Did everything just taste purple?

Yes, tis true...I survived the 1st day of classes. My first class was great. My last two, I could definitely do without, but I'm sure it will make for an interesting semester. Having 2 freshmen classes on day one is just a little blah. but it couldn't be helped, unfortunately. I am kind of dreading tomorrow b/c it's going to be a rough class and then lab. :( But I have to get through it sometime. But yes...just 3 semesters left!

I talked to a very good friend of mine last night on the phone. It is always good to talk to him, he can always cheer me up...or put me in a really great mood. It was a pretty random conversation, as always, but it was really good to talk. Sometimes I just wish he lived closer b/c it would be good to see him too. But all is well.

Today, I ran into some people that I know. I've known them for quite some time now, but it's still really hard for me to relate to them. Well, there are a few of them that I do get along with very well, but it's really weird with the rest of them. I dunno, sometimes I just feel outta place around them. Today I did, but I wasn't uncomfortable. It's really hard to explain. I dunno. But today was kind of a weird day anyway...I was totally confident in all my classes, which scares me a bit, but I guess that's kind of the way I was when I saw this group of people. Lately I've just been like--'eh'. It's like, whatever is going on around me doesn't affect me at all. I really don't know how to explain it. It's not that I don't care, but I'm just unaffected. I'm sure this doesn't make any sense, but that's ok...it's all in my life. I don't know...I just don't know how long any of this will continue, if it's not worth it, I'll stop---I tend to get bored very easily. Not to mention, there are few things that I find worth my time---very sad, and I sound like a complete snob, but true. But anyway...'til next time...

Okay...so in the anticipation of beginning classes, I have been a total jerk lately. I know, eveyone who knows me knows it, and soon all who read this will know it. Yay for those 3 people who know me. ;) I just haven't been in the mood for much. I hate the fact that I have been pretty crappy to be around lately, it's just been crazy.

However...alot of the people I know from my former college are back in town, so I went to see them last night. Omigosh! I haven't had so much fun in a while. I showed up at their apartment and my friend who graduated last year was there to greet me at the door. I was soooo pumped! She just moved to Arkansas (poor girl) and she drove back to surprise everyone. I also got to talk on the phone with my former roommate, who now lives in TX (again, POOR GIRL). Her life gets completely crazy tomorrow, as will mine. I also got to see my friend who is leaving us and going to Fla. for a few months. That's awesome. I'm a little jealous---he's getting out, not b/c he's going to Florida. We went out to dinner and then went back to the apartment and hung out. We ended up playing a strange game of 'Battle of the Sexes'. It's a really interesting game--fun too. Of course, I'm sure that all depends on with whom you are playing. I laughed so hard. But then it was time to come home and let them rest. It was a nice drive back. No traffic, Beck in the cd player, and a dr. Pepper at my side. Very nice. :)

So I get up this morning and intend to get to church by 9:10 a.m. No, no, no...of course not. I don't arrive until 9:30 or so and by this time, the college class is so crowded. crazy, but awesome. There were so many people there. It was great. I got to see a lot of my firends b/c they are back for the new semester. That was great. The best thing was that two of my OBU friends came and we went out to lunch after church. It was interesting. Manda left for a bit during lunch and I was like--'great, could it be any more awkward?' Not that I have anything against Rob, we just don't click. lol. Let me put it this way...if we didn't have mutual friends, we would have never known each other. He's a great guy. It was really funny too, b/c he made a comment--'after all this time, you still don't know me'. Yeah, I'm not disputing that comment. I don't claim to know him, but that's ok. Life is good. :)

And now to think about tomorrow again...ugh. So not interested in beginning a new semester. It will be nice to see some people again and such, but studying, working, stressing...yay, this is my life. How can I not be thrilled? Well...as I've been saying for the past 2 months...'Just 3 more semesters, just 3 more semsesters...' 'Til next time...

Today has been a bit of a weird day, as is the usual in my case. But what I mean by weird today, is that my moods have been everywhere--well, mostly. I woke up around 10:30 this morning. I really had nothing to do...just get gas and buy books. That took a total of about 30 minutes. Which I was definitley glad for. I then got bored so I went to see how much it would cost to get my glove compartment fixed---thanks to a friend of mine, it was broken. After that, I decided to spend more $$. Yay for me...not really. But I got all my errands done, except for parking. Which sucks. I am going to get up early tomorrow and go get that taken care of. I am so not looking forward to that.

