So, Tennessee was amazing. It was like...the best time ever and Derek was really great about my being there. His family was super friendly and I really felt welcome. :) Plus, the concert was phenomenal!! Trans-Siberian Orchestra is quite amazing - I might just have to buy some of their soundtracks hahaha!
Being home has been lovely but it's kinda weird cause my grandparents are here so I kind of have to be on my best behaviour and can't really relax much. It very much sucks. But, I'll be back at USAFA soon enough, I suppose.

Breaks
Thanksgiving break in like...25 days! :)
Christmas break starts on the 15th of December. I'm going to Nashville with Derek to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Kentucky on the 17th then flying home to Philly on the 18th for the rest of my break.
It'll be awesome.
I know it.

Survival of the Fittest
So at prog, I found out that I was on Academic Probation. But! It's only because of a test that I have to take - I'm not actually failing the class. So, that's all good.
Competed in the Top of the Rockies parliamentary debate in Wyoming last weekend and I was a finalist :) yay! Unfortunately, I won't be going on the Azusa-Pacific trip but I will be going on any trips that don't conflict with Calculus class.
I'm investigating three majors now: English, Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering. I think I'll probably do an engineering but you know...
46 days until I'm home for Thanksgiving!
We did first shirt, first snow last night. Pretty much we hall-brawled our first sergeant into the elevator and dragged him out into the snow. I got a busted up knee and slightly sore hip in addition to a cut up hand and a huge bruise on said hand.
Training session today - rifle run. I have a feeling we're going to run to the B-52 or something... :)

I love USAFA!
Seriously.
You'd have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming...LOVE IT!
27 pushups now going in or out of the squadron but only for this week. :)
It's Navy Week. We have a Squid in our squad so we get to play pranks on him all week long. This morning, he wore his parka with a patch, sword and pirate hat and we all greeted him "Good morning squid! Go Air Force - SINK NAVY!"
It's going to be an AWESOME week.
Go Air Force
Sink NAVY!

Snow!
It's snowing here! Last day of summer and it's snowing! I'm soooo siked! I love it. :)
Everyone has decided I'm ridiculously too optimistic so they get annoyed by me. Especially cause i'm just like... too happy all the time soooo yeah.
But I seriously am happy. It's amazing how when you act in God's will, you become ridiculously happy and just can't change it. You're just happy.
Even getting up at 6am, while not a pleasure, is not horrible...

I love how I like never post here anymore...
Went to my first college party last night. Totally partied it up. Danced with like...15 different guys and stared down my debate team partner until he danced with someone, lol.
It was AMAZING.
LOVE it here. :)

I'm Back :)
Yes. I'm actually back online haha...
and I have been since the 8th of August - or thereabouts. But I failed to care enough to blog soooo...
Yeah.
I like USAFA so far. It's enjoyable and the classes are interesting. It can be rather stressful but c'est la vie, honestly.
Knowledge tests are fun. :D
Engineering is awesome.
Calc is...interesting.
Will blog more later.

Au Revior
This message is my au revior. It is not a goodbye. It is an 'until we meet again' which is what au revior means. But au revior is French and going into the military, do I want to be French?
Arrivederci. Until we meet again - farewell.
I'll be back online in August (like the 5? I think...) and I should return to my texting greatness sometime around then too (unless I'm stuck with a screwy squadron that doesn't give me my phone back until Thanksgiving hahaha!). I will definitely miss everyone. I already do. And I've only been here a week... :P
Please write. Like, I get it - you're busy, you have a life and things to do but like, just a letter saying "hope you're still alive" would be fantastic.
Muchos hugs to everyone.
I'll see you on the other side.
Arrivederci.

Colorado
I'm in Colorado now at Steamboat Springs, which is a slightly higher altitude than USAFA...
It was really tough. I cried for most of the 4 hour flight out here. Which knowing me, is saying something. I don't show emotion much at all. Soooo...yeah, the fact that I was crying in public means I was pretty upset.
And I kept asking to go home. And my mom says I have to at least finish BCT. And then we'll think about it. Because they've already booked out for Parent's Weekend soooo hahaha... Yeah, I have to.
It's annoying. Cause I'm excited at some parts of the day and then I get these massive downers and get incredibly depressed. It helps when I can talk to people but yeah, ppl don't always want to talk.
Went shopping for some other stuff today. It's all g and I got back and my parents had put together a really quick birthday party for me! They even got me presents. :) One of the coolest ones is a citizen eco-drive watch which runs off solar power - sexiness, I know. :P And clothes to wear to USAFA on I-Day and a 'how-to-belly-dance' kit :D and a bag to carry all my USAFA stuff in on I-Day.
I'm nervous weird right now. I think I want to go home but I think that's caues I miss people, not cause I don't want to do it. I'll survive. I'll get back to DE in 157 days. And I'll be chipper. I'm a Chinnery. I can't quit. Never back down; never accept failure.
Colorado is awesome though. I love being back out west. I'm definitely a West coast girl. Evergreen trees. Blue skies. Sun. No humidity! Mountains...
Happiness in a bottle.
Someone send me some.

