I DO have something to rant about (and I'll try to keep it short.)
I really hate when two people are in a relationship and when that relationship ends, people pick sides. Why? I don't get it. I think it's stupid. My parents were married 27 years...so why do one have to hate one person in the relationship and side with the other?
I was asked the other day what I felt about the fact that my father cheated on my mother.
I honestly, in the past two years, haven't thought about it. I saw that my father left because he was unhappy. The girlfriend was a side note. And to be honest, I don't really care. It just makes me sick when my mom's side of the family talk about my dad in a negative light. Get your own life. Stop focusing on the mistakes of others.
I bring this up because apparently people STILL hate me over what happened between me and Glenn, and I know it. I know that whilst I went away to Lynchburg in my little happy bubble that people here started to think less of me. I deserve it, yeah. I'm horrible at calling people back and since I've gone away to college, I hate talking to people on the phone. But really, why are people so FUCKING FOCUSED on my life? WHy do they care? Shit happens. It still reminds me of the time that I dated someone who cheated on me, and his friends sided with him and hated me for breaking up with him. I was the good guy, and I got hated on and criticized.
Maybe this is what I hate most about relationships. It doesn't really matter how long they are, nine months or 27 years, people still pick sides at the end.
Why can't everyone just love each other and forgive?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just another part of why i've been feeling so horrible lately. It's part of a long story on how I really don't feel like I belong here anymore. In fact, I feel like such a drifter and I totally hate myself right now. There has been a lot on my mind, and in the past month, I really have been quite alone. I go to the grind, and that's about it. I don't have inspiration for much else.
In fact, Dr. Alerding called me yesterday because she suspected that something wasn't right because I hadn't emailed her in about 2-3 weeks or so. She landed a job at James Madison University (JMU!) and it makes me happy that she finally found something.
Anyway, the only thing that has been keeping me sane is Vacation Bible School. It has been a total blast! I love it. Pastor Donna and I have been working on the Bible Adventures section and it has been fun. Hahahaha today she acted as Lazarus (whom Jesus resurrected from the dead) and it was so funny...the kids totally got a kick outta us. Monday we did this story about a paralyzed man being lifted through the roof of this house by his friends so that he could be healed by Jesus. Pastor Donna got to throw stuff through the makeshift ceiling, hehe.
On Sunday, I went to church and afterwards, a bunch of the men helped me finish the walls I was building for VBS. My church is pretty amazing, we finished up in like 20 minutes. I gave Mike Aldrich (one of the guys from church) a ride home, and then I went to Deb's graduation party. It was so good to see her again!
After that I went to work. I totally freaked a bunch of people out when I'd recite random history facts to them...
"Your total sir is $17.83 and did you know that that was the year that the U.S. signed the Treaty of Paris and finally gained independence?"
"$18.85...Chester Arthur was serving his term as the 21st president during this year."
Amazing.
that night I came home and painted dropcloths for church. Yay
Monday afternoon I slept and ran out to Jo Ann's and Home Depot. I am not a Home Depot fan but their prices on dropcloths are about half of Smith Hardware's. I also got Edy's Caramel Praline Frozen yogurt and it's really good.
Today I slept. And read up about Route 66 a lot.
On Saturday I worked, too. I ran into Doug Hufnagel which was a pleasant surprise. He dyed his hair black with a blonde stripe in it. I used to work with him at Smith's back in the day.
Oh how everything is always better in retrospect.

but not quite! No, I will not quit writing!
Blah...so yeah. Yesterday I woke up really early and went up to church to build me some walls. It took me 2 hours to build the first one, and I felt so accomplished when it was finished!
The other wall is still sitting on the floor, lol. I couldn't quite get the electric screwdriver to work right towards the end, and then I had some issues with the nailing. So I drove to Subway in Forest Hill, ordered a sub from Christina Nunez (we were in AP chem together) and then I ate it and went to work.
Work yesterday has become a giant blur to me. I got pissed a lot. I was stuck at the register whilst everyone else got to stock shelves. I did run into Doug Hufnagel though, whom I use to work with, and now he has super cool emo hair, lol. Ran into Ms. Karen, one of my old troop leaders, too.
I became very slap happy tired yesterday though. I shut the drawer a lot without giving the people their change. And I giggled and practically fell over. Damaris bought me a soda so that I would stay awake driving home. Yay.
I got really petty mad because Damaris would assign me a job and then halfway through would give it to Leah. That made me angry. However, I did not pack a dinner but yet mysteriously Damaris and Deana gave me the rest of their chinese food. Score!!!! And Deana gave me a peanut butter cup. Double Score!!!
today I woke up very tired and very sore. It made the day go by so slowly. first, Janey and I were doing makeup (I was setting up displays and the like) but then her back hurt and she went home early.
I got a small child who tried to pay for gum with coupons, lol. I also got an angry father who wanted cough meds but didnt have his ID (this happened yesterday, sort of, except the kid was 17 and 8 months old.) I also ran into Father Jim, "The priest from my old church before I switched denominations" hehehehehehehe
Linda gave me Sun Chips. Oh, and Henry and I got to work together a lot today. Aka, he fixed all of my register mistakes. Good trainee. Henry is pretty sweet. We joke with each other a lot. He reminds me of Nelson in appearance, but nothing else. (Too bad Henry is like 30 something...just kidding) At one point I asked Henry for change and so he asked me for 120, and I interpreted that as one $20 bill. He really meant one twenty (dollars!!!!!)
Yeah so I went to Home Depot and came home. Did I mention that Home Depot's customer service blows?
I got compliments today for being polite on the phone and for knowing my cigars, lol.
So now i get to go to bed and then go to the grind again! Oh and Cosmo has some of the best sex tips ever, lol. Yeah yeah, so that is how I pass the time at Rite Aid. Read magazines.
Some lady complained today about how faulty our price system is because she was ripped off 21 cents for windshield wash fluid. Silly lady, she should have really gone to Smith Hardware because really she was ripped off 42 cents. Snap.
okay now bed for real. HAhah but one last thing. Poor Henry got a bunch of his hair chopped off by accident the other day. See mommy, this is why I haven't gotten those split ends cut yet...
And I think i want to be a college professor and get that double major in history.
