Oh well. :) It's my first one and I've been working through school. I haven't quite gotten my school balance right yet. I do tend to sit at the school a lot, yet I rarely do home work because in my (crazy) mind I figure "I just spent 2 hours, if not more, in class and my brain just needs a break..." so out come the book and the iPod...oh well. :)
Being in college is so freaking sweet. Of course I do wish I had gone off to a four year school right off the back, but I'm proud of where I'm going and I'll get to a four year eventually. :) My education is any less important because I'm in community college then those of my friends, but again I'm happy. :) Plus, regardless of what anyone says, this does give me time to work out school with my boyfriend since he's a few years ahead of me, this will give us time to work out school together (meaning we won't have to be too far from each other) and I like that. I don't want distance to be what ruins us.
I've put off my homework for the past two days, while all the elementary/middle/high schools have off monday, I have my first test. Then another test on tuesday for biology and an essay due. Oh! and a speech. ... right. Time for work but instead of doing that, I'm blogging and watching "The Game Plan" with Duane (Dwayne? y? i?) "The Rock" Johnson...it was in USA. ;)
So...what else...oh! I never even posted anything about my 18 birthday! It wasn't the most exciting birthday...I had my 7 am class. -_- And, my parents kind of forgot about my birthday...yea...so anyway, despite having to get up early, I got an awesome surprise!!! Year passes to Island of Adventure/ Universal!!! So I spent the day there (in a princess tiara!) and yes I saw Harry Potter World I was beyond happy about that. :) The next day, my parents went present shopping. Got a couple things: gift cards to moe's and rave, new ear phones (yay!!!) and a huge cake. :) Sam, Jimmy's sister, got me this adooooooorable dress! And I bought myself concert tickets to Paramore (at UCF arena). Plus I got a massive amount of happy birthdays on facebook. So, while it wasn't an extravagant birthday, it was a nice one.
Now since I mentioned it before, the Paramore concert was too amazing for words. :) I was mad at myself for forgetting my camera...but I saw my favorite band ever and got to stay with the best older sister and future brother-in-law! There were three opening bands: Ada Watha (I believe it was...) a new band all the way from Sweden, then New Found Glory, and then Teagan and Sara. I felt like it just took forever for Paramore to finally come on, but so worth the wait when they did. The set was amazing, the arena was packed and we sat right above back stage. :) I didn't have VIP seats like my friend, and I wasn't in general admission where the luckiest couple of kids got to go on stage with Paramore, but I wouldn't have traded the night for anything else. One of the best nights of my life. Jimmy bought me a tank top that says the new album and the back says Paramore. I would live in the shirt is I could and if I wasn't so worried about it being worn out. ;)
random side note: I wish I was a ballerina...
Let's see what else...
Today (9/11) I happily celebrate a year and a half with my amazing boyfriend Jimmy. He means beyond everything to me, I absolutely love him and love being with him. He's the best thing in my life! He makes me happy and I love him. Yes, I'm mushy and cheesy, but I like it like that!
Also today, while I am happy, I do remember what happened 9 years ago. At the time I was living in Germany and don't remember much other then my mom coming to get me in the middle of the school day. All the grown ups were scared and acting funny and I had no idea what was going on. Then I saw the TV screen my parents had been trying to avoid having me see. I was scared and shocked, confused. The news said to lock the door, no one would say what was happening. I walked up and lock our door, even if we were across the ocean of the targets. I cried, I was so scared. Now, years later I have such an understanding of what happened. it's a terrible moment in our history and I just want to say that every single live lost in all the attacks on that day are not forgotten and you were not lost in vain. To all the their families, while you still may grieve, remember that the entire country is remembering you lost son/daughter and that we all send our strength to you. To all the heros at Ground Zero and at the other attack grounds, while you may still have nightmares, while you mourn you fallen team members, your bravery and your honor to serve your country at it's time of need is beyond the call of duty and we will be forever in your dept. To all involved on 9/11 some of you may be gone, but never forgotten. May you have the strength to look back on this day without much grief and fully accept all of our well wishes and strength.
I love all my readers (Megan I know you're there!!!) who ever you may be,
Laura
