Between the moon and a chevy

Oh, and not much to say about Marty and I's three year anniversary for it was the same day as the WTC incident...i hope i get to see him tomorrow...i miss having his arms around me....i feel the need to just lay down against him and talk for hours right now. I wish we were married and together in our own place. *sigh* now i am depressed knowing that i cant see him till tomorrow. What am i gonna do when i go abroad if i cant even stand not seeing him for not even a week.

Okay...i know I have been majorly sucking at this whole updating thing. I think it is just because of the fact that I know I have soo much to say and dont feel like writing a book...so i put it off until later...then i have more to say...become more lazy....the cycle is endless! And I am all about breaking endless cycles.
I am currently shopping for digital cameras. I really want one and my birthday is only more than a month away....*hint hint*. So my top choice right now is the Sony MVC-FD92 Mavica. Its got 8x zoom capabilities, stores unbelievable amounts of pictures, great resolution, audio capabilities, and wow i am sooo excited. The list price is $599, but through web searches i came up with $529. Which is crazy amounts of expensive...yea i know...but i have wanted one for forever!!! -- well, at least since the technology came out for them.
School is going okay...I am a little frustrated with theology for obvious reasons if you have heard my read aloud seccions in the dorm. And I am sick of modus ponens in philosophy....absolutely, crazy amounts of sick of them! My accounting class is ridiculously tons of work. I only have the class once a week, but have to save at least 5 hours of time just to finish the homework problems and lecture material. Spanish is frustrating as always because i suck at it...so i have sooo much to study for my quiz of friday. And calc isnt all that bad...i got a 95 on the 1st quiz. Yea!
School is a lot harder while you work part time. Last year I didnt work at all, and this year, that is all I seem to do. I am babysitting normally 2 days a week...3 this week...working at the OAE office (for free) on teusdays from 8-10, and every weekend that I am not doing OAE, I am waiting tables at fridays for some extra cash. I am just never home! Its nice because it keeps me moving, motivated, and upbeat for the mostpart. I am just a little stressed at the fact that no matter what i have to do that night, I cant seem to get more than 5 hours of sleep a night. Damn college sleeping patterns. I like being at home with no distractions of my best friends to talk to every time I come in the door. But I do like living on my own...so i guess the living situations even themselves out.
Meagan and I are getting along sooo perfectly. WE are just having soo much fun together! I just hope she doesnt pull any Lyndsey crap and not tell me when she starts getting pissed off. I dont think we would ever get mad at eachother to start off with, but I just hope it wont go down like that. Speaking of Lynds...I went down to their room to show pictures I finally got developed and to talk, and we actually had a good conversation. I was impressed with my ability to just forget the past bullshit and move on to bigger and better things. I am having sooo much fin with the girls in my apartment this year! Just unbelievable amounts of stupidness and gt's (good times).
This weekend I go off for rock climbing training (not overnight this time) and learn all sorts of *how to not be afraid of heights stuff* and of course more important things like how to make sure you dont kill your partner...you know...the usual. But I am thinking that OAE was the best thing I have ever done in my whole life. It is jsut something that clicks with me. Maybe it is the leadership, maybe the outdoors aspect, maybe its the being away from civilization, maybe its jsut trying something new. I dont know why I am so happy with myself, but I am. I am gonna make the best of friends too. This girl corey and I just get along like two peas in a pod and have soo much in common, but the guys are just hilarious and really awsome people to be around, and I am even getting along with Libby real well. So everything is looking up! Ryan was at the meeting monday (of course) and he was really happy to see me again. He is one of those people I could be really close friends too if given the right opportunities. I could just see myself becoming best friends with the guy if only we talked to eachother more than the normal 2 min a week. He just has an awsome personality. Connection: Ryan - to - preorientation canoe trip - to - Greg.....i saw him today and yesterday when we never run into eachother. I just have such admiration for the guy because he is such a free spirit. Like today he was running around the quad with a blue cape on and eye mask, most likely to grab attention for a club sign up, but i jsut snickered pretended I didnt know him and hurried off. Just thinking that someone would do that makes me smile. Like the time he was blasting michael jacksom from his window when we walked past....haha ... gt, gt.
So way off the topic....the terrorist act on the world trade center...it is one of those events i am always going to remember where i was when i heard about it and what i was doing, and how everyone reacted. It's our generation jfk assasination. Not to say that is is good, because i wish to god i would never have anything to remember as horrible as this. All i did was watch cnn for hours and hours upon end. It was so stressfull on campus because everyone is from newyork or newjersey. My m.i.s. teacher's brother was in the building...she is still not back yet from family stuff. And some girl i dodnt know's mother was the flight attendent on one of the planes. Just to think that this is happening scares me, but brings me back into reality. America has recently gotten the biggest ego and confidence that is justified and right, but not fulfilling. But every time someone (including the president) says that this means war and we are going to retaliate, I get the chills going up and down my spine. I am just soo anti war. Too many innocent people are killed. I am however totally in agreement that the terrorist orginization of bin laden has to go down. I just look at how people have reacted to this one large act of terrorism and wonder what it must feel like to live in the middle east where events like this are likely to happen every day, and you are in constant fear of you and your families lives. Everyone is sooo freaked out about this incident, but I dont think you can even compare it too having bombs dropped on your country or constant armies in the streets, or not being able to go to a shopping center with out having your car searched for explosives. The constant fear surrounding millions in the middle east is surely enough to make a few go radical on the majority and prosperous, but it is partially out fault for not taking appropriate actions in the first place with those countries. I am on NO WAY justifying what these sick people did, but who wuold preform a suicide mission unless their lives are that terrible and heardened in the first place. I am a stong natured person for the most part, and I jsut cannot even imagine how some of these people in new york are dealing with this trajedy. And on the news and in special "live" reports, everyone is saying that now is the time to turn to god and pray...but this whole thing makes me believe less than i already do that there is a god out there at all. And if it is the same god that heardened the pharoes heart when moses went to talk to him in exodus...i def. dont want anyting to do with him (some of my theology paying off). SO it looks like we are going to war with some group of people who wont even present themsleves and are in hiding, and with a country full of anger and loades missiles....the next few years is gonna really suck....i have a bad feeling in my gut about this one.

