Best Campout Ever!!!

This weekend I want camping with the Kowicki's. It was in a town called Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, and was about a 6 hour drive. We got there and right away there was trouble. So, there were four campsites of Puerto Rican people, I'm guessing they were all family, or friends, and then right next to us was a white family of 3, the kid being about 4 years old. Apparently the night before we got there, the Puerto Rican people had been really rowdy and loud at 2 am, and the guy next to us called the cops on them. Then the day we got there, he came over and said he was going to go to the showers and he said that if anything weird went on with the Puerto Rican people, to call the cops. Nothing went on, so we went on eating dinner. After dinner, the white guy got into a verbal fight with one of the Puerto Rican guys. His wife pulled him away and made him get into the car. They drove away quickly, running over some of their belongings. They came back about and hour later, with 3 ranger vehicles. The white guy gets out of his car, goes straight over to the Puerto Rican guy and starts throwing punches! It was GREAT!!! There were so many people! It was so eventful! I loved it. Anyway, that was the highlight of the camping trip.

So, also, we went kayaking. Twice in one day actually. Katie and I went in a two-person kayak. Let me tell you, my arms were burning. That night, my left arm was aching so badly that it kept me up half the night. I had to massage it! The hard ground and the cold also kept me up, but I fixed the ground problem (kind of) by laying on my pillow, and the cold problem by putting on my hoodie and getting in my sleepiing bag.

We rode a train, and it was really cool. We saw a tunnel through a hill that the train used to go through, and it made me want to take a train cross-country!

The car ride there was so cramped! Katie and I had to sit completely on the seat, like our feet couldn't be down or anything. But it was ok. I also read most of my "Luxe" book, it's so good!! I love that series.

I have to go to the doctor's on Thursday, to get a mole removed, and to get a TB test so that I can do my clinic hours. I really hope Victoria's Secret calls me. I want to get money so I can buy a car. I want my own so badly! Dancing at the Bohemian is this Saturday! And a fire with my friends is on Friday! This weekend should be super fun :)

That's all for now.

I'm blue da ba dee

So, I'm home for the summer. It's only Wednesday, and it feels like this week is going by so unbelievably slow. I hope the whole three months doesn't go by this slowly. I'll die if it does. At least I'm trying to be active this summer. Today, Katie and I walked around Parma going job hunting. I ended up only applying at one place, Chuppa's Fruit Market, but I also have applications for American Eagle and Victoria's Secret. I still haven't called the Flowerama people back, I think I might wait a little bit until I turn in all of my applications. That might not be the best move for me though. While I was walking, I guess we walked past Mike Niedetzki, who was one of my summer mistakes-ish. I guess we'll see how that goes, I'm not sure if I'm going to hang with them or not. I'm thinking not.

Today, I finished my book that I've been reading, called Rumors. It's the second in a series about the late Victorian era. I really like them. The ending was super depressing, and that sucks because I've been feeling so blue lately. I'm pretty sure it's hormones though, so it's okay. Since I've finished that book, I've started re-reading "The Importance of Being Earnest". I'm excited to re-read it. I also requested a lot of books from the library. I'm hoping to go up there a lot this summer and read some childrens books like a creeper lol.




I really need to find some student loans. I don't know where to look or anything. It sucks. I need to SEARCH! I've also been searching for the bathing suit of my dreams. I've found two, and both times they've been either out of stock, or cost $120, which sucks!

So, I just had a deep-ish conversation with my mom about boys, and curfews, and how I think she should be more lenient, and how I never really felt comfortable talking to her about stuff. But now that it's all out, I feel a bit better, and not everything is all stuffed up in my brain just waiting to come out. Now I can feel like we have a normal close-like mother daughter relationship.

I cleaned out my closet, and need to keep cleaning out my room to sell stuff at a garage sale. I'm selling my stereo too, which should bring in some good monies. This summer I think I'm going to really practice my flute, and maybe pick up the guitar again. I'm not quite sure. I just don't want to sit around on Facebook all day, or watch TV, or sleep. I got really mad at dinner when my sister was ranting to my parents about how I'm "addicted to Facebook". Yeah I'm on a lot, but I'm not addicted....and I hate when people say that I am.

