I'm so happy!!!!!!! I am at this very moment sitting in the Barbara Bush Science Center typing this new journal...YEAH....I'm at Columbia
College!!!!! and an even better thing is that orientation is over....yeah.....!!!!!! And I added even more explanation marks....Yeah Manda...I am officially amazing.. I love all my classes though I'm not happy about having to take speech over again but my teacher seems so much better than my last speech professor... I cannot think of a bad thing about Columbia College....oohhh....wait........I can think of one thing.....Ernie and his little friends.....Ernie would be the cockroach and we haven't seen any other ones....yet....however i do not think Ernie still lives because my roomie sprayed SOOOO MUCH Raid that anything other than human has got to be dead....anywho....my OL is amazing and my LA teachers are awesome....Dr. Laff is the COOOOLLLEEESTTT....He is not easy but he is awesome... I have not yet met anyone i haven't liked so I am extremely optimistic about the days to come...I probably will not be uploading anything soon because apparently our cannot stay on for more than an hour...IT is working on that as we speak...so hopefully the internet will be working my Wednesday....cross my fingers!!!!!

Time is running out....6 weeks and counting...

I just found out through the wonderful world of facebook that a particular dude has finally decided to get a girlfriend and it wasn't me...I should probably be upset..but i'm not...I guess its cause im not guessing anymore. It kinda sucks but i'm oddly happy...Over the last two weeks I have realized that he wasn't for me...I;m not that nerdy nor that straight-laced. Come to think about it I think he probably would have freaked if he ever knew that i want a tattoo and look really good dressed as a goth...he is really straightlaced....so it was probably for the best cause i need a guy who will love me for who i am and not be a workaholic...I mean he never stopped working...it was crazy. I hope him and his girl make it cause he is a really nice guy and they've been friends forever so one can only hope..anyway just had to spill my guts to ya'll...so oddly im in a really good mood..even though the wings lost...which sucked...but Detroit is still HOCKEYTOWN!!!!!!

amazing, fabolous, kinda weird....I can't seem to pick a word. I thought the night went really well, but I was seriously out of my element, which is wierd for me.
Well the enitre prom process for me started on Friday, I got my nails filled on Friday at around 12:30 and then went to the dress shop at about 6 that night. I was so afraid that something else would go wrong. Well when I first ordered the dress, I ordered it in red. They then promptly sold out of the red. Then the first time that they sent the dress it was sent in platinum. So then we had to reorder the dress in sage...so my dress did not get completely finished until the day before prom. Needless to say I was almost spastic. So after I had the dress in hand I felt so much better. I then went to my grandparents house to spend the night with my friend Christina. On Saturday...boy was I busy. Hair at 12:00, trying to dodge the rain and humidity, waiting until 2:30 to get ready 'cause my mom was late. Even with all that time I was still not ready when my date came to pick me up. Sadly to say, I was ready but I had to help the other two girls who were there get ready. Any girl knows you always need someone there to help "zip and squish". Anywho...cindy lou...So my date came took pictures, hopefully between my dad and my papa he isn't emotional scarred for the rest of his life. I think he liked the choclate muffin I got him...hehehehe..inside joke. He even got the good muffins from strossners...lord love in a blue and white box...ohhh back to what I was saying. So we were backing out of the driveway,Us, followed by Cat, followed by my Dad and cat backed into his car. yep she did....way to go!!! good thing was there was no damage and it was all good. but still great way to start prom ain't it. So we went to dinner (Kampi) yumm!!! I had sushi it was AWESOME. yeah so at kampi which is a Japanese make it in front of you type restaurant they set the grill on fire so the chief asked those of us with hairspray to back up...yep...my date was the only guy at that table to back up which was hilarious. So i'm afraid of fire right...so that was fun when my date got shrip and the chief set them on fire!!!!Yep and then plated them while they were still flaming. I think my date is a bit of a pyro so he was enjoying himself. After dinner we went to prom. Again Prom was amazing. The venue was wonderful and it quit raining, so we had a great time. I learned last night that I cannot dance with another guy!!!!It was horrible, thank GOD I never stepped on his feet...that would have been horrible. Overall I had a blast but it was a little awkard for me. I've never really been escorted to anything so it was kinda strange having guys coming up to me asking if they could dance with my date. Yep guys asking my guy to dance which is a whole nother story in its own.
Anybody who knows me realizes that I like the guy I went with, but I am pretty positive he doesn't like me like that. so that also made the night a little awkard because I didn't want to seem a little forward or anything, but it was great. We went on the senior walk and I think got like the second biggest appaulase in the room. Everybody at school thinks we need to just go ahead and get married and have five kids.
Anywho he was so sweet and he is so polite. We were leaving prom and he escorted me to the car as kind of a "last walk" as he called it. I really liked him. Originally the plan was to go to a movie afterward, but he had a curefew of 2:30 (i didn't have a curfew) and the movie started at 12:40. So we went back to my grandparents house and talked til 2:00. We left prom at 11:00 so you do the math.We talked with my grandparents for 3 hours. I don't know anyone else who would do that.
Overall I think I am more confused at the end of prom then I was going into it...but it will all be good...I think....sorry for the uber long journal this time.
