Slow down, you crazy child.
You're so ambitious for a juvenile.
But then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day.
Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine.
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time,
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight.
Too bad, but it's the life you lead.
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need.
Though you can see when you're wrong,
You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right.
You've got your passion. You've got your pride,
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
-Vienna, Billy Joel

New Years Resolution for my friend Emily and I....
Thursday, October 6, 2011
long time no see.
ok so it's not like you could do anything about the fact that i wasn't posting. deal with it.
i mean, it's just em and louise reading this anyways, right? mmk.
well college has been interesting. for the most part i hate it. lots of stuff has been happening since college started. had a job. lost it. lost all my friends to college. had two good friends still here that are past the college stage. just lost one of them. long story. not blog worthy. but anyways, i still have emmy here at UTC that i've known since 1st grade (yeah we are that legit... we've been friends for almost 12 years... i started going to BR in January of 1st grade and she was my "buddy")... so it's nice to have her here. not that we have lost track of one another or anything, we've always been friends, but it was hard over the years. she moved to maine in 2nd grade and then moved back January of 4th grade. we were never in the same class though. then she went to baylor and i went to gps.. so it was hard to find time to hang out. we both had our own lives. but our moms are bff's and have been good friends since emmy and i became friends. we went up to maine at some point when they lived up there and they came down here constantly since both of their families (her moms parents and her dads parents and her cousin) live here. SO it's been nice to have lunch with her 2-3 times a week, dinner occasionally, have our favorite class together (sociology of the family), study for that class together, and hopefully continue to take early childhood education classes with her.... cross our fingers!
anyways, other than classes and my job that i had, i didnt really do anything.. except join a sorority! haha pysched you out there didnt i?! yep, im a chi omega pledge. its fun. lots of stuff to do. lots of people to meet. just a lot going on. met tons of nice people through it. but im just gonna touch on two of my newfound friends. both are in my pledge class (means they went through rush when i did and such).
one is susanna. shes awesome. shes totally normal. we hang out before new member meetings, usually get there an hour early so we can sit outside the chi o house in the rocking chairs and basically catch one another up on how our week has been and what we did that weekend. we hope to make it a legit tradition. because even though we see each other every tuesday and thursday in our 8am english class, we hardly have enough time to talk! so we just plan on having our "rocking chair time" together each week.
second is my friend megan. she was in my pi chi group (rush group). shes awesome. also normal. she has a twin. we like to do a lot of the same things just like me and susanna. shes in the sociology of the family class with emmy too. megan is just chill and down to earth. shes up for anything just like susanna. every once in a while we grab lunch together. just depends.
so i have met people that im friends with and stuff. it just took foreverrrr it seemed like. college happens fast. there are a ton of changes all at once. like you move out of your home, start all these college classes (trust me, they are different... i wouldn't say harder, but just totally different than any high school class). the workload is different. its quick and lots of it, but you have a little longer to do it. it takes awhile to get used to it. im still not used to it. carole told me it will take time. and lots of it. bummer right?
this is my second all nighter im pulling this year.. and the first one was on sunday night.. so 2 in one week.... yeah. i was up for over 36 hours last time. i didnt really have a huge crash or anything, i just slept like a little babbyyy on monday night. it was great. this time i will at least get the weekend to rest over. which is always a positive. well, im going to continue cleaning my room like i was doing before i got SOOO sidetracked and typed up a freaking storm on here. did i mention i just wrote a 7 page research paper in the past few hours? yeah finally took my adderall and then took a 2 hour nap (it has to kick in somehow) and woke up at like 1:15am and started to force myself to do it. naturally it sucked at first, but i edited that out. i didn't think it was gonna be 7 pages.. was more aiming for like 4 pages, but it happens. haha i had literally done NO work on it the past 2 weeks... awful student, i know. but it got done. and i think it was actually pretty good. i had to read a ton before i could write it, so its intense. on sunday night when i stayed up, i wrote a 5 page paper for western humanities, wrote a 2 page paper for english (which is the same class i just wrote the 7 page paper for), and did ALL my math homework from the past 2 weeks... its hard math. it may be called elementary and middle school math, but we have an engineer in our class who is taking all the math courses... and he is struggling with it. because its not about the answer or anything, those are easy to get... its the method. like you leave out one tiny detail of the problem and you miss the whole problem. which is like 3-4 points out of only 50 points. yeah there are only like 20 problems on each test because they take SOOO long to do. it's ridiculous. and i have an awful teacher. she doesnt give homework back that she grades for correctness until after we take the test.... how are we suppose to learn?! most ridiculous thing everr.. just saying. we got our ch 1 and ch 2 hw that we turned in almost 3 weeks ago back on tuesday. yeah thanks.
OKAY NOW IM REALLY LEAVING.
still have so much to do.......
mucho love.

