Friendship is Essential to the Soul

WHATS UP?!

OK... so far today I have done absolutely nothing besides wake up, go to breakfast, be a meanie (cuz I get that way sometimes), talk to my best friend forever on the phone, and then sleep and watch TV. Nothing "special" but it was awesome and relaxing.

I love talking to Cicely on the phone (she's my best friend by the way) cuz we hardly ever talk to each other ever since I started college last year and we've been far away from each other. Regardless of all of this though, every time we talk, we can always pick up where we left off and I know she will always be my peeps. I just feel so blessed to have a friend like her and when I whine to my parents about feeling like an outcast sometimes, they just remind me of Cicely. Not everyone is fortunate to have even ONE friend they consider family. Not only is she family, but her family is family to me and that is so awesome. Sometimes I think she is one of the major reasons God led my family to Georgia in the middle of 8th grade (because I used to always wonder why? why me?). I know now though. Moving here set me up for a lot of good experiences and I KNOW I definitely would NOT be here @ Tech.... (to be continued I'm not finished yet).

Ok there's more....(the continuation)

Ahhh there is NOTHING quite like spending over an hour in Woodruff and inevitably smelling like food upon your exit. I went in there with Hui, Arnab and some dude and I ended up sitting with them as well as Daniela, Yandra and Margarita (they are all from South America). I met Daniela on the tech shuttle the second week of school. They're cool peeps. Its nice to be exposed to a different culture and learn about more than what you have come to know as "normal." I'm hoping that we can all hang out sometime. I want to become fluent in Spanish, and I believe being around them would be something positive. If I don't get a job as CA next year, I want to go live in the Spanish language house because immersion is a good way to learn. That would be a good transition from my possible trip to Spain this summer. I'm so excited about everything right now, I hope this continues.

As of now, I'm not altogether sure about how my night's going to play out. I got invited to the mall a little while ago, but I didn't want to spend my last 2 dollars on MARTA to walk around the mall and not buy anything cuz I'm broke...lol. I was invited to go to the club all expenses paid, but I'm just not feelin crunck. I haven't been feelin all that hype recently anyway. I have just been in a mellow mood, on the chill tip. I guess maybe I've gotten the partyness (like that's a word) out of my system. Sometimes I feel like the lone ranger. I'm starting to like being alone now I guess. It's such a big contrast to last year when I used to want to be around people ALL the time. I find myself wanting my own room and I shop alone now because I have learned the value of time for yourself. It's nice to not have to worry about what stores the people you are with want to go to, or wonder if you're spending too much time in one place. Also, you can pick up the clothes you want to pick up vs the ones your friends would tell you to PUT DOWN. Don't get me wrong, I like shoppin with mah girls too, but when's the last time Crystal has been able to just go shopping and actually BUY something?
