so i guess i was so exhausted from being upset that i just fell asleep after i got in bed and started reading for homework because i completely just fell asleep. i woke up to my phone vibrating and greg asked me if it was okay if he came inside. i was so confused because i hadn't even realized i'd fallen asleep. part of me i'm pretty sure was still asleep, or at least thought i was dreaming until i felt his arms around me asking me if i felt okay and if i would like to go get some ice cream to make me feel better. he knew i was sad all day so it was really, really nice of him to try to make me feel better. i just wanted to curl up with him forever. even though i came home and ate dinner right away i didn't realize how hungry i was until i inhaled my ice cream cone. of course, now that i finally have lactaid i completely forget to take it. its not going to be good now but the cones were smaller so hopefully my stomach won't hurt too bad. i have so much to do and i haven't been feeling very motivated to do it, but maybe i can funnel my fear into some sort of ambition. when i was talking to jess today i just flat out told her "i know i could never love anyone with more of my heart than i love him." and she just looked at me and went "i know, and he feels the same way about you. i can just tell." she didn't have to agree with me to already convince me, i know every time he looks at me. i can feel it in my heart. its just so petrifying to even think that the possibility of losing something that has been so great for him, me, and us together could be lost. granted, education aside, that could happen anyway...but i guess the thoughts just hadn't crossed my mind and hit me in a really overwhelming way when they actually did. it was really thoughtful and nice for him to surprise me with ice cream. its little things like that that will make me smile for the next few weeks just remembering it. i can't wait until tomorrow, i feel like i'm starting to calm down a little bit. i just want my fear to subside. time to watch the debate, maybe i'll update later. ♥ a |

today i couldn't pick myself back up, from the second i woke up i just felt like crying. i almost did a few times throughout today. its strange, i haven't actually felt sad in so long. today i definitely couldn't help it. i need to just talk, but when? jess and i got really deep today after the guys left, we were both on the verge of tears talking to each other. its good to know that someone is willing to listen and even be prepared to skip their class if you still need to talk. of course we went to phillips because his class is sure to make us laugh, but it was the thought. i think i have a lot to write about, but i don't know where to write it down. i think i have a lot to say, i'm just waiting for someone to let me say it. ♥ a |

i feel like my blog titles have been sub-par lately. but i am, however, extremely exhausted. i wonder how many entries i have actually entitled "exhausted" probably close to ten i will guess. anyway, i had an extremely productive day. i got lots for my party (as i mentioned before) and i spent the entire day with my mom which was actually kind of nice. we got attitude from mcdonalds employees and i had a ridiculously hard bun on my chicken sandwich. we came home after shopping and made so much great food for me to take home to eat throughout the week. since its starting to get cold i cannot wait to dig into the crab soup and chicken noodle soup (that is outtt of this worlddd). today i just felt in a really good mood, my mom never went to college so she is really interested in the types of things i do at school. i enjoyed basically doing my homework with her because i actually got to teach her a lot of things and she loves poetry so it was awesome. anyway, i would write more but something smells like its burning so i gotta run and make sure my house isn't on fire. ♥ a |