I want to find out what day we go back to Wooster for band camp....like really bad. I also need to start going to the clinical observations. I need to get a dumb TB test, blah. And I'm getting a mole removed. I'm not too excited about it, but might as well get it out of the way.

Katie and I watched a movie from 1940, it's called "His Girl Friday". I'm not really sure what the title has to do with anything, but it was entertaining and I really loved it.





I've been finding really good videos on youtube lately. Two of them are of this little Korean kid singing Beatles songs, and they're so cute and funny! And this other one is of a ninja cat. I don't know, I think it's just hilarious.

Ryan Sayles said he'd be my swing partner for this summer, let's see how that goes....lol

Ok, I think that's it for now. I'll probably keep up with my blogging since I'll probably have nothing else to do all summer. Toodles.

Time flies, flies eat fruit?

So, I'm leaving Wooster in 3 days. This has been the fastest school year ever, and supposedly they go even faster as you move up. I really don't want to leave. Yeah I miss my family, my cousins, my friends, my kitty....but I'm going to miss everyone here too. I'm getting really sad, especially when I see Gordon because it's going to be a long 3 months. We'll get through it. I'm starting to pack, and I've found letters that were written to me by friends, and I'm getting very nostalgic about them. I really like my room, and I really like my roommates. Of course, I'm rooming with Arielle again next year (and Katie too!), but Julia's pretty awesome. I'll miss her. And I'm definitely going to miss my RA, she's so awesome! Also, my senior friends from swing dancing. They're leaving and it probably won't be the same without them. We're going to keep carrying on traditions though, and I can't wait to be a big part of the "Let's Dance Society". I also can't wait to start dancing with BW kids again. Goodbye 2008-2009 school year. I'll miss you for sure.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to be studying abroad, but my friend gave me a good point. She said that by the time I've had another two semesters in Wooster, I'll feel comfortable enough to leave. Who knows.

I've been watching the Indians games. I really like watching them in my dorm. Katie and I also had a baseball party complete with Cracker Jacks. She's really awesome to me, and I'm going to really try to do a better job doing the same from now on.

Gordon read my last blog about marriage and death and all that stuff, and he wanted to have a deep conversation. I love having deep conversations. He said he wants to wait to get married, which works for me. Who even knows where we'll be when he/we graduate. I'm just a dreamer....daydreamer. My mom also hinted that she would be heartbroken if her grandkids lived in a different state. It made me laugh. Not the heartbroken part, just the part about her assuming-ish about me and Gordon lol.

I'm done with finals, I just have to finish this project that I have to do for Visual Text, which is designing an "I Love Lucy" resturant. It's ok I guess. I got a 74% on my Spanish final, which is pretty good for me. I'm not sure what I got on my other two, I just have to wait.

I've really felt like reading lately. I've also decided that over the summer I'm going to walk or ride my bike to the library and read a bunch of the children's books. It will help for my major (ish), and also bring back memories. I'm going to be doing a lot of reading over the summer.

Speaking of the summer, I'm going job hunting. I kind of really want to work at Chuppa's, which is like a fruit market on the end of my Papa's street. I'm applying at a lot of places. I also need 25 observation hours in a Speech-Language Hearing Clinic. I've got most of that figured out.

My DVD player was being really dumb today...I hope I don't need to buy a new one.
I also found a really cute video of a Korean toddler singing Hey Jude, it's the CUTEST THING EVER!

I can't wait to live in Babcock and set up my room. I'm going to have a shower curtain as my closet door. Whoopee! I think that's all for now...

I'm excited and sad at the same time. If I think of more, I'll write it later. And I'm gonna keep writing in this blog through the summer, then start a sophomore year one. I didn't realize I wrote so much :)

Oh! I've started writing down things that bug me about society. It's in a notebook called "Society Annoys Me". I haven't really written much in it, but it might go somewhere. Also, when I was cleaning out my stuff, I found a story that I started writing during first semester finals. I re-read it, and it was actually pretty good. I think I might expand on it eventually.

This is my favorite picture of them both.
