So a lot of things have come and passed since last time. I don't know if I remember all that I have done, or if you would even be interested in reading all about it. Let's see I got to hang out with a lot of my friends and spend quality time with them. Found about, or rather I didn't find out about Purdue's SPAN Plan with Lisa. Watched Million Dollar Baby (tons of tears and heartbreak), but a great movie. Moved to my new apartment. Went to a concert in Columbus, OH with Christina. Met ppl from new bands, met Tegan and Sara. They are super cute and very talented. Worked a lot it seemed with not a lot of rest in between. Went off to a ten day meditation course. A lot of hard work, but like Rivers said, definitely worth it. Met some cool ppl there. Got lost on the way there so it took me like forver to get to Pecatonica, IL (near Rockford) I left town around 1pm got there right at 7pm. The drive home, got out on the road at 8:45am and got back into West Lafayette at noon. Yeah, I am still trying to figure that one out. Dad said I must have been speeding. I just kept up with the traffic=D. Got to hear some great music on the way home, I know I shouldn't be craving, but I couldn't get enough of all the music! Got to hear new Death Cab and Ben Folds.
It's good to be back. Just figuring out things with school, am I really financially ready to go back? I am very appreciative of all of you who have offered to loan me money, but I know I'll find a way to work things out. Things always have a way of working out, sometimes a little easier/more difficult than others, but nonetheless. Got back into town yesterday and saw Lisa on the way home so we met up for lunch and talked for hours. Last night I worked with Todd and Chris. A nice time. Then this morning, I meditated for an hour and it was very good. The hour went by way fast and of course my mind wandered off, but I tried to bring it back every time. Then went off to walk with Lisa, I think we did over three miles, so that felt good. Plus I just love chatting with her. Made a Starbucks run for iced coffee and a blueberry scone. YUM! Then I got ready, made some phone calls about jobs and car washes (my car has an excessive amount on it!). I got asked about it at one of the toll booths on the way home and Lee, Lisa, Emily B, and Nick commented on it. heh. I called Erica before I came here to the library. I met ppl who teach at Montessori schools in Cincinnatti and Washington D.C. So I figured I should call her up cause I was thinking of her. Got some more phone calls to make, get my car washed and go to work this evening, and unpack at home. I am sure I have left out quite a bit of stuff, but it all sums up to being really busy, having fun, trying to be a good person, and living life! And of course getting excited about lots of thing. Booyah! hehe, I love that word.
Much Love,
Alexa;)
p.s. Here are some new words I learned/made up with friends.
Claymate - those who are followers of Clay Aiken
Babeman - Derived from Justin Bateman who is a Babe, therefore, he is now Justin Babeman (took some cues from Wayne's World) and you can also use Babeman to describe good looking guys;)
All for now!
OOOH! If for some reason I have winked at you after saying something witty, I apologize, it is not meant in a creepy/flirty way. For some reason it has been happening though. I said something to Nick this morning in the DT and I winked at him and I was like...man, I just winked at him. Hope it didn't freak him out. Anywho.
Crap, one more thing. Lots of new music coming out this month, so keep your ears perked. Some shows I would like to go to if I can afford them. Rilo Kiley in Columbus, OH. Weezer/Foo Fighters in Chicago and Champaign. Hoping for Champaign. And I am sure there are others. Anywho. For real, that is it!
