And It's over

Well, I seem to have survived my first semester at college. All limbs are still intact and my spleen didn't erupt, so I guess that's a good sign. Today was my last final and it wasn't that bad actually! Which was nice. And now I play the waiting game to go home and hold my Wonder-bread close to me (and make Christmas cookies cause his Mom really wants US to make them for her... not just Wonder-bread, but for some reason I have to be there too) (... His Mom scares me... Actually his entire family does, THEIR SO QUIET!! which is legitly the complete opposite of my family) I leave tomorrow at noon. which is NOT SOON ENOUGH!! lol oh well, I'll survive. Oh fun story!! So last night instead of studying Alex, ALL the Roberts guys (including fun hating Ryan and Indian kid Atule) and I, went and played in the snow! It was fun, but I've got a nasty cold so I wasn't in the best of moods. (Idk what it is about this place but it makes my stomach hurt and it gave me a wicked cold recently) (I'm allergic to it I've decided) But any who, since we lacked real sleds we went sledding on HIGH TECH AMAZINGLY AWESOME CARD BOARD BOXES!! (That a campus security guard told us where to find them XD he was the coolest security guard I've ever met) It was pretty fun cause one of the boxes you could fit 6 people on. they didn't go as far as real sleds would have but it was still fun. Than I came back here and tried to study. Then I slept.
So over break I really really have to buy another camera, and the same one I had is on sale at Target for 100 bucks. I seem to have like the worst luck with cameras ever. One) don't leave them places they might walk off two) don't put them in guys pockets. Third times a charm right X[ grrrr... Okay... it's nap time, before I go galavanting around town with some friends from choir. PEACE OUT PEOPLE!
ps the stupid guy with the vacume is back... So annoying.

Crazy Nap Dreams

First before I forget all of this I just woke up from a nap where I had the WEIRDEST DREAM EVER. It started off with my Mom and Grandma Peake coming to visit me... during dead week, and They were being SUPER FRICKEN LOUD. So i was trying to shut them up and at one point im pretty sure I smacked Mom upside the head. Then besides my normal sisters the for some reason had like 5 billion other little kids.... okay so it was more like 10 extra little kids, and they were running all over and were being super fricken loud, So i was freaking out, then they all got into the den and turned on the tv super fricken loud. And I ran in there and yelled at them that it was dead week and girls had huge important tests starting monday and they were all like. Oh... and I herded them all back to my room where my Grandmother was throwing a huge duffel bag in my room and my first though in the dream was "Fuck no are they staying here." And then (For some reason Lenstra and I went to the same school) and he walked by with laundry or something (He was talking to someone down the hall, I don't remember who they were though. I knew them though) So i was like "Hey guys was that lenstra?? I havnt seen him in forever!" They were all like "Yeah" Then for some reason I ran after him whisper shouting his name (Cause I was still super afriad of being loud and that Amy was going to write me up), there were a ton of people in the way, then he turned around and I like jumped at him to hug him, but then he like ballet lifted me above his head and carried me down the hall. And if that's not strange, he had either died his hair blond or shaved it all off (or some weird combination of both) but he still had a normal Lenstra hair goatee. ... ... ... and then I woke up. HOW WEIRD IS THAT XD hahaha Oh man... That was a weird dream.
In other news, I was taking a nap to make up for the fact I got up at 5:20 so I could be at work at 6. It wasn't pretty. Then I went to class right after I got off... so when I got done I took a nap, and just woke up now! lol *sigh* I have a lot of crap to do. Ugh... Kay that's all I got for now. OH WAIT NO IT'S NOT!! Okay so our normal custodian went back home for christmas (I think she's from China... I'm not sure but she doenst speak english well) any ways she's super nice and every body loves her. but now she's gone till January and we have this major creepy GUY cleaning our bathroom. He vacumes everyday which is just loud and annoying. And he's just.... creepy. But today before I went to sleep for nap time I went into the den to see if there were any snacks left form study break lastnight. And as I walked into the dark room and my eyes started adjusting I saw him sitting there. He was sitting in our den with all of the lights off. It was the creepiest moment of my life. He looked at me and kinda barked "Hey" (Like a greeting hey not like a 'hey' why are you on my property 'hey') I didn't say anything, I just turned and walked out and back to my room. I probably made a weird face because you can read my emotions or anything Im thinking across my face like a 2nd grade level picture book. Oh well... He is such a creeper. SUCH A CREEPER WTH. why would you sit in a den with the lights off. .__.
Kay now that's all I've got:) I should get some stuff done. PEACE OUT HOMMIES!!!

--Count down-- 8 1/2 days till I get to go home.

flurries

Small white spot,
Suspended in perfect balance,
It's cold out.
The wind whips up,
Leaves scatter in circular movements,
more white dots spin around,
up down this way that way,
all in perfectly conformed chaos.
They never seem to touch the ground.
One big ballet dance through the people.
But more white spots are catching in the grass,
along the sidewalk,
in the cracks, on the hustling black coats.
Suddenly November is gone, stolen,
by small white dots suspended in perfect balance.

