2005-01-05T20:20:35Z 2005-01-05T20:20:35Z wow, so an update...<br /><br />last time i wrote in here i was undergoing complete and utter academic hell. the end of semesters are impossible. i averaged 5 hours a day, everyday, in the library for 3 straight weeks. but it's over, thank god. it's been over. <br /><br />christmas at home was soo nice. i love coming home for the holidays. there is really nothing like it.in the first week i was home i FINALLY met kristen's boy toy, he's so sweet. i went ice skating, watched movies by the fire, went shopping, all that fun christmassy stuff you do with your friends & family to get ready. then it was christmas. <br /><br />the 23rd is quite possibly one of my favorite days of the year. it's almost better than christmas eve/ christmas day to me. it's me & kev's christmas. we always exchange before the big day because that way we can have the whole night to spend together. it was awesome. he picked me up & took me out to dinner at p.f. changs, which was incredible and then we came back to my house and exchanged gifts and cuddled to an extremely old & cheesy christmas movie. he gave me a very pretty sweater from express & shania twain's greatest hits cd. then, he handed me a stuffed mickey mouse (in a cute lil sweater & hat) with a note that said something like "please accept christmas mickey as a temporary substitute for your real gift. please make yourself available to attend "disney's on the record" at the academy of music on january 7th." omg i was so excited. i just LOVE getting tickets :) they are the greatest gift ever. and i am absolutely posititvely ecstatic about going to see this show! it has 64 disney songs in it!! what could be better!? omg i cannot wait at all. it's in 2 days :) and he really liked everything i got him, too. it's so hard to explain. our relationship. at school, everything falls apart but the minute i come home and cuddle w/ him on my basement couch, it's like everything is perfect, just like it was in high school. i can't believe we just celebrated our 4th christmas and new years together. wow. i never saw myself in this type of relationship but he just makes me so happy!!<br /><br />the week after christmas was equally as enjoyable as the week before.. i love seeing everyone here. and my roomie, sarah came to visit and ended up staying for new years. we rang in new years with a small get together of about, o, i'd say 70 or so, people up at kev's at west chester. it was so fun! i love kev's guy friends up there, they are awesome, and of course all of my friends from home. it really was a good time. <br /><br />unfortunately, though, this week SUCKS. court & kris are in punta cana, which, yeah, awesome for them, but i'm here without them. i haven't seen anyone this week except kev, and although the downtime is very much appreciated since i don't get any at school, it's been kind of lonely. i wish there was more to do around here. one awesome thing is my fam is going to disney world on saturday! i cannot wait. i see the disney show friday night and catch a flight to my favorite place in the world at 6am on saturday morning. this is my 4th year in a row that i'm going. i can't wait! my brothers haven't been there for 7 years though, kevin was 5 and matt was 3 so kevin kinda remembers and matt doesn't at all. hehe i just am so so so excited. i just can't wait till i (maybe) live there next year! <br /><br />hmm so what does 2005 hold for me? well, as mentioned, a trip to disney world, a spring break with 19 other people in a giant house in myrtle beach (yay!), a summer where i have to make a lot of money (not so fun), hopefully a break-out soccer season (haha riiiight), me & kevin's 4th anniversary (wow), my 20th birthday, possibly moving into a house up at school, hopefully getting accepted into the disney world college program... i guess it won't be too bad, huh? <br /><br />happy new year everyone :) <br /><br />-kc

As you sit in your lonely cubical in the library, doped up on starbucks & aderol, you think to yourself, am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life? The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage, I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you have checked your buddy list 800 times. Christmas break is just days away, and your prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold bud light after that last exam, because for most of us christmas will be spent in rehab...<br /><br /><br />gotta get through the next 2 days...