Who are they anyway? ;

So, another week has gone by. I have to say it was one of the longest weeks of my life. But I made it through. & it wasn't nearly as painful as it could have been. In just 16 short hours I'll be on my way back home. To my love & my best friend. & I know my parents are pretty excited to see me, too. I'll admit it's always good to see them.

I just got back from the gym with Miss Ashly Cartner. I'm glad she goes with me. I'd be a disgusting person if I didn't go "workout" every once in a while. Lord only knows when I'll actually change my eating habits. Haha. I'm sure you know how that goes.

I have a few things I need to do tonight. The dishes for one. And some math work. & some reading for Education. I also have to come up with a few questions to ask Mr. Turner tomorrow. I have to interview a music teacher for my Music Education class. It's due Wednesday. I figured since I was coming home this weekend I would ask Mr. Turner for a face-to-face correspondence. Lucky for me, he's available after school tomorrow. It's been too long since I've seen him anyway.

I decided to not go to my math class in the morning. For one thing, I could really use the extra sleep. And secondly, going to every single class at this point is really kind of pointless. He is teaching at a really slow pace. Everything runs together in a way that if you miss a lesson, the concepts will be reviewed and used in the next one. Not to mention it's real easy stuff. So I made an executive decision: No math for me tomorrow.

However, I honestly feel bad about missing class. You don't have to believe me. But it's true. I feel like I've been a pretty good student this semester.

Tomorrow is month number eighteen for Jared and I. That adds up to a year and a half. And that doesn't even count the year we spent in limbo. I really don't know where all the time has gone. It's crazy how you can be so into someone that the time you spend together is never enough. I've been hung on this boy for two and a half years and just seeing his name still gives me butterflies. I never could have imagined it to be this way. & I never want anything else. This is it for me. The ridiculous part is that it's only going to get better. I know because everytime I tell myself that it can't get any more amazing, it does.

Love. I read somewhere that it should have more letters. I agree. It's the greatest. There is nothing more than love. Just four little words that mean absolutely everything.

I should probably get to work before I get the desire to do nothing at all. I can feel it coming on already. Haha.

I cannot wait for this weekend. The escape is long over due.

I think I made You too small, I never feared You at all;

Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be.
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees.



Well, howdy! I know, it has been entirely too long since I've updated. But I just started a new semester. Give me a break, okay?

Anyway, I'm staying in Rock Hill this weekend. Yay? That's possible. I have plans with people. And homework & praciticing to do. Which means I have much time to be sitting & thinking about home. That really is the key to not missing home so much: staying busy. Although, I like down time. I can live without too much of it.

I just got a text from my dad. We don't have to sell his car. Which is awesome because that means I get to keep driving my jeep. :) I was going to severely miss that thing if I had to give it up. But God provides.

We also get to go to Disney. I am so extrememly excited. Especially since Jared is going with us. It really can't get much better than that. Every since I've been into boys I had been awaiting the day when I could go to Disney and experience it all with the man I loved. & now it's finally happening. In just 109 days. Yes, I have already started the countdown. :)

I heard a rumor that season ten of American Idol will be the last season ever. This is kind of sad to me because I was planning on trying out after I graduate. You know, just for the experience. & to see if I really am good enough to make it. If I really want to to do that this summer is my last chance, apparently. I haven't made my decision yet. & what if I do tryout & I do make it to Hollywood? What then? I can't just take a semester off from school. I don't know yet. I just don't know.

Amanda & I are gonna start tanning on Monday. Boy, am I excited about that! I feel so disgusting. Haha. Well, it's not that bad. I just like tanning. It makes me a lot happier about my skin. It's darker & smoother & just all around better. I started working out again this week, too. I should do that as often as possible. Because it makes me feel really great.

I feel like I'm doing a lot better this semester than last semester which is good for my confidence, I reckon. I feel more on top of things, if you know what I mean.

At any rate, it's almost one & I'm starting to get pretty hungry. So the plan for now is to get my lazy butt up and fix myself something to eat. I'll probably watch some Lost. Or the episode of Heroes from Monday night that I haven't watched...

I hope you all have a great weekend!
:)

The best things in life just can't be done alone;

Well, I reckon this is the very first post of 2010. What took me so long? I don't know, I guess I was just busy. I went to the mountains this past week with some amazing people. I had an incredible time & it was probably the best idea I've had in a really long time. Haha. It's so nice to get away like that. And with all the snow & the mountain scenery it was just like a far away land. I could have sworn as soon as we left my house on Monday morning that we just stepped through a portal & left reality behind entirely. Vacations are quite awesome. It makes me excited about going to Disney in May. I need to get through this semester first before I can do that, however. Haha.

Speaking of this semester, I really don't think it's going to be so bad. I know it's going to take a good bit of focus & self discipline on my part. And that's something that I'm not going to be able to do on my own. But now that I know the power of prayer from experience, all of that focus & self discipline is simply a prayer away. It's good to know that I'm not doing this alone. There's no way I could get through it otherwise. At least, I wouldn't be a happy person. & I truly live for that amazing joy that God gives me on a daily basis. It wouldn't feel like living without it.

At any rate, I know this is short. But I felt like I owed one since it's been a week or so. I need to call Jared to wake him up. I'm supposed to be going to watch Heroes in like 45 minutes. Which means I should also get ready.

Hopefully it won't be forever until I get another chance to update. Until then, have a good one! :)
