Summer is almost over and I'm in need of some new music.

No direction home.

Erin's Birthday!!

What a week/end. I had so much fun the last couple of days. Hung out with some great people made some new friends. Going to make a trip out to Lake Michigan friday. I have no plans for the holiday weekend, hopefully something comes up

What a charming man.

Today I am getting my hair cut. I'm in dire need of one, my hair grows so fast. Other than that I have no plans for the day. A walk may be in store. Iron and Wine, Sufjan Stevens, and Wilco will be accompanying me on that walk.

Lately I've been feeling very creative, but I've also been feeling anxious and nervous all the time. I painted today during that short time of listening to records, sipping on coffee and dabbing the paint around the canvas the nerves went away. Then right after the other feelings came back. Summer was fun for a week, now I'm sure it's going to be poopy again. I can't wait until my sister comes back from Spain. I have no one to hang out with. My roommate search is back on because I don't have friends that actually pull through from me. Oh how I want it to be fall. Or even better I want it to be next fall so I can be in a different city. Weekend...please turn around.

.I need a hair cut.

Spill.

This is actually one of the few good pictures that I have of just my mom and me.
This building will force one to listen to Wilco.
I was obsessed with this couple right when I saw them, so I had to snap a few of them.
I love this photo, if it weren't for the fellow on the right.
Oh, Chicago. Until next time.

Summer has been in full force this week. Today is the first night I will be sleeping in my apartment in a week. Let me rewind to last Friday... I went to my mothers house and in the morning my mum and grandma were on our way to Chicago to visit my uncle. Even though it was a short weekend trip, I rather enjoyed myself. We walked around for nine hours straight and I was pooped after that. Chicago is such a great city I almost felt like moving there. I still have to figure out which city I want to live in (New York, Boston, or Seattle) But on Sunday we started driving early around 9 in the a.m. I drove both there and back to Chicago. When we arrived at my mother house I went to the bathroom and then I was back on the road for a three and half hour drive up to Traverse City. I went up there to see my friend Brad. It was really nice to see him. On the another short trip I left there around four and got back to my mothers house around nine, the trip home seems to take longer I was exhausted. Then on Tuesday I did some more driving to Novi to my friend Heather's house. On Wednesday Heather and two of her friends and me drove on down to a fun filled day at Cedar Point. I haven't been there since eight grade but I road most of the rides including the dragster. After the it hit 9 o clock I was dead and ready to get out of the park. It's been a busy week. I defiantly don't want to drive anywhere for awhile.

Oh no! Oh my!

It's been a long while since I've been on here. A lot a lot has happened, mostly bad things sadly. Today I had to wake up early I stayed the night at my friends house and got a parking ticket this morning and it was 45 $ It was poopy. On the bright side I guess, when I went to the court house the meter I parked at had 40 minutes on it so I didn't have to pay for that. When I got home I took a shower. Then I slowly but surely did my homework. School has been such a drag this semester, being distracted and stressed out does not help. My grandparents came to town just to take me out for lunch. They really are amazing people I have so much respect for them. I love them so much, they do so much for my sisters and me. We ate and then when I got back to my apartment I fell right asleep that was around three and then I woke up around seven. Quite the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be 80 degrees. I'm looking forward to that. Well not that interesting but it will get better with time. I feel the summer will make me write more, it's going to be a long summer. I just don't have good feelings about this summer.

Day by day.

My weeks have become a roller coaster. One week amazing, the next falls rather short of amazing. I need to find a happy flat line.

When I relive the day.

Well to be honest, my birthday did not go as planned. I mean I did enjoy my self and the point of the party was met. I drank wine and a canvas got painted. I'm just going to leave it as it didn't go as planed. The weekend of my birthday felt like it would never end. Saturday, my parents came to visit me and my sisters and we did pottery. That was pretty enjoyable. Now it is ready Tuesday I was not ready for the week day to start and I was ready for the weekend to end. I wish there was something in that happened in between the two. My current location is SunShine Laundromat. My dirty clothes have been piling up for weeks, I got to the point where my pants were too big to wear. I always find my self to be quite inspired on laundry days; the days always are strange ones. I had to get up early so right off the bat my day doesn't go as planned. Then I had to go to a two and a half hour lecture in a planetarium only to realize that I didn't do the reading and you guessed it... a readings quiz! Then I went to my music culture class, that went ok I just feel helpless the semester. I wonder to myself how January can spiral downward so quickly. New Years went so well. I also forgot to say that me being a debbie downer lately I'm doing this little experiment were I see how many days I can go with out someone (family excluded) calling/texting me, so far two days strong. I find that super depressing, and yet I forgot to bring my phone to the laundromat and I feel so uncomfortable with out it. I'm sure no one is calling. And to be honest I feel that this little so called "experiment" is for one person in particular, but we will so how many days it goes on for. On that note I'm going to leave you with a song that I forgot about and it also makes me want to get out of Lansing. Well not only Lansing, but Michigan too.

Lose the feelings that are weighing me down

Recently I have been thinking a lot about what I want, and I have come to the conclusion that I only know what I don't want. I think it's sad that is the way most people think. We know what we don't want or don't like. Like when you are judging the opposite sex, I feel that most say what they don't want in a partner. I need to figure out what I want.

Friday is my birthday, and Thursday I'm having a painting party at my apartment. I always feel uneasy when I host a so called "party" I always feel like no one is having fun. Hopefully the wine will take care of that. I'm hoping that people actually show up. The one person I want to show up isn't coming, so that suck. When I talk like that I feel like I'm in high school. But none the less that's how I feel. The plan for the party is that I'm going to buy one or two large canvases and we are all going to drink wine and paint what ever it is that we feel. For my birthday my parents are coming out to visit me on Saturday. It should be a nice visit if my sisters get along. They haven't been getting along lately. It makes me sad too, because we all used to be super close. These days things just don't seem the way they used to be, or the way they should be. The good thing is that January is flying by and it's normally the worst month of the year. Bad things tend to happen, and my birthday never goes as planed.

I think I have started to make a Wednesday ritual, I'm going to wake up semi early (but still sleep in) and go to a coffee shop and work madly on my homework. If I don't do that I fear that this semester will really kick my butt! I'm excited for this semester to be done, it's going to be rough. If I want to get up early I'm going to have to get off the internet so, until next time.

Hola.

The new semester has started up again. I'm not sure how well, or how much I'm going to enjoy it. My classes are going to be a lot of work. On a good note I am looking forward to my music culture class. I'm eager to learn more about something I know so little about but love so much. As much as I don't think I'm going to enjoy this semester I am glad school started back up. I didn't do anything productive over break. I had the chance to hang out with people quite a bit, it was nice. I feel that I might get mixed up with wanting to be social this semester than wanting to do school work. What I really want to get out of this semester is make new friends. Ones that have similar interest and goals as me... I need to find them.
