1:18 pm	2 DAYS TO GO!!! I went to florida expecting a nice tan and lots of pool time, didn't happen. The perfect lay by the pool day came the day I left. So I got to watch it fly by as I sat in the car on an 18 hour drive home. Then we also had to drive right by school...and I'm really miss that place...since it is home now. But Thursday I will be back there with all my girls...yay!!! Even though I came back pale as ever, I did bring back a palm tree, which will be living in my dorm with me. That makes me a very happy girl... because I'm a freak. Other than that, it's cold and I'm in peru. I'm ready to leave. Current Mood: geeky (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:05 pm	Not too smart... I got really bored last night and I couldn't think of anything to do to keep myself entertained. I decided that since I have this crazy candy stash in my room that I guiltily (or not so much) indulge in, I ought to exercise. So I went out for a pleasant 20 minute run. Well at the 20 minute mark, my knee brace decided to come undone on the top but like a genius, I didn't want to stop so I left it that way. 20 minute run ended up becoming an hour long run, at that point I had to stop myself. So I decided that I am now a crazy person who enjoys running that long for no apparent reason. This morning I woke up and discovered that my knee hurt. It didn't bother me too much until I went to martial arts where we did a lot of things that put stress on your knees. I was thrilled. But I did it all and sucked it up, like a good girl. So now that result is that I am a crazy girl with hurting knees. But damn was I proud that I could actually run like that!!! If only you knew what I was like with running this summer...you would understand. So that was my big triumph for the week, yay!!! Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)

7:14 pm	Look at how well the homework is coming.... discover what candy you are @ quiz me (Comment on this)
6:15 pm	Exhausting two weeks... I would like to take this time to count back to 2 weeks ago. Let's look at how pathetic my schedule has been since then (but very enjoyable as well!). October 21-25: Peru October 25-27: Hanover College October 27-28: San Diego, CA October 28-29: Indianapolis October 29-November 3: Hanover College November 2-3: Indianapolis November 3-4: Hanover College November 4-6: Indianapolis November 6-current: Hanover College I think I need to learn how to stay put a little more. But, I must say, I have enjoyed every minute of it. And I think every trip (besides Peru and returning to Hanover) has been spontaneous. But that makes it all the more interesting, doesn't it? So now I am made fun of around here all the time because, no one expects me to be around ever. Which kind of sucks in a way....but not really. It was all worth it. It was worth all the driving and planning and complications. I hope I am lucky enough to be able to live my life by what my heart says in the future. All of this was just what I felt was being honest with my heart, and I am grateful that I could follow it all as I did. Everyone should be able to live in such a way. I'm glad that I was encouraged to do so in this situation, told that it was okay. It was a very good lesson I learned. Time to go do homework now, just in case a spontaneous trip comes my way :) Current Mood: pleased (Comment on this)

8:18 am	I love the funny looks :) Until last night, it had not been decided if I was going to go out to California or not today. I love how strangely people look at you when they ask you if you want to go to various places over the weekend and you say "I really don't know if I can, I might be in Cali". That has a tendency to throw people off just a little bit. I greatly enjoy it. But it was decided that I am going to go and I get to watch Paul graduate from boot camp. I am very excited! I wasnt' going to go because Paul has to pay for it and it costs a small fortune, but I was about in tears when I thought that I wouldn't be able to go. Wayne could tell I was quite upset over the phone and told me to go, he said if he had to, he would pay for part of it, if not all. So....I'M GOING TO CALIFORNIA!!!! I am nervous though, I haven't seen Paul since July 31st, that is crazy. It was almost feeling like life would always continue this way. I would write letters everyday at 10 am and run to my mail box promptly at 11 am every morning to send his letter out and hopefully go to my box, praying that there would be something from him. But now, I will see his face and hear his voice. It is a mind-blowing thing, really. And I get to watch him proudly graduate as a Marine. I'm excited. But I have a lot of strategic packing to do, so I am off to pack and then on my way to Cali! Oy, that is weird. I feel so adventurous!! Current Mood: excited (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:02 am	My brain might explode today... Today is where the bad part of college becomes obvious. Due to the fact that Paul will be graduating from boot camp later this week (yay!!!!!!!!!!), I must finish as much homework ahead of time as humanly possible. I figured that since I have not seen him in forever, I would prefer to not be doing homework when he visits. This means that I will be doing about a week and a half or more worth of homework over the next couple of days. Grrrr. Today I plan on reading The Analects and Tao Te Ching, no offense, but I'm really not that interested in Chinese culture, so this could be incredibly boring as well as confusing to read (I read part of the intro and I'm already lost). Then I must write a paper about something with the Bible, not that I have any idea what to write about it (and the topics we have suck). I have to read a million pages from the most boring history texts I have ever seen in my life as well. Luckily, spanish does not have a decent syllabus so I can't do anything there until she gives me the assignments. I never thought that I would be pleased with how lazy my professor is. So that would be the highlights of the work I have ahead of me today. And of course, in true me fashion, I am procrastinating right now. I love being a diligent student. But I must get to work or this will bite me in the ass at 3 am tonight when I am still up reading. Good day to all and wish me luck!!! Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)

