Roadtrippin'

Hey ya'll!

I had a wonderful trip at DC where if I described  it here, it would take a couple of posts to describe the craziness of it all!

Beth and I went to Georgetown which is a expensive but beautiful place!

We did some exploring till we went to her friends house where we basically crashed.

Saturday, we went to Arlington where we tried to find Great Grandpa from my Mom's side but we think he was reburied somewhere else.

There was a beautiful change of the guard ceremony. They change the guard every half hour for the tomb of the unknown soldier; dedicated to the soldiers who were never found.

Then it was off to Union station where we did some shopping and I found a necklace and earrings for $10 but it would look something Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn would wear except it'd be ten times more expensive (lolz!)

Then off to Marcel's, a French Restaurant on PA Avenue where I was called "Mademoiselle" and I ate great food and dun dun, had WINE!

I won't be a wine and I was dying for soda the next day.

The concert was awesome with performances by Grieg whose work is actually referenced in pop culture.  "Morning Mood" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

First act of the National Symphony Orchestra was great but sadly, not so much in the second act.

I got yelled for taking pictures during intermission. Oy vey!

But I did get to see Jackie's replica jewelry!

Then Sunday, we went to church, saw Manassa Battlefield and got to go to Monticello. Beautiful place with great history.

Then we did a last minute to Luray Caverns where I got to see such amazing stuff (amazing rock stuff!)

Then we had a long trip home from VA to WV to MD to PA and guess what....?!

I woke up Monday morning where I found out my tire was low! It was the stem so thankfully, it was fixed with a cheap price.

I have worked Monday, Wednesday, tonight, work tomorrow, and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!

Sunday, I will go to Strausstown church and hiking...so excited!

I will also see Rachel Tuesday and Wednesday

Then the 7th, I move the poor chillens into their new places at school and the 9th, is school all over again!

These are all the happy posts.....I won't write any sad ones in this one!

Talk to you all later!

One Step At A Time.....5 days

hey!

It has been busy busy busy!!!!

Well, I went to CCM on Wednesday which was awesome!

However, things weren't so hot on Thursday (I believe, either Wednesday or Thursday)

I went to the library because I have doing that for almost everyday since first term. Guess who I see who told me not to talk to him in the library and talking to a girl, then leaving when I come in?!

Yup. Zach himself. We got into a big nasty fight about it. I did start it. Via Text. But he still does not see the irony.

Even though we are on decent terms, he was leaving as I was coming in.

It drives me crazy he does that!

Even my Dad and Nate thought that was low. When I told my Dad that Zach said it was someone he once dated, my Dad even thought that was dumb to add.

But it's over, next term he said he'll hardly be there anyway so I probably won't see him.

Then work has been crazy as well. My boss screwed up the schedule but thankfully, Mummy fixed it.

Avril is my roommate next term and two girls are moving upstairs. Em and Courtney are liking that it's not the last week.

I was hoping to do something with them but sadly, it doesn't look like that.

Also, I might need glasses. I could barely read the powerpoint for final tonight. I had to move to the front!

So excited for DC. No boys, no work, no school. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep!

Now that Final #1 is done and the paper is done, I only have the assignment and presentation tomorrow and two finals Thursday then I am done!

Please let it be Friday soon!

Awkward Encounters....

hi!

I had a wonderful time with Zach. We went to Starbucks where I had quiche, a caramel mocha, and walked around the store.

He's a total gentleman; he walked to my door, offered me his umbrella and opened the car door for me. He didn't pay but it's okay; it wasn't really date and I wasn't offended.

He's a great guy who is going for business and is joining the military after he graduates.

But things are kind of awkward:

Zach likes to get things done at the library and doesn't want any distractions so I needed to get a movie for my text & film and guess who is sitting next there? Yep, you guessed it.

So, I tried to be like a spy and I thought, he's pretty oblivious, listening to music, and working on his computer; guess what? Yep you guessed it!  He noticed it.

I honestly wanted to look for "Rear Window" and he happened to be there.

Though, tonight he is reading his poem at open mic night, so, I am going to again sneak in and out and leave after he reads his poem.