Scared. Nervous. Anxious
I leave tomorrow.
Tonight is my last night in my bed, until Thanksgiving (160 days!)
I have insane amounts to do today. Gah.

Yertle
I have a turtle,
His name is Yurtle,
He's brown and black,
And striped on his back,
My dog tried to eat him,
But advice from Jim,
Said to give him a pan,
Of water to lay in,
A cool damp spot,
And lettuce - no rot,
So that is the story,
Not romantic nor gory,
Of my dear little turtle,
The turtle named Yertle.

Things
So, I took the Spaatz today. I failed the Aerospace by like 10 questions - which I legitimately did not know so it's all g. Missed the leadership by one question - which I knew the answer to. :P Passed PT and am pretty sure I passed the essay. :) Whatever - now I have 4 months to prep for the Aerospace/Leadership more. I'm pretty excited for Christmas break - which is probably when I'll take it again.
I'm kinda addicted to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGECJP3phyY It's kinda become my theme song lately. Like, I'm going to have to work harder, run faster, do better and be stronger. But BCT will whip me into shape.
I'm excited. But nervous.
I leave in 8 days.
I don't know if I want to leave in 8 days!....
I'm definitely going to miss people. You all better write me a lot.
Gah - I'm going to get all emotional - repress! repress! done.
I'm not thinking about any more.
I'm going to go to the beach before I leave DE cause I know ppl will ask about that so I should probably have at least visited one hahaha...lol.
I also kinda want to go bungee jumping.
And I want to hang out with Jason a lot because I won't get to see him until maybe next summer after I leave cause he might be deploying and would be gone everytime I get home for breaks. :( But whatever. I don't mind if he deploys, as long as we can write to each other haha.
And I'll get to see my family for like another week following my leaving so it doesn't really matter as much. Like, I feel like I'll miss my family and all but I'm kinda feeling like I'll miss my friends more, which is weird. I don't think I'll miss them more - just the...activity.
Sigh.

Gradulation
So, I've graduated.
And I had my grad party.
And it was pretty awesome. Like, THE.SHIZ. And, that's saying something hahaha...
First, we had chill time. Everyone hung out, ate food, drank Mountain Dew, and laughed. And talked. Then, around 4:30/4:45pm, my ALO officially presented me with my certificate of appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. And everyone cheered and then sang 'Happy Birthday' cause it's one month until my birthday (officially, today).
Then, lots more talking, laughing, playing ultimate, having photos taken by my dear Aunt Margaret and Mr. Ewing (LOTS of pix - see FB), and I cut the cake. Well, hahaha, I was about to cut it and then it was all like "haha just like a wedding cake" and then all "wait - where's Jason - let's do this" and so we pretended to cut it like a wedding cake ahahahaha... And Lauren's like "feed it to each other!" and we laughed and were like "uhhh no". Hahahahaha...good times.
After everyone left, except the teens who were sleeping over, we went to the Barn and chillaxed. Then we played Bloody Murder and Sardines. Both were cool but got kinda dull after like the fourth time. When I was 'it' for Bloody Murder, I totally tripped over our backyard, ran into a ditch and did this super awesome James Bond roll thing hahahahahaha....it was the shiz... :)
After that, we watched "The Dark Knight" and then everyone pretty much went to sleep.
Except me. Cause I drank a glass of MtDew at like 3am so I was pretty wired... (Actually, I've determined that I should avoid Mountain Dew. Because everytime I drink it, it makes me ridiculously insane and seriously impairs my judgement. Like, I do things I wouldn't normally do. I want to say it's like alcohol or like getting drunk but I don't know what getting drunk's like soooo lol. Let's leave it at I'm not drinking that stuff again.)
So I didn't really sleep at all. I dozed but didn't sleep.
And now it's like 4pm and I am like tired but too busy to sleep haha.
Good times

Today
was weird.
Violin practice w/girls went well. It'll be awesome on Saturday.
Grad rehearsal was a waste of time - I made a joke of it haha...
My cousin ended up not coming down from Canada. So, the whole switching clubbing from last week to this week so she could go was a waste. Then everyone else was like 'yeah, i can't go either' so it's sunk. Maybe next week...
I AM SO EXCITED FOR SUNDAY!!!
Sigh
Making cookies. Like a quadruple batch. Flour everywhere hahaha

