Tonight was: an oppertunity to learn something new, and interesting...

"He" said that "it" was not a good dance.  And that he had never been on a "date."  In hindsight, "she" realized that "she" made some good choices by not getting too attached.  "She" thought it was special; however, "he" saw it as something else.  Perhaps because "she" had too much hope, and "she" was far too naive, and young.

This weekend has been:  absolutely amazing, and very different than things have been lately.

Last night I got to see a lot of people that I had not seen lately.  It was amazing to just see all of them.  I love those people so much, and I would do anything for any of them.  It reminded me of the past, when things were so much more simple.  Furthermore, it was so good to see Devin and have him involved in yet another aspect of my life.

Today was a huge change for me.  I have not relaxed that much in a single day in ages.  It was so good to go to the parade, and just share the afternoon with amazing ladies.  Additionally, shopping was enjoyable (as always) and Mass was beautiful.  The party tonight was full of laughter, tears, thoughts, memories, joys, stresses, and fellowship.  I don't remember a better night in recent history.  Today was mostly different because of not being with Devin.  Lately, my time has been consumed with school, work, THE BRIDGE, Student Congress, and Forensics.  To have a day with none of those things and no Devin was a whole new experience for me.  Luckily, I survived.  Unfortunately, I did the unthinkable: I forgot what it is like to be "single."  Today helped me to recover from this disease, and I recovered my roots.  These are the people who have been there for me since square one, and it was appreciated to be reminded of such an idea so simple, but critical to keeping oneself grounded at all.

It was nice.  Thanks, JC.  I needed that.

Love you all, XOXO~Betsy

wow.  Things are so much different than they used to be.  The last post I made was on September 10.  So much has changed in my life since then, because that was long before I even started dating Devin.  That seems so long ago.

I am still sick of high school and all of the drama involved in my friendships.  I have a lot of really good friends, and I thank God for that.  However, in a spirit of human selfishness I still reflect on those that are not as good.  There is really nothing I can do, but I am just listing some thoughts that are a bit random.

Tonight was a really great night.  I got to see a great show with a bunch of really great actors.  Everyone did such a good job, and as always the murderer was a complete shock.  After that, it was nice to be with everyone at the park, and I really enjoyed the time we spent at home.  I love all of my girlfriends, and having Devin there made it all the better.  I had a blast!

Love you all (even though no one reads xanga anymore!!)

Just about one little thing has been occupying all of my time and efforts.  College.

I never realized that making a decision would be this much work.  You have to make phone calls, send e-mails, schedule visits, and fill out all those applications.

Wow.  This is ghetto.  Just think, I'll get to do this with Law School too!!

p.S. I heart you!!

Tonight I got thrown into a swimming pool for the second time in my high school years.  I hope my new shoes didn't get ruined!!

I also talked with a young man who is amazing.  I always knew that he is amazing, but I realized it for a second time tonight.

I want to find something that is beautiful, real, and concrete.  I've been looking so hard lately.  When I look into myself, however, I just find a girl who is not ready.  And a girl who is scared.

I love you.

Summer=crazy!

So I always planned this whole "summer" thing to be a total break from my normal happenings.  Why am I complaining?  After all, this morning my boss let me sleep in a little.  I wasn't actually awake until 8:30 today.  If I want a good career, I guess I'm going to have to work really hard.  I guess lawyers don't really know much about "summer vacation."

Today a 99 year old judge talked to us.  He asked us all why we want to be involved in the law.  I love how the law protects us as individuals and as a country.  Over time, I am starting to realize it all.  As the late Bill Woodard said, "I just love the law!"  After he grilled us, the judge told us to work hard and be true to ourselves.  I guess it just reminded me why I applied for the internship in the first place.  It's been one heck of a ride.  I can't wait to go to law school and begin to practice law.  I'm looking forward to it so much.  Just think, in eight years, I'll be a lawyer!

Tonight I went to a little pool party thing.  It was so nice to see all of the guys again.  I missed all of you so much!  Pretty sure Markus saved my sunglasses in the bottom of the pool, which makes him my hero, because they're some pretty hot sunglasses that look hott on Andy Rowe.  Two words: Mr. Keiser, Speedo.  You people are so weird!  I had a great night.  It's nice to take a break from the world and spend time with some old friends.  We all need that at some point in time, and tonight was a good time.  ~Yay, summer~
