Randomness of My Life....

Sorry it's been such a while. I've just been plain lazy and I'm rather ashamed of myself....but I promise that I will try to do better. ;) A lot of stuff's been going on this month so here are a few things....

*This weekend I spent the night at my dear friend Courtney's house, and when I woke up the next day I realized I was snowed in as it was blizzarding at a rather rapid rate. I have to admit that I was pretty happy about the fact that I got to stay a whole 'nother day, but I'm sure everyone in the house all went into shock and considered running out of the house as fast as they could upon discovering this...Haha just kidding ;) Anyways, I had a pretty darn awesome time, though one night was rather creepy.....It was about 12 at night and we were minding our own business trying to sleep, when all of a sudden the outside lights came on. Courtney said that the lights got triggered by movement, and I have to admit that this did not reassure me too much. For all I knew there could be some creeper out there ready to jump in the window and slash our throats. Anyways I was rather creeped out by this point, when suddenly I heard a loud cry that sounded like a child (or me when I am denied chocolate). By this time we were both seriously freaked out, so we slowly got up and went into the hallway. A rather strange sight met my eyes. There was a strange, yellow, freakishly large cat with his face pressed up against the glass staring in at Courtney's cat who was staring at it from the other side of the glass. Normally such a sight wouldn't have phased me (except making me laugh hysterically and which in turn might make me fall over cracking my skull) but seeing as how it was black night and I had axe murderers on my mind I was rather creeped out to say the least. After staring in shock at this sight for a few minutes, we went back to bed. I think we would have slept fine after that except for the fact that I complicated the situation by launching into a discussion about cats the size of humans. This in turn launched a whole series of shrieks and other unnerving incidents until suddenly it was 2 AM. Bringing up the giant cat thing was not my brightest moment, I'll admit it...But hey, at least I'm not a creeper like that wierdo cat....

*School has been stressful (to say the least). Also, I'm suddenly having to face the idea of looking at other colleges since the one I want to go to is really expensive. I can probably still go there if I get lots of scholarships (no pressure right?) but I'm looking at some others just in case....And yes one of them is a big public unversity (one of the best in the country though). I have to admit that looking at this one will be a rather big (and probably rather terrifying) adventure for me seeing as how I've always imagined myself at a small, private college. The first time my mom mentioned it I almost went into shock. This idea had never crossed my mind before. At first I was like, "No way! Are you kidding me????" Then I started to consider it. It is, after all, ranked #1 in psychology (which I'm very much interested in), has tons of activities and clubs and such, and is the home of the best basketball team in the world after all....Hmm.....So the bottom line is, after recovering from a state of shock, I decided to go visit it after all. Even if I don't go there, it'll be an experience at least (though a rather scary one I'll admit...). I'm going next month, so I'll let you know how it goes (if I survive to tell the tale).....haha just kidding ;)

*A few weeks ago I went to Gatlinburg with my youth group, and it was pretty awesome (but rather crazy) to say the least....But I'll give you the story on that one later ;)