5:22 pm	Chillin until food time I had my lovely midterm today for my "favorite class", Modern Society: Diversity and Difference, which I am praying I can maybe get a C on! I have decided it's time to reevaluate the study habits. I went to the wonderful book store today and bought a bunch of notecards. I realized that with the ridiculous amount of crap they make me read (which I determined I may actually need to READ sometimes lol) that I should probably take notes over all of it rather than rush through to hit up another game of pool or catch that group movie time. Oy, I will miss those nights. But I guarantee, even if it means I am up all night, I will still experience those AT LEAST once a week. I can't handle the antisocial. So I sat out at the point, one of the most amazing places in the world, I'll let you know, and did homework for a good 2 hours. I am a mighty tired girl after that, since I was actually pretty diligent with it. So I had more to say but it's time for dinner and I am feeling voracious today!!! More later (I hope), hasta!!!

11:48 pm	I have returned! I guess I have ditched the good old Livejournal for the all new facebook! Which, of course, gets much of its popularity due to the fact that you can only get on it with entering college. Well, that isn't true anymore, but it was mondo-ly exciting for a short time. That and my roommate and I were in a friend war, which I am still in the lead of, mind you. Hmmm I'm not sure what else there is to say. A ton has happened since I last wrote on here and it has been one amazing experience. I had a great time today sitting out at the point and doing my homework (or excitedly using my phone, since it manages to pick up a kentucky tower there). My friend joined me for a good 3 hours. We had an excellent time talking. However, I should have been studying for my midterms, because I will fail mine tomorrow. I'm not the least bit excited about this. But I figure I have breaks between classes, I can work some stuff in then...right?? One day I will learn how to avoid this issue, perhaps by learning the material.... Another genius move of mine was putting off my paper that was due today until about 7:30. I emailed it in a 11:19, so I was 40 minutes early. Not too bad I must say. Who can really expect more of me? My favorite story of the day is about spanish. My friend and I had to take this situation in which there was a car accident between she and I and make a skit. However, she had no insurance and I had no seatbelt on and I broke my leg. Honestly, if I broke my leg, I would not be chatty, so I wasn't in the skit. My professor was not too happy with us and now we must do another version in class tomorrow. Yay for honesty. The summary of this is: COLLEGE ROCKS (despite certain difficulties)! There are too many stories and too many people to get it all covered. I suppose I will have to pick up from here later on. But one announcement before I go. Since it is now 12:04, I will be seeing paul in merely 9 days! It's hard to believe. WHEW!!! Everyone better be rockin the world, I expect the best from all of you. Much love, Kris Current Mood: complacent (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:11 am	work work work I got to thinking a couple of days ago about how weird this entire summer has been. Granted, never before have I had a pregnant sister, newlywed mother, and been preparing to go to college, but that's besides the point. It's like a really slow transition taking place, a lull between the familiar and the next step, a brief time to stop and look around at what has been and say last goodbyes. Of course I don't get that lovely time either, I work too much. It's quite aggravating, but still kind of fun. I will have worked 11 days straight before getting a day off. But at the same time, my savings is growing, and I discovered I love the bank now, it keeps bringing me good news (which will be ending come september, I'm sure). Anyway, this was yet another pointless post because I need to sleep and get up at the crack of dawn. Yay responsibilities!!! Goodnight all! Current Mood: complacent (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:59 pm	something crazy This whole being out of school thing has been really cool, but I have been working my ass off. I spetn all day yesterday doing stupid errand stuff and applied for a second job today as well as requested more hours at work. Since school ended, I worked a double at work (I had to be there for 12 1/2 hours!!!) and have agreed to take a couple other days. I would think that this would look good to any parent. So I went out tonight after I got home (of course no one was here) and Paul came over so we could walk/jog so I can get in shape for soccer. Well I get home and my mom is here so I get the lecture about doing work. I'm not sure where it is coming from that I do nothing with my life. I'm sure this weekend will be interesting too. Paul's dad will be coming from north carolina and my mothers fiancee is already not fond of him. I had put him in my cell phone as "dad" and wayne decided to take my phone (it was suppose to be a punishment i think) and searched through my phone book and then said how much it hurt him to see that. since when does that matter to him??? I'm getting tired and bored on here so to sum it up, people are assholes and I'm sick of it. Goodnight. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:27 am	the stuff the others did... Your #1 Match: ENFP The Inspirer You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends. You are also unconventional, irreverant, and unimpressed by authority and rules. Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives. You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're qutie the storyteller! You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist. Your #2 Match: ENTP The Visionary You are charming, outgoing, friendly. You make a good first impression. You possess good negotiating skills and can convince anyone of anything. Happy to be the center of attention, you love to tell stories and show off. You're very clever, but not disciplined enough to do well in structured environments. You would make a great entrpreneur, marketing executive, or actor. What's Your Personality Type? (Comment on this)

9:32 pm	thinking... The end of the year has been beyond exciting for me for quite some time (just as it has for most students, especially seniors). However, I was driving home from work last night, thinking about how great all of this is going to be, and it finally hit me that it isn't all good. There are a million things (it seems) that I will miss. As I was saying to Barbie earlier, it is just insane to believe that we have been working on this moment for the last 12 years, and it is FINALLY here. That is a long time. Aside from that, we all know that we will not see all of eachother anymore. There are even some teachers I will miss. The greatest shock was realizing what will be happening to Paul and I. I always knew what was coming, but it didn't seem real. He will be traveling around the world doing his thing while I'm away at college. I won't be able to pick up a phone and call him anymore. I won't turn around when something is upsetting me and lean on him. I will be entirely on my own. I have spent a great deal of time with him and he has become a huge part of my lfe, and it simply can't be the same anymore. The biggest part was that what I have with him now, after this summer, it will never be the same again. There is no way that it can be. It will all change, and even if we do stay together, there is absolutely no possible way for us to go back to just as we are now. And maybe that's a good thing, but I have grown fond of the way things are. It is amazing to think of how great the changes coming really are. It's almost impossible to comprehend. All of it brings about a really interesting feeling, a confusion between anticipation and excitement. It's like being a little kid at an amusement park again. There are way too many things in my head to explain it. I just want to wish all the seniors the best in what they are pursuing. We are taking a huge step now, our lives are laid out for us to mold. Let's rock the world! Current Mood: contemplative (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:29 pm	bittersweet weekend Saturday was an excellent day. I got up early (which kinda sucked) and went to Paul's house. We then went over to Ms. Ginger's house where an excellent breakfast was finishing being made. We spent a few hours there "working hard". Really it was just a bunch of fun and a little work done here and there. Then Paul and I left and went out to a Marine picnic, where I was burned like crazy. However, it was a blast. I had a great time being with Paul and hearing all the great things people thought of him. Then it was off to his house, the sun was making me tired. So I napped and he made chicken for us (for me but I made him eat some). After that, we were off to my house and we made cheesecake together. Then it was back to Ginger's to work, but no working happened. So we spent time out by a bonfire until the night was over. The next day began alright. The getting up was horrible but the rest was decent. Then I got a table which acted entirely horirble and angered me beyond belief. I went and paid for their ticket (which is NOT a part of my job, by the way)and these 2 girls waited for me to finish and took all the money (which over half was not theirs) and there was nothing on the table. So basically they lied to the guys they were with and stole their money and mine as well. I was pretty pissed after that and fumbled a bit at other tables. It made me upset/angry and I guess everyone could tell. Apparently I went off the deep end because all the people asking if I was alright just made me freak out until I was crying which made me more angry because I hate being like that. It was awful. Finally, my managers let me go early because I was going insane. Naturally, I went to see Paul and he did the baby-ing thing and made me feel a little better. Then he came over to my house for a few hours, even though I worked on homework with Michael. So it ended and began alright and the middle was just an annoying thing where I felt like I was being pushed too far. I hate days like that. Especially when people assume they know what you are upset about. Anyway, I really don't want to go back tomorrow, I know there will be more questions that I don't want to answer and looks I will be angered to receive. But there is only so much you can do. I should have just sued the company when I had the chance. Grrr. Current Mood: sleepy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:29 pm	its really ending! Today was the first day that it really felt like high school is ending. My paper was finished and turned in, the very last paper I will ever have to write in high school. That rocked my socks off. I also came home and had nothing I had to do (besides go to the bank, but banks are good). It is an amazing feeling! I wasted away an entire day doing what I felt