the honors program finally does something good for me!
i managed to get $300 for my NAMM conference trip that they said would be deposited into my student account. woo hoo for getting money to party like a rock star. (sorry, i couldn't resist)
i checked the 5/3 website today, and since I was all payed up for college, that money went directly into my bank account!! so i now have $300 that i didn't think i was going to be able to get out.
i'm definitely thinking a new tattoo... or at the least a new ear piercing.
current mood:  ecstatic

10:00 am - it's about that time
|
2 real exams down + one having to listen to presentations
2 more to go today at 12 and 2. I'm pretty sure the one at 12 I can do bad on and still get an A. I love no pressure exams like that. The other one is for my music business class. We have to listen to some presentations and then take it. Dan pretty much gave us all the questions on the review sheet .
I'm driving home sometime tomorrow after I wake up and etc. Which might be early or late depending on my activities tonight. Jerry informed me that theres still some margarita left at his house. I'm gonna miss him like crazy over break, but he said that he'll visit me.
I start working at the theatre again this weekend. I'm excited for money and having something to do during break, not so excited about the actual work part. Or having to drive to PH all the time. Oh well, it'll give me money for California!

things have been going pretty well for me. i've been working a lot, so i don't have as much time to update as usual. home is nice, but i'm looking forward to going back to ferris. i miss having a bed (i sleep on a couch here), seeing jerry, and just the freedom of college.
my dad said that i get to move off campus next year! that didn't take very much convincing at all. it was pretty much "if you really want to, you can"
i'm going shopping in the next few days to spend some more of the christmas money. it should be fun.
i spent new years eve at my uncle's house. he has cats, which i'm allergic to. that was not fun.
as for resolutions... i think there's a few general guidelines i would like to follow
.budget money
.be a good friend
.be healthier (start going to the rec center again)
.learn to let go of things that i can't control. and forgiveness

2:03 pm - forevers
|
what happens when you realize that you've been thinking in forevers? or more likely, thinking of the future more than the right now.
sure, everyone thinks of what is going on in college, career plans for the future, etc. but what about thinking of accommodating another person in those plans? or even the thought of realising that there might be someone else to consider.
the rational mind tells you "wait, that is wayyyy too early", but you can't help but dream.
what happens if you set yourself up for a dream that isn't going to happen?
maybe this all stems from my recent thoughts about time. it never seems to be on my side. i'm always wishing for one more weekend, one more moment. then there's the realization that time takes people before you're ready for it to.
sometimes i just don't know. why can't i just shut my brain off sometimes.

11:13 am - one month
|
she's been gone for one month.
it's amazing how fast time goes. sometimes i feel like it's slipping through my fingers. like i would give anything to slow it down.
i still think about her every day. i'm sure that one day that won't happen anymore. and it'll sink in that she's really gone.
do i miss her? well, it's hard to miss something you wern't used to having. when you lived life without that person and then suddenly they are gone for good.
i miss the way things were.

new keith urban album!
i love the energy that a new cd from a favorite artist gives you. part amazement, part "ooh, this better be as good as the previous stuff". it's also great to just listen to a new cd all the way through and get your first impressions of each song. all of it constantly reminds me of why i want to get into this business
i managed to purchase it even though i went to wal-mart. i swear, the big rapids wal-mart is full of half-breed people. i don't even know. this town constantly amazes me. and not in a good way.
all is good.
current mood: energetic

i feel like for once, i don't have to know all the answers. they don't matter.
i've realized that i don't know where this is going, but this is the happiest that i've been in a long time.
and it feels good.

12:21 am - cherry blossom
|
Japanese samurai used to contemplate death.
Admitting their own mortality forced the warriors to accept that life is a precious and fleeting gift.
To the samurai this was a melancholy reminder of death amidst life.
The cherry blossom is a reminder that our life will not last.
...i think i found my new tattoo. forget that its japanese. i think that this works for me.

8:16 pm - year deux
|
i'm back at school for the year. everything is unpacked and mostly in correct places. i still have some kind of compulsion to shove some thing all crumpled up in the corner.
having a car here is very nice. i enjoy simple things like being able to go to the store and getting food.
of course, there are things that i forgot to pack. but that's normal.
all of the posters in my room like pretty nice. i really like the snakes on a plane one that i
have.
we have a bunch of new channels this year, but my favorite by far has to be the food network. i have an unhealthy obsession with it.
yesterday i saw beerfest. i recommend going drunk. sadly, i was driving and couldn't.
i just discovered the song "Over My Head" by the fray on my computer. this is funny because i've been hearing it on the radio and wanted to know who it was and considered downloading it. now that i think of it, the song was one of those free downloads from itunes months ago.

sigh. what made me think that i could get away from the krafft?

8:47 pm - nineteen

so... i managed to get through 18 without getting married or becoming pregnant. yea me! but, as my grandma has told me a few times in the past weeks "i was 19 and pregnant". still, its not going to happen to me. there were no candles on my cake (there would have been 35 candles for kyle and me), so i didn't get to wish on those. but i think that i should get a wish anyway.
we'll see how 19 goes. so far no different from 18.
current mood: cheerful
current music: happy birthday to me!

8:40 pm - arr!
|
i stayed after work last night to see pirates of the caribbean 2. the movie was enjoyable, but the lack of an ending made me think of it as more of a ploy for the third one. the next one will have to rock in order to validate my enjoyment of this one. on top of being able to see johnny depp and orlando bloom i found commidore norrington pretty hot once he got rid of the powdered wig.

12:28 pm - My, look at all the time that's flown by
|
so its been two or so weeks since i've updated the old el-jay. that is mostly from lack of going on the computer. not having internet in my room makes it so much easier to do other things.
i can't believe that it is july already. there are 9 days until bayfest! yesterday night my dad came over grandmas house with a gift for me. a straw cowboy hat with a miller high life patch on the front. now i'll fit in with all of the other people seeing keith urban. the only thing that sucks is that it'll be 10 days before my 19th birthday. oh well, it will be fun enough without getting drunk.
speaking of dad... the last two weekends he's been bringing his 'special friend' to stay at our house. after a day or so of me adjusting to it, i've realized that i'm really fine with it. before i was fine with it in theory, but we all know that you can have different opinions until you are really faced with something.
today is the forth, and i have to go to work tonight. it shouldn't be that bad. this weekend will probably be crazy because pirates of the caribbean is coming out and we have it. maybe i'll just have to sneak away to do theater checks more often...
current mood: happy