<br /><br /><br />KM urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:53937 2004-11-29T20:15:00Z 2004-11-29T20:15:00Z i just want to whine! <br /><br />before the end of the semester (which is december 16, about 2 weeks and 3 days away) i have to: <br /><br />attend 2 out of class accounting activities<br />do an accounting group project (prolly about 6 pages typed)<br />do an accounting group presentation (20 min. long, dress up, the whole thing)<br />take a social psych exam (basically a final, on the 2nd half of the class)<br />do a social psych group project/20 min presentation (which we haven't started)<br />write a social psych paper (10-15 pages long)<br />write a psych stats paper (about 8 pages long)<br />take a psych stats final ("you should probably need no longer than 3 hours...") <br />do a bio final project (2 page paper and powerpoint presentation) <br />take a bio final<br />and lose 10 pounds<br /><br /><br /><br />hahahahahahaha i am KIDDING myself.<br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:53745 2004-11-16T22:01:31Z 2004-11-16T22:01:31Z Third Eye Blind- Slow Motion Wow, I haven't updated in here in forever. Forever? forever ever? forever ever? haha ok. So what have I been up to that I feel like posting for the whole world to read? Hmm... well, soccer is over. It kinda sucked ths year. Our season got cut short, 3 weeks shorter than last year. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the free time, but I mean, it kinda sucks to get knocked out so early. Or to be a part of the worst girls soccer team to go through your school in 5 years. Yeah, 4th in the conference doesn't sound so bad, but we're normally so good! O well, next year.. it really wasn't my year anyway. My stupid shin splints are just so bad. It sucks to have to wear braces/get your legs taped every day, take prescription medicine just to get through practice every day, and ice before and after activity always, let alone never being allowed to just "run". Ughhh it was at the point (with still a month left in the season) where just walking to class became really painful. Yuck. O well, enough soccer. It's over...<br /><br />AND GUESS WHAT!?! I am officially in the offseason untill next AUGUST! YESSSS, no lacrosse!! YAY! haha. which means scheduling late classes, road trips, no one telling me what to do, no curfew, thursday nights on the town, and SPRING BREAK. haha more details to come later... i am SO excited though. omg omg omg. can't wait. <br /><br />so life at the 'berg is going well. I like it here. don't love it, but it's starting to feel like my home. i don't know, these people still aren't the ones who i feel like i can truly identify with. well, largely at least. but i am slowly making those real good friends i've been looking for. sure, everyone has a lot of friends at school... but these are better than just friends. 1. Davis. chris davis is a senior soccer player here and last november we started having weekly disney movie nights. I don't remember why, but if someone wants to take their tuesday nights and devote them to watching animated classics with me, of COURSE i love them. this year we still have our movie nights almost every week, and hang out way more. i don't know, he used to seem like a tough kid to crack, but we've just become so close this year. i feel like i can tell this kid anything. normally here, when i get really upset to the point of breakdown (i.e. hysterical tears), i leave my room and either cry to myself or kristen on the phone. but like i feel like i found someone here who cares enough to listen to my dramas. which is reassuring. i've never really been this close (on a strictly friends basis) with a guy before... so it's really fun. 2. my roomie is awesome. i love her. i feel like i can talk to her most of the time, too. she's probably my closest girl friend here. she's just like me, slightly eccentric person in a normal person's body. haha how's that for a description?<br /><br />me & kev are good. i guess. don't ask. haha. <br /><br />thanksgiving is soon. i'm excited, kind of. i mean, VERY excited to be home, but not very excited for the 3 weeks that follow. 2 group projects with 30 minute presentations, an independent project and presentation, a 10-12 pg. paper, a regular exam, a 7 page paper, and 2 finals. none of which i have started yet. haha, PIECE OF CAKE. so far my grades are pretty decent, but with all that work still to come, who knows. so yeah, it's going to be a rocky end to the semester. but nothing in the whole wide world is better than being home with my friends and family and boyfriend for the holidays... mmm cookie baking, ravioli making, tree decorating, good food eating, give buying, wrapping, giving... these thoughts will help me through the next month, i hope :) <br /><br />anyway, i read people's journals, i just don't write much. so keep the good stories coming!<br /><br />&lt;3 kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:53333 2004-10-20T14:52:59Z 2004-10-20T14:52:59Z so my birthday was monday... i got amazing gifts and had an amazing time (my mom took me to see lion king on broadway w/ kris' fam!) but the funniest thing i recieved was this LOVELY email from my crazy friend across the pond. o kelly, i love you :)<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/kunoichi133/henry8.gif" align="left"><a href="http://bunnysnoog.cyborgcow.net/index.html"><br />I adopted a cute lil' birthday fetus<br />from Fetusmart!

