Vague yet entirely profound.

This should be a motto for life, really.

I don't ask for much.

Is that so much to ask?
Really?

Understand Life

I hear that. Love this. <3

I really do.

While I have a large group of friends,
there is a very small group who is especially close to my heart.
I hope they know who they are.
I love them very much, and the above statement is so true.

buh buh buh busy

taking a few minutes to check in. i've been busy, yes. let's talk about my past few weeks.

I just got back from a weekend in New York City with my mom and my sister. I really love the city. Like...really, really. So much that I'm already ready to go back. That may or may not have something to do with the fact that Syracuse has snow on the ground (again...ugh). Anyways, I came back sick and fatigued beyond belief. That, and my muscles are killing me still. Remind me to start working out so that doesn't happen anymore.

The weekend before that, I was in Fredonia with my two best friends, M & J. We locked ourselves in J's apartment and spent the weekend just being together and acting like fools. Those two are the best friends I could ever ask for, really. I love them very, very much.

Before that isn't really exciting at all, but I did do a lot of work--papers, assignments, tests and quizzes. All that good stuff...

This week is filled with preparing for other tests and starting on papers and what not. And also preparing for Spring Break. Which starts the week after next. Woo!

This year, M and I are going to Chicago for about five days. Hopefully we'll take some time to look at a few grad schools and then obviously just be in Chicago. I'm really excited about it. It should be a grand old time. I just wish J could come with us...because then it'd be five days of ridiculous fool-i-tude.

Overall, things have been decent. Despite being sick currently, I'm hoping that everything will remain awesome.

Catchin' up.

So the past couple weeks have been decent. I've been keeping pretty busy with school work and admin duties for UU. Nothing too stressful, though. I'm trying my best to make sure I don't have a repeat of last year's spring semester.

My finger got sliced pretty bad yesterday. I was helping my mom move this big heavy TV we have in our basement and just as we picked it up, the TV swung and smashed my hand into the corner of the cabinet it was right next to. It cut my finger right open. I have pictures if you want to see them, but they're a little gross and I didn't want to freak everyone out with them. Regardless, I have it bandaged up with and the bleeding has pretty much stopped at this point.

Mom almost made me go get stitches last night, but I refused to. See here's the thing about me and all things related to the medical field: I don't like medical needles at all. Like...Yeah. I'm serious business about this. Unless I really, really have to. I won't get a shot or blood taken or anything. Same thing goes for the needles used to do stitches. No thanks.

Anyways, My finger is mostly okay at this point. I just have to learn to stop smashing it into things. I don't hit my hand on things often, but I never really noticed how much I actually do it until now.

But yes. That's pretty much everything with me right now. How are you?

44.

It's here.
The day has come.
Will you remember where you were?
What you were thinking?
How you felt?

I will.
I can't possibly ever forget.
It was one of the most magical and inspiring moments I've ever witnessed for this country.
I'm ready for change.
I'm ready and hopeful.

Fact: That bible hasn't been used since 1861 when President Abraham Lincoln was sworn into office. The amount of symbolism in that is overwhelming.

all i've got left is a dollar and a dream...

2009.

it's finally here.
2008 was neat, but i have this feeling.
a feeling that 2009 will be neat also.