If you won/were given $20 million dollars (total like with taxes and all that stuff removed already).... what would you spend it on? Who would you give money to? Who would you not give money to? What would you do with it all?!
If I won $20 million dollars I would...
buy a new car: a 2010 or 2011 black Mercedes Benz GL 350 series
http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/explore/overview/class-GL/model-GL350BTC
buy a house at my favorite place in the whole world, Bald Head Island.
buy my mom a little car to drive around town in rather than driving around in her honker of a car
get my dad a new laptop and update all his technology (aka get him a good iPod for running, give him marathon money so he could travel and run in all his 50 states like he wants to do, update my dads running wardrobe)
help my parents move to wherever they wanna build a house
find THE BEST cancer doctor in the whole world for my grandma and fly with her to make sure she's in perfect health.... since writing this post my grandma has passed away from the effects of her chemotherapy :[
pay for my cousin Caitlins beauty school tuition and help her with some of her rent payments and stuff
give my cousin some money for graduate school
tell my brother I will help him with travel expenses when he wants to travel for school stuff
go and travel all over with my cousin Caitlin... New York, Australia, Italy, London, Paris, Rome, etc... we would have fun!!
get Taylor Swift to come over to hang out with me, Caitlin, and Emma...... JUST our family. No randoms or whatever.... like a total intimate time. It would be fun.
Take me and Caitlin to go see Lil Wayne and have him serenade her and then get backstage passes
buy property for my future
invest a bunch of money so it gains interest
spoil my little L's .... Ella and Molly would have such nice clothes ALL the time as would Max and Whitman.... I would make sure Ms. Debbie wouldn't have to work to get her kids through and stuff, get portraits of my girlies done, probably give the L's some money so they could get a better car for Griffin and pay off their debt they used to have. I would basically do whatever I had to do to make them comfortable and stuff.
I would still go to college and get my teaching degree so I could teach... but I would probably find somewhere to teach where I could just do part time and what not for a flexible sched.
give each of my cousins like $50,000 (yeah I have like 4 cousins on one side and 3 on the other side)
buy my cousin Tyler and my cousin Stephanie each a new car since writing this post my cousin stephanies car broke down completely. then Tyler got a new car so he gave her his old car. problem temporarily solved, but i would still probably buy stephanie a new car.
give my grandparents on my dads side like $100,000 or whatever they needed so they could live perfectly and get everything they've earned.. they worked so hard when my dad was little so my dad and uncle could go to college and such... they just like really deserve it. That way they could each get whatever they wanted and travel a bunch and donate to their church. And I would probably give them whatever money my grandfather needed to send his older brother to a better nursing home because I think they have had some issues and such.
go on a family vacation with each side of my family... somewhere good
take my only REAL blood aunt (my Aunt Joni) on a vacation somewhere so we could bond and hang out... she likes to travel
give my godmother like $50,000 or something to do with whatever she pleases.... she's not stupid, I have faith she would make good decisions
give my dads brother some money
I would indulge on my jacket hoarding... I just love jackets
I would travel a bunch.
I would still babysit because it is super fun, but I would prob not babysit as much... and chop out the people I don't like babysitting for.
I would find out my exact heritage.
I would get laser eye surgery for my brother.
travel with people... not just anyone, but people that i like.
donate money to our humane society
hire a personal assistant/organizer... hell i need one. i am so dysfunctional. its sad. that way i could get more things done.
get the new iphone.
build my own dream house.. it would be awesome. wanna know what i would put in it? a craft room, a play room for whenever the L's visit, a pool, a jacket room (for all my jacket hoarding), and a few super awesome bedrooms... like straight from magazines and tv shows. like the ones you see and you are like I WANT THAT. like the ones with towel warming drawers in the bathrooms. yeah. with a mac in each bedroom on the perfect desk.
If I won $20 million dollars I would...

I think I mentioned it but I might have forgotten... I got my iPad 2. It's awesome. But that was random. My car is still broken. It's at the shop. Waiting for 3 days for them to even LOOK at it. Which is silly because I'm sure it's something easy to fix. Anyways I have a lot to do this weekend and week and most cannot be done without a car.
I have one exam to study for.... english.

GRRRRRRRRR
something is wrong with my car. i'm angry. because it's my last week of high school and I can't even drive my own car around to all the fun activities. my car is leaking something. but tomorrow is May Day at school and I have SOOO many things to do not including my mother. like getting my nails and toes done, then going to see a movie with danielle at 9. PLUS on thursday we are doing something fun as a class then spending the night at johannas house.... I even bought a sleeping bag.... but now I'm going to have to have my mom take me to all this stuff, which really sucks. and my parents are acting like it's no big deal but it really is. it's my last week at my school and I don't want to be driven around by my parents. so in general, i'm pissed. and my plans for this weekend include more than sitting at home stuck with my parents.. where is the fun in that?!