Its Marty's 21st birthday today!!! Happy birthday baby! Have fun!

I am gonna take him out to drink tonight at fridays if anyone wants to come...your invited. Timage is about 8oclockish

School has started and i am halfway through the day right now. All my teachers seem pretty decent except for the fact that i have two classes in which digital pictures are taken of us and put up on the giante projector to be displayed in class when we are called on. How embarrasing is that!!! The reall funny part is the guys who had to take off their hats for the pics with hair standing straight up. Oh geez, my teachers are also physcho with the internet and powerpioint presentations. I am not gonna be getting on the comp too much except for listening to my virtual lectures for accounting which are over 100 slides long some of them. There is gonna be a lot of bitchin this year! I need to get great grades though...i am talking straight A's. Wish me luck!

This weekend is my first training trip for outdoor adventure leaders. I am going camping and playing trust games and stuff, so it is gonna be a blast. We leave 3 on friday and come back sunday. Then next weekend i am going on a floor retreat to blue ridge mountains for some fun. And then the two weekends after that i am going on rock climbing training all weekend. SO the next 4 weeknds are already booked up. Help me!

Me and meagan are having a lot of fun together thankfully and it is sooo much better than being a roomie with lynds last year. That was pure hell and this is actually a lot of fun! And having a kitchen is adorable. Of course i just made myself a chicken pot pie that had almost 60 grams of fat and almost 1100 calories!....I am gonna have to do a lot of crunches tonight!!!!
Okay...back to calculus. I have procrastinated enough for the day....well, i am just gonna check my mail first hehe
