| Soooooooooooooooooooooooo yea. This sucks.
But it should get better.
I hope.
School starts tomorrow, and our first tennis meet is today.
Chilling at Richard's house, and it feels very empty with him gone. Very very empty.
Gah. I think I'm going to try to head home soon, I really don't like it here right now.
Buhbye! | | |

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which
is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness?
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different
color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue Tuesday = Green Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie;
not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by
color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy
to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and
the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the
plastic clips have different colors. | | |
| Hey all!!!! I'm at SPEC!!! It's pretty cool, there are a ton of people here. I'm waiting for my first match to start, it's tennis at 1:30. Then I have a huge break and play softball at 7. This is a beautiful campus, it's Graceland university, in Lamoni IA. We're staying in the dorms.... and our room is the only not horrible hot one. :) We're amazing that way. The food here.... not so good. I miss my mom's cooking...... We had eggs this morning, OH MY GOODNESS disgusting. Not so good on the energy boosting, which we need a lot of. The day officially starts at 6:30 when breakfast starts. And lights out is at midnight. So it is a LONG day. And exhausting, in the heat and with the sports. But there is so many people here, meeting a ton of new friends. There is a lot of stuff to do, we have two classes in the morning, and then if your schedule permits it you may go to an afternoon class. But sports take all priority here. You sometimes can't even do the evening activities b/c of your game. Well, I should get going, I'm going to go hit with Zack and get ready for my match! (Richard, if your reading this, Zack is a friend I've known my whole life, no worries there! :) love) I miss you all! And I will see you in a week! | | |
| Gr...... I'm stuck inside, in a windowless office, and it's storming!!! I LOVE storms, and yet I can't even watch this one, and can only hear the big thunders. :( I'm ticked. And I don't get off for another hour. GR!
But on a brighter side, I leave for SPEC friday!!!!!!!! I'm so excited... I'm going to the QC friday to stay with a friend for the night, then off early to Graceland University!! I'll be playing tennis, softball, and pingpong. Tennis is the only one that I'm doing competitive in tho. But all of my camp friends will be there, and for some of them it will probably be the last time I ever see them. :( I'm thinking about that now tho.
Well let's see... What else to ramble about.... I've been crazy busy the past few days. Bible School is going on at my church, so I'm helping with that, band practice was monday, and then the Lincoln Memorial thing was last night. Also been hanging out a lot with my friends and Richard, since he leaves in 35 days. Going off to join the Guard... I'm very very proud of him, but I wish he could just stay near... not Georgia and then texas. Total, he'll be gone for about 8 months. Thank goodness I've got great friends!
I've also got a myspace now... It's really boring, I don't know how to do much with it. But if you want to check it out:

Well, buh-bye! | | |
| I'm home!!!! Yay!!! I had an amazing week. It was sooooooooooooooooooo great..... and I can't wait for SPEC in two weeks!!!! But right now, I'm glad to be home. I am EXHAUSTED. We did so much this past week, and it was very very emotional, or at least the last night was. I am wiped out. If you want to know more about it, I have a log.... and I could go on and on. SO I'm not putting any explaination up here, you'll get sick of me. I'm going now, if you want to talk.... you know my number! | | |
