Between the moon and a chevy

Class this morning was horrible. I just can't stay awake in my microeconomics class. And I'm not the only one either. I'm going to have to start bringing coffee with me or something. Art wasn't bad, and our teacher cancled class the morning after Holloween so we don't have to come in with hangovers and no sleep. That was very nice of her i thought. I have sooo much stuff to do today, I don't think I will be able to get it all done. Late Night tonight.

Yesterday was cool, I got to go to a show at Recher and see Dave Hill's new band, Fidel, and Spinfire's CD release gig. I was having a blast, because it's been so long since I've gone to any shows. Unfortunantly Marty had to open up his big mouth to Dave about how obsessed I am with him, and how I think he's so hot and all. I can't believe he told him that. It's a good way to embarrass me from ever showing my face around him again.Good job Marty...thanks a lot. Dave was lookin pretty good too...sigh. I got the lead singer of Spinfire to give a shout out to Joe for his birthday. I didn't think he was the nicest guy, but then again, I didn't have the longest conversation with him.

It's Joe's birthday today....HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE :)

The band was great Friday night at Wyats Saloon...I had a blast. Unfortunantly there were not many people other than friends and family of the band, but you have to start somewhere. I was really impressed with Jeff's singing, he really got into into it and made it sound great! My parents enjoyed it too. Good job guys. The only bad part was unloading the van of equipment, and I didn't even carry anything heavy. I liked how the band kicked into things and the selection of songs was an excellent choice. Next step is a record contract right?!!! The band's webpage is www.falltown.com Go and check it out.

Tonight was parents night at school. Whitney came up too and we did a lot of stuff that Loyola had planned for us. Last night was a legacy alumni reception, which was completely boring and pointless. It was just a ritzy wine, cheese, violin, and mingle type of event. What fun. Tonight was a lot better. We went to the play Tartooth (well, the first half HeHe) and saw so relly cool jazz. My parents mey Lyndsey's parents and talked for a while. Then we went and saw a comedian/magician preform which was actually really funny and I had a good time. He had on flame shoes. I think dad wants a pair for Christmas to wear to work Hehe. The night was excellent and looking for an exciting day. Goodnight and slep tight

Nothin much going on except for a lot of cleaning...can you believe it....me clean?! I hate this schools laundry facilities. I had to wait an hour for a washing machine. FUN! Oh well, its gotta get done some time or another. It's parents weekend and I have an alumni dinner to attend tonight with Father Ridley. Jeff's band is also playing tonight at Wyat Saloon in Fells Point, I wish them luck!!! Other than that life is pretty content and stickin to the usual. Peace out!

This weekend was a blast. Friday I went to see bedazzled which I fully recommend to anyone. It was a perfect romantic comedy. I just can't believehow expensive movies are getting. It's now $8.50 a ticket. I don't understand how kids can afford to go anymore. But I had a wonderful evening with my honey.

Saterday flew by way too fast and it was too much fun. All the girls went to Rooties for Erinn's and Lindseys b-days. It was a lot of fun dancing, but Erinn almost passed out on the dance floor. She was ok though. Marty came to meet me there with Josh at 11:30 and go to a frat. So I ran out to meet him, and drove down to Hopkins. Unfortunantly the girls took freakin forever getting down there so I just left and came back a little early. Then I couldn't get to sleep until 3 am cause everyone was hootin and hollerin drunk and girls were throwing up left and right. And then at 6:20 in the am I had the wonderful choice of getting out of bed cause I was going white water rafting. Uhhhh. I shudder to think of it now. For everyone's future benefit....having a hangover and rafting is not the best combination. It was a blast even though it was cold. We got to wear wet suits so that kept us pretty warm. I feel bad for Libby though cause she was stressing over Tim all day. Poor girl, why can't college guys be decent every once in a while? The rapids were intense in some parts. Emily and this guy Jeff in our raft just kept on falling out though. We had to do so many rescues that I think we are all professionals at it now. My arms are still a little sore from rafting, but not as bad as I thought they were going to be.

I went and worked out at the Fitness Center tonight. I like just going by myself cause I only staythere for a little bit. The school really needs to invest in some more eclipse machines. Actually the whole gym is always overcrowded and hard to find a machine anywhere. You would think they would put in more than 10 running machines for the whole college. I find that number to be a little absurd. And they do not have Abductor or Adductor machines there either. Oh well. It's still a very nice facility. I did about 200 crunches and my tummy does not feel tight at all :( I'll need to do some more tonight. And I want to sign up for areobic classes like kickboxing or something. It feels good to get energized though after a tiring day.

