OK, so everyone changed rooms on my hall. Here's how it goes.

There are eight rooms on my end of the hall. Five of them have people moving out.

It started with Kim. She got sick of her roommate, and decided to move upstairs. Then, the girl across the hall from me decided that she, too, was moving upstairs, for some odd reason. So her roommate begged and pleaded with my roommate to move in with her, and my roommate conceded. I was left without a roommate. So Veronica is moving in with me, and Tomoko is moving in with Veronica's old roommate (Tomoko was looking for someone to room with anyway, so this worked out very well for her). And Tomoko's old roommate, Favi, gets someone new to live with her. And we're all happy.

Old room arrangement:

Christy and Terri
Favi and Tomoko
Janalyn and Edith
Veronica and Emily
Amy and Kim

New room arrangement:

Christy and Veronica
Edith and Terri
Favi and someone new
Tomoko and Emily
Amy and someone new


So basically, we only had two people leave, and the rest of us all moved in with each other. We have ten happy people, and it works out really well.

Let's see, what have I been doing lately. I got in a car accident over Thanksgiving (which I will write about later), I have been studying for exams, I'm hanging out with people a lot, and I am so excited about Christmas!!! And going home. That's what I'm really looking forward to. Four months away from home is a lot. I didn't even get to visit. But now I get to go home, get my job back, have fun, and see all my old friends. I am so excited! I really can't wait. My aunt is flying in from california, and I get to see her too. I am so looking forward to it, I can't wait. I really am excited. :)

By the way, God really protected me in that car accident. It was crazy. I should be dead, and so should the other people that were there. But we are all alive, and on our way to recovery. So God protected us there. I'm learning to live differently. Appreciate every moment, treat people differently, be careful, and don't abandon things that are important to you. I realized that I don't know how much longer I'll be here. Death could come at any time, and I have to live for every moment, and not be afraid of what could happen. I'm really not afraid anymore. That's a brave statement, but it's true. Now that I've seen what it's like, I'm really not that scared. I could have died in that accident, and it really wouldn't have bothered me. I don't have a life to live, that is too important to me to abandon it. I used to think that I had all these things to do, that I had to do, and I couldn't die too young because I had to graduate from college and get married and all of that. But now I realized, it's really not that important. There is life and then eternity, and things that happen now don't really make a difference in the long run. At least that's how it seems right now. That's why I haven't felt motivated to go to any of my classes at all, and hang out with friends, and I stopped running this week.

So yeah, that's what's been going on with me. I hope I'll be more normal next week, during exams, and then I get to go home. That's exciting.

I had a great night tonight. Me and Amy listened to loud music and talked and drove around and watched a movie. It was great. Made me happy.
I have listened to nothing but rap music for a year. Rap and Christian. Then tonight I listened to the Offspring and realized what I'd been missing. It's good music. When middle-aged men are still together in a band, it is either because they have no other job, or they are incredibly good. This band is good.
Anyway, that's about all for now. That was today. Maybe tomorrow will be different and more interesting.

Until then,

Christy

Well, my dorm room looks really nice, cute, etc. It's all set up now. You can see the sunrise from the room. It's really cool. I am in pajama pants and a Tee-shirt, standard college girl attire, and am up at 1 in the morning. Now the question is, will I go to class in this outfit. There are some really nice girls on my hall, and I'm getting to know them really well. It's fun. We had a little dance party, and shared pictures, and leave notes on each other's door, on the whiteboards we provided. They have cute little magnets on them. One girl drew a cow on her friends door, and wrote "Heiferville" or something like that on it. Her friend said that was going too far, and she erased the message and left the cow. It related to a previous conversation we'd had, about a lady that the first girl had seen working in Wal-mart, who had said it in reference to rich girls. She had a redneck accent, and was rather heavy herself, so it didn't really make sense. The girl in my dorm joked about getting a degree as "Greeter, small-town Wal-marts." We have fun times late at night. And yes, it always goes late. Makes getting up hard, but it's fun. My roommate is cool, and I like her too. We have the same interests and stuff. Anyway, I'm going to bed, goodnight.

Moving In [13 Aug 2005|10:14pm]
Moving into a dorm is fun. I met the girls across the hall, met my roommate, got all unpacked, and said goodbye to my family. I am excited. It's a new stage of my life. Time to meet people, learn, get settled, and ultimately, live independently.

Hey Lee!

