I'm a college girl now. What?

I write to you now from the beautiful Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. I'm about nine to ten hours from home, where I grew up, where I've lived my whole ilfe, where most of my friends remain. Is it hard? Oh yeah, it's hard. And I've only been...

This is what wizard rock does to me.

It makes me believe in hope, love, magic, beauty, dreams. Yesterday (though it still feels like a today to me) I went to Bloomington, Indiana, with Michelle. We went for the Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo, with Math the Band, Uncle Monsterface, and Harry and...

The Hardest Summer

Last week was my last week of high school, and I graduated this past Monday. It was incredibly bittersweet: I was so excited for school to finally, finally be over — but at the same time, I realized that it was the end. I can be one of those kids who...

Four more days.

Last week, I voted for the first time. It was wonderful, ah! I had a bit of a crisis in the voting booth, as John Edwards was still on the ballot and I really, really wanted to vote for him — but I held back and decided that my vote should go towards...

I can't think of a good title, so this will have to do.

This is just a list of my life since May 1st. Yeah, there's a week or so missing there since my last update. But that was just a week of school, rehearsal and not enough sleep. Lists seems pretty darn good to me. Wednesday, April 30th: • Urinetown...

Still scared, less anxiety-ridden.

First of all, as Amy G requested: college talk! Well, more of it anyway. I'm currently trying to decide between Hampshire College and Juniata College. I'm leaning more for Juniata right now, but sometimes I'll be leaning more for Hampshire...

I am scared out of my mind.

So I just got back from a pretty interesting English trip. We went to Memphis and Oxford, Mississippi (hgfujdksdhsfajk the latter of which was AMAZING). My english teacher, Mr. Liimatta, is fantastic because he played Harry and the Potters for us. Honestly...

Why yes, I do hang out with pandas on a semi-regular basis.

It's been raining a lot lately. Earlier last week, we had those horrid storms that brought in terrible winds and even tornadoes (god, storms scare the crap out of me). It's been very muddy everywhere I go, caking my shoes and making my green fleur...

Better now.

Really, I'm over my angst (funny, we discussed angst a little bit in english today — starting our Existentialism unit — I'm too optimistic to be existential, apparently). Jasmine, Jordyn, Zulay — your comments made me really smile. :) Thank you...

Grades: I should probably feel more upset, but I'm surprisingly content.

So yes, today I spent basically the entire day at Third Street Stuff, the local quirky coffee shop, with Saskia. We did homework, read, etc. I finished The Town And The City — by Jack Kerouac, which kind of disappointed me as I expected this epic wonderful...

On idealism, mottos, and happy

At the beginning of last semester, I adopted a motto: "Suck it up and DEAL!" Vincent and I seem to like this a lot. But it's true: get over the drama and the hate and the negativity. Just live, roll with the punches, accept life as it is...

This snippet sums it up quite nicely:

Amy: you know what i've just realized? Amy: THIS IS THE BEST START TO A NEW YEAR EVER Amy: LIKE Amy: EVER Amy: IN MY LIFE Saskia: HAHAHHA For once in a very long time (or maybe ever), I feel good about the school board's decision on snow days...

Happy New Year!

Oh god. This is the year I turn 18! The year I graduate high school! The year I go off to college! This is the year I've been waiting for — and now that it's here, I'm kind of scared out of my mind. Ahaha. So last night, Saskia and Chungyen...
