So, it's November. WHAAAAT?!? Since when...? Are you sure. *yes* >.< I feel like this semester is flying by. I'm registering for the spring semester right after this. And the way things are going, I'll be applying to the nursing program in about a months time. Whoa. In the words of Wall-E "whoawhoawhoawhoa!" I was never able to imagine what my life would be like when it go to this point, and now here it is. No need to try and picture what my life's going to be like, because apparently, it's going to be the same. I can't complain, but I'm just so caught up in it all. I still can't believe that come this June I will have completed half of college, and I'll have been out of high school 2 years. Crazy. So, I need to get to work but I'll make an effort to post in here more than once every other month! *looks away sheepishly* I should have more to saying seeing as I'm becoming a vegitarian! (at least for a month or so, then we'll see where we go from there). I'd appreciate prayers for success in my vegitarianism, and just to keep up on my seemingly massive amount of work.

So school turned out to be more time consuming than I thought it would be. And I actually really like my Chemistry teacher and actually am not hating what we're learning. I'm sure I'll begin to hate it again in no time :P.
So, it's been about a month, but there's not really much to update on. The most exciting thing that's happened was going to Valparaiso University to see a concert and to see Erik! The concert was decent (it was free so I wasn't expecting too much) but I probably had more fun just catching up with Erik and being on the campus of a university and seeing his life at college.
Other than that life's going, I'm kind of in a rut right now and I'm not sad anymore really but I'm still not overflowing with happiness either. Knowing that there's a bigger plan that me is the only thing thing that keeps me in the right mindset and attitude. Plus it's just so difficult to be sad, and too time consuming. Finding happiness wherever you can is so much easier =]

The wheels on the bus go round and round...
School starts tomorrow.
WHOA.
When did July end again? I feel like the end of this summer just flew by, no, actually it RACED by.
I'm only in four classes this semester so it shouldn't be too difficult, they are: Chemistry, Philosophy - Ethics, Humanities and Speech. Since I despise Chemistry, I've decided to pretend it's potions class instead =D hehe. Now if I have a mean professor, I can pretend they're Snape and relate to Harry Potter. Right now Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is on so I'm going to keep watching it.

Rota
Broken by Lifehouse is my theme song lately. As everyone is leaving for college I'm feeling some of the same feelings I did last summer, yet they're completely different. Until tonight I haven't really been upset, but listening to this song just brings out those sad feelings that I've been trying to swallow. I know I'll end up where I'm suppose to be no matter what path I take, but it's so hard right now because I don't want any of this. I don't want to be living at home and I wish I could afford a regular 4-year college, a "big girl" college, a "real" college and a "real" expirience to go with it. My school is great - one of the top in the country, but it's not where I want to be. So, although I'm completely 100% excited for my friends and am so happy they're going where they want to, It's still so sad to see them leave along with seeing them go where they want to so seemingly easy. Everything will be ok in the end, but for now " I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts."

Music = My Life
Soooo...BUTTONS! =]
I've put together a playlist on my ipod entitled "SA-WOON" If you've read the book The Truth About Forever you would get the meaning behind that. Moving on basically these are songs that would completely melt me into a puddle of hopelessly romantic mush if any guy sang/played/dedicated it to me.
Here they are in no particular order:
Don't Wanna Close My Eyes - Aerosmith
Crazy for This Girl - Evan and Jaron
Out of My League - Stephen Speaks
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Everything - Michael Buble
Crush - David Archuleta
At Last - Etta James
Call Me Irresponsible - Various artist (I'm fond of Michael Buble's version though)
The Way You Look Tonight - Various artists have done this one too
^^^ I'm not the type of girl to plan their future wedding down to the last detail, but as of now I want this to be the song my husband and I dance to <3
On a completely different and random note:
Why do flies have to buzz so loudly? And I don't get why it has to spend it's 24 hours of life in my room...I don't even want to spend that much time here. blech.

Thought Overload!
So, I'm kind of excited about this blog and thinking about what I want to write today has pretty much overloaded my brain.
I'm going to start with just talking about my day - seems like a good place to start. :)
Today I went to the middle of no where for a ceremony to honor my grandma being in the navy. She passed away a few months ago, and they now are moving her into this cemetery where only war veterans can be buried. It was a very short, little ceremony, but it was very touching. They pretty much gave my aunt a flag and some bullet shells to honor my grandma, and they saluted our family in honor of my grandma's service. I got a bit teary-eyed just thinking about some memories I had with her and how she was such a strong woman in our family. Sometimes I really miss her. They fired three rounds of shots during the ceremony, and we were able to take the shells home. I took two of them and I'm going to write my grandparents name on them. They both were cremated, and when my grandpa died we saved the spot next to him for my grandma because they both were in the navy. I think it's so sweet that they get to be side by side forever. <3
The other big thing today was the going away party for Lindsey. She's going on a two week camping trip then heading to school, so today was the "see you later" until she comes home. It's hard to say so long and realize that things are never going to be the same because she's going to mature and grow up in college. I also made an effort to maintain the few friends I made last year, but I've failed. Seeing Lindsey for the last time for who knows how long was really hard and there's so many other "see you later"s to come. Man, I really hate this whole college business - can I be done now?

Bread and Sorbet
So my family hasn't had a membership at Costco for quite some time, but lately I've found myself craving this AMAZING bread they sell there, and these fruit sorbet things that come in the shell/skin of the flavor they are. For example mango orange in an orange peel, coconut in a coconut shell and pineapple and pina colada in a pineapple skin. Man, I want it so bad it's depressing. If I could I would totally be driving up to Costco right now instead of writing a blog about how much I want to go. *sigh*

Xanga is SO last year...
So, I'm blogging again. One of my friends had one of these and I thought "what the hey I haven't blogged in years so why not start again?" To be honest I think a blog is just what I need right now. Maybe it will come back to bite me in the butt someday - maybe not. Let's hope I don't bash some future employer or something. So I'm here and I'll be sharing tid bits of information. Ready or not here I go...
