I want to sleep. My bed looks so inviting and comfertable. How come in the morning my bed becomes the most comfertable thing in the world right as the alarm goes off? It could've been the worst night where I didn't sleep a bit, but right as that alarm sounds I find the perfect position and don't want to have to get out of bed. I think it's a conspiracy between the the people who make beds and everything. They must put some sort of drug or something in the pillows and the sheets so that in the morning when you have to get up you want to stay in bed forever. I think I should do a little investigating and check out my bed by laying down on it and going to sleep. I'm sure my teacher would understand the importants of the investigation and be just fine with me missing today's class.
Oh well, it was a nice try.

Hmm, not much going in my life right now. This morning we went swimming for unit fitness. It was in BDU's and so it made everything a little harder, but I liked it a lot more than running. For crew practice today we're practicing the IOCT. I learned some good news today. If you fail the IOCT you still lose your privleges and have to go to remediation on friday's, but you aren't placed in CZCP/CPRP, which is what I was really scared of. I can do the shelf if I get my foot hooked, but doesn't always happen. It's very frustrating. Yesterday we had to practice the course in the morning, and my throat still hurt a little and my voice sounded weird in the afternoon. The air Arvin gym is very dry.
I don't know what I'm doing for YWW. It's in three weeks. Originally I was thinking of inviting a friend from home, but now things are a little different. I don't know what will end up happening.
Sometimes I wonder if I really have what it takes. That goes for anything. Do I have the ability to push myself hard enough? Do I have the self-disipline? Do I always have to be so quiet and serious? Blah.

My feet and legs are killing me right now. As Annah said, "Military intersession is not about learing stuff in military science classes, it's about burning off all the fat you gained over the break." Yesterday I had a very long day that started at 4am with a urinalysis. I guess there were also weigh-ins going on at the same time, but they forgot to tell me that so I just went straight back to bed without evening know that I was supposed to weigh in. For unit fitness training we had to run down to the APFT course and then do intervals. After that we had to run of ODIA hill and then form back up and run back to the company area. In all that was around 4-5 miles. After lunch I had the 3.5 hour military science class, but the last hour of it was actually a lecture from LT GEN Brooks. I ended up sitting in the second row and so I had to at least look like I was taking notes. Crew started up again, but we don't have autho's during intersession. For practice we ran to Lee Gate and back, which is about 3 miles. I think that's the most I've ever run in one day. That wasn't a good idea for my first real workout in awhile. My arches on my feet are killing me. Today for UFT we did the IOCT. I'm sucking at that.

On the Q
Having given up on a visit from the dashing J, our gorgeous heroine decides it's time to make a name for herself in the world. Her ingenious method: making music with a plastic construction paper wrapper the way music flows from a blade of grass when a person cups their hands and blows on it. The beautiful music that flows from her lips captivates the surrounding populace and strikes them speechless. The only sound heard beside the lovely tune is the clapping of skin against skin as the inhabitants scramble to cover their ears. A move that our heroine can only guess is because they don’t want to risk being overcome with the magnificence of the melody. Surely fame is just around the corner for her.
Okay, I'm very bored right now and still on the Q. Today I've gotten many complements on my laptop from people in my company. Jasmin was a life saver when she stopped by around 7:20 to say hi. That was my low point of the day. I was tried and cranky, not a good combination. Her visit cheered me up and now I think I've got my second wind. I don't know why it's so tireing sitting at a desk all day, but it sure is. The phone rang at least once an hour, which is unheard of nowadays. Each time I had to run off and find somebody to deliver a message to or to tell to come to the phone.
Tomorrow looks like it'll be a smoker. Oh joy.

