- Here we go again

Well here goes the monthly update i guess....

School:  amazing.  im still considering transferring, but who knows.  im happy there, and thats all that matters.  semester went pretty well, but next semester i really need to buckle down and study.  no more partying.  i really am going to die next semester with: history 100, political science 100, english 102, communications/speech 202, cis 104, and education 150.  so yeah, lets see how long it takes until i go crazy. lol

Home/Break: i cant even begin to explain how AMAZING it is to be back home. even with working 35+ hours each week, ive managed to see almost everyone that ive missed like whoahhh <3 .  I mean, its just home...but I never realized how much i would miss woodbridge and all that we have to do out here.  I cant begin to tell you how shocked i was to walk into the martinsburg mall back at school and there was a : deb, jcpenney, bonton, sears, bath&body works, athlete's foot, and..yeah..thats basically it.  Its so nice to be back at a place where there is an ACTUAL mall with ACTUAL stores to shop at. lol.   But hey, thats life.

Last night was great.  I cant explain the deja-vu I had driving into the Hylton parking lot.  It just was so weird being at a choir concert , and not having a dress on.  It was great seeing all the rest of the alumni from last year..and years before.  Or how everyone telling me how amazing i looked..i was like..what? i havent changed! lol.  But..i did make my way on the stage...twice! lol.  All the current troubadours and troub alumni got on the stage and sang carol of the bells.  It was just so weird being up there and seeing the new faces, and even hearing the old voices that I've missed hearing.  And going up again to sing the Irish Blessing with everyone....and then visiting everyone on stage.  Like, how awkward it was giving d-gon a hug and him grinding/dancing up on me...ohhh alayna. lol.  ill see you outside in 5 minutes.  or seeing my becca..girl..weve been through it all*  or going to walk away and hearing joe yell "alayna, get back here."  I walked away without saying hi to joe scott....my rhapsody in rhythm partner at the spring show..boy was that insane.  but yeah, it was just nice seeing (certain) faces. lol

So i guess thats it for now....i doubt anybody reads this cause everyone's into myspace now. lol.  oh well

- going to TONY's all dolled up and dancing the night away.

so did i buy a pack of cigarettes? did i buy dip? did i buy a lotto ticket?  did i buy a porno? did i go gambling. NO.  but i did spend it with one of my bestests adrienne and it was fun =)

18 is a turning point in my life.  I'm considered an adult, but to be truthful I am far from it.  Inside, I'm still a little girl whos in this big world - scared and afraid of everyone and everything.  I'm away at college, on my own.  Being at the open house Saturday and leading a tour of seniors in high school made me think back to where I was a year ago.  One year ago around this time I was having the time of my life.  October was full of memories..to remember and forget.  Octoberfest weekend at Longwood, getting a job, college applications, singing the national anthem with the troubadours at the homecoming game, halloween, my birthday at hooters, all-county choir, and so many more.  Friendships were made, and some broke off.  A year ago i was carefree and still didnt have a clue as to what i wanted to do with my life, or where i wanted to go to school....

But I guess we all grow up at one point or another, and maybe it just took me a little longer cause I'm younger than everyone else...and now I can finally look back at what I've accomplished these 18 years I have been here, and I can look forward to everything that I can accomplish in the future.

And I owe it all to my parents...for eveything theyve done.  Every bump and distraction that came across our paths, they were by my side the entire time.  And theres no way I could have gotten this far without them.

Monday - Labor Day =)