I got all emo this evening and depressed but calling Pastor Donna for her birthday made me feel better ^_^

So I figured out why I've been so down lately and depressed. So I'm going to say it. I HATE MY JOB.
If one knows me very well, they would know that I typically don't hate anything. But well, Rite Aid is an exception. They have sucked away my life for the past three weeks. I want to quit, but the only reason I have the job is because my father is one of my district managers, so I don't really want to let him down. Nor do I want to be called a failure.
Plus, I've decided to write a book (or novella or short storey or whatever) on my Rite Aid experience, and well, if I quit now, it sure puts a damper on things (unless I lie about the ending...oh creativity.) Although I could easily work for Jeff Lynn for $10 an hour!
So anyway...this morning I woke up at Megan's house (wait, I slept?) Hahahaha I woke up about every 1.5-2 hours. And I figured that out, too, why I haven't really enjoyed spending the night at Megan's house lately. In the past, we would sleep downstairs in Megan's old room, where no dogs or nothing bothered us. Plus, I had a bit more room to sleep. Now Megan and Becca have switched rooms, and now we are on the main floor, which is fucking disasterous. I can hear her parents get up at 6am and the dogs running around and when all of the siblings get up and watch TV and stuff. It's aggrevating and disappointing. I don't hate her dogs (in fact, I like them a lot) but I just don't enjoy when the only space that they can use to get onto Megan's bed is my back :(
Anyway, so we hung out a bit that morning, and then Megan went to work and me to church. I had Mr. Gene let me in, so I carried all of my lumber inside to make my Vacation Bible School Set (ironically, the pressures of Bible School have kept me sane lately.) So I carried it all downstairs and then found out that neither my screws or nails were large enough to connect the 2x4's together. D'oh.
So I went and visited Nannie (Glenn's grandma - she's awesome by the way) and then I came home and showered and stuff.
While I was at bible school, I realized that I really needed another day off (Sunday) and so I called my general manager to see if he had made the schedule yet. So I call and Dennis answers the phone. He tells me that the schedule was made that morning, and that I was working Sunday. I told him my scenario and he was like "too bad because you are on 2-10" or something to that extent. Then come to find out, he had me on all day work when I specifically asked for evenings next week, and then he had me working on my birthday!!! I was PISSED.
He called two hours later to say that there was a schedule mixup (HAHAHAHA yeah right) and then gave me my new hours. I work sunday, wednesday, thursday, and saturday. Woo. Not, because I work this week Monday, thursday, friday, saturday. So I get four days straight, aka the entire weekend.
Oh Rite Aid makes me angry. "I make the schedule one week in advance" yeah, considering today is Wednesday and next week starts on Sunday, I would call that "I make the schedule FOUR DAYS in advance" and this occurs weekly. And yeah there's other stuff I hate about Rite Aid, too, but I should try to hold off discussing that.
I'm such a snotty emo brat.
I went to the Orioles game tonight with my mum, Ms. Sharon, and Tracy. They won 4-0 against the Florida Marlins. It was an amazing game. I got a kids tshirt with the orioles on it, and got my picture taken with the Bird. I caused a huge pileup whilst getting ice cream though. Oh that was hilarious. The lady overcharged me and then couldn't figure out how to void it and then locked up the register (this sounds quite familiar...oh like rite aid) and then the line grew to 20 people (angry people) behind me and I felt horrible. The lady told me not to come back to that line, lol.
There was almost a fight on the field, too! Melvin Mora got hit by a ball and then both teams rushed the field and it was crazy. Wanna know something really crazy though? On the ride back home on the light rail, we were entertained by a bunch of super hot (and very drunk) Towson U. boys!!! "ORIOLES!!!" "OLE OLE!" "USA!!! SPAIN!!!!" And then someone shouted "Yankees!" and then lotsa boos occured lol (like it should be!) But yeah they asked my mom out, lol. And there was a blonde Lexi Smith look alike!!! (drool.)
So I am home now. Not excited about fully figuring out the last three weeks of my life, but, that's obsession for ya.

So my past few days were fairly good.
Thursday morning after my emolicious entry I went to flag practice. Then I went to Apt 21 for the last major time this semester. When I arrived, a bunch of the guys were playing this game called Zombies. I came too late but kept the score. It was fun hanging out with everyone. Hahaha Josh tried to trick John Roberts with a bunch of penis tricks and I kept a tally on how many times Josh needed his ass kicked. (Total was 20.) Then eventually me, Josh, and Kytri went to Kroger’s and Kytri bought us a 12 pack of Smirnoff. They were delicious. I could only get through two of them though. I was drunk. We then watched Kung Pow Enter the Fist and Army of Darkness. I don’t remember a thing from either. But I do know that I was tired and ended up staying the night. I slept on the floor.
