Yes, yes, I did another one.

Gorgeous.

In a nutshell...marry me?

He became hotter when I found out he was English.

I'll take calligraphy, and then I'll make a fake degree.

So, college. Sometimes it gets in the way of life, even though it is essentially my life right now. Make sense? Anyway, I go here:

Lewis Memorial Hall



Cloister Walk




Mazzachelli Hall/The Quad



Lewis Hall again

back of Lewis, Power Hall

And I live here:

which has acquired more personal touches as the weeks have gone on.

I am now a part of the DU dance team and SLAM (Student Leadership and Ministry).  I forgot to apply for an RSA (Resident Student Association) Hall Rep position in time and for a senator position in SGA (Student Government Association).  Whatever, I have no time as it is.  Oh, and I have an on-campus job as a Phonathon caller.  So to all you alumni, I'm really sorry for the calls you'll be receiving when we ask you to shell out your money to us.

This place doesn't suck as bad as I thought it would/did. I made friends with the soccer team, the basketball team, the golf team, and the girls' volleyball team.  I found out where the parties occur, where the cheap food is, where the train stations are, and what's in downtown Oak Park.  Plus, the houses in this neighborhood are gorgeous. 

So, people of blog world (even though you really don't exist for me), I will start posting again; sorry for having a life. It was unintentional.

New (School) Year's Resolutions

My mantra rings true.  This year will be better.  I will keep my priorities straight; I will look out for myself; I will keep my eyes on God.

(Yes, I am a Christian, for those of you whom I might offend.  Yes, I was raised Christian, but, no, I am not brainwashed.  I make my own choices, and I could have walked away if I wanted to.  However, my faith gives me hope and strength that people cannot.  People let me down.  Christ will never leave me, never let me fall.  My plan is to seek him in everything.  I won't walk away, and those of you who belittle me for it:  Let's just agree to disagree.)

I live my life to make others happy, and that's great.  That's wonderful.  Selflessness is a good quality to have.  But I reached a point where I no longer tried to make myself happy.  Helping certain people in certain situations would hurt me in the process.  No more.  If I don't feel right about it, I'm not doing it.

I have to learn to be more patient, more open, more caring.  One day, I hope I will be that person that seems radiant, literally, because they are trying to be the best they can be.  I want that joy.

This year will be better. It has to be.