so today began like most of my days, i wasn't quite sure where i'd end up in between waking up and falling asleep. it still seems strange to me how not too much of life is "planned" in college. anyway, greg called me to ask if i wanted to go get burgers at five guys with his parents for dinner and i was really excited because after a long day of homework and avoiding laundry i realized i didn't even eat all day and i was starving. my burger was excellent, as it always is from there. i sort of felt like a pig because yesterday i was really concerned with my weight and my diet but im trying my best to be conscious of my worry and not allow it to take over. sometimes you think everything is okay, then your mind slips up a little every now and then. it reminds me of what kim said to me on the very first day at evaluations "the only cure is learning to live with it." i remember thinking how that applied to so much more. anyway, once i realized i needed to stop worrying because i had a wonderful loving boyfriend who thinks i am beautiful no matter what and i was lucky enough to eat with his adorable parents i was fine. we went to party city to get a few things for my halloween party and look at costumes. i picked up a few things because i figured that if im going to be organized then i should just buy a little at a time that way it is easier on my paycheck and it will make me more excited when the time finally comes to know how hard i worked getting everything together. i finally, finally got my ipod afterwards! i looove it, the new black is gorgeous. its more like charcoal but i am just so glad that i finally got one! and really excited...i have been saving and wanting this for so long that it just makes me so happy that i have one now....which makes me feel a little stupid because i feel like everyone has an ipod and its no big deal. so anyway, marty was calling us all night and we kind of figured something was going on. greg said he sounded really depressed. he came down to towson and was staying at his grandfathers eating by himself. when greg asked him why he was there he said in case he had plans? so anyway, we just asked him to come hang out with us because we didn't want him to be alone and sad. we basically watched south park and looked at ridiculous halloween costumes online and did a tad bit of party planning. i finally decided exactly which costume im buying so i'm really excited now for that too. part of me is scared that i'm going to jinx myself and that no one is going to show up to my party...which would leave me and a bunch of food and decorations in a very pathetic picture. im gonna be optimistic though, everyone seems really excited and for some reason - everyone loves to dress up. im very tired at the moment and i probably have absolutely no reason to be, im going to take a huge guess and say its because i've been eating nothing but junk lately. maybe i need to make a trip up to my parents house tomorrow and not eat junk food? i don't know, i guess we'll see. i'm hoping that i can get all my homework for the week done tomorrow so i can work all day on monday. this week is going to be busy i can already tell. tuesday and thursday i have school all day, wednesday i have a meeting with the archivist and then candice and i are going to do some mad project work. on top of that, ill probably work all day friday. i'm not complaining, i like to have things that keep me busy. the only negative thing about this week is that there is no one tree hill, i have to wait until the following monday. i might be able to handle though because the show went from ironic to nuts in one season. the peyton/lucas wedding just needs to happen so i can stop watching the show and life feels like a happy ending. i feel happy now though, really happy. today i just kept noticing how well we fit together. goodnight, goodnight. ♥ a |

so today i woke up super early and then headed to work, where i stood for too many hours stuffing envelopes and carrying heavy stacks from one place to another...then sealed and stamped these hundreds of envelopes. thank you school of nursing? i guess everyone has to pay the bills somehow, i think im going to try to do that with another job though...i mean the only reason im keeping this right now is because i can go in whenever i want which is probably really bad for time management skills but amazing for my grades and wallet. i think i just miss interacting with customers. anyway, after work i came home and got a shower and greg came with me to my parents house for dinner where we met my brothers girlfriend. i thought she was really nice and adorable...and a whole lot taller than me. apparently she can play guitar really well which is so cool. anyway, greg k called us to ask us if we were going to brendans and i figured it would be okay to just go but every time we have gone over there before greg has gotten a text message or call from brendan and he really didn't feel right going over. i don't think it would have been a big deal at all because we are all too old for any sort of drama, and i don't think that would piss anyone off unless we were wrecking someone's house or stealing their beer and food. but regardless, i completely understand how he feels and i wasn't going to make him feel bad about trying to be polite. its sort of a good thing that we didn't go though because i have just been so tired this week and today i was ready to go to sleep at like five. we opted to go see nick & norah, it was actually a really refreshing movie. a few loose ends i would have loved for them to follow up on, but all in all - i liked it a lot. it was cute and fun. on the drive home i couldn't even talk because i was/am just so sleepy. i think when i reread this entry tomorrow morning maybe i will be motivated to plan out a better diet or maybe increase my pathetic mandatory workout. im pretty sure exercise is supposed to make you feel more energized in the long run? regardless, i would rather do that than just simply pumping myself with vitamin b and ending up losing more sleep than i wanted to. i think for the most part im on top of a lot of things, i have a lot of things around the house to get done, but its all things i always finished once i start. homework is going pretty well too (note to self: dont forget to do those fiction journals). i also don't want to forget to mention that i have been having a little bit of a writing breakthrough lately, i've decided that i can't just keep writing the opening scenes to stories - i actually have to finish a book soon. generally i wrote about what i wanted my life to be like for myself and other around me, but i am really happy so its hard for me. so i have taken on a new approach - write about my life with a literary twist to it (thus making it fiction) and/or write about my friends. all my friends are the best characters in the world because they are people and recognize themselves as such. oh my goodness well my eyes wont stop watering and i can't stop yawning so i better head off to bed. i hope everyone had a fun and safe night, maybe i can go out tomorrow??? i love you lots. ♥ a |

