Whose Life is it anyway?

hey guys. It's me. Glad to see you again. Agree? yep. Me too.

I feel kind of sad that I post less frequently in the past. I'm not sure what it means. My writing has not slowed, not by any means, but maybe it is I lost my vision of my blog. Ha. Is it just for meaningful and sporatic spurts of thought or is it a day to day planner that I share with everyone online? Is it for the enjoyment of the reader or simply for myself to learn and grow and to understand my own actions? who knows. I'm tinkering with it. We'll see. But no worries, I will continue to write because it's what I do best. That and I where my heart on my sleeve and must be open about myself!

So life had been great. I've really enjoyed it (minus some fallbacks) and I'm really glad that my classes are for my major/minor. I've complained about my creative writing class, which indeed it is rather mundane (read book, go over chapter in class, take notes, do a writing excercise out of the book, repeate) but when I'm on my own, when I'm doing my free writes, when I'm findin little sections in the book that make me more knowledgeable as a writer, that's when I learn. not in class that's for sure. But it still helps me. And I guess that's the point of the class right? I do however have to start journaling for the radio/newspaper which is a little bit more tricky. I think i'm just nervous because I haven't done it in so long and I fear I've lost my skill. And I probably have, but I just have to be perserverant and pick it up again. I think I can do it. woo!

I have Amanda Johnson's wedding this weekend, and as much as I didn't wanna go, it turned out to be awesome. It was really great to see her and I got to meet her husband for more than five minutes. He's a good guy and will treat her well and that's all that matters. My kindergarten teacher was also there and I could not believe it! Amanda didn't even know she was coming; she was a guest of someone else!! I talked to her for about fifteen minutes or so, and she said she remembered me!!! I dunno, she is an awesome lady and it makes me happy to go back to my childhood. Anyway, the dance was great, and watching Justin and Zach on the dance floor... well.... there's nothing else like it! Also Jen/Andrew/Keaters/her bf/Laura/Med/Kyle/Sam/Anna/John/Derrick were all there as well. I haven't seen derrick in a long time so that was good, and the rest, well we just had a good time laughing and dancing and eating and ah! Basically we all ended up dancing from 7:30-midnightish. My feet hurt in the morning! Laura also slept over which is always a little blessing!! She's back in Nebrasak now and I am sad, but I'll see her again!

Saturday was work and HOMECOMING!!! (Yes! it was Bethel Homecoming all week and we had Cheer Offs, Tug-of-wards, Car crams, relays, ect. I had so much fun I couldn't contain myself!) I met up with Alison, Kara, Erica, Justin, Joe, Zach, Charis, and Rachel. We beat Carelton 42-21 (talk about a bad game!) I have fun because Joe kept telling me what was going on, and I was taking a bunch of pictures with the girls and I just loooovee football. And I actually know a thing or two about it! Who knew?! lol. AFter that I hung out with Erica and Zach the rest of the night. WE had girly night him and he picked the movie, I did his nails (just buffed them and lotioned them... lol) and gave him a bag massage. I mean really he won in this situation. =) we also had a really good conversation about relationships and God and religions, and I dunno, it was something that was good for me. Then I had to bring him home and we tried to have an adventure, but we failed. But next time.... we did however run into Med and Kyle when we got his car from Justin's and talked to them for a while. Then I ended up in Buffalo with him to watch a movie but really it turned out that we talked to his mom til 2:30 and went to sleep!! I had a lot of fun with him!

Sunday was church (amazing by the way!! Opendoor.com.... listen to it!) and then I got lunch/breakfast/brunch?? with Jen, Adam, Marlise, Nick, and Kara! It was wonderful to see everyone, especially my mar mar!!! Then I did homework, blah blah blah, and went to Vespers and got to see Nate and Sarah and Justin and Kara! Ahhh vespers. It's been a little off lately which I'm kind of disappointed about, but it'll pick up again. It's the beginning of the year.

Ok, i've once again typed your ear off. yes, it is possible. who knew!! I shall go! Have a wonderful week all and I will try to write more!
