Hello old journal! I don't know if anyone still will read this thing (maybe it will show up on people's friend page?). So, I'm studying abroad in January!!!! I'm so excited. I'm going to Rome with Jamie (oh, so Jamie has now been my boyfriend for over a year--sorry for those of you who don't know!) We really didn't know if we wanted to study together; we've heard some horror stories of people going and then breaking up. But, basically, we felt it would be more detrimental to the relationship to try to do the long distance thing. I've seen people try to do it (like my old roommate) and it always hinders them from fully appreciating where they are. To put it poetically, I don't want half of my heart to be somewhere else. We know that it will probably put stresses on the relationship that we aren't totally prepared for, but we're just going to have to take it one step at a time. Honestly, I assume that the most ideal way to study abroad is while you're single. But, we're not single, so we had to decide what we thought would be best for us. Plus, we both really wanted to go to Rome...so, yeah, we're going together. Our adviser is actually pretty supportive; she studied abroad with her boyfriend, and said that it was an amazing growing experience together. I'm so excited. And really, I can't imagine NOT spending something as amazing as living in Rome for four months with Jamie.
Anyways, the reason that I was here visiting my old friend livejournal is because I'm making a new journal that will be for me and jamie to post in while we preparing to leave and while we're in Italy. Our user name is anne-jamie (easy to remember), so if you want to check it out, feel free!
I'm going to go check out my friends page, and see who all still updates on here! |

Hey everyone! Just letting you know-I made another journal. Nevermore34. Feel free to add it. I'm still keeping this one, the other journal is one that I'm giving to my family and family friends so they can just hear about college, etc. It will be pretty day to day stuff-just an update. I'll still have this one if I need to bitch or moan to you guys. :) |

| College! |

So, I'm here. I'm gone from McHenry. I feel good about it now that I'm here, but to be honest...the last few days were really really hard for me. It was weird. After months of being nothing but excited, I didn't want to leave. I'm going to miss everyone so much.
And Kyle, I thought you would be at the park on Monday...I was really disappointed that you weren't there. I was hoping to see you one last time. I'll give you a call sometime soon. Poo on you.
Laura kept making me cry...bitch (just kidding). Anyways, my dorm room rocks the house...it's so huge! I love it, and I love my school. I got all my books, and am super excited for classes to start on monday.
I'm listening to Ingram Hill! They rock so hard. I love this band.
Keep in touch! I love you guys. |

Ok, haven't been on in a while. So, the road trip got canceled. Why is part of me not surprised? Meh. I decided (after Kyle said he couldn't go) that we didn't really have a mode of transportation that made any sense. I mean, it seemed ridiculous to take the huge hippy van (with massive gas costs) when it was only Jayce and me. Nothing was going how I'd been planning for years. But, it's ok...everything worked out in a different way. We all went camping instead, and it was nice because lots of us were able to go. Bob, Harper, Mo, Myla, Laura, Jayce, and I all went to Rock Cut State Park for Friday, Sat. and Sunday. Then just the girls stayed an extra day (which was Sunday). That was a lot of fun...
I feel like I'm running out of time! I mean, yes, I'm super excited for college...but there are so many people that I want to spend time with-I don't know how to fit them all into my last week in McHenry. I'm going to see Kate tomorrow and Thursday...but I want to have one last movie night with her and Katie (can you Kate?)--I'm having a sleepover with Laura, Myla, and Mo on Saturday or Sunday...which will be the last time I see them. Whoa, weird...I won't see Laura. That just doesn't seem real yet. Bob-I'll see him the first week of school because he's coming to visit before classes start. But, I'm not sure about everyone else. Will I see Harper again before school? I don't know...and what about Kyle, Jayce...what about Bill? I guess I probably won't see him. Wow, that makes me really sad. I mean, I can't see them all. Gah. Guess I'm not going to Great America this summer...Bob and I kept saying we'd go...but now there really isn't time.
I'm so pissed at my job. I asked them if I could not work in August because of school, but they didn't hire anyone yet and now I'm working all this weekend. My last weekend here. I don't want to work it!!! That just takes away any possible time I had to see friends. Well, for those of you I don't see...I love you all. |

| Yesterday |
[Aug. 4th, 2004|12:04 pm] |
So, yesterday was interesting. I went to Illinois State Beach with a bunch of people from drama....Vicki, Jimmy, Shannon, KSP, Beth, and then some of Vicki's friends...Emily Fagerholm was supposed to go, but at the last second her mom called and said that she needed to come home. Anyways, it was tons of fun. We just hung out at the beach all day...but then, you guessed it!, we all got burned to hell. It sucked...mine didn't show up for hours, so I was so happy that I was just pink while everyone else was red. But then, at around 7:00 at night, BOOM!!! red as a cherry. Owww!!! We were all seeing I, Robot, and during the movie I could feel my back start to hurt more. I'm so stiff today....oh, but the best part...I got sun poisoning!!! So, at KSP's house (where we were all going to sleep) I threw up 5 times. Ew. I haven't thrown up in a long time-I forgot how horrible it was. So, I asked Bob to take me home. I was so pissed!! I really wanted to sleep there, but I felt horrible...I had the worst chills ever, kept throwing up, my stomach felt horrible...and then of course, the sun burn was an added annoyance. Well, I feel fine today, just burnt...but I'll take that over last night.
Sorry to gross you all out with my graphic story.
Kate-book out hotel? I'll probably just call you. |

There has been yet another revelation in the "Road trip fiasco." First of all, Kyle might go. I hope he does. Second of all, we are no longer going to San Diego. Jayce's mom says it's just too long of a drive for the Hippie-Van to make. However, while this sounds sucky (because, well, no more Pacific Ocean) the upside is much less driving, and much more hanging out. Now we are staying in Colorado at a campsite for three nights (two full days there) and at the Grand Canyon for two nights (one full day). I guess I'm ok with it-I'll just have to see the Pacific another time. |

I wish Bob didn't work so much. He's starting to get really depressed about it. I just talked to him and he just sounded so sad and drained. He's been working doubles almost everyday. Thank god we're leaving for camping tomorrow. He really needs the break. I hope his spirits get back up.
Yesterday was Kate's graduation party. It was fun-we played lots of pool. We all sucked, so it was good.
Serena is insane. |

Well, Harper and Mo can't come on the road trip. It's just me and Jayce. At first I was really bummed, but I'm starting to get excited again. We totally revamped the trip-now we are going to Colorado, Arizona, and California! We are going to stay on the ocean. I've never seen the Pacific. Gas will be cheaper because we are just taking a car instead of the huge hippie van (of course there's only two of us to pay...so it's about the same I guess). Food will be cheaper too.
I know I was just at the beach (the Atlantic) but I'm so excited to go again! And the Pacific...wow...I'm still excited for the Grand Canyon, etc...but I've known I was going there for a long time. I think it's going to be pretty awesome. Two bad the drives are going to suck!! |

North Carolina was awesome! So much fun. Reading, puzzles, movies, Ryan Gosling *sigh*, and sitting on the beach. Very nice.
I'm going to the American Idol concert on thursday with Kate! He he, that will be fun. |

Hm...update. I'm hanging out with Kyle tonight. I'm excited, because I haven't hung out with him in forever. Too bad he doesn't get off work until after 9.
I get to spend all day tomorrow with Bob! I'm so excited. I haven't seen him since my graduation party, and I don't remember the last time I hung out with him for more than 20 minutes. He's so cute.
I leave for North Carolina the day after tomorrow! I need to pack soon. It's going to be wonderful-laying on the beach, reading, getting massages...for a whole week! And the best part-no work! |
