It's raining, and the whole town is flooded.

Driving home was awful. It took about 45 minutes when it usually takes 15 minutes on any other day. Roads were closed...cars were stuck...it was a mess.

I do live in the Midwest..but still...stupid hurricane. >.<

Also, I realized I spend three hours a day in the library most days.
I finish all of my assignments as best as I can, at least.

I need to find some friends.......
I sort of made one today. His name's pronounced like Kwa..It was raining so hard, he offered me a ride to my car.

Classes are going great, at least.

On the news, it says this weekend marks 5 years passing after Hurricane Katrina hit.
Where have I been the last 5 years?
It feels like that was just last August.
I have a horrible sense of time..
kinda like my sense of pinpointing what I need.

...when the highlight of your day so far is getting the requests for your transcripts to be sent finally checked off your to-do list.

College was nice..
Granted it was only my first day, I feel like it should be a pretty positive existence for two years.
I was disappointed the technology in most of the school is older than the high school's that I attended..that was kind of lame. Oh well....I'm positive there are more important things to worry about :)
My life is so calm right now. I don't mind it... Summer was enough for me.

...So, I was a little weird feeling for a few days with everything hitting me at once... the 2c's and moving and paying for stuff ... a lot of stuff .. was a little overwhelming. But, I'd say I'm back on track now... minus the internet that likes to disappear at random times.
Yep, everything's fine.
I have a lot going for me..education, love... and they're all leading to a better future.
I just have to remember not to let the little unfortunate momentary stuff get me down.

Also, I now have kitten. Her name's Fiction, and she's awesome.
Here is a picture:

I've decided I hate growing up.

Finally moved in with my grandma.. something just feels off.
I guess it's because I'm mostly just used to visiting her here... not living here daily. That's the only explanation I can think of anyway..

I feel so stuck...still. I figured moving would fix it, but it hasn't.
And now, .. ah, now I actually have time to think about things.

I've gone on a few more enlightening journeys. ^.^

I got another tattoo.. it's a silhouette of a blackbird on my wrist.
I like it... it was really spontaneous though. We were at diversity festival, and I just decided I wanted another tattoo. So we walked around, I thought about what I wanted, and, within about 3 hours, I decided and had it done. It's a good thing =)

So, diversity festival was very fun. I love that little artsy town with they're rainbow flags everywhere and live music on every corner ...It was a cool experience. Lots of things I'm not used to seeing everyday..

I have so much to think about.
I don't even know where to start....

The other day, I was thinking to myself about how nice it would be to have a furry companion to care for and to keep me focused through this transition into a brand new part of my life. This was caused by one of my friends asking me if I wanted a kitten. For the first time in my life, I was actually able to say yes to that question! I'm getting a kitten :3 This summer has been amazing for two reasons.
I've fallen in love, and I'm getting a kitten.
This has made my life completely worth living through.
Every single inch of it... not one trace of regrets.

I went through more of my stuff today to make the move easier.
Mainly all of the papers I've saved from school...
I've downsized my possessions to a backpack full of random stuff/books/schoolthings, clothes, a clarinet, a laptop, a telescope, and a keyboard.
yeah :)
I feel a lot more collected now.

until I can move out

Granted, I'm only moving to my grandma's an hour and a half away, but it's still a big deal to me. Of course, I'm not going to get the "typical college experience", but I think that it's going to be good for me...
less distractions with stuff.

Also, diversity weekend is next weekend, and I'm so excited :D
It should be a blast..
I just wish I could take him.
And I get those thoughts a lot...
It's only harder because I actually dream about him.
So realistically.

I hate that words can make me so upset.
I'm angry more than anything though.

before I dash off to work.
:)

Let'sseehere..
3 weeks til' I move.
I really need to figure out some way to get internet at my grandma's.
I practically went two nights without talking to him, yup.
What an eye opener :/

I'm meeting my step-brother and step-sister in law today!
(should be anyway)
They traveled from Argentina.. yes... :D
She speaks Spanish, and I'm really excited to talk to her.
I'm hoping it'll be good practice because I haven't really learned any Spanish all summer long :(:(

this is it.

I'm thoroughly and unmistakeably in love.

Straight up
xD