I'll sleep in my bed at school tonight, and tomorrow night. But then Thursday after class, that's it! I'm outta here! Off to my real home...the one in B-town. Home to see my family (hehe, again, they just left here yesterday), but really..home to see my best freinds. I havent seen Courtney since August 17th (i think thats when it was) when I came to JMU, and Kristen since I visited her a few weeks back. Even if I wont get to see Kristen as much as I'd like it will be better than not seeing her at all. This year I have been so busy at JMU that I dont get to talk to my friends from home as much as I'd like, or as much as I thought I would. Maybe going home this weekend could change that. I hope so...<br /><br />But anyway...this is part of my procrastination, I have a microbiology exam in 8 hours and I'm beginning to realize more and more how much it sucks to be a science major. It's a good thing that i'm a huge dork and actually enjoy learning about the ins and outs of how things work, especially those health related. <br /><br />I just want to be working a night-shift in the ER right now. I want to be a college student, but one that doesnt have to cram like this 8 hours before a big exam. I want to be at JMU, but not do the work required to stay here. I want to live in Logan Hall, but spend my nights working in the emergency room. I want to be room mates with Kristen and Courtney. Is that too much to ask right now?<br /><br />But on a happier note, the rest of this semester is looking pretty darn good for me. Most weekends I have plans to either go somewhere or do something big at JMU, which is pretty exciting. I love the weekends here, they're awesome. But I'm also happy that I have a car and can go places too. This weekend; HOME! The 23rd: RICHMOND. THE 30-31: HOMECOMING AND HALLOWEEN. NOV 6TH: POSSIBLY PENN STATE NOV 19:MAYBE OAR AT VA BEACH, NOV 20TH: AMBASSADOR FORMAL IN DC ...then it's thanksgiving...finals...and winter break. This semester is FLYING by...waaaay too fast. <br /><br />Alright, back to this bacteria and antibiotics thing...<br />(thank God it'll be over in 9 hours)<br />KM urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:52982 2004-10-11T13:21:19Z 2004-10-11T13:21:19Z so i went home this weekend for the first time since aug. 22. it was such a good weekend. next week is technically my fall break but we have an away night game on saturday and practice monday so a lot of girls can't go home in between and we had off this weekend from games so this was a coach-instituted fall break. <br /><br />saturday i went to the sv girls soccer game... natalie was happy/excited to see me so my mission was complete. it's wierd seeing them play though... i guess when you graduate 14 seniors it doesn't feel or even closely resemble your team anymore, you know? weird. o well, she's amazing and i HAD to get home to see her @ least once this year, you know, while it's still FREE to watch her play. (yes, i'm VERY jealous of her incredible talent) so anyway, that was fun..<br /><br />then, i went to the hc game. it was alright. the people who i really wanted to see weren't there though :( it's like really not a sun valley game to me if kev's not there :/. and he wasn't. i mean i still sat w/ his parentals and watched his bro but it's just not the same. i dunno. but mad props to the kids who worked on the floats! they were really good :) i ended up going home w/ my 'rents before the game was even over bc i felt really sick and i got a nice good night's sleep in my own bed... which was incredible. <br /><br />did i mention i went home this weekend to be superfan? i woke up early saturday and went w/ my mom & bro to my other bro's 9am soccer game. fuuuuuun- but i mean i have to go to as many of their games bc they come to so many of mine. after the game i was home for 2 hours and then kev king came over and we headed up to west chester for kev's football game. it was a good time :) i love kevin king... i always have and probably always will... no one else has faith in the poor kid but i do and he's doing so well right now. anyways, kev didn't play but west chester won. and omg- the band @ that school is incredible! that made it worth it. but the game took FOREVVVVVER so i got home and was home for 10 min before i ran out again. it was the craziest day ever. <br /><br />i drove out to springfield and picked up my little cousins. we went out to dinner and then went to the muhlenberg/swarthmore guys socer game @ swat. unfortunately we lost :( again. the guys just aren't pulling through this year. but it was fun, some of my friends from school came down for the game and davis, my best guy friend ever, was pretty happy to see me so you know... and i love suprising people :) anyway, of COURSE that game went into double OT so i got out of there late, too. i took my lil cuz's home and drove right up to west chester again.