And I'm Back
Once again it's the start of a new semester, well almost. There's still two weeks before actual academic year starts, but since last semesters grades are already in and I'm back at school once again that's good enough for me. Last semester turned out okay. I managed to raise my GPA a tiny bit even though I lowered all of my grades with my scores on my TEE's. Once again I should have studied more. Today is a re-orgy for everyone to finish moving in to their rooms. Before I'd said that I was switching rooms and would have two new roommates, but we worked it out so that Sarah, the girl I was switching with, and I got to stay in our old rooms with our old roommates. I was very happy when we found out we could do that because it meant a little less work for me to do this week. As it is, Tara and I reorganized our room by moving the desks and beds around so that there is much more room now. We all switched desks. I have Tara's old spot, Alyson has mine, and Tara has Alyson's. I like it because my bed is right next to my desk. Today is basically a free day for everybody, but I was the lucky one stuck with pulling CCQ all day. I guess it had to happen to somebody.
Tomorrow the Military Science (MS) classes start. Mine are in the afternoon from 12:00 to 3:30. In the morning there's unit PT. At first I was disapointed that I have the classes in the afternoon, but now that I think about it I think it'll be nice to get the PT out of the way. Hopefully it'll be free time after 3:30.
While I was home all of my friends asked me how much free time I got here. I don't really know how to answer that one. There's a lot, but yet there's also almost none at all.
I got my class scheduale for next semester. I have 20.5 credits. I'm taking Physics II, Probability and Statistics, Spanish II, Physical Geography (Dirt), American Politics, Fundamentals of Computer Science (CS 301), and then combatives IV fourth round. I guess that'll keep my pretty busy.
When everyone's gone at lunch it's amazing how much noise there still is around here. It seems like everyones phone, cell phone, and alarms went off in that 30 min time period. Maybe it's just that it's usually so loud that you can't hear them.
Steph called me last night and we figured out that her friends are actually comeing for 500th night. That's the weekend before YWW, but she still wants me to try and find her a date for YWW. I think it's best to stay away from cadet guys, but of course that makes me a hypocrite. Ah well.
I'm on my second Mountain Blast Powerade. Yummy. Tate is keeping me busy with moving furniture, or at least supervising some of the moving of it. I'm getting my exercise walking up and down the 6 flights of stairs.
I think everyone in the company is supposed to do initial counseling today with their new chain of command, but so far I haven't had anyone except my classmates inform me of that fact. It's also kind of hard to do much of that sort while sitting at the CCQ desk. The joy of school.

Right now I am on my flight back to school. This time I managed to get to the right gate with plenty of time to spare. Molly and the Schafer twins are on this flight along with at least one other cadet that I don’t know. As the Schafer’s were boarding the flight I tried to figure out which one was Justin because he’s in my company, but I wasn’t sure. When I was checking my bag I saw Kristen and a plebe. I knew it was a plebe because of his book bag. They all have the same issued one. Yesterday my dad went to Eddie Bauer and found an all black one that holds laptops. I looked there they day before but didn’t see any of that sort. Perhaps he looked in a different section.
I’m really not looking forward to having to go back and move all of my stuff to a new room and set it all up again. At USNA they don’t make the middies clear out their rooms before long breaks. They also get almost three weeks for Christmas, but of course they also all had to go back on Friday instead of Sunday. I think I’ll stop comparing now. USMA is by far the better school overall.
My dad left a finger print on my screen when he was putting in the new memory card. Right now it’s really annoying me because the glare from the sun makes it really stand out.
I was half thinking about calling my parents once I got on the plane to tell them that I made it okay. I’m sure that at least my mom was a little worried since last time I missed my flight back. Since they’d be at Church and a phone ringing would probably make them think something was wrong I decided not to call. I asked my Mom to tell Matt that I say “Bye” because I never had a chance to say it in person, or at all for that matter. In fact, I haven’t seen him since Christmas Eve and don’t even know if I’ll get to see him this summer. He’ll probably be really busy and be out of town if and when I get a chance to come home. Perhaps next Thanksgiving or Christmas I’ll get to hang out with him.
They guy next to me is snoring right now. My left arm is pretty uncomfortable because I have it squished up beside me and can’t stretch it out. There, that’s a little better. I closed the tray table and he just moved his arm and so now I can use the other armrest.

