Itunes or This Will Be the Death of Me

Let's take a recap on what's been going on this week. Christmas (well that was last week but still), my twin cousins came in and we spent two days together playing games and we went ice skating, then we headed over to Ohio to see more family. I've been having some back pain around where my kidneys are, but it's nothing too bad and I'm not worried. I'll get to the doctor if it keeps up when the holidays are over.

In the meantime, I've been trying to transfer all my music from my old PC to my new Macbook. Let me tell you that is a pain. I think I've figured out what I need to do; I need to invest in an external hard drive. Hopefully that will work.

I believe another important note is the outrageous prices of gas. Traveling to Ohio really made me realize I shouldn't complain as much since gas was as high as 3.19. And I've heard that prices are even higher others places. Here, gas is 3.09 on average, but one station is still selling at 3.02. I go there or Krogers, depending on if I have fuel points or not. :)

I find myself dreading going back to school. I'm really liking just relaxing and doing whatever I want. But, as much as I don't want to go back and would love summer to come, I hope 2011 goes by nice and slow. I want as much time as possible. Never in my life did I think that would happen. But I find that I surprise myself a lot. Was terrified of high school, I was in no hurry to get my license, and just numerous other things that I expected to react one way and reacted in another.

One last little note. Be prepared for my reflection on 2010. That will be coming up next....

Welcome. Take off your shoes and stay awhile...

It's been a while since I had a blog. Middle school actually. That was a while ago...

I'm a senior now, in high school. That I should specify. I graduate at the end of May. I just got accepted to Marshall University, which I'm excited about? Trust me, the question mark is supposed to be there. When I got my acceptance letter, on Christmas Eve I might add, I burst into tears. I've now come to the conclusion that I was just overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting that letter yet. I'm excited now. And scared out of my mind.

This blog will mostly be about that. Me being scared out of my mind. I'm just a high school senior, trying to find her place in this world...

A few other things I should add. I'm in love. Really. I've been with the same boy for four years now. That my friends is a big deal. He is not going to Marshall. Reason number one I'm scared out of my mind.

I have many friends. Some I'm close too; others I'm not sure about. I sing, a lot (I'm president of the choir) and I act. I read. I want to be a journalist (another reason for this blog, experience writing). I believe in God. I don't, however, believe in love at first sight (ahah, surprised you didn't I?). My favorite band at the moment is Set Your Goals. Go take a listen to them if you don't know who they are. Really listen to the lyrics.

I hope you stick around with me for awhile and see what happens. In the meantime, welcome into my world. It's snowing at the moment and it's usually a little dysfunctional, but it's full of laughter and love. That I can promise.
