It was such an amazing beautiful day, I went to the beach. I was determined to go whether it was with someone else or by myself. Maureen almost went with me, but there was miscommunication. Steve (my bro-n-law) felt bad that I didn't have anyone to go with so he went with me for like an hour and then I stayed there for a few hours after that. I felt so calm and refreshed. I really think I need to live somewhere that I can go to the beach anytime I want to. The only thing it was missing was the sound of the waves. It was too calm of a day, so the water wasn't making any noise. I fell asleep too only for like a half hour, but so amazing. I am sorry none of my friends could go with me cause it was really a great time. Pry one of the last nice days of the summer/fall. Is it weird to go to the beach by yourself?-Actually there was a kid with his towel next to me there by himself too. I noticed that when I got up to leave he followed, which was kind of strange. Maybe he didn't want to be the only one on the beach by himself?? Generally when I go to the beach I like to tan without my shirt on, but I try to be tasteful about it. Today though I thought it might be weird if i took off my shirt if I was there by myself so I decided to just show as much skin as possible without taking the top part of my bathing suit off. Would that be weird if someone tanned without a shirt by themself???

I decided that i really need more clothes. I always like to dress fairly nicely for the first week or so of classes and then its all down hill from there. BUT i would actually like to try hard this year to dress nicely. The only thing is that 2 rooms where I have 3 classes are seriously freezing. So I will have to get some sheek (sp?) sweaters. Also note to self-get enough rest daily...so that is what I am off to do

Tonight a few of us are going to Mister Goodbar if anyone would like to join. Its Mike's 21st. Happy Birthday my little Mike-a-roonie!!!

So I am now realizing how much work I am going to have to do this semester, and it is going to be quite a bit. Although most college students are used to writing papers, I am not and now I have like 14 paper to write so far. Alot of them are 5 pages, (listed 5 or less) but still that is quite a bit. For me anywho. Could be a good semester if i am responsible about it all.

I am a little sad today for some reason-or maybe it just hit me right now?

Happy semester everyone!!! :)

Although summer isn't "offically" over just yet, i think it is for anyone that goes to school. I was so set that I was going to do something fun this weekend, which fizzled into absolute nothing. I was in total need of some fresh air and open country and all i got was my clostrophobic (way wrong spelling) house and bad weather reports.-damnit

I am excited and not excited about going to school. I feel like I never left and i still have like 10,000 projects to finish up which won't be done until december. All that grad school shit and stoopid exams you have to take. I am just really tired of never feeling I have accomplished a damn thing. I am scared of overloading myself this semester. I have 2 independent studies and 4 classes. One of my independent things is TA'ing for stats, along with that i have to do a small research project. The other is a continuation of my resiliency study this summer. Keep studying studying studying for the GRE's. I knew my small vocabulary would catch up with me one day, and apparently that day is finally here-damnit.

Jesse, it was so good to see you when you were here I feel like we didn't really get to visit at all tho.-damnit

Terry I hope you had an amazing birthday, and you better had partied it up.-Yeah!!!
