its a new dawn, a new day, a new life for me;

and i'm feelin' good.


that song (the michael buble cover to be specific) perfectly illustrates how i feel right now. what a week it has been. Not only have i found it highly productive, but also full of suprises!!!

for once since this semester started i actually felt as though this week i could finally start to put things into perspective. Like, for the first few weeks of the new classes it was sort of challengin adjustin from pretty much no work to a copious amount each night, but now i feel as though i have a hold on things...which is nice.

sooo tonight i hung out with that special someone....we went to the mall where i met their friends (big step), and then headed over to a movie...somethin we've done quite a BIT! lol. It was just nice spendin my evenin with them. I feels good to love, and be loved. That feeling has been absent from my life in that way for so long..that its just comforting to have it back for however long...

soooo today, February 20th, 2009 shall go down into the history books! For it is the day that I got my first car! It came at quite a suprise. I pulled up in my driveway following my little outing and there it was! A black '99 4runner sports edition...so nice. i posted a picture of what it looks like..not my actual one though. I am so greatful and thankful for having such great family/support system. Without them...gosh idk how i'd survive. It was actually kind of sweet how they suprised me. They told me they were going to Raleigh for the day which is normal b/c my dad is always taking business trips to various parts of N.C, but in reality they headed to Greenville to pick up my car. Ahhhhh truly fantastic!

what a perfect ending to the most perfect day!

well i'm about to hit the hay....let all this amazingness soak in!
god bless. =D

L....is for the way you....

well...you know the rest.

so this week has been anything short of interesting...productive maybe but definetly not interesting. besides having test and quizzes and homework up to my neck....its been pretty good. the weather probably made the week. like for february its been absolutely amazing. the perfect consistency of wind and sun...ahhh truly delightful.

outdoor track starts next week! i'm so excited. i am so much more focused and motivated to do better this year. Last year i sort of felt defeated before even started. This year im comin in with a whole new perspective, a whole new attitude, a whole new me perhaps? my goal for this year...is to make it to regionals in the 300 m hurdles (im tryin to be realistic)....but yea i'm pretty confident i'll be able achieve this. just have to focus.

it 'tis the eve of Valentine's Day. probably not my favorite holiday, well actually i know its not (christmas will always hold that spot). I just feel like Valentine's Day is such a biased holiday. It's directed more towards those in a relationship. and yea i know you can spend it with family because that is probably the most strongest love of them all, but it is just not the same. Not having anyone to truly feel that Valentine's Day spirit with...well usually thats the case..anywho. This year i have to work till 10 on Valentines Day...so i had my little outing tonight. Me and a "friend" haha...ok well a little more than that..went out to eat, a movie, and then just hung out for an hour afterwards. It was the first Valentine's Day that i truly felt, felt like a Valentine's Day should...even though it wasn't really Valentine's Day...but close enough...ahhhh what a magical evening....not im gonna go eat this mickey d's...and get a good glass of sweet tea (gotta have it!)..

my advice to you: spend Valentine's Day with the one you truly love...or potentially could...trust me..you won't regret it. Happy Early Valentine's Day to All!

frrrr frrrrrr frridayyyy!

its about time...



oh jeezzz what a first two weeks its been. im pretty exhausted....it feels pretty irrelevant to write about what i did last weekend considerin its old news now but oh well....

sooo last friday i bought a pair of shoes! excitin i know right.....their mad fresh too....that picture doesn't serve them justice. i love them. like i usually am not one to buy a pair of chucks(aka..converses) but i saw em and it was yeppp gotta rock those...ohhhh and i ate at the cheesecake factory...very good very good.

and then saturday evening my youth group from church served dinner at the men's winter shelter. i was a little apprehensive and quite nervous at first..but once i got there it was all good. and im glad i went. this is an overnight shelter so i had the responsibility of checkin the men in and getting them taken care of when they first came in. besides drunk..they were pretty cool dudes. i found out most of them have jobs and such..they just don't have a home. it kind of made me realize not to take what i have for granted. an overall good experience...it feels good doin community service. i suggest anybody whos able to, get involved in someway...you'll benefit from it..trust me.

there was an unexpected snow day thissss week!!! besides the fact that now its goin to take a day away from spring break it was a nice little suprise. i just chilled all day watched a couple movies and kicked back. i was gonna go play some good ol' snow football but by the time i was gonna go the snow was all gone. =( hahaha

ok lets fast forward a few days to this weekend. what am i doing? good question
hmm theres a basketball game tonight i might go to that, i'll call some friends in a bit and get my plans together. it feels so good to be the weekend. thats pretty much what i live for now. tomorrow i have to give this oral presentation as part of this scholarship im tryin to win. wish me luck! i'll beast it, i know.

im quite hyper at the moment...gonna go grab some grub and get close with my ipod..=DDDDD.



heard this quote the other day...its preetty much how i'm going to live my life from now on..."today happened like it did, so tomorrow can happen like it should"...ive been so focused lately that things have been pretty stressful. sometimes you just gotta stop for a few and take a breather ya know?
