Hello, Halo

I’m attempting to be a better blogger. It’s easier during the school year though, because I’m always looking for something to distract me from homework.

I had a really nice visit home. Very relaxing. I had to move all my crap from the front porch up to Matt’s old room. Of course, I couldn’t just MOVE stuff, I had to go through all of it. And you know me… when I go through stuff, I go through ALL of it. Oh boy, I found some treasures. Some real gems. I found a really cool picture of me and Tk at the old house on High Street. A picture of my laying across Marci, Trent and Jon. A love letter from my boyfriend when I was 14 ( and ohhhhhhhh man, was it ever good! ). All of my year books from high school and elementary school (the ones from Junior High are mysteriously missing..). OH! And a really wonderful picture of Danielle and I. We’re wearing our Student Counsel sweatshirts (that are entirely too big for us) and we both have really nice triangle hair. Danielle is wearing a spectacular pair of glasses. I also found home made Pokemon cards and some pogs. Yes, pogs.

Time spent packing here in Ames was not near as much fun. I threw away three garbage bags of just.. stuff. Weird stuff, too! How do I accumulate so much junk? I’ve still got some packing to do before Wednesday, but it’s coming together fairly fast.

Nothing too new to tell you about. I have actual hang-out-type friends now, which is a weird feeling. But EXTREMELY relieving. This past year has been so weird. I really like to go out and have a good time, but it’s been hard meeting people and making friends. I’ve had a really good time hanging out with everyone though. Friday, I was even feeleing rather brave, so I gave my phone number to the cute bartender. I was a little tipsy though, and deffinitely wasn’t looking my cutest, so I doubt he’ll call. But, we’ll see.

Becca moved up to the area last month. I haven’t seen too much of her, but more than I have in the past 9 months. It’s been so good to have her around! I hope she’s adjusting well… this area sucks when you first move. I’m feeling better about living here, for the most part. Right now my main concern is money. I’m not going to be able to work as much as I did last year, especially if I want to graduate in two years. So, who wants to finance that? C’mon… just do it.

I’m moving in with Danielle and Jake this week, which is SO relieving. Look, I love Carrie and Brandon. Truly, I do. But Jesus Christ. I am so tired of the coming and going of other roommates. Especially, since apparently it’s totally reasonable to move in without telling the tennents who LEGALLY LIVE HERE. What the hell! I’m excited that the sink won’t smell horrible, that the door will be locked when no one is home, that there won’t be pop cans every where and I will be asked if it’s ok to party… especially when I have to work balls early the next morning. I will admit though, that I’ll miss hanging out with Brandon and Carrie.

Since my school schedule is so ridiculous, I may have to pick up a second job. Tiffany, Asima, Jessica and I are only available evenings, so there is no way I’ll be able to get the hours I need. I’m thinking about trying to waitress a few days a week, but we’ll see. Maybe I’ll just have to take out extra loans. I think that’s what is stressing me out the most right now… fear of having to work two jobs while going to school full time. But, we’ll see.

Until next time!
