"Here's a little heart for you, Up above the world, Up above it all"

So I'm taking the phrase "I get by with a little help from my friends" literally for the next year. I really don't know how i'm going to be able function without Emily and Jackie busting in and falling asleep on my bed or having to walk like freaking half a mile down the hall to visit Mary. I love them, with my whole heart. I can't believe the friends that I have found here at SWU. I had such a hard time in High School finding really good friends, that it is super SUPER hard to leave the wonderful friends I have here. All Mary had to say was "you are one of my best friends" and i was gone. She was the last person to leave for Christmas break and as many times as she said, "now don't go to your room and cry", I did. Actually I balled. Like super hard. And now this daggum hall looks like a creepy insane asylum from some horror movie. So I'm chilling in Gracie's room. The lovely girl who offered me her food and room for the day. Love her. end of story lol. The Chicken Noodle Soup was awesome by the way. Just what I needed. You girls have been the inspiration to everything I do on a daily basis, the "wind beneath my wings". Sounds cheesy, I know but its true. And the next year, the next semester is going to be SO hard. Not trying to be selfish or anything, but I am leaving some of the best people in the world to go home to who knows what. What I'm trying to say, is you all had BETTER keep in touch because there will be, I can assure you multiple, tearful, possibly sobbing, phone calls to you guys when I am frustrated with the lovely, yet extremely dysfunctional family i will be living with at home. I love them, no doubt, but hey, friends are God's way of apologizing for Family, right? But I know that I can't do it alone, so I'm asking you all, as my best friends to make sure I stay sane next semester, cuz otherwise I will seriously go crazy without you all. I love you guys to pieces and I WILL see you all during spring break, whether it is mine or yours!

I Hate exams...

Especially the ones that I study real hard for and then it ends up being different stuff.
First of all its pathetics... i mean aesthetics, which is boring in itself. But all the information was about different periods of art and stuff and i learned the details about the parts of each period. The exam on the other hand was about each of the periods as a whole. F.M.L.
Classes this semester majorly sucked. Like MAJORLY!!! Hopefully next semester at FSCJ will be better... 6 days! :)

oo and listen to this idea... I haven't told my best friend that i'm coming home in January yet... hehehe... so for christmas i'm gonna give her a card with a printed version of my FSCJ schedule... and i'm just gonna watch her reaction... I can't wait!!! :D

"Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time..."

OK so i'm not exactly sitting on a dock of a bay, but i am most definitely wasting time...
here's a little funniness i found whilst browsing the Blogging world...

APARTMENT for RENT
THIS IS TOO FUNNY ...

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the night with her for $500. Morning before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but he would have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment 'RENT FOR APARTMENT.'

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing that the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a check for $250 and enclose the following typed note:

'Dear Madam:

Enclosed find a check for $250 for rent of your apartment . I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was under the impression that:

#1 - it had never been occupied;
#2 - there was plenty of heat; and
#3 - it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home.

However, I found out that:

#1 - it had been previously occupied,
#2 - there wasn't any heat, and
#3 - it was entirely too large.'

Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check f or $250 with the following note:

'Dear Sir:

#1 - I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely.
#2 - As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on.
#3 - Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the management.

So, Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady...

"Cuz I'm only me when I'm with you!"

I'm sitting in Java with Mary. I love her to pieces. Definitely gonna miss her bunches next semester! :(
Here's a few things to remember next time you are thinking about. Shout out to my BFFs! Mary, Jackie, Emily, Marina, Karina, Gracie, and Ebus! I love you all! <3

"Remember amateurs built the ark - Professionals built the Titanic."

Emily got me addicted to Leilockheart... you guys should check it out. But not if you have homework or stuff to do because you will be on there forever.

Anywho here is some fun stuff I found on the site :) Enjoy!

"Life is an Awful, Ugly place to not have best friend."

Jackie and Emily are whores... they made me cry. Again.

I've basically told everyone that i'm leaving and so far i've been pretty good at holding back Niagra Falls... leave it to my neighbors to write their own blog posts with the power to destroy the damn dam...

And this whole thing makes me feel so dag-gum loved. It's nice to be loved. By friends especially. I mean it's kinda assumed that you love your family and that they love you... or at least i hope so. But Before coming to SWU i had only a few really good friends, and you know who you are :). Now i've got too many friends to know what to do with. Seriously! It has basically taken a whole week to break the bad news to all these wonderful people! And there is still more! I don't know how I can do it!
I mean I think back to the first few people I met here at SWU during orientation and everyone since then that has changed my life in so many ways. I was going to write a big, huge long list of names that have really made a difference, but I would be here ALL NIGHT. But basically I have met my wonderful friends as SWU in the past year and a half, many in the past few months, and they have all become my brothers and sisters. I love you all with my whole heart.

SWU has some pretty lame activities, but the Christmas dinner is an exception. I think i've got enough pictures of you all to last a life time. Either in front of the Christmas tree or 4 random shots 5 seconds apart with crazy props and such. haha that guy was fantastic. Don't worry i'll add a few samples of the night soon :D

but in the mean time i have an exam tmoro, and i'm exhausted... Goodnight World!

"We may only have tonight, But till the morning sun you're mine, all mine. Play the Music low, and sway to the Rhythm of Love."

I told everyone I was leaving last night.

Needless to say I think i depleted my body of all the tears that have been stored for the past 19 years. It sucks to have to leave amazing friends, but you gotta weight the pros and cons. I've been doing that for the past month, well actually a little more than that. More like almost all semester. But when i think about how much more opportunity there is at home compared to Central, South Carolina, the choice was kinda obvious. All the athletes had to attend some lecture thing the other night about careers and figuring out your future. Basically the message I got was, you need to be somewhere that you have connections and contacts. JACKSONVILLE. A place where you know people and they know you. JACKSONVILLE. Every single thing he said had this huge blinking red sign that read JACKSONVILLE! SWU is not a biology school. Yeah they have some awesome professors, but it just isn't conducive to what I want to accomplish. In one conversation my dad got me an internship with an anesthesiologist at a hospital. Where in Central, SC are you gonna be offered that?!?!

And then there is this whole other family issue. Dad will be in Texas for a year. Mom is taking my brother to doctors in Colorado and at Duke. Being home relieves so much stress on my parents and gives someone else for my brothers to annoy... can't wait for that one. NOT! But it is what's best for everyone. and for the past year and a half i've been using a butt-load of hard earned money that my parents had. It is SO much cheaper to be instate! 3 kids in private schools puts a bit of a beating on the checkbook, let me tell ya...

Oh and I just have to say it... i'm gonna be only 30 min max from the beach! :D that's right be jealous, like super jealous! lol

Shout out to my loves! Jackie, Emily, Gracie, and Mary. If your big 'ole butts aren't in Florida sometime in the next 6 months we are going to have some issues! :D <3
