sharpie pens and cubs games

the first of the school supplies have been purchases.  sharpie pens.  i don't know why i like them so much, i just do.  those and papermate ones.  i usually like pens that you have to click not with a cap.  teachers used to reprimand me during class because i would be clicking my pen and not even noticing it.  if it has a cap though i chew on it.  maybe i should start using a pencil.  i'm getting more and more excited about school by the day.  a lot of my credits transferred which is great, and i'm really excited to start taking classes again.  

tomorrow i'm going to a cubs game.  a bunch of us are going and we're sitting in the bleachers.  i don't care how good or bad the cubs are doing i still like to see them play.  it's just fun being at a game.  goal for tomorrow: make a new friend.  another goal: don't get beer spilled on me by rowdy fans.

it's really happening

well folks, it's happened.  today i got an e-mail letting me know that i have been accepted into Trinity International University!!!  wowza, i am excited.  no one was home to celebrate with me so i yelled around the house for a little and then made a few calls.  i told me my mom and started crying a little, i'm pretty sure she was too.  krista did a great job of being excited with me.  i can't believe it.  i went to community college and then stopped for a number of reasons, but one was i was too afraid to apply anywhere else.  i have an intense fear of rejection.  today i feel pretty proud of myself.  i'll start sept. 22.  i already have a list of school supplies.  i'm too excited and happy to do anything.  i don't need to clean, i was just accepted to college.  so what if i showered an hour ago and i'm still sitting in my towel, i was just accepted to college.

in other news, i hate working out but i do it anyway, at least once a month.
