Monday Nights

This is how I spend my Monday nights...

Enough said....

Family Weekend

Well, family weekend was a success. Alec got dropped off to me Friday morning at 8:45am and stayed with me ALL weekend. He shadowed me on Friday and went to my two morning classes (learning community). He was a little bored but he made it through both classes, and took an econ quiz with my class and actually had a better answer than I did...so not cool...but it made him feel good about himself, that he was actually learning things in school. I gave him a in depth tour of Flagler (which isn’t a whole lot), we ate lunch at the dhall (he loved the plethora of options), then went to the condo for a little with Amanda and then I left them for a play date and went and rain some errands with Johnny. Those two are sooo cute together, Amanda’s officially apart of the family:] Ate dinner at the dhall then Alec went and bonded with the boys while us girls got ready and had “happy” time:P We met back up with the boys and since nothing was going on (since it was family weekend) we decided to just cruise around downtown st.augustine like we always do when weare bored. We took a nice little stroll down St. George Street, and it was only a matter of minutes before we heard “wonderwall” by Oasis playing from a restaurant. Of course Amanda and I instantly stopped and began singing and dancing obnoxiously. This continued on for about 2 hours…our whole little Flagler family dancing and singing in the middle of St.george Street…it was awesome. We even ran upstairs to see the little two man band who was playing, and we danced and sang with them for a song. Best night I’ve had at Flagler hands down. We introduced Alec to taco shop after, he was in heaven. Trent hit on some middle aged women (one who was a porn star) and then Amanda got in a British fight with a group of people…she was screaming god knows what to these people in a British accent…haha 7 people against little ole her…it was hilarious. We then proceeded to walk around downtown until everyone called it a night. I however…decided to go back out for a rendezvous in the preus…haha. it was a Goodnight:]

Saturday was a pretty lazy day. Got brunch in the dhall, then took Alec and Josh to hangout by the pool at the condo with the fam. Awkward conversations with my parents about partying...haha, theyare pretty cool about it though so its all good. Ate dinner at the dhall then went to the soccer game with alec and amanda and we met up with mr ty mac:] boy is he all grown up, he's thinking of coming to Flagler next year which would be just oh so exciting. I can't imagine if we all came here, it would be greeat:] The boys won 2-1 and are conference champions. Once again, unfortunately for Alec, there wasnt much going on, so we went to Trents friends hotel beachside for the night. Played some pong, ate some food, then passsssed out...four of us in a queen size bed. Found some things out today I didnt really want to know about Trent..and my trust level has decrease significantly..which is bad since my trust for guys is already pretty miniscule. OHWELL.

Sunday=blahh. Soo extremely tired. Sleep terrible, had to get up and go to lunch with the family (sad saying goodbye). Then I came back to the dorm and attempted to nap, which deffiently didnt happen. Ate an early dinner, banged out some homework in the library and then made a midnight run to Carmellos. Deffiently ate a full meal at 1230am...I really need to stop eating so damn much...Iv gained almost ten pounds since Iv been here and have deffiently lost my figure...its depressing...but thats college for you, freshman 15:P

Well, it was an eventfull weekend, but overall it was a success. I got Alec excited about going to college, and even more excited about coming to Flagler. My work is done.

Redemption

Today...was a good day. I deffiently redeamed myself from my last two shitty days. I actually woke up for my monring classes, made it on time, gave a speech that wasnt half bad, got my hair cut with amanda, took a lovely walk on the beach, went and did my laundry and got food with Johnny. It was nice:] (s.g.c....;]) and the weather is absolutely BEAUTIMOUS. Makes me happy. Im so ready for christmas time, fall is in the air and I love it. Walked around st.auggy with Amanda after dessert and just took in the wonderful weather...



then went for a skate and jammed out, and then went and visited the fam at the condo (ate a whole bag of chips with salsa...champ). AND Alec comes tomorrow! It's going to be a good weekend.

"Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer; the secret of redemption lies in remembrance" (Richard von Weizaecker). Today was my day for redemption. I had a pretty down last few days, overthinking stupid pointless things and stress was way to overwhellming and I just couldnt seem to deal. Today, however, I washed away my worries with a wonderful day. Days like today make me love life. Things like boys, crushes, girl drama, school stress, etc.. arent things that are worth the time and energy required to stress over them..

One of those days

Yesterday was deffiently one of those days..woke up to text messages i dont remember sending..fell out of bed when my alarm went off (which left me with a nice new bruise)...slept through most of my math class..slept half my day away..tripped up the stairs, down the stairs, and walking on a completely flat surface... mind racing all day...not exactly an awesome day..However it did pick up some. Went to the beach to walk off my frustrations with Amanda and Nicky, had a lovely gossip sesh. Had a nice dinner, worked out, ended up at Matts house again and ended the night with my girlies and ramon noodles:] Today, however...another one of those days. Its only 3pm and my day sucks. I was apparently mentally exhausted from yesterday and hit snooze to many times this morning to the point that my alarm just decided to stop going off. My first class was at 8am...I finally woke up at 12pm. Slept right through both my morning classes, lunch, and almost missed my art class. Great huh? And to make things even better..people suck. haha. I could really use a nice pick me up right about now..or a major distraction.