<br /><br />that night was sooo fun. kev's guy friends are awesome. the girls @ wcu just kinda suck. no offense to anyone on here but everyone i've encountered is over-dressed, overly made-up, and esp. overly-bitchy. one of his friends (who was @ home this weekend) is kool to me. that's it. but it's ok, i love his friends, and esp. his roomies. they are awesome. it was a very fun, drunken evening. sun morning i woke up w/ kev next to me and 1 of his roomies walking around butt-naked and the other 2 in their boxer-briefs jumping on top of me & kev. haha... i dunno i just don't typically wake up that way, it was very funny. <br /><br />i basically spent sunday cleaning up some stuff, unpacking/repacking things i didn't need/needed at school, shopping, you know. my cousins came over for dinner and so did kev... man how much do i miss my mom's home cooking? spagetti & chicken parm :) YUM! next weekend, too, we're having wedding soup & lasagna. haha can't wait!!! <br /><br />anyways, overall it was a good weekend. saw lots of athletic events... missed a WHOLE lot of my best friends (who by the way will be home next weekend when i won't-- go figure. anything to make this suck even more) and it was just so good to be hOOOOOme. p.s- people @ college make fun of the way "we" (atown people) say home, phone, etc. get used to it. haha. <br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:52716 2004-09-11T04:23:33Z 2004-09-11T04:23:33Z dispatch- bang, bang so i told myself i was going to stay in and do homework & laundry tonight. i accomplished the laundry but as for the homework, i'm writing in here instead. i don't have an unbearable ammount though, which is good. (for those of you who think i'm a big loser, i have a soccer curfew, thank you very much!)<br /><br />so school is going good... i don't really hang out with as many people as i did freshman year, it just becomes too difficult! i actually have things to do this year besides go out and play madden with the boys every night... but i mean, things are still good :) i really like my room. it's small, way smaller than last year, but it's fun. i also really like my dorm. it's really hard to explain, but it's old and quaint. it's like a j shaped. 3 sides with a quad outside and another dorm lines the 4th side. in the middle there are a bunch of paths and grass and benches and trees... and my desk faces out the window on the first floor so i just watch everyone outside. i love it! my dorm is only 3 stories too, none of those skyscraper-type buildings :) i really do like this school. <br /><br />speaking of school, classes are going well. i recently "declared" my major, so now i have one. i'm a psychology major with a business minor. not sure what i want to do when i get out of here, but at least this way i'll have options. currently i'm taking financial accounting (scary!), psych stats (which is basically applied statistics), social psych (which i love), and a genetics class (which is suprisingly kool). it's kind of fun having 3 of 4 of my classes be major/minor requirements. too bad i still have tons of grad requirements to take. definitely a disadvantage of a liberal arts school. i still need another science, a philosophy, a diversity, a religion, some lit... ewww. <br /><br />so yeah, soccer is going well too :) i scored my second goal (i used to play defense, cut me a break!) last week! yay! my pic was even on the web page, that was exciting. and we are 2-0. hopefully we'll be as good as last year, but it sucks that we don't have our returning seniors back. i miss those girls so much :( i love my team. they really are my school family. <br /><br />speaking of- in other news, i have officially quit lacrosse. it's just too much. 2 sports in college... i don't even have the same desire to play like i used to... i feel like i'm growing out of sports, which is normal, i think. but my coach wasn't happy. not at all. o well, screw her for telling me this was the biggest mistake i could make. the thing that is bothering me, though, is that i feel like i distanced myself from the girls on my lax team. i never really felt like i fit in with them until i quit. it's just that they are all friends and i didn't fit in with them in that way, especially compared to my soccer team. but, they were my teammates and i did have a lot of good times wth them. o well, most of them have been supportive of my decision, but i hope i don't regret it later... i probably won't, but i will miss it all the same. <br /><br />so my brother started northley this week! crazy! i can't believe kevin is already in 6th grade. good thing matt still has to years left @ pennell! but kacie started sun valley, too... wow i feel really old. i read someone's journal (anna's maybe?) and it said that she was leaving her house to go to school and right to an away soccer game @ avon grove and then right to a football game and helping @ the dance. wow- i remember having the exact same day on the first friday of my senior year. me & jill went to my house to shower quickly in between (we missed the beginning of the fball game) but court brought us a 2 ft. hoagie for dinner and then we (being class officers) sponsered the dance afterwards. i'd be a fool to say i didn't miss those days... but i do like these days too.. but i do miss seeing my friends. a lot.<br /><br />i miss knowing everyone, and everyone's parents. and doing simple things like football games on friday nights, and peewee soccer, and seeing jill, and having courtney .4 miles away, and seeing kevin walk off the field, and driving around with kris to bon jovi, and throwing animal crackers at the cheerleaders, and hanging out in homeroom with mandi, kris, jill, kev & court, and singing on the back of the soccer bus. <br /><br />but i do love watching sex and the city on the soccer bus, and watching guys soccer games, and talking to my best friends from home in the middle of the night, and staying up till 2 am being wierd with my roomie, and having long talks with my guy friends, and eating dinner with my soccer girls every night, and looking out my window and seeing people my age playing their guitar or tossing a football or even the crazy ones playing soccer at 3am, and getting ridiculously excited to see my boyfriend to the point where i can't stop smiling for the whole time he's here, and being able to lay down without having someone tell me to do something...