"Yea, well, it's kinda strange.

You think you have the someone and that the someone has you, but after a while you take it for granted, ya know? You just assume the someone will always be there, and that the someone will stick with you no matter what. So what you once fought so hard for becomes something that you don't need to fight for at all, and you kinda let yourself go. You stop trying. Why? Because you already have them, and they're all you need. So then it becomes okay for them to go off on their own and do their own thing. But it gets scary, ya know? When all they do is their own thing and you have no idea who they are anymore. I mean, you used to. You used to be really close, almost like the same person.

Well, now, that's a totally different topic isn't it? 'The same person'. No one can be the same - there'll never be another you! Barney told me that. Well, he was kinda right and

I try to explain how hellish my days are to people, but there's so much to explain that I thought it would be nice to post it in here for safe keeping.

Since college started, my schedule's been insane, I'm constantly doing something. Eventually I'll be more active on the site when I get the pass code for the student lounge and I'll bring my laptop etc. etc. But for now, here's pretty much what I do:

Mondays, Wednesdays
7:15 AM Wake up
7:50 AM Leave the house
8:28 AM Commuter Rail train leaves for Boston
9:20 AM Commuter Rail arrives at South Station
9:35 AM Arrive at the station near my school
9:40 AM Arrive at first class, Women, Gender and the Media
10:00 AM Class begins
10:50 AM Class ends
11:00 AM Arrive at next class in a different building
12:00 PM Class begins, Freshman English 101
12:50 PM Class ends
1:30 PM Arrive at art school after traveling down the hill to the train
2:00 PM Class begins

So today was my first day in college.

I got dropped off in Boston alone with absolutely no idea where to go. I was dropped off in front of the building I was meant to go to, so that was ok. But as soon as I walked into the building was when the "adventure" began.

Adventure Redirection:

I walked into the building with my schedule and went up to the security desk, asking for the class Women, Gender and the Media. His reply is "I didn't know we had classes in this building..."

Some woman intercepts me and said "I think you need to go to the Sociology Department, it's on the 5th floor." So she leads me there, tells me to go down the hall, and I go in.

I ask about the class and the woman says, "That's not our class." She calls some people and says "Okay, here's where you need to go. Go down to the second floor and turn right, there's a door, through the door is your class."

I go to the second fl

This blog I'm actually writing on the correct date so the date I'm posting it is when I wrote it, unlike the first three.

I took my camera with me to Canada and took a few hundred pictures. Nowhere near as many as I took on my first trip, which averaged about 700 pictures, but the quality came out much better this time due to me having a better camera.

That being said, the 4th of 4 blogs will be a summary of the vacation, illustrated by the pictures I took.

The Land

The backyard was just as I remembered it from last time - huge and beautiful. I took this from the end of the backyard, the house in the center ((white)) being theirs. That's not the end of their property, but I didn't want to go further so I stopped.

To the right of where I was standing in this picture there's a huge peninsula of a fishing company. What I didn't notice last time, so I'm not sure if it's new or if I wasn't look

Oh sweet Jesus – the day before we left for Canada we were staying at a hotel in Maine, and my mom's friend came with us to move us in since she was near there at the time. I forget what we were saying, but my sister jumped in with “How do you make babies?”

And so I, being the clever and witty girl that I am, say “You spit in each others' eye.”

Later on, my mom's friend was making fun of me because I said I hate it when people touch me. She said “Well I've been with my husband for almost 5 years, and I touch him all the time.” And my sister goes “Did you ever spit in each others' eye?”

A few days later in Canada, I said “My only criteria for a man is that he has to know how to cook a good steak, and my sister jumped in “And what about spitting in your eye?”

All the times she mentioned it, she totally wasn't joking. So I'm pretty sure I convinced my ten-

The last time I went on vacation it was pretty fun. I took loads of pictures and it flew by. But for some reason this time I'm really homesick – probably because this time I've left something behind.

The first time I left, I'd been through a bad breakup with my first BF, so it was nice to get away. I also had no friends at the time that were worth missing since my internet time had severely diminished in my obsession over the aforementioned BF.

This time I was perfectly fine before I left – totally happy, there was really nothing to get away from. Instead I took myself away from my friends and all contact with people who make my life interesting. Those being Shane, Marcus, Jaffers, Sapp, and various other people on here who I've come to consider my friends. Instead I'm sitting here on my laptop that's all decked out in awesome equipment... with no internet. It's like wa

I'm posting this now, but technically I wrote this on a different day since I just didn't have the internet, so I'm dating each piece as I write it. It's also pretty long so I'm breaking the vacation up into a few blog posts...

First of all, this vacation sucks – I totally regret coming. I bought a looooad of stuff, which I'm happy about ((since I made tons of good deals along the way)), but I'm incredibly homesick, frustrated, and anxious to get home.

I thought today was Thursday, meaning tomorrow would be Friday – the day before we leave. Awesome, I was so happy. Then I find out it's only Wednesday – TWO days before I leave. Now I'm in a totally rotten mood which you may or may not be able to tell from my lack of smileys and overall emotion.

Quite a few things have contributed to said mood:

Everyone here eats constantly. I mean freaking constantly, everyon

So uhhh...

I'm definitely trying to colorfulize this blog. Klunky has no idea to do it. Like what was he thinking tearing me away from important and people and important work to come in here and blog and write this stuff and totally find all the CSS crap involved on a blog page? Am I so nice I have to do this? Am I so uninteresting that I have nothing else better to do? Is the sky blue? Will Web Developer work right? Have you stopped reading this.

Yes.

No I'm kidding :3 ilu irl Klunk.

But seriously yea. Departing on another amazing web designing journey during which I will find CSS selectors, become extraordinarily frustrated and ultimately make Nate do everything for me because he's just amazing like that.

So here I go.

Test post, BLAST OFF.

Oh wow ;-; I suck.
