We Wear the Mask

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes�
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

-Paul Dunbar

Okay, I have all my financial shit figured out. Right now I owe about two hundred dollars-which I can totally deal with. Whew!

Well, I believe I'm going to be in my hall government, so next year i can be a RA and get free room and board.

Lovely.

School starts in 6 days. 6. That's it. No more summer. Just one last year of high school. One last year in Cedar. One last year safe, secure, at home. One last year with the people I've known my whole life. One last chance to make lifelong friendships. One last chance to prove myself. One chance to make this the best year of my life so far. It's starting out okay. Hopefully it'll keep going. My goal is to have at least a 3.9 GPA this year. I want to graduate summa cum laude SO badly!!! You don't even know. And I'm retaking my ACT's, again, in February just to try to get a little bit higher. Right now I have a 27. This year is all about school. Luckily Josh feels the same. He said he's gonna' do all he can to get to bed by 9 o' clock every night just so he won't be tired at school. Plus he wants to get good grades, he wants to have a 4.0 in college for goodness sakes. The kid is crazier than me!! And I like that. Hopefully between my goals and him pushing me I'll get a 4.0 or higher this year. I have a 3.67 right now... so I have some work. But I can do it. Especially since my new thing is that I DON'T lose. Josh told me that one... and I like it.

Anyway, I should get going. Mucho amor a todos.

Ugh.

i have to figure out all of this financial shit today.

The financial aid office is stupid, stupid, stupid.

They need to actually apply my financial aid to my account so i can take classes. Hmm, that's a new idea right there.

But, I have to go over and talk to them before my english class at noon.

Blah.

Plan B is now available without a prescription.

How did that ever happen with a Republican President? To tell you the truth, I don't care. I'm just glad it's happened.

I just had my first class- computers and society. It's a huge lecture class with about 250 people in it.

I feel so sheltered here sometimes. In the library the book shelves move along a track so they can be squished together or moved, to allow for more books in less space. I just found it so cool, considering the cedar library is about the size of my dorm room. Just little things like that make me feel like I was cheated out of some things growing up in cedar.

I'm getting along a little better with everyone. It is known in the towers that my floor is the party floor. As soon as the elevator doors open you can feel the bass. You can't really hear the bass (it's too loud), but you can defineately feel it. Our RA is cool too. He pretty much told us that he doesn't care what we do, as long as we don't drink in the dorm. A bunch of us were in the hallway Saturday night, defineatly not sober, talking to him. I made a sign and put it on his door that says,

" I want to be the little man who turns the light on and off in the fridge."

I do good work.

Next, I have my English class at noon. I'm actually excited about that, and hopefully everything goes well, considering English is most likely going to be my major.

When I was reading Jane Eyre in the study room yesterday, I met a really nice guy who lives down the hall. There are some cool people here at Central.

Josh told me he loves me. And I believe it. When we look at eachother it's like there's no one else in the world. I love that. I new I'd fall in love with him. You can tell it'll happen immediately. I love love love being in love. He treats me like a princess. You know the only argument we've gotten in so far is over who's more perfect. I say he is, he says I am. We're just always happy to be together. I like that a lot. Our relationship is completely perfect (at least so far...).

Oh wait, I forgot. There is one thing that is not so perfect. His mom. See, she seems to think we spend too much time together. She told him not to get too attatched. My parents think she's crazy. They LOVE Josh... they think he is it. They talk about him like he's their son-in-law or something. My Mom is even driving him all the way to Calvin Christian tomorrow just so that he can go to a baseball game with Steph and I. That does NOT happen. I just don't get why his mom doesn't want us to hang out so much. I keep trying to figure out what I did wrong... but I can't find anything. I hope I didn't do something bad that I didn't realize was bad at the time. I just want her to like me. His dad seems to, and Tyler is in love with me. Ty hangs out with just me and is perfectly fine with it. It's just his mom... which, by the way, is the last person you want not liking you. UGH!!!!

Anyway, I've gotta' jet. Love ya' all. See ya' tomorrow... if you're at school that is. Peace out.

So, here at CMU now. Good fun. I'm in the library with Jackie.

I'm going to have to get use to all of this, I'm so tired from all the walking I've done already today.

I miss everyone already!

I have an ensemble audition on Tuesday! Classes start monday. I've gotten all of my books and things like that. It's quite exciting.

More to come, though, not as frequent as i might have hoped: until classes start i have to walk all the way to the library to update. I'm starting to hate moving. :)

Wow, I am really going to miss Zach when he goes back to college...today was the last time I am going to see him! That is so sad. He got me the most awesome bracelet in Spain.

I'm leaving for Central tomorrow after my dentist appointment.

We went to IHOP last night, and then to Meijer, and then to the cemetery. Creepy shit.

Summer is over.
No more drunken nights of should be regrets, no more nights getting the shit scared out of us at the cemetery, no more lake parties, no more camping, no more going to work with a hang over.

Well, the last one, maybe...or not.

We'll see. I'm not quite sure what to make of this whole 'college' thing yet.

For some, an institution of higher education, for many others, well, what can I say? It's a party school after all.

This is my last week here for a long time.

I called in sick today for work because, lucky me, I have a bad ass cold.

I'm leaving Thursday sometime. If you want to hang out, or give me kisses, or give me flowers, or give me presents, or write long nonsensical poems, or just want to have general relations with me, give me a ring before then.

Jessie, I know which one you want to do :).

Tomorrow is my last day of work, and fittingly I'm working until the desk closes.

Who knew!

Where are we going? We're going to a party, a birthday party, you're birthday party! Happy birthday darling, we love you

very
very
very
very
much.

Good morning everyone! Have a wonderful day.

Amazing
Josh. I just love the name. He brings out a part of me that I didn't know existed. I feel perfect with him. I can't stop smiling when I'm with him and when I think about him. It's AWESOME. My friends love him, my family loves him, I like him a LOT... it's amazing. Plus his brother is in love with me and his friends and I get along GREAT! We already talk about "our" kids and "our" house and where we'll live. It's weird... but cool. He even wrote a song about the situation we were in with JD... it's WAY sweet to me. He says that he's waited so long for me and that he's not scared to stand up to JD for me even though he would probably get killed, because for me it's worth it. It was AMAZING!!!! He's amazing. This whole relationship is perfect. I absolutely adore seeing him. We hung out until around midnight last night, then today I saw him at two and he goes, "Did ya' miss me?" I thought it was cool, he said even a few hours is too long to not see me. I tell ya', I have to best boyfriend on the planet. NO DOUBT!!!!

Anyway, I'll stop babbling now. Check ya' later loves.
