It's March already?

It feels like the semester just started! I feel like I just got back from El Salvador. Time flies when you are having fun I guess. This semester I have been really good about going to all my classes even when I know critique won't be good. I also have tried out the dating scene. Oh man, got some good stories on that one. Which is so new for me. Dating. who does that anymore?
I am feeling a bit of the mid semester slump. Definitely looking forward to a week at home. Going to the beach, drinking iced coffee, reflecting, taking pictures. Hanging out with my parents.
Good ol' Maine things. Then I will be ready to finish the semester with a bang.
I am finally where I need to be. <3

Surprising myself with my own strength

Remember who I was a year ago?
Hello, I am a completely different person. Nice to meet you. This kid standing in front of you is finally happy confident and strong. And she knows it.
I am finally at a school I feel like I fit into perfectly. I have made some very close friends. I have traveled to a foreign country for the first time. I loved every moment of it.
I'm not saying I'm perfect and completely well, but it amazes me how different my life is in just one short year. As the self affirming statement I picked out in January 2009 says: "I take pride in my accomplishments and look forward to what I intend to achieve."

Another New Chapter (#3?)

Monday I move to Boston. After a semester of straightening my life out I have learned so much about myself I feel I am very ready to live on my own. I haven't felt this confident in myself since High School. I now have the skills it will take to live my life the way I have wanted to for so long. In a few short months I have made leaps and bounds from confidence that was down in the toilet to making my voice heard.
My fears will not stop me from achieving my goals.

December 10, 2007

One Year ago today my baby sister had her ICD put in. Feels kind of like yesterday. I remember it well. I also remember the tremendous response from the community, Hearts For Hannah, and our secret christmas tree. Never before had I felt the presence of other's thoughts and prayers like i did that day. I wish I was at home to be with my family on this day... but my gift to her will have to wait. At least i am not in a hospital watching the status of her surgery on a screen and instead counting the blessing that is my sister.

Not Coming Back

I'm just going to go home for a bit. Step back, figure it out. Doesn't mean I will be gone forever, just next semester. No worries.
its for the best.

Comeback?

Oh Boston. Why do you toy with me? I thought it was all over. I stopped checking the score obsessively in class once i saw we were down by seven. It's so the Red Sox to come back and just blow us away. love it. psh. you think we would go down without a fight? At Fenway?!
It's going to hurt much more if it ends next game. I don't know if i will be able to let it go as easily.

mmmm Youk, you know.. running in the wining run. cause thats how we do.

New Curse?

*sigh* We are down two games. And badly. Last night I was told I sounded like a man because of all of the obscenities coming out of my mouth at a look at the score. But that is so like the Red Sox. They like to do this to us. So I was thinking positive thoughts about tomorrow's game at Fenway until I saw this: Citgo Fire.
This isnt good. No, not at all. Wear your unwashed sox shirts and whatever you do for some good ju ju!!! Cause I know I am...









I might even wear my hat to bed.....
