A small snipit I found from my old folders
I did not know how much therapy I was going to need from Ben & Jerry’s….
If that’s my therapy I need substantial help for a new food outlet. At least I’ve switched to sorbet and wine!

Snow.
When I write, it’s mostly stream of consciousness, but at other times it is so I don’t forget this skill. I know I’m not a great writer or even a good writer, but I enjoy the therapeutic tapping of keys and how with every tap a letter that eventually leads to a word and then soon my original thought can appear before my eyes much quicker than my pen and paper can. I like that...
No sleeping in today.
“Complaining only makes the girl more tired,” I heard my grandma say one time about me. I was an infamous complainer in my family. I was hurt, and I knew that complaining wasn’t nice. My mother told me I would have been the richest in our family had I received a nickel for every complaint out of my mouth. So, hurt and actually napping a room away, I vowed to stop. I...
My two front teeth
Until I was in the 8th grade, I had a fairly large space in my two front teeth. I thought it was okay as such a young kid, but needless to say once I reached the first awkward years of puberty, I was a self-conscious, glasses-wearing nerd who knew her teeth did not help with the looks. I wasn’t adorable, I wasn’t average. In fact, I was unique and I knew it.
I got braces in 8th...

I don’t know what I was expecting when I decided to be a substitute, but I know it wasn’t this. For any teacher who teaches at any inner city school, may God bless you because you have or at least or honing the skill of compassion and patience. I have the compassion to give but just this year. No more for me once I’m done in May. That will be a fact, too. Good night world....

I need a job.
As of May 8th, 2010, I am a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. The next big event to happen will be Argentina, but I have a bit before I leave. But, with the recent developments in my work area, which was Blue Rooster, I need a new job. I can’t wait much longer either, and I’m now going on about 2 months without a job. Yeah, I can’t wait any longer, because...

So, it’s 5:46 pm, and after my Impressionism class today watched a bootleg of a - well, I guess documentary - named Becoming Van Gogh my teacher gives three important lessons that are worthwhile to learn from this tape. I dont receall the other two as clearly, but the first will stay with me for awhile. She called the writer of the essay read a slut of a historian. After class we...

Right now it’s 9:39 and I have been up since 8:38. I have successfully had a mini workout, breakfast, shower, and a postsecret moment while jamming out to the Pixies and Weezer. I have a lot to do today and I can already tell it’s gonna be productive!
In the fall...
I think there is a good possibility I’m going to live in Argentina for awhile.
It’s what I’ve wanted for a long time, but now I am scared to even think about it…thrilling, huh?
Graduation
I get to graduate in three weeks. It’s a strange yet exhilarating feeling. I’d say I would do a cart wheel but my foot is in a boot. Hmmm…

Random
I’m up at an unseemly hour although I’m excused from work, but why? Eh, because I’m still five and trying to defy my bedtime.
Thought. I still admire many more of my high school friends than I do of my friends from college. I may no longer speak to them but I can’t help but stalk them (through facebook of course) and think to myself, goodness, they have lived such great...

We are expecting another snow fall tonight beginning somewhere around midnight.
I’ll like it if it gets me out of school :)

I definitely have pushed myself too far this time. I halfway collapse/ hyperventilate in step show practice only to burst into a fit of tears, and to top it off, I get a bloody nose when I arrive home.
I know I’m busy, but I have wanted to do Step Show since I was a freshman. Three years have passed and now I have my chance. I’m not going to let it by, and if it means taking...
Last Semester, yes!
I started classes yesterday. It is going to be terribly busy but honestly, I can’t wait! I have been craving for this moment and I don’t want to mess any of it up. I hope it’s a successful semester. I’m pretty positive it will be, too :)
I need a vacation. I may be just going off of break but I need an escape out of town for awhile to clear my head. And a good venting session. With a good cry. And a good book. Oh, and especially a good run would feel amazing right about now.
Please, just get me through peacefully. Bed time calls.
Did Monday morning hit you like a ton of bricks?
I’ve been up since 8 am. I know, that doesn’t sound early but to the recuperating student who doesn’t want to wake up early on her winter break, it is.
This semester consists of me getting up at 5 am every Tuesday and Thursday and possible Friday at times to tutor in Nashville. AND Monday Wednesday I will have a class at 8 for weight training to immediately follow by a trip to...
It's January....BRRRR!!!!
I went swimming today. Oh yeah, it was cold when I left the gym, but I sure do love indoor pools. They are the best!!!!
Legs
My legs seem to not be very happy with me as of now. They are still recuperating from my ‘fail’ class on Monday. I’ve still been running but I don’t know how to apologize to my legs for their tortured state. One day they will no longer hurt and I will not have to worry about the lactaid acid build up from doing bajillions of squats. The next time they will probably feel...
Reason 5,457,347,869,321 on why I should go back to Europe, specifically Spain. Running with the Bulls. Crazy, yet so enticing to me!
Training
I began my training in December but I have slacked for a good two weeks. Basically, I’m beginning over. Today, my friend and I went to a class at MTSU’s rec center, I think it was Butts, Kicks, and Abs, or something on that behalf. Anyway, we got half way through the 30 minute class and had to come to a stop when I began to see spots and nearly fainted and she lost her stomach. ...
COLD
I don’t remember Tennessee being this cold. It’s 25 right now in Murfreesboro.
I kinda sorta like it though. Just not in my house!!!!