P$#####
So, like, last night I couldn't sleep. So I came downstairs, did some studying for my Spaatz and chatted with a guy I know about 1337 hahaha... We're all: "ñ33K$ f0R3v3R" hahaha...sigh.
But, of course, then I overslept haha...ah well.
It's so messed up. My brain is wide awake and running on overdrive and my body is like fading fast. My body is rapidly collapsing - my eyes are like shutting and my brain is like "okay, and now we're going to investigate the 27th number in Fibonacci's sequence with an emphasis on the cube root of the square..." and I just want to SLEEP.
Tomorrow will be interesting. :) My cousin arrives from Canada. I go clubbing for the first time in my life. Alone.
Kidding - my sister, her friend, her friend's friend, my friend and my cousin will be with me. :)
But it'll be weird not having a guy there...sigh... Males that read this - you should live closer so I can take you clubbing with me hahahaha....
And there's a rehearsal for graduation at like 1pm. But I have to practice my violin with them at like 10:30am sooo yeah. And then I'm free after that.
I want to hang out people.
Saturday will be a recovery from clubbing day. :P And graduation. And graduation reception. And graduation party.
Sunday will be the shiz. Cause it'll be my party. Now - curious thought. Jason says he'll come after he gets off work at 3:30pm but like, I'm wondering how he's going to get to my house from work cause he doesn't have a car. And I'm not going to get him cause I have to play hostess...hmm.... Whatever. It's not my worry - he said he'd be there. It's his worry.
Orthodontics appt today - I've graduated. Never have to go back unless something happens or whatever. Hahahaha yessssss!
Making a playlist for my grad party.
GAAAHHHHH Too much to do.
2 weeks left. :/

Today
I studied for my Spaatz. Aerospace studying, that is. The leadership comes more naturally to me so I'm studying what I don't know.
I put on my bikini and suntanned in our backyard. The whole fam was like "why?" and I was like "if I can't wear it in my backyard, how am I ever going to wear it on the beach?!" And it was awesome.
Then, because I had nothing covering my stomach, my dad took the paint roller which we were using to paint our barn doors Greenbank Green and paint rolled my belly. Hahahaha!! I looked so hawt, lol. I took a lot of pix of that - but idk if they'll go on FB or not. I have a feeling my dad wouldn't like pix of me in a bikini on FB, lol. :P
Ran a mile in 8:01 which is my best time yet. :)
The church down the road is having this huge awesome carnival. And I totally want to go to it. It looks like it'd be really awesome! But like, I don't want to suggest going to Jason, lol. It's his turn to think of something to do =P But yeah, I'm totally going to go. Even if I end up going by myself. It's all this week so I think I'll go on the 4th - Thursday.
*excited*

Things I Wrote in Yearbooks
"don't drink and derive"
"never kiss a guy with gum in your mouth"
"when on the ladder of success, don't let guys look up your dress"
"there's a difference between geeks and nerds. I happen to be both"
"to my biggest fan"
(to a guy named Rane) "when it Ranes, it pours"
"it makes me smile, it makes me laugh, to think you want my autograph, but that's okay, I think it's fine, here: Karen Chinnery, that'll be $9.99"
(written really really small) "sorry for taking up so much room"
(written really really big) "sorry I couldn't use any more room, other people wrote first"
"when at first you don't succeed, do it how your mother told you"
"when life gives you lemons, make grape juice then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it"
"live free and die hard"
"if you die laughing, you're still dead"
Yup... there were others too but I can't remember them...

Continuation
of Life
So, I'm done school. I finished on the 23rd of May. I don't graduate until the 6th of June but I'm done by school standards. I, personally, feel obligated to finish my British Lit text however. And I'm definitely going to finish Physics because it's kinda interesting, haha....
I have a whole junkload of forms to send in to USAFA which are due on the 1st and I didn't remember any of that until like yesterday. So I'm frantically filling out security clearance forms and immunization records and all that other stuff.
Took Susan out for coffee yesterday and we had a long chat about guys and relationships. It's funny cause we seem to be at similar stages in our relationships, lol. And we have like the same thoughts/concerns/etc. Kinda peculiar, actually. But I guess that we're so similar it works out. It was nice getting to talk to her again cause she's really the one who grounds me, lol. Like, I'm the crazy one who jumps into things and ends up biting her foot off going "ohhh...should not have done that". And Susan's the one who grabs me by my arm and yanks me back from the edge of the cliff going "don't be stupid, you idiot, duh you shouldn't do that!" Hahaha...I'd spend so much time in jail without her, lol! Not, jail jail - cause like I wouldn't break the law, but like a mental/emotional jail cause I'd messed up my life. She's so sensible. I need that sort of sensible person keeping me from going too crazy-crazy. :) I <3 her.
Chilled with Jason on Monday. Had fun. We were watching Star Trek - the original series - at first but the episode ended so we watched the world's strongest man competition on ESPN instead, lol. And yes, we did actually watch it (Sarah). =P I think we're going out again tonight unless something changes...
Yearbook signings today at TEK. I have a bunch of lovely funny things to write in people's yearbooks. I'm excited hahaha! Things like "Friendship is like peeing your pants: everyone can see it but only you can feel the warmth" :P (I'm not doing that one)
Sooooo yeah.
Life continues.
21 days. :/
So, I'm done school. I finished on the 23rd of May. I don't graduate until the 6th of June but I'm done by school standards. I, personally, feel obligated to finish my British Lit text however. And I'm definitely going to finish Physics because it's kinda interesting, haha....
I have a whole junkload of forms to send in to USAFA which are due on the 1st and I didn't remember any of that until like yesterday. So I'm frantically filling out security clearance forms and immunization records and all that other stuff.
Took Susan out for coffee yesterday and we had a long chat about guys and relationships. It's funny cause we seem to be at similar stages in our relationships, lol. And we have like the same thoughts/concerns/etc. Kinda peculiar, actually. But I guess that we're so similar it works out. It was nice getting to talk to her again cause she's really the one who grounds me, lol. Like, I'm the crazy one who jumps into things and ends up biting her foot off going "ohhh...should not have done that". And Susan's the one who grabs me by my arm and yanks me back from the edge of the cliff going "don't be stupid, you idiot, duh you shouldn't do that!" Hahaha...I'd spend so much time in jail without her, lol! Not, jail jail - cause like I wouldn't break the law, but like a mental/emotional jail cause I'd messed up my life. She's so sensible. I need that sort of sensible person keeping me from going too crazy-crazy. :) I <3 her.
Chilled with Jason on Monday. Had fun. We were watching Star Trek - the original series - at first but the episode ended so we watched the world's strongest man competition on ESPN instead, lol. And yes, we did actually watch it (Sarah). =P I think we're going out again tonight unless something changes...
Yearbook signings today at TEK. I have a bunch of lovely funny things to write in people's yearbooks. I'm excited hahaha! Things like "Friendship is like peeing your pants: everyone can see it but only you can feel the warmth" :P (I'm not doing that one)
Sooooo yeah.
Life continues.
21 days. :/

