this weekend was really fun. friday night i went to see dreamy dave, keith, and young min play at the scarlet and gray cafe, and then i drove out to hammy's farm for our house campout.  when i got there the girls were sitting around the fire and later on cindy made me a hot dog. we slept out in the barn because it was storming and poor jake (amanda's dog) was very upset. i like it when it storms/rains at night. i also wish i had a dog. (but i dont have time or space to take care of a dog. plus i have seven roommates) anyhow, saturday we had a pancake breakfast and got the tour.  i must say, while i like living in the city because there is so much to do, the country has its advantages as well: the roads are fun to drive on since theres no traffic, you can see the stars at night clearly, its quiet and peaceful, etc. i dont know that im ever going to be a country girl though, thats asking a lot. im perfectly content with visiting amanda on her farm  

saturday night beerba, katie, and i ordered catfish biffs and watched finding neverland and phantom of the opera. it was a good girlie movie night.

today i dont reallly know what i did. i know i worked on thank you notes and homework, but im not realy sure where the time went. sundays seem to be like that a lot.

i cant remember when, maybe last tues or wed i stayed up till late reading the rest of pride and prejudice on the balcony. it may have taken me forever, but i finally finished it! now im starting the count of monte cristo, and that is twice as long so we'll see how long this takes. reading/talking on the balcony when its nice outside is really fun. i always forget its up there. you can be outside but its still private.

im flipping out about the school year almost being over. ah.

to update you on my life:

1. im am now 21. woohoo. my birthday was fun and i got hiking shoes from my roomies!

2. i STILL dont know how to play my guitar.

3. i came down with this awful cold three days ago and ive been a drippy coughing mess the last two days. i hope it goes away soon, i hate being sick you cant do anything fun.

4. i want to expand my music horizons. let me know of some cool bands/artists.

5. this summer is approaching way to quickly for my comfort.

6. why do people say mean things? it just makes me upset.

7. ive been going to observe slps/audiologists etc for this class of mine and i have to say dressing up every now and then is fun, but for the most part i cant stand it. what am i going to do when i have to get a job? maybe ill try and work at a hospital where i can where scrubs. that would be nice.

thats all. muah.

i think its funny the different sorts of things people write about on their "xanga journals".  some people just write about what they did the past weekend, or whatever, which is mostly what i read about, just to know what people have been doing and such.  then there are the people who write about interesting things that are just random and dont really have to do with anything but are insightful and funny and true.  the type that makes you think of an opinion editorial.  i think those are my favorites, when they are actually insightful and funny.  then, there are the entries where people try to secretly tell someone they are mad at them, or like them, or dont like them, or some other sort of "secret hidden message" within the entry.  i dont know if these people have ever seen the saved by the bell where the boys put hidden messages in the music the girls were listening to, but it didnt turn out very well in the end.  that is just my advice to these people. and a lot of times these are along the same lines as the entries that are just begging for some sort of a response.  i just think people should not count their self worth in how many responses they get from their xanga entry.  i know, personally that i get somewhere around 3 calls on my cell phone a week, but i dont let this get me down, because, in the end, i dont really like talking on the phone much anyways.

i bet you are like, wow, becca is in a weird mood today. and in fact, i am. i dont know why.  i like thinking about these sorts of things and i find them really amusing but when i try to explain them to other people or write them out myself they arent half as entertaining.

i had thought i had everything figured out...that i was going to grad school in chicago (well if i get accepted somewhere) to be an slp.  which, still sounds like a good option to me. but then there are so many more options...what about ot? what about pt? what about ohio state? all of my friends are here. well, they may not be later. but im sure some still will be.  then i wouldnt have to spend money on out of state tuition and i could get a nice car. but do i really want to have a nice car when im going to have to park it on west campus. and what if i dont get into osu grad school? ugh. my mind is just going, and going, and going. sometimes i wonder how other people make decisions, because i am terrible at it.  how am i ever going to decide who i want to marry? how many kids i want to have? where i want to live? i cant even decide where i want to go to grad school.  so much of your life can be changed by just ONE decision. i hate that.

on the other hand this is my last week of work this quarter and that makes me SO excited!

ps there are NO mailboxes anywhere.

im updating this for kitty, who is pictured here with her birthday present from our house.  needless to say,m she is going to kill me.

im sending out my last batch of support letters and hopefully i will be done then.  right now mary and i are procrastinating and not studying for our tests.

this is my last week at work and im really looking forward to having some free time to just read, work out, or even sleep in! let me know if you want to hang out i will be free in the mornings as of next week.

im stressing out about going on a summer project because i dont want to leave all of my friends.  some of them are graduating or moving out at the end of the summer and im sad because im not going to get to hang out with them this summer :(

the first thing i need to say is...has anyone noticed the ridiculous number of things you need to have a password for? i have so many different "names" and passwords for things i get them all mixed up and it takes me like ten minutes to sign into anything requiring a password because i can't remember which one is for which!  and really to be honest, i dont care if anyone knows my passwords, except for my bank account of course but really, i dont care if you read my email or xanga or whatever. its just silly.

funny things just keep happening to me (or at least i find them funny at least) so i feel the need to write about them. yesterday afternoon kadi taught me how to rollerblade. it was really fun and i didnt fall at all! i had to keep telling her to wait up though. she has some really funny pictures and videos on her camera of us. im sure i was funny to watch though...

then last night kelly, kadi, cindy, and i went over to a cookout at neil's house, to which we had never been, so kelly got directions from jenny. well they told us to go to the last house on the left, which most definitely was not the right house considering there was a wreath on the front door, and these men next door were laughing at us. so then we found the house and these guys put their car in reverse and pulled up next to us. the best part was kelly saying "lock your doors and duck!" like they couldnt see us or anything. oh funny. i was cracking up. then we cooked out, learned how to play horseshoes, and played some trouble.

i finally got to take a nap yesterday. it was beautiful.
