So. School rocked. College is so where I should have always been... at least, I think so thisss week.hahaaa. My Western Civ. teacher is a Queer from the U.K.(seriously), and he is HILARIOUS. Music Appreciation is gay... and easy... and I see B-RAD everyday- that rocks, cause he cracks me up. Math sucks, duh, and I think it will be a challenge, but a cute girl sits in front of me, and we enjoy conversing in between math problems :) and lets see... English 102, which Im in because I passed my AP English exam, is a HUGE disappointment. The teacher is mean and old and gripes all the time- we wont get along.
I got a job @ Gold's Gym. 3 days after I joined another gym. How annoying, yet soo exciting and satisfying! I'll be part of the public services deal where I get to stand outside of Walmart and WinnDixie in the sweltering heat and pass out flyers, smile at people, etc. I do that for half the time during the days when i work, then I go back to the gym, Where I will be trained by a mountain of muscle called a Personal Trainer...to become a Personal Trainer. EXCITEMENT.
Been on a couple dates, hung out with gooooooood friends...
Cooking my own food...
It's such an utter... surprise that decisions can be so hard and painful, you know? It's like... nothing is all that simple- anymore at least. I hate knowing that a choice I have to make effects those I love and care about, espeeeeccciaaalllyyyyy when I have some wanting this, and others wanting something different, and I have to choose, knowing everyone cant win. ugh.
Lose lose situation.
Anyways... Auburn is nice, no surprises, I'm sure it'll spice up a bit once school gets started. I'm trying to get a job a.s.a.p. so that I can actually NOT live off of dimes and nickels... so anyone who has any ideas or suggestions- I'm all yours!
I'm in HYT, but I'm headed back home tomorrow- which is my B'day, actually. Yip. eee...
So. I watched Moulin Rouge for the first time last week, in German, no less! I couldn't believe how wonderful that cheesy movie was. I loved it. The music was beautiful, the ending was down right heart breaking... and the Bohemian who was narcoleptic... priceless.
So I´m in Germany right? Having the time of my life, right? Seeing and doing more than I had expected when I left the States, right?
Right.
Now here i am, typing away on a European made keyboard, which has swapped the Y button with the Z button...very confusing for the first, oh, week and a half. the @ isnt in the same place either. Crazy Germans.
I´ve seen the American and Russian Embassies(is that spelled correctly?) and I´ve also seen the High Chancellor´s(their president´s title) House...Like the White House, except WAAAY more modern- high tech. Oh, and the German Parilament. BUEATIFUL.
I feel like I´ve been standing and walking and sleeping on history. Weird.
I´m coming home in a exactly 12 days. It´s not soon enough. I´m homesick a little, and I´m missing being able to carry on a conversation with multiple people without a translator... even if I am learning Duetsch very well. I´m dying to get moved into the trailer with Andrew, and I cant wait to get a job(preferably with Erica and Bradley and Ryan) and I´m stoked about school. Of course it´s intimidating, being out on my own for the first time, but I have a ton of wonderful friends including: Erica, Bradley, Andrew, Lynsey, Ryan, Rebeka(maybe there were 2 Bs...), Shellz, and a ton of friends that dont Church with us, but are still fantastically wonderful xD
Anyways... I´ve got a TON of things on my mind, but I didnt intend to write this short story...
I love you all, and I´ll be home soon.
CONGRATS, Lynsey!
HAPPY B´DAY, B-rad!
i'm glad you are having such a good time over there. i am insanely jealous of you. maybe by the next time i come to hueytown, you will be back. love you! ~m
So... It's done, it's over, I'm finished with the 1st large chapter of my life...the end of my next one is College Graduation, and the one after that is...well, Retirement.
Hmmm. I'm actually worn out. Suprising, I guess, since I usually feel like I can run for days non stop...but I'm completely, utterly exhausted.
I'm not freaked out about being graduated- I'm not completely off my 'rocker' about going to college and leaving Mommy and Daddy...but I am wary of it all. I realize much too late that after I thought that i knew everything, I actually dont know enough. I want to acheive great things. Amazing things. I want to change lives, I want to to create worlds that people can lose themselves in until the final page...and I'd like to know that I steered atleast on kid from a bad future. But there's a lot that I've yet to learn! SO very much!
Lots on my mind- much much more than I typically worry about...but I got it handled a day at a time, and my sleeves are rolled up.
NOW!
On June 23rd, I am leaving the United States, and will be entering the 'Smashing' island Country of England =) I'm going to stay with my Sissy and my beautiful niece for 3 weeks, then I'm going to go to Germany and visit Felix for a week. Once I'm finished up in Germany, I'm going Baaaack to England, scooping up my Sis, and we are going to travel Europe, Much like Lynsey. I'm breathless, even when I think about it. xD
I'm coming home on July 28th- then it's off to Auburn. And so it starts. =)
I love you all- I hope you have a wonderful summer.
