I got into the school I applied to at the end of 2008.
And it was plausible for me to pay for it which I was most worried about at the time.
I made a new group of friends through Ian randomly inviting me to parties with him and his friends then asking me to join his kickball team.
I played kick ball in spring it was pretty freaking awesome.
Because of kickball I also started playing a decent amount of beer pong... where Ian's sister nicknamed me the silent sniper or something. I'm not really comfortable with drunks driving me home so I started spending friday nights at Ian's and then he'd drive me home in the morning.
Through this we started to like each other so that's cool because now I'm dating him and he treats me really well. And I've become better at trusting people a little more.
We weren't going to do that officially dating thing which confused me because since my mom's wedding I started hanging with him more than once a week. And his friends were like "ummm Ian...?" but yeah with me going away for school it didn't seem like a good idea. Then right before i left we had talked and it went all official..
Then I went away to school.
My mom and grandma drove me to Colorado it was a long drive... especially the second day.
It's really really beautiful in Colorado!
People there are so nice, and laid back... it took me a while to get used to how slow things can be.. (like at restaurants i feel like i'm waiting FOREVER because in Wisconsin service is a lot faster usually otherwise people get cranky).
I have been enjoying it there and can really see myself living in Colorado for a while. But I do want to travel the world! But since I made it to Colorado finally (wanted to go since I was like 10) I know anything really is possible if you put in the effort.
I have been meeting a lot of cool people at my school, and this coming up semester is a chance to meet even more cool people! I'm so excited for school, I've always loved it but this is so much cooler. I have a heavy schedule this semester but I can do it. I got 4/6 As and passed English with a B-... a C+ in Geology lecture but oh well... I'm proud of my first semester, especially since it's been three years since I've been in school.
Ian visited me in Colorado in October, that was really cool... and fun. My mom worried that I wasn't updating my facebook and I blew up on her a little.. but really it just shows that she doesn't even know me. And she was being ridiculous. She was like "well i didn't know if something happened to you or if Ian convinced you to skip class" Ummm whoa mom!
I was busy with school and homework and Ian!! That's a LOT to juggle in a week, especially since I had essays due!! In fact I had PERFECT ATTENDANCE in ALL my classes-thank you very much for your confidence in me, mom...
Anyway the visit was really fun and my friends at college liked Ian and Ian liked them. My family likes Ian, his family likes me... it's all cool, now.
Flew home for the first time. The most anxious parts were any time I was in an airport! for real. The first night home boy had a party at his house. My break has been going well. Haven't seen some of the faces I wanted to see, but that's okay. Still don't have some things done that I wanted to get done before I left... whoopsies. Been busy.
New Year celebration was fun. We all looked good. Drank a really good white bubbly at the end of the night that tasted like grapefruit but not horrible. It was a really good night then since it was Ian's bday too I spent the day with him. First we picked up some people and they all were crazies and jumped into the Lake burrrrr.... did I mention I know some crazies? then we watched the Hangover and napped at his house. Talked for a while after the movie and stuff just relaxing. Since we fell asleep before midnight on the day his sister turned 21 I joked that he was going to fall asleep and miss dinner at his parents' house. Went to his parents' for dinner and video games. Back to his place for movie and sleep. Speed Racer. Going to have to watch it again.
Let's see, to sum it up. 2009 was the best year of my memory, and I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for me. The good and the bad because no matter what happens it's what makes you who you are. I had a really weak 2008 and a really awesome 2009.
Things I hope to do in 2010:
-No McDonalds (Already don't do Starbucks, Wendy's, and BurgerKing (though out of McDs and BK this year I'd rather do BK)).
-Stay with all 18 Credits for my second semester and get Bs or better in all of them.
-Get a drivers' license.
-Travel to the East Coast.
It's not really much. But I'm better at making short term goals... Like "go to the bank before leaving 'stallis again." haha ;) I need to deposit checks and get quarters for laundry...
Peace Out Kids,
A-skaj
