It has been terribly long, and I apologize. The week went fast because of my illness. It took over our week and before we knew it, Anna and I were off to home once more. I've been really happy though because I've been doing well on all my homework assignments and such, and it feels really nice to not be doing bad in college.
The weekend was good. It's always good. It is getting tiring to drive back and forth though. Like I love the time with Anna, and I love the result of the drive (HOME/FRIENDS) but it's 6 hours in a weekend. Plus on Friday I drove up to St. John's to pick up Jake with Adam and Nathan. It was a good drive because I was uber hyper and I love them all so yah, but I was tired of driving. Jake gave us a tour of his campus, showed us the relic in the basement (cReEpY), and we also got to meet some of his friends. It's a gorgeous campus, and i'll have to visit the school in the daytime. So after our beautiful tour, we ended up at Schony's house! I love that place a lot because they have a nice fireplace area, and if you get cold they have a nicely furnished basement. There's pool, fooseball, and a huge couch where many can sit and converse. All my friends were there too (minus some of the best...you know who you are) I lost in pool, lost in fooseball, lost in life...ya know. HAha. No, but I enjoyed myself. Justin and Molly ended up showing up, and she wanted me to come with them to get her back to 55 and such. So I got my car (with a lot of work to get it out of the garage..oh man, rock on Justin) and we got Molly to 55, and I dropped of Justin. I was going that way anyway because I needed to get my stuff out of Natrop's car, but I ended up sitting in Justin's driveway for an hour! Good talk, it really was. Finally around three, I got home... big mistake. I had to be up at 8:00 for my parade...
It was a long day, but it was very enjoyable! I had Jake Barnes and John Patnode on my float with the other girls, and it worked out so well. We dressed up as flappers and they had a trumpet and trombone and we all kinda danced to "all that jazz" from the Chicago Movie/Broadway show. The crowd LOVED us! They got so into it, which made us feed on their actions, and by the end of the parade, the boys were so into it! John, if you deny it, well...your lying. lol. Jake seemed to be enthused the whole time, so I never worried about him. We also got 3rd place for the costume/float contest thing. Bravo to us! The day ended up lasting from 8:00 AM (when I got up and showered) to 9:30 PM (when we finally left). It was tiring to the max, but even after the long day, I ended up at Natrop's again. Some went to Applebee's, but the rest got the idea of making pancakes and watching a movie. So Lee, Rachel, and I made the pancakes, Adam made the juice, Nathan... found us bacon we never ate, and Kara...slept. Haha. It was nice though. We all had a great time and ended up watching the moive "Robots" Not I, Robot, but the cartoon thing. I fell asleep, but Lee made sure to wake me up at what he called the "funny part". It was amusing though...they made fun of Britney Spears. Then I got really super giggly...it was like I was drunk, but not! I get high on life...
Sunday was spent with my mom gettin a new cell phone! it's sooo cute (it's like Karrah Anderson's cell phone! yayayay!) I showed Lee a picture of it. He thought it was "hot". Haha. But then Joe Knapp, one of my most favorite people ever, was having difficulties on the computer, so my mom went over there! It was funny.... he spent three hours trying to do something, and I did it in five minutes. The family is computer illiterate, but that just gives me an excuse to see them. It was really fun to be with them and my mom! I like my mom bonding with people I love. Good evening. Then I had to drive back to this hole of a town. No, I do like the town, just not as much as home.
I planned out my life today with my Academic Advisor. It was kinda scary to really think about all this. I have a sheet next to me as I speak that has every semester until graduation basically figured out for my Major and some internships thrown in there too. Can we say STRESSFUL?!?! But I'm gonna shrug it off for now. I used to think I was good with the future stuff, but it really scares me. And I don't really need to think about it now do I? At least I know what my major and minor are. At least I know I want to be an author/journalist. I'm a step ahead a few, so I find I have time to breath...right?
Well anyway, tonight was Halloween so I got to hand out candy to adorable little kids. Our school set up this thing where parents can bring their kids here and certain rooms can sign up to give candy if they want, and so we did, and we got over 100 kids! They were so precious, I wanted to just keep some of them. Too bad I couldn't take pictures. =( parents probably woulda been scared...so I refrained! Yep..... that's my life in a the smallest nutshell I could deliver it in. I will write more often so these "blogs" aren't so flipping long! We'll see.
Sister In Christ,
Amy <3
I did smile. We had Trick or Treaters too. Though they were not little kids. They were drunk college studnets! Haha. It really was too bad about the bacon.
