Thursday...what a day!

Ashley slept over last night, which was awesome because  I haven't been able to see much of her lately with school and work and stuff...

After we got up, we got ready and went to breakfast. After a quick breakfast, Ashley and I parted our separate ways. I ran off to class to be a half hour early...I really have the best luck this semester...notttt! It's okay though. I got to class, set up my stuff, and just got myself organized. After a grueling hour and fifteen minutes, Spanish class was over! Thank god! I headed off to my Literature class, and literally wrote 3 paragraphs on a quiz and started to brainstorm. I LOVE that class!

After Lit I went to lunch with Katie G! We enjoyed Crimson, as we do Tues-Thurs this semester, and just laughed about my sheer inability to be normal :) After leaving Crimson, I went to the involvement fair! But not before I ran into Kristen & Alysha! I really miss them :( We caught up for a few minutes and then went our separate ways. I wanted to check out the involvement fair and what was new and exciting on campus. I wanted to get involved this semester, because I have so much free time...but that didn't go as planned :(

I walked over to the new sorority table, Delta Phi Epsilon, to see what they were all about...I was interested when I heard they were coming to campus, so I had to talk to them and see what the deal was. I got a ton of information and when I got back to my room, I was crushed...my GPA, yet again, screws me. Hopefully I can rush in the spring, and enjoy it for a semester...we shall see! Always an upside here!

After that, I came back to my room and started to look at graduate schools. I have it narrowed to 4, and will start applying this weekend, then wait to get some $$ for the applications...the apps seem a little more broad than undergrad, but I just glanced at them, so I can't say for sure. But I'm excited! I have also started looking at apartments, to see what's out there and what I want in an apartment, and where I want to live!

Once I was done all of the above, I decided to take a nap. As I was climbing into bed, my phone rang. :) Nothing better than an afternoon call from the best guy in the whole world. Just wanted to say hi and catch up about the day, which to me is probably one of the best things I could have asked for these past few days. After that though, I took an epic nap. Woke up to realize it was late, and that I had dinner plans with Katie P, so I got up, fixed my hair, and was off! It was so great to catch up with her! Not to mention that while at dinner, my old floor partner, Chris, happened to be in crimson! That's three times today! Then Laura D came over and said heyy :) I really miss a few people I used to work with!

I came back after a relaxing dinner and started to get some homework done. Once 8 pm rolled around, however, I had to stop what I was doing and watch Vampire Diaries! This show is my sick obsession and I am so happy it's back! Not to mention the fact that it was SUCH a great episode! Tonight got a bajillion times better, until I checked facebook...

When I was in high school, I used to work for a child enrichment school, known as little Sprouts (yes, the "L" is lowercase). There was a woman who was friends with the owner and would occasionally do little work shops for the employees. She was diagnosed with cancer a few years back, and unfortunately, last night lost her battle. She was always full of life and a very positive person. Every time I came into contact with her, she was very polite and fun. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

Also, as cheesy as this is going to sound, one of my favorite boy bands growing up, was the Boston based band LFO. The lead singer, Rich, was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2005. It went into remission, but in 2008 came back. He had a stem cell procedure, and was hospitalized a few days ago. He had a stroke and was experiencing leg pains. I haven't found anything on what exactly caused his death, but theres rumors that it was the cancer. Anyway, he passed away yesterday as well...I happened to find out when the mass and burial will be, and where he will be buried...I plan on paying my respects, judge all you want!

Anyway, that was today. Tomorrow is going to be filled with sheer enjoyment...I have to go get a drug test done for Best Buy, and then come back here and fumigate my room! John is coming down tomorrow night, thank god, and as of right now, I have NO idea what we're doing...I'll have to do some serious thinking! Anyway, thats all for me! I am going to finish up some homework and hit the hay! Have a great night everyone!!!

Quote of the Day today....

"No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. 
Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. 
This is all practice."