I'm doing really well. I thought I'd send an update email, just to tell you how I'm doing. Oh, by the way, I got your "Week E" email, and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying camp, and having a good time! And getting valuable leadership skills as well, I'm sure. I know you like it there, and I'm glad you've found some work that you enjoy, and that is a valuable investment in people's lives.

My job is going really well. I'm making a lot of money, and getting good office experience, and even going the extra mile (which could lead to commissions and bonuses!). I'm doing receptionist work, I don't know if you remember, but so far, I have cleaned out a refridgerator, organized a kitchen and a file closet, cleaned out and filed three years' worth of papers (they were all in a box), and done stuff like that. It's good work.
Also, I found out who my roommate is! I have yet to call her, but it is really exciting. I'm ready to go. I can't wait.

I promised to finish the fourth of July story. Here's how it went. I went to Kristyn's house, and we had a cookout and watched fireworks (the big ones you buy in south carolina- they're illegal here). Her neighbors had them. We watched them a little too close for comfort, but they were nice, and no accidents. Then, we shot off a flare, and nearly caught her neighbor's cornfield on fire. It landed in the cornfield, and we saw this red glow for a little while, and we were kind of worried for a second. But the fire went out, and it was all good. It sounds really dangerous, but I'm not an arsonist, I promise. And believe it or not, her grandparents were the ones that shot off the flares. So, after that, they shot them off in the grass where nothing could catch on fire. After that, the show was over, and I left and went back home with my other friend, Tess. I dropped Tess off, and headed home. It was a good evening.

So good, in fact, that we got together again that thursday, and watched four movies and had a sleepover. It was great. I had to get up and get changed for work in the morning, but that was ok too. I stopped by my house, and went straight to work.

I don't think I've even been in my house much lately. It's like I don't even live there any more. I have a bedroom there, but that's about to change. I go out every Sunday night with my friends, I'm at work all day, and I have Tuesday morning childcare and Wednesday night Bible study. It's getting kind of tight. I'm going to miss my Mom and Dad and Stephen, but I'm ready to go. Ready to move out. It's sad, but relieving at the same time. Scary because of the new responsibilities, but exciting because of the possibilities. I'm ready to go.

Three more weeks to go. I can't wait. That's how long I have to get my new room in order, and pack everything, and leave from everything I know to go to a new place. I'll see if I can talk to my roommate and get themed decor, or something. It's a girl thing, to coordinate the bedding and the curtains and the pillows and the accessories. You can decorate it by theme (ex: surf), or by color (ex: blue), or by motif (ex: stripes). It's a lot to think about. Mom wants me to buy a lot of my stuff there, so we don't have to carry it all the way across the country. She said, "I'm sure they have a Wal-Mart."

Anyway, that's about all with me, keep me posted on how you're doing! I'll see you later!

Sincerely,

CLB

OK, so I went a little crazy on the yearbook entry. To be honest, I wasn't that angry. It's just thinking of the future and of college, and of those late-night social times and yearbook sharing things (like at summer camp), when people say, "Can I see your yearbook?" And they'll look at it and say, "What's this?" It's happened to me before. We had really good picture quality, and a good year summary, and all that. But there were some things that were inexcusible. For example, having drawn-in cartoon pictures of seniors that didn't have pictures. And the senior page background should have gotten a second look and maybe a redo, too. Somebody goofed.

This was the year that I wanted to have a really good yearbook. And this year was the worst one yet. No offense to everyone that worked on it, but overall, that was the impression I got. Individual pages were fine. But as a whole, it just didn't work out.

Dental Work [16 Jun 2005|12:30pm]
I finished having my mouth worked on. Fillings are so much better than they used to be. I felt no pain whatsoever. Well, except when they stuck the needle under my gums. But that didn't hurt so bad either. They'd already numbed me some. And I am still numb. I can't feel my mouth, and I can't talk. But overall, I am feeling fine.

I can't believe it. Tomorrow is the last day. Ever.

The last Day I go to high school. After that, life is changed. I miss it. Yet, I am ready to move on. School is wearing me down, with all the work, but how can I live without these people I have befriended over the last four years?

I will miss all of them so much. You guys, who all read this, keep in touch.

Parties over the summer, the familiar faces, jobs, books, experiences, life, laughing, it all comes together into this one thing that is four years' experience. How can I walk away.

I hope it's a good road ahead of me. God is in control.

