wednesday, and my group got a bunch of oprah magazines that consisted of like all sex. it was kinda funny, i didn't expect that coming to a christian college, haha. but it gave us some good material to talk about in our presentation, so that was good. then i FINALLY got the package from priya!!! i was soo excited. it almost made me cry, the stuff in it was so cute (and is now attached to the walls around my desk!) during assembly i wrote a letter to emily, which i need to get envelopes and stamps for. then in my Comp A class we got the test we took last week back, and i got 100%! i was so pumped. then i went to target and bought some stuff, which is always fun. when i got back courtney said she was going back to trenton for her brother's soccer game (he's on jv) and that she'd drive me back if i wanted to stay for varsity. so i got to see them play (even tho they lost, oh well) which was nice. i also got to see tina again, haha. now i'm back here and thinking about going to bed since i get to go play with my kids at 8 tomorrow :) Current Mood: happy Current Music: Goo Goo Dolls- Iris (Comment on this)

4:03 pm	yayyyyyy courtney and i are going to get our tattoos next friday!!!!!!!! i'm soo excited. i'll have my paycheck from 3 weeks so it'll be pretty big :) i'm soo excited. here's what it looks like: http://www.thai-language.com/id/135219 it means "serve" in thai. it has a whole meaning to me behind it. some of you know, some don't. but i can't wait. i can't decide tho if i wanna get it on my left wrist or on my upper right shoulder. i should probably decide that before friday lol. ahhh i seriously can't wait tho. i still have to talk to my mom about it, i hope she's not too mad. hopefully she'll understand that this isn't just some dumb meaningless tattoo, like a tiger hahah ("hey, i really like tigers!" hahaha), it actually has a significant meaning to me. that's what i think is so cool about it. lol so at the daycare today, there is this little indian boy and he cries the entire time and doesn't know any english, so he'll be screaming and trying to tell us something in hindi (i think that's the language at least) and no one could understand him so he kept crying and so finally i was just sitting there with him and i just started repeating everything he said lol, and he kept shaking his head yes and i had no idea what i was saying lol but it seemed to calm him down. i thought that was kinda funny lol. i think i'm gonna ask priya's dad for some basic words like bathroom, play, sit down, etc. hmm yeah that's pretty much it.. 2 IT guys just came by so they're gonna fix my internet now i hope.

7:11 pm	uhhh at school ok so maybe i can update sometimes. last night's bbq was fun. i think i was the only one there that had already been in school for 2 weeks lol. being at elizabeth park kinda was a little hard. i dunno. that whole place just screams josh. but i was there with a ton of great friends so that made it better. and uh, yeah.. i don't know. classes are good. haha i'm in a whiffle ball tournament this week... what? lol i didn't even know what that was until we played our first game today. i suck. oh well. the kids at the preschool i work at are soooooo cute. there are these 2 little asian girls that don't speak english, and i was teaching them colors today. they are so adorable. there's also a little indian girl who doesn't speak english either, she's soo cute. but she was crying the whole time today, haha. oh well, they are 3 so i mean i guess it happens. ok um yeah that's pretty much it.

8:37 pm	hmm... so i've been at college for a week, that's cool. uh, not much happens here, actually, so there's not a lot to write about lol. lifetime fitness is pretty much the coolest place in the world, tho. i wish i could bring friends but it costs $20 for a friend pass. gayyyy. so i'll just tell you guys about it. there is 2 stories and it's just completely filled with excercise equipment. i like riding the bike cuz i can do homework while working out. is that cheating? cuz it feels like it, lol. anyway, there's a bunch of other sweet stuff there, too. ab machines, lots of leg/butt workout stuff, free weights, etc., etc., etc. :) it's really sweet. and THEN there are 3 pools. 2 are indoor and 1 is outdoor. one indoor and the outdoor one have waterslides. there are 3 hot tubs, the 2 inside hold like 25 people each, and the one outside.. well i'm not sure i haven't seen that one actually. there is a sauna and a steam room, too. it's pretty amazing. so i decided that i'm gonna have a really hot body by the end of the year, cuz there is really nothing else to do besides go to lifetime, lol. i like it. i've met some cool new people. mostly guys, lol. but there are some cool girls here too that i've made friends with. i really need to drop my bio class since it's like 5th grade level bio. i hate it it's so boring and it's all stuff i already know. maybe i'll take greek instead. i'm gonna have to get that over with sooner or later. i'm supposed to be doing homework right now (i'm in ACE lab) but there really isn't much to do. i think all the homework i have is read Gen. 1-2 for Old Testament. i also need to call this lady at the daycare about getting a job. i'll do that in the morning. yeah that's about it.

10:51 am	ahhh remind me to not ever have 5 kids. ever. (haha i originally accidentally put 9.... i don't wanna have 9 kids either, tho) my morning: woke up at 615 cuz i had to babysit at 7 and they are like 15 mins away. they all wake up at like 715. who does that? oldest girls do nothing but fight, over everything, so i tell them good people share. they say they don't want to be good people. screw that. so i go make them breakfast... while i'm doing that the 2 year old boy is busy coloring with permanent marker... all over his body... sweeeeet. so then i have to give him a bath... which equals me getting pretty much as soaked as him. but then i got to pick out a cute outfit for him to wear haha. that was fun. and then i got the little baby dressed all cute too. that is one part of motherhood i'm sure i'll enjoy :P haha. and then they both ate and got their cute outfits all dirty. screw that too. and now they're actually all watching tv and i'm just really bored. mmhm Current Mood: bored Current Music: a kid banging on a piano (4 Comments |Comment on this)