<br /><br />i feel like if there is one thing in life college has showed me it's that there really is always a trade-off. play a sport, get the glory, but you can hardly ever go out in season. stay up late just doing something stupid like painting your window, go to class & practice exhausted the next day. go to college, you leave your best friends only to make new ones and strengthen the relationships you left. i also think my relationship with my family has definitely improved since i've gone to school over the last year. i actually call them (a lot!) just to talk.<br /><br />ok so now that everyone is fully caught up on my life, i need to hit the hay. i have a tourney this weekend :) game tomorrow @ 5 followed by a guys game and kev & my fam are coming. should be a good night but i need to be well-rested! goodnight! <br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:52321 2004-08-30T04:06:06Z 2004-08-30T04:06:06Z well well well... i'm back @ the 'berg. been here for a week now... basically, soccer preseason was complete HELL. like WAY worse than last year. but it's over. thank god. it's so nice to see everyone again, and actually be happy about being here. not scared, or sad, or lonely. kind of like i fit in. i've seen so many people since i've been back. last night was a blast, too. i went out w/ all my soccer girls and of COURSE it was a soccer oriented night. what would a night out be without the guys team? it ended up being crazy but i definitely got to talk to a lot of people and catch up. and just have some good, quality fun. even the freshies were fun to hang with. i also got to spend a good chunk of the night with davis, one of my best friends here, so that was fun. i think this year will be a lot better than the last.<br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:51970 2004-08-19T19:19:43Z 2004-08-19T19:19:43Z ok, michael phelps. he's a good swimmer. HE IS NOT CUTE. ewwww. nice body, not a cute face. yes, athletic, i'd like him too, but HE IS NOOOOOOT good looking.<br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:51762 2004-08-18T05:28:55Z 2004-08-18T05:28:55Z so i got home an hour and a half ago with the thought that this was the perfect opportunity to catch up on the sleep i haven't been getting these past few nights. but after some putzing around, when i laid down to go to sleep i just started crying again. i got myself back up to try to occupy myself till i'm so tired i just fall asleep without thinking. kevin is gone. kristen is gone. this sucks. she was sleeping because she has to get up early tomorrow. he was sleeping too because he sleeps every spare moment because he is in the midst of football preseason. but it sucks. i just left courtney and she was prolly either with andy or asleep too... i feel so lonely. i don't think anyone can understand how painful it is to watch your best friend leave when you have no idea when the next time you'll see her will be. i'm a major slacker too. because i played 2 sports last year, and was sick, and we are 4+ hours apart, i never got to see her school. never got to meet her friends, never got to see her school. nothing. now, i have no shot of seeing her school until after soccer season. this is horrible. i have such a sinking lonely feeling inside. kristen has amazing friends down at jmu. what if somebody who is LUCKY enough to see her everyday, and actually be THERE for her when she needs it, what if they are better than me? then what will i do? well honestly, i don't want to talk about it because it wouldn't be good. i just... i don't know. my house is so quiet and it's so late & dark... and i have no one right now. i hate college. <br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:51596 2004-08-16T21:59:13Z 2004-08-16T21:59:13Z i dont really have much to write except that i'm leaving tomorrow and i have this sick feeling in my stomach. i mean, dont get me wrong, im excited to get back to jmu and all, very excited BUT in order to do that i have to do some of the hardest things ever...saying goodbye to the best people in my life. i thought that this was supposed to get easier each time you did it, but i think this time it may have even gotten worse. you spend 4 months spending so much time wiht people and just stopping by their houses bc they live 10 minutes away, and now i have to go 4.5 hours away and the most i can drop them is a letter or an IM or a phone call. i'm going to miss kristen and courtney. i'm going to miss endless pointless nights just laughing and talking. i'm going to miss so much, and the more i write the more upset i get. i'm jsut not ready for this. i DO have a lot to look forward to this year, and once i get to school i think i'll be excited and happy again. but until then i just am dreading tonight, when courtney/kristen leave my house. i cant keep myself together anymore, i'm gonna lose it, again. i just guess i thought saying goodbye couldnt get any harder, but yet again, it has. <br /><br /><br />KM urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:51319 2004-08-09T19:50:58Z 2004-08-09T19:50:58Z hey! i'm still here... i read these things all the time but i never am so inspired to update. but i will today. <br /><br />things have been alright. i went on vaca with my fam to nags head for a week, and that was a good time. the outer banks are nice, but i mean, i don't understand what all the fuss is about. i feel like some people rave about it there and i mean, it was kool, but it was just a beach and some restuarants, nothing too exciting. but nonetheless, we had a good vacation. then, last monday, my roomie made an unexpected visit. me & kris took her to ocnj for the day because she's from scranton area & never been to the jersey shore and never been