April 9, 2005!!!!!!:
So I haven't written in over a year lol...
Nice work, Kirbs. Maybe wait until we're all old and grey next time. Anyway, it's been a couple years of college, so what have I been up to? Good question, loyal reader! A lot of stuff. It's Professional Semester in Fall 2005, and then Student Teaching, and I graduate a year from next month. Can you believe it? I'm 21 now, go out to Shorty's sometimes. I seem to have a reverse drinking problem, though; I'm a 21-year-old college student, and there are at least three bars in town that I can think of off the top of my head, and I'm not drunk every Thursday...freakin' weird, if you know Kutztown's college population lol. I think I'd just rather drink at home or in my own place (if I had an apartment!). I prefer just sitting around at Langley's or Steph's or wherever we decide to drink, watching some TV or movies and talking about everything with some of the people I love being around more than any others on Earth. The TV/movie is just background noise anyway, and that's the way I like it. Put on the radio or a '90s mix CD, and just sit and chill w/them, pass out whenever we do--wherever we do lol--and wake up in the morning (or the next afternoon) to Langley making us pancakes or omlets, mmmmmmmmm. One of my most favorite things to do ever.
So this summer I'm taking two courses, one first session and one second session, and I'm hoping to get hired for Upward Bound. I'd be able to live on-campus for my classes, and it would be working w/kids, so I'd have fun w/that and gain some experience for my resume. Plus, I'd be working w/Rob Preston. We're just getting to be better and better friends as the semester goes on. I'm really glad Rob's been a DR or else I don't think we'd be this close right now. We've been doing our teacher observations together because we're the same major, so we have fun w/that. And we get to hang out outside of Lehigh, so we can just talk. We have our own private jokes now, and that makes me happy. I'm hoping Rob and I will be able to keep in touch, even after I graduate and we both go off to our respective teaching jobs in different high schools (or maybe colleges). He says I should go for my Doctorate because Dr. Campbell sounds really good and he wants to be able to call me that lol. Maybe we'll teach at the same school, he says, wouldn't that be awesome? Yes, Rob, I always tell him, that would be totally awesome. But I digress lol.
Chris has stuck around. I'm surprised we're still friends after our first fight last semester. We're not as Will&Grace-close as we used to be, but we're still friends. I think it's good for us that we finally broke through that damnable attached-at-the-hip thing we had going on for the first two years of college. He's going to NYC to be a Broadway actor, I'm going somewhere yet unknown to teach high school, and we've finally started to realize that each of us has our own life. I don't feel left behind like maybe I would have last year, and I doubt I'll ever forget him; in fact, I'm sure we'll keep in touch, possibly for the rest of our lives. At least I hope he updates me on where he is and what roles he's playing from time to time. But this year has been absolutely CRAZY. I should've been writing in here last semester LOL. Bitzy's brother, John, goes here now. I've grown very close to him over the past school year, and he's another one I'm hoping will stick around for the rest of my life. Him and Matt Burns have become my new best-guy-friend figures this year, and I'm glad for that. It was really about time I actually got to know Matt. Something more about him than, Hey, he's that really funny kid who's always in the lobby! Yeah, it was really about damn time I finally looked deeper and let him in. Matt's been able to enlighten me to the art that is cuddling (and seriously, it's an art), and his philosophy of life has been adapted, not completely but bits and pieces, into my own. Whatever my own is, I really don't know. John's a writer, and a good one at that. I've been through his first book, The Sword of Souls, and I'm excited about reading his second book (which I assume is a follow-up/sequel to the first). He's been reading to me at night, usually pretty late, right before I usually go to bed. Sometimes after dinner. We actually finished The Sword of Souls last night. It's nice to be read to, since I'm the English major reading every other second of my life. The first night he read, it was 6am before we went to sleep lol. But honestly, it was really really nice. But while I have all these amazing guy friends, who I really love to death and would do anything for...still no romantic attachments to any steady guy in my life. I'll be patient. I can wait.
I guess that's it from me. Any questions about anything else, please feel free to use the e-mail. Thanks for reading!

So it's a long weekend. Today's more like Friday than it is Sunday, and I have a lot of work to do, so hello to the next two days locked in my room or chained to the desk, doing work for every class ever. Not going home this weekend like I planned, but it will be next weekend. Going home Friday, maybe a track invitational (or not), Langley's party Sat. night, and then back here on Sunday afternoon sometime. I'm hoping to play much Nintendo and sleep and drink a lot too. Nothing else to write for now. Boring around here this weekend.