wow i am so tired!! i woke up early so that i could turn in an application to a teacher's mailbox and so i could get greg and i some bagels for breakfast (because the ones at school are a little dry) and had a veryyy long day. the other greg confirmed what dave said about my party. i believed it when jason and racquel told me because they were honestly just asking me like they had no idea, but i am really glad that they did ask. i mean i don't want to say dave told everyone i "combined" my party and moved it to his house because i don't want to believe that...but i mean from three people i didn't really have any other choice but to just sent out a facebook message letting everyone know it wasn't true. it sort of sucks because something i was really excited about started to turn sour...you have no idea how much i don't want any sort of drama to come out of this. i understand he wanted to throw mitch a birthday party, but mitch just kicks everyone out of their house. i doubt mitch wants a birthday party with anyone but his own friends. i mean its their business, i've got no room to talk about that half of the situation...but it just sort of hurt my feelings that i had good intentions and then this happened. so far its not a big deal, thank god...but if it does become a big deal i guess i will just have to cancel my party and suggest that people go to his if they want. i really don't want any kind of drama or fighting over something i was just trying to do for fun. i think part of all of my feelings about this is just disappointment because i wanted everything to go really smoothly, i had started to buy stuff already and i was thinking it would be nice for everyone to have a good time but not get ridiculously out of hand. no one has actually gotten ridiculously out of hand at my house before except for when lee, mike, and garrett were making themselves puke on my front lawn and they were running around screaming in my backyard....that was absolutely out of control. so anyway, i went to sam's benefit show for her invisible children chapter at school. it was absolutely amazing. they had such a good turnout of the people in their club and they were all actually really nice to greg and i and made small talk. it was great to see everyone come out for a cause. that adorable guy from uganda was sooooo effective, i was truly touched. i wished everyone would have been silent and heard him, he was so passionate. i was sooo proud of shu and sam because they got such a great response and everyone in their club was doing something to help out, not just standing there. im so glad we went and stayed for basically the whole time. however, i think both mine and greg's stomach was about to eat itself so we had to get to our cars and come home to eat! im super tired so i might actually crash really soon. lots of love, ♥ a |

its already october?! seriously?! nuts. last night i went to bed ridiculously early, i think my bed is resting itself for this book im about to write. its going to be a little intense because its the first good idea i've had that will go on for more than 20 pages in awhile. since i went to bed so early my mom swears that i'm sick she refuses to tell me that there is work so i have an unexpected day off. this is fine with me because it means my stuff can sit there until friday and i can have a full day then. i think im meeting my brother's new girlfriend. its been like a week since they have been dating and he's apparently already obsessed and really wants greg to meet her...so i'm just gonna tell myself he wants me to meet her too. so friday should be an interesting day. anyway i have a lot to do, somehow i got all these free weeks of tanning, i wish i had time to use them. however, i'm a little scared to put my skin through any of that at the moment. i just hate the paleness. i need to go get a shower and run all my errands today. there has to be about four loads of laundry i have to get done. why is my new washing machine not here yet?!! soon, i hope. ♥ a ps: sorry i didn't come last night sam! i hope it was fun, let me know how it went! |

i need to remember to update my blog for my art class a lot because i really dont wanna get a bad grade for not remembering to copy and paste these entries. anyway, i've been up since six. im glad i went into work early today because we finished up relatively early. i had lunch with greg, it was nice. i hate mondays. i never want to leave. i like it when he tells me my hair smells like apples, because now i wont change my shampoo. im really tired and might need a nap. i have a lot of homework to get done this evening. it'll be worth it because one tree hill is on. i put a map of the cape fear coast in my room, just for motivation. oh, and last night i had a really nice time just talking to some of my friends. its good to know that friendships haven't faded. ♥ a |

seems somebody put out the moon, now the road is a minefield. my grandfather got out of the hospital about a week ago, now my aunt is there with three blood clots. one is bad enough for people because my grandfather can hardly walk on one of his legs from one. i can't imagine what three is like. i can't imagine how mitch must be feeling right now. hopefully, he can't understand much of it...but he's one of the smartest ten year olds around, he doesn't miss too many beats. i might offer to take him for awhile, he'd probably like that. considering i guarantee brandon has left the place to get away from all of it. he was the victim before i was. but then again, we all suffer from it. i'd say my grandmother has had a body image problem all her life, probably never diagnosed because of her age and her times. which is sick and sad because in her obsessive states she pegs all of us for not eating better. thats just not fair to anyone. i remember watching brandon drop about thirty pounds just to get them all to stop teasing him. then it was my turn, but in my head none of it had anything to do with what they were saying. then after me my aunt decides to get this surgery to "cure her diabetes" and now she's practically dying from it. first it was just severe dehydration and now its bloodclots. i'm pretty sure this was never in her recovery file, because this isn't any sort of recovery. its only self-induced anorexia and because she decided to chop half of her organ out and her fats got no where to go but to eat itself she's going to end up dying because she wants to be skinny. i don't want to make this about me. thats just selfish, but its detonating that ticking bomb inside of me that i have been able to recently suffocate the sound of. this just isnt fair to anyone, even if there are different reasons and motivations...it just isn't fair. people shouldn't be so controlled by how much they weigh. nor should they be controlled by money either, or what they have the power to do with it. im so sick feeling from all of this, and somehow a mess....but i'm not sure why. maybe in a weird way because its like watching someone go through the same thing i did, or maybe its for some reason i dont even know. but i do know that its deeper than just a person i care about being sick. i want it all to go away and be better, i want to get my mind off of it because im so nervous for her and the kids and everyone. ♥ a |

