I really think professors just love to give us so much work we don't know what to do with ourselves. They must have little committee meetings and plan out their evil plan. I guess it's the way it is. This week was the first full week of the semester and I have to admit I really like only having class tues-fri. Maybe Longwood could work that in a little more. I doubt it....
So I'm headed to Short Pump in a little while! I'm pretty exciting. I should do some homework, but I'm planning on that and church today.
Some good things have happened this week. One of my good friends and I have been fighting for the past month because of girl drama and we are getting back to our normal selves together. Last night we watching Must Love Dogs and My Best Friend's Wedding. We decided I'm going to have tie-dye dresses at my wedding. Haha.- No, not seriously! It's always great when fights with friends end. I feel so relieved it was really bothering me for the past month, as much as I say it didn't, I think it really did. I'm glad we're getting back to the normal us though.
Right now I'm listening to 5 Times August, a band I actually saw with my friend who I watched the movies with last night. Ha, a little ironic.
I have a calendar my mom gave me for Christmas on my desk in my dorm. It's one of those pull the paper off each day for an inspiring quote that's supposed to make you want to jump up and down and tackle the day. I have to say, most days I'm pretty happy to be awake and look forward to the day. Just a second ago I wore off yesterday's, January 30th, to see todays quote. And today's quote is a pretty good one, "Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things." - Denise Diderot.
I think that's a pretty darn good quote myself... let me ponder that one a little Oh, yah, and do some homework before I head to Short Pump!

where's my snow day?

It was supposed to snow and have defiant freezing last night. Yet, the weather man was wrong again. I, who thought I wasn't going to have to make the walk across campus, made the walk across campus this morning to Spanish (and I'm not fond of Spanish) in the rain. Not the snow, but the rain. Seriously?! Back home it is snowing and has been all day. I just want some snow is that too much to ask for? I'm not even going to check the weather today... or for that matter a really long time. I rather be the girl who gets the surprise snow day than the one who anticipates snow and all she gets is rain.
On a lighter note, got a new cd, (well off itunes) by Thriving Ivory. I like it a lot!

miss someone a lot today

College is great, fun, and all I expected and more. But some days I just want that someone special; that someone special for me is my boyfriend of two years, Kyle. He's pretty amazing and he's my best friend. I just wish college didn't mean distance. But nonetheless, the distance is worth it, without a doubt. And I'll see him in a few weeks. Although his birthday is in 3 days and I'm really bummed I won't be able to be home for it with him....
"Distance means so little when someone means so much."
.... Oh how true!

Addicted to Music?... why yes, I am.

Music! What a great thing. Life really isn't complete with it. I like music a lot. Actually no, that's false; I love music. It's just so great and there is always some kind of music to suite your mood. Anytime of the day I always have some kind of music playing. I'm pretty open to any kind, but there is some music I really don't care for and I can't stand listening to the same seven songs over and over again. Unless I really love them. And I mean love them, love them. Not the fad kind of loving but pure loving. If music were a person, it'd be one of my best friends. As a matter of a fact, it may very well be already.
Current new artists I'm liking a lot:
A Fine Frenzy
Thriving Ivory

back to school, second semester

So they say the hardest adjusting part is the beginning when you're away from home and you don't have your mom anymore there fore you every step of the way. Okay, I see and understand that. But really, it's just a different life all the way around you. You somehow between the time of June and August become this adult. Well really, it's like over night. The first night in college after your parents drop you off. I'm ok with it and I think I've adjusted pretty well. College is fun, a lot of work, but nonetheless fun. I do miss my boyfriend back home. I just have to be reminded that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Seeing him over winter break was nothing short of amazing!
Thus, I start the second semester with 17 credits, which include Spanish (not my strongest subject.) Hopefully with a little luck and some practice I'll be able to pull out of there.