Holy English major spelling errors, Batman--ANOTHER UPDATE!
Not much to tell. I should be working on my ITC game, but I'm putting it off as much as possible by updating the web site I abandoned for more than a year lol. Procrastinators UNITE...Tomorrow. It's the only thing I have to do tonight, so if I'd just do it I could go to bed early. I actually have a bit of a headache, and my eyes are achey...achy...ache-ing
...They hurt lol. So I really should get to bed as early as I can tonight. Okay, fine. I'll really go do my stupid project. Yes, I promise. Yes, I'll get in bed early. Maybe--No promises. But the project, yeah I'll do it now.

Yep...Still April.
So only...
4 papers (Shakespeare, Drama, Women Writers, and Cinema)
1 iMovie, 1 WebQuest, and...a "Classroom of the Future" left for ITC
6 desk shifts (+ 1 weekend - 11 hours) for a total of 21 hours
2 high school observations (Dieruff and Fleetwood)...and my journal needs to be turned in by the end of the high school year...
5 days of class (counting today)
...and finals week to go!!!!!!
I doubt I will update that as often as I plan to at this moment for the rest of the semester lol. I'll try though.
Anyway, today was a good day, I'd say. In fact, I did say! Went to class (no ITC or Shakespeare on Thursday, but we're working on the iMovie during what would be ITC, since the opportunity is there). Turned in a "draft" of my Shakespeare paper. I called it a draft just in case I would have failed had it been the real thing. Now she'll grade for revision rather than actually grading it lol. Then I'll know if it sucks or not, and I can resubmit it when it will get me a good grade. Did my journal/paper for Women Writers, but not getting to turn it in until class on Thursday, so I'll have to look at it for the next 2 days. But at least it's done. Finished everything today for this week except my Drama paper and finishing the last Act in The Winter's Tale for Shakespeare. Then I'll be ready for next week. Only one more full week to go...
After class was dinner w/John, April, Ang, Justine, Emmie, Krissy, and a guy whose name I don't know. After dinner was going back to John's room w/April (and Ang for a little while), so John could read to me. He wrote a book, and is writing his second, and he lent me the first one to read/proof/give suggestions that he's never going to follow anyway (lol), but I was taking too long to read it (HELLO...ENGLISH MAJOR). So he started coming over at night (well, he was doing that already), but when he came over he started reading it to me. He'd read like a chapter a night, sometimes two if we were both really into it, or the last night he finished the book he read like the last 4 or 5 lol...and finished it in about a week of days or so, I'd venture a guess. Approximately. And he has a second book that only has about 4 chapters so far, and it's on his computer (not printed out like the first one), so he's been reading that one to me since we finished the first one. I hesitated to get into the second book at first because it's unfinished. I didn't want to start it and not be able to get the whole story and an ending. I like stuff that has some kind of closure, even if the closure is you don't know exactly what happens...at least there's no more book left so you know it's the end as far as they're going to tell you. But John said that reading a chapter to me every couple days or so would force him to write so that he'd have something to read to me. So it would be good for him too because he'd finish the second book because he'd know I'd want more of the story every few nights. Aaanyway, we've been reading for maybe about a week or so, I guess, maybe a little longer, but it's only been 3 chapters so far into the second book. (And it's so good, seriously. The most bad-ass villain EVER is going to come back, and I'm not sure the Knights will be able to save the continents this time!!!!) But I got a chapter this afternoon earlier after dinner, and then visited Rob P. at the desk on his shift, and then John wanted to read to me more, so I went over after I finished my WW paper around 11PM or so, I guess. And he read chapter 3. Good twist and the ending left my blood cold and wanting more story lol. Got in a little cuddle, even though it's really too hot to do much comfortable cuddling (more like just lying there w/John's arm thrown over me lol), but that was nice, and then I thought I'd come back and get some sleep in my own bed because I work 4-6AM. But it's like 2AM now, and I won't get much sleep if I do go to sleep...But I really should because I have Dieruff obs. and night class today. I should get some sleep.
On another note, Chris says I can have my ex-boyfriend back. Wonder why...

And I have discovered Breaking Benjamin. Anyway, I don't know why I bother writing in here any more. I sound like a goofus, seriously. I read over a lot of past entries, and really now...All I do in here is talk about boys. I didn't think I was one of those girls, ick! What I need to do is just delete this whole site. I actually considered it. And I wondered if there were any reasons to keep it. And really...No, there aren't. And there's no need to remember any more any of the guys I talked about in here really. 'Cause this web site journal thing that nobody reads really is pathetic. I was going to say "...when you think about it." But you really don't have to think about it that hard. I doubt I'll update this any more. Maybe if I ignore it for another year it will just expire.