The Luau [21 May 2005|04:12pm]
I went to the school-hosted Luau again this year. Last year there was a whole list of guys I danced with, but this year there was only one. It was all good though, because he happened to be extremely hot. Here's how it happened:

I went to the Luau. I got there fashionably late, because I had chilled all afternoon, and because I knew that things don't really start until 30 minutes after they're supposed to. So, I walked in, and almost hurt myself doing so, because I slipped in one of the puddles that the rain had left. But I caught myself, and didn't fall, and no one really saw it. So it wasn’t that bad.
I gave my ticket to the girl at the door, and walked around to see who was there, and how many people had come. It was pretty crowded, and the part of the building they had chosen to put the DJ in had terrible acoustics, so that with everyone talking and running around, and the music in the background, it was pretty loud. People were just standing around talking, because the dance hadn't really started yet. I put my stuff down by the door, with everyone else's, and after coming back to the dance floor, was immediately was targeted by the usual suspects, Carey and Casey (both are guys). Although I will say, Carey has is becoming a very nice, outgoing person, instead of a shy little kid. So talking to Carey was nice. Casey was nice too, but I knew he was just looking for someone to hang out all night with, and I just wasn’t interested. I kind of avoided him, and headed over to the drink table, because I didn't want to dehydrate during the dance (like Becca Feiner did a few years ago, and then sat in the bathroom sick while her friend danced with her crush- but that's a different story). Anyway, I was loading up on water, when Jeremy Waters and his brother walked by, decked out in full grass skirt outfits and bikini coconut tops, with leis included. I couldn’t help but laugh. I knew they had come simply for attention’s sake. I was drinking my water, and walked by James Realon, and since I was just standing around, we started talking. He told me how he was thinking about leaving, because he was hungry and needed something to eat, and they didn’t have anything here. He hadn’t eaten supper, assuming refreshments would be provided. Knowing that this guy was capable of eating an entire turkey by himself, I felt sorry for him. he must have been starving.

Yearbook [19 May 2005|04:44pm]
I'm going to rant about our yearbooks. We got ours today. They are an absolute joke. For the senior pages, which I'm featured on, they used preschool-like blocks of primary colors for the background, and it stands out glaringly, and takes away from the pictures. And for people that didn't have pictures, they have drawn in cartoons that were done in photoshop. And the picture company used the wrong picture of me on the senior pages. It looks fine and good, but it's not the one I asked for.
It's like someone didn't take it seriously. This was something I took seriously, and they goofed. Senior yearbooks are supposed to be special, and ours was a joke. It was a bit lacking on the content section, too.

I'm embarassed to show this to people. I might just tell them I didn't get a yearbook. This is horrible.

It is going to rain buckets. The humidity alone tells you that. And so does the weather forecast.

I hope the little league game goes well this afternoon. My brother's team has done really well this year.

I look good when I look in the mirror. For the first time in a long time.

It's hot and humid and oppressive. I hope the rain feels good and takes this weather away. I want it to be hot.

Graduation is very soon. I had to miss 3 graduation parties. Maybe I'll go to some more this summer.

Summer job. Is not going well. I haven't gotten any callbacks.

Graduation presents are pouring in. Woot Woot! Most are in the form of money.

That's all for now; More later.

It's so ironic [15 May 2005|03:24pm]
So, I was reading this thing on fad diets, and how they're unhealthy, because they leave out psychological aspects and so forth, as I sat and polished off my cheesecake at my computer. I read it out of curiosity, and then I thought, how is it that I can eat a whole bunch of cheesecake, and stay thin, while some people eat broccoli, and get fat. Maybe it's metabolism, and exercise, and age and heredity all of that. Who knows.

It's ironic. Kind of like when we were talking to the people who had just moved here from Kansas, told them that we don't get a lot of tornados, and then it starts pouring outside. It's so ironic.

"You don't have your homework again?"
"Nope."
"I'd like to see you after class"
"OK"

"We've been doing confidence intervals for two weeks. Why don't you get it?"
"I have to prioritize my classes."
"You're saying you just didn't do it?"
"Yeah." "Look, I have ten other exams besides this one. I have other things I need to study for. This class just isn't that important. I could probably get it if I wanted to, but, I just don't."
"You're saying you didn't study."
"Basically, yeah."

This conversation wasn't real, but it will be if things continue at their current rate. I have way too much work. Too much work for anybody. But at least I'm trying.
And in other news, I have four weeks of school left. Ever. I'm done. Except for college. But never mind that.

I'm done. Forever.

I had no idea that when I went upstairs to say prayers, I wouldn't be down for almost an hour and a half. My friend Dawn called. I had told her I needed to talk to her, and she remembered. She talked about college, and I talked about what I had wanted to talk about in the first place. It was great. She is such a great friend.

