Summer Recap

I had a very good summer. I traveled, read lots of books, went out, and spent time with family and loved ones. It started out very lazy, got busy with the sun, made some money, and now I'm back at work. It doesn't surprise me that the floors in my new dance room were never changed. It is our first day of officer camp and I am really excited. I set up my "office" for now, knowing that I will have to change it when my co-workers get here. Today is Modern. I love Modern. The music, the emotion.... is just so me.

I spent 10 days in NYC. I got to spend some much needed time with my sister. I worked a sample sale and got some free shoes. I went to a fashion meets finance party and saw my first runway show. I read in central park. I went to the MET. I finally saw the Empire State building. I took dance classes in a 3 day convention where I met Benji. I had a blast every single night! I love New York. Literally. I wish I could live there, I really do, but I'm always so scared to try something new. Although that was not the case with food this time....I tried just about everything I could and enjoyed almost all of it. I drank a lot of wine, which usually isn't the norm for me and I met the most amazing group of people. I had some really great adventures. I wish I could write them all down but that would take forever so I'll just put in keywords that will help me remember.

Batman
Shield
hail a taxi
Doug
illegal video
bug bites
"last night"
Dew
so nice to meet you

HA HA that pretty much sums it up....
I took pics but I won't put those up


Hope everything goes well with the Silver Stars Camp!

Fin-al-ee

My heart hurts from all the stupid t.v. I have been watching. Why are all the season finale's so sad? Gossip Girl totally sucked. I think Dan is the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Blair and Chuck... can you say yuck!... and what was wrong with Vanessa? OK, I will admit it, I didn't like her at first but she grew on you and the show gave no reason for having them break up. The only cute part was little Jenny H. getting accepted into the Waldorf internship. I did however like the quote of letting go of the things that we loved when we were young.... And holding on to it is keeping us from moving forward. I seriously need to take a hint from the t.v. that I watch. House was really really sad...as if I wasn't already feeling depressed from Gossip Girl, I turned on House. He finally remembered the symptom that was so very important. It was so sad the way the story turned out...to know that you pretty much killed the one person that meant more than anything to your one and only best friend. Wow...and not to mention HIMYM, a proposal? Don't even get me started on Sunday's shows. Everything just left me confused and wondering. Doors were opened left and right. I guess that's what make shows entertaining.

So, enough about t.v...... I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I was someone else. What if I was a movie star? What if I was homeless? What if I were alone? And then I remember that I am alone. Even if I am surrounded by family, friends, students, and lovers.... I always feel alone. Maybe that's just the way that I'm hardwired. It's not something that I can't get past though. Like I said before, keeping busy is what keeps me going. Not sitting and having time to think, makes things better.

I bought new jeans. Finally! I haven't decided what to do with the old ones though. It seems like such a waste to throw them away...but I can't possibly wear them....lol....

YSL is offically my favorite fragrance maker.

Haven't been reading like I should. I need to.


We don't always get what we want

Thunder and Lightning

So my internet has been down for like days now. I don't know how to fix it. I am bumming off a "superduper router" from like a neighbor or something.

My work life and home life are really different right now. It seems almost opposite all the time. If something is going good at work then my home life sucks, if home life is great then work life sucks. When can things get equal?

Oh yea, why is it that people don't return text messages or phone calls. I'm not talking about relationships here, I'm talking about people you just know. Maybe it's good news. Maybe it's not, but either way, isn't the polite thing to do is call back?

My sister graduated from Southwestern. It was awesome. My mom and I drove to Austin on Friday, picked up my sister and dad and had dinner together. The next day was the hottest day of the month! I felt bad for her in her black robe, especially when standing on a riser to take the panoramic picture, but she looked great and should be proud. Luv you Lana! We came back on Monday, so it was like a four day weekend. To top it off we have inservice today (Friday) so I only had to teach 3 days this week. Work life rocks!

We also had Drill Team tryouts...again. Now I have a total of 24 people on my Silver Star Dance Team. Our first performance is Saturday. Freshman orientation. I found myself staying an hour later than I had to but I have kinda gotten a little carried away with this organization stuff. Today we met the band directors and worked out our room assignments for next year. Turns out that we can keep a dance room. Yea!

So done with Boys!!!

I am starting to really hate relationships...what am I saying....I have always hated relationships. It is just so frustrating all the time.

I wear my heart on my tree

So I did a funny thing the other day.

I was painting a poster for school and I bought all these paints and things. I mostly used the black and silver markers and so I had the poster paints left over. My trees were cut the other day and one branch was facing the front. I decided to paint a red heart on it... only the paint looked like hot pink. It turned out even better. It surprised me and lasted through the rain storm last night. It looks really cool and I'm going to try to put a pic up of it.
