12:48a - Idea!
I had a very relaxing evening after my political science exam. I got to see my friend Kristen, who I've been hanging out with a lot this summer- I love that girl! She's younger than me, but really doesn't act her age one bit. (I definitely mean that as a compliment, too). We ended up going up to the ice cream place (Cobblestone? I don't remember the name... up on 23) with Jake, and just talked. That's the fun thing about hanging with the two of them- they both get along really well, and just talk about the most random things!
I got the new issue of Vanity Fair today... Prince William is adorning the cover in an awesome black and white pic. Unlike all the girls that are suddenly swooning over him, I have always liked Prince William... since like 2nd grade when I idolized Princess Diana and decided that I wanted to be her daughter-in-law. In fact, I've always been interested in the royal family of Britain and Monaco, and I'm really glad that they published an article on the royal families of Europe. Intriguing. :)
Well, I'm gonna head outta here. Just thought I'd drop a note since I'm going South tomorrow...yay. Finally home. :)

6:50p - Old friends, good times. :)
Last night as I was driving Kristen home, I was reflecting back to high school and thinking of my friends that I don't see anymore due to college. It's like a big fish pond- suddenly, one day, you're in it cluttered with all these other fish. Then suddenly, you graduate, and you're let out into the stream and you part in various directions.
Out of the blue, I sent an e-mail to one of my dear friends in high school. Mike was actually the one that got me interested in yearbook in sixth grade, and it continued throughout high school, and even into college. He really had me interested in graphics, communications, and thus, George Washington University. I will never forget visiting there my senior year of high school and hanging out with him on the campus. Then, though he wasn't at my high school anymore and we were miles apart, he knew me well enough to take me the places that I liked in DC to spark my interest in going there. After about two years, I feel a void of not staying in contact with some of my friends- especially ones that have impacted my life so much. Now it seems like we're eons apart.
Well, he's doing well. Living in DC, he's working on a bunch of freelance projects for law firms as well as some things in communications. Unfortunately, he doesn't make it back here enough to really visit- I'm hoping he might for the holidays. I'm also curious exactly what he's doing at his jobs because they sound quite interesting... More or less, it was just nice to hear from an old friend. :-)
Tomorrow I head South to see family. I'm really excited to horseback ride, shop, and spend quality time with friends and family that I hardly see. I feel like I'm going home. :-)
More later. Gots to pack!
current mood:  happy
current music: It's a Great Day- Travis Tritt (comment on this)
