crafty

everyone has been talking about their new apartments, and all the fun new things they have planned for it. since i'm staying in the same place this year, and don't feel like spending a ton of money on new things when my old things are perfectly fine, i figured i could spruce the place up a bit with fun little things. that being said, ive been making a few crafts for my "new" room.

this first craft is going to be hung on the wall above my bed, and was actually really fun and inexpensive to make. however, by the end i was thankful that my name is rather short.

finally an update.

the last few weeks of the semester were a lot of fun, and i was sad to see summer come. now that i'm back in vb, however, i'm starting to get excited about the next few months. theres nothing like time with your best friends, and even though julie will be in fredericksburg for the next month, i'm really excited about spending time with lex katelyn and colin. jordan is coming back from afghanastan for 2 weeks next month, and i'm looking forward to seeing him too, as well as all my other friends who live here.

i'm completely and utterly broke, but i'm getting by and i know i'll start making money soon and will hopefully be able to afford the new computer that i desperately need.

i have a feeling that this summer is going to be really good for me.

the only thing you should fear is fear itself.

new beginings.

spring will officially be here tomorrow, and i could not be more excited.
actually, the past few days have been really nice and i've been keeping busy and playing outside.

i stopped taking my adderall a couple of weeks ago ago, after ash matt and casey all said it makes me snappy. since then, i've been lazier in my school work and eating more than i should,
BUT i've been a lot happier and i've been a lot more out-going and fun.

anyway, i've been looking forward to the warm weather all year, and its here.
i'm not going to sit around and be lazy anymore.
go outside and come play!

adapt. outlast. adapt. outlast. at last. the end.

so i guess its been a while.

this semester has been super so far, but lately i've had a few not so fun days. and i think it has a lot to do with the cold depressing weather. some days i just don't feel like hanging out with my friends. and instead, i'd rather just lie around the apartment and hang out by myself. i need to get over that and start being social again. there have been so many days where i've had potential plans and have bailed because i just didnt feel like doing anything. and i hope those friends havent taken it personally, because i love all my friends, i've just been going through some weird times lately.

on a brighter note, i had an amazing valentines day =] i've been hanging out with evan a lot and he always makes me happy, no matter what else has been going on. in that aspect, i couldn't be happier and i'm excited to see where things go from here.

the past few days i've been in the mood to do something really exciting and adventurous. I dont really care what it is, as long as its something new and fun. I can't wait for spring and exploring, picnics, belle isle, ghost hunting, sidewalk chalk, running around and playing outside...and bike rides? In the mean-time, i hope to maybe make a trip to the science museum, play some fun games, meet some new friends, maybe step out of this box and try something new or something i wouldnt normally do. its been a while.

maybe all i need is a little push.

vcu

once again school has started, and here i am in richmond. tonight was my third night here, and i already like it better than tech...by far. i feel like this could actually be the place for me =]
the past few days have been pretty fun. looking back i can see how much happened in my life last year, and i'm excited to see whats in store for me this go around.

my apartment isn't completely put together yet, but these are some pictures of my room.

last summer.

in two days i'll be leaving for vcu. and i feel like this summer was ripped away from me. all year at tech i was looking forward to summer, and now its over. i was hoping it would be longer, and a little more like last summer, when every day was our day to hang out. any time. any place. we could pack up and go anywhere we wished, because none of us really had serious jobs or other commitments. and at the end of the summer, i wasn't so much looking forward to classes starting, but felt like i had sufficiently relaxed and was ready for something new.

this summer most of us had real jobs that required a lot of our time, and in order to hang out we had to compare detailed schedules and
make time. people change, and thats only natural, but those of us who kept in touch did so because we made the effort to. in a way it showed me who my real friends are...but at the same time i wish we were still younger with more time on our hands and less responsibility.

i guess this is what growing up is all about. yeah, we made more money and learned to really savor our days off and time spent together. unfortunately, i feel like i spent the whole summer working 3 jobs when i should have been relaxing a little more and spending a little more time with those who matter most to me.
