First Times are Always Scary

Hello-
I do not think I have ever written in a blog. Unless you count myspace. Actually I did have a blog once, I made it when I was 13 or so and on vacation with my cousin K. We spent so many valuable hours in that library with our new found invention, The Blog. That was when blogging was just heating up, those were the days...ha. Anyway here I am 6 years later starting from the top, take two. I was inspired to write this by Kate Zimmerman and an episode of House. Also today I decided I needed to keep writing, for fun. Being a college English major gives you plenty of opportunities to write, but not with the kind of attitude that will keep it in the pro category of my life. I have decided I need to let the fun of writing flow over me again.

Also I think I'll let my mom know about this blog (lame right? haha) that way she knows a way to keep in touch with me even if I forget to call. Of course Ill have to censor what I write then ;)

Well here we go:
Today I realized I have WAY too much to get done before Easter break and started to panic a little. I have four classes through out the week and right now I have a large project due in everyone before break, which is only a week and a few days away. So I skipped IOC (speech) a useless class, and got to work on getting shit done. I put a pretty good dent in it I think. I am done with my speech outline, thanks to my mom's great idea of doing it on the lack of a Women's ski jump in the Olympics (thanks mom).

Oh something I am excited about this week is the prank paper our college is putting out for April Fool's Day. I got assigned to do a story about the bell tower. In my story the bell tower is unstable and that is why you are not supposed to walk under it. And in order to get it fixed/find the money the president of the college is letting Taco Bell sponsor it. They will get to put a big Taco Bell logo on the tower and they will help the school fund the repairs! Awesome huh?

Also I am, unless something terrible happens, for sure transferring next year. It is the place I've been talking about moving to for a few months now. I am kinda excited but also scared. My life will be so different. But I think for the better. It was a mistake to go so far away I think. I made so many great connections in high school, no reason to throw them all away. I think I felt like leaving was something I had to do. Maybe it was, and I did it and now I am ready to come back.

Alot has happened in this school year. I have learned to be alone again. I went off my pills for the first time since I was 12. I met amazing people (Kate), and was introduced to an area I used to think was black and now see as gray (Jake), like so many issues have become to me lately. I have lost and reconnected with people dear to me. I have discovered some bonds are stronger than I would have thought (Cole) and some need and deserve more energy than I have given them (Maggie). I have a closer, more open relationship with my parents then I ever have before, and most of all I have discovered I am not stupid, I can handle college.

Thats all for now, for at least awhile I assume I will be doing this quite alot,