It was a really fun night. I’m really going to miss hanging around Josh this summer. Friday morning I left around noon to go back, change my clothing, and meet up with Dr. Alerding for the last time, probably ever. I helped her pack her Honda CRV with some of her books and stuff. We talked fairly randomly. It was very much like the pace of everything from the last semester. I wanted to reexplain to her how much she means to me…but it didn’t happen. She did hug me goodbye though. I never really realized how much shorter she is that me until she hugged me, lol. It was a hard realization because it didn’t occur to me that she was gone right away. It seemed quite unbelievable. I ended up meeting with Travis afterwards. We got lunch/dinner at Applebees and then went to Goodwill, and then up to the Peaks of Otter. It was fun, we went to his swimming hole and chilled on the beach since it was cold in the water. We hung out the entire day. We went back to his place, where TJ was sleeping, and came in and chilled for a bit. Then we had to take TJ home and go back to school. I packed a whole bunch and then got maybe an hour and a half of sleep. Saturday morning was graduation. It was such a beautiful day. It was awesome for being an outdoor ceremony. I carried in my Uzbekistan flag (yay) and took lotsa pictures of everyone walking down the aisle and them getting diplomas and the like. I’m going to miss all of those guys. The ceremony itself was nice. I sat with Cyndl for a while and then parked on the grass for pictures. Afterwards I went out to lunch with Katie, Josh, Sean, John Roberts, and a couple others at this Indian restaurant and it was DELICH! Travis helped me to finish packing, where it took a while because I had to fit everything in the car. I pulled it off though. It was IMPRESSIVE! I had to run to Sarah Rose’s to pick up my blanket, and then I said goodbye to Josh and then left at 7:30. Got home at Midnight exactly. That’s 4.5 hours. Would have been about 15 minutes shorter if I didn’t stop for a cheeseburger, ice cream, and coffee on the way. Oh yeah, don’t eat ice cream whilst driving. And don’t speed on US Route 29. Passed 5 cops on that road in VA. Thought one of them was pulling me over, too. Thank God he was after someone else. I tell ya my luck’s gonna wear off. Hardcore. Sunday I woke up early and took my mother and brother to church. They liked it a lot. Pastor Donna did a sermon on the “I am the Vine You are The Branches” thing in John 15. It was really good. Joey Wesbter sat with me, too. They did slideshows for the 2006 graduates and the mothers of church members. Oh and it was great to see everyone! We went to lunch in Havre de Grace when I realized that I forgot my purse. Stupid me. I had to call Nannie to have her pick it up for me. Hahaha yeah. My camera was in there which sucked because we couldn’t take pictures, not to mention I missed a good picture opp near Concord Point Lighthouse when there were 35 goslings chilling out with a bunch of adult geese outside! Saw my grandparents and Aunt Marsha and cousin Ryan. Ryan bought a house with his boyfriend David and they’re fixing it up which is awesome. Yep. Monday I ended up going to school to visit Paul Gant. It was a sorta shitty visit. I felt incomplete after leaving. We got interrupted a lot, which is okay…but it bothered me because the only stories I told him were party/getting drunk stories…yeah. Awkward? I then went to visit Megan. I ended up spending the night with her. It was a lot of fun. We stopped by Glenn’s to get my purse and then went to Bel Air, visiting Ethan and Meg’s grandparents, too. I bought a Hawthorne Heights Tee shirt whilst I was out, which was good because I needed something to wear the next day, yay. Yeah. Watched Grey’s Anatomy. Played Karaoke Revolution and Jeopardy. Yay. Next day we woke up early (GAH!!!!) and went out to Bel Air again. Met up with Scott. Walked around the mall. Ran into Jayson, Corbin, and Dakota in the mall, which was cool. Went to McDonalds. Then I departed. I guess I went home? After I rewalked around Bel Air, of course. I went to the new Jarrettsville library, which psyched me out. I checked out Wicked and a couple of books on learning Spanish as well as Japanese. Yay. Ran into Marie and Lacey there. Stopped by Smith Hardware. Talked to Nelson. Bought some diet dr. pepper. Hmmm. Went home. Slept? Read? Wednesday I visited Jayson. Watched the rest of Saikano, which we never finished from two years ago. Cute even though the ending was strange. Went up to school to visit Herr Blake. Ran into a bunch of people that I knew, including Ryan, my next door neighbor. I watched them tear down the old gym. It was strange. I took pictures. They ripped the whole structure down. Went out shopping with my mummy. Bought some cute clothing. And a new bathing suit from target, yay. Watched Elliott get kicked off Idol. Thursday I chilled. Met up with Rossi and Amanda to buy groceries. Went to Friends Park and mellowed out some more. Went to Sponsor’s house for Emmaus weekend 138 at Camp Wo Me To. Gosh It was great to see so many of those people again!!!!!! Friday I went in the morning to see the Art Show. Coincidentally it was during Paul Gant’s planning period (God Moment????? I think SO) and so I talked to him. Saw a lot of people that I knew. Came home and packed. Picked up Rossi and Brittany. Rode with Britt down to Ocean City. Got here 22 minutes before the others. Got pulled over on the way. So my luck DID run out. 58 in a 35. Shit, right? Well, I got a verbal warning and that was all. Yeah, you better believe I phreaked out. The speed had dropped from 55 to 35 and I didn’t notice. “Could you tell me why I clocked you doing 58 in a 35 back there?”
“I must not have noticed that the speed dropped.”
“That’s funny, because it dropped about 5 miles ago.” Damn. But then we noticed that he pulled me over RIGHT BEFORE the speed changed back to 55. HAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah. So we went to a seafood buffet, walked the boardwalk, and watched Howl’s Moving Castle. Yay, good times. Saturday we went grocery shopping and to the beach. I read some of Wicked. We came back, cooked Tacos. Went to the boardwalk and got henna tattoos. Came back and watched part of Pretear. Today we woke up. Britt and Amanda and I walked the boardwalk. Went back to Billy the henna guy. Ate thrashers fires and dippin dots ice cream. Ate more junk food, too. Watched the rest of Pretear, Elizabethtown, and Gravitation. Went swimming. Took pictures of Brittany/ "Who would have thought Christianity would cause so much pain?" - Billy the Henna guy after hearing about my peeling fiasco.
"He couldn't take it up the ass because he's full of shit!" - me refering to a wimpy gay guy and it turned into a pun!

Woo, I'm wide awake, it's morning. I hate this.
I've been so emo because I'm pretty depressed. hahaha. Just had a shitty past couple of days, that's all.
After my last emo-filled entry, I ended up talking to Jill and then I was heading to Travis's when we got into a fight and I turned around. I came back to school and ended up visiting my favorite professor, woo. Well, that went well...she even offered to buy me coffee at Starbucks so I kindly accepted.
She drove, and bought me not only coffee but the yummiest (and most overpriced) turkey and cheese sandwich ever. And we talked. And it was fun...until I slipped, and told her that I drove by her house last weekend in Lexington. Oops...well, fuck. That's not how the story ends, is it? The goodbye wasn't supposed to go like that. But whatever. I don't think she was too freaked out...either that or she hid it very well. Either way, It's been bothering me, and that sounds so stupid.
Maybe Dr. Alerding meant more to me than I gave credit. Okay, yeah, she does. And then when I sort of told her this on the car ride back to school, she was confused. Yeah, I guess telling someone who is athiest/agnostic that God's the reason we became close would stir up some confusion. Kick myself in the head.
I got invited to party that night. Instead I went to Travis's because I didn't want to break my promise to him. I've been with him since and damn do I regret missing that party. I went to his house and cried and cried and cried because I didn't want to be there. I wanted to be at Apt 21. We did have a good bonding moment, though, admittingly.