Prom
So I went to prom tonight (last night?). It was actually pretty lame haha...
Let me start earlier.
I went and got my hair and makeup done professionally before hand. It was a lot of fun and I loved the stylist I had. She was funny, and we had similar taste in music, etc. :)
I'll post pix of that on FB.
So wow - yeah, this prom? Like, the DJ could not. I mean, the entire dance was done by requests so the music was all like couples songs and that sort of thing... Like, if I were DJing and after turning on a song, the entire floor cleared, I think I'd change the song?! But nooooo...instead, we got to sit through like four different dedicated songs and a ton of slow songs. And the first song they played was "Boom Boom Pow" which isn't exactly a "get out of your seat and rock your bahootie off" song. lol...whatevahh!
I did have a relatively good time though. I kinda texted my eternal love, my older sister, Derek and Jason throughout so I always had something to look forward to when I sat down - which happened a lot hahaha!
Seriously, the church dance I went to was more rocking than this one! Kinda messed up. I think stating the rules before the dance kinda dampened the environment though: "Your lips are yours - don't kiss here. And, if it looks like you would be having sex without your clothes, don't do it." Pshhhh - that kinda cut out like aaaaaalllll the dancing possible! Hahaha
Not that I wanted to dance like I was having sex. Puh-lease. That's actually really nasty. I. Wouldn't. Do. That.
So yeah... I'm glad I went cause it is senior prom. But it met my expectations of kinda sucking so...yeah...
Any other questions, please ask.
No, I did not dance with anyone. No one asked. :(

Whoa...
oh. my. goodness.
Last night, I totally reunited with this guy named Colin that I used to know. He and I were in elementary school together and I was totally going to marry him. Like, that was my mission in life - marry Colin. He was like a brainiac, cute, smart, funny and I just happened to like him. And I found him again on FB. And he's still a brainiac and smart and funny.
And he was in CAP. (OH MY GAWSH)
And he was applying to USAFA (bad experiences in CAP caused him to stop)
And he's studying Engineering (sexy degree program, lol)
And he's going to Harvey Mudd (where I almost applied - but I decided I didn't like the school colors, hahaha)
And - get this - he tried to find me like two years ago. And his best friend told him to stop, leave me alone, and let me get on with my life.
I've been trying to find him for years on FB!! Like, YEARS. Finally found him.
Was up until like 3am talking to him...
Good times

Death
So, this is kinda a seriousish post but lately I've had a lot of people wondering why I'm joining the military and aren't I afraid to go to Iraq and all this other crazy stuff. So, I'd kinda like to settle it all.
1) I am joining the military cause I want to. There are so many benefits to having a job when I get out of school, guaranteed pay, and having medical/dental insurance as well. It's a great deal - I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.
2) Also, as a first-generation American, I sort of want to give something back to this lovely country - thus USAF.
3) I am not afraid to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran or anywhere overseas. I always wanted to travel the world and if God so destines me to start said travels at an Air Force base in Baghdad, so be it.
4) I am not afraid of dying while serving overseas. If that is my fate and that is how I would best serve the military, then I'll do it.
4.1) I am kinda afraid of it hurting - like if I were shot in a non-fatal spot and died from infection or something, lol. I could care less about the dying bit but I'd prefer if it didn't hurt a whole ton, k, thanks.
5) I would not be terribly upset if I were stationed to a 10-year tour in Nebraska. I'm sure I could find some way to amuse myself.
6) It. Will. Be. Awesome.
Thanks everyone.

Star Trek
Yay! I'm going to see "Star Trek" today!! I'm going to drive to Lancaster and get Jason and we're going to go see it. Then, I'll spend the night at his parent's house before driving back to DE to take Adrian to the dentist on Friday. :) I'm soooo excited!! Yay! It'll be awwwwweeeeesome. :D
And so yeah, Friday, Allison and Ian are going to shadow a student all day at New Castle Christian School so I'll have the house to myself. Adrian will be at Dickinson, Mother will have started work, Allison and Ian will be at NCCS.
Speaking of mother and work, my mom is going back into the work force! She was hired by Boeing after being out of the work force for over 15 years!! She's going into Systems Engineering or something like that. I'm excited for her - I think it'll be good for her to get out of the house and the "homeschooling mom" shell. Go back to work - regain a life so to speak, lol. :) It'll be good for my dear mother. Especially as she is rapidly becoming an "empty-nester"...