I've been thinking a lot lately. I had to; it was kind of thrown at me. I found out that what I really wanted, or what I thought I wanted, was not what I wanted at all. I've been looking all over the place, when what I really wanted to find was right under my nose. I just didn't see it. Or didn't want to. I had based it all on something superficial.

There is an old entry in my journal, called "What I want." It's made so that only I can read it. It was where I laid out everything that I wanted, about guys that liked me for me, and a stable life and all of that. And it turns out, what I thought I didn't want, matches every criteria I set forward in that journal entry. How funny.

Update [24 Mar 2005|08:17pm]
[ music | "Girls" by Destiny's Child ]

I am here again. I am here because it is spring break. Otherwise, I would be in school. I am at home, not in Florida like my friend Alexa was (she's back now), or in Myrtle Beach like Ashley. I am having fun, sleeping in, hanging out, and doing art. I have already been bowling, and I might go skating later, whenever I call Kristyn about it. Good news: Kristyn is back! My favorite friend from long ago. She's back! This means more hang-out time, and someone to talk to. More updates later.

It's been awhile since I updated [16 Mar 2005|01:23am]
I was mistaken in my last post. I AM actually living for spring break. It's not like I can do anything, since I'm grounded, but maybe I can talk to some people on the phone and do some art. And watch TV. And stuff I don't nrmally get to do. It'll be fun. I'm not going anywhere, except for the mountains for a few days, to visit my great-grandparents and great-uncle. Talk about a good location for a house. It's gorgeous up there. In the winter it's kinda cold, but hey, that's what you get with a good location.
Let's talk about the beach. I wanted to go, but dad said it owould be too cold. I'm not so sure, but whatever. It's college week at just about every beach on the east coast, since most of them have that week as spring break. I can wait to go to the beach. Wait until warmer weather.

holla! I have been gone for a while. What have I done in that time? Let's see. I went to winter formal. Below is what Bethany had to say about it:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/myweatherby/43307.html#cutid1

I had fun at the dance. One of these days I will get pictures online, and when I do, I will get them all over my journal and it will be great. Someone once asked me, am I looking forward to spring break? And I said, yes, but I'm really looking forward to graduation. And they said that's funny, they would be looking forward to spring break. But, spring break will be fun. We're going to the mountains, to visit my great-grandparents, and then I'm trying to convince my dad to take everyone to the beach afterwards. He says it will be cold. I disagree.

What else is going on? It's little league season! which means I get to help with my brother's team. They're fun, and they're old enough this year to actually be playing baseball. Which means no more coach-pitch, which means a much higher likelihood of getting hit.

More later. And when I say 'been gone,' I mean from the blog, not from my home or life.

Yesterday, Paul Jackson died. I had mentioned the Jacksons in a previous entry, when I talked about the girl in my church whose dad was dying.

They were expecting him to pass away, but that doesn't take away from the hurt or the pain or the sorrow that you feel after he's gone. It wasn't sudden, but it is still very difficult.

Paul Jackson, we'll miss you. I know you're with God now.

Reason to go to school [02 Feb 2005|01:57am]
I have a new reason to go to school, and study hard. Of course, I already had a reason, which was to go to college and succeed and do well, but now I have even more of a reason. I'll write more about it when I'm not tired.

I admit, I don't do what I should all the time, in that I waste time instead of doing homework, or miss assignments or whatever. But I don't skip school. I want to learn and do well. I really do. And now I value it even more.

My Art homework [20 Jan 2005|10:56pm]
[ mood | lethargic ]

