mood: doing the saturday thing with the boys...
music: jack johnson - belle


i think this is the best summer ever.
period.




much love to all my bellas who are abroad right now...
hope you are having the time of your lives --
i will be joining you soon!




hey, o-towners, i'll be back on june 14th for a week before europe.
let's make it count, shall we?

mood: peace
music: jack johnson - on and on

it is 8 in the morning. i am moving out today. i am done.


this year has been crazy.
the most emotionally draining. the most emotionally rewarding.
guess the two are complicated.


so now we begin again. new chapter et. al.
junior status means i'm halfway done with college.
but didn't i just get this figured out?





that's cool though, i'm into beginnings. and sometimes endings, too...






closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

mood: sweet
music: j-lo - get right




remember when the school year was drawing to a close?




and finals seemed the least of priorities.
and move-out seemed at least a world away.

mood: eep!
music: the shins - new slang



my roommate just brought to my attention the fact that tomorrow is my last day of class.
joy. pure, unadulterated joy.

a little terror as well.
i have too much to do.
not enough time to do it.
same old same old.




and i'm sick. ever so sick.
same old same old.



and i desperately wish someone could be my calm during this storm...




but i'm alive.
and in love.






and that may be just enough to see me through.

mood: ?
music: daniel powter - bad day

where is the moment we needed the most?
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
they tell me your blue sky's faded to gray
they tell me your passion's gone away
and i don't need no carryin on

you stand in the line just to hit a new low
you're faking a smile with the coffee you go
you tell me your life's been way off line
you're falling to pieces everytime
and i don't need no carryin on

cause you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day
the camera don't lie
you're coming back down and you really don't mind
you had a bad day
you had a bad day

well you need a blue sky holiday
the point is they laugh at what you say
and i don't need no carryin on

you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day
the camera don't lie
you're coming back down and you really don't mind
you had a bad day

sometimes the system goes on the blink
and the whole thing, it turns out wrong
you might not make it back
and you know that you could be that strong
well i'm not wrong

so where is the passion when you need it the most?
oh you and i
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

cause you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day
you see what you like
and how does it feel for one more time?
you had a bad day
you had a bad day...







oh i don't know. it's kind of a crazy idea. but i feel like i've been running. running away mostly.
and now maybe i can slow down.
and now maybe i can stop.
maybe.

mood: calm before the storm
music: bbmak - again (sammie, i just can't stop listening. i think i've got a problem)




this time last year, i had been out of school for a week already.
lame.








14 days.
