i decided to get a blog on this site. why, because this is where everyone else has one. and no one ever reads mine, because to be honest i can hardly find it. I never read blogs. but this morning i started at 9am, and lost track of time and it was 11 when i finally stopped. Unfortunlly i dont believe my blog will be as insightful or good for that matter but i can give it a try.
today is thanksgiving. i hate thanksgiving. i am thankful for things but! i hate family get togethers. because i just sit there. and have my grandma give me yet another shape magazine. she is a hairdresser cosmotoligist or whatever you call it.. so she tries to be nice and help out.. but it feels more of like a to-do list. its happened my whole life though, so i tend to just not let it bother me. Um, she gave my mom and dad their christmas present the other day, and its to help pay off some of our house.. so i can go to college. it was really a huge suprise to me, i guess it just goes to show you some people have different ways of treating you. (btw i dont just love her because she is paying off some of our house)
speaking of college. its soon. so soon. no one in my grade wants to be a senior anymore. they all want to leave. they say "i cant stand waverly" well i used to always say that but the other day i sat down and thought about it.. i can hardly imagine myself anywhere else. i have grown up at River Valley.. i have been going there since maybe the 3rd grade. I have built some of the strongest relationships there. I have all of my best friends here, and my family. They will be in my life around me financially but, besides the every so often call here and there..they wont. I am a big ole' daddy's girl all the way. I tell my dad everything. And every afternoon when i come home from school he has lunch fixed..and so on.. its really a nice system we have worked out. I want to strengthen me and my moms relationship a bit before i leave. due to we hardly have one.
im a senior. and ive always been told to not focus so much on the future.. but then why is everyone making me focus so much lately.. any thought?

i'm glad you've joined our world :)
yes...welcome to the blogging world beautiful.
i just joined the blogging world too =) well i mean i had xanga....lol
i love waverly and my friends and family but at the same time we have to figure out where God is taking us. i guess that's why i think about the future so much.
Yeah, your blogging. I can remember wanting to get out of my house and get out of the town I grew up in and never go back. maybe I will send you an email with a bit of my story in it. Reading your blog brought back a lot of memories of high school, home and wanting to get out but being scared.
Jenny! I totally understand where you are coming from on the leaving town thing. I never really did. I was a commuter student. There are lots of great things to see and do out there in this big world. Now that I am a little older, hopefully a little wiser, and sort of grounded, I think there is alot to say for both lifestyles. I have found that my parents made a great decision about where I should grow up and I really want to give my kids that same opportunity to grow up in a similar situation. I do know that at the point in their life when my kids get to choose, I hope i have prepared them for both. That is the joy of growing up. YOU get to choose your path! My prayer is that you PRAY about the path you choose!
Welcome to the blogging world.
Hi, I have a blog now as well. Everything that I was going to say, has basically already been said. So, with that, I'm very excited to see how the rest of our senior year plays out. Maybe I'll eventually figure out what I should do with my life.