i'll be waiting, all thats left to do is run. you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess. its a love story baby, just say yes. so if you didn't know, i had been selected to read at the BaltimoreBookFest. its one of the largest literary events on the east coast and it was this weekend. i wish they would have had a raindate because it would have been a lot of fun in good weather. generally the event draws 60,000+ people total throughout the entire weekend. there is so much going on and tons of media coverage on a nice day which made me so nervous i was getting sick last night and this morning. i even broke down at work yesterday. hurricane kyle really saved me. while the event still went on, the rain really turned away a lot of people so i had a much smaller crowd than i expected. greg said i did really well. i tried to emotionally deattach myself from the situation and focus on the words on the paper that i had practiced so much that i had those three pages memorized. but out of all this, the fact that my first public appearance was today is not what i'll remember about this weekend. i'm going to remember the way i watched my boyfriend struggle this entire week to find a way to comfort me, and the way i saw him grow and prove just how much he really does know me by the end of it. yesterday while i finished a poem about cape fear he drug the dining room table into the living room and i heard the infamous i dont wanna be anything other than what i've been trying to be lately.... i came in to eat dinner (which was really nice to just eat in) and he put in episode two of season five. i needed to hear that everyone is afraid of doing what they need to do in order for their dreams to come true...but that its possible. "there's gonna be a lot of times in your life when you're afraid. it's okay to have fear but if you let it run you, it's going to make you miss out on a lot of great things." even today when he came in he just knew how to hold me in the right way, to make me feel like no matter what was going to happen he was going to be proud of me. he made sure i at least at a little something and practiced and tried to make me laugh and keep my mind from freaking out. i was really taking this in a different sort of stride than i normally would have. my freaking out wasn't so much about other people judging me as much as about knowing that this was it - the rest of my life (in regards to writing, and my career) are starting now...because i'm letting it. even better, greg is going to be next to me the whole time...and he doesn't have to be the biggest fan of my writing, but he's there for me. it was nice to just love each other when we got home and go to a movie. its so nice to know that we are working, even when we are facing individual challenges. "you saved me with the words you wrote about me in your novel. your art matters. it's what got me here..." i wrote that at the top of my paper today because i kept repeating it in my head. even if i haven't saved anyone with the words i wrote about them in my novel, i wish that i could one day. but more importantly, i think i've saved myself in some ways with the words i've wrote. its good to remind myself that my art matters, because it is what has gotten me to this point in my life. jace would have been proud. i think he was. this is going to be my life now, i'm pursuing this - people are willing to let me. people think i have a chance, i'll never know if i don't take that chance. i kept looking over in the movie today and watching greg's silhouette watch the movie. he really is the best thing thats ever happened to me. he's made me realize that i can go anywhere i want to and see anything i want - and he's completely along for the ride. even if i want to see a world that isn't real, we'll go there and pretend it is. i can't believe i got so lucky to be so happy. thank you to everyone else as well who sent me nothing but supportive messages and helped me to stay calm and keep things in perspective and have given me all the feedback i could ever ask for. even people who i haven't talked to in awhile really came through for me this time to let me know that they believe in me, and i appreciate that with all of my heart. especially when i kept so quiet about it, and you all made sure to check up on me about it. i had a great time with my dad on friday, i'm glad i spent some time going on deliveries with him because i saw a lot of downtown that i've never seen before. i think a lot of life is about seeing new places. also, i got invited to join the national honors society of lit last night. i'm really proud of myself, its strange to say that because i think it sort of sounds cocky to say that...but i am. "the rest of your life is being shaped right now with the choices you make, the chances you take, the dreams you chase, and the person you decide to be." thanks haley james. i love my life and the people in it that i am so lucky to have. here's to you, me, & all of our dreams. ♥ a |

