wow this thing needs an update.

so last time i left you, i hadn't made any decisions about college.

well i have finally made my decision and i have decided that i'm going to take a year off to work and stuff. i might take some night classes at the community college.

LOVE FEST 08 was this past weekend. it was great seeing old friends and making new ones.

COBRA STARSHIP IS THIS WEEKEND. finally after 2 attempts, i get to see them live. and i get to see the cab too, FBR's kinda new band.

i get to see THE HUSH SOUND on the 8th. it marks the one year mark since i've seen them last. should be nothing less than perfect. this will be my 5th experience with them. oh the memories.

summer plans: i'm going back to honduras this summer. i miss jackie. and then after i get back, i'm going to chicagoland for 3 weeks. should be an amazing summer.

i am having the hush sound withdrawal

i haven't seen them in close to a year and it is really starting to take a toll on me.

at least they have a new cd coming out soon.

life is going good

i finally got my school's STAND club up and running. we are starting the planning process for a rally this spring.

still havent heard back from VCU yet.

i havent applied to DePaul yet... waiting for the end of the semester so i can show them how much i have improved.

hope all is well out in internet land.

so an update is long overdue.

i have been accepted to 2 colleges so far. Chowan University and Liberty University. i have been offered a LOT of scholarship money to liberty so they are an option. i have been rethinking the whole college in chicago thing lately and i think what i might end up doing is just going to a college for two years then transfering to chi-town. i sent my application in for VCU today, dont really have any intentions on going there. just applied cause i didn't have to pay the fee. i hope to finish my applications for ASU, WCU, and UNC-C by the end of the week. in order to get into DePaul, my top choice, im going to have to audition for the music management program. not so sure that i want to audition but hey, might as well. i hate the college application process...

time for an update!

just as a heads up, this post is not in order of date

i think i left off on the 28th of july so since then, i have finished 1/3 of my summer reading (ive read Dr. Zhivago, still have to read Hamlet and Historia de una Escalera). i started cross country practice and its been VERY HOT. the first week we had been practicing at 5:30 so its was very hot but this week we have started practicing at 8:30 in the morning. not a big fan of getting up early but at least im not running in the heat. Superbad comes out on friday. i really want to go see it. Band camp also starts friday. its freshmen orientation but i decided id go just for the "fun" of it. today im going to the orthodontist again to see if i can get a new retainer to move my teeth back into place.

last weekend i went to carowinds with leah and april. it was fun. and hot. but fun.

im not going to the spectacular this weekend because im going to carowinds again but this time with my youth group.

yesterday i saw my cousin for probably the last time before she leaves for college (tomorrow). shes going to UNC Charlotte.

started applying to some colleges the other day. gah i dont like doing that.

hope everyone is having fun. and enjoying their last few days of summer.

 so ive been home for a week now. i really miss honduras but the week that i've had in america is so making up for my lost time.

quick recap of this week

saturday night, i got home and started to read the last harry potter book. stayed up all night. no sleep. went to church and stayed there all day to work on vbs stuff. came home. finished harry potter. went to sleep (for the first time in over 36 hours)

monday: got up around 8 and off i was to charlotte for warped tour. i met paramore and asked hayley how her arm pit hair is going (its going well if you want to know). spent the day in good company.

tuesday was really great because it was the first time i got to see my TRU buddies in a long time. we did some red flag stuff and then we had lunch. then i got to see LAUREN AND AMANDA (some really cool chicks) that i was excited about seeing cause i hadnt seen them since the day before i left for CYIA camp.

tuesday was also my first day at vbs since i missed it on monday. i taught the largest class (7-9 year olds and we had about 16).

wednesday nothing big happened except that i had vbs again (we had 21 kids that night). finally got to catch up on my sleep that day because i have been going ever since i got back from HONDURAS.

thursday i saw lauren again with joey. we watched harry potter 4 and also spice world! its really sad to know that i still know most of the words to the spice girl's songs. then i had vbs again and that was good

friday i caught up on my sleep again (slept till 12ish). then rachel and shree came over to pick up the coffee i got them in honduras. then i showed them my paramore autographs and told them some stories from honduras. it was great. that night was the closing ceremonies at vbs and we had a cookout, moon bounce slide thing, and water balloon fight. it was all fun. then i went home and slept. again.

i must say that this week reminded me how important friends are to me. being away from the people i love for over a month shows how much i have missed (apparently there was this HUGE sinkhole in the middle of Wendover Ave. while i was gone and some big storm knocked out the traffic lights at friendly). man im glad im back. but sad that i left.

(me with paramore)
