I'm taking a poetry class and I'm uber siked about it.
Also taking a political science class..and linguistics, and music history.
Band. Band. Band.
I'm debating on declaring a double major, but i should probably go talk to someone in the history department before I do that.
So, with this poetry class, might come some inspiration.
I really hope so, I haven't written much in a while.
A lag, you could call it I suppose.
But I missed playing a real horn.
And writing so much.
And seeing real friends and laughing with them,
but now I'm back in action,
and it feels so
damn
good.

I'm so happy there- it's nice to be me again.
And to enjoy myself without having to dread waking up the next day.
The people there are awesome too.
I love them and miss them already.
College makes you realize who your friends really are.
Specifically, those at home who were my friends.
I haven't felt like visiting anyone really.
That sounds terrible, but being home again kinda dampens my mood.
Plus, some of my good friends at home have been pretty depressed lately.
And sometimes, only sometimes,
(and i suppose that now is one of those times)
I can't really deal with their depression
because for my sake, I need people who are fun
and awesome and caring around me.
I still hate this town.
I'm planning to live in a city eventually.
But sometimes it's nice to be back in this quiet, awfully dead town,
just to say hello to the passing stranger
on his john deere tractor.

Our "crews" of 6 people are assigned a worksite with a description of what has to get done for the resident.
I had to build a deck and handicap ramp for a woman.
The only issue is that she had two strokes the week we were there, so no one is really sure if she's going to live long enough to use it.
But hey, that's service for you.
It was pretty amazing actually- I just love the experience.
I also got to hang out with cool people from around the US,
as well as other people I haven't gotten to see in such a long time.
It changes someone else's life, as well as impacts yours. I don't even think i can explain it.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back home for the two weeks that I am home...
I missed my lake and boat. I know, I'm a loser sometimes but what can I say.
This summer has flown by for the most part. I can't even seem to keep up with life-
Life gets in the way of life and before you know it, you've moved on.
It's odd, really. People and friends I'd have expected I would see all summer long I wasn't able to see or only saw once.
And people I didn't think I was close to, or at least I didn't expect to see much, I got to spend more time with.
I move into college on the 18th.
I dunno if I can even wrap my head around that! It's very bittersweet.
Plus, I'm not even really ready. I don't have half the crap I need.
Well, the race team has a race today so I suppose I'm off for that shortly.
Woot...

I forget about it most of the time, and the other time of my life that isn't most of the time is so chaotic.
But I love living chaotically.
Second session of sailing ended today.
I saw a few of my old friends last night at a party- ones that I haven't seen since...well....2 years ago on the mission trip.
I guess I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them again.
Some of them are going to Maryland with me this year though, so that should be exciting.
I saw my twins on the lake today. That was definitely a benefit.
I miss them a lot too.
It's a whole lot of missing people and very little time to see anyone kinda thing.
Work's okay.
Saw Billy Joel a while back. Got to walk through the casino illegally.
Turned 18. I can vote now bitches.
But I can't get juvenile if I were to kill someone. Damn.
I'm really exhausted.
Yanno what- there's so much to say and yet nothing to say at the same time.
Maybe this journal is worthless, but no one can say that I don't try.

