Love, Book of Job, and everything else...

2005-09-06T11:37:00.000-07:00

Hey babes!

Today is Tuesday and I'm back from Six Flags. My roomate somehow got me to go on things I never would have even thought of going on. But I learned to conquer my fear of heights! (Okay, maybe not completely conquer, but just temporarily overcome). So far I am loving college. I haven't made too many friends yet to be quite honest, but I do have an awesome roomate and I have the cutest boyfriend- (Weird how that works huh? No friends but a boyfriend lol). I do really miss all of my friends from Cresco, and I know I will find some people here to confide in, but honestly, it's just not the the same at all. So more about this boyfriend. Hmmm, his name is Aaron and he is wonderful! He's completely different from all the assholes I've dated. He's older which is a huge plus in my book, and he makes me forget about everything crapy. We went to go see "The 40 year old virgin" the other night and it was hilarious! It was my pick so I was hoping it would be good. Tonight he is picking me up at 8 or so....(It sucks not having a car here of my own!). N e who- he's lovely :)
I just got done reading the book of Job for my theology class. I read that directly after I read Plato's version of Socrates' Apology. For those of you who have not had the great pleasure of reading those to pieces of whatever they are....all they are, are pages and pages of the same repeated crap from the page before it! Ick. That's all I have to say about that. On a more optimistic note, today at 1:00 I have my imaginative writing class. I love that class- of course! But then I have that stupid art class, which I never intend on using anyways. But I suppose I shoud let you all go so I can paint my toes and do my hair! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Packing day =(

2005-08-20T19:57:00.000-07:00

Today is the day I pack up all my stuff for college. In this short amount of time, I have to decide what things I feel I will need for a year. I dont know, but I feel extremely overwhelmed at the moment. I went school shopping yesterday with some friends and got some very nice purchases. Including $80 in underwear....hehe. Besides the usual pairs of pants and cute tops, I managed to buy myself something I think I will need going to an all girls catholic college...a vibrator. It's this way cute little bunny rabbit, oh yeah, and it's pink! And let me tell you...it gets the job done. Ne who, Kari, Britney, Megan, Kyle, Nick, and myself all had some good old fun last night at the figure 8 races. Nick and Britney got a little too close during that stupid movie and me and kari cried the whole way home. I can't believe she's gone. Oh well, we all plan on coming back for homecoming in October. Well I think I will get back to packing and all that jazz. See you guys later!

First time blogger

2005-08-17T15:50:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! This is my official first blog ever. So, I guess I'd better make it good huh? I figured it'd be a neat way of keeping all my friends in tune with what I'm doing my first year of college. Yes, I will be a college freshman on August 29th. I am attending Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (It's an all girls catholic college). Ne who, I'm experiencing the normal emotions that go along with moving away to a bigger city. For those of you who don't know, I currently live in small town Iowa. It's an ittby bitty town no bigger than any other ghost town you may see in an old western. Yeah, you're right, it DOES suck. Big time. Therefore, I am destined to leave this hell hole and make something of myself. So in the next few days I am packing up all things and heading for bigger and better things. What am I going into you ask? English. I've never been able to balance a chemical equation, multiply numbers, but I can write. Weird huh? lol. Truth is, I've had some kick ass teachers and they've inspired me to become a teacher. Something about writing just clicks with me. I hope I do okay in college. I hope to forget everything about Iowa. It's not all that bad of a place, but Milwaukee should be so much better!
So as I keep blabbing on and on, I should let you know about myself. I am 18, have lived in Iowa most of my life, and am really into everything. I'm not really one of those people who LOVES life, but I do to an extent lol. I mean, come on, imagine growing up in a 300 population town...you would be easily entertained too. I like movies, books, music (all kinds), and yes, I have a slight britney spears obession. However, it's nothing to be worried about. My favorite movies are Fight Club and Good Will Hunting. I'm always up for a good time. I like people with a sense of humor!
I work at a nursing home...and I secretly love it. You learn so much about life and love and loss when you work with dying people. I dont want to sound corny, but it's super true. Ne who, I have to take some residents to a dance tonight so I had better start getting ready. Thanks so much for reading what I had to say today. I look foward to reading your blogs and comments. Thanks!
