is a daunting task, but is getting me in the adventure mode. only 10 more days- I can’t believe it and I can’t imagine the culture shock that I will experience. It won’t be like anything I have ever come across, thats for sure. I can’t WAIT!
my sis set it up at our house- practice makes permanent… I’m getting way better and I can see it improving my balance and core strength. and its fun!
Tomorrow is the day!!! Today, I hit 94… I have 6.5 hours planned for tomorrow…. I can’t even express how excited I am!
and also a wall. :( but it is ok because I am going to volunteer 20+ hours over the next week, so I won’t make the time limit, but I will complete all the hours. It is a bummer not to make the yr. thing, but it just gives me more motivation for next year. This is a CONSTANT thing, and community service will continue throughout my life, whether I record my hours or not. Right now though, I am just living my life and trying my best to BALANCE community service and school and sports and travel, so I feel good about what I HAVE acheived over the last year!
Until I am in the center of it all for 6 weeks! I am SO excited and wish I was just THERE! Wahoo!
and she loved it! I’m really glad. I spent my fri. afternoon hanging out at her house (computer scrabble, baby!) Earlier in the week, she came over for dinner and then I opened the vents in her crawlspace (thrilling!). Even though it was a dirty job, I felt good about helping her and I know she really appreciated it. I’m headed over next week on fri. afternoon to help her more on the computer. Maybe it will become a weekly thing?
1.) Family friends that I feel comfortable enough with to hang out with.
2.) Being able to be COMPLETELY unsocial for an entire weekend.
3.) Finding my camera. THANK GOODNESS!!!!!
4.) Stormy afternoons
5.) Bonnie Raitt albums.
jumped her car, opened vents in crawl space. Checked out the garden, listened to memories of me standing in her yard when I was 5, next to a cooler at a “Welcome!” party for her. She said that that was when she started to love her home- I think it was just part of her story… haha! Coming for dinner at our house tonight…

We had dinner at this really cute little new restraunt in town. It was great to see people that my whole family knew and that she knew personally. An old friend stopped in the middle of the street to chat- she was so happy to live somewhere that that happens all the time. The whole crowd sang “happy birthday” when our pie came. The experience went really well and reminded me how much I love her.
twice a week, plus everyday exercise in the afternoons. I am going at this by living my life, eating well, and staying ACTIVE. yeah, I’m doing ab workouts to, but I know the pack is there, I just have to unearth it…
Almost. All I have left are 2 B’s- One in AP US History and one in English. Got to keep pushing at it. I say that, but as I type this, I am putting off a paper due tomarrow for a class that I am on the border for. OK- I’m outta here to write it!
we set up our line- beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for a more pretty spot or situation. You’ve got to love it!
dinner. way fun! Tomarrow is her b-day; we are going out to dinner and I threw her a bowl in my ceramics class, but I’m not done with it yet (oops!). She’ll understand.