they tear apart people's poetry, so hard that i never wanted to submit mine because nothing is real, nothing from my heart. so i went back to when it was, back to literary magazines of red and gray and i read poems and then i found more poems and they were all about him. all pieces of lines i'd put together that didn't go together and that i can still remember where they came from, all about him. and then there was another him...but never the him i was supposed to be writing about. and it just didn't help me. it just let me know that i was there. so i stumbled upon a poem about me that i never knew how to take. and i remembered where it came from. that there are good and bad in people, in me. in everything everyone else sees. and now, i think i know what i was looking for. a piece of me in someone else's heart that i could see. thank you, friend. ♥ a |

i'd like to say "it started when..." and begin a very cliche entry about how my day has been full of bad luck. however, today i just don't agree that it's bad luck. i just think it was all supposed to happen. i dont even know what that means. its so vague and abstract. "everything happens for a reason". does anything happen for no reason? do we just say these things to make sense of why a series of events occurs the way it does? recently someone looked me straight in the eye and said fate was bullshit. im pretty sure it was marty, but i could be really wrong. it doesn't even matter who said it, the point is - maybe things just happen and not for a reason at all, we just find reason within it. i have these moments where i feel like its my first day of first grade, and i'm in a new place wearing something new and i don't know anyone around me and nothing feels familiar. all my innocence swells and i suddenly feel fragile. its the exact same thing as when someone says "one thing goes wrong and my whole day is thrown off". i walk from my car and realize my breakfast isn't in my hand. i go back to my car and realize my breakfast is at my house. suddenly my breakfast had feelings or something, and i was the jerk who spent more time getting it ready than myself only to abandon it on my way out the door. i felt like crying already, and for some reason that just made it worse. i tried to distract the ridiculous feeling of sadness by reading until greg came. he so graciously provided me with a chewy bar. its a good thing i didnt eat breakfast however, because by the time fiction rolled around i was ready to throw up. all along i was nervous about having my professor because his rate my professor read "will make you feel like a dismal failure" in as many different ways that exist. i couldn't understand after my first day. he just seemed like a musically-inclined, kinda nerdy, all around nice guy. we got an email saying my piece would be workshopped today. it caught me off guard but i was excited, no one else was an english major so i just naturally thought mine was being used as an example. whether or not that was the case, i dunno. it certainly wasn't used as an example of how to workshop. i have done like maybe 50 in my college career total so far and its fine to start off with something critical, but something good was in there - i read my stuff compared to everyone elses. there was no need for what went down. i understand honors kids like to run with what the teacher says, but it should have stopped when i couldn't stop the tears from coming out of my eyes. i felt completely humiliated and i just wanted to come home. it didn't help that of course today of all days i didn't have anyone to eat with. i found myself in the bathroom just trying to breathe and not break down, which i really felt like doing. then it reminded me all over again of all the times i had done that in high school, sat in the bathroom to pull myself together and not cry. i've come a long way from there but i still let things like this make me not believe in myself. im never going to be as confident as most of my teachers are in me, and im certainly not going to end up being cocky about what i may or may not be able to do...but today was just really out of line. his rate my professor profile was completely right. it sucks to know that i'm not the only one this has happened to...but why me of all people? i wondered why the others were just going with it, acting like it was some sort of bash fest. and once again, i have been through so many crits that i know the difference. im not upset because someone didn't like it - its the way it all happened. i realized its because they dont care about it. writing isn't a part of them and their lives like it is mine. its probably something hardly ever personal or anything other than an assignment for them. jess knew as soon as she saw me that something went terribly wrong. its good to know i have a friend that i can see everyday at school and who i feel comfortable talking with about almost anything. lee imed me today and told me that if i had a bad day, i needed to write...and its ironic that this is what all of the upset is about anyway. he says im brave because i put myself out there in a way people don't see as putting myself out there. sometimes i wonder if its just dumb. i don't want saturday to come. i don't want to read at all. my nerves feel shot. i should go do some sort of homework now... ♥ a |

