mmm i just stuck a saltine in my mouth. Now i need milk and i have none.
The girls on my hall just got finished finger painting in the bathroom. That was quite fun. I took a picture of mine, and maybe somehow i could figure out how to put a picture on here. Hm. I instigated a paint fight between natalie and I, and that was fun.
I start caregiver's next week! that is fun in a bun.Hopefully i will get a job next Friday, and then I will be making money!! ohhh Lordy I hope so.
Okay, that's really all i have to say right now. the end.

I was looking in the full length mirror in our room this morning, and I didn't recognize who I saw. I think I will forever feel like I'm 14, awkward and unsure of myself. And then I looked in the mirror and saw a 20 year old I didn't recognize. It was very very odd.

Today while we were waiting for the cafeteria to open, Jen (a girl on my hall) and her boyfriend Jeremy were a couple people in front of us in line. Anyway- they are a funny couple. They mock fight all the time, and when we showed up, Tiffany said something, that just made them start mock fighting again. It was quite entertaining. At one point Jen kissed her hands and put them on Jeremy's cheeks, and he said "Get off me" and pushed her away playfully.
Later while we were eating, I said "I want a boyfriend like that" and everyone looked at me like i was crazy! I'm sorry, but i want someone fun, who i can joke around with. I don't want some serious romantic boyfriend. Boo hiss.

It disgusts me how much of a morning person I am. I don't particularly like getting out of bed, but I can totally just get out of bed, and i'm ready for the day. Here is a good example:
Natalie's alarm clock kept going off this morning, and she just kept hitting the snooze (like always :) ), and finally she got out of bed at about 8:20... (to head to her 8am class .. heheh) I laid there for a while, and then got up about ten minutes later. I knew I had things to do. I could've gone back to sleep, but I didn't. I got up. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, came back to my room, put on a sweatshirt over my pj's, and started working a lit paper that is due today, and now it's done. Do normal people do this? are they able to work on papers right after they get up? I'm not quite sure.
Now my assignment for the rest of the day is to get some yearbook stuff done. I gotta finish up wind ensemble, and Friday arts. Please Lord, let someone talk to me, and have something positive to say.

What an odd weekend. Our youth group is so confusing, and being a leader is more confusing. I don't know where anybody stands. None of them were interested. stunk.
I got back here to school a little after 6. I haven't done much since then. I started a lit paper that is due tomorrow at 2:30. Hopefully I can finish that up. I also have yearbook stuff that is due (and overdue) yet i still didn't work on that tonight. I'm such a procrastinator.
So at this youth retreat they have tons of activities for the kids, so that during free time they are busy doing things. basketball, volleyball, pool, foosball, a skate park, rock climbing, etc. There's a ropes course, also. They didn't have the course open, but they did have open what they called the "pamper pole". Basically two poles (you get to choose which one you want to jump). One is about 30-35 feet tall, and it free standing. It is wobbly with a small platform at the top. The other is about 40-45 feet tall, though once you get up to the platform you have the pole behind you to grab on to. It is not wobbly at all, it's very stable. Both have a trapeze bar out in front of it. You're hooked onto a harness and there's a man at the bottom of each ready to catch you when you jump. You aim for the trapeze bar, but really only about 1 in 4 people get it (it's a ways out there).
So i made myself do it. Some girls in my youth group were doing it, and i told myself that this is the kind of pushing-yourself stuff that is going to be done on walkabout, that i needed to do it. So i did. I wasn't nervous at all until i actually got harnessed in and hooked on to the rope, and was waiting for the guy to give me the okay. Then i started climbing up the ladder (I'mgettingsickjustthinkingaboutit!) The ladder goes up to where the pegs on the pole on. You have to climb up the pole on thiese U-shaped metal things (with the open end stuck in the pole if that makes any sense). anyway. You shimmy your way up there, then try to figure out a way to get on the platform (cause it's just a platform sticking like a foot and a half out, and it's just pegs and then try to find your way up onto the platform.. it's hard to explain). And then you stand up there and just jump. it's CRAZY. I stood up there for about a minute and just said to myself "you HAVE to do this" and counted off to myself, and jumped on three. I screamed. I always scream when I fall.
And I told natalie I would do the superman pose. So when I jumped i screamed and closed my eyes, and i heard natalie say "superman!!" so I did it and closed my eyes again, and the next thing I know, half a second later, when i opened my eyes the ground was about an inch from my face lol so i landed laying down on the ground. That was pretty funny.
Okay enough about that. I have nothing else to talk about. There is so much stuff on my bed.. my suitcase, a laundry basket of clean clothes, a book bag. I gotta clean it all up now. Au revoir.
