Hmph.

I'm tired. I really just want to be done. I think that once I get Shakespeare done, that I will be a'okay on stress levels. That is what is stressing me out more than anything, I think. I am ready for a long break. It will be much liked. The only thing will be being far away from people... Or, I guess I should just be honest... while I'm missing my friends, all of them, there will be one person I will miss more than anyone. Hmmm.

I want to go home and sleep.

I can't too much to do.

Anyway, love love.

It's been a while, eh?

Well, I just got back from an amazing trip to Virginia during which I spent time with my godfather, and then my parents came up and joined us for Thanksgiving. It was a week in which I relaxed, enjoyed myself, read, breathed, slept, you know... all that stuff. It was really wonderful. The only thing I didn't do, was homework, even though I told myself that I was going to, I think deep down I knew I wasn't.

Hmm. That means that I need to start working on my speech that is due tomorrow... right now. But, I probably won't start for a while... I'm going to the library later, Christy is supposed to meet me.

Right now I'm sort of in an interesting place in my life. School bothers me everyday... my grades aren't what they should be, I really am just tired of it. I think pretty much everyday about just quitting and taking a semester off, or you know, just quitting. Everyday. The only thing that is keeping me here, at Berry, is the people. Which brings me to a new subject.

Friends. Right now, I'm sort of in a transition with friends. I sort of have the same stock people as my friends, but the closeness of those people is what is changing. I am also adding on a couple of new ones. There are three four people I want to "address" here, and how I am glad that they are in my life.

Erin: Babe, I am so glad that we have gotten close. Doing the show with you was amazing. You are a truly genuine person, and I just like hanging out with you, talking with you, and knowing that you'll be there if I need you... I hope you know the same goes for you. I am here anytime you need to talk, and I will listen just as well as you do! Love you, dear!

Emily: Girlfriend, you are great. I have loved our talks whether it be over lunch, or freezing in your car at 1:00am. I loved that you were in the show, and I hope that you'll be sticking around the building with all us crazy theatre kids. You are beautiful and wonderful, and I am so glad that we are getting to know each other.

Lindsey: You are an inspiration to me everyday. Your happiness and positivity drives me. What I see in you encourages me to be a better person, and I feel so lucky to have you in my life. SO lucky. You are wonderful, and you are a wonderful listener. You are beautiful and wonderful. I love you.

Cory: Well, well, well... We've had a tough go, eh? I've fought, but you stayed, and I don't even think I can fully express how much that means to me. I'm probably the hardest person you've ever tried to be friends with, but you stuck it out, and I am thankful for that. I am thankful for our companionship that is unlike any other, and I am thankful that I can talk to you about the things that I can. You have truly been someone that I know I can trust, and I thank you. You're amazing.

For those of you who know that you're loved by me, I thought I would tell you again. If your name is Christy Fox, Chelsea Knost, Emma Harr, Jordan Coleman, Mark Bailey, Joe Thornton, Matt Dixon, Amelia DuMond, Tammy Robinson, Hether Sheel, then I'm sure that you all know that I love you. =]. And all you other crazy theatre kids that I haven't mentioned, I love you guys too.

I was just really nostalgic or something.

Anyway... moving on.

I thought I would post a picture of the newest edition to the Countryman Family:
Everyone... This is Jake:

He is a five year old Golden Retriever. And he's great! I love him.
