It's pretty lame when it's Friday night and you are at home. So I didn't go to the football game, and I didn't hang out with Carly like I wanted to. She got into Hueytown late, and when she called me to ask if I would go to Walmart with her, I was asleep. How sad is that? It's been one of those weeks though. Like, really good things have happened, but then some minor things have caused me to take my focus off of all the good stuff.

My mom did not freak out when I told her I scratched my passenger mirror. She walked outside to look at it, came back in, and said, "Wow. That is not bad at all." She then proceeded to tell me to stop crying, because I was truly upset about the whole matter. I hadn't even had the car a week and I'm already messing it up? That isn't right. I'm going to take it to Honda sometime soon for them to detail it, and then ask if they have any touch up paint or SOMETHING they can do for it.

On another note, I broke my LG Chocolate in the last couple of days. Well, not the phone exactly, but the charger part of it. It must have fell off the shelf I keep it on while it was charging, and when it did, something broke inside. It wouldn't charge last night, so I assumed I had broken another charger. I went to Verizon today and bought 2 chargers so that I would be fully prepared now to charge my phone whenever. I get in the car, put the charger in my phone, and wait for it to cut on. Nothing. I try again, and if I push really hard, it would hard, but then stop once I let go. You had to have known I was panicking at that point. "What's wrong with my phone? What did I do?" is what was running through my head. I walk back in, and the guy behind the counter says, "Something wrong?". I proceed to tell him what happened, and he says they can replace it free of charge, because it is under warranty still. Sweet! So, at around 4pm I got another white chocolate. Without scratched or huge chunks taken out of it from dropping it over the past 9 months. Sad part is though, all my ringtones I have bought over the last months are gone. Those don't transfer. I've gotta buy all new ones. Oh well.

So that has been my week mostly. Sort of a high point, high point, high point, lull, lull, high point, etc.
I'm hoping this next week will be better.

Can the weekend some any sooner?

What a hectic week!
So, last Saturday I got a new car. My baby blue. It is so nice. I've already put one scratch on it though! I feel terrible. I didn't mean to. I was going down a really narrow road in Birmingham and it so happened to be near a stone wall. My passenger mirror now has a scratch on it, and I feel like crying. I wonder if Honda would just repaint it for me... hmm, I should get that checked out.

Anyway. Schol is school. Nothing exciting really. I wait til the last minute on everything. I have a math lab today that I was supposed to do Monday, but failed to go. What a procrastinator! It's sad really. Everything is due today for that class. So, I guess I will be staying up at good ole UAB for a couple of more hours today. Woohoo. NOT.

I'm ready for the weekend. Seriously. I get to see Carly, my best friend that now goes to Alabama, and has left me in Birmingham all by myself. We're going to a high school football game, our alma mater, Hueytown. That will be fun. I'm ready to just have some down time.

Tomorrow couldn't come sooner.
Bye for now.

Ok. The first "week" of school is over. I guess it was alright. Kind of stressful. Definately hot. I found all my classes with no problem, and have made quite a number of friends. All in all, college will be ok. It's like doing anything else, and I like the fact that I'm independent.

I'm not with Joel anymore, and I guess that is a good thing. He broke it off Wednesday night. Said it didn't feel as if it was in "God's plan". I completely understand, but it still kind of hurts. just a little. Then, yesterday morning, my car starts acting funny. Of course. it always happens this way. so, we found out it will cost $325 to fix it. My mom is paying for it, of course. I get my car back this afternoon. Praise the Lord.

I guess that's it for now. Everything is fine I guess. I just feel 'blah'. I need a break already. Weekend here I come. and sleep. Sleep is very good.

There's a first time for everything

So I have decided to make a blog. Big surprise. A few people around me have blogs, so why not me?

Things have been going really good lately. God has been good to me, and providing me with things I don't deserve. I've been able to further my education and will officially be a freshman at UAB in a number of days. It's exciting, but really nerve-racking at the same time. I feel as if only yesterday I was going to kindergarten. I can remember walking in and going to the daycare room to watch cartoons before the school day started. Man, those were the days. Now, I'm off to college to pursue my dream of becoming a choir teacher. Things do change.

I have friends and family that people only dream about. People I don't even deserve. There is a specific reason why these people are in my life. I may never know until I get to Heaven.

And last, but not least, is a sweet guy by the name of Joel. If only I had words to describe how he makes me feel. I've only known him for a short period of time, and yet I feel as if we've been together for a lifetime. Not only is he a good, christian guy, but he's funny, and smart. He loves his family and would do anything for them. I hope oneday he feels that way about me. I wasn't expecting this. Wasn't expecting him. It just kind of fell into our laps. But I'm happy it did. I smile constantly now, more so than ever. Not only because of Joel, but also because God's hand has been in this from the very start. Praise God for having complete control.

Well, that's life to this moment. Summer is about to end, and I haven't done much to say I had a great summer. Sure, it was fun at times, but not very productive. I did get closer to God, and switch gears in my life. Made new friends. Met a wonderful guy. So..maybe it was a great summer?
Only time will tell.