That evening we had gone to see the movie Thank You For Smoking. It was pretty good. We came back and played this Da Vinci Code Puzzle thing on Google. Woke up at 1pm so we could finish it within the first 10,000 and win a criptex thingy.
Went to Natural Bridge and had a lot of fun. Saw the Bridge and the Wax Museum. Drove to Roanoke. Went to the mall, Books a Million. Travis bought me a The Princess Bride shirt, which was sweet of him. Not necessary but still cool. That boy really does go out of his way for me and then I'm such an ass to him...sigh.
Came back to his place and watched Lost and then I fell asleep. He apparently had tried to wake me up and had no luck until 3am. Now because of him I can't sleep.
I drove back here and had a funny experience with the police. I had a cop following me and I thought it was Travis and I pulled over and he sat there, lol. So I got out of the car and explained things to him, lol. And then he drove away. I was sure he was going two miles up the road to set up radar and get me, but he didn't.
So now I'm here, at school and lonely. I wouldn't have come back tonight but I needed to clean my fridge. I haven't had the inspiration, though. I'm kinda too upset to do it.
I don't know why I've been feeling the way I do about Travis...probably because I like other people that I don't have a shot with at the moment (because they're taken) so I took him as second best? That sounds stupid. Travis is really sweet to me. I think I have something against him though because he hasn't so far been terribly successful at college. And the fact that I feel like we're back in a relationship because I'm too weak to say no... And I think there's a lot more...but this is a public journal after all.
Guess I should get to that fridge. And I should get to the bottom of everything so that I stop acting like an asshole.
Why can't I stop crying?

Why am I so sad? Exams are over. It's done, my first year of college. I should be happy. No more studying for at least 3 and a half months...
Well, I just failed my last exam. I feel like I let myself down and ended on such a horrible note. I studied and everything...it's just that the actual exam portion of the exam didn't start until 11am...so I had been in that stupid room for two hours, allowing everything that I had crammed into my little pea of a brain to slip away...
and then I cried. God I feel like such a loser...but I really wanted a good grade. And now I have nothing to show for it. It sucks. I did fantastic on my first four exams. Fan-fucking-tastic. And now...my efforts have been thrown into shit. I can't stop crying. So now I probably have a B- in comm. When I could have had much higher. All because of this damn exam.
But at least on Saturday night I hung out with Travis and then partied with Apt 21...and that was fun. We ended up having to move to John Roberts' townhouse though when Thomas came in and yelled at us because he wanted some sleep. I had a White Russian. Yum...the party was a preppy popped collar party, and it was a blast. I took lots of pictures on my digital camera and it made me happy. Afterwards I walked back with Amy, Meghan, and Travis Blount-Elliott. I ended up taking Amy's Physics and Chem books off of her hands, which was cool.
That morning I went to church with Travis. We went to Peakland's new praise and worship service, and wow...the guy who gave the sermon made me think I was in Thomas Road Baptist Church (Jerry Falwell's church)...it was...eh...but then we hung out. Napped and then went to Milano's Italian Restaurant for food. Yay.
That night I studied. Wrote a paper for Dr. Lipani. Talked to Scott Woodson a bit that night. Woke up in the morning, studied some more. Gave Lipani my paper. Took my english exam at two. Went to dinner with Jaime. Went to work. Came back, played with Jaime's cat, gave Scott my computer to borrow since his died, studied for comm.
Got coffee in the caf with Jared and Eric Bailey. Offered to take Eric home to Michigan if his car died next week. Studied.
Took my exam this morning. Failed.
Yeah. Sigh. Gosh dammit.

Hmm, another week has past. In two I'll be home. It's a crazy thought to think about.
I'm going to miss everyone. I really will. I'm not excited about rising gas prices though... :(
but I'll try to visit when I can.
Backwardsness:
Today I had to wake up early to make up my bio lab exam (spoiler: I missed my exam yesterday because I didn't feel well.) And I either did fantastic or failed it. I finished it in like, 30 minutes. I was up a good chunk of the night studying...I hope it was worth it. At least now I can pretty much tell you anything you want to know about fetal pigs, photosynthesis, and plants/trees. At least on Ms. Bell's exam I didn't have to identify any damn wildflowers...yay.
Last night Jill taught me how to make coffee. Oh man is Folgers good...kept me up all night. Until 3:30am, at least, when I started to shake a lot and figured that I should probably get some rest.
Yesterday was not bad of a day. I went to french, listened to some speeches in comm, and got a lecture on DNA replication. It's a creepy thought...after this time next week, Dr. Alerding will be gone...hopefully not from my life, but if that does happen, I guess it happens.
Went to lunch, sat with Taranee, Kelly, and Wink. Went back to my room, wrote my paper on genetic engineering (actually that paper pissed me off...there is no way that one can write a two page paper on the ethicity of that topic.) Turned my paper in around 3:30 or so...interviewed Professor Guggenheimer for my research paper for english.
had a tuna sandwich for dinner with Pete. Yay. Went to the mall. It was opening day for the Hot Topic down here, yayness...except that because they are a new store ,they haven't acquired a clearance rack yet :(
I found this awesome blue dress at Maurice's. It's $44. I wanted to buy it. but maybe I will today...
Came back for PASS. Talked to Rachel Fazio a bunch afterwards about, ahem, a few things. I hate being close to Dr. Alerding sometimes because she often slips and tells me things that she shouldn't...and then i'm stupid and slip them out lol...
Went back to my room, talked to Jill a bunch. Went to Methodist Student Fellowship and wow was it intense. It was a great discussion that started on "what is your opinion on the God's plans/ free will thing?" and then it led to how sometimes one event can make us closer to God. It's craziness.
And then Jill and I went to Sheets. I got some Corn Pops. Jill got a phone card, and the people had no idea how to ring it up, and then I yelled (accidentally) at some man for butting in front of me in line. And then Jill taught me the wonders of coffee making.
Tuesday: I was sick. I went to english a bit delirious. Went to my last career development class. Chilled in the modern language resource center (as i'm doing now) and then while chillin with Jen, Mark, and Scott outside Centennial, I got really sick. Bad headache and stomachache. So I took some meds and ended up taking a 5 hours long nap...