like doing. That involved a lot of cookies, yummmmmm. So this is it, all the trivial high school assignments are done forever. Just a few more things to finish up and this will all be in the past. Geez that is a crazy thought, but thankfully it isn't coming any later. I have had enough of it all. But now I must finish my day of doing what I want with some candles, music, and incense. I love this!!! Oh yes, and to make today more perfect, there was actually lightning. EXCELLENT!!! Time for happy girl to go do happy things. Bye! Current Mood: happy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:22 pm	yay english! Like most people in my english class are probably (hopefully) doing, I am avoiding writing my paper right now. This thing is driving me nuts. I think I have doomed myself to failure because I talked to Mr. Conner and Mrs. Costello (mainly because of Mr. Conner) about it. I was trying to get Paul to come up with an intro for me so I was attempting to explain my paper to him and then I realized while doing this that I don't even know what it is about. So I was taking parts of it and trying to explain but I kept confusing different things I had discussed with Mr. Conner between the million times he changed my topic. I did try to clarify it all today but he is the master of evading questions so I never did get an answer. So here I am, the day before my paper is due, and I have no clue what I'm even writing about. This should be quite interesting (and FUN!!!). The great thing is, I don't really care. I completely stressed myself out today about the entire thing, beyond anything I have ever before (school-wise), and now I just don't care. I'm sure I will get it done no matter what..sometime tonight. And the more I put it off, the more I know it will get done when it starts to get late. It's magical to be a procrastinator. And when I do get it done, I'm pretty sure he will just slap on the usual grade like he seems to do for everyone. Here comes my B+...woohoo!!!! Current Mood: complacent (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:42 pm	My boy is wonderful!!!! With all of this end of the year pizazz (mostly college and english) I have been pretty busy lately. Okay, so a great deal of it is this nasty case of senioritis. The result was that I have not been able to spend much time with Paul and it's kind of dragging on both of us. Thankfully, I do get to talk to him on the phone. Well, we had a great day yesterday. My day began with a phone call from Paul. He said good morning and then made fun of me for not being up and working on my paper. He made a rule that I had to have a certain amount of my paper done before I could spend time with him. So I got up and attempted to do it. He called periodically and checked on me....he knows me too well. At about 2:30, he picked me up and we headed out to Emily's recital. Regretibly, somehow I am dumb and got information crossed and it was already over when we got there. But I did meet her sister and Emily looked beautiful in the dress she was wearing. We left and headed out to his house. With the extra time, we watched "A Series of Unfortunate Events" which was cute. I liked just laying with him and being entirely relaxed. He massaged my feet and rubbed my shoulders. When the movie ended, he headed to the kitchen and made me dinner. It was very cute to watch him cook. He was all nervous but it was delicious. We ate dinner while watching "Phantom of the Opera". After the movie ended, we headed outside and laid in his backyard, which has some woods behind it. We each saw a shooting star and talked about all sorts of things out there. Poor thing accidently laid in some water and was a bit chilly but he laid out there anyway to keep me happy. All in all, it was a fantastic night. I can't wait to have another like it. Current Mood: loved (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:43 pm	Beyond pissy To begin, I hate school. I don't want to write anymore stupid, mundane, completely non-essetial papers anymore. I've had enough of it, as well as teachers who think the ONLY thing in a student's life is freaking high school. But that's not what I'm really angry about. I went downstairs about 10 minutes ago to get a highlighter. I walked into the kitchen and my mom's fiancee decided that he had to tell me they were all pissed off because my dad is trying to sue my mom. I really didn't have anything to say to that, all I wanted was the f'in highlighter and some water. So then he tells me that as long as I remain associated with him, I have to pay the bills for everything he pulls like this. So to me that meant "if you don't let me adopt you, you are going to pay thousands of dollars to your father." Does that sound shitty to anyone else? Then he has the nerve to tell me that I pull crap like that on him. If only he knew all I have done to save his ass with my mother. I hate living like this. It is ridiculous how much anger I have and there is nothing I can do with it. I think this says some very bad things about him and I really want nothing to do with him again. GRRRR!

8:09 pm	I'm a loser I was trying to find the mood that said "stupid" or "dumb" but apparently it is nonexistent. That kinda bummed me out. This entire day I have been a complete moron. I spent way too long trying to figure out how to work this thing, but I'm going to blame it on the headache and early morning. Anyway, I really don't know this whole journal thing is good for me. I rant far too easily and I will undoubtedly sound like a moron...I seem to do that a lot. Okay, my mom FINALLY has returned, so I think I have to do the mother's day deal. Lucky for me (or whomever actually reads this) I have been cut short of rambling!!! Yay!! Let's all rejoice!! Hasta Luego. Current Mood: blank (2 Comments |Comment on this)
