The long trip
Hey, brothers and sisters. Have I got a story to tell you.

I went up to Knoxville yesterday to take some furniture to my sister. We packed every inch of the truck, except for the front seat, where me, my dad, and mom all sat. (So crowded!)

But it was nice. She lives in a house now with her two best friends (and this little dog named Greta). Her boyfriend Mike helped us with the furniture, then Lisa and dad went to get some lunch, so I sat with Mike in the living room and played Yahtzee. He's so cool.

He called me by my family nickname: Sus. I thought it was sweet. He was like, "Hey, Sus, wanna play Yahtzee or something?"

It was weird. I started thinking, "She could marry this guy and that'd be perfectly okay with me. I'd love having him as a brother-in-law."

We didn't get back until after 10PM, so I felt really tired getting up this morning. Ugh.

(Oh, and the AP test was okay. It was hard, and it took forever (like 5 hours?), but I think I did okay.) (Thanks for all the support!)

Another shortie.
Tomorrow is the big exam. I'm not too worried about it. The one I took yesterday for the state was so easy I almost fell asleep during it.

But tomorrow I have to take a 100 question multiple choice exam and three writing exams and then, I never have to think about American history again! At least until college. Or until It comes up when I'm bored and watching Jeopardy! at night.

I wish you all could see my outfit from yesterday. I was totally rocking it. YEAH! Someone tell me how to post pictures so I can show ya'll!

I'm going to try posting the big entries tomorrow.

Love, Susan

So sorry...
Well, the thing I'm using to transfer posts from my home computer to this one (I don't have the net at home) isn't working. So, the two long posts I have written for today are unavailable at the moment.

Technology sucks sometimes, huh?

Well, you know what? The reason I haven't had a lot of time to write on here is because I've been studying for two big exams for my AP US History course. I have one today for Metro and the BIG one on Friday for college board.

I have so many facts and names running through my head, I think I'll have to go into history rehab by the time this is all over. lol.

Please excuse my absence. And thank you for anticipating my posts. I love you.

Shortie
Open comment to pillows: I don't have social anxiety. I'm acutally quite comforatble with people I don't know (I'm usually the one starting the conversations). It's just a madhouse at Kroger's. There are little kids running around, people shouting at each other from across the building, and just crazy stuff. That's why it makes me nervous.

Anna and Nils are going home today. Sadness. I'm going to miss them a lot.

Mel is coming to my house tomorrow. I'm really excited about that.

And I don't have enough time for a lot. See you Monday.

   YAY!
I got Mona's letter yesterday in the mail. She's my pen pal in Germany. She sent me a very pretty letter in a matching envelope, pictures of herself and her boyfriend, and her room, as well as a 1 cent Euro (for good luck, she says). It's so cool. It made me very happy.

Kroger's, well, my Kroger's, has too many people running around and doing so many things. It just makes me so nervous.

I wish I could work at borders. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll try to work at Tower or something... I know a lot about music, so that'd be great to work at a music store.

The weird dream about FF
Last night I had a dream. It was kind of weird. I was in my Piano class and I looked up and there was Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdniand. It was so weird. I never have dreams about musical groups or anything. So, I asked him for his autograph and said I really like Franz Ferdinand (ever since the first album, I literally counted the days until the second album came out and bought it on release day). He smiled and signed this little paper I had. I said, "Alex Kapranos, the hot Franz." He said his name was pronounced "Hanperone." (That was a dead giveaway that it was a dream if I had any doubt.)

Then I hung out with this hot guy who said he was in the band, but was obviously not (or Scottish for that matter). His name was Stan, I think, but I just sat there and talked to him about playing precussion.

My mom wants me to work at Kroger's, but I can't. The store makes me too nervious, just shopping there.

And that, as they say, is that.

It failed
I didn't get the job. *sigh* I actually just called and asked if they were hiring and they said they didn't have any part-time jobs available. Crapolla on a stick.

But I'm still looking. I have until May 24 to find one, so I'm not doing so bad.

Thanks for having faith in me.

Hey ya'll
I’m calling to schedule an interview for my job this summer today. I’m working at this hospital, hopefully. At least it’s close to home and it’s a source of income.

I am so ready to get out of the house and into college I could cry. I just want to leave. Home life is getting so dull and annoying. I’m getting sick of it. When we went downtown last Thursday and I skipped out to wander around downtown, it was amazing. That’s what I like. I like independence. I like having to find my way around. I like getting lost and finding myself in the damnedest of places. I like stuff like that. Shopping in the Arcade and getting lunch in a lunch hour line was amazing

Alex, one of my best and oldest friends, and I are planning to live downtown when we get out of college. I told him we should go to the Gulch and live in some of those new apartments and lofts going up.

I’ll probably be married by then.

I also told Melanie that I was going to come to Taiwan in a couple of years and stay with her for a few weeks. She and Martha are my best friends right now. I’m going to cry hard when Melanie goes home.

I love being a junior. All of the freshman think I’m cool. Megan says I should be a comedian because, well, I just tell stories about my life and, I don’t really try hard, it just comes out funny, I guess. And James, this annoying freshman that just invited himself to our table at lunch, said, “Where did you hear that?” I gave him this shocked look and said, “Honey, I don’t run off a script. I’m making this up as I go.” Then he gave me this retarded laugh. Everyone thinks he likes me. I just think that’s a terrible idea.

My journal and this site are competing with each other. I’m trying to keep this ahead because of all of you who read it. So it won’t be crap.

You don’t want to read crap.

This is crap.

But my other notebook is all thoughts. It’s all my thoughts and personal stuff I want to remember. So, I guess it’s good to have them both.

I love Albert John Luthuli. (He was a Nobel Peace Prize winner from South Africa.) Look him up.

And, man, I love you guys so much. Reading your comments makes me so happy. *tear* Thanks.

Love, love, love,(is all you need), Susan