I still woke up feeling shitty. I went to dinner, got some cereal, and then ended up calling my Grandmom, and then Glenn ended up calling me. Wow was that a bit unexpected...hmmm...I've got some pretty contrasting opinions on that conversation that are better left unsaid. I afterwards got some homework done but then I went back to sleep.
Monday: The usual classes: french, comm, and bio. Had lunch and then gave a tour at work. Hahaha it's so funny...I ended up giving a tour to this girl named Kathryn Napoli and her mom...who happened to live right near my grandparents...bizarre! I was being nosy and read the girl's information when I noticed her address...the mother was pretty excited about it, lol.
I finished my lab report, finally. Turned it in to Dr. Alerding. I was pretty pissed because when I tried to hand it in to her, she was like "fix this and this and this and this..." when really all I wanted to do was hand the damn thing in and forget about it. I ended up fixing stuff though so I'd get a higher grade. whee.
I had dinner with Marie and Caroline and Brian and then eventually J-pride. Went to work and then to the circus with Travis!!!!!!! OMG the circus was awesome!!!!!! I got to RIDE AN ELEPHANT....YAYNESS! lol it was like, in a circle three times but so WORTH IT!!!! Travis and I had a really really great time. Haha there was this one act with this acrobat couple and we were like "this show wasn't for kids!" lol...yeah. So we hung out for a little while afterwards and then I came back and went to sleep.
Sunday I ended up going to church with Travis and Alexander (his stepbrother that looks just like him.) They came down from Fredericksburg and it was cool...except the service we went to (at Peakland UMC) was gah oh so boring...but they're starting a praise and worship service in two weeks, so hmmm...we'll see how that goes. I then drove them back to Montvale and back so Alex could go home and Travis could get some things...
Then we went and saw Antigone. Because we were 10 minutes late we got in for free, yay. It was really good. I ended up getting into an argument with Travis over my friendship with Brian, but things worked out. We ended up going for a picnic at Hollins Mill Park and bought lotsa fruit to bring with us, hehe. We also went walking on the Blackwater Creek trail, too.
Then we came back and I went with my coworkers to our end of the year dinner at La Caretta, where I proceeded to get really sick off of yummy greasy mexican food. I believe I visited Jill afterwards, which was fun.
Saturday: I took the day to sleep in and work on some homework. I went to Donald's with Jill in the pouring rain and we went to dinner together with the rest of J-pride. Yay. I didn't really do anything that night...just homework and chillaxin.
Friday: Had my classes, did my time. I pretty much slept through French...presented my speech in comm. It was a policy speech about increasing nutrition in schools and Dr. Todd said it was boring...lol although it was more of an inside joke that only her and I get (I called her class boring once, so she was like "HA! Your speech was boring. We're on even ground." that sorta thing. And yeah, it was boring, I'm not gonna lie (hahaha the VA saying.)
Dr. Todd tried to convince me to be a comm major the other day...and I've been considering it, sort of. Maybe I'll just minor in it, who knows. If anything she made my life more complicated but that's okay.
Watched a movie on Dr. James Watson, the craziest man ever, in biology. He invented the double helix and is responsible for getting the money from the govt. to map out the human genome. He's a new age Hitler who is too old to really do anything, lol.
I got inducted into Phi Eta Sigma today. Yay. That's the freshman honor society here at LC. So yay hahaha I have a greek title thingy to put on resumes. I doubt I'll make it into any other greek honor societies but who knows. I've thought about joining Gamma Sigma Sigma next year, which is a non selective community service greek organization...but we'll see.
That evening I worked on homework. Hung out with Jill and Justin and then Went to Apt.21 with Jess and Jaime. It was fun except that the three of us were really too tired to party, lol. I ended up getting into a small rift with Travis about going to King's Dominion the next day but thankfully that didn't last long. He came by and apologized to me.
Thursday: Too long ago to remember, lol. Had my classes. We talked about Margaret Sanger in my english class. Had a tour with some families. Went to new testament late, took my test, and listened to a really cool lecture from Josh Bell. He's this pastor guy who is in my class because as a pastor for the Disciples of Christ church, he had to take a class/workshop to "further his education, update it, etc." so he took the class I'm in. He had long hair that he just got cut...he grew it for locks of love <3 ... but then they wouldn't take it lol because it was layered or something. But he lectured about how Christians aren't the only ones that believe in Creationism, which is true. it really got me thinking a lot. He talked about darwinism and all that, too.
gosh I love my new testament class. Who'd have thought that out of taking a class about the second section of the bible in a historical viewpoint that my faith would grow? And now I have even better ways to defend my faith and beliefs, yay, because now I actually know what goes on in each book lol. I actually had a good conversation on tuesday with Scott and this other girl, Sara, about homosexuality and lol I was like "i agree with you even though I am a Christian because the sections that state homosexuality is wrong are actually invalid lol" yay. I love everyone. Good ol' Christian love that fundamentalist Christians sort of forget about when they start bashing everyone.
Anyway. I got to chill with my buddies Jen, Mark, and Scott for a while. And then I went to this leadership awards thing because ESA was nominated and blah, biggest waste of time ever. I went back to Jess and Jaime's room afterwards though, which was fun, and then Jess and I gripped about the awards lol.
So yay that's my life. Gotta head to English in a few. Yay.

My week.
Thursday: Had english class in the library. Had career development. Lunch. New testament. Hung out with Jenn, Mark, and Scott. Hung out with Travis. We saw fireworks from the Hillcats stadium and they were very pretty. Went and saw Doogal, a kids movie, at the dollar theatre and hung out. Watched Death Cab for Cutie on TV.
Friday. Had my classes. Ended up going with Travis that evening to the From Charity to Justice event about Fair Wages and met Jerry Greenfield from Ben and Jerry's. He gave a talk, we ate his ice cream, it was all good. It was at Randolph Macon and we ran into Dariana there, yay. I don't remember what else we did. I have such a bad memory.
Saturday. My mummy and brother Danny came to visit me, yay. We had lunch at Cracker Barrel, saw the National D-Day memorial in Bedford, took a walk on the James River (where I walked 4 miles in flip flops and was bleeding by the end), visited the Old City cemetery, and then got Dairy Queen ice cream. We also went to the dollar theatre and saw Big Momma's House 2, which was hilarious.