Because I haven't kept up.
But such is life at times..
I graduated last weekend. Bittersweet, I think.
I had my graduation party last week. Pretty fun, pretty intense, but almost upsetting.
I like the newish format of dA. Things actually delete when I click the delete button.
Imagine that.
First racing practice today. It's definitely different, but the change isn't particularly bad.
I feel like I'm kind of starting from scratch again with the team, but I don't mind.
I'm currently on my new macbook (black of course because white gets filthy!).
I saw Sex and the City (the movie) with a friend of mine, and that was the first time I had ever even really seen that show/movie. I was never one of its fans.
I'm probably going to a concert this Thursday.
I'm also exhausted.
Anyone ever get sick of egos and stupidity?
I sure do.
I have an interesting idea involving sailboat bailers the size of those Costco detergent bottles. Anyone who sails with me will either hear about this or at least understand.
If you don't sail, you're missing out.
I passed my USSailing Lv 2 course. It was pretty fun.
My IT coach for the course was pretty inspiring.
A lot of my friends are away.
I don't think I can comprehend my own thoughts right now.
I bought new flip flops and a pair of sandals.
They're pretty cool, but they don't quite match up to my circle flip flops.
Nothing quite compares.
I think I'm kind of a nutcase.
I'm pretty sure other people think that too.
I think the new instructor will be good this year, but I'll let you know at the end of the summer.
I decided on a college. Insane, right?
I'm tired of dealing with loan paperwork already.
I'm glad it's summer.
I don't really know what else to say.
So much has been happening that I can't function.
But don't worry, I live, I accept, and I move on.
Love.
Out-

I'm not really sure I've liked this year overall- junior year was the best year.
I'm pretty wiped out (still not sleeping well) and I have started to come down with some senioritis.
I've been accepted into 3 colleges and I'm currently waiting to hear back from another 3.
The process has been stressful- I've now moved on to scholarship applications.
Sometimes I feel so alone.
My grandfather just passed away and I feel nothing, which in turn makes me feel like a horrible person.
I still have to find a prom dress.
I've met a good number of different people this year, which has been fun, but not the same as hanging out with my closest friends who are now in college.
Some days I find that I don't want to get up in the morning.
Some days I can't wait to get out.
I've come to the recent conclusion that yes, I am tired of being skeptical about certain topics.
I'm going to try to expose myself a little more.
I dropped band, but not really. I'm still involved and I'm still a drum majorette, I'm just not in the class anymore.
Currently I should be finishing AP Euro but I'm not.
I dominate Lego Star Wars I and II on PS2.
I've been watching Charmed a lot lately, just to cheer me up a little.
I'm graduating in the top 18% of my class.
I have a piccolo french horn that I love to death.
I have also decided that I want to live in New York City for at least 2 years because I am completely obsessed and totally in love with the city.
I miss sailing.
I wish summer would arrive sooner.
Yet, I want to go snowboarding again soon.
I plan on majoring in English and History
And possibly minoring in music.
I'm exhausted and my eyes feel like they're bleeding out of my sockets, so I end this here but I'll try to keep up with this journal.
Ha.
Out.

I thouroughly enjoyed playing in this show moreso than in the past ones I've done.
There was no drama shit or tension between the cast/crew/band members and everyone who was performing in the show had a desire and true passion to perform and to sing.
You should see the music room- there is a chaos of shoes, clothes, costumes, makeup, and lots of hair products laying everywhere. Haha...
And the girls took over the guy's bathroom as well. Yeah, they complained, but hey, they're guys.
I had a wicked time, and made myself useful by stapling a ribbon (which posed as a belt) to Evelyn and running home to grab extra shoes for Clare. Oh I love show business.
I hope the audience loved it as much as we loved performing it-
Thank you for my lovely martini sunglasses and my magnet. .
As we would all say,
"Don't be hatin'" the Cast and Crew of 1940's Radio Hour: I love you guys.

Oh Bell rehearsals.
Hey! I used apostrophe.
I is in AP english.
Work...so much of it.
I need to GET OUT or else I'm going to scream.
Really.
This weekend? Anyone?