Hi
So, Saturday Lauren came over and slept over for Sunday because we had Point-to-Point on Sunday (rain or shine, lol). Well, at 11am, just when we were almost leaving, we got a call that the parade was cancelled due to rain. How lame is that?! So we decided to go to the Plane Pull instead. But it was cancelled cause of rain too!!
So, Lauren and I went and got Caroline at the airport, went to Wal-Mart and bought tie-dye kits and t-shirts. :) And we tie-dyed at my kitchen table, hahaha!! Kinda stained the shower when I decided to hang the shirts to dry in the shower, lol...
Then we went out and saw "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" at the movie theatre. It was really cute and we laughed hysterically throughout it. I actually felt kinda bad for all the couples trying to have a nice snog in the back, lol - I'm sure our laughter was ruining all the romantic moments. For example: the final scene in the movie is this scene on swings where the girl is sitting there and the guy tickles her and they swing together (on dif. swings lol). But because of my recent incident involving the male gender and swings, we just laughed! And we kept waiting for her swing to break so she could "fall for him" like I had done, etc, etc... It was pretty funny, lol.
After the movie, we got Rita's Water Ice. (yum) and went to David's Bridal. And we invented a whole story to tell the attendants in the bridal shop. I was engaged to Jason, my ring is getting sized (which is why I don't have it) and we're thinking of a November wedding. :) Hahaha - it was awesome - and David's Bridal...was closed. :( So we wandered around every other closed shop and finally just went to the National Guard base to get Jason.
And we toured around the firehouse with Jeremiah while Jason got his stuff and we sat in the trucks and pretended to be firefighters. :) And then we finally left, lol. Dropped Caroline back off at the airport and I took Lauren and Jason to Acme - where we bought half-and-half - and then to home where we had dinner. Which involved an interrogation from my siblings - poor Jason, haha! It was kinda crazy...
Then mine papa and mother drove Lauren and Jason back and I came along for the ride. ;) lol Nice hour long drive back with lots of chances to laugh and have fun. And then I had to go into their house when they got there to try and get my hoodie back but we couldn't find it so after like 30-45 minutes at their house, Dadsy finally decided it was time to leave and we left.
What a great day though. Like, the whole P-2-P thing being cancelled sucked but the rest of the day was fantastic. It was like a G.N.O. but it was daytime haha...
Yeah...awesomeness...

Fridays
What I'd really like is someone to take up my Friday nights. Someone to take me out so I'm busy and won't end up babysitting every Friday.
If anyone wants to/knows anyone who would be willing to help me out, let me know or hook me up.
Thanks.

Survival of the Fittest
I guess I'm fit - cause I survived.
I got a total of 14 hours of sleep between Thursday night and Monday morning. Hahaha...I then got 8 hours on Monday night, not many again on Thursday...and 14 last night...hahaha... I never thought I'd sleep that long. 14 hours of sleep...sigh... :)
Crazy. Insane. Weekend.
Flight from Richmond to Denver cancelled. Sat in the airport for 8 hours - 2 of which were spent in line trying to get a new flight. Told them I was going to USAFA and found myself on a flight with a different airline through Georgia. Should've been landing in Denver around 4pm. Left Richmond at 4pm. Landed in Denver at 11:30pm - Denver time. Sigh. INSANE.
But I survived.
I had fun.
I'm glad I did it.
Miss Region Conference - that was fantasmorgal.
Life can be complicated.
Things are happening.
I want a rest.
I want to hang out.
I want to party.
Any takers?

Hitch
I need me behind the door telling me what to do.
Seriously.
Ahem.
I have work in the morning. I still have a sprained ankle. That'll be interesting... :)
Didn't really get much of a chance to talk to Jason today - and I'm cool with it. Like, we don't have to talk every day, haha...
I do need to talk to Lauren though. But she like doesn't log on to FB chat cause people jump on her when she does, haha..... I need to call her or something...hmm...
Very good sermon in church today. All about how we want God's will but we don't ask for it, and then when we ask we doubt it's actually His will. And then we don't do it. And we wonder why things don't work out. Like God's like "here you go - take it or leave it" and we're like "can I see what's behind door 2? what about door 3?" and God's like "no doors - here take it." and we're like "but I want a door. I want door 3. I don't want what You chose for me. I want door 3 so I can mess up and blame it on not knowing Your will." And God lets us do that - cause it's free will. Stupid humanity.

