Cherish these days

Enjoy every breath like it may be the last you your life.
And never look back, no never look back
Cause you wont regret why you cry.

I'm at home again this weekend, and I don't have to work or anything. It's a nice change, not having to worry about who I won't get to see because I'm working. I was so excited to come home this weekend, but I miss my LVC friends so much. It's hard to believe that you can become so close to people in such a short amount of time. They really are like my second family. And I miss my second home. I miss the smell of pop corn in Funk West third floor at all random hours. And people constantly talking. And bad food.

I'm worried about Christmas break already. I mean, a whole month without these people that I've become used to being around all the time. What will I do? It will be great to spend time with my high school friends, but let's be honest. The only two I really talk to a lot a lot anymore is Megan and Katelyn. And I know we'll always be there for eachother. But it's not the same. They don't understand the need to go to Mj's on a Monday night, or the fun of a random T. Hill run, or why going to Walmart on a Tuesday night is the best thing ever.

Day Two (Technically 3 I guess) of College

So I'm finally here. And I guess it's a good feeling to be out on my own. It was a bit stressful with all the oritentation bullshit but other than that I'm having a great time. I'm glad that Aaron is here, it's good to have a familiar face to see around. And make noodles in my room at 1:45 in the morning.

I'm tired. But I'm not hungry. The food is pretty good here. And I've got a meeting tomorrow at 10:20.

Therefore I'm leaving. More to come once classes start.

Nine Days To Go

This past week has been horrible on so many levels, I can't wait until it's over.
I'm tired of this rollercoaster ride. I don't want to deal with it anymore. Honestly, what do you want me to do? I have a feeling that I'm overannalyzing the situation and probably making it worse than it is but it's not like you're helping the situation much with some of the things that you say.
I'm ready to wave the white flag. I'm almost done, I really am.

I don't trust people easily. It's hard for me. It takes time. And now I just dont know.

But, the weather the past two days was amazing and I got some good picture time in.

That's about the highight of me week. Which, by the way is really sad.

I want to talk to you...

The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears.



Yeah, I want to be like Grace Kelly.

I regret to inform

that this summer has been somewhat uneventful.

Not at all what I pictured it to be but....

Meggers and I are getting friendship tattoos. Hopefully, if my parental units will allow it.

Did I

take a step too far?

I think I did.

Wow

Today I got a letter in the mail, and it let me know that I actually do make a difference to people. Actually, it made me cry. Happy tears.

It says:

Brittany -

Sometimes you meet someone and you just like them instantly - you are one of those people for me. I saw you twice last weekend and both times you took a moment to chat - even if I am just "Luke's Mom." Often it is the little things that stand out in our memories. Your parents must be so proud of you as you venture off to college. I had forgotten you were a senior this year. Not many day days left for high school - which is both a scary and exciting. Many experiences in life are like that but you are up for the challenge. Each struggle is just another opportunity to grow.

Here's just a little cash to help out with some of the cash flow struggles that college creates...lol...Stay sweet, kind, down to earth, and focused on positive things and the rest will fall into place. Keep us posted and best of luck as you begin your college journey.

And so I proceeded to cry. Because it just lets me know that I do make a difference.

2 more days. That's it.