]]> ~WindShadow http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/15161299/ http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/15161299/ Sun, 21 Oct 2007 16:15:06 PDT remember that maybe you are where you're supposed to be.
I must state that I am quite delerious and rather contemplative these days.
As I'm sure many other people are as well.
The workload of senior year has been intense.
And I normally don't mind but lately the stress level has been to the point of ceasing to care about much of anything.
My good friend Samantha has once again left for college today.
I was only able to see her a few times through the one week she had off.
And yes, parting is such sweet sorrow, (my good ole friend Shakespeare...(cough) No one tell our AP english teacher!), but I hope to see her again.
I miss her already. It makes me want to cry.
But I compose myself and move on.
I do need to get out. Ironically, I am out and on the move constantly.
Rehearsals up the ying yang so to speak...along with all the stuff I'm involved with.
But really, I need to get out and do something; with people I love, people I know, and people I care about. Or just with SOMEONE. So my dear friends, do not be afraid to hit up the chell phone (I am currently plotting with kyrazee and sami)
The insanity is at breaching point.
I must confess that things have been hell lately.
But I live and move on and I don't ever surrender.
The ride is always fun and will be worth it in the end, oh yes it shall.

Thoughts:
Are my SAT scores good enough to get in?
Yes, I'm ranked top 20% in my class.
But is that good enough?
Whatever happens, happens for a reason right?
Why am I so anxious?
Apply early action to UConn and Roger Williams.
Have to go to guidance to get some information.
English essay due Friday.
Research paper due soon.
Sam coming home to visit.
I miss her so much it makes me cry.
AP Euro homework.
Have to get music for church stuff.
"You know what I don't need? MORE BAND"
Oh good times.
Berkshire League Rehearsal tomorrow.
Playing horn at open house.
Ugh.
Find a decent job.
Shoot me with a shotgun at close range while you're at it.
So much stuff going on.
Love. Overrated?
Senior Quotes.
I don't want to be here.
Home is hell.
Why is each line in my list of thoughts getting shorter and shorter?
Financial Aid.
Does anyone know when Prom is? Is the date even set yet?
I think I wrote it down somewhere.
Need to get letter of recommendations.
Death to work.
Math eats me.
I feel sorry for those who read this.
I shouldn't have eaten that cookie.
It's so hot.
I should open a window.
Need to go downstairs.

Doesn't every group need a skeptic?
Even better; I happen to be a SARCASTIC skeptic.
Sometimes, I admit, I wonder if I am too skeptical about things such as love.
Maybe sometimes I'm too harsh on those sorts of topics. Sometimes it's hard to let people in, but I'm trying to be a little more open. I mean, yes for those of you who know me I'm pretty outgoing. BUT to really get past my shell, it takes some effort.
Quite a bit of effort actually.
Anyway, I'm letting you guys know that I'm trying.
I'm also pretty annoyed with people who tell me that I won't go anywhere in life.
Excuse me, but who even asked you? Certainly not me.
But that's okay. Really.
Because I'll get somewhere in life, I'll get somewhere pretty far.
And then I can turn around and say, "Yes, I'm their beautiful let down..."
Oh I can't wait for the day!

It's exciting, frightening, and stressful at the same time.
I'll have to make some pretty tough desicions soon.
Today wasn't bad. I think it'll be a good year.
However, I did have the feeling of missing something.
I felt like I was missing a part of myself all day long.
I suppose it's due to Sam, Amanda, and Brittany not being there.
I have to get back to AP Euro work.
Soooo if any of you actually want me to, I can keep you updated as much as possible.

It's going to be hard, but I guess I'll be okay. They'll be back.
Looking back, I can say we did okay. We made it through. We must have done something right.
Tomorrow is the huge ass regatta that I'm sailing in.
(woot)
It should be interesting...there are many things I also want to clear up so I'm hoping to have the opportunity.
We'll see.
Poetry is slacking a lot, I know. BUT I'm working on something now (that I might use for college stuff).
So hopefully I'll have a draft of that posted shortly.
Other than that, school starts this coming week.
Peace out all-

I have had no time to write because I spend all my time working.
Time that I don't use working is spent doing AP summer work.
To be honest, I haven't really felt inspired to write in the past few months.
I suppose it's due to stress and worry and hectic schedules.
School starts in about a month give or take. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
I'm somewhat excited but I'm also not going to be seeing some of my really close friends walking the halls with me.
I recieved my powerboating license in the mail a while back, so I'm legal!!
Nothing is sacred...haha.
I have a few sailing races that I have to coach this week and then I leave Thursday for SC to meet up with some relatives.
I should be back August 11th, but we'll see.
And that's how it's going down.
Catch you on the flip side?
[twen]

Oh: How come all the comments on my deviants disappeared?

