A Big Girl,

that I am. Or so I feel. But sometimes, people make me feel like a child, and I don't always appreciate it. Yes, I was raised to not do that. But yes, I am old enough to make my own decision. I am not totally incapable of protecting myself if need be, but I trusted that I would be safe. And I was. Totally and completely. Life is crazy, yes, but it is what you make it. And I don't want to live in the shadows for the rest of my life, I'm not that kind of girl, even though I was raised in a shell. Shoot, I'm gonna be living at college soon, in a little over a month, and I'm going to make choices, some wise, some not so wise, but that comes with the property I think. I always think about the choices, and what might happen, goodness, I worry like crazy. I was ridiculously nervous today, until I got there. And everything fell away. I had fun, felt like a big kid. But hey, you can't win every battle I guess.

Welcome,,

to the girls of Ruston Hall, Room 107. We're wild, crazy and all Christians. Two nursing majors, two occupational therapy majors. Four girls ready for their new life as college kids. =]

those lazy Sundays

I love it. The lazy Sunday afternoons after church or lunch, where you just sit around and relax. You have so many different options to do, talk with friends, sleep, watch movies, read a book, or all of the above. Just sitting around, not caring what the world thinks of you, or how you look towards other people. You can just sit back and relax. Who cares what the time is? Time is on your side on Sundays.

This past week wasn't totally horrible, I guess. The days were long, hot, and slow, but the week itself passed quickly. So maybe this week will go just as fast. I sure hope so. Then, I will be able to go to Evansville next Sunday and look around, which, it turns out, is my plan. We'll see how that turns out though.

A Day At Holiday World

Today was kind of difficult. Not only was it extremely hot outside, so much that ride operators were dropping like flies, but the guests seemed much more troubling then usual. It seemed like the entire day I was just thinking to myself, I hope that they'll just walk past this ride..Too bad they didn't. There was one highlight though. At the end of the day, I overheard a little boy tell his sister that when he went on Reindeer Games(which is like a miniture Liberty Launch) that it tickled his weiner. I cracked up. My best friend, basically my sister, was there today too, but I didn't get to see her..Her and her cousins stayed in Splashin' Safari all day.
And of course, it didn't start storming and raining until I got home. Luckily, Semy loves me and the male counterpart went to Wendy's and bought me food. (: Yum!
Well, I work open to close again tomorrow, so I'm going to get offline and go to bed like a good girl. More later. =]

A New Start

I decided today that I would start a blog. Some friends have told me that it gets their feelings out, a sort of, theraputic thing to do (thanks Haley!), so I have. I don't really know if I want tons of people to read it, sometimes I just think it would be cool to have a sort of online journal that wouldn't necessarily be silly and childish. So here we go.
I've been living with my oldest brother, Seth, and his wife, Amy, (together known as Semy by our family) for the summer and it's been a great experience. I've not only come to realize that friends and family surrounding you is what makes your life interesting, but I've also, in my mind at least, grown and matured in ways. I help clean and run errands, seems to me like I'm starting to slowly progress into adulthood. Slowly but surely, I guess that's how it could be said. The reason that I am living with them for the summer is because I got my first real job in the working world. A ride operator at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.
Jobs in the real world aren't always fair, and it's almost always their word against yours. I guess that I've grown up in that way some too. I've gotten past working for my dad, where I could ask off for whatever nights I wanted to, like if a friend called, I'd just tell him that I was leaving, and that John (my brother) could handle it. I can't do that now. I have to ask off at least three weeks in advanced, and then they may or may not give it to you. For now though, I can handle that, considering that I have turned my two weeks in as of yesterday and my last day will be August 3rd.
It's been fun not living at home, but some nights, like this past Sunday nights, it gets really lonely. I'm not necessarily lonely for people in general, that's covered by Semy, and they're great to hang around with. But there are days when I just want my parents. They've been such a huge part of my life, and not having them around all the time the summer before college may not have been such a great thing, but I guess at least I'll have a taste of what it's like not living with them..maybe it'll help with learning to live with my unknown roommates.
As for now, I'll stop "blogging" and help Amy clear the living room/dining room floor so that she can mop.