to any beach for a day trip. that was a really good day and a nice visit with sarah. that wednesday i went back down the shore to sea isle again w/ kev's family again. it was also a good time. nat was down for a lil with kyle and that was fun, too. <br /><br />then, saturday night court had everyone over for a girls night. it was a whole lot of fun. we had some beverages, learned some interesting never before known facts about each other, had a bunch of laughs... it was a really good time. 3 of us crashed early though, 1 went home in the middle of the night, and me, kris & ang were left to make a 3am wawa run, which is always a good time. the thing i love most about my friends at home is i can go all summer without seeing some of them, like steph for instance, but when i did see her and sit and talk to her, it was like nothing had changed. i &lt;3 that. <br /><br />sunday, though, sucked. kev left for school. i dunno, i knew it was coming, but i thought, hey, he's at west chester, last year i saw him a few times after he went to school, we already lasted a year, this won't be too bad. and the night before i was talking crazy talk about breaking things off with him. but i guess it was just because i didn't want to face what was about to happen. when i walked into his house yesterday and all of his stuff was packed up, he only had to look at me for me to burst into tears. it was just solidified, you know? the summer with him is over. the local relationship is over, again. now we will once again begin the emotional hell that is a long-distance relationship. being apart is the most emotionally trying and grueling experience. at least this year it's not as much of a mystery how we will work through everything, so that gave me something to hold on to, but still. when he was leaving, it was exactly the same as last year. we were standing right next to his car and i was sobbing and he was holding me telling me it was going to be alright. i hope it is. you are all probably thinking that i'm retarded bc he's only at west chester. but i'm working every night this week and going to the beach for the weekend and he's at football camp so it's 2 practices a day. and next sunday (the 22nd) i leave for allentown, a week before school starts so that i can kick off my soccer season. then we are both in full season over an hour away. so yes, i'll probably see him next week but still, it's not as easy as you may think.<br /><br />another thing i'm dreading is when kristen leaves for school. like, how can she leave 5 days before me? who am i going to hang out with for those 5 days? who am i going to spend forever on the phone with? who doesn't even need to ask how i am to know that i need her to come over after work? like it makes me want to cry already. i mean, college is fun but i don't have any best friends there... and when she goes, she's gone. virginia isn't exactly around the corner. ahhh well at least i have 8 more days and a 3 day trip to the beach with her and courtney to enjoy before anything drastic happens. <br /><br />i'm almost done work at friday's though. YAY! :D i have tonight, tomorrow, wed, thurs, and mon, tues, wed before i'm done... CRAP! i need to go to work now, i'll write more later.<br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:51102 2004-07-18T18:40:41Z 2004-07-18T18:40:41Z so, as always it's been forever since i've updated.<br />my summer has been going pretty well, i'd say it's taken a turn for the better. i've done a lot of stuff, here's a bit of a reflection on it:<br />things i've done:<br />-dorney with my friends<br />-beach with my girls<br />-beach with my family<br />-boston with kris<br />-virginia to visit my jmu'ers<br />-beach a few more times with fam/friends<br />-4th of july beach<br />-inner harbor with steve<br /><br />i'm trying to think what else i've done, i'm sure theres more but i cant think of it right now. but, it has been good. a lot of things have been different, unexpectantly different. i guess that everyone is right when they say that summer after freshman year is weird. all my friends are working a lot, including me, an d we all have what seems to be opposite scheldules. so for like the first time ever in order to do stuff together we have to make plans several days in advance,e ven if it's just to hang out at someones house. that's kind abeen a bummer, but at least i still get to see most of them.<br /><br />it's also been weird bc there have been some people that i havent seen like at all. some people that i thought i'd see and hang out with this summer that i really have only seen once or twice. but honestly, i'm not very upset about it, becuase things will be how they'll be! and of course, i'm hanging out with people that i really have a good time with. sure i miss others, but it's all good.<br /><br />i'm really excited to go back to school, i go in exactly one month yesterday. i just have a lot of things to look forward to this year. living with a new room mate, some really cool suitemates. i feel like i have a pretty established group or groups of friends, and i'm happy that i have something to go back to. it really is crazy how you can meet and get to know people so quickly freshman year, i'm a pretty big fan of it.<br />i'm also looking forward to my new room, i'm living in a really pretty dorm that was completely gutted and redone last year/this summer. so i wil lbe the first person to live in the room that i have. i have a few ideas for how i want to set it up, but we'll see. one thing is that i'll definetely miss my old roomie, renee. we had some really fun times, and just got along bc we were both pretty weird and entertaining people. but i'm sure this year will be filled with it's own adventures<br /><br />another thing is that for the first time i'll actually have people from home at my school. dan brechbiel and kevin dupuis are going this year, so it'll be great to see a familiar face at home. i really think they'll like it a lot there!