Freak
Out
I totally did. Which is not normal for me. Anyway, I found out Jason was in a car accident and nearly died (jk, I just had this huge knot in my stomach). And he's fine but has these huge burns.
And after my over-the-top reaction, I thought to myself, "Karen, why do you care *that* much? You aren't dating or in a relationship..." And I have yet to figure it out.
Mhmm....
My sprained ankle is doing okay.
And Jason wasn't saying I was too good, lol. He clarified that later. And I went to their house (their being his parents) to hang with him and his younger sister who's one of my friends. :) And we (Jason, his sis, me) watched "Marley and Me" which was good.
Anberlin is gooooood.

Complications
So, on Friday, I woke up to a lovely ring tone and an invite to hang out for like two hours before a big drill team party thing. Of course, I accepted. :)
The hanging out went awesome. Right before we left though, the swing I was swinging on broke suddenly (no, I didn't weigh too much for it, haha). Like, the swing snapped off the strap thing. So I dropped into the ground - on my ankle, not my butt. Which made me think I'd broken my ankle. But I could move my toes. So maybe it was a sprain? Nope, I can roll my ankle. Must just be a shock/bad twist. So I went to the party like normal.
And I rode dirtbikes, took a go-kart off a dirt bike jump like seven times and did normal stuff. In retrospect, I probably should've rested more but I didn't.
On Saturday, I acted normal, hobbling a bit. Had my dad wrap it up in an Ace bandage and I iced it a bit.
Sunday I walked on it a lot. Easter egg hunting, church-going...had to walk. Wasn't so smart. My parents banished me to the couch as soon as they could.
Today, Monday, I had a doctor's appointment. Turns out I sprained it. And it's a bad sprain too. But I'm telling everyone it's a slight sprain so they won't worry. Like, I'm not supposed to run for like 4 - 5 weeks!! I leave for USAFA soon - I *have* to run. This week especially I'm not allowed to do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. ARGH.
And I talked to Jason based on Sarah's recommendation. And I was all like "my crazy friend from COS says I should ask you blah blah but I'm not going to and blah blah" and after his "haha, that's funny, lol" he's like "you're too good anyway" What? Did he just like say no in a nice way because I'm a "good girl"? I think that's probably the first time that's ever happened hahahaha!!! But it's kinda funny...like who gets turned down cause they're too good?
Whatever.
Life goes on.

Did he just like say no in a nice way because I'm a "good girl"? I think that's probably the first time that's ever happened hahahaha!!! But it's kinda funny...like who gets turned down cause they're too good?
Whatever.
Life goes on.

Relationships
It cracks me up that people always seem to ask me for advice on relationships considering I've never been in one.
Especially cause the semi-relationship thing I'm in right now is getting messed up by my being silly. Hahaha...I need my own advice...

Life Happens
Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen the way it should.
Stuff happened last night that I don't want to talk about. It had to do with CAP. That's all I'm saying. Don't ask.
I'm repressing, coping and moving on.

Life
So, my dad totally told my grandma that I had found myself a boyfriend so as to not be "outdone" by Susan having a BF. WHAT?! First of all, he's not my boyfriend. Second of all, if I were trying to outdo Susan, I'd find some really, really hot, and really, really stupid, guy just as arm candy. Duh!
He's not my boyfriend.
We just hang out. And talk. And chat. A. Lot. :)
And, of course, we like each other.
But I have a deadline of 80ish days.
Kinda hard to have a relationship in that time. :(
Although a date for prom might be nice. :) haha
Mailing grad party invites.
Send me your address. :)
Life continues. People should talk to me more or I'll die of lack of contact with the human race.

Drill Team Part 2
The competition went really, really well. We came in 2nd overall and won first in Inspection and Standard. We lost Innovative by 7 pts, Written Exam by 6 questions and the Mile by 5 sec/person. :(
Very close.
Very good competition.
Caroline got Fleetfoot Female for a 6:44 mile.
I loved it.
I miss it.
*sigh*

Drill Team
So the competition (regionals) starts tomorrow night at like 8:30pm. And I'm kinda nervous. But I'm really excited too.
The entire drill team is spending tonight at my place too, cause it's closest to our leaving location and will save on what time people have to get up. I hope the people actually sleep though.
Nervous.
Excited.
Wondering.
Deliberating.

Run, Run As Fast As You Can
You Can't Catch Me Cause I'm Karen.
Okay, enough nonsense. Especially as you probably could catch me. My mile time is somewhere in the 7:45-9:15 range right now. It depends on weather, adrenaline and a couple other factors... Like at last drill team, I ran a 9:08. For my CFA, I ran an 8:03. Impressing USAFA? A bit more important than impressing drill team, I guess!
So, I'm running Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday now. Some Saturdays - if I have drill team. I swim Tuesdays so it's sort of a "day off" but I'm still working out. Just less muscle strain. My goal is to get so that I can run a mile straight without having to walk any of it. And then, before USAFA, be running 3-5 miles consistently. Not sure how I'll ever clock that but it's a good goal. Most of the time I run, I'm not really running for speed anyway. I'm just trying to work on my endurance. And swimming is helping that.
So, that guy asked me out. And I said no. There were a couple reasons. But now I feel weird. It's so weird having to say no when guys ask you out. Like, in some ways I just want to say yes so they don't feel rejected but then I'd be using them, wasting our time and his money. So I have to let them face rejection...sigh...
I'm watching "Castle". It's like the most hilarious show on TV right now. It's like legit funny too. :) It's a police drama except the detective gets followed around by a murder mystery author so you get his "non-police" input - and his witty comebacks and sayings. It's really awesome.
Calculus is going. I wouldn't say well. But I wouldn't say poorly either.
Physics is.
"Macbeth" is boring - anyone have any good ideas for how to read it enjoyably?
Sigh.

