Yet again I have some time to write down a few things that I have never experienced before now, that can help me highlight the more interesting place my life has turned, over the past year.
1. I knew of 14 couples who are engaged (some have, by the time this entree is posted are already married).
2. Finally got away from the HLE (after 4.5 years!) and started a new job working as a cake decorator apprentice at Publix. I love it! :)
3. Turned 21 and went into the popular '21 & up' club in Tally with some of my sorority sisters, all of whom have since graduated from FSU. It was just like every other one...incredibly crowded, filled with large drunken people, dark and smoky, and a waste of time to be in. I lasted a grand total of 45 minutes inside it...oh well. Spending time with sisters has its price I guess!
4. Visited Texas! Brigitte and I went to visit our friend Zandy, who lives in San Antonio, for spring break and we has so much fun! I love Texas! We saw many quatrefoils, ate amazing mexican food, and even rode a cute little trolley--which I have wanted to do forever--through downtown San Antonio. We saw The Alamo, which was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and saw a huge mural on the wall of the hospital where Zandy was born. El Mercado, was so amazing! It is this huge market that has authentic mexican products like blankets, hats, figurines, butterflies, and lots of armadillos...which seem to be a popular animal in Texas. I also saw huge cacti, like 5 or 6 different kinds of cacti!
5. I have started reading the Anne series...oh what a joy it has been! I am a late bloomer when it comes to discovering Anne Shirley...most of my friends were in high school when they recommended L. M. Montgomery's series. I guess I wasn't ready until this point in my life to really appreciate Anne and the wildly unabandoned journeys she goes on. I am now at the point where Gilbert and Anne are writing to each other since Gilbert is away in Medical school and Diana has just become a mother and named her first son, Fred, (after his father of course).
It's so funny how much I can empathize with Anne and the emotions she feels at different points in her life...it has been fun to read and laugh at her descriptions of things and people she encounters!
6. I received an email from the University telling me that the religion class I chose to be a part of in the fall semester has been cancelled. Luckily, there is another class I can take that will be just as interesting...and I just learned that we will be reading a C.S. Lewis book! Awesome!
7. Lived in Tallahassee in May and June to take summer school and work. I definitely missed Orlando quite a bit, but was taught a lot about patience, dependence on God in everything, Publix and espanol while I was in Tally! ;)
8. Finally had my room painted over with NICE colors (neptune blue and gray--I created my own storm cloud!), instead of the ugly seafoam green and baby pink I've had to stare at since we moved into this house. Thanks Jonathan for helping us! My door looks amazing! ;)

Farewell dear blog...I shall miss thee
Sadly, I will not have the use of my beloved computer for a few weeks while I am up in Tallahassee studying espanol dos and working at Publix. I will be staying with a friend of mine, and will try not to use their family computer too much. So, as a result, my blog will be *sniff* abandoned for awhile, until I can reunite with my desktop in Orlando....so farewell for a few months...I shall return as quickly as possible!

Green Apple Jones Soda
Today Brigitte and I took a day off of school to work on our papers for class. So far, she has written all of her research paper...and I am sitting here writing this entry because I have writer's block. I am frustrated and do not know how to start my paper. I HATE this feeling. I have to watch a movie and decide whether it is portraying class, gender, sexuality, or race. Then write about it using examples from the plot and film techniques, texts we have used in class, and class notes. WHY IS THIS SOOO HARD FOR ME TO DO? I don't understand....it really shouldn't be this hard. but it is. AHHHHHH! So I continue to drink my Jones Soda (Green Apple flavored) --which is surprisingly tasty!--and hope that by some miracle when I watch this movie again words will begin to flow and I can write something down!! ugh.
It's not helping that I know I am going to be up until 2 am. I have the late shift monitoring at our social tonight...and I really really really do not want to do it. I just want to write this paper, get it over with and go to bed. But looks like God has other plans....why? I also don't feel too well. Great, just the way I wanted to end this semester...complaining and feeling frustrated.