<br /><br />but anyway. i think that the rest of my summer will be pretty decent. a few more beach trips, maybe day trips, who knows? definetely some work, but it's not all that bad. i need the money, so it'll be worth it when ih av emy car at school this year and can go visit my friends at other schools. i'll definetely be making road trips to psu and muhlenberg, that's for sure :)<br /><br /><br />random question: what is your biggest fear?<br /><br />mine is lonliness. holla back with your answers. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:50931 2004-07-16T04:34:48Z 2004-07-16T04:34:48Z wow, for the first time in my life i actually like my job. CRAZY!<br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:50432 2004-07-13T16:54:49Z 2004-07-13T16:54:49Z So I guess my summer has gotten a little bit better. Work @ Fridays is actually fun sometimes :) I am really getting to like some of the people I work with so depending on who else is there, it can actually be a good time. That's good considering today will be day 5 in the 9 straight days I am working there. I dunno though, everyone makes me wanna be older there bc they all go out to bars & stuff together and I've been invited but I'm such the baby. Kinda sucks. <br /><br />Because of that, I've really started thinking about the spring of my junior year and how much it's going to suck. All of my friends @ school will be 21 and then I will come home for the summer and all of my friends here will also be 21. It SUCKS when you are the absolute youngest out of EVERYONE. I am dreading this 10 month span of my life like you can't even beleive. I mean, I'm not a big drinker so really, the fact that I can't go into a beer distributor or liquor store and buy alcohol is whatever. It's that I won't be able to go out with everyone. EVERYONE will go out for their 21st bdays and I won't be able to. So, I'm looking into alternative plans. 1, I'll prolly need a bunch of younger friends. So I will have to swing that starting this year when younger ones are available. But my 2nd alternative is one that I have thought/known about for forever but now I just need to make it happen. I want more then anything else to go to Disney World for 2nd semester junior year and do the college program down there. I have read SOOOOOO much on this and it's DEFINITELY what I want to do. But there are so many roadblocks that I won't go into now. So I'm hoping that works out...<br /><br />But whatever, my summer is getting better. Last Thursday I like actually went OUT for a night, like out of Aston. Haha. Me & Court went to the Y100 free Phantom Planet/Sugarcult concert @ Penns Landing. It was really fun. I mean, I knew like 4 songs MAYBE the whole time but it was still fun. Then we met up w/ Kev & Kris and went to the premeir of Anchorman (pays to have friends w/ connections). I thought it was hillarious. Like, don't waste your time on Dodgeball, really. But this one is a goody. Then we saw the Real World house. Had to, you know. <br /><br />Friday night I had a family function thinger to go to and then I slept over Kristen's. Saturday night I hung w/ the fam, played games & watched a movie. And Sunday night a bunch of people came over my house & we played some games. That was fun, too. Geeky but fun. :) Last night I also like went out went out. I got dressed for real I mean, lol. But me & Kev went to PF Changs & then rented a movie. And I know that sounds very routine but it was just an all-around awesome night. We stayed @ dinner forever, like just talking and laughing and it was great :) Can't really explain I suppose. <br /><br />Overall though, it's getting better :D. And I can't wait for va-kay next week. It's supposed to be so nice! Just a little update. Bye!<br /><br />-KC urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:50403 2004-06-29T19:17:36Z 2004-06-29T19:17:36Z 98% of teenagers do or have tried pot.

ummm no, didn't think so. <br /><br />so that was an awesome day, and then the following day i got my new bed, which i also love... but besides that i don't have much to be excited about. i haven't hung out with courtney in weeks. yeah, my best friend. i hardly see kristen and when i do we are doing nothing because we don't feel like putting out effort after we have both worked all day & night. let alone all my other "friends". i dunno, i'm beginning to question this summer business. i mean older people from school were like summer after freshman year SUCKS and i was determined it wouldn't but no one ever invites me to go out and when i come up with ideas for things to do they are always shot down.... sucks a lot. sucks that i wish i was with the friends i've had for 8 months up @ school then here where i've lived for the past 14 years. whatever. just wish someone sometime would call me up and be like, hey kristen, a bunch of us are doing this, wanna come? hahaha riiiiight. <br /><br />however, i guess i can't complain if i don't make the effort so i think me & albie are gonna try to get a bunch of our so-called "friends" together for a cookout. that could be fun, but i mean it really won't make the rest of the summer get better... i know. <br /><br />blah. is it august yet? @ least school work can be put off whereas this bullshit scheduled crap dominates your life.