kanye west is making me nostalgic

hey yous, i miss you both way a lot

and we are TERRIBLE at this blog

i watch gilmore girls everyday at 5:30

i listen to silly dance music, and when i occasionally stumble upon please don't stop the music, it automatically wins.

stillll haven't met anyone here that i like as much as you two

peanut m&m's have a different candy coating here, making them less delicious

school here often makes me think of our many wasted days in forest city, and that even though it suuucked, it was fine because you two were there to make sarcastic comments with, and i miss making people laugh

when ever i smoke, i think of that night when all three of us were huddled outside my basement door, cigarettes hanging out of our mouths because it was too cold to hold them, just gigglin'

today, i had no appetite, so i was trying to think of things i would eat, and the only thing that came to mind was crab rangoon, and steamed fetus (is that what we called them? my god i can't even remember). and then i tried to remember my last meal at sum hing before coming here, and i couldn't

i kissed a french boy, and had neither of you to tell about it, even though i would have been cool and detached about it anyways :P like you know how i am :)

i want some fantasias

i want to go dancing with you two, soooo much

every time i listen to kings of convenience, i think of that weekend at my house laura, and how fucking amazing reese sticks are, and how this summer, we are doin' it again! except this time with you too jannie

when it is time for me to pack up, i will have that same, weird, sad day when i have to figure out what to do with the stuff i am not bringing back like when we you left us your stuff, jannie

we need to have a road trip.

hugssssssssssss and hugs and hugs

Ohhh, jeeeeez ...

I really miss you girls. You're both in Paris together right now ... pffft. I'm sure you're having an amazing time! Someday, we've all got to go there together.

Anyways ... I mean, you both talked about school and ... uh, I'm not going to give you my schedule, just because it's really not important. I'm a Humanities major for now ... Ian's dad told me some horrible joke the other day (after inquiring about my major) about how people who major in Humanities end up working at McDonalds. That made me feel nice.

Aside from Ian's dad, I really am enjoying Waldorf much more than I could've ever imagined I would. I had some seriously negative feelings about Waldorf last year, but I now realize that it was the high school part of taking Waldorf classes that put such an enormous damper on it for me.
It's so whatev'. It's great to have school be sort of an apetizer to the main dish that is my life, rather than doing nothing but school and squeezing as much non-school-related things into the tiny amount of freedom from school that I have, like it was in high school.

There's a new Cabin Coffee that just opened up in town literally a day ago that I'm going to apply to work at...
But aside from that ...
Right now, I just drink a lot of butterbeer and coffee and make imovies. I've seeeriously gotten addicted to editing stuff in imovie. It just feels really good to be creating something. I know it's not necesarily an "art" or anything, but I'm not really an artistic person ... I mean, I can't draw and I can hardly paint, so things like taking pictures and now imovie-ing-it-up are sort of where I get my fix, I guess.

Anna and I have a 5 day break from school this weekend, so we're heading to Kansas City to hang out with my bro for a bit. I'm pretty pumped, because I've never been there (shocker) and I haven't seen Geoff in a while, so it should be a good time. Plus, he's at culinary school and he's cooking and baking ALLL the time, so hopefully Anna and I will cash in on some tasty homework assignments, or something!

I mean, my life is not too terribly exciting at the moment. It's not exactly how I'd planned for this year to go, but I really do feel that it was the RIGHT way to go.

Jannie, do you have skype?? Siri and I talked on it for the first time the other day, and it was greaaaaat. It'd be amazing to talk at your face, too!!

Bleh, I love you guys and I'm really glad to hear you're both doing well and are happy!

UPdate!

Heeeey ma beeees, I agree with Jannie, the time has come... So I am posting my first entry from france, hooah! Just to copy Jannie, i will give you my schedule! which totally blows.

Monday: 9-10 English, 10-11 French literature (in which my brain melts), lunch, 12-13 english agaaaain, 13-14 history (my professor is so nice in this class, he always plays classical music and gives us chocolate :) aaand 14-15 i meet with a frenchie and help her with english (i haven't actually started doing this yet, but on monday i will)

Tuesday: 9-10 English, 10-12 P.E. (climbing at the moment), 12-13 fucking english again, lunch, 14-15 French lit, hour break = useless, and finally 16-17 math

Wednesday: 8-9 Biology, 9-10 Math, 10-11 english

Thursday: 8-9 Spanish, 9-11 French lit, then a three hour break, 14-15 English, and 15-17 my 'European' class which is history in english and french

Friday: 8-9 Spanish, 9-10 History, 10-12 French lit

and because french school is mean,

Saturday: 8-9 Chemistry, 9-11 History

     So yeahhhh, i don't like school. But anyways, other than school, i am having a good time :) There have been many instances when i have wished you two could be with me, thinking of sarcastic comments to make, and laughing at ourselves :) highschool in forest city feels like decades ago, but i will never forget alllll the time we had to waste together, because it was the best part, by far.  

