good deal! that was fun.....i need to do some stuff. i just ate some awesome cookie dough, and i am watching OTH. I LOVE kate, aka mia. she is awesome- i just wish i had been cast in her role to bolster MY career. i need her cd. do you have it, lynn? and i HATE NANNY CARRIE.

i am pretty excited about going to my class this afternoon. i don't like that it is so late in the day but it is so much fun to learn website stuff! i am so proud of myself for actually being able to do everything so far without difficulty. hopefully it won't get much harder. and the website that i actually get graded on will be much better than my first attempt.

i had planned to go downtown today, eat at the taco stand, and shop for some shoes to wear with my dress this weekend- that did not work out too well since it is pooring down rain. now i will have to wait until tomorrow and i will HAVE to find some or not have anything to wear on my feet on friday.

*cross your fingers!* we might be getting a gym membership with our lease, possibly next week! i really hope it works out, cause i need a gym to go to soon. i feel unhealthy not working out 5 days a week- weird.

A Little Optimistic

I LOVE my new layout/background. Van Gogh is amazing. Thanks Lynn!!

On to an actual topic. I am usually really down when I write on here, because writing is very cathartic for me. However, today I am going to write about stuff that is a little happier.

I always feel like I have done a horrible job making friends here. I spend so much of my time alone (although a lot of the time i CHOOSE to be alone....i have turned into quite the loner) and that makes me feel like i have really failed in making a good group of friends. i am seeing how untrue that is right now. i may feel a little awkward at chapter, standing there with no one to talk to, and i know i feel that way a lot, but when i think about it, i have a pretty good group of friends here. i may not be very close to most of them, but i have at least two or three people that i feel like i can call if i need something or if i am bored/need a friend/etc. i guess somehow i expected here to be the same as home, where i have people i have known all my life and see every single day at school. but i am learning that it isn't always like that......and i have another year left here with these people! so, basically, i can be a real downer about my life sometimes, but tonight i am feeling pretty good.

if only i didn't have to go to school tomorrow.....

and i am VERY excited about semi-formals with caleb. i miss him!

I was bored.
