some pictures?

I really wish that my family knew how to use my camera... haha.
It's blurry, but I love this picture. I actually look pretty happy.








JOHN STONESTREET!! I cannot tell you what a great impact this man is in my life! Seriously, everyone needs to go to Summit:

www.summit.org

It was so much fun, but I guess it's only fun if you like reading, thinking, and wrestling tough subjects. One day I think I will go back.




This is what I came home too! My next-door neighbor Karsten drew this on my driveway! haha, He and his family pretty much are family. I totally didn't expect this, and was so surprised! You can't see it to well, but he drew me as a stick figure with a purple side ponytail... hahaha!
(he is making fun of me, because I always have the peace sign up in pictures... so that is why he has his... haha)



ok, that is all the pictures for now... I need to upload some pictures that I took a week or so ago from downtown adventure that I went on (by myself).

this is the end.

this past weekend.

So, the NCHE Annual Conference was this past weekend,

I HAD A BLAST! I met tons of cool, new friends from all over the state.
John Stonestreet was there, and gave awesome lectures (I had already heard all of them before... haha from Summit) and!!!
He was the one to give my commencement speech! HOW COOL!

I didn't really take that many pictures this time, but I will probably upload those later on in the week (the lighting wasn't all that great).

Other News:
MacBook. I am getting one sometime soon, so I am pretty stoked about that.
Mandolin. I need to go to some pawn shops around here and see what they have, I am not interested in a super duper nice one, just a nice one that I can learn to play on.
ACT. I am NOT excited about this, and I still haven't really studied... ugh, bad feelings...
Real College. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!?!?
Massanutten. We leave next Sunday! Uber excited!
Omaha. I need to book a flight... trying to find cheap tickets... ha.

new news.

so I have a "twitter"
I am not exactly sure what it is, or how to use it... but I have one.
my username is:

wannabechelsey

I am feeling super artsy right now, and I think I am going to go home a sew something, or make a paper card, or oh I dunno, just something artsy...

and now I want to make a terrarium. I saw the idea on some random blog, it's so cute.

ok, well, I have to pack for the Winston-Salem trip, and maybe while I am there I will have some time to create.

Well, it's officially summer!! (as of May 13th, 2009)

My plans include:

Studying for the ACT. (why I didn't take that in high school, I don't know...)
NCHE Conference May 20-23
Family Vacation in Massanutten VA (plus a mini trip to visit Andrea! YES!)
Taking the ACT June 13th
Visiting Friends in Omaha ??? (dates TBD)
Sleeping (a lot of this will be going on)
Crafty Things (I plan on learning how to sew clothing, that should be interesting!)
Summit Reunion (dates TBD)
Family Vacation on Hilton Head Island (LOVE this place)
Other random events
Then, Summer comes to a close.

College for the fall is still up in the air, but it looks like I will be continuing at FTCC for a second year (maybe just the fall semester) and then transferring to Appalachian State University in the Spring '10 semester, or Fall '10. We shall see...

By the way, it's pretty cold out! I thought it was the END OF MAY, but it's like 60s!?!? I WANT HEAT NOW!
Psh, Global Warming...

I am pretty excited about this weekend, I will post pictures! It's always a lot of fun, and this year there is a dance class again, which is hilariously fun!

I'm looking for a mandolin, I want one soooo bad. I love their sound. So that is what I am saving money for (plus the other half of a macBook, my parents are paying half!)

this is the end.
