| so, two months later, is it time for an update?
well, let's see--what exactly has been going on in my life since my last post??
JosB's 18th birthday party--which was una fiesta maravillosa!! [[and i'm still wondering what exactly was in that last present. . .]]
I decided that I'm not going to Steubenville again this year. . .
I got a myspace, which isnt as fan-tab-ulous as I thought it would be, although i like the photo space a ton. . .
RTA and Whitver continue, and i ended up not having a spring break because of crazy schedule stuff plus other work. . .
third quarter report cards were fine, if a little bit boring. . .
i know where i'm going to school in the fall: Belmont Abbey College, outside Charlotte, North Carolina. . .
I received the Presidential Scholarship to Belmont Abbey. . .
someone asked me if i'm going to become a nun because i'm going to Belmont Abbey. . .
I fell in love with the poetry of T.S.Eliot. . .
Trese took some more amazing senior pictures of me, at the Greenway and at my great-uncle's farm in West Tennessee. . .
Michael finally decided to dissolve his leash. . .
RTA Swing Dance was pretty sweet--i love dancing!!
We're practicing insanely for the Classical Choir Concert in two weeks, learning three new pieces, including one that the Mid-State choir does. . .
Went to the gradjeeationing meeting, and found out that i have to have a black dress. . .
Ordered my dress online from Nordstrom, and it should be here any day now. . .
Went out for lunch at RTA, when I printed my yearbook pics and had Chick-Fil-A. . .
Pegged Sean in the face with an eraser in 2nd period study hall--beautiful moment. . .
Ordered my new *green* contacts, which are amazing. . .
Drove to North Carolina this past weekend for Accepted Student Day, which was pretty cool, all things considered. . .
Went to the zoo this afternoon with Leash, Rico, Cam, Steven, Trese, the three munchkins, Conor, Lloyd and the madres. . .
Saw some. . .interesting. . .meerkats at the zoo this afternoon
Tonight, i found out that my new emo/librarian/college student frames have issues. . Ordered new emo/librarian/college student frames tonight. . .
Things are going to be even more busy during April and May. I have the Choir Concert, Trese's 16th birthday, Holy Week, Easter Vigil Mass, Whitver Senior Toast, RTA's Senior Blessing, Teen Banquet, finals, and ultimately, GRADUATION.
My life is so crazy amazing, awful beautiful. }:{
"And what there is to conquer
By strength and submission, has already been discovered
Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope
To emulate—but there is no competition—
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business."
~~ from "Four Quartets"
by T.S. Eliot |
