Sometimes, You Just Have to Move On

So, the last time that I actually posted an entry was May, but no one can see that entry because I made it private because there are some things that I just don't want to share with the world, and I just needed to write down my thoughts to get them straight.  Anyway, life it what you would call...crazy.  Becky and Brian will be moving to NC at the end of August because Brian got a job down there, and Josh and Kristie are leaving Tuesday to drive cross country to also move to NC. 

I honestly don't know how to describe my life except to say, "stuck."  In October, Melissa will be moving to California, and then, I will have no one left at home to hang out with anymore.  It's hard to make friends in a county that seems to be lacking people in their 20s.  I wouldn't even know where to begin to find people my age to hang out with around here.  Also, the job search is failing.  I interviewed for a Webmaster position with Lynchburg City Schools, but the questions that they asked were not things that a Graphic Designer learns, but what a Computer Sci. major learns.  Need-less-to-say, I didn't get the job.  Oh, the museum is also hosting a Gala in November which I am excited about, but I somehow feel that it is going to be much easier to find a dress than someone to go with because of the above statement about no one being in their 20s around here.  Maybe I should have said that my life is "frustrating" right now instead of "crazy" but I do feel "stuck."  It also doesn't help that I have old women at work dogging on me because I don't have a boyfriend or a full-time job.  I mean, is it really any of their business?  Grrrrr!  I really really really just want to get a way for a weekend or something and when I say that, I don't mean a weekend in Lynchburg or Danville or Roanoke, I mean a weekend away from stress and worries and drama and EVERYTHING!  I just want to break to recharge my batteries and clear my head.  If only life were that simple.  *sigh*

Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer, but I am just a little frustrated at the moment.  I know that I just need to hang in there and everything will work itself out, but sometimes, I feel like going into hiding for a couple of days and not let anyone know where I am.  I know that I am not alone and that we all have these moments.  I just can't wait for all of this to pass.

Anyway, I'm going to get ready for bed now, and hopefully, I will have a better outlook tomorrow on things...hopefully.

"The Older I Get, The More That I Know..."

Well, it has be quite some time since I have actually written an entry....almost a year!  I have never really been good at keeping journals or blogs.  Anyway, much has happen since I have last written.

In June, my brother Josh, got married, in December my older sister, Rachel, got married, I graduated from Liberty in Dec, and my oldest sister, Becky, is due with a girl in March.  Right now, I am interning/working part time at my local museum.  I like it so far.  Everyone is really nice and the old ladies are hilarious!  I'm the youngest one there by 22yrs, but who's counting?  I really wish that I could work there full time after my internship is over, but my boss doesn't even work full time really.  It kinda sucks because I really don't want to leave, but I do want to get out of my parents' house and be on my own.  I'm too use to being able to go and do whatever without questions.  Man, college spoiled me.  I guess that I found that I could survive on my own.  Anyway, if I want to stay at the museum, I'm going to have to find another job......and I won't have any insurance because after the end of the year, I won't be on my parents' anymore.  So, in short, I need to find a full time job so that I can have insurance, money to pay off students loans, and money to move into an apartment.  Also, I've been really really lonely post Liberty.

I really don't have anyone to hang out with and talk to.  Melissa is either working or with her boyfriend.  It's kinda frustrating at times.  I've already been told that I need to find a boyfriend so that I have something to do.  Thanks, Dad. *rolls eyes*  Anyway, I am going to Lynchburg this weekend!!!  It will be a nice change, and poor Cindy will have her ears talked off because I've been longing for some good company!  So, in short, part of me feels like I am growing while another part of me feels like I am in a rut.  *sigh*

PS: Maybe next time I write, I will expose some of my inner thoughts of late....

Life or Something Like It

Well, I would say that I can't believe that I haven't written anything since December, but I would be lying.  I really haven't had the time to sit and write....or do much of anything.  But life has been amazing lately. 

I'm going to be double majoring which is pretty cool.  Studio Art and Graphic Design.  Now I just need to find two good internships.  I may have one with the church that I have been attending, but I have to talk to the people here that are in charge of internships to find out how I do one with my church.

Speaking of church, can I just say that I am enjoying Friendship Bible Church.  I think that every service I am challenged.  I know that a lot of people don't like when a sermon hits home, but I'm like "Bring it on!!!"  I want to grow in my spiritual life, and I want to be challenged to take risks and branch out.  It feels amazing to be in a church where I feel like I can be a part of the "family."  I feel like I've found what I've been searching for in a church. 

I have also found the most amazing roommate ever!  I love Courtney.  She is pretty much amazing, and I am so glad that we are roommates this semester. 

I have some amazing friends too.  I don't know where I would be without them.

Anyway, I have a five page paper that I should be working on, but I really don't feel like doing.

So in short, life is amazing right now.

The Endless Battle

So, I haven't even been home for a week, and I am ready to go back to school...kinda. 

I got my LU class ring from Herff Jones in the mail today...only it isn't the right ring.  Oh, and back in November Herff Jones tried to charge me $130.20 extra for my ring.

Melissa and I got to hang out last night.....only at 11pm when she was getting ready to leave, the car that she was driving wouldn't start.  So, her dad had to pick her up, but he didn't get to my house until midnight.

My oldest sister is already trying to take advantage of me by getting free babysitting.  I wasn't even out of Lynchburg on Wednesday when she called my cell phone wanting me to watch Erik Thursday night and Friday.  I love my nephew dearly and really don't mind watching him, but I hate when my oldest sister takes advantage of me.

My parents' computer is being a butt and won't let me write on people's Facebook walls or let me change my status

Oh a brighter note, I got a call yesterday morning from my boss from the farm and apparently he has a turkey for my family for Christmas.  I am picking it up on Thursday.  It is most likely a wild one.....I've never had wild turkey.

Well, it is only a week until Christmas, and I am excited.  Yes, I am a little kid at heart that likes to get up early to open presents and make Christmas cookies and decorate and listen to Christmas songs and watch cheesy Christmas specials and wear tacky Christmas jewelry, socks, and santa hats.  Yes, one day I will be that crazy aunt who lives alone, owns a million dogs (I'm not a fan of cats), and wears seasonal vests/jewelry.

PS:  I got the Josh Groban Christmas CD!!!!!

Long Time, No Write

Yes, I realize that it has been awhile since I actually wrote an entry.  I really can't believe how quickly this semester went by.  It has been a good one though.  Not too stressful.

Tonight is Katie's "Early Christmas Party."  I'm excited!  It'll be nice to have some fun before finals get here. 

Speaking of Katie, earlier in the semester, we compiled a list of things that I need to do before I graduate.....I apparently have a sad life and need to have more experiences.  The list includes:  painting the rock, a picture with Jonathan and Jerry Jr., do an all nighter, road trip out of the state, mudding, hike to the Monogram, and there are several more.  Anyone that would like to help me put check marks on my list is warmly welcomed.   

Anyway, I have a lot that I need to accomplish this weekend.

Adieu,