Sunday. Easter! Yay. Went to Peakland UMC with the folks and then to Charley's to eat lunch. I got chicken cordon bleu and it was soooo good. Then they left and I went to hang out with travis. We went to Roanoke Mountain, grabbed a bite to eat at the texas tavern in Roanoke, and then bought some Ben and Jerry's ice cream from Walmart. And ate it. Lol. His mom's friend had a bunch of mormons at their house, and they were pretty cool.
Monday. I don't remember. I went to my classes. Went to work. Talked to Dr. Alerding. Dealt with a plagarism incident. Made phone calls at work. Went to the gym. I know my day was more exciting than this...I know it. sigh. I know! I took a giant shower and visited Jaime and Jess for a while that evening. Good times.
Tuesday. Slept through my only class of the day, which was career development. Shoot me. I watched Mark kick some Libery boys' asses, and it was great. I'm going to miss him when he graduates. I went for a bike ride along the James, lol, and biked 12 miles. My gears on my bike are all broken though as I discovered when trying to ride around Lynchburg. Bad news. Volunteered with the Yellow Branch Challengers softball team again. Yay. I got to be catcher. Went to the Christian bookstore and bought the first issue of this awesome Christian manga called Serenity. it's kinda corny but cute, too.
Travis came by. We got Dairy Queen ice cream and stayed up until 3 am talking. We played frisbee, too. That's now a really bizarre situation because I think we're back in a relationship, but it seems like it'll be much better this time. Yeah that'll be fun to explain to everyone.
Today I went to classes. BSed my way through an oral test in french, listened to speeches in comm, and listened (or slept) through Dr. Alerding's lecture. Went to the writing center and then to lab. Picked wildflowers. Took a nap. Felt sick. I got my period yesterday and it's really messed up. It makes me sad inside. Visited Dr. Todd to ask about my grade in her class, and I could possibly pull off an A-!!!!!!!!!!!! Took another nap. Had veggie lasagna for dinner. Made phone calls. Drove around Lynchburg. Got on the radio while telling a prom story about Glenn, lol. Went to the gym like I now do every day. Went to MSF. Got sugar free fruit punch at westover. came back here, read serenity.
And now I have homework and am really stressed and I want to crawl into a hole.

So I've had a stressed past couple of days. I went to the gym on Monday night and ended up coming back here, exhaused, and going to sleep, without finishing my research project.
The Worst Part? I woke up at 11:30, missing class altogether. This is bad news, since I don't know how many classes I've missed. Hopefully not too many...but anyway. I went to my meeting with Bev Reid (my career development teacher) and she was pretty excited. She was moved by my personal career plan, oddly enough. She was like "I love your enthusiasm!" And it was great. I went to lunch. Had Crunch Berries cereal. Turned in my Abstract to Dr. Alerding, and then discussed with Larry to see if we had a test in New Testament that day. Thank God we didn't, yay. So I typed up the discussions part of my lab report, handed that in too, and then chilled in Centennial with Kelly and Brandon, reading Galatians for class.
Grant was 15 minutes late and we were all dodging out when he came in...blah. Talked about Galatians by breaking off into groups, having each group take a section and then presenting it.
Sat outside of the library for a while, talking to Jenn Hatton, Mark, Scott, Alisha about life. Then I went to dinner and then to volunteer with the Yellow Branch Challengers Softball team. They're a softball team for the mentally challenged, and it was a lot of fun just being there, helping them out and watching them play. I stuck primarily with this lady named Kim. She never said a word to me (or anyone for that matter), but I still loved her to death. I helped her around the bases, and even helped her catch a ball. It was awesome.
I came back, went to the gym, and then got an Expresso Cappuchino (with skim milk) and stayed up until 4am writing that paper.
I woke up at seven and it was still unfinished. Damn. I got up and got a well needed shower and had breakfast. Went to French, fell asleep. Went to comm, got bored to death. Figured out that my GPA will be quite disgusting this semester. Went to biology...damn that was awkward. Dr. Alerding was like, on the verge of tears and she yelled at us and wow...umm...I was pretty speechless. Went to lunch and then to lab...lab was okay though. The photosynthesis experiment itself was pretty lame, but Kelly and I also got to do this pigment thing, and that came out pretty awesome.
Talked to Dr. A for a few minutes and then headed back to the room to write my resume for my Career Development class, and then worked on my paper for english. Went to the Science Gang lecture about college lake, where I sat with Jess and Justin. Justin seemed pretty perturbed by me, sigh...oh well. I slept during the lecture...went to dinner with Rad and Taranee. Went to work, made phone calls, went to the gym, got some more expresso, and then came back here to finish my paper.
I turned it in this morning. Thank God. I have to go to the library in a bit for my english class so that we can start on Research Project 2. Actually though, I'm pretty excited because we have to research about a career that we want to pursue. Awesome. Last night I was looking at stuff about technical and medical writing, and it looks pretty exciting.
Anyway, it's naptime, so ciao!<b

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want to Have Fun |
] |
Ahhh so last night I got all depressed, ate some sugar free jello, and slept. From 8-4:15am.
Then it took me 45 minutes to wake up. And I did, studyied some biology, and went back to bed. Woke up to Lauren at 9am. Ran to class.
We got to listen to songs of our choice in Argument and Reasoning today. I chose Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" lol... then I went and failed my biology test. Blah.
Had lunch with Rad and Rene, and ended up discussing the test with them as well as our other bio friends. Went back to my room for a while. Came back, talked to Alex, and then I get a HUGE surprise hug from Brian. That was a surprise, he's usually not a happy person. But it was cool to see him happy and all.
Went to work, gave a late tour (grrrr) and ended up over at Hobbs at 3, worked on my abstract, and all. Talked to Dr. Alerding for a little bit...but then went back to work on some bio lab stuff...and then Dr. Schuppin grabbed me and was like "Come talk to the pathologist!" So I did...lol there was a pathologist visiting and all, it was cool. Yay, but then Dr. A called me and I flipped.
I was like "OMGosh you left school didn't you! I didnt get to turn my work in to you!" and she was like "it's okay, just put it under my door." and then she asked about the test and all. It was bizarre. Hahaha my biology professor calls me.
Had dinner with J-pride, it was good times except Jess and Jaime were sick :(
Currently talking to Haoie ^_^ !!!!! And then going to the gym.

