Your Skin And Bones Turn Into Something Beautiful

So I get to go home in a few more hours!!! I cannot wait to be back in Dallas! So today was a very lazy Monday, and it made me happy. Woke up around 10, and went to go take my Advertising test which I made an 85 on! Then met up with Brandon for lunch, and they didn't have the wrap line open, so we had cereal for lunch, and it was a sad experience. Went back to his room and I just layed there while he packed up his room. Then we went to Butcher Boy's and it was pretty much amazing. We went to Court's concert tonight which was fine. Now I'm just listening to Coldplay at 1:30 in the morning just chilling. Cannot believe this semester is almost over with! It's gone by way too fast. Which is a good and bad thing. :)

I Never Meant To Cause You Trouble

Life is complicated.

I miss simpler times when everything made sense and I never really had to think about things. But I guess that is part of growing up. It's scary to think about, but everything you do really does affect what happens in life. I just get thinking about things like that every once in awhile and it really starts to mess me up. I just wonder what would have happened if I had done things differently. Like if I had applied myself more back in high school, would I be at SFA right now? I doubt it. Not that I don't love SFA or think it's a bad school, but if I had graduated with a higher class rank I could be at a different school right now blogging about something entirely different and have a completely different group of friends. I can't imagine what life would be like without some of the people I know now. I also wonder if I had gotten better grades last semester and during high school and could actually save money if my parents would be proud of me. I know they say they are always proud of me, but I just feel like a disappointment sometimes. I don't mean to sound like a pity party, but no one reads this anyways so I just need to let out my emotions sometimes. Also, I wish certain people would realize how great they truly are. It's not like they have a case of low self-esteem, it's just....it seems like they don't think they are as awesome as they really are compared to others if that makes any sense at all? I just hate to see people I care about feel that way. I miss times with Diane that were so simple when we could just go to the mall and drink starbucks everyday and buy new shoes. i was just thinking about when we all went to go see The Fray the summer before college and makes me miss all that.

i can't wait for thanksgiving break to just relax and not have to worry about any of this.

You Found Me

So saw Twilight at midnight last night with Stevie and Brandon!!! It was pretty good, the beginning was a tad cheesy and funny, although I don't think it was supposed to be intentionally funny, but the second half was really good. They stayed true to the book for the most part, but it's understandable that they changed some things up in order to market it better.
You know, sometimes I don't understand why people are so down on themselves. And it's not like self-esteem down, it's like....the feeling of being unworthy or something like that. It makes me sad that certain people don't realize how great they really are.
This entry is going to be kind of random....I just have a lot of thoughts in my brain and I am going to type them out.

I love how music can just really hit you a certain way depending on what is going on in your life. It feels like I've really grown up in so many ways this semester. I realized a lot of things about myself, and what direction I want my life to go in and what standards I have for myself. I've realized what I want and what I don't want. I've also realized a lot about other people. But that is what college is all about. Last year I just had a bunch of fun and didn't really have to deal with anything too serious. But now I am really learning things about myself and figuring out who I really am.
I cannot wait to go home for Thanksgiving in a few days. Going home just once this semester has not been good. This is the first time in 19 years where I am actually excited about Thanksgiving. Usually it is my least favorite holiday because I just want to get to Christmas, but I really truly feel so thankful for everything and everyone that I have and cannot wait to celebrate. I can't wait to be back in Dallas and see all my family. It's going to be so great. Look next week for my special Thanksgiving post and what I'm thankful for, even though nobody but Jordan reads this anymore. haha. But that's cool, I can basically write whatever I want in here since I tell her everything anyways. lol.
So I'm not looking forward to waking up early tomorrow for the Sonic Carhop. Those two hours better go by fast.

Spaceman



















So this week has been very good. Today woke up at 10:30 and then went to Advertising. Found out we *might* not have to take our final, but it just depends on the test grades on Monday. Then went and had wraps with Brandon, then went back to my room and just watched television and listened to music before I went to work at 4:00. I finished up there around 7:00, and then hung with Brandon until me him and Jordan went to the cemetery so I could take some nighttime photography. We also stopped at downtown Nac, and I got some cool shots. Hopefully I get a good grade on this project.
So in 24 hours guess where I will be?! WATCHING TWILIGHT!!!! I CANNOT WAIT! It's going to be epic!!!!!!

Cause When You're Fifteen...

So this week has been really good so far. Today after I wrote the previous blog entry I went to digital photography and talked about our next assignment, which is Night Photography. So me and Jordan and Brandon are going to the cemetery tomorrow night so I can take pictures. I am so super excited, it's going to be a cool adventure! Then we did a mini little website thing of our pictures...here's the link to mine. Nothing much but I feel like posting it. haha.

Then I went to Copy Editing and found out I actually did well on the test/quiz from last week, and I am pretty sure I got an A on the style quiz we took today. And I actually answered stuff correctly in class, which usually never happens cause I hate that class. I usually just act like a smartass which is out of character for me, but he just makes it so hard because Dr. Mayer is an interesting little man. Then went to Cinema, and we watched I Am A Fugitive On A Chain Gang, and it was really good. Then we took a quiz and it was really really easy. If the final is like that I will be one happy woman. Then me and Jordan got some dinner, then I went to a social at Marble Slab and got sweet cream in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. Then I met up with Brandon and we went to Young Dems, and it was a really long meeting. And it was only a few of us, so it was alright actually but just real long. Then we walked to Mickey D's since Brandon was hungry, then hung in my room. And then Jordan came down and we recorded some videos, but youtube is being a little bitch so they won't show up. We will soon be famous youtube stars though. You just wait and see.

Are We Human, Or Are We Dancers

So there are these real addicting videos on youtube that Jordan showed me and now I am totally addicted to watching them and laughing really hard. That is why I didn't go to bed until 3 a.m. and overslept for my first class and am sitting in the UC blogging.
There's a bunch of tours going on in here. The kids look really young. I wonder if it's because I'm just getting older or if because they really are young haha it's probably a combination of both.
I really don't want to go to classes today. And I have to go to all three. Ohhh well.

We're All Yellow

So today was a really really good day. I went to bed last night at midnight. That is a record for earliness haha. Then I woke up at 9:30, got ready for the day and went up to Starbucks to get a peppermint hot chocolate and went to go change my second major to Photography. So I am now a Journalism/Photography major officially. Then I went to chill on my Mac until my Advertising class. Then found out we did awesome on our project in Advertising so that will majorly bring up my grade. Then I went to Pecan Park with Kevin and Jordan and had pizza and played at the park. It was fun times. Then we went to class to find out it was cancelled so we hung in the UC til my meeting at four. Then me and Jordan and Brandon had dindin at Stacey's and then went to the Wal. Then watched Heroes even though it really sucks. For the most part it was a good day except for a few details that will hopefully be done with by tomorrow. :)
