springtimeeeee

It's springtime once again. The weather is great. The flowers are in bloom. School is just about out. And, I'm beginning to enjoy my favorite things about this time of year: baseball, tanning, being near the water, good times with friends, ice cream with sprinkles. =]
I find myself missing home a lot more than I thought I would. I miss the beach, my family, my friends, my favorite places, knowing where I'm going. I can't wait to get back there for a vacation... I did make my way down to Charleston a few weekends ago and had the time of my life! I got to see lots of old friends, and a few of the more recently made ones, and even made some new ones. Admittedly, there were a few rough moments [thanks, Jose] but, there were also some sweet ones. <3
I'm getting back on my training schedule for this marathon, or half-marathon as it may turn out to be. I'll have plenty of free time to train while I'm waiting for William to get out of school. Can't let that be lazy time! I'm going to try to keep up with this more as more and more is happening in my life... I know I've probably said that before, but, I'm really going to try.
until then.

end of the month updade, i guess

so, the running thing hasn't been happening lately. but, i'm for sure going to do some this weekend because the weather is supposed to be better. and, it's just depressing to run on the treadmill in the dark cold basement when spring is calling to me.
spring break was AMAZING. although, i didn't take a lot of pictures. i think that's probably better. because, i don't need evidence right?
i have been hanging out with rachel and stephanie like, nonstop and we've been having so much fun. hot tubbing, making koozies, batting cages, driving range, shopping, sleepovers, Silver Diner [yum], movies [dear john, valentine's day, alice in wonderland] and plans to do bunches more.
umm, yeah, school's going alright, i'm kinda ready for it to be over.
i'm crushing major on a certain someone who is just... confusing. but, i think he's really great.
and i had an interview today at a place called Champps, it's like, a sports bar thing. and, they have some dank chicken fingers & french fries. YUM. hopefully i get the job. i was pretty awesome at the interview!
i'm gonna try to get back on the program of running & posting. so, until next time.

hello, early spring?

Well, it's been a while, I know. But, I've had bunches going on and haven't had that much time to just sit and write. So, let's recap.
I started doing the running training for the 10k and the marathon in January. I have had a serious hate for running since like, forever. I'm pretty terrible at it. But, thank GOD it's getting easier as I go.
I've got new friends at school and we're having fun hanging out. Like, legit. We had an old school slumber party this weekend and everything.
I went to Charleston last weekend to surprise my mom for her birthday. It was really fun.
I'm waiting for spring break. I should be leaving for that Friday morning. I don't check in to where I'm staying until Sunday, but, I'll be spending the weekend with my friends and family in Charleston and going to a beach bonfire, birthday party, Brad Paisley concert, and doing lots more probably.
Also, I was driving Saturday afternoon & my car died. We'll see if it gets fixed this week. Here's hoping. I dunno what else to say right now.
I'm going to go and try to recover from whatever sickness it is i'm harboring right now.

Ash Wednesday

Today:
I'm giving up soda for Lent.
I'm going to the Ash Wednesday service at my church.
I'm going to my first meeting with the Science Club. I realize this makes me seem a little dorky, but, I'm okay with that.
I made an amazing grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Yum.
I finished the book I was reading.
I'm starting Dear John now.

and it's still early... maybe more later.

all my wishful thinking was wrong

so, this will probably be another post void of capital letters, just because, that little shift key gets tiring to hit after a long day. ha.
anyway, not much to tell. i've been reading a lot lately. because, i heard that you should always be reading something interesting. that's what i'm doing. there is nothing like curling up in bed with a good book. especially when there is snow falling outside. big biology test tomorrow. i don't think i'm nearly as ready as i should be. thank goodness it isn't until 2.
i hope everyone had a wonderful valentine's day. i will post about that later on. i am just way too sleepy tonight.

i know it's been a while, but...

there's only so much to talk about during snow days. it would bore me to read day after day about doing nothing because of being trapped in the house. so, i was trying to spare everyone.
let's see... i have a few things on my mind. and a headache from hell that's not helping.
1. i'm not overly excited about valentine's day this year.
2. it's hard to not have regrets when you feel like you should. especially over the bad things you knew you shouldn't be doing, but, you did anyway.
3. i can't wait until spring break. in one week, i'll be trying to fit in just about everything i love. we'll see if i can do that.
4. i miss my old friends. all of them. the middle school ones. the high school ones. the boys that always have your back. it's so hard finding good friends like those.
5. i am loving skype-ing with lots of people these days.
6. i love reading before bed. especially a great book like the one i'm reading now.
7. it's freaking cold outside these days. global warming what?
8. good music can chase the blues away. usually.
9. i'm hoping to finally get back to church on sunday. hopefully the weather will cooperate. then, it's fat tuesday, ash wednesday and lent. i'm so excited about all of this. except, i may miss the next sunday service due to some surprising things...
10. i am so thankful for everything these days.

"get right to the heart of matters, it's the heart that matters more..."

-until next time.

p.s. sorry i didn't capitalize everything. i just wasn't feeling the shift key.

So Gangster, I'm So Thug

I'm a little upset that I didn't do this yesterday. It wasn't like I didn't think about it. I did, I just got distracted.
Let's see what's happened so far today...
I got up, got ready, went outside & shoveled the snow around my car, then did the sidewalk and the walkway. What a therapeutic, productive work-out. When I got back home from the daily grind, I talked on Skype to one of my oldest and best friends, Courtney. She literally had me laughing until I cried. It was amazing. Oh, and I found out that during spring break, I'll be staying about two blocks away from where the first boy who really broke my heart is now working. So, that has me a little bit stressed. Hopefully, and in all probability, we won't see one another. But, then there's the little part of me that really wants to see him, and ask him things. I don't ever want to be mean to someone, but, I certainly don't want to be treated like I was either. But, spring break should be a pretty positive time. I'm rather excited otherwise.
Oh, and my friend W shipped out to Korea today for a year. Pray for him? Also, Courtney's husband is in the Navy and is currently out at sea in a submarine. Send some prayers his way, too.
Up next for the evening... dinner, jeopardy, american idol, then working out for a while. I'm glad I'm sticking with it. I'm super sore now, but, I know the pain is so worth it. Oh, yeah, and studying the bones in the human anatomy for tests next week. Yikes!
I hope whoever is reading this has had a good day.
