Tweet and her name is Beth! Funny how sometimes you find friends when you were least expecting it and from places you were least expecting them to come. But after a three hour chat over coffee I realized God had this planned from the start. He knew I needed someone with whom I could share a common background and a common lifestyle. He also knew I needed someone who was a bit further ahead to give me hope that I can do this. I have to say watching and listening to her talk motivated a lot! And on the same note, gave a safe place I could say, “Yeah, this…

Tweet So I have been contemplating blog posts for several days now. I have sat down a few different times and attempted to write something, but the words don’t come and I usually end up erasing whatever I wrote and moving on to checking my e-mail and then find something else to do. I have so many thoughts in my head, but I am not sure which ones will come out in an understandable fashion. I decided over break I am very impatient. I am always looking on to the next point in life instead of enjoying the one I am in. Which is a very dangerous thing to do.…

Tweet I am going back to work…I don’t want to..I have no desire to put on my hat and apron and stand behind a counter for four hours smiling and taking people’s orders. I don’t know why I was so excited about going back..but I am dragging my feet utterly disgusted that I have to go. I don’t know why I hate to work so much. But I think it is more the people there..granted, I love my bosses..but I stand around for hours and hour not talking to anyone but the customers that come and go every few minutes..there is no communication between my co-workers and I. And for…

Tweet I miss writing on this..for so long I was so scared of who read this that I stopped writing my thoughts down..but I am going back..I know I’m a dork:) I think music sometimes is the best way to express life and I am not ready to spill all my thoughts just yet..but I love this song…take a moment to ponder it..:) I will write more later..when I feel like bearing the pages of my life. Staring at the blank page before youOpen up the dirty windowLet the sun illuminate the words that you could not findReaching for something in the distanceSo close you can almost taste itRelease your…

Tweet I had a crazy busy week..I hardly had time to talk to my parents, much less anyone else. I spent 14 hours studying and worked and did sorority stuff and managed to sleep a little in there too. Needless to say, it was a stressful week that sadly, isn’t going to get any less stressful until Thanksgiving break. But one of my best friends from back home called last night and told me that her and our friend Angela are coming to see me! Now you must understand..these two girls are my lifeline..(well, maybe it isn’t quite that bad..but it’s close) I love them with everything in me and…

And I get to sleep in tomorrow and I get a home-cooked meal tomorrow night which I am so excited about!! Let’s see…I can’t think of much else..I will write more later when I feel inspired:) hee hee..

Tweet Drills and SpillsAs cheerleaders fly higher, injury rates rise and some falls are crippling, even fatal. New rules could help. By Arian Campo-FloresNewsweekIt was a dream come true for Ashley Burns when the lithe 14-year-old with the blue-ribboned ponytail and squeaky voice learned in July that she’d landed a cherished spot on the varsity cheerleading squad at Medford Vocational-Technical High School in Massachusetts. To celebrate, she and a friend got pedicures and tooled around town in a convertible blasting their favorite tunes. One week after joining the team, Burns was at practice, preparing to perform a stunt called a “double down.” Held aloft by four cheerleaders gripping one of…

Tweet I am coming home this weekend! And I can’t wait! Everyday down is one less till I get to be back with my friends and family! And it’s Angela’s birthday which makes it extra special! I love you girly! But back to Spanish..just thought I’d let ya all know! Amanda

Tweet yes..even at a dry campus you still run into drunk roommates..although of the three drunk people that slept in our room last night, only one of them actually lived there. The other two aren’t quite sure how they ended up there. I was on my way to bed and all of a sudden my friend Jacob shows up with my roommate and our friend–both of them too drunk to walk straight. Then around 2:30 my other friend shows up and has no idea where they are or how they got there. So a broken towel bar, some spilled make-up, several sessions of putting them in bed, and a few…

Tweet I am so excited–it’s 3:00 on Friday and I am done for the week! All my roommates are gone which kinda stinks, but I am going to to to bed early tonight. I am exhausted.. and I have so much to write about..but so many different people read this and for fear of offending anyone I am just going to keep my mouth shut and perhaps start a new blog..well, maybe not..but it does stink to not be able to write on my own blog..although, I hate it when people write on their blog instead of talking to people so I don’t want to be lumped into that category.…
