I know I haven't written in a long, but I've been so busy with my first two semesters of college. I took the summer off and will be starting back in about a month. College has been an interesting experience, but I'm glad I've had my best friend to help me get through it. I've learned quite a bit from college and I can't wait to learn more.

Since the start of the year, a lot has changed. Over spring break in March I got a brand new haircut, and I absolutely love it, and I went up to Nashville for the first time to visit my aunt. I now have a boyfriend of about two and a half months and he is the greatest. In May I went up to Tallahassee to meet his parents and most of his siblings.They were great, I like his family. Also in May, I got a brand new phone: the Galaxy S3,and I love it; it's such an improvement on my old Blackberry. In June my church had a week of VBS (Vacation Bible School) and I helped out in leading the music and teaching the kids the songs; by the end of the week I was utterly exhausted, but I had so much fun. The theme was Kingdom Chronicles, so I got to dress up, and I took full advantage of that.

At the end of the Spring 2013 term, I found out that I made the President's List and made A's in all four of my classes! I can't believe it's been over a year since I graduated high school, boy does time fly!

I've also started playing Candy Crush Saga, and I'm totally addicted, at first I thought the game looked stupid and I told myself that I would never play it, but now I love it and I'm on level 123.

I'm now currently looking for a job, and thus far, it hasn't been successfully, but I hope that will change shortly. By the end of Fall 2014, I hope to have my A.A in English Creative Writing from Seminole State College, and start at UCF in Spring of 2015.

Well, I'm off...later!

My haircut when I first got it done!

Well, I know I haven't written in a long time, but since there is nothing else for me to do, I figured why not. I graduated from WSHS on May 29th and in August I will be a Freshman at SSC. My summer so far hasn't been all that excting, although I did go camping in Anastasia State Park for two days with some people from school and then a week after that I was sick. Last Saturday was my best friend's graduation party and I haven't seen her since because she's sick and I don't know when I'm going to see her again. I'm going crazy! It's one thing not to see her when there is a distance between us, but it's another thing not to be able to see her when she lives right down the street. It's not enought just talking to her on the phone. It's way too hot to do anything outside and I've been trapped in my house for a few days so I'm suffering from cabin fever. I tried to go bike riding today, but it is way too hot, so I had to return home after ten minutes. All I want is to get out of the house for a little while, is that too much to ask? Well, I guess it is.  

Graduation!

Well, I survived my first day of Senior year and it was all right. It could have been much worse. So far, I like all of my classes, and my teachers, and I know at least one person in all of them,so that's good. It's going to take me a while to get used to getting up early. I feel exhausted, but hopefully that will pass by the end of the week. Once again, I have second lunch, I hate it because we eat so late, good thing Tattersall let's us eat in his class or else I would starve. Well, write post something tomorrow, or whenever

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. There has been nothing to blog about. Last night I spent the night with my mom and we went shopping. Today, my sister brought my brother over and we looked at old pictures. Goodness, I hate all of my pictures, except my Senior Portraits, they're decent. We got a good laugh out of some of the pictures. My mom, brother and I went swimming. The water felt so good, but now I have water in my ear. Tomorrow is my last day of freedom :(. and I still have to finish reading Beowulf, but I'm almost done. I'm kinda ready to go back, but not really. I'm pretty pleased with my schedule. Although, I'm not too impressed with my Spanish teacher. Well, will post tomorrow or Monday after school.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I've just haven't felt like it and there was nothing worth posting about. Last night was the first night of our church efficiency conference, Bro. Danny Riggs, and Dr. Bobby Roberson preached. Both of them were really good. I didn't go to the service this morning because I'm stuck babysitting, but I am  planning on going tonight. I'm not sure who's preaching though. Yesterday I found one of my favorite movies, The Swan Princess, at Target for $5 so I got it and watched it. It's raining here, but that's no suprise. My head hurts, probably b/c of the humidity, it's hot and sticky, and gross, and I hate it. I don't know how much longer I can stay home and watch him, it's getting to be way too much for me to take, he's loud and obnoxious, and disrecpectful and rude; I really don't know how much more I can take.

Later

Bro. Sammy Riggs and Dr. Bobby Roberson preached tonight. My head hurt almost the whole time, but I guess it was due to the fact that I was hungry. No church service tomorrow. On Thursday I get to meet my teachers and school starts on Monday. Joy! NOT! My mom drives me crazy! She treats me like I'm a child when I'm just a few months away from legally being an adult. I don't think she gets the message that I don't want to talk to her all of the time. She got mad at me because she hasn't seen me, awake, in a week. So what? When school starts, she'll be seeing me 4 days a week!

Now, I've got myself all worked up.

Will post tomorrow

Sorry I didn't get to post last night, my Internet wasn't working correctly. Last night Bro. Mike taught about worship and Pastor taught about What does the Bible say about Bible application. It's still hot and muggy and gross here, but what else should I expect. School starts in 11 days. Joy! Not! I'm kinda looking forward to going back, but I'm not at the same time. I can't believe I'll be a Senior this year. Honestly, the thought kinda scares me. I haven't done anything or gone anywhere today. Well, that's all for now.

Well, this is my first attempt at a blog, so here it goes....

 I'm now home and the weather is brutal. And I quote, but maybe not word for word, Bella from Eclipse "I would rather drink my water than inhale it." It's so hot and muggy and humid and gross here. I'm already ready to go back to Seattle. I'm pretty much done with unpacking, I just need to really organize my stuff. I hate jetlag, it can be quite hostile. It's about 9:30 and I'm getting tired. But on the flip side, I'm happy to be back in my own room, and I want to sleep in my own bed. I can't wait to see my bestie tomorrow. I had so much fun in Seattle, I can't wait to go again. That's all I have for now, will update tomorrow