Well, this is my last night at home for awhile, probably six months or so. I get a little sad every time I have to leave, but that's normal. Tonight my Dad my dinner and both of my sisters came. After that I finally got around to packing my clothes and then went off to see a movie with Misha, Dragos, and one other guy that also went to Huron but who's name I can't remember. Around midnight I drove over to Steph's place to say bye to her. Liz was over and so we all sat around and taked for a little while. I don't know when I'll get to see Steph again since she's going off to the Air Force in March. She told me that she gets to come home for a bit at the beginning of July and so I'm hoping that coincides with whatever break I may get this summer. I guess we'll wait and see. She also told me that a few of her friends are going to a ball at WP at the end of January. My guess is that it's YWW. We were talking about it and we decided that I should try and find her a date so that she can come out as well. That'd be really cool. Of course, right now I don't even know if I have a date for sure.
This evening Josh's name popped up on my IM list and so I said hi to him, but it turned out that it was actually his dad. We talked for a few minutes, mostly about how he already missed Josh even though he just left this morning. His dad seems like a pretty nice guy. I wonder what Josh'll think when I tell him what happened.
Well, I guess I should finish packing all of my electronic stuff. I'm going back to school with so much more stuff than I came home with. Isn't it supposed to work the other way? Ah well, that's life.

Really I don't feel like doing anything right now, but I know that I should really start packing. Today I bought a new suitcase thing at Target. It's a green one with wheels and a handle that pops up so you can pull it along behind you. I also bought Steph a mini leatherman and a big bag of m&m's as a Christmas/going away present.
The more I think about returing to school the more stressed out I become. I keep thinking about the IOCT and how I am not at all ready for it at all.

I should start packing, but as usual I'm procrastinating. I'll probably get around to it really late tonight, say 2am or so. Right now I have a load of whites in the washer which makes me feel a little more productive.
I just finished installing Microsoft Office XP for Students and Teachers. The more I learn about it the more I think that Microsoft really is like Big Brother.
At first I was kind of hurt, but now I don't think I even really care. Has it really come to that point? I hope not, and since I"m writting about it I don't think it actually has. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't care and that it doesn't matter, but deep down it does. I want to blame him, but then I try and look at things from his standpoint and I can't help feeling bad for even thinking about being mad at him. He's been very busy with work, girlfriend, friends, college crap, and everything so I feel bad for even wanting to impose on his time. That's what I feel like I am, just another thing that takes up time and energy. I'd rather not see him and not talk to him anymore if that's the case.

This evening Frank and I went out to dinner and then later I went with Becki to Kyle's house for a fondu party.
I called Josh today and we talked for a few minutes before he had to run out the door. Hopefully I'll get to see him on Sunday or Monday. On Monday I have CCQ and am not looking forward to that at all because that day is set aside for us to finish setting up our rooms and so it means I have less time than everybody else. This semester I'm moving into a different room with two other girls in my company. We have to room by platoon and they are the only yuck girls in my platoon so it makes sense that we room together. They were roomates last semester and so I'm the newcomer. I don't know them very well, but I guess this will give us a chance to get to know eachother. That was the way it was last year second semester with Amaka, Jasmin and I. Jasmin and I had been roommates first sememster along with Kelly, and then second semester Kelly was roommates with DeeDee and Amaka was our new roommate. I didn't know Amaka very well before that, but now we are really good friends. I'm always running to her room to talk.
Yearling Winter Weekend is in a month. Enough said on that topic for right now.
Hmm, tomorrow, or should I say today, is my last full day at home for a long time. Hopefully I'll get to hang out with Steph and Matt. Steph's going off to basic training for the Air Force in March and so I don't know when the next time is that I'll get to see her. We'll probably both get leave at different times. Matt's just so busy that I don't even know if I'll get to see him at all before I leave. It'd be cool if I could go see another movie tomorrow night. If I talk to Misha on IM at all tomorrow I'm thinking about asking him if he wants to go see another one.

