on a rock, by the river

well things have already been busy since i've been home.

thursday night, stephanie, kelly and i went to see the midnight premiere of Angels and Demons.



I've read all the books and am a self-professed fan/obsessor, and i have to say that A&D was soooooo much better than Da Vinci Code. Much faster paced and my jaw dropped at least half a dozen times. i might go back to see it in theaters again, and i am defnitely buying it. oooh, it might be out on dvd by the time my birthday rolls around. b-day gifts, anyone?? ;)

friday sucked. i woke up with a headache. tried to shrug it off, but it didn't work and i just felt worse. one of those that makes you sick to your stomach, it's so bad? yeahhh. so i fell asleep on the living room floor for about two hours, and then went back to bed until about 5:30. thankfully the second time i woke up it had gone away. watched caddyshack and groundhog day that evening... not too eventful.

saturday, i FINALLY got my hair cut. finally. mom and i ran some errands, cause we have to get invitations out for my brother's fiancee's bridal shower. got groceries, and just happened to stop into Dick's because my mom wanted a Cav's shirt. i decided to get a new baseball glove, because my old one is teeny, like a youth glove, and the leather is cracked, and there's zero padding left, so whenever i catch a ball it smacks in there and hurts. jessica called and asked if i wanted to do dinner, because she was on her own, so we went to the library, picked up kelly and then went to subway. yum. then we decided to go to the park because we wanted to swing. me, being the smartass, decided to try to take a picture with the timer of all of us on the swings... i had only ten seconds to get back on my swing after setting the camera up on the playground... and smartie me is oh so graceful and completely biffs it into the ground. we got it on camera.



at least i can provide some entertainment. the picture cracks me up every time i see it. sliced my finger pretty well on the chain of the swing, though, i can't bend it very well right now. hurts like a bitch. the day turned into a full-fledged rendezvous/adventure/hike down to the river and waterfall. i'm really happy somebody repainted the pink floyd rock, even though you can't see it very well from the picture.



and of course the waterfalls always provide entertainment. i prefer the west falls to the east falls, actually, because i like the path it takes to get there and i like the bridge. even though the east falls are a lot bigger, i dunno, i just like the others better.



today was church of course... i got asked to fill in to play handbells again, not that i mind. i won't be able to make it to practice on tuesday though because alumni band is having a practice to march in the memorial day parade. after church, my brother and i went out to the racetrack because they were having a points race and he got free tickets. took our uncle and cousin along. it was quite enjoyable. i missed the roaring of nitro and burning rubber. i felt kind of wierd though because i was the only girl in all these guys. talk about awkward.

the high school prom was this weekend... i can't believe it's been a year. it feels like we just did prom!! and appreciation day is this weekend. i still have reservations about going to it, but i guess i'll have to get over myself because i think there are a few people who would kill me if i didn't show up.

i have a few things planned for this week, but nothing major. i really need to clean more of my room. i donated three huge bags of clothes to the salvation army yesterday, cause i cleaned out my closet. needed a place for all those clothes i took to college! i'm thinking of buying some bookcases or setting up my cubes, because i need someplace to put the books that i'm amassing from school.

speaking of school! i just checked my grades again and i am SO pumped!! i got A's in everything except theory (B+) and religion (B)!!!! my gpa is up to 3.64. i'd say that's pretty damn good for my first year of college, eh? kind of just reaffirms that i'm making the right choice and following the right path. though there are still some things i struggle with... i feel for the overwhelming majority of my life things might work out okay.
