The University of Georgia

Just checking in. I'm still here, I promise. I'm leaving to go to my first class of the day in about fifteen minutes. I love college, AY! That song's been stuck in my head for days! Okay, since I probably won't write again for a while, here's the rest of my week and my weekend.



Week: Homework, homework, homework. Find time to eat and go to the gym once or twice.

Friday Night: PHI SLAM! Mega Metallic Mania Crazy Chrome Insania!

Saturday: UL LAFAYETTE! GO DAWGS!

Sunday: Shelby and JR? Hopefully?

Monday: Relax, hopefully get to work on the homework I've neglected all weekend. Maybe visit home?

Then, it's back to the daily grind. Maybe I'll post on Tuesday. I'd like to write something creative? Have an amazing week and weekend guys, I love you!

"I admit I have been lax.."

I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up with blogging since the whole college thing started. I've been so amazingly busy.



For starters, this is the town that I now call home. I'm not there right now, I missed real home too much. I do really like it there, though. I'm sure I'll grow to absolutely love it over time, too. Right now, it's a bit overwhelming. I really want to be a part of the honors program next semester, so I'm busting my butt this semester. I'll leave you with a song.

On the corner of main street
Just trying to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and you say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind

I never really gave up on breaking out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind

The good old days
The honest man
The restless heart
The promised land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well
I don't mind if you don't mind 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go can you read my mind

It's funny how you just break down waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway with magic soaking my spine

Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind

The teenage queen
The loaded gun
The drop dead dream
The chosen one
A southern drawl
A world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well
I don't mind if you don't mind 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slipping in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman
Open the door
Don't let it stay
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said
I don't mind if you don't mind 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind

I have SO many reasons to smile right now:

1. I'm at home in Athens! I'm all moved in to my dorm room, lounging in my semi-comfy butterfly chair and watching ESPN as I type. It's great here, and I love it A LOT. The food is great, the buses aren't as confusing as the hype makes them seem, my bed is comfy, the people are friendly, and you get a pretty decent workout everywhere you go. I repeat, I LOVE IT HERE.

2. One of my best friends, who's been a state away for years, is about to finally be within an hour of me. 'Nuff said.

3. I have a Falcons game to watch tonight. Yay! I've missed football, leave me alone.

4. I'm taking a VERY positive step towards getting a job! I went job searching yesterday at the mall. I'm really hoping for a shot at a job at Earthbound, GameStop, Target, or maybe Barnes & Noble. Really, I'd be happy with a job ANYWHERE.

5. FREEEEEDOM! Again, 'nuff said.

Right now? I'm curled up under my favorite blanket in my chilly dorm room. I'm really sleepy, and I'm not feeling very well. My voice is going. I'm also roommate-less for the night. Taylor's car broke down on the loop on her way home from work. I have to wake up early tomorrow morning to make my way home for the weekend. My car needs a new muffler, and my great grandmother's birthday party is on Sunday. Sunday evening, it's back here for classes to start on Monday. Needless to say, I couldn't be more excited about my future beginning.