Today I went around the city trying to find a black backpack that is made to hold a laptop. After a few hours I still don't have one. I went to at least 7 different stores ranging from computer stores to luggage stores; office supply stores to clothing stores, including searching in the mall. In all I only found three stores that carried what I needed, and I only liked one of the backpacks that I found. The only problem with it was that it had a $225 price tag. Oh well. Sometimes I wish that WP didn't have so many rules.
Last night was a very enjoyable night. My dad and I went out and bought some more memory for my computer and he also bought me Microsoft Office XP. Then, Misha and I went to see Sweet Home Alabama at the old Fox Village Theater. After that we went downtown and got coffee. After the coffee shop closed we walked around for a little while. It snowed about 3 inches yesterday and was still snowing during the night making driving very slippery and slow.
Two nights ago Teresa and I went out and did a little shopping at Meijers. We found some awesome post Christmas sales such as boxes of candy canes for $.37. We went and decorated Bill, Becki, Frank, and Matt's houses. Matt's house was the most fun because when we were in the middle of putting candy canes on the bushs someone came downstairs so we hid in the shadows. While we were hiding I noticed a car driving down the street and it proceeded to pull into the driveway. We had to take a little break, but we managed to finish his house.
I haven't talked to Josh since Monday. I wonder if we'll talk again on the phone before we get back to school. Who knows.

You always reached out to me and
helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there’s a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You’re a melody
You stand here with me now
Just when fear blinded me
you taught me to dream
I’ll give you everything I am
and still fall short of
What you’ve done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I’ve learned the world is bigger than me
You’re my daily dose of reality
You stand here with me now
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
‘Cause you stand here with me
--Creed , Stand Here With Me--

It's snowing outside! The reports say everything from 2-10in. I was going to go work out at Domino's Farms today and say hi to everybody there, but then when I got up my mom had the car and so I couldn't go. Right before she got home it started snowing and picked up a lot after she go home and so I decided to stay home. Hopefully I'll be able to go tomorrow.
I really like having my own computer at home, and I think it'll be really nice having this one back at school. This evening my dad and I are going out to buy more hardware and software for it. Last night we looked into upgrading the memory and found that the reason they say it's only upgradeable to 384MB is because right now it has two 128MB memory cards in it, but only one can be replaced. There are 512MB memory cards on the market, but they are still really expensive and they aren't very common yet. It is must less expensive to just buy a 256MB memeory card and replace one of the current ones.
Hmm, right now I'm watching the Shawshank Redemption and they just showed Andy shinning the wardens shoes with a regular boot brush. Perhaps I'm wrong, but from my experiance it's pretty hard to get a shine like they showed on a shoe by using a brush. What you need it a good shoes rag and the right combination of polish, water, and pressure. To much of any of those and you're in trouble.