i woke up in new york city from a sleep behind the wheel... i woke up really early, got to work at six. worked until eleven and then came home. showered off the scent of chemicals & dye. headed to school to eat lunch with the boys. i haven't laughed that hard a meal since... the lunch table at mvp, i couldn't breathe. once again, i didn't want to let go of him. monday goodbyes are always the worst. i went to the library where i threw down. i lost three dollars because i can't argue. when i came home i rehearsed in the mirror. i'm so petrified, i really need new material. the advertisements are making me scared. corey was on gossip girl, it was awkward. one tree hill was a little bit of a let down. bridge episodes tend to disappoint me a lot. however, the preview for next week = nuts. i realized i have the same dinner on mondays. i really love talking to greg about anything. liz is one of my best friends in the whole world. i'm really tired and tomorrow scares me too. not only will i be in pain, but i have anxiety, ew! i don't want to sound like a complainer, sorry. anyway, becker is using my fiction as an example. i'm excited to be workshopped because i love it. i should probably get some sleep, im exhausted. i look forward to a hug and a kiss on the forehead, only a few more hours until its time for breakfast. to the people i haven't heard from in a little while: i miss you terribly, contact me soon. please? goodnight. ♥ a |

1) if you are going to publicly say my name in front of someone who is my good friend, there is a good chance whatever you said is going to get back to me 2) the last time i checked "friends" generally treat each other with respect, dont use each other, and enjoy each others company i see how it is. guess what? i'm a friend, not a status choice. you can be there for people whenever they need a crying shoulder and you can help them through their hard times but when you try to share some good times, its only on their time. thanks a lot. ♥a |

one night to be confused, one night to speed up truth... so i had been saving my extra money like crazy, i had my heart set on buying an ipod. i really did. i got really upset when my phone broken but then my dad offered to get me one in november and let me use his contract phone because my brother used mine. this made me really happy because i don't feel bad because i know i need a new phone and my dads phone is brand new. this means i will save about two-hundred dollars on a phone, and i bet my dad won't even make me pay for it. so then i was relieved, i can go another month and a half without a properly working phone. its worth it and i'm not impatient. so anyway, then i was really excited about my ipod because the new ones just came out. i even went to the mall today to look at them. but the thing is, i had only enough money to buy an ipod. i realized i had to make a decision, what did i need more? yesterday when i had visited my grandfather i realized i needed clothes more than i thought i did. my mom, who is by no means ever concerned about fashion, was trying to be real with me. i didn't know how to take it. i'm in this in-between stage. i'm not quite an adult in my head and i'm not exactly a teenager. expressing myself has been a struggle, picking out clothes has been absolutely impossible. my insecurities come out in the mall, i start comparing myself to other people and get too scared to try things on. so anyway, my mom asked me if i went out in my tops from kohl's to parties and stuff and i told her yes and then she told me that i should be treating myself to some nice things just because of the people i choose to surround myself with. aside from that, apparently i have a lot of see-through worn clothes and clothes with holes in them....that, or they just plain don't fit. so in the process of learning about what a great deal this new ipod was and decided between the new black or the new silver, i had to tell adam the mac guy that i would be back. i decided to just look around and force myself to try to buy some clothes...and not like one top that was a hundred dollars. so after figuring out how much money i wanted to spend on my halloween costume, i set that aside in a separate pocket and hit every sale i could find and tried on everything i never thought i'd wear. i spent all of my ipod money, which i'm not really that sad about because christmas is coming and if i ask for that, someone will probably get it for me. i'm also not too worried because i have my finances really organized and i think i will come up with the money in another month if i really decide i want to get it, but like i said - i can wait. the only thing i bought that wasn't on sale were my jeans, which i didn't mind shelling out a little too much for because 1) they are the only brand of jeans i can actually wear without my ass hanging out & 2) about three weeks ago i ripped my only other pair. in other words, i knew i needed them. jeans are like the only pants i wear because they clean up so nicely - i had to make sure i had another pair. so yeah, i got two hooded sweatshirts because they are great for school, my jeans, and six tops (all different). not bad for what i spent at all. im glad i can go to work tomorrow for awhile because it will make me feel less guilty about spending my money. anyway, i also had lunch by myself and that didn't make me feel as lonely as it usually does. i think because i have so much trust that i'll never be alone now. the best part about the whole day was that i didn't have to pull out my credit card once. i was at the mall for a good three hours because i'm really indecisive but it was walking around the entire time which means i'm definitely not running on the treadmill tonight. i'm allowing my legs a break. aside from that, i'm really hungry and have a ton of homework to get done. to keep my stress level to a minimum this week and allot much practice time, i'm getting get all of my homework done for the week finished today. goodbye for now. i'm so excited that tomorrow is one tree hill :). ♥ a |