The court hearing was a sucess! I ended up with no points and only a $70 fee to pay at the end. I guess judges can be forgiving sometimes. It was certainly an experience! And it was fun to see all the wierdos that comes with courts. Some people out there are just completely wacko. I also went to my last day at the senior center today. It wasn't all that bad but Doris, the lady is was with on the 1st day, wasn't there. I went to a best buddies meeting tonight so I should find out soon who I'm partners with. I can't wait to do that. It's gonna be a blast. And then I signed up for white water rafting sunday at the yugahany in PA with OAE. Layla is the leader, so at least I'll know someone. I just hope mother nature is on our side and it won't be that cold. Whitney is coming down to spend the night with me tomorrow. Hopefully she'll have a good time. Thats all Folks. Peace Out

School is back to normal...no tests for a while. I have a court date tomorrow which I'm a bit nervous about. I just have to think of a reasonable explaination for everything. That sounds easy doesn't it?

Kings Dominion was awsome, but very cold. I think thats why I'm sick now. Marty and I ahd a lot of fun, and barely fought the whole trip. Overall it was a very enjoyable weekend. The volcano and the Flight of Fear rollercoaster were so much fun and FAST. I got blown back in by seat. The food is crap though...reminder to myself, always pack food from now on.

Midterms suck. At least I don't have any for writing or art. I just have to study for economics and spanish tonight, and try and get some sleep too. Tomorrow morning I go to the retirement center again to volunteer with the seniors. I isn't as bad as I thought is was going to be so I don't mind going, but I don't know if I want to go all four times though. I need to get involved some more in school. But it doesn't seem like I ever have enough time. I wonder when I'll get my best buddies assignment? Hopefully soon. It's so cold out today! I'm surprised it's not snowing yet.

Don't have much time because I have to study Law and Society but just wanted to say that the highlight of my day was the Dawson's Creek Premier. We had a get together in our room and ordered italian. I can't get a hold of Marty. I think he's a little mad at me because I always change my mind. I can't help being so indecisive, but maybe I should work on being a little more considerate. Peace Out - Andy

Jonathan Kozol, the author of Amazing Grace, presented a lecture to the freshman class this evening. It was really drab at first, but it was interesting to find out what happened to the characters in the book. He just wanted to keep on talking about everyone and everything. That was the first time I had ever met an author before, so I was impressed. I wonder what it would be like to live in Mott Haven. I don't think that I would be anywhere close to where I am today. I will be lucky enough to gain some similar experience in those areas by volunteering in the Park Heights area of Baltimore nearby. Our Alpha class took a trip there to visit the community center in the area. The houses were in such terrible condition, and I would be very wary to walk there at night time. The area is so segregated that our class were the only white people in the area. It is interesting how segregated an area can become because of financial situations. It just doesn't seem fair.

Procrastination is the key to sucess :)

Elections are coming up and I need to remember to get an absentee ballot. I'm a bit pissed off that Nader is not in the debate tomorrow night with Gore and Bush, because I was actually thinking about voting for him. This is the first time I get to vote, and I made the cut off by a day or too for being 18. I don't know why people don't vote...that erks me. I remember feeling so cool when I was little going with my mom and casting my fake ballot for school. ...Memories :) Well, Lyndsey is on her lunch "date" withsome guy she was sucking face with at thefrat Saterday night. I stopped by for a min, and she looked a little nervous but all was ok. Oh look here she is now...I don't think things are going to work out between them two.

I'm so happy and giddy again! Being able to talk through things in a relationship is very important. Everthing is justy fine and dandy in my love life again...now I just need to focus on the whole school thing..."You know". Reading through microeconomics is really boring, especially this late at night. So much for studying, I'm getting some sleep. Adios.

Breaking up is hard to do...the worst two days of my life were yesterday and today. I don't know what came over me. I guess it's true that you can't love someone completely until you love yourself first. Going away to college, making new friends, and learning how to live a new life is sooo hard to do. I thought that I could be like every other college girl, and go out and party with people I don't know, just go up and introduce myself, and be more confident. But I'm really not that type of girl. When I'm around people I know, I can be confident and myself, but no matter how hard I try, I'm still the girl who sits in the corner by herself. That is just my personality. And I can not livewithout my partner in life, my boyfriend, Marty. He is the most important thing to me right now and I messed it all up. I don't know if I can ever be completely forgiven for breaking his heart. What would make me just forget about him as I have recently? I don't know, but it is so unlike me. I need be more considerate of other people and stop being so selfish. No matter how busy I get, should I ever forget about the people I care about most. Never.

I don't think I have cried so much before. Just thinking about all the hurtful things I have done made me sick to my stomach all night long. Love is so hard sometimes, but it is worth it when you find the right person. Things will get better. They always do.
