amanda strikes again.
i have officially destroyed the career of yet another potential Top Model.
it happens every season.
i pick an absolute favorite model.
she makes it for a while.
and then...
suddenly, she is sent home.
...my job this season is done.
so i suppose we'll all have to wait until next season to found out whose dreams i'll ruin next.
sigh.

i'm done.
i was the bigger person for so long.
and all that happened was i got hurt over and over.
...and i'm done with it.
this is probably the most depressing realization that i've ever had.
but i don't even want to be around you anymore.

4. You are an amazing friend. Thanks for giving me a second chance.
5. I wish I would have hung out with you one last time before I left.
6. Follow your dreams. Please? Don't give up on what you've always wanted just because they want you to.

8. It's really sad to me that we may not see each other after this semester.

20 things i have learned...
so, i hardly feel like my few months of college experience has made me a sage of some sort...
but i do think that i've learned some things about the world, college, and myself...
1. busses = much faster than driving. nice when you have a 9:10 class and you slept in.
2. busses also generally mean that you're about to become very close (literally) to many people that you don't know. not always a pleasant experience.
3. group projects in college are infinitely better than the ones you do in high school. i promise.
4. television and/or facebook can be a very bad thing when you have a test in the morning.
5. always have at least one show that you watch religiously with whoever you live with. not only is it relaxing, it provides for some good bonding time.
6. cooking is wonderful. seriously...wonderful.
7. moms are wonderful human beings. not only can they be one of your best friends, they are also willing to spend an entire evening doing laundry for you because you're only home for one night.
8. dads are also pretty amazing people. they'll drive two and a half hours to fix your car, and not complain once. they'll even take you out to lunch! :-)
9. i do not want to be a geologist. ever.
10. magazines like seventeen make me feel old.
11. weekly dinners with friends are great. it's something you will look forward to all week.
12. long-distance relationships are hard, but oh-so-worth it.
13. walking to and from class can be a great form of exercise!
14. never underestimate the power of a nap.
15. to-do lists will keep you sane.
16. your standard for what is a "good" grade drops considerably once you reach college. and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
17. daily time with God is absolutely imperative to a good day.
18. watch out for school zones!!!!!!!
19. driving home on a school night for a concert (and driving back the next morning) is totally worth it.
20. no matter what sort of ideas you have in your head about "growing up" and moving off to college, it's totally different than you ever imagined.
with each new embrace
i have tied myself up,
more tightly,
into you.

ugggggggh.
okay. so.
want to hear some really fun news??
... my brakes are shot.
no. i'm not kidding.
i was driving home from class today (thank God i live near campus)
and i noticed a funny noise when i pressed on my brakes
and i noticed a strange grinding feeling when i pushed down.
seriously. so freaking scary. i thought i was going to die.
i thought my brakes were going to give out and i was just going to die and that would be it.
...thankfully, i made it back to my apartment
but now i DON'T HAVE A CAR.
uggggggghh.
i have to ride the bus to class tomorrow and thursday.
which is stressful, because i've never ridden the bus before and i'm not sure where on campus it picks up.
if i'm late to class, i'm going to be pissed.
so that was my day in a nutshell.
now my poor daddy has to drive up here to fix my brakes.
luckily he's amazing and he can do that.
what's even more amazing is that he's willing to.
i'm a lucky, lucky girl.
...except for the part where i'm super unlucky. because my car broke.
:-(

oh, food network.
so ... this weekend, i discovered a new addiction.
... food network.
okay, seriously...do you even understand how wonderful that channel is?
because i cannot stop watching it.
my favorites?
paula dean
rachael ray
guy fieri
...i actually don't really like emeril.
crazy, i know.
but i find him annoying.
and if he's on...
i'll usually just switch the channel to hgtv...

never say never...
alright.
so before i started college, i kept hearing people talk about changing their majors.
and i was so happy because i thought i'd neeeever want to change mine.
...again. never say never.
okay, so i didn't really drastically change my major, but i changed it.
i used to be in early childhood education.
now i'm in special education.
the benefits:
1) there is a possibility that once i actually enter the program, they'll completely fund my tuition.
2) i'll have all of my classes with the same group of 30 students, which means i'll be able to form some really good friendships.
3) i'll be able to teach regular ed. elementary school AND special ed.
4) this is something i've ALWAAAAYS wanted to do.
5) i don't have to take hist 266 (which i was enrolled in)
6) which means i got to drop a class.
7) which means i don't have any classes on friday.
8) and i'm done with class on wednesdays at 10:00.
9) oh. and i was supposed to have a test in that class tomorrow. ;-)
10) fewer science classes
11) fewer math classes
12) they're gonna freakin' pay for my tuition!!!
the drawbacks:
1) i kinda like my history prof.
2) ...my knowledge of texas' history won't be very in-depth. (insert sarcasm here.)
...pretty sure the pros outweigh the cons, no?
hope everyone else's day was as marvelous as mine was.

my boyfriend is pretty much the best. ever.
so corey surprised me today my coming up here for my birthday.
it was great.
he gave me the entire series of friends on dvd. i was pretty freakin' happy!
my daddy was supposed to come have lunch with me tomorrow (which would have been amazing), but it didn't really work out.
oh well. at least i know my family loves me enough to want to come. that's really all that matters to me, anways.
so basically, i'm thinking 5 things right now:
1 - i love my parents alot, and i love that i feel like we've gotten closer since i left.
2 - i love corey too. he's pretty great.
3 - nicole and i should never again make chocolate candies. we're really way too good at it.
4 - winston (our fish) is a pretty amazing fish. even if he is anorexic.
5 - geology still pretty much sucks. alot.

i miss blogging.
alright, so here we go.
i've decided to create a blog (again) because i dearly miss my old one.
first weekend up here in college station without really having any plans...
turned out rather interesting - nicole and i went on an adventure looking for vanilla (not white chocolate) baking bits. finally found 'em after the fourth store.
and now it's 10:00 at night and we're making dark chocolate/vanilla candies.
... just 'cause we feel like it.
tomorrow my aunt/uncle/cousin are all coming up here for a large birthday celebration (three of us have a birthday within the next 5 days.)
so that should be fun.
i miss everyone back home.
alot.
but it's (slowly) getting a little easier.
heaven is here
and tonight, we are the only ones who feel it.