Happy New Year. As of right now I have no real new year resolutions. What's the point? Every year I think about thinking about making one or two. You know, the usual work out every day, eat healthier, get straight A's, learn to fly (just kidding), but then I realize that I really don't have the self-discipline to keep them and will just end up feeling bad about it. This year is no different. I just want to be happy, whatever that may entail.
I went over to Teresa's house. It was great. I got to see Mark, Frank, Sair, Bill, Laura, Hannah, Teresa, Jenny, Mike, Ian, Johnny, Gretchen, David, Mara, and tons of other friends and other people I kind of know, plus I got to meet Stephen from Ireland. Teresa made him sing the Lucky Charms song. It was really funny. I was suprised that he actually knew it. We all rang in the new year together by watching the ball drop in Time's Square on TV.
Teresa and I are up to our troublesome self's again. Last time we got together ended up doing stuff to Bill, Becki, and Matt's houses late at night. Matt's was the best with the little green soldiers on his front porch. I don't know who and when were going to get someone this time, but it'll hopefully be in the next few days.
Hmm, what else do I have to say? Oh, today I say Becca L. I was at an intersection and she was turning the corner. It reminded me of elementry school when her, Rachel B, Christi N, and I used to play together all the time. We were great friends as school, but since we lived so far away from each other, in relative terms of a kindergartner which is about a mile and a half but in two seperate neighborhoods divided by a very busy road, we didn't go over to play at each other's houses very often. In fact, I don't think that I ever had Becca over or went over to her house. In my neighbor hood I had Becca , Amy , Liese , Ian , Chris, and Mike to play with. Occasionally there was also Tim, but he was a year younger than me and I was pretty shy about asking him if he wanted to play. I didn't play with the boys that much because, well, they were boys and at that time boys seemed very weird. It was a little different with Ian and Mike before we started going to school. Mike had the coolest cardboard boxes in the basement which he had turned into forts in the truely childhood tradition. It was awesome. Sometimes his mom would pin towels around our necks and we would run around pretending to be superheros. Ian and I were great friends also, actually better friends than Mike and I. When I was little I was sure that I would marry Ian when I was older. We would play house for hours. He was the dad and would go off fishing, dangeling a stick with a piece of string attached off the side of the stairs. I was the mom who would stay at home with the baby and prepare a lunch to bring him. When we were a little older we would pretend we lived on a farm and that our bikes were our horses. Once we all started elementry school we all started to stay away from members of the opposite sex. Amy, Becca, Liese and I had grand times playing toghether, but not all together all at once. At least two people were always mad at each other for some reason. I tried to avoid that as much as possible because I knew that everytime one of them would say "I'm never talking to you again" they'd have forgotten what they were mad about in a matter of minutes and it'd be back to normal. That's why I kind of laughed whenever I heard that. In fact, I don't ever being mad at a friend when I was younger. Well, there was that one time that MarySarah had a birthday party in 5th grade and only invited a few girls in the class, but told everyone all about it.
As much as we thought boys were icky, gross, and weird, none of us was immune from having a childhood crush. At least I wasn't. It was Mike D, the cutest boy in the kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade, at least in my opinion. I later found out that I wasn't the only one who had a crush on him. Christy and Amy did also, and probably some other girls did too. After Betsy found out about it she teased me for years. I guess I can't blame her; she is my older sister. After 3rd grade I started going to HVS and didn't see Mike again until Freshman year of high school at Huron. He was just as cute, but of course had gotten very popluar and always had a girlfriend. I also had a huge crush on McCaulley Culkin in 3rd grade. Mike may have been the cutest boy in elemetry school, but McCaulley Culkin was the cutest boy in the United States to me. Thankfully I got over that one relatively fast.
Wow, I wrote a lot tonight and it's getting late. Happy New Year.
I went over to Teresa's house. It was great. I got to see Mark, Frank, Sair, Bill, Laura, Hannah, Teresa, Jenny, Mike, Ian, Johnny, Gretchen, David, Mara, and tons of other friends and other people I kind of know, plus I got to meet Stephen from Ireland.