     The other day at school i was sitting with a couple people from my class, waiting to go to lit, and a guy decided to squeeze in between me and the girl i was sitting next to, and talk to us.  So, inevitably, he found out that i was American, and instantly about 7 other guys flocked.  It is so absurd how much of a novelty i am here, Jannie, you must have felt like this too, americans are just as bad :) I have decided to start telling guys that i have a boyfriend, because when they find out that i don't, everything gets ridiculous.  French teenagers are exactly like american ones in their social behaviors.  Well, i suppose there are slight differences, but overall, there are just as many idiots, just as many carlys (not very many, carlys are hard to come by) and just as many helplessly dorky people.  Although, everyone dresses a little bit better here. 

     Being here has given me a great appreciation of independence.  As of now, i feel aggravatingly young, despite the fact that i am older than most everyone around me.  I do not like having to rely on other people for so many things, but at the moment i don't really have a choice.  However, the more i learn, the happier i get, mostly because i feel like i am getting myself back, rather than living with a strange version of me in which i live inside my head, feeling like a stupid kid.  If you want to be humbled, move to a country in which you cannot understand or speak the language, it definitely works.  

     I think the US public education system does a great disservice to the youth of america by not teaching language at an early age, we take our natural english speaking ability for granted, don't bother to learn other languages and stupidly assume that everyone else in the world should adjust to our culture.  Blehhhh it's rather disgusting.

     So anywayyyy, i miss you both, and love youuu :) Laura, i wish so badly that you could be here next week with jannie and me, it won't be the same with out you :(  But we will reunite eventually, and it will be AWESOME. Alors, a bientot :)

Probably not intersting for you guys at all but now you know anyway.

I really wish the summer hadn't ended the way it did... my year in FC was really great (thanks to you two) but the summer just became so bad and all i wanted was to go home. But now when im home i would do anything to turn back time and make the summer good!

Oh well I'll be back next summer and we'll make up for lost time and the summer of 08

i miss you and love you more than anything! im so glad i met you two and i know for sure that we'll be friends for a loooong time!

summer is DUMB

So sitting in my room, with the seventh harry potter book playing in the background by request of signe, i have realized some things (I don't know if hp affected this, puhaps, i mostly just like to add details about it to my narrations :). Anyway, i repeat, i have realized some things... Unlike every other summer, this one doesn't really deserve the name, or at least all of the characteristics associated with it. All the previous summers of my life from age 6 and on have begun with the end of school, and ended with going right back to what i hated. I was able to enjoy summer because i knew that in a couple months, i would have to go back to pencils, notebooks, binders, folders and all the other shit that comes with the beginning of school. I had all my friends here, didn't have to work and was able to go on vacations that were all planned for me.
However, this summer has consisted of about 1,543,589 trips to minneapolis for various reasons; retrieving people from the airport, taking people to the airport, attending graduations, attending graduation parties, and other things that i don't really remember. Other contents: the thrilling activity of trying to come up with a job, realizing that was about impossible, and making the decision to work for the pond boss.

This summer is almost like a three month long study hall, a period of time that has to happen, and one in which you might accomplish something, maybe... a period of waiting, wasting time until the things you want to happen, happen, whatever they may be.

Jannie, even though i knew this all along, i never really realized it until you were gone: your presence in this void of a town brought a lot of excitement, and i mean that in a good way :) Laura and i had gotten pretty good at finding entertainment, but having you here made it so much easier. It's strange not having you here

I don't know who all reads this blog, but i think i can safely say that i miss you all

I'm borrrrrrrred

I found a cozy place next to the one giant (yet well hidden by all of the bookshelves that are no longer of any use) window in the IMC to bask in the sunshine and listen to Billy Joel's greatest hits.

[I just watched Tylor Tapp throw a purple bicycle across the school lawn.]

After completing day three of high school without Siri, I am now certain of two things:

1.) I don't know what I'd do without Jannie here to keep the bullies away, especially when Siri is gone

2.)I am going to be miserable for so long when the two of you leave me.

- Every friend I ever make from this point on is going to have a hell of a time coming anywhere close to meaning as much to me as the two of you do.

ahhhhhhhhhh ... c'est la vie.

BALLS ON MY CHIN