I blame Caleb
I have become semi-obsessed with MBTI and other personality test indicators. I am now an avid member of Typology Central.
Thanks Caleb.

Hahahahahahaha!!!
Okay, so here's a funny story:
This guy I know, I'll call him....Nick, has been texting me lately. He just broke up with his girlfriend and we know each other well. Anyway, he's started sending me those texts which precede the inevitable "so...wanna go out sometime?" text. And I really didn't want to have to deal with that because I really don't feel like that towards him. He's younger than me, for one thing, and he's just not my style...yeah...whatever.
So, around 9:30pm last night, Nick texts me and is like "hey - so sorry I didn't text you earlier, I was kinda busy..." And I decided to stop this thing right away and so I said, "oh, no prob. I spent the time talking to a guy in Cali" - meaning Slackerhorn. So he's like "just a random guy or you actually know him" and I was like "I make it a regular practice to flirt with random hot guys in Cali" and his response is: "I've been to cali - that count? ;) jking" - but it confirms my thoughts... So I was like "yeah, I know him. CAP" and then he's like bugging me even a bit more - like how I know him, etc. so I said "I spent two weeks with him last summer and will see him again on our one year anniversary" (Two weeks being COS and our being DK - lol :P ) And he's like "you're dating? long distance?" so I said "it's tough but :D" Because I didn't want to lie right out but I did want to annoy him...ish... And so he's all like "wow...and one year, that takes commitment..." lol.
And Slackerhorn was all laughing and cool with it too. I finally told him like two hours later simply because I didn't want to keep having to be mean to him.
But then he's all like, "oh so you're pretending to date? haha" And "we should pretend to date, lol but it'd be weird if we actually dated after fake dating" Oooookkkkkay?!
But Slackerhorn was nice about it and willing to play along. And there were a couple weird questions and all from people. I even changed my status on FB to say "to be or no be single: that is the question". And I got 6 guys (males) telling me all about relationships. LOL!! Like, no joke. I had a guy from USAFA SS, Caleb, a guy from COS and Bryan from bio co-op on FB, texting Nick and chatting with Kevin. It was insane lol...I literally could not keep track of the conversations.
And then weird conversations followed. And yeah.

Legislative Day and Today
So last Wednesday, I went down to the CAP Legislative Day in DC. It was pretty cool. We got to hang out in the hotel, meet some really cute guys from VT and then, the next day, we got to walk around the Hill.
First, we went and saw our representative but he was busy so we saw his staffer, Jim, instead. And Jim was sooo cute. Especially when he smiled, lol. And I'm not obsessing, it's just true...
Next, we went and saw Senator Carper but he was also away so we talked to his staffer. After we finished with the staffer, he said Sen. Carper wanted a picture with us so could we come back later. Unfortunately, our later appointment would run into coming back so we had to decline. :( So, then, he said, "well, let me look something up", called a couple people and came back a little later to say "so, I'm going to take you over to the Capitol building and we're going to use the senators and their staffers private train/subway" !!!! SHOCK !!!! Anyway, so we got on this little train thing and choo-choo-ed over to inside the Capitol. And, we went to the Senate Waiting Room and had our picture taken.
Then, Sen. Carper was like "So, where are you going now?" and I'm like "Off to see Sen. Kaufman's staff, sir." So, he says "are you going to see Ted [the Senator]?" "No, sir, he's busy..." "He's not busy, wait here..." And off Sen. Carper runs to grab Sen. Kaufman and make him come over and talk to us. :D It was so funny and cool.
Then we talked to Sen. Kaufman's staff in Vice-President Biden's meeting room (cause the senator's room wasn't unpacked yet and Biden was like 'here, use my room.' " lol
Then we left. And went swimming. And had dinner at Sbarro's. And packed up. And left. Sigh.
Today, I have a phone interview with the NSA for the Stokes Educational Scholarship Program. I'm not sure if I want to do it or not. It's either that or USAFA and I can't decide. Not sure if I want a desk job or not. Not sure if I want to do intelligence or not. Not sure if anything...
State Science Olympiad competition on Saturday. I'm missing Drill Team for it so I have to run a lot today and tomorrow to make up for it. At least a couple miles...
Will be taking my Spaatz in the second week of June sometime...dum, dum, duuummm...

Life
I'm leaving for CAP Legislative Day in DC today. It'll be rock awesome. Although I just found out my Blues shoes have a huge chunk of sole missing...lol. The side has this huge hole in it, lol. Ah well, nothing I can do about it... :)
Still competing for an NSA scholarship. Although I think I'd still go to USAFA, not UD. I wonder if I could use an NSA scholarship at USAFA? lol
I watched "Spectacular!" the other day. It's a Nickoledeon version of HSM or Camp Rock or something. BUT! It was great. I liked it way more than HSM or CR. WAY More. I might even buy the soundtrack; it was that good.