Settling.
I convinced my mom and dad to cook spaghetti last night. The only reason being so I could have leftovers. I love spaghetti leftovers!
I got my haircut today. Bangs are back. They’re banging…I couldn’t resist. And now I’m eating spaghetti. I love the simple pleasures in life :)

So this is Christmas
It has been wonderful. Joyful. Spirited. Loved.
And I even saw a flurry or two!
Next year may be the most different Christmas of them all considering I’m graduating in May, so I am more than thankful to have such a great family and friends to celebrate this one with this year. Oh, Merry Christmas to you all, too!
Work tonight!
It could not have gotten any worse. I just pray that when I arrive on Saturday everything was worked out and I can actually make some money. Otherwise, I just want to cry right now. But, instead, I’m going to get ready to go home to my family in Nashville. Oh, I can’t wait to see my city :)

Let's talk of today
So, I know I am not a frequent blogger, and don’t have many people who read this, but honestly, it’s almost more relaxing that way. Why? It’s not an appeal of being a journal because I don’t write on here what I think would upset people or arouse a curiosity from someone I know. It’s almost an experience such as talking to a stranger on the elevator or while in the...

sneezes
I just sneezed up to 8 times if not more in a row. It’s 245 in the morning. I’m tired.
But, I can’t help but sing :)…and sneeze.
Fall Semester
It’s over officially at 920 today. I’m super excited and can taste freedom in the air. But, then again, today I am chaperoning a school field trip at Opry Mills. Sixty Antioch Middle School students running freely through a mall…. I’m a bit frightened!
I think I’m moving on. And it’s a great feeling fo shizzle.

I’m so excited! I can’t wait! It’s super beautiful! And my best friend is my date! It’s gonna be such a fun night!!!
paper number 2
I’ve begun. I’m three paragraphs in, beginning my fourth. I’m having a writer’s block and my eyes are heavy.
Wednesday, get here now, PLEASE!!!!
People are like art exhibits.

A shallow person stumbles in and labels all the paintings on display “Messy” or “Meaningless,” but if you stare at the images long enough you can see that they’re filled with great power and passion as well as intelligence.
Just like people.
sneezes
i’m finishing up my gaudi paper with a multitude of sneezes. i have sneezed at least 6 times and i feel a seventh coming my way.
well, maybe an eighth will end my paper!
I’m writing my paper on Antonio Gaudi to go along with my presentation I gave last Wednesday.
I also have an American Art paper where I will be comparing the revival movements between Europe and America. That has to be 15 to 20 pgs longs.
Then for Wednesday I have a paper due for Age of Chivalry. That one is still very much blank in my mind, yet I have my materials. It has to be around...
Dance with me.
Dancing with arms reaching towards the heavens, she skipped, jumped, twirled relentless to the feeling of her feet numbing in the soft earth. No rhythm existed in her steps yet her movements were musical on their own. With her eyes shut, and her face reflecting the sun’s brilliance, she continued her unknown pattern with the only cares being that she knew God wouldn’t let go and leave her to...

I’m writing a paper my teacher misplaced. I’m not in the greatest of moods anymore.

Family.
I’m pretty sure I deserve an F for Family Relations. Since I’m already upset, I purposely chose to lash it out on my father. There was no reason, he was only loving me unconditionally as he always does. But, what did I do? My intentions succeeded and I hurt him.
The only conclusion that comes from it is that I hurt myself by seeing him upset, too. It’s only a damn painting...
