So, I’ve been here for a week.  I was pretty nervous/excited when I first moved in but I’m really having a lot of fun getting to know my ‘sisters’ a lot better and feeling a lot more included.  My favorite thing from the last year is this past week.  It sounds so cheesey but I’m really coming out of my shell and being able to act more like myself here.  I love my roommate and the people who live around me.  When I’m exhausted, I end up staying up until 2 am watching stupid shows on the food channel with Kendall or staying up til 1 am making up new songs with the girls across the hall when we have to get up 6 hours later.  Rush is improving my conversational skills like no other and I’ve met a ton of little ones that I like a lot that will hopefully go Alpha Chi.  I have a feeling that this will be a really, really good year.  Besides the fact that I sound like a man at the moment….

Hopefully this weekend I can get a (chick-a chick-a yea) fake id. That would be…amazing.

This song really comprehends what I’m going through right now—personally and with Kevin.  It’s about taking those risks/opportunities and do what you can with them while you are still abe to before it is too late.  I think that this is our theme song for the year. I love him

by Pete Murray:

And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity

Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don’t go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction’s not to far away

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see

Your coffee’s warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity

Don’t be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see

Hold on now your exits here
It’s waiting just for you
Don’t pause too long
It’s fading now
It’s ending all too soon you’ll see

Soon you’ll see [x5]

I saw this on my drive to TCU.   It made me feel amazing.

This morning I go to work (my last morning) and a girl cries because she misses her mom.  Then, she felt better until I told her I was leaving and she cried more.  I had a group hug with about 50 kids and about 5 were crying by the time I left.  Of course on the way home I shed a couple of tears myself.. I could not help it! Those little shits got to me I guess… I’m really going to miss them—only their cute sides though, not the annoying ones.

Kevin took me to a really nice restaurant Rosario’s for dinner and it was a surprise.  We had never been there before and it was mexican de deliciouso food.  Of course, when I left I cried.  I couldn’t help that either.  I know for an absolute fact that everything will be okay, I’m just sad to go and know that the summer is over.  But I’m so excited at the same time.  This is a weird bunch of emotions I have going on right now.

but i still kind of like them… from Wicked

I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you…

Tomorrow will be my last Monday at work.  Shit, this has gone by so fast.  Honestly, I think I’m going to be a little sad to leave my job.  Kids are easy to miss.. I won’t be woken up by the 4 brothers and sisters who ask me to open all of their cereals and watch them spill their milk all over my desk instead of their bowl.  I get mad at the time, but I look back and it makes me smile.  No more “Miss Molly” being cheerily called across the room.  Just back to the everyday college life, which isn’t so bad itself.

I’ll be on my own again.  No parents to bug me, but also no parents to make my dinner or wash my clothes.  I’m still excited though, I have a really good feeling about this year.  Still, the thought of not being around Kevin still upsets me.  I just don’t think I’ll ever get over that because I’ll always miss him when I’m not around him.  I know its not as  bad as it comes out to me because we talk all of the time and when I see him it will be a thousand times better, but I’ll still miss him the same.

Kevin and I saw Funny People today and it was, coinsidentially, funny! I spelled that wrong… but oh well.  We came up with some really good blog/website ideas.  Look for them in the near future… we could be famous!

I had this ugly wart on my finger that turned into a blister, and now it is a scab that is waiting to come off.  I’m trying really hard not to pick it off but it is UGLY and ANNOYING! Yuck.

So, haven’t updated in a while.  I’ve been doing the usual— working, Kevin, computer, watching The View and It’s On With Alexa Chung (my two new favorite shows), trying to draw, etc. etc.

Kevin and I went to Barton Springs last Sunday and that was one of the best days I have had in a while.  It was so pretty and refreshing to be around people who don’t give a shit.  Last night we saw The Orphan which was the freakiest movie I’ve ever seen, I think.  The ‘orphan’ was so good in portraying a really fucked up person.  Then we went over to a friends house, I pretty much dominated at wine-pong, and smelled everyone else’s smoke.  I had fun and didn’t feel awkward.  It’s nice to switch up the friends every once and a while.. which is also coming up.

I leave the 12th and I guess I’m excited but I’m still sad/nervous/etc.  I know it will be fine and a MUCH better year than last year and I am really excited about living in the AXO house and rush and all that.  I think this year will be the year when I find my nitch of friends.  It will be much easier living in the house and being more involved.  I will still miss Kevin just as much though :(

My job has been pretty good.  I have been working a lot and taking responsibility like no other every single day.  I don’t think just anyone could do my job.  It’s always something new and never the same thing every day.  Today they were going to Schlitterbahn but I didn’t get to go.  Oh well! I got off all day so I don’t mind that at all.

Back to watching The View…

Getting excited, getting sad, getting anxious, getting nervous, getting happy, getting stressed!

i love my new shoooes!