But on a lighter note, my brothers coming up to visit me this weekend:] Which im ohhso excited about. He's never been one to quite enjoy school, and the thought of college isnt all that appealing to him..so Im hoping this visit gets him excited about going to college and going away to school instead of staying home and going to community college. I want to show him that yes Im at school, which has responsibilities and can be a lot of work, but I still have plenty of time to do my own shit and have funn. I mean who else can say they go to class, take a two hour nap, then spend the rest of the day at the beach?? So hes going to shadow me one friday, go with me to my two morning classes (which are my learning community classes which are both based off of sports) then I will show him around, go get some lunch, and if its nice out, most likely end up at the beach:] Im excited.

later....deffiently went to the playground by the parking garage with amanda:]...weare so lame. But i found my name on a plague that was put there when I was like 7, I was soooo happy, it deffiently made my day. I actually went to work outs tonight (knee pooped out) but after workouts instead of going running I went longboarding which was absolutely loverlyyy. Worked out a lot of my shit, and the weather is beautimous. I love it here, and I really need to learn not to fret the small things..and just enjoy my life and I got to stop being so damn OCD, puts a damper on my day. haha. Right now amanda and I are being oh so adorible sitting on st.george street outside a little pub just on our computers listening to music, enjoying the weather:] I.Love.College

College life

So I stumbled across this ancient blog I started in middle school and freshman year of highschool...Looking back at these older posts have been quite amusing...I have grown up quite a bit since then:P Im a freshman in college now, Flagler College woopwoop. I absolutely love it here. Ive made a great group of friends:] have a cute little college family, my professors are cool and my classes dont competely suck. For being a strict campus, dry and no interdorm visitation, we still have a blast and go hard like champs. And I absolutely love the small campus atmosphere, veryy homey and you really get to know people. I barely miss home (minus my family who I miss a lot), satellite beach just doesnt compare to st.augustine.

Well, now that I have found this lovely blog of mine Im going to try and start writing on a regular basis again. I could deffiently use the outlet thats fersuree, not that anyones probably ever going to read these, Its good to write your shit out sometimes. Tonights topic is going to be boys, haha what else is new:P (boys= the common denominator in all my previous posts). Since i've been at college..i've gone a tad, for lack of better words, boy crazy...So heres the question, which i think most college girls asks themselves...do you let yourself actually like the guys you "hook up" with? Or do you chalk it all up to drunken nights of fun. Iv met a lot of great guys here, sadly my "numbers" at 7...which isnt as bad as amandas 10:P but when do you step back, stop the drunken nights of fun and stick with one guy? how do you differentiate between actual feelings and the influence of liquid courage? I know most kids arent looking for relationships, especially freshman year of college, I am one of those kids...but curiousity deffiently killed the cat...

But there's no need to stress the little things, like the confusing opposite sex... Whats meant to be will be, and you just gotta sit back and enjoy the ride untill then

P.S. new rule...phone gets turned OFF after drinking. drunk texts are mortifying the next morning...

Thusday

NO MORE SCHOOL! haha summer 08 baby! our last day was tuesday. and it didnt even feel like the last day of school. i had biology and science research. the day went by superduper fast. and right after school i went to the beach with sam tom and malcom. seth and quinn came later and we saw nick wesley and brandon and they hung out for a bit. then i went home and took a shower and went to doubles with samantha after her dance. it was fun :] like everyone was there. me and ryan broke up finally. we've been stretching it out for like 2 weeks. yeah he pulled a pretty dick move? but w.e im over it and i deffiently didnt let it ruin my night. me and sam hung out till around 10 and then went back to her house. then we woke up at 450!! how crazy? cuz we went to pelican to watch the sunrise. no one actually thought wed do it. but we did :] perfect way to start of summer. nikki malcom seth jen and mrs.tom came too. we didnt actually think malcom would go? but he was the first one there haha. it was jens birthday so after we watched the sunrise we went to bagel world for breakfast and then back again to the beach. we just hung out at pelican till i dont remember when. we had quite a few sand fights and some how played chicken on the rocks? and nikki yanked my top off for the world to see twice! haha it was kinda funny, but also embarrassing. well then we went back to sams for a little bit but then her family went out to lunch so we came to my house. we spent most of the time out in the canal ffloating on this little raft thing. they sunk the kayaks like 4 times, which was amusing for me and samantha to watch. they all left around 2ish and i just hung out here. i was sooo tired i fell asleep on the couch for like 2 hours. it was fantastic :] haha then today i didnt really do much. i "watched" alec and oban this morning and then i went to my dads office to learn how to do some things so i can take care of stuff while the crews in costa. i was going to go to the satellite waitroom work out but lke no freshmen were going and i didnt want to go by myself, even tho we arent technically freshmen anymore :] then tonight im going to beach from 630-8 and jennas comeing over for one of our overdue movies nights and we are getting up and going to the beach tomorrow, idk which beach though prolly just pelican. theres supose to be little waves tomorrow too which makes me pretty exciting cuz i havent been able to try out my new board yet. so im going to try and remember to keep writing. i know no one actually reads these but its nice to write stuff down sometimes.