Today my dad and I went to Best Buy and bought a Sony VAIO R505 SuperSlim Pro Notebook. It seems like a pretty nice laptop so far. I want to upgrade the memory on it and am also very interested in buying a USB flash drive. That way I can easily transfer data from my PC to my notebook. The docking station has a floppy drive and a cd-rw/dvd drive, but floppy's don't hold very much and burning cd's can be a pain sometimes. I found a 40 GB external hard drive that connects to the computer via a USB port. That'd be cool to have to store music and pictures. Too bad it cost around $140. Right now I'll settle for getting around 64 MB's for data.
So far I know that I'll know at least three people at Teresa's house tonight. Her, Bill, and Sarah. I wonder who else will be there. Today I was talking to Misha on IM and he said that he didn't have any parties to go to tonight. I wish that I could invite him to this one, but I don't think he'd know anybody, plus it's not my party. On Thursday Misha and I are going to go see Sweet Home Alabama at the Fox Village Theater. He's already seen it and said that it was a pretty funny movie. Over Labor Day we went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. That movie is hilarious. I haven't seen him since then, but we talk on IM pretty often. He's going to make a great doctor.
Tomorrow my mom's side of the family is coming over to celebrate Christmas. That means that tomorrow morning, and probably some of this evening, will be spent cleaning the house. At least I have a reason to duck out of here around 9 tonight. I wonder what my other friends are doing tonight. This break I really haven't seen many of them, mostly because I've been a lazy bum who doesn't feel like picking up the phone and calling them. Planning things takes so much time.
At the beginning of the break I talked to James on IM and we were both talking about how bored we are. He mentioned how when he was a yuck he still had some friends left from high school, but now that he's a firstie he doesn't really have any of them left. Everyone, including himself, has changed so much and gone on to bigger and better things. He was telling me about how he misses school. The first week I'm home I miss school and all my friends there, but then by the second week I start to get used to life at home and it's time to go back. I guess that's how they plan it in the military. They give you just enough time to start to get comfertable where you are and then they tell you to move. At least I know what I'm getting into right now.
Christy just came online. That reminds me that Jen and I were going to get together over break. I haven't seen here since her, Christy, and I got together this summer. I hung out with Christy and some of her friends and family after the Army Navy game. They all had a fun time telling me how much Army sucks. I guess that's what I get for being friends with people at the Naval Academy.
This weekend I found out that Dan wants to do ROTC. I asked him if he'd ever thought about the Academies. He said Annapolis. At least it's not the Merchant Marine Academy. In the past two months I've found out the I know two guys there. One of them was at West Point recently and he called me to see if we could meet. We were supposed to meet out at the parking lot by the baseball field, but that fell through and we didn't get to see each other. I ended up seeing both of them very briefly at the airport when I was trying to get on a flight to get back to school after Thanksgiving. In fact, it was at the same gate that I sat across from Jeff Daniels for about half an hour. That was a horrible day in my life due to the fact that I'd missed my original flight. I hope that doesn't happen again on Sunday when I fly back to school.

Word to the wise. Never come over to my house looking for something to eat. If you do find something you want it most likely is past it's experation date and has gone bad.
Right now my legs feel pretty weird. It's like when I was a little kid and would spend all day running around outside. Then at night I would try and sleep, but my legs would hurt. Or maybe that was growing pains. Anyway, my legs just feel weird and I can't stand on them for very long with out feeling exhausted. It's amazing how a tiny virus can knock a person out. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow.
My parents went to see the Twin Towers tonight. They said it was a great movie. That's one of the movies on my list of movies to see while I'm home. So far I've only seen Analyze That. It was a pretty good movie, very funny.
For some reason my eyes are sore. Especially my left eye. It's kinda feels like something hit me in the eyes. That actually happened a few times. Freshman year I was playing catch with my friend Jamie after softball practice one day and she threw the ball when she was really close to me and I didn't have time to react and catch it. That was my first, and only, black eye. I think it was later that year when I noticed that the area around one of my eyes was pretty sore. It took me a little while to figure out that what probably happened was that during the night I rolled over and hit my face on the side of my bed. It was a loft bed and so there were wood boards about and inch or two higher than the mattress. Besides that minor fact, I really like that bed. It saved a lot of space in my room because I had space underneath it for my desk and a bookcase. Now I have a different bed so that can't be the reason. Ah well.
Wow. I'm tired, but yet I know I won't go to bed for at least another hour or two. At school I'd be worried about staying up this late, but at home this is early. Amazing how things change.
I miss Josh. I'll see him in a few days. Yay.
Right now I'm thinking about writing Matt and email telling him everything that I was going to tell him over the phone but haven't gotten a chance to. I don't know how much I want to tell him, if any. I don't know what is real and what is made up. Plus, if I do tell Matt, do I really want to know what his thoughts are on the whole thing? Hmm, maybe I should try calling him again.

