Hope for Heartbreak

Convenience is not love, convenience is a hookup. A relationship should not be formed simply out of convenience because then it has no meaning.

Love is never easy but that is the beauty of it. Would love really be such a blessing if everyone could have love at the drop of a hat? Definitely not.

Love is struggle. Love is giving up a part of yourself to allow someone else to be themselves. Love is making sacrifices, getting messy, making decisions with your heart, not your head.

Love cannot be expected.

Love is rewarding. Love is reciprocal. Love is emotion, on top of emotion, on top of emotion. Love is selfless. Love is letting yourself wholly trust another human being and still accepting them for all their faults and weaknesses and helping them through those.

Breakups hurt, but if it's unbearable then you had something called true love. And a love like that is worth every ounce of heartbreak.

So love everyone with all your heart because you deserve nothing less in return.

Crazy Ever After (Acoustic Version)

Yep. Great Song.

Anyway. So yesterday. Yesterday I only had one class (Physics) cuz my lab was canceled. So I had my whole day to myself. and I actually got a ton of homework done.

I also finally made David's CD so I am sending that in the mail sometime today. And then 9pm had small groups and yea just had a really great night.

So I was sitting under this pretty tree on campus writing this blog until a nice big spider decided to climb on me so I had to relocate. And now I am sitting on safe, man-made, cement. Today I have almost all of my classes which kinda sucks. But it actually hasn't been that bad. It's a gorgeous day outside today. 79 and cloudy so it's not too hot especialkly with the nice breeze blowing through. Just perfect. I love perfect days.

The only thing that is not perfect about today is these little bugs that are swarming everywhere on the quad and getting all over everyone. You literally have to pick them off of you when you walk inside and they are tiny. so gross.

Well I have class in about 10 minutes so I should go. Until later!

Another Wonderful Day!

There are so many good things about today I don't know where to begin.

Well to start it off, I didn't have class till 2pm today. Quite unusual for a Monday but I am not complaining. Then I just had nice easy classes and the real fun started after I was done with class.

Today, I got to go to dinner with Heather and her roommate Gabby. Heather is awesome. We had a great talk and dinner ended up lasting about an hour and twenty minutes. I am very excited that I get to keep getting to know her. She reminds me a lot of Sam Duda. Love you, Sami!

After that I went back to the room and I saw I had a package in the mail. It was my Compassion Information Packet. I am now sponsoring a little girl named Zahara. She lives in Tanzania and is currently 5 years old. She is so precious and I am excited to make a difference in her life. With the money I send to her through Compassion, she will be able to have food and fresh water daily and go to school. Yay!

I also called Papa back because I had missed his call because I accidentally left my phone in the room. We got to have a very nice conversation and he is doing well since his surgery. He still is not feeling too well but I'm sure he'll be back on his feet in no time.

Finally, the jazz group we started here had it's first practice!!!!!! GAH! It was sooo exciting. We are learning Alice in Wonderland. Once we have a couple more practices, it is going to sound great. I am very excited for this group and cannot wait to get into more complicated things and really start rockin' some awesome music. The members are me, Katie, Eric, Jeana, Taylor and Matt. We started practice at about 8:30 and Katie and I stayed until 11 praticing and trying to teach me how to belt. It was awesome.

Well, I am going to sleep now. Laters!

P.S. Last night Megan and I went on a walk and we sat on the bowl fountain (you just have to see it) and she almost fell in trying to get off... funniest thing ever.

This one's for you...

Well since Robby told me my blog was getting weak, I decided to dedicate this entry to him. So here you are Robby, an ec-pic awesome and huge blog post for no reason!

Well for starters last night really was awesome. I ran errands for the first time since being here and got some stuffs that I needed. And then I got a coffee table for my room which will look awesome when I get my carpet and my futon in here. CHYEAH! Then we came back and were supposed to go to this open mic thing but we didn't go and instead played Mario Party 4 which has the worst mini games ever. They just stink. I won even with the broken controller and ended the game with 5 stars. Yea...totally rocked that. The we decided to watch Moulin Rouge which was an amazing movie by the way. I got back to the room and put my itunes on shuffle and what comes on? My most favorite song in the entire world In the Wee Small Hours sung by Kurt Elling who is wonderful. And then John Paul sent me some new music :)

Then I went to sleep.

Got up this morning and went to church and then went out to lunch with everybody which was a lot of fun and came back here and painted my nails and organized my room. It was shweet. and Now I am attempting to do some homework and start my analysis paper. It's actually going to be an interesting paper since we got to chose our own topics. My topic is whether or not we can actually prove that Noah's Ark existed and was used. I'm expecting it to be a pretty crazy topic with a ton of research but I'm excited. Ooo almost forgot. The church is have a recital tonight that I am going to so that should be fun. And then I'm going to come back, finish homework, read my book and crash early which will be so nice. I don't think Meredith will be home till tomorrow during the day but whatever.

There.
Happy?
Good.

Sometimes

Sometimes you think you have it all figured out and then life throws you a curve ball and you don't know whether to try for the home run or just strike out.

P.S. Just saw Moulin Rouge for the first time, incredible.

:)

I'm sorry! we can't date because we live on different floors..... BAHAHAHAHA! i love Katie Wolf.

Well how are stars made? They shoot apples in the sky and light them on fire.

R & R

I was going to spend the past 2 and a half hours sleeping but instead I turned off the lights, turned on the light above my bed and read "A Short History of Nearly Everything" while listening to all the classical music on my itunes. It was absolutely amazing and very relaxing.

Well, this weekend is definitely a "me" weekend. Meredith left yesterday randomly. She walked in a was like I am leaving this weekend to go home and I was like oh that will be fun and then she was like bye! and she left sooo yea. It's nice to not have to be quiet as a mouse when I walk in at late hours of the night.

Now Katie and I are listening to Jason Robert Brown which is SO good. I love that the recordings of his songs are so.....rough. It just raw voices instead of synthesizers. It's so beautiful.

Well, we are going to see Nine, the Tim Burton movie, tonight with some people on our floor and then after Will and Grace marathon. Stoked!
