i don't know what compelled me to come on xanga but i'm here...a lot has changed in these past couple months...i've had a lot of ups and downs and its been rough at times but my friends are so amazing...i have no idea where i would be without them.  i've been doing alot of thinking recently because of everything that has happened and i do understand that i have changed a little but hey who can say change isnt good...we can't stay the same forever though i wish we could but time stops for no one so we might as well go with the current...jess and i went to the mall last night and went shopping like crazy and i even got a couple things for ohio already haha...i can't believe i'll be 17 in 6 days...its almost scary how time seems to go by so quickly...this is probably really boring but i dont really care...no one has to read this...i m doing this for myself...and crew is getting frustrating now...i got an e-mail this week saying the coach wants $1,300 from each of us just to be our coach...what the heck! i think i'm going to try and get switched over to the vesper club...

some quotes from confucius:

"and remember, no matter where you go, there you are"

"If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?"

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

yesterday was a pretty fun day but really exhausting...

first i woke up at 6 when my alarm doesnt go off until 8 and i couldnt sleep so i decided to clean everything, then i went to crew and i actually got to go out on a 4 person and row...it was my first time actually on a boat in the river but i think by the end i started to get it down. 

then at night was tony's party....it was alotta fun

bad start for the day:

1- i randomly decided to check to make sure my $250  was still on the stairs in my envelope from the bank...just my luck it is completely mia and no where to be found...my mom might have threw it out

2- we just pulled out of the driveway and put it in drive....no lie less than 5 ft after driving a girl wasnt paying attention...speeding and somewhat sideswept us....her mirror got ripped off...my mom hops outta the car and the girl keeps driving and my mom was chasing her....she picked up her mirror and then she stopped....we're lucky my dad owns an auto restoration business because the damages are about $1,000 worth.

awesome day...

okay....i think i might sign up for the thing outside the religion center where u have to be silent for the day....my lil sis is going to do it so i guess i should give it a shot except for the fact that i always talk...and i bet someone at lunch ::cough cough ELISE cough cough:: would probably torture me...hmm...on the plus side i guess i wouldnt have to answer questions in certain classes...i guess i'll just have to sleep on it...

oh yes...and happy belated birthday to tony!
