Earthy Rotations

I can only tell you what I know:

I know that I loved once
And the world stopped spinning
And my head was in the clouds
And all was right in the universe

Dark nights spent under starry blankets
Secrets whispered to a journal I held in my arms
The world spun for us
Only so that we could dance upon it

I know that that love did die
A somber death march it walked across the planes of my heart
A tear a million was shed
And the world stopped spinning

Two hearts once one did break together
I final unity to separate
Memories locked away to protect
The world spun too fast to catch

I know I will love again
With my head held high shall cherish with every bit of soul
The other piece of myself
My world will spin again

And life will be wonderful
And everything will come up roses

Logicaling

I was stumbling the other day (really cool firefox application, try it out) and I came across a blank page that had nothing but the above words on it. It made me feel happy so I figured I would pass it on to all of you lovely people. YOU...yes, you; you are wonderful, know this without a doubt.

Okay so todays little spiel is going to be about how I really just want to figure out a study abroad where I can go to Africa and help small children and live happily ever after. Anyways, I finally figured out what I am going to do about my whole problem with school and internships and the such. You see for my residential college I have to do a pre-approved internship with a group that has ties to the field I want to go into. There are a couple of ways to go about this; the first would be to go abroad and tie my study abroad with my internship and work with an international group, the second would be to do my internship domestically and then do a study abroad somewhere else. The second of these two choices will be what I am going to be doing. Now that I have freed myself up just a bit when it comes to choices of internship (to work internationally you have to prove fluency in the native language you are trying to work in...spanish 102 is not going to cut it to say the least.) So that is that.

Lastly I will leave you with this. I am going to be fine, so are you. I have begun to realize that though by nature we are all meant to live out our lives with someone that it is within the alone time we have between someones that we can find the parts of ourselves that are most important. I don't think I have been utilizing my alone time well and I am going to try and correct that soon. What will be, will be; everyone is worth their piece of existence.

Thank you for reading,

Complications

Life is complicated. Every time I think I might be getting the hang of it for just a moment something else happens. I thought I had things worked out and then complication texts me today. I would love to say that it will all work out fine but I am not sure if it will. Oi, what am I talking about, i know it will all work out because that is just what life tends to do.

On another note I began writing down what I eat today. I thought I did pretty well and then I realized that most of what i put into my mouth is crap. Its not so much that I eat a lot its just I don't eat good things. I love myself but there is something wrong when someone is working out for 2.5 hours 5 days a week and who still doesn't lose any weight.

I know it was a boring post but I think that is going to be about it for tonight.

Boys, Tattoos and Best Friends

So I should be doing Economics homework...but instead I am thinking I will write to all of you wonderful people and send my thoughts out into the world.

Boys: I would really love to have a crush on one right about now. There is just no one here that I really feel any pull to. There was one guy but then he started smoking. I feel bad that that is a deal breaker but my voice has been with me longer than any man ever will and I am not willing to trade one for another. THERE IS NO ONE! And it's not like I am trying to be picky or anything either, I have almost gotten to the point where I am forcing myself to feel attracted to someone.
Tattoo: 7 more months and I can get mine and I can't wait. If I make Dean's list both semesters my Dad said he would pay for the tat. I am going to get a celtic tree of life on the upper left panel of my back. It is going to have an angel carved in the trunk and it will be in purples and blues and sorta twisted and mystical looking. It is going to be awesome...and painful...so...awesomely painful.
Best friends: Other than my roommate (who is also my best friend) my best friend is right now in england, and I miss her. Why do best friends or significant others have to move away? My cousin finally fell head over heels for a girl and today she moved to California. There is no justice in the world. He deserves to be with someone who makes him feel like this and she needs to just stay here.

Lastly, Sam and I's last fish died today. Sam immediately declared that she wasn't having children and I just thought about how thankful I am that my children won't live in fish bowls. Live life like today is your last day in the bowl of purple pebbles.

So I finally rowed in my first regatta over the weekend and I must say that it was quite the experience. I can also say that it was nothing what I thought my first race would be like. Starting off with the biggest difference: I rowed in a mens 8 boat (kind of like the one you see in the picture above.) We didn't have enough men to fill a second 8 boat so coach decided to fill in the spot with a girl and he picked me. Secondly it was not nearly as fast paced or crazy as I thought it would be. It was very centered and very in the zone type thing. I really like it and my boat ended up coming in 5th which isn't bad but we can do a lot better. All in all it was a positive experience and I am looking forward to our next one in a few weeks. Hopefully I will be rowing with my girls this time, but as long as I get to race I don't really care. Once spring rolls around I will get to race in these really attractive, really tight, uni's that are made of spandex...of I cannot wait...yeah.
Hope all is coming up roses!
