Yay!!! school is almost done! I seriously can't wait. I'm starting to get really stressed out, and that leads to not fun times. I just need to be home and be around my friends and my family! I'm just really stuggling right now to keep praying to God, and just to trust him with everything, but in reality that is the only way to live! It's just frustrating at times how I pray and pray, and I feel like none of my prayers are answered. But I'm thankful for all my friends that are there for me, and keep telling me they will be answered but in God's time not my time.

sick again

2007-02-25T14:38:55Z

So,
I'm starting to really HATE my body. I am sick AGAIN. 2 days ago at night I felt really dizzy, and very light headed. Yesterday the same thing just a little bit worse, and I had a very very deep caugh. I took my temp. it was 101.4. So that would explain why my head felt so weird. Well I woke up this morning and just started crying, my lungs hurt sooo bad. I can't even explain it unless you have had pneumonia before like my Roomi..e. She would know! B/c I heart her. So I'm def not feel so well. I have a presentation to finish for tomorrow, and I'm leaving on Friday to go to Texas. So I'm thinking I might had to the doctor, b/c I'm thinking I have pneumonia. So we will see what happens!

Later dudes

So seriously I have had enough of my body. This has been a rough summer and it's starting to be a rough semester. First I ended up with pneumonia and that lasted for a good 3 weeks. Then a few weeks after that I found out I had freaking mono. I had that from end of July until now, I just was told I no long have it. And now to top it all off, my eye is swollen and hurts like a mother, and the doctor doens't know what it is. So yeah I have had enough.

But the good things that have happened. My parents came up this weekend! That was a lot of fun, we went hiking at Dead River Falls!!!!!

I miss my SOO friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song just spoke to me this morning.

Wake up to a sunny day, not a cloud up in the sky
Then it starts to rain, my defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around, so open and exposed
I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my trouble

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken

Little girl don't be so blue
I know what you're going through
Don't let it beat you up
Heaven knows that getting scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking
Yeah

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken

Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find its place

When you're broken, when you're broken

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken
Oh, when you're broken
When you're broken
When you're broken

Holy moly,
I have been slacking on updating this journal big time. I'm semi looking forward to going home, there are a few reasons why I'm not actually looking forward to it. I'm ready for a break though that's for sure, I had a HELL of a semester, and it wasn't all good. The only thing I'm really excited for is my job at HBH!!! I can't wait to start!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that job!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I can't wait to see all my friends and hang out with everybody!!!

OH I might be buying a new car!!! So that is very exciting!!!! Anyways yeah I really don't know what else to put right now.. other then the fact I had a good talk with one of my friends on Friday night.. umm yeah. And some of the things she told me holy moly actually sunk in. So that was a really good eye opener for me I guess. Now I just have to learn and try to fix the things I'm stuggling with.

Anyways I hope everybody will have an AWESOME summer!!!!

Since the kids were I volunteer at like me so much!!! I'm now helping teach a life skills group, and I'm still tutoring the kids to get their GED. So I'm there almost all day on Friday now! Yeah it's stressful, and sometimes, I wish I could stop, but then I look around at the teens, I'm helping make a diffence in their lives. When I get a hug, or a smile, wow that just makes me forget about me, yeah I'm mentally tired, but when I just see that, it makes everything ok. I know they need me, and I'm there for them no matter what.

I'm so excited!! I'm doing my 15 hours of volunteer work, at the Lutheran Social Services. It's a place for runaway teens the range from the ages 17-22! I will be helping tutor them for the GED, and just helping them out, just being a role model and somebody to talk to if needed! I'm so pumped up for this!!!!!

Last night was so much fun! Betsy and I went out to dinner!! And then we rented a movie and watched it! It was nice and relaxing, and we talked..lol or I talked. Then after I took her home, I called my cousins Tara and then Bridget. I miss them sooooooo much!! We are alwas together, and it's hard when all 3 of us go to different colleges. Sometimes I just need somebody to talk to, to let eveverthing out. And I know they are ALWAYS there for me no matter what. I never have to worry with them, if I'm bothering them, or if they are going to judge me. Nope why? b/c they love me for who I am!!!!!!!!

Tonight Sara and I are going to hang out, and just talk. So that should be nice!!! She is an amazing person!!!!!!

Yeah I was having a really hard time being back here. I just felt like everybody moved on and made clicks with their friends, and I was out on the loop. I know I have friends, I just got the feeling the don't want to hang out with me, unless I'm the one to ask them if they want to hang out. I called my dad and he said, if they dont' want to hang out with you, then the aren't worth it. He said you aren't there to worry about friends, you are there to get good grades. Then he said you are a great person Ann inside and out, it won't be hard for you to make new friends. Friends that will call you as well as you calling them. And I'm like yeah. I'm not going to waste my time anymore.

Well that is all I have to say right now!

