Die Leben Einschätzung Zwei

so a little over a year ago i did a life assessment and i decided it would be a terrific idea to do it again.
  • i love college. i love college. i love love love love love love college.

  • a lot of the things that were true in august 2006 are still true in october 2007. but some of them are not. for example, the next eight bullets:
  • i dont have to want college now because i have it. it is all i thought it would be and i am so happy.
  • it doesnt matter that i am no good at math because i never have to take it again and i am so happy.
  • mr brown no longer makes me want to die die die because he no longer has jurisdiction over me and i am so happy.
  • high school is now out of my face and i was right, i do love life a lot more.
  • i dont really have that strong an opinion on willifords anymore.
  • i have accepted that nathaniel hawthorne was in fact a man.
  • novus was cancelled so i didnt quit, but i did stop before i left the city. however, it was not of my own volition.
  • i am still terrified of failure and never getting married but i am no longer afraid of being late to class and not being able to pay for college and dancing and being caught with a cellphone at school.

  • the worst thing in my life right now is that my roommate snores and likes to keep the room cooler than i do.
  • i love to write letters.
  • i dont really need to watch tv.
  • my heart of hearts spends approximately 60% of the day pining for ron weasley.
  • i can probably get really great at german, and that is really exciting.
  • i want a boy who takes my mind off my mouth.
  • im a little closer to being pro-life than i expected to be.
  • i am capable of getting my laundry and dishes done and cleaning my room.
  • i feel uncomfortable financially when i am not saving money for something, but the only big thing i want that i dont have is a macbook, and i think im going to get one in about a year, so i am saving my money for going to africa. my mother told me that my father doesnt want me to go to africa, and i told her that he cant stop me.
  • im still not sure what i think about jesus.
  • riding my bike makes me feel like a little kid in the best possible way.
  • i could probably live a happy life as an editor but i still want to be a professor.
  • i like children a lot.
  • my ultimate goal is 138.
  • sometimes i play tetris in my head without thinking about it.
  • college is hard, but i can do it.
  • in less than a year, i will be in england. its going to be the absolute greatest.
  • in two or three years, i wont have a home in memphis anymore. im not sure what i think about that, but the new house is going to be beautiful.
  • i probably like you a lot.

Fall Break, and Why I Haven't Posted in so Long

part one. on friday i was very tired. i turned in my lit paper, i didnt go to german, i took a quiz on the qur'an, i ate lunch, i took a five hour drive, and i was home. i saw annebel first and we got morgan and mpc. we picked up kristen and josh from The Game and took annebel and josh home, and eventually kristen too. morgan spent the night, we fell asleep pretty fast.

on saturday morgan and i watched the following films:
--the fellowship of the ring extended edition (208 minutes)
--the two towers extended edition (223 minutes)
--the return of the king extended edition (250 minutes)
for a grand total of eleven hours and twenty-one minutes of lord of the rings action in one day. morgan spent the night again.

on sunday i took morgan home early to do things like read beowulf. i went to old navy with my mother. i got annebel. we planned to take a million pictures. we went to shelby farms and smoothie king, and tried to go to the swing but there were kids on it. at shelby farms we were swinging on a big red tire and a tiny boy named joshua came and swung with us for a while. he had freckles and was, i think, about five. annebel and i went back to my home to make dinner, and when we realized we were making way too much for two people, we called kristen and she came too. there were still tons of leftovers. we didnt take any pictures. i took annebel home. we went to kristens. we tried to make brownies for nathan and jesse but they failed miserably. they looked like lava and felt like sponges and tasted like not much at all. i mean the brownies, not nathan and jesse. so we took nathan and jesse a lot of candy instead and left right before midnight. kristen and i had a good talk as we often do. africa, running, college, the electoral college, etc.

on monday kristen and i made bagel sandwiches and went to the lunches at white station. we tried to be good and check in but apparently they dont allow visitation, so we snuck around. next time we'll wear the uniform. we went with chris to herr sturgis' room and he wasnt there at first but then he was. josh came too. we saw some people we love in c lunch and afterwards sat in on stephes class for a while and then went to see across the universe with spencer, which was very good. kristen and i went to ABC and saw a few people but mostly she had a croissant and i had an asiago bagel. thats the most important part. it started raining, we went to target. i bought a hat and a bowl. morgan came over again and we watched three episodes of buffy. annebel brought me brownies and a bag of supplies from her mother: oatmeal, soup, tic tacs, gum, apple cider mix, butterscotch chips. i took kristen and morgan home, watched kucinich on the colbert report, and went to sleep. in the morning i came back to evansville. there you go.

part two. the reason i havent posted so long is because ive been busy. midterm time is a very dangerous time. its not quite over but im doing okay. i am working on life assessment two. i love you all.
