Only 2 more exams to go... its a bittersweet feeling, I'm ready to be finished with classes but I am not ready to leave the dorm life. Hard to believe I know, but I really love living in the dorm with all my lovely ladies!!! We have such great times, from decorating the halls for birthdays, partying it up, and breaking just about every rule we are given!! Living in the Schwitz isn't filled with only good memories, the administration of this building sucks, but shes a bitch and has no life so I guess we should give her a little bit of a break, lol. My room is basically empty which is sad. I miss my decorations and what not. Its very cozy in my room!! I got a ring from my boyfriend!! Its beautiful, I love it. Tomorrow is my friend Jenn's wedding rehearsal. I'm excited I have everything ready for the weeding except my shoes. I'm the tallest bridesmaid, go figure, the rest of them are able to go barefoot if they wanted... lol they arent but still, so I have to get shoes once I get home. Aaron's confirmation is Sunday, hes excited I'm sure, Mr. Biblical man himself... lol I have to come back to campus on Monday afternoon sometime to study for chem exam on tuesday, and then Tuesday my Mom, Nina, and Leanna are bringing the Yukon to get my mattress home and the frig. It is going to be sad. On the happy side, now that school is over I am going to Philly w/ my Nana to see my Claybe and Aunt Sara!!! I'm very excited about that as always... Ok, well I'm going to go to starbucks and get some hot tea, yummm to relieve my headache, thank you very much biology exam... lol

I got my nose pierced!!! Mallory and I went and did it yesterday, Bob went with us for moral support. lol He had to hold our hands, we were shaking and about to pee our pants... lol but it went really well, Mallory went first and I hid behind Bob's back while he held her hand so she could get her's done... lol then Mallory held my hand and he took pictures!!! Wow... it was a traumatic evening, but worth it, just don't ask me to smile, scrunch my nose, or laugh really hard yet it hurts like a bitch!!! Tonight was TRIKE, it was freaking amazing, until the tent basically collapsed and all the water, wait all the freezing water, came pouring down on all of us... good old Indiana's tornados and all this blasted rain/hail. But as good college students we PARTIED ON. DG won the Lip-sync, but thats cause there music quit... PHI PI should have won, they were hot... you know it! Well in conclusion, Butler may be a classy, preppy school but DON'T let that fool you to how the Butler girls dance!!! We know how to get down and dirty!!!

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
Theres pictures of you and I on the walls around me the way that it was and should have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

Well I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride
Let it fall like rain, from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry.

Would it help if i turned a sad song on
"All by Myself" would sure hit me hard, now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

Cause I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride
Let it fall like rain, from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry.

oOOo

Its been crazy lately, sometimes I really hate growing up, its all so complicated and every decision has at millions of different outcomes... Simplicity, is amazing, I wish that everything could be simple again. Everything is overly difficult at this moment... not difficult in the sense that I'm not doing well, but difficult in the sense that it seems every decision I make is going to turn my life upside down. Do I side with my heart and do what its telling me... or do I side with my logic which is telling me to just deal with the broken heart no matter how much its going to hurt... *sigh* Why can't my life be normal, whatever that is anyways... School is coming to an end, thats exciting but sad all at the same time. I'll miss my ladies of 2NW, well most of them anyways :) I certainly won't miss their stuff in the bathroom! lol I love that song, which is why I posted it, the words, especially the chorus are so true. Crying seems to be the answer to a lot of things right now, everything is just so confusing and complicated, I just don't seem to "know what else to do anymore... well before I cry thinking about a few things I'm just going to go lay down and snuggle up w/ my Big Bear :) "It's something unpredictable, but in the end its right. I hope you had the time of your life."

Hawaii was AMAZING!!! OMG, the trip was just unbelievable. I definitely think that anyone who has the chance should go, its more than worth it. I went sailing on a Catamaran yacht, snorkeling in the deep ocean and then in Hanauma Bay, into the crater of Diamond head (volcano), and then I went SCUBA diving!!! A giant sea turtle tried to attack me while snorkeling, and then again while sucba diving, lol. It was so funny. The weather wasn't the best b/c they had record rainfall so it was super wet, but the temperature was perfect. Omg, it was just amazing, thats all I can say. It was everything I could have asked for and more... :) Real flower leis are beautiful and they smell wonderful, however they are very heavy and your neck gets a little tired after a while. It was the first thing I got in Hawaii. It made it home safely too, I'm going to dry some of the leaves for my scrapbook. I took a couple of other pretty flowers home with me to dry out and scrapbook too!!! Well, thats all I'm going to post, but if you ask I'll tell you the details, depending who you are!!! lol j/k, just ask. It was amazing, and you all need to go!!! Oh yeah, Clay is here!!! So of course I've had him since I got home!! I love my baby!!! I also went with Nina today and got Leanna's 9 month old pictures today. They are adorable. She's such a cutie!!

Last night Bob and I studied for our Biology test... yuck I am really starting to hate Bio. It was rather interesting b/c we couldn't stay focused and got basically nothing accomplished b/c the other people in the lounge were watching Wedding Crashers, and that, ladies and gentlemen is MUCH more exciting than DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Whoops, I forgot, protein synthesis as well, whatever thats supposed to mean. lol Whitney seriously cracks me up, she was making this impression of a girl who used to be in our class and it was really scary but funny, that didn't help our little studying time either. However, this morning in class we all managed to focus and answer questions when we were asked about them. So my sister came here this past weekend, we had a lot of fun. We watched Freshman Skits, that was overall funny, but a few of them were definitely not worth watching or even thinking about ever again. She met Bob, well kind of, he was drunk but hey... its college. lol We went shopping, then to olive garden w/ Mal and Mo that was lots of fun. After that we had some fun at the dorm ;). It was nice to sleep in this weekend and then get up and go hang w/ the lil sis. I met my parents 1/2 way both times, so it was really easy to get her and get rid of her!!! lol no I'm just kidding but we did have a lot of fun. Then it randomly started snowing... weird, I know, and we weren't cold and we had on Flip-flops and short sleeves... but w/e we managed. Sunday I had another food meeting dealing w/ the whole Atherton food sucks situation, and I think we have a really good chance of getting things turned around here at the good old BU. Hopefully, b/c its soooo gross and smelly. Well its off to meet Bob, for lunch, and then a biology seminar!! whoohoo... not I really hate Bio seminars, they are boring too, but I'm thinking that today's topic might be a little promising, its about genetics and all that good stuff. Ok well off to meet the man, in the freaking monsoon that we are having, but I have my rain boots so its all good!!!
