life!!!

wow. it's been over a month since i updated this thing, and i'm totally doing it while i should be studying for a genetics exam...oh well. such is life! so much has happened in the past 3 months, and it's, for the most part, been so amazing and life-changing. camp was so eye opening and i was really able to be confident in what i was doing and just be a counselor, not having to worry about if i was doing well or not. being a weekly director was awesome, especially in a leadership role where i could plan my own week. woo hoo! i met some amazing people, and some that i know i'll be in contact with forever. i do miss them a lot. i really learned a lot about my faith this summer as well, and i feel the closest to God than i've ever been. i was really able to get into the bible studies with the kids and had a ton of "god moments". it was sweet.

oh, and i'm in a relationship now too. not just any relationship, but a big kid one. yeahh...its so amazing, there just aren't any words for how i feel. :) this is totally the happiest i've been in a while. unfortunately, we are 1,000 miles away but that's not stopping anything. it's amazing.

i'm back at school now, and things are pretty much in full swing. i'm busy with skating, lacrosse, service learning, being a biology major, band, and just friends i suppose. those are important. i'm loving lacrosse, and am so glad i decided to pick it back up again. my classes are gonna be tough, especially organic chemistry and genetics, but i suppose that's life, and i will be learning a lot. at times, i've been feeling like i'm spreading myself a bit too thin but i function better when i'm busy. also, there's nothing i can drop. it all means a lot to me, especially skating. my teams are looking so strong right now, and i'm so proud of every single girl because they are working so hard!! yayy for southern magic.

well, back to studying.

life is good (AMAZING) :)

ya know what else is amazing? being in love.

heee. kat and dan.

summertime!

let's see. summer is officially rolling. i go to camp in a week, and couldn't be more excited. i brought ally up to camp a week ago and krissy and i just kinda chilled up there with dan and dee for a bit. it was sweet. then we went to the mall, and i came home with a new ear piercing in my cartilage. i'm quite a fan, if you care to know. i love it.

this last week has been kinda quiet. i've not been very social, just kinda hanging out here with my family doing bunches of skating stuff. i saw jersey boys, the show about frankie valli and the four seasons and it was AMAZING. holy crap, i think it tops every show i've seen. although it's tough to beat rent for me...but the singing and the music just didn't stop and their story is SO incredible. i'm so glad i had the chance to see it, and still with the original cast =].

i had an awful allergic reaction last night, and we're not sure to what. it was rather scary, because it started to affect my breathing and i thought i was going to go all anaphylactic shock on my family. scary stuff. not a fan. my face got all swollen too. i looked like a chipmunk. but it's all better now, thank goodness. my parents and i seem to think there may have been seafood mixed in with the dinner i ate last night. oh well.

that's about it. skating camp this weekend. i'm excited to learn!!!

life is good!

allykat reunited.

so ally is here. unfortunately, she leaves on monday to go to camp. i will be taking her there. we have had an awesome week, doing all sorts of touristy things. did nyc. saw rent :) i think that's the fourth time i've seen it. hooray! took her to the memorial day parade. celebrated my 20th birthday (YIKES, i feel old...). went down the shore! yayyy jersey shore. went to a nj jackals baseball game. and we've just been hanging out the rest of the time. i'm quite a fan of her.

aside from that, i chaperoned the 6th grade band trip to six flags yesterday, and the band director thought i was a sixth grader. i had him when i was in 7th grade. he was so confused. then he finally made the connection that me and my sister are related, and was like WOAH! you're old. and i was like yeahhh, i am indeed old. aside from that, it was a fun day. a bit hot, but i got to get some sun. the kiddies were low maintence, which is always a plus.

we watched movies today and retrieved krissy, dan, and dolores from the train station, cuz Dolores flew in from Slovenia. google that country if you don't know where it is.

it's an amazing website.

life is good!

excitement.

excitement is everywhere. i'm at krissy's house. dan should be arriving shortly. we made manatee cookies, and a giant kiwi (the bird) cookie because ALLY IS COMING. we are going into nyc to retrieve her soon, and needless to say, i'm stoked.

i found out some stuff last night about a close friend, and i'm not sure i like it. at all. she could get in big trouble for it. oh, it worries me, cuz she's like a little sister to me, and i worry about her. oh well.

yay for camp friends :-D

and my birthday is sunday. i'm gonna be 20. i'm getting old.

life is good :)

school's out for summer.

i'm home, and despite the awful pollen here in new jersey, it's fabulous. i always forget how much i love jersey until i get back. it makes me happy. it's just something about suburbia and being near nyc...i suppose. or it's just the place i grew up, and it has emotional attachment. okay, enough sappy stuff.

i hung out with friends, which is always awesome. i really do miss the JCHS friends. and rink friends. etc. ally comes on friday and me and some camp people are going to pick her up in NYC which is going to be amazingly awesome. or wicked. or some word that means sweet. my kid sister also turned 12 today, meaning that today that also happened, and i can't believe she is 12. i remember the day she was born. my grandma today reminded me that we got bagels on the way to the hospital. oh, grandmas.

what else...my birthday is sunday and i'm going to be 20. i don't really actually know how i feel about that. wait, yes i do. i feel old.

i miss a bunch of my friends. but i'm also excited about this summer. it's a very bittersweet moment. i miss one in particular who is gallavanting on the beach. silly boy. oh well. i'm making it. i have to clean my room soon. or else my mother might hurt me. and also cuz ally is staying...oh the cleaning woes. i have a feeling that will be happening late tonight. well. that's all.

life is good.

i'm all smiles

wow. so much has happened in the past few days, and i'm definitely a giggly little girl because of it.
well, first off i passed my senior moves in the field for skating, which means i'm at the highest level for that, and that thrills me. it makes me feel really accomplished, and now i'm much more focused and into passing my freestyle and dance tests. awesome, right? yep. well. that happened, and skating tryouts happened as well, and they went really well. i am going to have two teams next year, and that makes me really happy.

other exciting news, you may ask...well, there's kind of a boy in my life. and it makes me feel all giggly and girly. this all kind of started like 2 weeks ago, and it's been quite awesome. we talked last night and well, i go home friday so it's going to be hard to start anything. but we're going to hold off until the fall. 'til then, we are going to hang out. we didn't really establish what we are last night, but that's okay. i'm okay with this. i feel like a little middle school girl. haha.

finals are looming, and i feel like i really haven't learned anything.

oh well. life is good. no wait, life is GREAT.