<br /><br />-kc<br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:49874 2004-06-17T05:49:08Z 2004-06-17T05:49:08Z so i haven't written in here in a long time besides those very dumb surveys. sorry bout them, by the way. <br /><br />wierd to think a year ago i graduated from sv. a year ago i was @ senior week. and a year ago i cried way more than i ever thought possible... and i suppose it wasn't for nothing, but if i would have known how things would turn out i may not have been so sad. i still have my boyfriend (3 years, holy moley), and i DEFINITELY still have my friends. sure, i have drifted from some of them, but i mean, i guess it's for the better. the ones i REALLY wanted are still by my side. the others i would love to have here but friendhip is a 2-way street, you know? i have a whole 'nother set of good friends now, too. and YES, i spent all year at muhlenberg missing my home town and all the fun and people that come along with it, but i actually do miss it kinda. i mean i love it here but i'm so excited for soccer season this year & living w/ my new roomie :D<br /><br />but anyways, enough reminiscing... this summer is going GREAT :D. in addition to working (blah), i've definitely been getting around a lot! i've already been down kristen's beach 2 times, to the jersey shore 1x and i'm going back this weekend, and to Mass. for a weekend to stay w/ kayla & see the sights in boston and also venture up to a new hampshire beach for an afternoon... it's been great. i'm also planning on a trip to d.c. for kev's bday bc he's like completly obsessed w/ it and he's never really been to the kool places. plus hopefully getting away for the 4th and then my family vaca. i'm also working on making a nice dinner happen (details later) and planning a potential trip to visit sarah/davis/bryan from school in a 2-day span... and yes, i AM working 2 jobs. but hey, i was DETERMINED that summer would be more about fun than work :P. <br /><br />oooo oooo oooo! exciting news! i have not gotten a new bed since i first got a "big girl bed" 15 years ago. until saturday! i picked it out and i can't WAIT for it to get here. yay! haha. i am so pumped.<br /><br />so yeah, i think that's about it for me. o- i'm pretty sure i'm ready to hang up my mouthgaurd & stick and retire from lacrosse for good. there are a million reasons why i am not gonna play next year but the main ones being that i need to focus on school, i won't really miss the team, and i need a job... but there are a lot more too. o well, time to move on i suppose. i will focus on soccer from here on out, as soon as my damn legs heal and i'm allowed to start running again. being confined to strictly elipticals and bikes REALLY sucks :( o well.<br /><br />that's all folks.<br /><br />-kc urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kristensrock:49261 2004-06-07T20:04:24Z 2004-06-07T20:04:24Z <a name="cutid1"></a><br />-Your gender: female<br />-Are you straight/gay/bi?: straight<br />-Are you single?: nope<br />-Your birth day: October 18<br />-Do you act your age?: not really<br />-Age you wish you were: hmm... i dunno. prolly 19 because then i'd be the same age as my friends and i would turn 21 at the same time as my friends<br />-Your height: 5'3 3/4"<br />-Color of your eyes: hazel<br />-Are you happy with it?: yep :)<br />-The color of your hair: dark brown<br />-Are you happy with it?: the color?

SURE, it's TERRIBLY boring, but it's flexible and it's money. i am sooo desperate for money right now.<br /><br />one thing that kinda sucks is that everyone is so busy w/ work that it's hard to just see each other. o well. we are still making time to go away & such. this friday for example, me & kris both work till 11 and then we are hopping in the car and driving down to rehoboth untill sunday morning because we both work sunday afternoon. it may not seem worth it but we have to capitalize on every non-work day we have since we are both working 2 jobs. i've done some fun things though so far this summer, even though it hasn't even been 2 weeks yet! dorney on the first day of summer, then a weekend @ the beach w/ kris & court. i saw shrek 2 on opening night and LOVED it :D. me court & mandi went for a real nice bike ride @ ridley creek state park and i have a feeling that will happen more often, maybe even today! i've been working out @ the gym, me & kev went to the jersey shore for our 3 year anniversary, hanging out w/ my girls, and yes, played a lot of tony hawk. i've even spent a few nights helping out w/ my bros' elementary school projects. <br /><br />i think this summer will be good, though :) i mean, in comparison to the last few years i may not get to go away as much but i think we'll make our own fun. me & kris just bought our plane tickets for our boston excursion. i simply cannot wait. one of my real good friends from school, kayla, lives up there and we are staying w/ her and exploring the city, both with her and on our own. we got real cheap tix, $77 round trip, and with the gas and time crunches we are under, we figured that was way easier than driving. i also hope to go away for the 4th in sea isle, as usual, but if i can't get off of work i will DEF be down either before or after the 4th. that would majorly suck though. we shall see. i'm also going away for a week w/ my family & my friend melissa's fam to the outer banks (nags head) so that should be fun. the house we are staying in is unbelievable and i'm always up for new destinations. so yeah, they are the scheduled vacas but i know i'll be making some trips to muhlenberg and hopefully a few others to visit some of my friends. we shall see :)<br /><br />o well, hope everyone else is enjoying their summer... or, you know, excited for theirs to begin. byeeeee<br /><br />-kc
