so i know i suck at blogging. i have been thinking about doing it for a while now, but just never really got around to it. there has been so much going on it's unbelievable.
first off, the past couple of weeks have been hell. i have so much work to do for all my classes. i just look at the giant pile and have no motivation. i am still behind in my religion class, i think i have one or two assignments to still turn in. at least i talked to her - i was like, hey, i don't mean to be a slacker in your class but i have a ton of stuff and am really stressed out. she said i actually had a legitimate reason to be behind, unlike some people who just don't show up to class. i really am going to miss this religion class though - apart from the fact that it is an hour and a half long (which in my opinion is way too long to hold a class) and we talk about dense religious theory, half of which i can't pronounce (hermeneutics? i still don't know what that means...) i really do like it. i always leave with some new thought in my head, a slightly brighter look at God's world and a small little hope. same with my education class - dr. welker is a fantastic teacher and i have learned soooo much it's kind of crazy. i have a million handouts though.
anyway, i finally got to go home this weekend for easter. i left thursday afternoon after my trumpet lesson, so i got home around 4. (it's a three hour drive.) brenda came to east rec and we played softball for a little bit. man, it felt good to hit a line drive!! i don't remember the last time i tossed around a softball. jessica came over too, because i had some things of hers. she DROVE herself, since now she has a license and didn't tell me. this was only the beginning of the bizarre-ness. so we went to the library, i got to see kelly when she went on break. who walks up other than ashley and dudley, neither of whom i have seen since about this time last year. ashley didn't finish school and dudley graduated before me. so we got to b.s. around with them a little bit until kelly had to go back in to work. jessica and i went to mcdonald's cause i was hungry. we're standing in line waiting for my fudge sundae when this random person bear hugs me from behind. i'm like WTF until i turn around and realize that it's kristen eagle, who i haven't seen since, like, my sophomore year of high school! we played girls extreme football together freshman year, and she's a riot to hang out with. it was just really wierd to see her - the first day i'm back in elyria in like a month and she just happens to be at the same mcdonald's at the same time! so after i catch up with her a little bit, jessica takes me out to the mall so i can see the desolation happening there. we ended up spending like, an hour and a half inside the mall. i have NEVER done that in my life! i mean, this is the kid who walked to the LIBRARY everyday after school. i never hung out at the mall at all. but she and i walked around, went in a few stores, saw some clothes i liked but didn't buy because i'm poor, and ate more food. by this time, it was around 9, so jess took me back home and just spent the rest of the night lazing around.
friday was an interesting day also. i didn't do anything until about 2, when my cousin called me and told me she was picking me up. i was still in my pj booty shorts and tank top, mind you, so i leaped around the house trying to get ready. she took me to our grandma's, because she was doing laundry (she's a college kid too) and we caught up on a lot of stuff. i really miss her. we used to be really close when we were little. we went to church together on sundays and always went out to lunch afterwards, and i spent summers at her house and my grandma's playing all the time. and it's tough because she's going to be graduating from college this year, is looking for teaching jobs, and is starting to make her own life. it's kind of depressing, scary, exciting and amazing all at the same time. anyway, i spent some time with her and then jessica called and asked if i wanted papa john's pizza - hell yeah i did! so i went with her to eat food. she then dropped me off at stephanie's house, because we were having the traditional movie night/sleepover. it was brittany and stephanie's birthday this weekend, so we had a little cake and ice cream and snacks and stuff. brittany was so shocked that we had cake for her, lol. we watched twilight (woo...) and hard candy after brenda and jessica went home. holy crap, that movie is ridiculous!!!! the ending! gah!! brittany and i fell asleep on steph's floor. woke up and watched most of Yes Man, but i didn't get to see the end because my mom was coming to pick me up. she and i went to our friend's house because she was in town, so i got to see judy for a little while. then mom and i got some lunch and went shopping for easter. the night consisted of lazing about the house some more.
and easter was today. got up early to go to church. it was really nice to see everyone again. i didn't realize how much i would miss that - just a group of people that i am familiar and comfortable with and i get to see every week. it's just not the same when i'm here. firstly, i value my sleep too much. secondly, it's hard to get used to a new church and people and ways of doing things. blahhh. anyway, after church, we went to my grandma's for the traditional easter dinner. it was a little more informal this year because there weren't as many people there. i didn't even get to see my brother - he was with his girlfriend's family. it was still a good time however. i fell asleep on my grandma's living room floor, so i guess that's the seal of approval. around five thirty my parents and i left, i packed up my stuff and my mom and i made the trek back down here. we didn't get here until about 9. stupid holiday traffic. we always seem to get slowed down between mansfield and columbus. always! but anyway after we got past that spot of stop and go we got here in a relatively reasonable amount of time. got all my stuff unpacked... thank god i didn't have any homework due tomorrow. tuesday is a different story though - looks like i'll be spending some time in the hollenbeck computer lab. i like it there because i conveniently forget my headphones, so i can't listen to anything like youtube to distract me. and i actually (usually) get work done. unless brien is there, conquering his minions or singing some french song or something. :D i really do totally enjoy the company, though, brien!!!
so tomorrow i go back at it. only a month and i'm done for the summer, halleluia. hopefully i won't have many finals, and then i could be out even earlier! not that i have any plans for this summer, until july. brother's wedding... camping in canada... cousin's wedding... dave matthews band concert... my july is gone! but no, really, i can't wait for summer. hell, even if the weather was just WARMER, i would like things better. i just wanna wear shorts, i'm sick of jeans. hell, i'm sick of pants in general. but i don't think the greater population would particularly appreciate that. ah well...
so this is a really long blog. if you got this far through reading all of it, i applaud you. i even might have a piece of candy for you in my dorm room that you can have as a treat! awww, how cute!
oh man. starting to get slaphappy. this is not good. i must go to bed.
by the way, i don't think the timestamp on my blog is right. it's only 11:43, not 3am like it's been saying in the past. blah.