(So if you're dead and I feel like saving you, I have the ample opportunity to use my insane skills to ressurect you)
AND now I have to live through my sailing instructor course Tuesday-Friday next week. Yay for on the water tests, written tests, presentations, and sailing.
I sailed this past Saturday. Dan and I had a rather difficult time trying to get a 420 set up (they were all packed for the winter) but we managed.
In about 2 weeks I'm going to RI for a handbell festival. It shall be exciting.
But school is done and summer is here...
Now I have to go play Pomp and Circumstance for the graduating senior class tomorrow morning.
Sob, not to mention a good amount of my best friends are graduating tomorrow...
Well, I'm out.

It should be interesting. It's basically a bunch of people from CT who get together and play in ensembles.
Yep.
And then I randomly decided that I would audition for Northern Regionals?
It was a very spur of the moment thing. My band director was registering people and asked for my help, then noticed that I wasn't registering. He asked why. I said I didn't know why. He asked if I wanted to do, and in about 30 seconds...I said yes; quite unsurely. Then I figured "what the hell?" Even though most everyone else has their music and has done Regionals before.
Me? No way. I'm going in cold turkey. Haha. Well actually I'll get my piece and practice it...buutttt....yanno how it goes. At least I'm getting a higher level of credit for band. Mwaha

So I guess that's what's new.

Oh and I'm teaching Westover kids how to sail tomorrow.

Should be fun.

Okay?
I don't feel like I need one? If I meet a really nice guy or something, okay, cool, but I'm not going to go hunting around for some guy just to say I have a boyfriend.

I'll try to get to everyone's deviants as soon as possible, but it might take me a while do to having so many to look at. School's been crazy as always, I never seem to run out of homework. Oh Joy. And on top of that I have soccer games til 7 and then Jazz Band. It's been really busy here, I'm finishing up with sailing and what not as well. . Hopefully I'll be an instructor next year. I have to march on Sunday for band, and then I have soccer practice tomorrow..and Bells on Sunday.

I finally got to the doctor's today to get my knee checked out. It's been locking up on me a lot lately, especially during soccer. I found out that on the bottom of my knee cap, the bone is rough and clicks/grinds against my other bones when I run. I'll have to buy medication and these other things to go in my shoes....and THEN I have to take physical therapy. -_-'. Anywho, otherwise, tis going okay.

I really don't feel like typing the WHOLE story out. I'm sure no one would get it because you weren't there. I saw the play "Wicked", which is the pre-quel and "untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West" to Wizard of Oz. I am not too fond of the Wizard of Oz myself, but I LOVED Wicked. It was great singing and dancing, and the plot was very good. Through out the play, they poked fun at the Wizard of Oz. It's about how the Wicked Witch became "Wicked". Turns out she wasn't really wicked..just misunderstood. Galinda, in the play, is a preppy good witch. (Which was totally funny) and Elphaba, is the Wicked witch who was born green. Elphaba was more of a tomboy. Overall, the play was really good. I am going to see it again next year somepoint.

Well, I'm running short on time, but i will finish my story later on. ]]> ~WindShadow http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4769444/ http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4769444/ Wed, 09 Mar 2005 13:52:26 PST ~WindShadow http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4622733/ http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4622733/ Sat, 19 Feb 2005 17:25:05 PST just hang with me here.. ]]> ~WindShadow http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4245971/ http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4245971/ Wed, 05 Jan 2005 12:35:53 PST ~WindShadow http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4222827/ http://WindShadow.deviantart.com/journal/4222827/ Sun, 02 Jan 2005 17:26:53 PST ~WindShadow
