For a while there was a time where I didnt have any satalite, but I did have a TV, and I couldnt get enough. I also have the entire season of Sex in the City, and Project Runway season 2.

I GOT IN.

Lucky Number

I got a 21 on my ACT. That average, I bombed the math portion and did really well on the english portion so it balenced itself out.

Still have to wait a week and half or so until I hear what my actual admission status is, but the lady I spoke with this morning said I really dont have anything to worry about as far as getting in.

Once I'm in, then its just the apartment process and then starting school.

Ill keep you updated.

For My Family, Only.

Whatever you think about what I am doing, is not any of your business. Please don't bother me. Please dont insult me.

Just dont.

The Waiting Game

Thunder and Lightning

It's getting close to summertime, and I think that I tried to tell myself that I didnt like the heat of the day. But I was kidding myself.

My most favorite attribute of the hottest season of the year is summer storms. I lovetto turn any noise off in my room and listen to the hard rain beat own on the roof, and the distant boom of the thunder off in the distance.

I also love lemonade, and I dont like it as much in the Winter. Its like hot chocolote in the Winter. I dont ever have it in the summer.

I love cloudbursts, and the smell of the rain hitting the concrete.

Summer drinks, Daquari's and Mojito's. I like the summer alot more then I thought I did.

So the whole living on campus thing isdefinatly falling through, but I brought the whole apartment thing up to my parents, and well, they are on board. So it looks like I will be staying at the civic Plaza Apartments, 2 miles away from the campus.

I am not only excited to move out, but I'm also excited to be alone.

I wish there were a storm outside.

Fly Away Home

I want to go on a trip, I cant afford a trip, but I'm craving a good vacation. A summer vacation, Seattle or San Fransisco. Anyone wanna come? I think I'd like to go and drive, the window down, hours of scenery, yeah, I need to get out.


The Philidelphia Flyers still stay in the playoffs, the Penguinsare up 3-1 in the series, but hopefully the flyers will pull out all the stops and win the next three games and go to the Stanley Cup finals. And the Red Sox are playing like crap. :(


I think I'm going to fly away and never come back. Or I'll come home when I've found myself. ;)

Just Because You're Lonely...

I need to find someone to talk to. Being so busy with school and work has left me with less then one good friend that I trust enough to actually vent too. I think its starting to affect me in a negative way, just not being able to vent about things that are bugging me. I'm going to find someone to talk to, to vent to, to trust.




I miss this book, and how it made me feel. I miss reading all together. Reading a textbook just isnt cutting it. I miss mall trips, and Barnes and Noble, and the familiar infared numbers flashing 3:00 am.


But everything that I'm becoming, and everything thats starting in the next little while is so exciting! An apartment, living on my own, huge responisibility and being alone... I do the best when I'm alone, but it seems awfully lonely.


I think I'm just a little down. Its been kind of a tough week.

Maybe a Better Alternative

So I got my room assignment from BSU today and Im in a first year hall with a roomate. ICK. And i'm required to purhase a meal plan in that particular hall. So I called the housing office to find out what I could do to get into the University Suites.

Well if you guys dont know, BSU is extremely over booked as far as housing students is concerned. There is a huge shortage for housing this year, and that contributed to why i didnt get my top three choice on the application. The lady I spoke with out me on the wait list, so we have until july to figure out if we can get a room there or if we will be looking for another way of housing. My next top choice would be to get an apartment, by myself. The apartments Im looking into would be called the Civic Plaza apartments, theyre section 8 housing, so low income housing and would cost less then the first year hall would cost with the meal plan for the full year! Im kind of excited about it, because if this is the way that we go, it would be so much fun to have my own apartment and whatnot.

Anywaysss, thats all i have to updates and whatnot, Ill keep you update on the admission status and housing status.

Lets hope I get the University Suites or the Civic Plaza Apartments. <333

It's a new week

What a waste of a weekend. Let me tell you, I took the ACT on Saturday, it took 5 and 1/2 hours, and by the time I got home, I was so tired that I spent the day in my bed, watching Dawson's Creek, and being really lazy. I figured I was allowed to be a little lazy considering I am draining myself silly with school at the moment.

The math part was terrible. I haventeen in school for almost three years, and I didnt take a math class my senior year, and I couldnt answer more then half of the questions. I did guess, but I really dont think that is going to do me much good when it comes to the scoring process. I did, however, do really good on the English and Reading portions of the test, which I wasnt too suprised about.

I'm starting a new shift at work this week, I will be working from 1:45pm to 5:45pm Monday through Friday, which will be nice, I have a new Team Leader who is really nice and hopefully will continue helping me excel at my job currently.

Speaking of Directv, I just celebrated my one ear anniversary at the company, which is considerable, but went so quickly. I got a raise and a tenure pin. Chances are I will be there through out my schoo career, up until it comes time to do my student teaching (by then I will probably be substituting because I wont be taking classes durin the day, so I will continue ith Directv for another 3 years, or maybe 6 if I get my Masters without teaching first.

It's been kind of an off week. I wont go into the gory details but a depressing one to say the least. I think I'm just very drained from being so busy with school and midterms. Alot of people have come in and out of my life but the one person I didnt expect exited this week and Im kind of sad about it. But I continue to have people in my life that are there for me, and who always will be.

Heres hoping this week is a little less busy, and a little more positive. The glass is half full from this day going forward.

Convenience Is An Ugly Word

I am on my way to take a midterm exam for my theatre class. It's open book, so thats exciting. I'm also picking up a calculator for my grueling act tomorrow from Gina and spending the day at work. I will be wrking my normal 4 hours but were having a team meeting tonight, since its the last team meeting we will have on that particular team, so Im going to supervise for about 3 hours until the meeting.

Mothers day is coming up, which is always exiting, were going to brunch at Banburry Golf Course, with my grandparents and parents.

Things are busy. Things have changed.

A Step In The Right Direction

I am franticlly preparing myself for the ACT this saterday, and I know that I talk about it alot, but I am really scared! I know I will probably be fine, but the anticipation is killing me.

Ive been watching Netflix movies like crazy lately considering that I have to stay home and do homework most of the nights that I am home... or watch a Red Sox game, which seems to be happening more then homework these days. Ive been watching every season of Dawsons Creek lately... I'm feeling nostalgic, considering the tv show was on when I was in Jr. High.

I went to Target the other day and bought me and my mom two of the reusable bags that they have for sale for .99. In an effort to "go green" we are going to start recycling, were going to get cute colored bins to set on the back porch and seriously start considering the enviroment. I am also going to do this thing that target had advertised, I bought a Newsweek Magazine and I can send in a couple of Target bags to the specified address and they will send me a reusable (and bigger!) bag made out of tagrte bags, they have them on display if youve been to Target recenetly and theyre 5.99, but I think it would be cooler to get a bag that was actually made from the bags I sent. Every effort to "go green" is a small step towards making the world around me a better place. Its something I has become really close to my heart, unfortunetly I dont have alot of time, but I am sincerely making an effort to pick up trash i come across while walking down the sidewalk, not litering, saving water ect, ect...

Thats all for now. Sometimes things turn out better then you expected them too. <3
