Attack of the Clothes

Apparently Amy's closet has been chosen as the breeding grounds for all things clothes. Brands such as Ann Taylor, Sophe, and American Apparel have taken a liking to the small, dark space where Amy attempts too put much clothes into a too little place. The clothes typically raise their young among the old running shoes and lost socks; after many months they venture out into the dresser drawers. Although most clothes can identify some sort of origin (such as the red corduroy pants or the blue snow jacket), no one is quite sure how the cluster of ugly sweaters came to be, owing to the fact that the owner of the closet swears she would never touch such detestable things.

After looking at my clothes, my sister said that I had a "sorority girl's wardrobe." Not sure if that's good or bad...

Food

It will be weird to eat in a cafeteria instead of my kitchen -I usually eat my dinner sitting on the floor of my kitchen with my back against the fridge door, listening to the radio... I'm odd, but tables aren't my thing, haha.


Sometimes, after a run and stretching out, I just sit down against the cupboards and think for a while. Indian style or legs straight out, either goes well with me. The radio is often on, but not always. I just contemplate things. The kitchen is so serene (unless it's around dinner time, 7:30pm). I wonder if I'm the only person who does that: sit down, for no reason, kind of lose focus and just let my mind wander as it pleases. It's so very relaxing.

My Shelf

So if there was one thing in my room that told of who I am the best, it would probably be my shelf that is to the left of my door. I like how it is not finished -still wood, yet to be painted white, possibly never will be. It's such a mess; it has everything from novels to Bible concordances, with teddy bears (from a kid who liked me) and make up and my alarm clock all there too. The boxes are not any particular size because it was handmade, not bought in a store -my mom found it at a garage sale. Of course, my valentine collage, the statue of Olivia singing and the pics of friends brings it personalization also.

Deliberating

I got my room assignment from Asbury today. I was looking forward to it, but now that I have it I think I'm gonna be sick. I started to lose my excitement for going away about a week ago; now my "excitement" is quickly turning into "slightly dreading." My roomie's name is Leiza; she's from Illinois and that is all I know so far. I don't want to call her, calling her makes this whole thing get really close and really scary. College, up until recently, was this fun thing to dream about and plan for. Now I have to go, leave everything, and make a new identity/life. Eh.........

Late Night Texts

I sent a text out to Sara, Adam, and Mason last night that read: I'm getting so freaked out about college! I might not make any friends and then I'd be all alone, no family or friends to hug me.

Mason replied: Aw Amy, dont worry. You are beautiful, smart, funny, outgoing, and so much more! People are going to be drawn to you.

Sara replied: :text hugs!!!: girlie you made friends at status and you've only been there a few times. You'll be the floridian sunshine in kentucky <3.

Adam replied: Check your email.

Adam's email: You know what Amy; I promise you, you have nothing to worry about. You are a very smart girl, if you weren't they wouldn't have accepted you into their school. I'm sure you're going to love it, you took a lot of time choosing this school. And most of all; you are an absolutely amazing, totally gorgeous, and un-believably sweet young woman. I consider it an absolute pleasure to be your friend, and I am very lucky to be. I am absolutely sure that you will make some fantastic life long friends very quickly. Just promise me that once you're in University and all grown up you won't forget about the little highschool guys like me...that would make me very, very sad :P. Anyway, please don't worry about it too much. And if you ever need a friend to talk to, you know to reach me.
Love always,
Adam


Wow, I'm surrounded by such great friends. God has really provided for me. Even when I'm feeling down, I know that I can count on someone to be there supporting me.

Take the Costume Off

I can't believe I'm going away. Every once in a while it hits me that I will be on my own, no mom to care for me or cook for me, no dad to kiss me on the head at night. I mean, people might care, but no one will care like parents. It's kind of scary. I can't call mom and ask her to pick something up at the store for me -I'll be the one who has to go to the store. I hope my roommate and I get along. Though my roommate will probably help me match clothes, my mom really understands my problem of matching colors. Hmmm. Hot chocolate at night. Me running late and my mom making me a sandwich for lunch to help get me out the door.


I bought my sheets, quilt, and towels.

Don't Wait, Live

As I was putting Hamlet into the DVD player yesterday (I had to watch it for school), Alyssa called me and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner. After considering my options -comparing Hamlet the play to Hamlet the movie, or dinner with Alyssa-, I happily chose Alyssa. When I arrived at her house, she informed me that Stephen would be meeting us there... oh great, the guy from work that I'm interested in is coming to diner with us and I didn't even put on mascara. So we stopped at Albertsons on the way to Applebees and I bought some mascara (Covergirl Professional, of course).
Sadly, I later discovered that I wasted some good mascara on a stupid boy... It seems like I'm the only person who doesn't drink. Alyssa and Stephen got in a conversation about how Phil parties all the time (he's going to Rollins this year, so I guess I should have just assumed he parties) and how Kelly likes to eat Vodka doused watermelon.
It just always takes me aback a little when I hear that someone that I know gets drunk and does other "stupid stuff." And when Alyssa mentioned that she and her cousin got in a car with a drunk guy earlier that day (though they didn't know he was drunk until he started driving), Stephen said he had some experience with that too: he and his friends had "been drinking a little" and Stephen -drunk as well- drove everyone home. However, he drove home without his lights on, at night, because one of his friends told him to. Therefore, I wasted good mascara. He said that was in his only time drinking and driving... I guess I just thought he would be a "good kid". I'm beginning to wonder if there is such thing as a guy who is as... well, doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, and isn't making out with girls every Friday night.
I shouldn't wonder/worry about it though, 'cus God's got this one and He has it figured out where I am, where I am going, who I will meet, and when/if I find the guy for me. I shouldn't be so avidly looking for him anyway, God has His plan and will work it out in His timing. I just gotta trust Him. However, I wanna stop "waiting my life" for this dream guy that society has fed to me and I want to begin "living my life" for God and for the call that He has placed on my life. God can bring a man to partner with if He wants, but I won't let my wanting a guy get in the way of what God has created me to do: serve Him and follow Him with reckless abandonment.

AP Scores!!!

US History- 4
Macro Economics- 3
American Gov- 5
Comparative Gov-4
Eng Lang- 5


YAAAAAAAY!

I didn't even take a class for Comparative Gov, I just bought a book (read it) and watched the news! I actually got to the essays and had no idea what to write and just wrote about random thoughts that I had accrued over time about those countries. Hoorah!

AP Econ isn't too exciting -it's a 3- but I guess for not understanding a thing ever taught in that class and making an A on my transcript, a 3 isn't too bad. I mean, Asbury accepts a 3 on the exam for credit, so that's really all that matters, haha.
