Thanksgiving, From Emails to Annebel

--Tuesday: Josh Sigler and Kristen and CK's, we met Lauren Huddleston and Nick and Lena, I ate a waffle, it was delicious, I took Josh home, Kristen and I sat in my bed talking about boys and college for a little while, I took her home, I went to sleep.

--Wednesday: I awoke to your call (what better way?), it was your birthday, I took you to Harbortown and we took pictures for real, I had to go to the dentist, we got Kristen and cheesecake, you didn't buy that dress at American Apparel, the sky got real scary, we went to Kroger for tortellini and you and Kristen tormented me when I had nowhere to run, we made food and had a Zac Efron sandwich on hot foreign boy bread, we went to sleep.

--Thursday: I took Kristen home, I took you home, I made mashed taters, it was Thanksgiving. I called Spencer's mom to ask if she still had any shirts from Guy's Tuxedos, which she used to own and was my brother's first job and also my mom worked there for a few years, and she said she'd look. I was planning an excellent gift. She and Spencer and his brother Jason came over for food, she brought me the shirt, we ate and Spencer and I saw August Rush, which was great, then went by his house, which was boring, then I came home. I went to Martha's and we all made warrior costumes (See my most recent album on FB. In fact, look at all of those pictures because they are all great, not just the ones you're in.), we attacked Ryan's house, we went to a playground, picked up Jack Katze, went to CK's, I had a waffle, I went home.

--Friday: Eileen, Martha, Ryan, and eventually Eric Neimeyer went to Ms. Kitts' house to make cookies and had a wonderful time. We cooked and played the instruments and spent several hours enjoying the fine company. I took Eileen to Morgan Fox's house so she could go to RENT. I got my Morgan and we went to the Neimeyer potluck and ate a lot of food, played team Scrabble and foreign team scrabble, experimented with the flash on my and Hattie's camera. Morgan and I went to Eileen's to sleep.

--Saturday: We got up and played with Mia (Eileen's sister who is almost four), tried to take her to lunch but didn't have time so we took her home and went to Brother Juniper's, where I had a waffle, which makes three total. I took a very fast shower and got you and we saw Dan in Real Life and got Starbucks and you got mad at me for being too sarcastic to your friends but I really did like them. I took you home. I ate Chinese food and went to the Nathan and Jesse household for a while, saw them and Lauren Strange and Ryan and Martha and Cole Reeves, got my clothes smelling like fire, hugged everyone, got Lena, and went to Mercer and Lilla's birthday party, which was fun. After it I took Lena home, but she and I sat in her driveway for an hour talking. She is a lot smarter than people think and I think she has a lot figured out about life. She told me a lot of good stuff that I am considering if the opportunity arises. I thanked her and went home, packed, slept.

--Sunday: I woke up, we drove back, it rained the whole way, mom and I played Remember Facts About My Friends, I was at college.

So come on, courage,

teach me to be shy

My Schedule, Once Again, is Delightful

MWF
10-1050: German 112, Elementary German II (Meredig)
12-1250: World Cultures 120H, Emergence of the Modern World (Unknown Professor, but if it's Brian Ernsting I will stand up and leave the moment he walks in the room.)

Please note:
Writing 205 from Paul Bone, history from Maria's dad, no classes at 8AM, lots of awesomeness, and oh yeah, I'll be living on the third floor with Chelsea. So, I have established, even though five (or maybe six) of my eight dearest friends will be gone (Maria, Jennifer, Kelly, Guy, Alex, and maybe Kent), next semester might be okay.

There was a time

about forty-five minutes ago, when for maybe four minutes, i was thinking about lakeshore next summer, and my world cultures paper that is due in less than nine hours was completely out of my thoughts. and it was wonderful.

update: i had a panic attack. my morning was horrible, but tonight i felt pretty for the first time in years.