Hopefully, he won't notice me then.

I just expect a long friendship and I hope we become pen pals as he is serving the navy.

Also, I am in the living room of the townhouse and the girls basically ignored me the whole time.

But we'll part ways soon and we won't see each other again.

So, off to do some schoolwork then see him read his poem.

Ttyl!

Faith.

If you see this Nate....

hey Nate!

Welcome to my blog aka my virtual diary!

You recently told me you were going to look up my family and myself...so, I wonder if you will ever find this blog?!

I commanded you, but you claim I challenged you.

Honestly, I don't know if anything I say in the blog is interesting or not. Some posts have been really sad; some really happy; some, just "bleh."

Whatever I say in the blog, sometimes I say in the heat of moment, so I apologize if anything I say makes anyone upset, angry, or annoyed.


As for today; it was okay; I accidentally woke up later than usual, ate lunch with Mr. Nate, went to both classes, where I tried to talk to Zach, the guy who I wanted to cancel the thingy on Monday.

I tried to in contracts class but as I was giving him my number, Kristina walked in, so I didn't want to give anything away. I know, what you're thinking, lol.

So, in contracts, we looked over the lease, then, he left.

I went to my evidence class where we have to give a presentation on our evidence! (Nate, thank Josh for warning me, lol j/k!)

Finally, I saw Zach in the library but I was nervous because when I talked to him yesterday in the library, he freaked out on me.

First, I texted him when I was only a couple seats away in the computer labish area of the library.

Nothing.

When he went to print something out, he saw me. I stopped him....but sadly, I didn't have the right words to say.

So, we are still going on Monday, but I think that'll be it after that. That is fine with me.  At least, I will get some city driving in.

Nate, I have a "what else?" section, so here it is:

I got a novel from the library called "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet." A love story about how two people were separated because of internment camps for the Japanese during WWII.

Tell Josh that Dillon and I are arguing over Earl Warren because he supported them. Tell Josh that Dillon and I went to the same community college so that's why we know each other.

I also work tomorrow 2-9 and Sunday 12-8 so I probably won't be back on the blog till Monday.

Well, that's it Nate. I'm wondering if you will ever find this or anything about my family and myself.

Sorry for the many typos; I don't pay attention when I'm writing.

Okay, I have Nate and the rest of my readers have a wonderful weekend!

Only two more weeks then DC!

Bye!

-Faith.

P.S. to my readers, Josh is Nate's roommate; not my ex-boyfriend from many years ago Josh.

Almost...Gone.....

hey ya'll!

Well, it has been crazay, crazay, crazay!

With school, housing, dealing with moody roommates, work, and planning for DC, it has been mighty busy!

Can't wait for the next term to start new classes, can't wait to get rid of my roommates!

As you know, we have fought time to time, we have laughed, and done great stuff but for some strange reason, we are now fighting.

Well, Emily sends me angry texts about the trash. Honestly, I forgot to do it.

So, they now took the kitchen trash bag from me out of spite. Without even talking to me.

Also, I was kind of sort asked out. Well, I asked a guy from school to go swing dancing with me.

So, my intent today was going to the library, telling him not to do that.

Now, he's taking me out for coffee.

I wish I could explain what happened but I realize, I need to cancel. He's a wonderful Christian who I can talk to about Harry Potter and Gregorian Chants, but he also works full time and goes to school full time, and seemed exhausted when I talked to him.

I met him through my contracts class. He's a business fiance major but took the class to fill that time slot.

So, we slowly talked to each other. And we realized we had a lot in common.

Honestly, I am looking for a platonic friend who I can talk to about deep stuff. Dave and Nate are amazing but I love talking about deep stuff.

So, sadly, I think, for being wise, I will cancel or possibly do later when hopefully he gets a job with better hours.

For some strange reason, he wants to get to know me, but I don't think romantically.

Of course, I apologize a lot, and he told me not to.

It's going to be horrible but I think it's for the best if we wait.

But two more weeks till DC. Two more weeks till crabby roommates leave. About, a couple of more weeks till a crazy and new but exciting term.

Okay, goodnight! Wish me luck!

Faith.
