I think I'm finally settling in.

school is good. it's not amazing, or overall fantastic. I could think of places I'd rather be and things I'd rather be doing. especially when it rains and I have to walk accross campus. but at the same time, it's not bad, aweful, horrible....I enjoy most of it and have a few friends and acquantances. and for the most part (discounting math), it's fun.

like how my theory teacher played the opening theme to E.T. about 20 times yesterday while discussing intervals to help us remember 5ths.
or how my history class is filled with the weirdest people I think I've ever met, and how we got to demonstrate our lack of artistic talent yesterday by drawing a Mesopotamian city-state, including religious, social and political symbolism, and early problems cities faced, as well as class distinction. all in a picture drawn with dry erase markers in four colors on an overhead slide.
and today we got to see everybody's.
my gosh, I laughed so hard in history today. it seems that half of the class are just really quirky extroverted people, who don't mind making fools of themselves. we laugh together, and we learn together too. it's a good last class to have.
plus today in math I just had a test, so I didn't even have to go to class. yay!!! and I think I did fairly well too, at least, for me in math...

yesterday I ran into Joe who used to go to my youth group and we hung out for our whole free hour together. it was so much fun - he's the randomest, funnest person ever, always smiling, likes cheap thrills (like playing with my cell phone because it slides open and has a full keyboard). I ditched study in the library (so overrated anyway) and he had his guitar - he's an awesome musician - and we just hung out in the student lounge and talked and stuff. it was a blast. I mean, I've run into lots of friends so far, but I haven't really got to hang out with them at all, just talking between classes for five or ten minutes. so I really needed that.

and tonight I'm going to Lauren's to go scrapbooking, after my match. I'm so excited!!!!!

tomorrow I'll be at this thing called MissionsFest all day, because I'm volunteering, so I won't be here...
and Sunday I have church and then I'm babysitting my neighbors all day pretty much, so I won't be on then either....
unfortunately.
but it's ok. I could most definitely use the money. I love payday...

anyway. that means I really should do my homework now. I won't be able to for pretty much the rest of the weekend. so, I gotta go do that.

yeah.



it's the first thing you see when you open your eyes,
the last thing you say as you're saying goodbye,
and something inside you is crying, driving you on...
