Not Quite The Blog We Wanted…
One year ago, next month, I started this blog and the poor thing only has 2 (now 3) posts in it. Sad. I always say I’m going to keep ______ going and I never do, so I’m not making any promises this time, but when I feel the need to write I will. And when you feel the need to read, I guess you will too.
Last year I would have never in a million years thought I would be at the point I am now in my life. A proud aunt, a new set of realtionships, and still the same school (I may have called that one, boo hoo). Oh ya, and new living arrangements. Isn’t that what happens to everyone though? Life just goes on without any consideration to your expectations and has no regret or remorse when it spits you out in the end. The only thing we can hope for is that it was an interesting ride along the way.
One thing that has been awesome in my life is getting to be a glorified groupie for I Married My Highschool Sweetheart. My boyfriends band–that consists of 6 amazing musicians and works incredibly hard for what they love to do.
On a somewhat revelant note, this summer has been a whole lot of work and very little play. This is the first summer that I have taken classes and it has not been the paradisal summer that I once enjoyed as a youngster. Only one more week until vacation time and then it is back to school for Fall semester. The good thing is I’m fortunate enough to have a family that must take a vacation every summer so I get to go along too. This year it is the baby-powder beaches of Destin complete with coconut daquiris and a cabana boy (i wish). Well, we did get a nice condo with wifi so I’m happy. It gets better! The week before that I get to go to our nations capitol and peruse the city with my favorite person: me, and the gracious soul who is putting me up, Francesca! I’m excited because A: even though I’m a little nervous I am curious to see what a vacation will be like sans anyone I know. And B: I have a recent obsession with TNT’s crime drama series ‘Bones’ and the entire time I am going to fantasize about being Dr. Temperance Brennen the super forsenic genius who is going to solve murder mysteries with her uber cute, FBI sidekick Booth. Jealous? Well I know my sister is. So even though I got to work, go to school, spend my hard earned money on rent and bills this summer it is finally going to be rewarded by two weeks of down time right before it gets to start all over again. Atleast I’ll be going back with a tan.
So my Saturday off turned into a lost cause. It was originally meant for research paper writing but Galileo agrees that I should be blogging and internetting instead. Not my fault.
I’m hearing a Billy Mays commercial in the backgroud. Too soon? I think so cable television.

Looking Up.
So I totally just wrote this all in a page?? Whatever that may be, but here it is again for the viewing audiences.
So things have really gotten better over the past couple days. My mind isn’t as cloudy, busier, but definitely not as cloudy.
So I basically have come to the decision that I am going to transfer to Georgia State starting this Spring. I am really excited to be going to school downtown instead of a place I have lived the majority of my life in. And something I really want to do once I get to State is start to get involved. At Kennesaw I feel like it was very easy to get involved and to make friends but for one reason or another I just had no desire to do so. I don’t know what it was but I think I started at Kennesaw already knowing I didn’t want to be there and everything just snowballing from there. The thing I am nervous about though is maybe wondering if I missed the “prime time” to get involved. I will only be a sophomore but it seems like freshman year everyone is scared and in the same boat as you and I think I just will feel kind of beyond that. BUT unlike being a student at Kennesaw I am going to make a !00% increase in my effort. I mean, I’m not going to rush a sorority or anything like that, lets not get crazy here, but I don’t know maybe there is an avon garde club or a lazy sophomores who are behind in the game alliance. Meh, whatev.

19 whoop eee.
Today is my 19th birthday. The only unfortunate thing about that is nothing too exciting happens at 19. For the past four years I’m used to something new and exciting happening on the anniversary of my birth, but not this year. Oh well.
I feel like this week has been the most emotionally draining week of my life. Summer ended; school started; and I got some news that will change the rest of my life and that of a few close people around me. I’m starting to realize now more than ever that God is really the only one in control of our lives. One moment you could be living a completely normal existence and then literally in a split second everything changes. Weird huh? I know God wouldn’t put anything in someone’s life if he knew they couldn’t handle it so I know that everything will be okay, eventually.
No party plans but feel free to surprise me.