Wilson Phillips - Hold On |
] |
I think I just ate the most balanced diet ever today!!!!
Breakfast: One bowl of "Sugar Frosted Flakes" (hahaha go generic cereal)
Lunch: A ham and turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on wheat bread with light mayo. Also, some cantelope, two strawberries, and half an apple.
Snack: Some dry frosted flakes
Dinner: Some spaghetti with three swedish meatballs (I couldn't resist) with carrots and mixed veggies with some light strawberry cheesecake yogurt.
...yay! Hahaha.
Oh goodness, I can't even start talking about today without touching on yesterday. I had to wake up early for Open House, and it was blah. My families were really lame and talked to each other and on their cell phones whilst I tried to talk to them. So afterwards I ate lunch with Sammi, Rachel, Kelly, and Jenn (from work) and then I took a nap. Wrote a rough draft to my english paper. Got super stressed and ate 1/4-1/2 a box of frosted flakes. Showered. Made a WalMart run.
Went to Sarah Rose's birthday party, which was held at Apt 21. When I got there, it was just the boys and Britni. I ended up hanging out with Britni and Kenny for a while, singing songs and having fun. Then the party started...oh it was so much fun!
I had three jello shooters and some sips of everyone else's alcohol. Hahaha some funny moments:
-Having jello shooters with "Tiffany"
-The ESA Triangle of Happiness!! (Me, Rachel, and Kelly. Oh man was Rachel freaked out!)
-Singing around the piano and watching Britni give Sarah a lap dance
-Taranee's first alcohol experience
-Taking massive pictures of everyone and thing
Hahahahaha
I'm looking at pictures that Mike, Lauren's manfriend, took, and it's hilarious.
So then everntually people were leaving, and then I left with Ally and David Hodges and walked over to the Sigma Pi house. David was an alum that was visiting, and so when we got to Sigma Pi, we danced, and it was a blast. We met up with Mike Applegate there, and hung out. We all eventually walked back sometime between 2:30-3 and I got blankets and "Toasted Oats" (generic cheerios) from my room and we walked over to Tate and sat in the stairwell for a while, talking. Yay. Haha we got cheerios everywhere.
"But that's okay because we weren't eating Cheerios, we were eating Toasted Oats!"
I stayed in Ally's room for the night. Woke up, went to Peakland UMC for Palm Sunday Service, and it was nice...but their choir performed parts from "Messiah" and wow, so long...
Came back, had the best sandwich for lunch ever, and then took a nap and went to the Palm Sunday service here, and it was fun. I helped out with a reading and we got to make Palm crosses, yay!
Had dinner with Jared and friends, and now I'm back here, studying biology...

[Saturday

Ahh, the joys of sitting naked in one's dorm room.
Today was a pretty good day. Had my typical classes, french, communications, and biology. Nothing particularly interesting to note about the three, except that in biology we briefly discussed the reproductive system in humans.
Which makes me wonder...since I get my period every 35-42 days (versus normal people who get it every 28) does it mean that I have less eggs, or that I'm going to have periods until I'm 55? I mean, theoretically, when a person is malnourished, stressed, or intensively exercising, a person doesn't have a period because their body wouldn't be able to carry an egg, so the body saves it. Is that why I get my period less, to save my eggs for as long as possible? Eh...anyway...
Went to lunch. Had crab, mashed potatoes, carrotts, and broccoli. It was so good...I ended up going to the gym later, which then I got a massive stomachache and headache...causing me to fall asleep during RA training and feeling miserable.
Went to dinner and then relay for life. Turns out that I'm still allergic to mid atlantic seafood. Surprise? So I could eat crab in Viet Nam, but not here. It's so lame. Anyway...
Relay for Life was awesome! I ended up walking around a bunch with everyone from ESA and roasting marshmallows with Ben and Erin. I hung out with Dana and Rad a lot, too. In the middle of it, there was a massive thunderstorm/tornado, so we had to evacuate to Centennial, where we sat around and watched Saw. Scary so scary...I screamed and shouted obscenities. Then we went back outside...where I started to feel sick, so I came back to the room to grab some meds.
I quickly checked my email, where I had received one from Dr. Alerding saying that she had graded our papers, so I quickly went to grab mine...and she was still in her office, lol. I talked to her for a few minutes before going back outside. I walked around more, and had a slice of pizza and the best McDonald's hamburger in my entire life!!!! Rachel Safren, Sammi, Erin, and I all agreed (and maybe Rachel Cook, too?) Yum. Had some bread, too, and ended up smuggling some bagels for Dr. A (cuz I'm a loser.) So I briefly revisited her and then hung out with Dana and Rad. We got to sing karaoke. I went with a large group and did the YMCA song. And then we played Singled Out! I came in SECOND PLACE!!!! I was soooo close to winning the date!!!! Blah. Oh well.
Alpha Chi Omega did a dance thing, too, which was cool. But it was so great to be with friends. Kelly, Amy, Leslie, Rosalind, and Amy's friend Sara were all there, too! Oh and I walked with Meghan a bit, too! Good times.
So I came back, talked to Jill for a while, and now I'm here. I may be up for a while...blah. I need to clean plus finish an english paper rough draft by 5pm tomorrow. Yayness. And then Sarah Rose's birthday party! (Reminder to get/find camera...)

Today was such an exciting day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't go to any of my 3 classes today. Say what? Okay, so I didn't have English because of my conference on tuesday, so I woke up early this morning to write my new testament paper. Because I was busy writing, I skipped my 11:30 class (career development) which we didn't have anyway, lol, because today and tuesday we have conference appts with Ms. Reid (mine's tuesday.) So I went to Work and then to New Test. And guess what! We got to hand in our papers and leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was working on my paper for career class in a breakout room when a girl asked if she could use my room, strangely enough. So I let her use the computer whilst I read the school newspaper. Strange yes. I ran into Lizzie and Jared, and Brian and Mark (my most favourite old guys ever!) And then I went and bothered Dr. Alerding with biology questions.
I got to meet her least favourite person in the world today. And learn a little about her stepson, Johnny. Hahaha so she was making copies and this person (who i'm keeping nameless) came in, and I was like "hi!" and she stared at me and was like "hi." And then I was like "I'm Laura Bianca, it's nice to meet you." and she introduced herself, looked at Dr. A funny, and didn't say anything else...it was so awkward and weird. Dr. A was soooo pissed, I thought she'd explode. She basically despises this person because she claims that this person is the reason that she didn't get the job. Or maybe Dr. Alerding...it's because you're a plant biologist, and not an animal one?