Back at NMU

2005-08-30T12:26:10Z

Well I'm back and the first day of classes is over. Jody and I, I think did really well with the apt. it looks really cute! I got here on Friday afternoon and that whole day Jody and were doing stuff to get the apt. ready. Then Saturday we did the same thing. Then on Sunday we went to church which was fun, but I don't know if I will go back to that church. Then we went to lunch then we went out and layed in he Sun from 12 until 3. Then I went to the CCC picnic.... umm yeah. not so much fun. I just don't fit in with those people anymore. Anyways I was way excited to see some people but not all. This Wed. I'm going to go to His House... haha and Spikey might come. I told her if she went to a HH meeting I would go to a CCC meeting. So we will see what happens.

So far my classes sound fun, and I'm really pumped and excited for them!!!!! Yeah I think it's going to be a very hard year. But I got Jodes and Spikey and some other people, who will make it fun and I won't be so stressed out... haha at leat I hope so.

Yeah so I don't know about some people. I pretty much like everybody, when people are rude to me or whatever I don't want anything to do with them. Well I had a situation a while back. And now this person is talking to me, like nothing was ever wrong. And whatever I just don't know it's so freaking stupid. I don't put up with shit from people, I don't have time to be friends with somebody that is rude and does stupid shit. Ok that's enough rant.

Anyways I have 3 classes today, but they sound fun. So it shouldn't be to bad.

Laura, Liz, Jenny, Barry, Kristen, Amanda I miss you all sooooooo much.

Well.. well.. well. I had an awesome birthday!! I had Amanda, Jenny, Kristin, Amy and my brother's g/f over for dinner and that was a lot of fun! I ended up having 3 different cakes. My mom made 2 and Amanda brought one over. So everybody had a piece of each cake plus we all had ice cream. OMG we were sooooo full I thought I was going to explode... HAHA!! Afterwards we played some really umm.. lets just say funny games!! Then Kristin and Amy took me to the LSSU library b/c Barry wanted to see me b/c it was my birthday and he was doing his research paper. Yeah when we got there he only had 2 pages and he needed no less then 12 for the next day. So we helped him...lol. OH and I brought him some yummy lasagna and some cake... man I'm a nice friend!! haha. That was it for the birthday!

My Grandma not the one that had heart surgery but the other one Grandma Dougherty. She wasn't feeling well and we made her go to the doctor and she eneded up having acute bronchitis and when she had the x-ray they found a spot on her lung. So she had to get a cat scan and everybody was really nervous... b/c my Grandma smokes a lot. And she has smoked for at least 30 or more years. So everybody thought it might be cancer. Anyways we got the results back and it's not cancer. But they are still concerened with it. So she has to get another cat scan in 6 months to make sure it's not getting bigger and all of that good stuff. OH shhh.. we are having a surprise birthday party for her on May 7th! She will be 80!!! All my cousins will be home except for Kelly she can't fly b/c she is going to have a baby soon!!!!!!! There will be around 50-100 people there!! My Grandma rules!!!!!!

On Thursday and Friday I had Maddy she is the 5 year old girl. She is so cute, and so smart. She can't talk but she uses sign to a point.. sometimes she makes up her own sign.. but it's pretty easy to figure out what she is talking about. She threw up on me the first day...lol yeah.. but other then that both days went really well. Her mom is a little scary but that's alright. Then on Saturday and Sunday I have Greogroy a 2 year old boy. He is sooooooooooooooooooooo adorbable!! I love holding him and making him laugh. He lives with his Grandparents and they are so cute and very easy to talk to. I met Greogry's mom and ummm.. yeah she was a year younger then me in HS and not the greatest person in the world. It is kind of trying but it's worth it!!

Yesterday was a really fun day! I got to meet with one of the disabled kids I will be taking care of on Saturdays. I'm really excited! Before the meeting I had a really bad asthma attack b/c he lives in Brimley and I wasn't sure if I could find it and stuff, and I was nervous about meeting him and his Granma. Anyways I had Kristin, Jodes, and my amazing cousin pray for me! I found the house really easily and when I got there I was like aww. Gregory is so freakin adorable he is 2 years old! And I just fell in love with him! I can't wait to start watching him!!! His Grandma is really nice and I met his dad, he is just learning how to take care of him.. that is kind of sad. Anyways after that I came home.. talked for Kristin and Jodes for a little bit.. then I went to college night at La Senorita's with Amanda, Nancy, Jenny, Amy, Kristin and me! It was fun... then afterwards, Amy, Kristin, Jenny and I went shopping for a little while it was great!

Today I get to meet with the other disabled kid I will be taking care of! She is 5 years old and everyone says she is a doll! So I'm excited once again!!! Then tonight I'm going to Canada with Kristin and Amy and we are going to a swim meet then to a bonfire at one of their friends house! So that should be fun!!!
