this weekend has been stellar! because i get the week of thanksgiving off i decided to, after class on friday head up to erie to visit some of the most amazing people ive met in my life time at Gannon. unfortunately a weekend is not long enough to spend quality time with everyone, for example i was really hoping to cram into the weekend quality chats with Pat, Statia, Melisssa. . . and the list goes on, but i didnt, and i really would have liked to see Kelly and KT and Rachel o and Lisa too. . .but i didn’t, and part of the complication was that i am now on my 5th cell phone in under 2 years, and when number 4 quit, it died beyond the capbilities of adress book transfers. . . o well

but let me tell you about the amazing time i had in the time i was able to hang out w/ some people who i love sooo very much. Friday i briefly hung out w/ Karen, but only briefly because she is pre-med, swamped, and we had a date planned for saturday. after the coffee house Tricia and i went out, and i discovered how much cheaper the alcohol is in erie, and how much more enjoyabl it is to enjoy it with someone who knows you! we had such a great time just chillin, some random dude kept throwing popcorn at us ( i think he thought we were cute and in his drunken stupor felt like that was a logical way to flirt. . .) but we tried some new drinks and finally had a chance to catch up (the last time we really got to talk one on one was last summer when we randomly decided to meet at paneras in butler) so after hanging out we went back to the tri sig house and Trica introduced me to batman! while we sung defying gravity twice!!! it was wonderful, i dont randomly belt out whole broadway songs anymore, it just feels, different with out Tricia.

so then i went over to the Catholic House and hung out with those girls and then Kim and i chatted for a while about life, faith, and boys, people, life and faith in general. anyway it was a much needed conversation and she played me a song by third day which was abbsolutely amazing, in fact im going to take a moment and see if i can find the lyrics for you. . . here they are, they are amazing:

I’ve heard a tale that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves.
How many times has he broken that promise?
It has never been done
Well I never climbed the highest mountain,
but I walked the hill of calvary

And just to be with you I’ll do anything,
there’s no price I would not pay, no
Just to be with you I will give everything.
I would give my life away.
Yeaaaa

I’ve heard it said that a man would swim an ocean
Just to be with the one he loves.
But all of those dreams are an empty emotion
It can never be done.
Well I never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

And just to be with you I’ll do anything,
there’s no price I would not pay, no
and just to be with you I would give everything.
I would give my life away.
Yeaaaa

And I know that you don’t understand the fullness of my love
How I died upon the Cross for your sin
And I know that you don’t realize how much that I give you
And I promise I would do it all again

Just to be with you I’ve done everything
There’s no price I did not pay, no
Just to be with you I gave everything
Yes I gave my life away.
Yeaaaaa

Just to be with you
Oh, just to be with you (3x)

. . .so i slept in saturday and it was glorius, i wanted to see if Autumn would be willing to go get something to eat with me so i invaded the kirk house, she was a little sick though so we just hung out there for a bit then i hung out with Mike and Kristen and met cody (the house dog) we went for a walk at presque isle, it was chilly, but no precipiation, and it was nice to spend the afternoon with the 2 of them, walking and talking, skippin rocks, playing makeshift baseball.

at this point it was dinner time and i had only had one meal so i went to hibatchi w/ Ryan and Mo, and let me tell you sometimes you miss people so much, you dont realize exactly how deeply you miss them untill you have to say goodbye again. . . this is pretty much how i feel about the house last year, we had our rough patches but gosh i miss it, infact you could say thats how i feel about gannon in general, basically dinner was wonderful, then it was time for my date w/ Karen!

i met her at an apb drawing class she was helping out w/ then we hung out at starbucks, were we joined by Adam A. and here’s the deal w/ Adam A. he is one of those really cool people that i alwayse wished i had had the chance to hang out with but, the opportunity never really presented itself, well it did saturday night at starbucks and we had a great time and a flipping sweet conversation, so Adam, if you are reading this. . .Thank you, I’m real glad i finaly got to hang out and have a stellar conversation with you and Karen, what an awesome combination!

so then we went bowling and it was me karen her boy and 3 of his buddies, it was a blast and we were out real late and all that fun stuff, then i crashed with Karen. lol karen is one of those friends that, u know, your not the same person, but your on the same page, she’s seen some of my best and some of my worst, and loves me anyway. she is really something special, one of my greatest blessings. I wish everyone the good fortune of having a freind like Karen. im not exactly sure what it is but it is somethign along thesel lines. i can tell her some really stupid things ive done, and she never makes me feel real stupid, i can trip on my feet with my shoes sufficiently tied and she doest make me feel clumsey, i can be me to my full potential, and completely comfortable with her, when she teases me, we both laugh and i dont feel insuficient. so basicly any guy. . .will have to pass 3 very important test, sisters, karen and gia, and my dog ( if i have one)

on that note, im going to go to bed and maybe write about sunday and monday tommorow

btw i am curretly at YSU with my awesome little sister, i thought about doing a little ohio exploration and hanging out w/ some ohio peeps tommorow, but realized, its so awesome to be here with her, so thats what this ohio trip is about, her. which means ill have to make another ohio trip at a later date to randomly visit friends

sweet drams

So it’s getting late, or rather early but I feel like writing before bed anyway.

Today flew, this weekend flew, as did the week before it, sometimes I feel like we are being cheated out of time. . .

I have a biochem test at 8:00 Tuesday morning and im a little, well a lot nervouse for it. So a lot of the weekend and the preceding week has been dedicated to amino acids and other biochemical related topics. The only thing that bugs me about this is that I feel like I have been spending a lot of time studying, but not efficiently or effectively. I guesse I’ll find out Tuesday.

This weekend was a little bit of a catch up weekend. I got to talk to a couple people I havent had the chance to talk to in a while and Post biochem test I’m going to sit down and write some people. Honestly I feel a little lousy my efforts of remaining in contact with some people have sucked lately.

random life lesson from this weekend: Sometimes a girl needs a boy to help her realize she is pretty. sounds a little superficial but its not. sometimes we all realy need somebody else to recognize something in us before we are willing to accept it ourselves. I’m just praying that this boy has been a catalyst in a very pretty girls life so that soon enough she will be able to recognize (for herself) that she is truely beautiful (because sweetie you are).

any way I am at this point pretty tired, I have an 8:00 class, tommorow (er today) is a lab day = a long day, and I have my first exam on Tuesday. This girl needs her brain break (and a littel beauty sleep couldn’t hurt).

sweet dreams
