Update!

So, today my family went to tour the United States Naval Academy. This dude my dad works with graduated from there in '79 and offered to show us around. It was super cool.

I'm really confused now. Everyone I talk to says they have these "I'm home!" moments when they arrived at the college they eventually went to. My older sister did with UD. My younger brother who is a freshman in high school had one such moment today at Annapolis and has since decided that if he isn't drafted out of high school for baseball, he'll go there! And then, there's me. Never having felt such a lovely emotion. (lol) I'm kinda worried that I'll never find the perfect college for me. I've visited like 5 colleges now and never felt that way. I wonder if it is because I tend to be an analytical person. My mom and dad say it's probably because I tend to try to logically think of things, not let my emotions decide. Like, I know I'm only there for four years so a deep emotional attachment to the place is unnecessary. Whatever.

I've passed all my tests and am officially a C/Maj come October, which has me quite excited. Speaking of CAP, our wing is hosting another Cadet Ball this year (it'll be in January) and we're inviting other wings (like usual). Last year, we invited Maryland. This year we'll also invite New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and NatCap (that is, as long as we get approval). :)

I'm looking to buy myself a typewriter and just need to find one. I've always wanted one.

Work tomorrow - toodles!

Boys, Life, Etc.

So, I haven't updated in a while because I haven't had anything to say.  Now I do.

I talked to the A-Man the other day.  He was all like "sorry I haven't talked to you lately".  Anyway, he's homeschooled now!  Like, how incredibly awesome is that?  Of course, I'm going to be a lot more careful.  I think we kinda rushed into our "non-relationship", lol.  Although, I definitely do want to see him again.

As for other guys, I definitely want to see the Jew-Jitsu Sensei again as well.  And the Slackerhorn.  And, of course, the KOMS.  But definitely the Jew-Jitsu Sensei.  :)

And, of course, in my lovely engineering classes, I'm one of one girl and one of three.  There's this guy that I think likes me in both of my classes.  He'll wait for me to finish so we can walk out to our cars together.  He'll help me with my drawings, etc.  I don't know.  Maybe I just want him to like me, lol.  

In my other class, this guy sits next to me but didn't previously.  On like the third day of class, he moved to sit next to me and has sat there since.  We joke around a lot too.  He rebuilds old cars - like Model T's!  How cool is that?  Very cool.  lol

And, then of course, there's the random guy at church.  But they're all like shorter than me.

My brother is going to a public school now.  He really likes it too.  And, benefit: he asked me to homecoming with him!  lol.  Not as a date but because I *really* wanted to go so he finally said he'd take me but I have to go as a "date" or else I can't get in 'cause it's a school thing.  lol.  But yeah, I'm going to go to a real homecoming!  I'm uber excited.  I'll have to find a dress...  Exciting!

Class is going well.  I'm doing well and am ahead in my homework as my professor gave us a chart at the beginning of the year that says: 'here are all your assignments and when they are due.  turn them in.'  I like my professors too!

Work is going well.  There's a sale going on at the store so I'll get more chances to be cool.  :)

Speaking of work, I have to leave for work now.

Happy September!

Happy September everyone! Hope y'all enjoy it muchos. I'm enjoying it so far.

Yesterday I went to Old New Castle with ma famile. It's quite nice there. I really like it. It's a quiet little town with a lovely park and the Delaware River just there. We all got on swings and passed a water bottle back and forth (all being my four younger siblings, my mother and I). We took up all but one swing. Then, when my dad showed up (to pick us up), we all linked arms and started skipping around singing "skip, skip, skip to my lou". On the line "lost my partner, what'll I do?", we all disconnected and skipped around alone. It was so fun. I loved it!

I kinda got a bit of a wake-up call about my attitude/persona today when my older sister told me that sometimes I act like a "perfect Christian girl breaking out". I guess in some ways she's right. Like, I started listening to Billy Joel (which really isn't moral at all) and dressing a bit more...idk, "fashionably". So, I've recently gone and removed almost all of the Billy Joel off my iPod (except songs like "Piano Man" and "Uptown Girl" which are ok) and I'm going to go through my clothes and toss out all the ones that I don't really fit, are too tight, etc.. I'll just have to watch myself. I guess Satan can be incredibly subtle. Like, one of my fav. Billy Joel songs was "Only the Good Die Young" which has a ton of "bad" lines like "I'd rather laugh with the sinners, than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun". Which isn't very good at all. 0:-)

Classes are going well. There's this guy who always waits for me and walks out to the parking lot with me and talks to me about classes and everything. He's not someone I'd date, per se, but it's nice to have a "friend"/"class buddy", lol.

I may be having my last day of work at the caterers on Friday! Yay! I'll have to talk to them.

Toodles!
