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*