Stomach flu sucks. Hannah and I were lucky enough to both get it yesterday. It made the 8 hour car ride back from NY seem even longer. Oh well, I'm better now and so I shouldn't complain. It was nice to see all of my uncles and my cousins on that side of the family again. The wedding was nice. For the most part I avoided doing a whole lot and spent the majority of the time at the hotel relaxing.
Josh called today. We talked for about 12 minutes. I'm pretty bored right now and wish I could call him, but he's probably not home.
My dad and I went shopping for a laptop for me. We found a Sony one that looks like it's a pretty good one. I probably end up getting that one or buying a more expensive Dell.
Annah called me on her new cell phone that she got for Christmas. That was a nice suprise. I also got to talk to Tia for a minute.
Frank and I were supposed to go out to dinner tonight, but since I don't have very much energy I was kinda hoping that he'd forget. I didn't call him to figure out where and when we were going to meet and thankfully he did forget. I called him around 9:30 just to talk and that's when he asked when we were going to get together. Once I reminded him that it was supposed to be tonight he felt pretty bad, but I told him not to worry about it because even if he had remembered I would've had to cancel on him. Now we're meeting for dinner on Friday.
I talked to Matt very briefly on the phone. He was busy with college applications. I hated those things. He's so busy right now that I don't think I'll get a chance to see him before I leave on Sunday.
Tomorrow is New Years Eve. Teresa invited me to a party at her house that I think I'll go to. Steph also invited me to one at her house, but I don't know if I'll go. If I do I probably won't stay very long because I won't know anyone there.

I've decided to post my stuff again for a while at least. We'll see how it goes. It's not quite like it was before, but right now I don't really care. I'm just glad that I have it up again and can share my thoughts.
Tomorrow, well, actually today in 5 hours, I head off to upstate NY for the weekend with my parents and my oldest sister, Heidi, for my Uncle Dave's wedding. I think most of the extended family will be there, so it should be a fun time...I hope. It was kinda weird not having Uncle Gary and his family over at Uncle Jim's house for Christmas. Ah well, Josh called and so my night ended happily.
Josh is, um, well today I called his house in NM and when his dad answered the phone and asked who I was I said I was a friend from school. That's about all I'll say on that one right now. Maybe later.
So far the break has been very uneventfull and dare I say, boring. A few days ago I was bored out of my mind. Today wasn't too bad. My dad gave me his really old laptop to use to practice using Python, and then Betsy and I made pretzels. I was going to call a few of my friends and try and go out tonight, but then I remembred that I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow and I still need to pack and so I decided it'd be best to stay home tonight. Too bad it's 12:50 am right now and I still haven't packed. Oh well, at least I have clean laundry. That's a start. Plus, I know what books and CD's and taking in the car tomorrow.
It's amazing how things change over time. Friends, family, schools, grades, you name it. I've decided that I'm not going to come home again untill my break this summer, whenever that is. I'm such a nerd. I as I wrote that I was thinking about how it's bad grammer to end a sentence in a preposition, plus I'm always thinking about how I'm writting in the passive voice and using comma's in the completly wrong places. What makes it even worse is that detest english classes and grammer. Anyway, back to what I was talking about before. The only time that I could come home next semester would be for Presidents Day weekend. Hmm, that doesn't make much sense. It's Presidents Day, but yet it's a weekend. Augh! I'm thinking too much again. Once again, overly tired and thinking too much. Or perhaps it's that I'm not thinking, or that one part of my brain that keeps me from talking a lot has gone to sleep and so now I can't stop talking and am saying whatever pops into my head. Hmm, I go on tangents very easily. That just reminded me of math class and drawing lines tangent to the curve. Okay, I need Matt to tell me to stop thinking and talking right now. Back to the first topic of this paragraph. So I won't be home this semester and so I won't see my sisters at all. I doubt they really care either way. When I'm home I hardly see them, let alone have a real conversation with them. We're much more successful talking over the phone. Hopefully I'll find someone to go to the city with during the long weekends or something. Spring break I'm going with the Crew Team to train in Florida. Thankfully we talked Coach Hall out of making us go to Virginia Beach again. It'd be freezing there if we went this year.
Okay, It's past 1am now and I really should go pack. I figure that if I only get a little sleep tonight then I should sleep for most of the drive tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm not driving.