Today
So, today was Senator Carper's Academy Night. It's this huge event he runs every year to provide students with a chance to get information on different academies and on applying for nominations. One of the reasons he runs it is because he didn't find out about service academies until too late and ended up doing ROTC instead (not that that's a bad thing).
Well, this year, he asked me if I'd be willing to speak at the Academy Night on applying/getting nominations/appointments, etc. Needless to say, I was thrilled and excited beyond belief.
I wrote my speech last night.
I presented my speech today.
IT.
WAS.
INCREDIBLE.
I have no words to describe it. I loved giving my speech - I had a ton of fun! And, Senator Carper was incredibly nice and very friendly (per his norm).
Then, I answered people's questions about applying and on nominations. It was very, very cool. I shall never forget it.
There was this really nice guy too. And my older sister. And my whole family.
And Senator Carper recognized them all and asked them to stand up during the speech. And he had us take a photo with him. And there were reporters/photographers there.
I had so much fun.
Sigh

I'm addicted to ProjectPlaylist. :D I have my lovely little playlists and I listen to them aaaallll the time. Currently, my favorite songs are: "Killer Queen" by Queen, "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles and "Cruel to Be Kind" by Letters to Cleo (from "10 Things I Hate About You").
I did almost nothing yesterday - except watch "10 Things I Hate About You" which I bought off iTunes cause it was only $4.99 instead of $9.99 or something ridiculous. :)
Anyway, life continues for me. Drill Team is getting uber busy but fun! And I'm hanging out.

That's all. I just wanted to let my excitement go.... :D :D :D :D :D

Decisions
I finally made up my mind. The final straw was when I realized that I was only applying/considering the US Naval Academy because I felt like it was the right thing to do and what everyone wanted me to do. I was going to put up with 9+ years in the Navy for the sake of my family and friends. But I thought about it and realized that anytime USNA got hard, I'd always be like "why am I not at USAFA?" And so...I decided.
USAFA.
That's where I'm going to college.
USAFA.
That's where I'm going to college.

Decisions
So, I have about fifty billion and one decisions to make and they all need an answer yesterday. BLAH.
So, my dilemma has been narrowed down and I've kinda got an idea as to what I want to do but it's not decided yet. My cnoices:
- United States Naval Academy. Graduate and become a Surface Warfare Officer before filing paperwork to go into Intel (or go Marines and join Intel upon grad.)
- United States Air Force Academy: Go into Intel immediately upon graduation.
The Pros and Cons kinda balance each other out. I'm leaning towards the Naval Academy simply because it is closer to home, at this point. However, USAFA still holds a dear place in my heart becaus I attended SS there and I know a ton of people who are going there... It's hard too because I kinda feel like a traitor being in Civil Air Patrol. Like all gung-ho Air Force then "oh yeah, I'm joining the Navy" - it feels weird.
So that's my big dilemma at the moment.
On another note, Sen. Carper called my house the other day and told me that he thought I should go to Annapolis and he thought he'd call because he heard I was leaning USAFA...lol. And he also wanted to ask me to speak at his Academy Night on the 17th of February. It's a big night he has in Dover where he invites ALOs from all over the state and recruiting officers from each of the service academies and branches of the military. Even ROTC, NatGuard and CAP are there. :D
I have a ton of calculus and physics to do. I can't really decide how many lessons to do per day. I think it's like 2 a day in Physics and at least 2 a day for Calc but preferably 3...plus chapter tests... And I still have to read "Macbeth" for British Literature and do Vocab. woot. woot. :P
Toodles everyone

Lyrics
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
I don't want to kiss or hold your hand
if it's funny try and understand
there is really nothing else I'd rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just want to dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
It's everything I need

I have decided boys are too complicated.
I have also decided that my decision to not date until college was a good decision.
I have finally decided that based on my second decision, I should be very annoying to guys while in high school so they won't ask me out.
And last of all, I have decided that I should avoid guys with girlfriends because even though it seems like we can be friends because they are already attached to someone, we can't. Because we can't. And because it always gets messed up.

I got my complete order from Barnes and Noble today. I have this truly lovely volume of Jane Austen's complete and unabridged works as well as a 100th anniversary edition of Baroness Orczy's "The Scarlet Pimpernel" which is almost my favorite story.
I love reading. It's a true passion of mine. There's so much you can imagine and dream in books. I even make up my own endings and side stories with minor characters (in my head of course).
I <3 books.

Life
So, life continues for me. I am almost finished with a few of my classes already. That'd mean only physics, calculus, and literature left until the end of May. Easy peasy pumpkin easy.
Work was okay. Kinda dull.
I've been really tired lately - probably need more sleep. I get too caught up in my books and then I forget to go to bed until almost 1 or 2 am, lol. Kinda silly but it's a good book! It's A Perfect Spy by John Lé Carre. He's a fantastic author when it comes to spy thrillers.
It seems that life just continues on and on... To quote Mansfield Park, "Life seems nothing more than a quick succession of busy nothings.