Artists in the video


I really enjoyed the video, and I liked learning about the artists and the way they view life, and translate it into their work. I thought that the artists that invoked the strongest feelings spirituality in their work were James Turrell, Shahzia Sikander, and John Feodorov. James Turrell did an excellent job of brining the sky closer to people with his planetarium-like enclosures, and star viewing areas. Shahzia Sikander had a wonderful personal and cultural commentary in her art, and chose to illustrate her religion and her civilization’s history in her work. John Feodorov also made works that corresponded to his culture.
The wall of light that James Turrell created enabled him to invoke spiritual feelings, because of the color and space that was left open. The viewer could walk in, and suddenly they were surrounded by a colorful piece of artwork. Also, his sky-viewing buildings that he constructed brought the viewer closer to the cosmos, and allow them to think about things like time, space, and who they are in relation to the universe. The fact that the buildings were constructed like calendars helped with this concept.
I liked the use of cultural and religious heritage in the artwork of Shahzia Sikander and John Feodorov. The works were educational, and were nice to look at, and in the case of Feodorov, interactive. This meant that a person could experience the culture portrayed in the artwork, and learn something about it. It could mean something to them, as well as the artist.
I think that art that is representational can invoke a spiritual mood very well. It can give you something concrete to look at and think about. However, the work of James Turrell was abstract, and very much invoked a spiritual mood. In the Sky buildings, there was no representational work at all; he was simply framing the cosmos. I thought this was very effective.
Ann Hamilton made use of space to construct separate rooms for the viewer to feel different moods in. I like this concept, because it can isolate moods and feelings and let the viewer deal with them. However, I like James Turrell’s use of space better, because he allows the viewer to experience everything at once, and sort it out themselves. His space leaves the viewer alone, to figure out who they are and what is around them. Ann Hamilton’s room with the sand and the Braille, however, made very good use of space. The viewer would have to go around the room to take in the full meaning of the artwork, and would have to look at it and figure out what it means.
I found this video to be very informative and educational. I liked it a lot, and I learned how to relate art to the audience, and how to use various media and personal experience together to mean something to the viewer.

I would post all of the questions I got wrong on the AP Government midterm, and my corrections for them. Unfortunately, I had it in table format, and I can't paste it in the journal because it comes up unformatted, and I missed so many questions that it is impractical to type them. Blah. It was good stuff to read in your bored time.

Learn something new. The House of Reps. has the power to determine who will be president if no candidate gets a majority of the electoral votes. A criticism of the current primary system is that minorities are not represented at Party nomination conventions. The “Pluralist” theory of American democracy contends that a small number of elites compete for power. And lastly, the internet transformed American journalism by building a bridge between voters and political activists.

I missed all of those. Now, I know. Now that I corrected them, I am prepared for the real AP test.

Right.

Impact [09 Jan 2005|12:17am]
This is a song that had an impacton me, that made an impression when I listened to it. I thought that it was just another Avril song, that it was to a guy or her friend or something. Then I read on the album cover, "Dedicated in loving memory to my grandfather."

This one is really different. It reminded me of my family and things I have been thinking about.


Slipped Away
by Avril Lavigne

Album : Under My Skin


Na na, na nana na na

I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same, oh

Na na,
na nana na na

I didn't get around to kiss you,
goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again,
I know that I can't,

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day, you, slipped away
Was the day I found
it won't be the same, ooh

I have had my wake up
Won't you wake up.
I keep asking why.
I can't take it
It wasn't fake.
It happened you passed by.

Now your gone
now your gone
There you go
There you go
Somewere I can't bring you back
Now your're gone
now your're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewere your not coming back

The day, you, slipped away
Was the day I found
it won't be the same,
No, the day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, oh

Na na, na nana na na
I miss you

The Avril Saga [08 Jan 2005|11:51pm]
I managed to get my hands on an Avril CD. Here's how it happened. First of all, I had never really heard any of her music. I had heard people talk, and always assumed it would be bad, but I never really knew. Then, I had this school project, in one of my art classes. Our assignment was to listen to a CD, and create images for the cover, inside booklet, etc., based on the music. We were to work in groups to do this.

My group was at a stalemate when it came to deciding which music to do. We went to CDUniverse.com to pick an artist, and were turning up nobody. The guidelines were that the music had to be school-appropriate, which automatically ruled out Eminem and Tupac, the musicians that the guy in my group wanted to do. Finally, after several suggestions and no decisions, the girl in my group said "Look, I have an Avril Lavigne CD at home. Why don't we do that." I said fine; that sounded great. The guy in my group had already said he didn't care.
So we did an Avril CD. My assignment was to take it home, put it into the computer, and get it into the MP3 player so we could listen to it in class.

Of course, I listened to it. It was very much better than I expected. There were several songs that I heard that really had an impact on me. Not to say that I like Avril's image very much, but I have a new respect for her music.

it's December again. I'm excited. Winter is here, which means snow and skiing. And youth groups and hot chocolate. And school. I am excited.

I was thinking about my problems, when I realized, I don't have any problems. Not really. I have everything I need. I don't see it enough to be content. I thought about the girl I know, whose family I am so close to, whose dad is dying. I don't have problems like that. I am so thankful for what I have.

I just found out that I would weigh 15.66 pounds if I were on earth's moon. Rock on.
