I've narrowed down the list of colleges I'm applying to...
-NC State
-UNC-CH
-UNC-W
-NC State
-SMU
-American
-??? I feel like I should apply one more place, but I'm not quite sure where

School starts back up soon. I'm happy about this, because it will give me something to do, but its also kinda bad cause it means I have to get serious about doing all my applications, not to mention if I want to row competatively I have to get really serious about that- ie. start doing 2ks once a week and pester the hell out of coaches via e-mail.

Not feeling to great today, so no exercising... maybe I should do some of my summer reading?

Will made the soccer team, which is kinda suprising, considering he hasn't played competatively for like two years... but I'm happy for him none the less.

Went to the Pat Green/Gretchen Wilson/Kenny Chesney concert on friday with my sister and cousin. It was awesome, yay for lawn seats! I don't know what I would do without them (my sister and cous). Sometimes I think they know me better than I know myself.

Today I went to crew early, to do a 2k with coach Shaffer, because I haven't done one all summer, and need better times if I want to have any chance of rowing in college. AND I FINALLY BROKE 8 MINUTES! I got an 7:57.7, and I intend to lower that even more before spring season.

-Having no AC during the hottest days of the entire summer is not a good... to escape, my mom and i have been going shopping and driving around, because anything is better than sitting at home and sweating. We're supposed to be getting it fixed, but the guy can't come until Monday and Tuesday.

-Today my dad bought a new truck, its really cool. Its another ford F150, except its a new model and its dark blue. So now we have four cars, which means I don't have to share stevie with my siter any more, because she gets my dad's old truck, because shes older. THe suburban isn't that bad any way. Shes only taking the truck to school for the first semester of college (she is going to the Duke Marine Lab in Beaufort), so I hopefully I'll get to drive the truck after Christmas. I need help coming up with names for the truck if anyones got any good ideas.

-Coach Schaffer is doing a crew camp next week, which I'm gonna go to I think (now that I don't have to share a car!)

i'll post pictures of the car, puppy, etc. soon

This summer I've been trying to get myself organized and figure out where I'm gonna go to college, and what the heck I'm gonna do when I get out of college, and heres what i've come up with so far (please don't laugh)...

possible colleges:
NC State
Drexel
UNC-CH
UNC-W
American
SMU
Lehigh
Boston University
Bucknell
Northeastern

possible majors:

criminal justice- i could become a police officer or something along those lines

nursing- i would do this with/through ROTC where ever i end up going

physical therapy/sports medicine

pre-med- i'd go into either pediatrics or orthopedics

journalism- not so sure about this one, because it would most likely require me to work in a cubical

Ok, so taking 2 days off from erging and my diet was not such a good idea, won't be doing that again.

Got the Harry Potter book last night/this morning at Barnes and Noble with Sonja. We were gonna go to Borders on Six Forks, but they didn't have any unreserved copies. It was a lotta fun tho, we walked around the mall, read trashy magazines, drank coffee, and stuff. The book is really good so far; I'm almost half way through it.

Got scores from AP exams back today, I'm not gonna say what I got, but I DID do really well in US History, even though I was taking advanced.

UPDATE!!!!!!!

Summer has been good so far...

-Flew up to Buffalo with my sister to get my new puppy (if you don't know the whole story just ask, but i will spare those who know it and not post it)
-rowing camp with coach schaffer
-Went to CRRC with leslie, and Sonja... one word for ya- prostidude
-Went to the beach with my dad's side of the family, 16 people in a 4 bedroom 3.5 bathroom house
-Hung out with my cousins
-Went to the beach with my mom's parents, which was not so much fun, but hey i ended up reading 5 books in the 7 days of that trip!
-Did a whole lotta nothing, yay for being lazy!
-This week i finally got my butt into gear and started working out again, and holy crap i'm out of shape
-Went to a Harry Potter party/movie thing with les, sonja, and martha at Kaye's last night, which was a lotta fun

ALSO COMING SOON: NEW TEMPLATE

So after rereading it, I realized one of my more recent posts, it sounded like all I was doing was bitching about how much my life sucks. My life does not suck that much, and even if sometimes I feel like it does, I really shouldn't bitch about it. And if there is someone who got the impression that I was trying to blame all of my problems/issues on them, I'm sorry, I wasn't. You are in no way the cause of any of my problems/issues.