Gah! I hate not being able to writen in this thing and have people read it. So often I think if things I want to say and tell the world, but I can't. Other times I just want someone to be there and listen to me vent, but no one is there and the is nothing that I can do about it.
Right now I"m at home for Thanksgiving. I got home on Wednesday afternoon and go back tomorrow morning. It'd been great being away from school and seeing some of my old friends. On Wednesday evening I went out for coffee with Julia and then she cam over and we talked and reminiced for awhile. Thursday we had Thanksgiving at my house with lost of relatives. That night Steph and I went to see the newest Harry Potter movie. It must of been a popular night to see the movie because I saw Mark G., Marty, Sean, and one other guy I knew from Huron at the movie. On Friday I went shopping for new clothes and makeup. I'd been looking forward to that for awhile because my wardrobe was kinda high schoolish. I spent a lot of money, but am very happy with the results and have gotten many complements. Friday evening I went over to Becki's house, hung out with her, and ate dinner with her family. Then I went over to Mission Christ. Frank and I went out that evening and I told him to meet me there because I wanted to see Matt. Frank and I went for a walk and swung on the swings at the park by his old house. I saw Matt very briefly and then Frank and I went out for coffee downtown. I got home around midnight and decided to watch Men in Black II. It was better than I thought it'd be. Saturday morning Matt and I met at Denny's for a late Breakfast. The rest of today I spent mostly sitting around my house, baking gingerbread men cookies, and watching movies. I called Mark G. and we talked for a bit. I guess I was supposed to call Steph if I had any free time today so that we could do something, but there was some miscommunication there about who would call who, and I also didn't really feel like doing a whole lot today.
It's really nice knowing that I'll be back home in 18 and a butt days. I've been going over that a lot htis evening. There are only 2 Saturdays at school. One of them is Army Navy, and the other one is my first TEE. Hopefully the next 2 and a half weeks will fly by.
Last night I was really tired and thinking at the same time. Bad combination, I know, but I figure that there has to be some worth in what I think of at the time. Anyway, I was thinking about Matt and how we're always both so busy. I don't want to be a burden to him and make him feel like he has to see me or hang out with me when I'm home. He's one of my best friends, but more and more I'm wary of calling him or anything. He's alwasy so busy and I don't want to impede on him or get in the way of anything he has to do. I really do think of him as a brother.
Right now I"m at home for Thanksgiving. I got home on Wednesday afternoon and go back tomorrow morning. It'd been great being away from school and seeing some of my old friends. On Wednesday evening I went out for coffee with Julia and then she cam over and we talked and reminiced for awhile. Thursday we had Thanksgiving at my house with lost of relatives. That night Steph and I went to see the newest Harry Potter movie. It must of been a popular night to see the movie because I saw Mark G., Marty, Sean, and one other guy I knew from Huron at the movie. On Friday I went shopping for new clothes and makeup. I'd been looking forward to that for awhile because my wardrobe was kinda high schoolish. I spent a lot of money, but am very happy with the results and have gotten many complements. Friday evening I went over to Becki's house, hung out with her, and ate dinner with her family. Then I went over to Mission Christ. Frank and I went out that evening and I told him to meet me there because I wanted to see Matt. Frank and I went for a walk and swung on the swings at the park by his old house. I saw Matt very briefly and then Frank and I went out for coffee downtown. I got home around midnight and decided to watch Men in Black II. It was better than I thought it'd be. Saturday morning Matt and I met at Denny's for a late Breakfast. The rest of today I spent mostly sitting around my house, baking gingerbread men cookies, and watching movies. I called Mark G. and we talked for a bit.
