I won't defend myself
It's been forever and a day since I've really updated.. It's always been on the back of mind like, "dang jenee, you REALLY need to update that blog" and then it's like eh screw that ha.
ALOT has been going on.. life has been pretty crazy but everything really is going well and I'm super happy.
We went to DC and I loooooovvveeddddd it.. I didn't want to come home ha. The campus was very nice, although in the GHETTO ha.. I'm talking straight-up GHETTO ha! We looked outside the window at one point from one of the hotel rooms and it was at the end of campus, you could see the fence and all and right outside was a spot where homeless people stay HA! It was kinda funny :) (not the homeless people thing, but just the fact that they were right there) But anyywayys. I finally got my essays written and my application sent in last week so now I'm just waiting to hear back I guess. I sent my advisor up there an e-mail asking how long she thinks until I'll hear something back and if I should go ahead and apply for housing or if I'm supposed to wait until I get a guarantee and I have yet to hear back so we'll see! I went from being really excited to being like "uhhhh I don't think I really wanna go that much anymore" and now I'm back to getting excited but I'm finally starting to get scared shiiiitless. But I'm not going to let my fears get the best of me, this is an opportunity that is wayyy too good to pass up.
For Spring Break we went to South Padre Island and I had sooooo much fun! I let/made myself relax and enjoy myself and hung out with Jack and Welsey the majority of the time, mainly Jack, and we just sat back and watched others and had some interesting convos and fun times and just really had a good ol' time. Everybody was pretty much depressed coming back to Lubbock because nobody wanted to come home :(
But spring break has been controversial obviously amongst some of those close to me.
2009 has been an extreme rollercoaster of ups and downs; I've gone through something that I would never ever wish upon anybody, no matter how much I don't like you.. and along with everything else going on I've been extremely stressed out/tense and could not bring myself to just calmm downnn. I've gotten to the point where at times my hands shake, my face will get red and just burn/get hot and I have to just keep what I'm doing but just mentally tell myself "calm down, take a breather" and it doesn't always work so I just let it blow over and it's kind of scary at times because idk if one day I'm just going to start hyperventilating or something and just completely freak out so I think I'm going to have to go to the doctor or something to get some medication to help me calm down. But anyways, that was happening quite often and over spring break, I got to get away from all the stresses of what was going in Lubbock and didn't have to worry about a single thing and I cannot even begin to stress how amazing and nice that was. I didn't think about what was going on, didn't think about school, didn't think about work, didn't think about anything besides what was going on in that exact moment.. I remember standing outside one day and I started thinking and I was like "wow, I haven't thought about that in a few days" whereas what I was thinking about is something I think about everyday and it was just amazing really. I don't think I've really ever gotten the chance to relax that much, every trip I've been on has been with family or just hasn't been a long enough trip to actually relax that well and I'm not gonna lie, being near the beach wasn't so bad either ;) So anyways, ever since we got back, I've just been more relaxed and just more in the moment. And I have let loose and started enjoying myself more and will admit that I am being rebellious and getting alittle crazy but it's a phase I'm just going through. I've finally let my hair down after always being told to loosen up. And just tonight, by a very dear friend, was told that I had changed and wasn't the same person anymore and along with a few other things that really did hurt but won't be mentioned... What I have to say is: I'm not going to apologize for being who I am and for what I've done; I've learned from my actions and always take full responsibility for what I've done. I'm a smart girl, but as said, going through a phase, I'm being young and having fun and doing what I want to do.. I'm not going to just go completely bonkers, just experiencing life. So calm down. Some people just think that they really do understand fully and completely what one is going through and really, they don't. But, I'm done there.. I'm not going to defend myself. I don't have to, I deserve to be happy.
-Anyways, there is alot more I could say about about that, but I won't.
On another note, last week was a pretty hard week for some of us.. My brother's dog Treg had died and that was a pretty hard blow on all of us, esp Jaryd and Holly. Treg was one of the most amazzziiiiiing dogs EVER. Jaryd had taught him some tricks that were sooo funny and cute like you would wave at Treg and he would wave back.. that one was my favorite. I'm going to miss him like crazy, I already do. But I think the hardest part about it was knowing that Jaryd was sad and that there was nothing I could do. I'm a strong person but Jaryd is like 15 million times stronger than I am and I look up to him SO much and just knowing that he was hurt and sad just tore my heart apart. And then there was Holly, who made an unbelievable sacrifice for Jaryd that just makes me love her even more because it really does show just how much she loves and cares for Jaryd. I'm glad he had her there for him last week because I don't think he would've let any of us be there for him as much as she was for him. But anyways, thank you Holly for being there for him and loving and caring for him as much as you and for making the sacrifice, as hard as it was for you. Love yew :)
Speaking of dogs, Barbara has gotten Kylie into obdience classes and she's starting to get alittle smarter, but is still a brat. B has also gotten Maddie into agility classes and she's SOO excited about it.. She had to start her later into the class, by a few weeks, because of it being Valentine's Day at the store and not being able to give her time to the class and they let her start late anyways and Maddie has done amazing! She caught on reaalllllllllly fast; the teacher thought she had already taken another agility class, when she's never even done the stuff. So it's pretty cool :) She's such a smart dog.. she's one of those dogs that you could NOT show her how to do something but just tell her and she'll do it. (Okay, maybe not THAT extreme but you catch my drift) But anyways, I'm excited for B bc I know how much she loves doing that stuff and how much she loves dogs so its her "relaxing" time and Lord knows she needs a lot more of that. It'll be interesting to see how much Maddie develops and can't wait to see when she can do it all! :) Gunner is still cute as everrrrr. He's right there when I get home and follows me all the way to my room because he knows he's fixing to get alot of loving :) He's so frickin cute.
Anyways, it's late and I need to get some sleeeeeeep.
OH! Here's a little "quote" that I've fallen in love with that I now have on my "about me" on Myspace ha.
There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up and move on.
Until next time :)
