I went summer of 8th grade going into 9th and I must say it was quite a wonderful experience. However, I don’t think I appreciated nature then as much as I do now. Going to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon (the 2 main highlights of the trip) were really mind-blowing, but I’m sure if I went right now I’d look at it at a different perspective. When I went to those places when I was younger, the only thing I remember thinking is Wow! Cool! I’ll never see anything like this again! Now that I’m older, I’ll probably think of it more in the sense of How was this made? How could something like this exist? Also looking back, I was more excited at the fact I was in different time zones every 3 or 4 days and that I was in states I never thought I’d be in. Also I think I’d put more into perspective how different the east coast is from the mid-west (I never actually went to the west coast, but I still call the trip cross-country) with all of the corn and wheat fields lasting for miles along the highway. Not a building or skyscraper in sight. I really just want to visit those places again. Along with California/Yosemite National Park. Oh, and Washington too.
1) I need a haircut
2) My hair never stays straight in this weather (look at the flip on the right side)
3) I love how little things such as a new bra make me feel better about myself.
4) I need to go back to weight watchers once school starts and exercise IMMEDIATELY.
Last day at work for 3 days …. PENNSYLVANIA TOMORROW
I have come to the conclusion that I have changed SO MUCH since last year. Even though it may be little things like taste in music and whatnot, college has definitely had a great impact on my life … even though I’ve only been in it for one year. I miss my Hofstra friends SO MUCH and I kind of just want to text all of them and be like “Hey … I miss you.” (even the people I don’t talk to anymore but I still have their numbers in my phone). I feel like there are already a couple of people I’ve met at Hofstra that I know I will never speak to again, but they have helped me in making my first year at college one of the greatest years I’ve experienced. Drama happened last year and it always will happen. Funny how I didn’t really have any drama with people my age but rather mostly with someone that was a junior who actually was 23. I may not have accomplished all the things I wanted to (…. like getting a 3.5 my first 2 semesters [and have a boyfriend]) but they have all taught me that you don’t have to have those things in life to be happy. You just need close friends and have people around you that you know will be with you through thick and thin. Gah I just want my sophomore year to start already. It’s definitely going to be SO much better than last year. I still wish I could dorm … but at this rate I might as well just get an apartment. I want the fall 2010 semester to start!