~ Yeah It's wicked cold here, I am skipping glass this morning cause I have a head ache, the semesters almost done, I have to work tonight, and I just ate a scone. It was "snowing" yesterday, not much just a few flurries. But man was it cold and windy. It was some how really peaceful though. Idk. Snow is, in my oppinion, one of the calmest things in the world. I'm okay with it snowing now. However that will probably change about the end of January when I get sick of being cold 24-7 and it starts getting slushy and gray and nasty outside. But in the mean time it's officially december, which means it's officially Advent, which means I am going to miss home even more because Advent season is one of the best times of the year. I guess I'll catch the last week of Advent back home. Whoo... and that's about all I've got for today.

Pandora, my sweet lullaby

Well, I was cleaning and watching the travel channel. Then my roomie brought all of her friends back to our room, they changed the tv channel, and I don't like cleaning with other ppl here so I had to pause and take a breather. Annnnd so I'm listening to Pandora. Who ever invented that site was a freaking genius. Like seriously!! Lol best site ever. I did get some stuff done today. ANNND my aunt facebooked me telling me she got me a laptop case from Buit they have the cutest electronic cases EVER! lol I'm pretty excited :D On one hand this is the Aunt that is very critical of my mom and there are days that I just wish she would get off my Mom's back, but She also sends us wicked cool stuff. Half my clothes are hand me downs from her. Lol. Sigh... I am cool calm and collected. And exhausted. Last night we didn't get back till about 1 am. So I'm super tired but Thats okay because it was totally worth it. Though I have to say... It was really weird seeing Evan outside of the Dbq friend group... It was... strange. I didn't know his friends and I just found it kinda awkward to come in and be like "hey I'm Katie..." I guess I'm just not used to change at all, and apparently I don't cope well with it. lol I think It'll be fine over break cause I mean we'll be with our amazing dbq friends (I agree with Jessica's post on needing to get away from ISU people and spend some quality time with dbq people) One thing that really kinda bugged me.... He didn't laugh like he usually does. I know that sounds like a stupid thing but I didn't hear the EVAN laugh, the laugh that comes out when Jessica says something hilarious or I do something stupid like fall over or almost choke on something. (I shall never live that one down) It scared me. I felt like I was loosing him. I haven't felt that in the last month though! It's like I was fine this entire month and then I actually got there and saw him and hung out with his new friends and I felt out of place... I've NEVER had that before!! Evan and I are best friends!! We have been for 4 years! We did everything together!! And it seemed like everything was the same when we talked over the internet of on the phone. But in person... I... I'm not even sure how to explain it, but it scares me. I know I'm just ranting and that most of this doesn't make any sense at all. It would kill me if I lost him though. Sigh... okay that felt good to say. On the way home last night I didn't talk at all, which is weird cause when I get tired I talk non-stop. And my friend Alex who drove was trying to get me to tell him what was wrong. I couldn't just say, "Well Alex you wanna know what?? You guys do not even compare to my friends back home and I feel lonely and afraid." That's not usually something good to say to some one you met 4 months ago. But I'm going to go eat some fruit snacks and cuddle up in my bed and listen to more music for an hour till I have to go to Bio. After that I might text David (the one with luscious hair XD) and see what those guys are doing for supper. Or I still have a packet of Ramen here... Maybe I'll just eat that. Mmmm that actually sounds really good. Or I'll walk to the c-store and get some foods. College is a lot of change that I was not prepared for. Just gotta keep my chin up and keep on swimmin' other wise I might drown, cause the deep end is way over my head. §

Dear World....

That's not a legit title just so you all know. I'm sitting in Am In studies waiting for it to start. Literally I've got 50 mins left. Listening to Kanon Wakeshima. I love the cello parts in her songs. Which makes me miss playing cello. So I know I should like choir. I mean I really love to sing and stuff but I hate the atmosphere of it all. (My professor just told me that he was going for caffeine.... I need caffeine.)Any ways, I just really dislike the attitude and mindset of most of the girls. Some of them (I know I shouldn't clump them all together so I wont) But there is this one girl who just gets on my nerves ALL THE TIME. Grrrrrrrrrrr... She says some of the dumbest things. not that she's dumb she's actually quite intelligent school wise. But her perspective of the world is skewed. Or... gah nm I just sound like I'm complaining. New topic.
Winter Guard was amazing last night! I actually understood the routine and it was very fulfilling. :D And I have my first major bruise!! And my arms are dead and my back is so sore to the touch and I'm pretty sure I'd pass out if someone hugged me. BUUUT all this hurt means I'm finally getting around to getting back into shape!!! which is super exciting. Lol I sound like a masochistic freak. teehee. I'm not. I just love spinning flag and being in shape.
In yet more news, started my job on Sunday, It's yet to be determined if this job will be worth my time. It kinda seems like it's going to be stressful and that I wont get many hours. But you know what as long as I get paid at least some monies I'll deal. This weeks is so exciting too, Cause tonight is bible study, Tuesday is open mike night for Tyler (I really hope my group gets done with this presentation in time for me to watch him) Wednesday I get to go to Iowa City to see Evan (you can not possibly know how excited I am to see him again) Thursday is.... crap... there is something going on Thursday, I forgot what it is though. Friday I get done with classes at noon and my Mom is coming to pick me up!!!! the only catch is that I promised her that I'd drive the 3 hours home so she didn't have to drive for 6 hours in one day:D Super excited beyond belief! I miss my family a lot. And Hans promised me she would save me a piece of blueberry pie. Yum. Okay Well I've still got 30 mins... but I feel as though this random entry has gone on long enough. Peace out readers. Aka My liddle sister. and those other two ;) Can't wait to see you guys next week either!!!!
