Not a year goes by---

Why hello Xanga... how are you? did you miss me? i suppose you didn't and neither did anyone else because no one writes or reads you anymore. Very sad, primarily for you.

Well let's get caught up from last year actually right about this time. For one i'm a year older. Different maybe, but not because of the number of years i've lived my life.  Sterling was indeed a great place. A good place to start what I missed out in high school. unfortunately at that time it was impossible to accomplish a fourth of what i intended to do, so i was sick, every weekend.  Everyweek worse until there were hospital visits and my parents were at Sterling as much as I was.  Met some very awesome people in that little college town that I would have loved to get to know better. Alas it wasn't in the cards so I came home and was pretty ill for a good six months and finally have been getting better.  Gained a lot of weight since I left Sterling. Some of it due to strange symptoms and drug side effects and some just due to me doing virtually nothing since I left. Some people might think that would be awesome but for me it just simply isn't the case.  I've taken some online classes through Cowley but not as many as I would like.  I feel like I missed out on so much in High School, in fact I know I did so it sucks that i'm doing the same for college. I'm taking 12 hours online this semester so we'll see how that goes. And if all goes well then I'll have my associates from Cowley and then hopefully I'll feel good enough to go back to Sterling or any college really.

I'm dating Ashley Carpenter now.  Well now as in about 5 months. It's going great and I really enjoy her.  I started playing WoW about February and it's a fun game and keeps me playing when I got Josh and KHaught to play. Everyone I actually still see is happy that I'm doing better, and in fact for the most part I am. At least it's at a managable level. It's still a long way from getting my life on track.

Well that's it for now Xanga. See ya in a year or sooner.

Ah it's been a while since I've visited you Xanga site. Mainly because NO ONE else gets on here to check theirs so I don't read or write in mine ever. But I'd thought I'd give you a little update on my whole life and the excitment that entails.

Well Sterling is an awesome place to be and I really like it but most the time I'm not feeling very well so I haven't been able to really meet as many people or hang out as much as I'd like to. We're trying some different things and deciding that I probably won't be in the Honor's program next year just to save running in the same trouble that we are right now. I'm actually at home right now trying to get better before I head back to school. When I get back I'm probably going to drop one class to make sure I stay caught up and on the top of things. All the people at Sterling are pretty awesome in general and both my room mates are pretty cool guys. They are pretty opposite and I somewhat balance them out but it all works with us together. Well that's about all I have for now and hopefully I'll catch some of you guys a little later!

The Summer coming and going so fast---

So it's been a couple months since an update so I thought I'd give you all a treat. Yes! Well I haven't been online much lately but I don't know if you guys noticed but... My family totally rules. I mean I'm sure your guys' families are pretty cool too but c'mon. If you don't know check out the comment my sister left for me on my last post. I mean wow. What more could you want? Nothing. Thanks Molly. You make my world. If ever you wondered how I got through my illness. Don't look at me, I had so little to do with it look at my Mom, Dad, and sister. I speak so literally when I say that I wouldn't be here without them. They held me up when I had no power to walk. Not enough can be said about them... I love you all.

In other, not nearly as amazing news, I've been working. Yep at the GMP and it's great. But I'm still getting sick everyone in a while and mom is starting to get worried about college. Can't say I blame her too much. It's going to be an adventure to say the least. the past week kinda decided on football. It's a no go. For everyone that didn't know I had a moderate reaction to some meds about a week ago. We luckily decided against the hospital because it wasn't life threatening but I sure was messed up for a week. No bueno. So the summer has been what I thought it would be. There's just not enough time in the day... I feel so bad because there's just no energy for me to pool from to see anyone now. I'm so sorry guys. I'm really trying, have faith. But other than all that life has been great. I miss all the people that I just can't seem to get together with. Everyone's so busy during the summer, including me. I pray it gets better.

Hope to see you soon.

Some thoughtprovoking news...

In the next ten school days I will be done with school. People whom I have seen often throughout my entire life that I'm able to talk to everyday I will have no more contact with what so ever. I Realize that this happens every year, to everyone but that still doesn't change the fact that it is happening. Again. Because I don't know how to express to people how they've changed my life. Created and molded me into the person I've become. They've all changed my life either for the good or the bad, and I wouldn't of had it any other way. And sadly at time all i can seem to find around me are people breaking bond and friendships over the thought that if you're mad at someone the hurt won't be there when you part. The truth is that won't happen. You'll be sorry that you didn't tell them that every word,hug, or prayer got you to the place that you stand today. And are better for it.

Or maybe it's the fact that people are scared that they will cling too much on this, or maybe not at all. So why care about these people if they are just going to leave? Because they were a part of your life. Maybe since kindergarden or maybe even just for a semester we've grown together and gotten through the tough times. So when that person that you just can't seem to stand walks by you tomorrow give them a smile, a nod or even a hug. Because in two weeks all that we've done to create bonds in friendship and love will start to dminish. The second Graduation ends we all start to grow apart. So live today like tomorrow might be the day when your world is turned upside down. I'll miss you all. In some way I'll miss you all.

The Choice Finally Made...

Well my college choice has been finally decided.

I've decided to attend Sterling College. This college won out for many reasons. It's small, a couple professors that are the Heads of the Departments there already know my name. Which I wouldn't get until my Junior or Senior year at any other college. It's a dry campus which is nice. I'll be able to hang out with a lot of people who know that you have so much fun without drinking involved.

I'm going to be enrolling into the Honors Program there, and Possibly double majoring in Psychology and Computer Science. But that is still extremely tentative. I'll also be signing there to play college Football there. Whether I'm actually able to play or not is to be seen. I might be eligible for some more scholarship money even if I'm not able to play (ie manager). I'm stoked just to have the decision out of the way. I know that I'd do fine at Emporia or K-State. But you know what? I want to do so much better than fine, I want to do great. I'm ready to be away and the challenges it presents. To handle my health on my own and take the reins on my education. And have tons of fun in the process, plus make some good friends.

So if you're ever in my neighborhood drop me a line so I can see you guys! Hope everyone is doing well. ttyl