The highlight of my day was buying the 4th Harry Potter book. I know, I know, a bit nerdy, but I am so addicted to them---thanks to my boss. :P she suggested that I read them, so I took her up on the offer to borrow the first one, I read it in 2 days. The second one in 1 day. The third took a little longer, but I finished it---although my nephew finished well ahead of me. And I couldn't wait to get the 4th from my boss, so I bought it. I'm really excited about it...crazy, I know.

Wow, this is a reallly random entry. 'magine that. But to get on with what I began with...my mood(s). I'm not really sure where it's stemming from. I think part of it is that I am a bit apprehensive about starting a new semester. I just really want to do well...and who knows where that will get me? I know my second reason is because I really need to talk with someone that I can trust. Which may be hard b/c I definitely have trust issues. Don't get me wrong, my friends are great, or they wouldn't be my friends...but some of them live in worlds where nothiing can go wrong, and if it does then it's better to just ignore it b/c 'it'll go away'. Okay...seriously now...where is this world??? Others, sometimes I feel like they feel the need to give advice...sometimes I need it, but mostly that's not what I'm lookin for. I dunno...I seriously need a means of spiritual support. Right now, I'm kinda venting, but it would be nice if i knew someone was on the other end wanting to pray for me or something. Anyway...that's two of the reasons. Another, is I'm bored. I haven't been working these past two weeks...and I feel ugh. But time spent with the fam was great. I really had fun. My nephew is always awesome. What more could I ask for?

Anyway...I'm rambling...as usual. So I am goin' to head out for now...'til next time...

Lately, everything in my life has been surrounded by wedding stuff. I went home this past week to help my sister with plans for her wedding, which is taking place in January. Things are getting underway, which is a good thing. Of course, there is still much to be done, and i'm trying to do as much as I can. It was good to be home though. I know I won't be able to go for a while...of course I'll need to, b/c of the wedding and stuff. But I'm rambling...it was fun to help my sis find things for her wedding. I'm really getting excited about it, but I know it's going to demand a lot of my time. So hopefully I can juggle things. Anyway...that's really all I want to say for now.

Life is good. Things have worked out and I will be able to keep my job throughout the next year. Yay for me! So now, I won't have to go job hunting yet again AND I can keep my season tickets for football. Wonderful!
Today is just a good day. Which is great, I guess I earned it after yesterday. :) I just talked to my mom on the phone. She cracks me up. I love my family, it makes me sad that within a few years, I won't be able to drive for 4 hours to see them. But I know it's for the best.
I am absolutely loving the weather this week. Since it rained on Sunday the temperature has been around 90 or so. So nice for August in OK. However, I am very much looking forward to fall and winter. Seems like the only good thing about summer is baseball. But that's just my opinion.

Craziness...so, I've been talking to this random guy on AIM...oddly enough, we go to the same university and somehow, my sn ended up on his buddy list. He's pretty cool. We are both up at this moment and are engaged in a convesation---it's pretty funny. There's nothing wrong with flirting, lol. I have no clue who he is and he has just about the same idea of me. We don't know how we know each other, but have determined that there must be a connection. Not very helpful, but it's fun. Anyway...he's one of the more interesting people on my list. who knew?

Well, lately I feel like I've been going through somewhat of a 'mid-life crisis'...ok, so mid-twenties isn't exactly mid-life. I remember a time when people would tell me everything about their lives, their 'loves', whatever. It's still the same, however, I've noticed my reactions to them have changed. It's really weird. I usually consider myself to be pretty open minded, yet when it comes to my 'nearest and dearest' I become,dare I say, judgemental. Not happy abt it, but trying to change.
I'm also a bit frustrated b/c I ay not have a job in the fall. I was offered a job, however due to circumstances beyond my control...I may not be able to take it. And it's a great job...I really like it and it's a good place for me, I just don't know what to do. But for now, I get plenty of time off just to have as much fun as possible. It's kinda cool.;)
There are only 2 weeks left until classes start. Woohoo! I'm kinda excited b/c I will get to see some people again and of course meet new people---always fun.
oh! I finally bought Pinkerton! Yay for me! It's amazing---as always with Weezer. I love Rivers Cuomo, he's very talented...I would actually marry him. Of course, it would mean that we would have to actually meet at some point, I s'pose it could happen. ;) I'm so excited that I FINALLY own all of the Weezer cd's---well, not the imports or singles, but that's ok...I'll survive.
Well, 'til next time....
