howdy yaw! One day surrounded by middle school girls in t-ville and I'm already talkin' like 'em. it is so bad!!! haha. well, i went to guard camp today to teach a mostly middle school guard. i think 4 of the girls are in high school and the rest are mainly seventh graders. i even have a sixth grader. what in the world? they will have me teaching two-year olds how to twirl a flag before too long...I mean, Sydney Drew is one talented 2-year-old, but i don't think "double-time" would mean much to her. anyway, my first day of camp wasn't very productive. i was really tired having gotten in at 2 this morrning, and i had nothing prepared. but there really wasn't anything for me to prepare since i diddn't have a show tape. and i still don't have a show tape so i doubt tomorrow will be much better. however, as long as i take out the good 30 minute relaxing on the gym floor looking at magazine time I'll be doing better tomorrow. Charlotte wants me to make them graceful tomorrow. i'm sorry, even if i did work magic, it would be impossible to make these girls graceful in one day. it takes years for some people.... i better come up with some kind of dance routine so i don't get the authorities fussin' at me. and surprisingly they may be paying me 200 dollars tomorrow for my two days of work. i couldn't believe it when she said this. she says it makes up for some time she didn't pay me for last year. hey, i wouldn't have remembered that, but i'm glad she did. at first, i felt bad about saying 200 would be good b/c i don't think i deserve it, but then again, i deserved a hell of lot more than i was paid last year!
so, what really brings me to blogging tonight. well, it is better than doing math stuff for next week. yeah, i know, i'm very bad. i go off to georgetown on sunday and i am not even half-way through the packet of material dr. harris gave me to do. dear goodness. and he hasn't emailed me with any information about the weeks either. and i'm not concerned. ha! the thing that concerns me the most is staying in knight hall for two weeks. isn't that awful. but, really, no air in the middle of june. i am so spoilt!
anyway....on a more serious note, one of my high school friends was in a bad car accident last week. while flipping her car, the total impact of the car landed on her hand. she was flown straight to vandy where she is still in a coma. with a fractured skull and ribs, internal bleeding and other injuries, she is expected to make it. she is now making non-verbal responses, which is the only sign of improvement. well, this girl is jessica buckingham. i've talked about her at at school. while we weren't always the best of friends, we were in guard together for five years. if nothing else, we have that somewhat family-like connection that guard brought. she got on my nerves a lot with her fibs, but she was a sweet girl who was generally sweet to me. she and i went through a lot together and i really hope she makes it through this. i can't imagine what her family is going through and especially kristi, her sister. this has made me slow down a bit on hwy 63 and a little more thankful for my life. amazing what things can happen and how it effects others.
ranjana and i were going to go visit on thursday, but they are asking for no non-family visitors right now. please keep her in your prayers.
now....with a bit more of a smile....i told david pike that i am not kissing him anymore. he took this pretty well, however, i don't know if he thinks i'm really going to keep to this promise. i haven't been tested yet, so we will see....but before i told him this, he took me out to eat at shogun, a japanese restuarant in BG. we had a good time and i think we really are moving closer to that "just being friends" thing, really. i'd like to be, like david vance said, "the only ones who actually pulled the 'friends after a break-up' thing off." i'll try to keep you updated on this.
also, david high... we talk, we have stare-down contests, we have those evil joking looks, and we enjoy ourselves pretty much like old times....or atleast i think we do. it is so weird lately, but in a good way. i don't feel weird about messaging him and being around him. i'm still working on the calling and hanging out one-on-one thing. i think it will come when ready. i really can't hold a grudge. as much as i sometimes wanted to, with him and david pike, i can't. its like after awhile, i forget all the negative things that pissed me off at one time, smile, and keep going. i guess i like that pretty well though.
and just in case you read this david high, i've missed you and i've really enjoyed your company lately.
well, my dad is going to work now. i think i'll take a shower and go to bed. leave the studying for thursday.
goodnight! love you all
