This is too much for me to understand......

ZOMFG.

I have two weeks of school left, not counting exam week. Next week is a four-day week. So is this one.

I'm almost done with my first year of college.

Exuberance!

Why I called 911: A Story
Actually, this will be pretty brief.

I did not have French class today because we have our oral exams this week. I also did not have my business class today because today is a "research day." The only class I had was Cultural Anthropology, which began at 1:40.

So I got off to a late start and when I went to leave, I noticed a wire going from the telephone pole in our neighbor's yard to a point in front of our mailbox. I glanced over to the telephone pole and noticed that all the wires running from that pole across the street on Peachtree were hanging down low.

After much debate on who to call, I finally ended up calling 911. I didn't use the house phone because it turned out that the wire in the middle of the road was our telephone service. I used my cell phone to dial 911 and after being transfered told the guy I didn't know who to call but this was what was up. He said they'd contact the people who fix things like that and it would get fixed.

After over an hour, I called Cannon Township. Their non-emergency line is apparently the firestation. I talked to the fireman and he told me that he had put yellow flags on the power lines that were hanging down and contacted the telephone company. This was at about 9 and the telephone company said they'd be around in 4 hours. I asked the fireman if they were safe to drive under (and if the one ON THE GROUND WITH WIRES SHOWING was safe to drive over or around). He said the sagging ones were about 6 feet off the ground and there were higher points that I could drive under. He also said the one on the ground was safe but to be sure, I shouldn't drive on the part WITH WIRES HANGING OUT. I thanked him and hung up.

I eventually got up the courage and left because I still had my one class and then work. I decided not to go to Anthro because it really doesn't matter. I might be late to work.

All in all, it was pretty exciting. I thought I was going to get killed. I took pictures so I'll post those later, when I get home.

Even though it wasn't an emergency, I hope that's the last time I have to call 911.

I love you all.

Cloud Cult is why I wish I could sing.
Bobby's got a spacesuit made out of squirrel skin. He's pushing downwards out and sucking upwards in. This is truth to him.

Gina burns her Barbie til it's unrecognizable rubber. Screw your D-size cups 'cause I'm a way better lover. This is truth to her.

Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes. This is truth to me.

P.S.
It's the feeling that you're falling but there's a fine line between falling and flying.

um......I like how I will be turning 19 in a little over a month, and I still act like Holden fucking Caulfield. I am so immature it's driving me insane.

I think my car is dying. It's doing this loud shuddering death moan that makes me uncomfortable driving it.

I have sadness.

So.

When's everyone's last day of school?

Mine will be either May 3 or 4. That first week of May is exam week.

copycat reflections
So........in the style of Katie and Rachel, here we go.
I cheated and looked at my journal (not this one) cause I don't remember much.

A year ago I was a senior in high school. I was counting down the days to graduation, but I was afraid, as it says in my journal, of being "thrown into the real world without and job or a clue."

I was anxious to leave Rockford and never look back.

Now I'm sitting here, dreading my finals but looking forward to the week after. I'll be living back home for a month, during which I'm going to Illinois pick out horses for the upcoming camp season.

A year ago, I was in Illinois visiting my cousisns. And listening to the new Dead Meadow album. I was listening to it for the umpteenth time today, and I must say it has the essence of April. It doesn't have the heavy, humid air of May or June but it isn't bitter like March or February. It's just warm, full of hope and optimism for the days to come.

Ok, back on topic. I can't say next year will be much different from this year. I'll still be at Central, living in the dorms. Probably dreading my exams again.

Hopefully me and my friends will be apartment hunting. We'll be excited that we'll finally be able to just throw our weed on the kitchen table, without worrying about someone telling an RA.

Hopefully I'll have a real reason for being here, besides "What the hell else would I do?" or "My parents made me."

I was so wrong about this first year at college. I thought I'd be leaving home forever. I had it completely backwards. For the first time I realized I'm lost, that I don't know shit. So now all I have to do is find my way back home for the first time.

But tomorrow never knows, I guess.

One year ago today, I was on spring break. I was excited about prom and waiting for my dress to arrive. I was going to graduate from high school soon and I was anxious for our physics trip to Cedar Point.

Today, I am tired and not on spring break. I am excited about my first year of college life to be over and I'm waiting for 8:15 to arrive so I can get ready for class. I am going to drive myself in my car to Aquinas College and I'm anxious for my two dogs downstairs to shut up.

One year from today, I will be in France. I will be excited about the next weekend trip Emily and I take and will be waiting for my turn in the bathroom after my host siblings. I will be going to class at a French university with students from all over the world and will be anxious because Emily wasn't feeling well last night and it must be hard to be sick in a foreign country.

A lot changes in a year. It's amazing. I never really stop and think about it but one year ago I was attending high school in Rockford, Michigan. Today, I'm attending college at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I drive myself to school everyday. One year from now I will be attending university in Perpignan, France and taking weekend trips to Spain.

Wow.

I can't say I'm not a little scared.
