Naked Turtle

To drop my shell for but a brief moment of the day

Original Tees

I was wearing one of my turtle shirts that I hadn't worn most of senior year yesterday. Why didn't I wear it last year? Because one day I saw one of the girls in my class wear it! Well that's just embarrassing on the slight to chance for both of us to wear the same shirts. Unless we all had uniforms or something. In which case we didn't. So I was going to the post office with my sister to mail her video project/birthday gift to her friend (hooray for videos! I actually taught her how to use the software and gave her a few tips and she made most of it herself! :D *proud*), when guess who came walking into the P.O.?! Yes! The girl who had the same shirt last year! Thankfully she wasn't wearing the same shirt, she was wearing a frog shirt. (eww frogs). But geez, after all that time, I don't even keep in touch with her, what were the chances that we'd meet there? I said hello and was happy to see her of course and I noticed her eyeing the shirt. HAHA! I didn't say anything, pretending I didn't see that. It was funny because that morning when I thought wear it, I thought of her and that it would be impossible for us to be in the same place that day. Guess not.

Fortunately, Unfortunately

As I was walking in the rain to class this morning, I just realized that next week is my last week for classes! woohoo!!! that was a nice thing to realize :p. but then that means my final is next week too. fortunately it is just like a normal exam, but unfortunately i am not looking forward to it. i got my 3rd exam back today, and i didn't get as much as i'd hope. i want to pull off a B in that class... i was looking at ratemyprofessors.com for my profs for the fall, and it's looking mostly positive! except for the one teacher i couldn't switch out of anyway, since he's the only one.
 
I forgot to bring my phone today, i feel so naked! lol. well it feels weird... last time i forgot it, i had to do something very important like find stacy in an arena. yeah... today i don't think i have anything like that, i better not, because i don't remember any such thing. i have another training session next monday for the bookstore. last friday was a video thing, which was alrite. we got paid for it, so no complaints! now i just need to buy the right clothing. buying, ugh. i wanted to make money before spending it again! i hope i can start right away, i know for my availability i didn't say i could start until close to fall sem. but i wasn't sure at the time, so hopefully i can get a schedule earlier than that. my parents want to go somewhere the first week of august, so every week except that one! haha. my sister starts school on the 9th. already! that is so early. i'll finally be on a vacation (after the official family vacation), and she'll be in school!

Aw those are my gals

Haha I love the Golden Girls! Even though I am nowhere near their ages, it's so funny. :)

Rose
You are Rose!
You are a person who cares about everything on this
planet. You are a great friend because you will
listen and understand. Though some may see you
as a little dim, don't be sad, because you are
lighting up people's lives! Oofda!


Which Golden Girl are you?

Hold On

I haven't done this in a looooooooooong loooooooong time. But now I have a song that has related to me/that I like...

Hold On
Jet

You tried so hard to be someone
That forgot who you are

You tried to fill some emptiness
Till all you had spilled over

Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where are
You are

(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold onto
For you to hold onto

For you to belong to


When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else

Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are
You are

(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold onto
For you to hold onto

Hold on [4x]

Hold on [4x]

(Chorus)
When all that you wanted
When all that you had don’t seem so much
For you to hold onto
For you to hold onto
For you to hold onto

For you to belong to

Daily Papers

Meant to post this earlier, oh well, it's still valid:

Last Tuesday, Billy and his friend (I feel bad, I never bother to remember his name) actually found me in the library. Haha, I hadn’t been avoiding him or anything but I just tend to disappear from people for awhile. Anyway, we all had lunch in the union from Wendy’s and it was a nice change to be able to talk to someone I knew at school. As we were leaving I told them to hold on cuz I was getting an Orlando Sentinel:

“You get the paper?”
“Yeah. And it’s funny cuz every time I get one, someone is right there asking for one! *imitates a whiny voice* ‘can I have one too…’ they say-”
*turns around, sees an older man looking at me*
“Oh. Would you like one too?”
“Why yes!”
“Here you go.”

Haha it was hilarious. He was just in time!

Goodbye June

Hello July!!

Okay I meant to post yesterday, but I had a writer's block and didn't feel like going on last night (woohoo!).

Yesterday marked FOUR years since I moved from Cali. That's amazing! Time has flown, altho not that swiftly, and things have changed since then. I'm not saying it seemed so long ago, cuz it really doesn't, and somewhere along the line we (my sister and I) have confused our Illinois dates. haha that's quite odd, it was only a little over a year there, but I suspect we think it seemed much more.

Meanwhile, SONYA has also left! I don't know if it was tuesday or yesterday (like me). Haha the end of June seems like a good moving time. She probably won't read this until her computer is up or until she finds that library with the internet again, but I wish her a safe voyage! I don't know about advice I'd give for moving. She seems quite capable of adjusting to new environments. I do remember experiencing culture shock and going from CA to NC must be a huge difference. Suddenly I realized all of the teeny details and comforts that I took for granted. Consequently, I seem to be too detail-oriented and notice everything different/similar from states. But that is probably just me.

Moving is probably a mixed blessing. I didn't want to move at all when I did...it's just not normal! :p The transition from IL to FL was much easier for me, even though I still thought moving at that time was not normal either. For Tiff it was okay, she graduated elem school to go onto to middle. I was stuck in high school chaos, hopeful to find somewhere to fit in and discovering that it would be better to make an identity of my own (because I didn't really fit anywhere...or I didn't think so). Now, it's my second year of college and I have friends ALL over the place. It's great! Sometimes I just wish they were all more accessible lol. I would really hate to move again. really. I've got a lot going for me right now, I've got plans darnit!! I have plans for next November ('05. haha gee I wonder what it could be), I've been elected the 2004-2005 Conference Chair for SWE (hooray!), I'm going to a Cher concert this September, I HAVE A COLLEGE CAREER TO COMPLETE. Out-of-state tuition is outrageous, there is no reason for me to go anywhere.

oh I think I've said too much.