So I corrected Dr. Alerding the other day on a mistake she made on a slide. I felt so bad, I mean, she's really trying. I just don't think she's cut out to do animal biology. Silly canadian.
So I ran into Jill and we layed in the grass and it was so much fun! We talked and then realized that Jill went hard core over on her phone bill...which is really bad news. I'm praying that she doesn't get into too much trouble.
I then went to westover for dinner with the ESA crew, and then I went to a BSA meeting. For you non burgians, BSA is the black student association meeting. It actually was fun, the people were all really nice. I went for an assignment for my RA training. Basically, I'm suppose to attend an event that I'd never go to. I then went to centennial to see The Commitments which is an irish movie (in the thursday film series!) and it was pretty good. At least the half of it that I saw was...
Walked with Josh and Kenny towards the gym, and then I went and worked out. It was fun. Now I'm making a wal mart run to grab some jello, some conditioner, some semi permanent hair dye (for when I have to go home so my hair can be a semi normal color) and to drop off my 4 rolls of film. Yayness.<br

Nine Black Alps - Everything Is |
] |
cookies...oh the joys of peanut butter cookie crisp cereal!!!!
Yesterday (tuesday) was a good day. I had a conference with my english professor in the morning, and it went very well. We figured out exactly what it is that I'm writing about for my research paper after all...how sexual differentiation, darwinism, and character influenced clothing in the 1890's. Blah, I really dislike my topic (why did I choose this anyway?) But at least weeks worth of work will be finished on tuesday.
Went to Westover for some cereal and yogurt. Ate with my ESA friends - Kelly, Susan, Jess Slater, Jess Brown, and Dela, as well as Susan's friend Kelly, Morgan, and Adrian. Had 11:30 class for career development...lol that lasted 15 minutes. Went to lunch, took a nap, and visited Anne Gibbons.
Man that went...well? She doesn't think anything's up with me. Hmmm, I wonder why.
"So why did you want to come talk to me?"
"I...don't...know....."
It flows so naturally with Dr. Alerding, it's indescribable. I didn't intentionally start going to Anne A. with my problems, it just happened. Now with Anne G...I just couldn't open up. I told her that I had a sleep problem but was still truckin through. So, of course, she was like "oh wow, you've got your act together." And I told her that I had a spiritual problem, but that the day before, everything went well (with the sunset thing) So blah!!!!
I ended up telling Dr. Alerding about it today, and she was like "She doesn't get it does she? Did you tell her why you talk to me?"
"No...." and well, that's because there is no answer to that question. I started talking to Anne because of a speeding ticket that I received in November. I don't know how or why it evolved from there. I didn't start talking to Anne because of the sleep problem; I think I confided in her because she was totally third party in my life and she was a scientist and all. Plus, she was pretty cool, pretty easy to talk to. I talk to Anne because she's my professor and friend, I guess. I don't know why I keep coming back. Sure, she'll be gone in about a month, but that doesn't bother me. I had explained to her that these people come and go in my life, and I see it as a blessing. Well, kind of, I mean, I didn't explain the blessing thing. That'll come in a few weeks time.
There's so much that I want to tell her and so little time. She doesn't know much at all about my life, really. But yet, she knows a lot more than most people. I opened up to her, and I don't know why. I guess she's pretty special to me. Like Paul Gant. Why did I open up to him? It all started with a term paper in 11th grade, and then it progressed.
I think I have these strange relationships with people because I don't really talk to my family. This is my subconscious alternative, I suppose.
Anyway, I was talking about my yesterday. I then went to the modern language resource center, and then to religion, where I slept. Nay. I hate sleeping in class. Afterwards, I ended up taking a nap, grabbing dinner and going to work. I finished my phone calls for the week, yay!
Then was the housing lottery. I went in a group with Jill, Jess, and Jaime. We were called 33rd. Regardless, we got Tate 226! And Jess and Jaime are in 224, yay!!!!! I went with Jess afterwards to check out my room, lol, and gratefully enough, I knew the girl who was in there now, Megan, so she didn't find it too too weird that we asked to see our future room, lol.
Came back, did homework, slept.
Woke up, went to french. Did my oral test, yay! Went to communications where I was super obnoxious during our discussion today. Gosh I'm a moron. Let's forget that that happened...came back to the room, then went to biology.
I had "untoasted toast" for breakfast and it was soooooooooo good.
HAHAHA Justin Recklau was answering all of the questions, so Dr. A was like "Maybe Justin can help you all before the next test! Justin, do you live on campus?"
and then i answered "He's an RA on First Floor McWane!"
and then I was called a stalker, lol, and everyone in the class laughed. I almost peed myself because it's true! However, I'm an innocent stalker. I just retain information well. I only knew where he lived because i've been to his room before.
I went to lunch, had a salad, and then went to lab. Lab was...lame. Although I did get to graph my results for the plant lab and then talk to Dr. Alerding about...biology...lol. And then she asked about the Anne Gibbons thing (see above.) And then her husband, John, came by...and I proceeded to scare the poor guy, lol. He's really short, 48, dyed black hair (oh its so obvious, lol) but they are such a cute couple. They've been married since November 2004. Now isn't that ironic, they've been married almost as long as my father and Laura Lee have been together. SKETCH...
Went to Dr. Gayle's talk and it was AWESOME. Gosh I want to be a missionary doctor. It looks so awesome. Dr. Gayle's awesome. Yay for...awesomeness? I sat with Ana, Jennifer, Brandy, Taranee, and Jill. Yay. Ana and I hung around so she could tell Dr. A about her blood drive experience today, and I proceeded to talk to everyone. I don't think John Alerding really likes me...he seemed terrified when I was like "BYE!!!!!!!!" Really loud and jumpy and all. Hahahaha.
Went to PASS for biology and then to the gym with Ana. Afterwards I went to Methodist Student Fellowship and then came back here, where I've talked to Haoie up until now. Boy I've missed that boy...the sweetest kiwi ever. So now I have to finish my homework, lol.
