Audra, Yeah, a lot has been going on lately. I’ve seen you A LOT in the past two days (you might as well just move in for all the time you’re spending at my house…haha). Well you got to see where I pole-vault yesterday, so that’s kinda cool I guess. And then we both fell asleep at like 3 am…my mom should have taken a picture of us in the morning, that would be a really funny picture (but probably blackmail worthy…lol) I might go in withdrawl from not seeing you all the time after you turn your mini research paper in on Friday (just kidding…I’ll be seeing you ALL night Friday night…haha). Well I find it funny how my house has become like a research paper study group even though I don’t have one to do this week. You didn’t think it was odd at all having you and Wes sitting at my house working on your papers when I wasn’t even home? Haha…that was funny too. I got my Stanford application turned in 2 minutes before it was due on Monday, so that was lucky. I recommend to anyone reading this that you turn in all applications BEFORE the deadline cuz it gets really stressful at the last minute. Well at least that one is over. I only have one college application left, and then there are still different scholarship thingys that I have to write essays for (and I thought it would all end soon, and then I realized that I have a HUGE research paper next semester…ahhh…hectic). College is such a strange thought, and no one is sure yet of what they’re doing (well besides Sasha who ONLY applied to U of A). I guess I’m really not stressed out right now (even thought I think I am). I didn’t have any hw tonight (well at least that’s due tomorrow). That was good cuz I got a chance to work on some of this other stuff that’s piling up. Getting my room clean really made me feel a lot calmer (btw…thanks for helping me out with that). It’s strange how a messy room transfers to one’s outlook on life. I just need to get everything in order again I guess. Like you were saying, there is so much junk going on in my friend’s lives, but I seem to be doing okay right now. There are a few things that are completely confusing me, but when aren’t there? I’m concerned about Diego…I wish there was something I could do. I’m going to pole-vault again tomorrow (Thursday), so if you want to bring my laptop again and work there that would be cool (then I’d have someone to talk to in the car:) ). I’m glad I got to start pole-vaulting for the season again on Tuesday. I didn’t feel all that great though because of a lack of sleep (due to the previous night’s Stanford rush) and a lack of nutrition. I hope I feel better on Thursday. Everyone reading this: you all should try pole-vaulting sometime. It is extremely fun! (and the only legal way of getting high…haha). Well the elections were interesting. It was so close! My goodness, they should seriously re-count the ballots for a lot of the states. Oh well…there always seems to be some problem with the elections. It’s cool that you got to vote though:) Bowling is going to be a blast on Friday! It’s sad that Stephen can’t go, but I hope Diego still can. Ambassadors is one thing that is actually kinda stressing me out right now, but at least I don’t have to think about it all the time. Life is odd. I guess it never ceases to amaze me how unpredictable life actually is, and how quickly things can change. I guess I just have to be prepared to change with it. I think I’m learning how to deal with change better. Large changes used to scare me (like as of a month ago), but right now I’m in a state of “I guess I’ll be fine with whatever happens, so let’s just move to another country” (don’t worry, I’m not actually planning on moving all of a sudden). Well I guess I should end my night now while I’m on a descent note, so I’m going to go to bed now. Love and hugs~ Sarah :D (P.S. I still need to figure out what I’m going to do…so we need to talk about this again) (P.P.S. My Spanish grade is going up!!! Yay) (P.P.S. It's 1:15 in the morning...wow...let's do something fun this weekend...shopping!)
