"Home, Let me come home
Home is whenever I'm with you
Home, yes I am home
Home is wherever I'm with you"
-"Home" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I don't know why, but screenplay writing makes me hungry.
Good think I'm not planning on being a screenwriter, eh?

So Mom's surgery was today. It went well, and she's staying the night at the hospital.
Everyone is making their way there to keep her company.
Except me, because I've got homework.
I spent my open periods at the hospital though.
Keeping Dad company and waiting to hear about the surgery.
Now it's just a matter of time before we know if it works or not.

Prom's this weekend. I'm really excited to go with Jake. superfreakinawesome.
Senior prom, last one I'll ever go to. Better make it good!

Right now I really should be writing so I can go to bed at a decent hour.
You know how much I love sleeping.
But I figured that it'd been a while since I blogged, so it was worth the time.
Cookie's keeping me company. I think my tea's ready.
Rock on.

I'm ridiculously excited for college. I don't know where I'm going to start, regarding classes. I want to really focus on psychology, German, and music.
Professor Richardson, the German prof at Linfield, emailed me yesterday, with information about the various extracurricular activities related to the subject. There's a total-immersion German trip early next month, that I may be able to attend.
No English allowed, which will give me trouble because I'm only in German 1.
On the bright side, I know how to say "I don't know," "I don't understand," "I don't speak German," and "may I use the bathroom?"
(for you non-Deutsch people, it would be "ich weiss nicht," "ich verstehe nicht," "ich spreche keine Deutsch," and "darf ich aufs Klo?")

What I'm really excited for is the dorms.
Kelly and Jill, my hosts for the visitation night, informed me that every night in a dorm can be like a slumber party. Everybody on a floor knows everybody else, and you can get anything you might need from them, from advice to food.
It'll be a nice change from living here at home.
And thankfully, it'll be a short bike ride away from home too.
I want to see what it's like to live partially on my own.

Well, I really do need to finish this screenplay. So until later, peace out.

One and Only

To be despised, 
To be loved, 
To be dreamt of, 
To be sought, 
I'm the inside of "I don't care", 
Be my unholy, 
My one and my lonely.
- "One and Only" - Timbaland ft. Fall Out Boy

so I suppose it's high time I just talked about the simple stuff.

Senior year is drawing to a close. I'm going to miss it but I'm ready to move on.

I'm currently in the process of quitting smoking. It's tougher than I want it to be, but as a result I'm chewing gum as often as possible. Dunno why it works, but it does. (side note- 5 React and Zing are both delicious)

I meant to stay home today and clean, or put music on my iPod (my Classic crashed last week, so I'm back to the eight gig Touch. Space is so limited =\) but instead, I hopped on my bike and rode downtown to meet up with Becky, and ended up riding all over town.

I believe the route was home to third street, to Lafayette avenue, over to the high school, through the parking lot, to Evans, to Baker Creek Road, to Hill road, up the huge hill on 2nd, over to Mt. Mazama, to sweetmilks, through the greenway park, through discovery park, down Alexandria street, back to hill road, to peavine, back home.

For those of you who know Mac, you know how much biking that is.

It was tiring, but when I got home, I felt awesome.

Anyways, I really do have to clean and get ready for a three day week.

Peace.
