It appears that I have been slacking in the the update aspect of things lately. I don't mean to, just been really busy with scoolwork and trying to get this year over and done with. And to be completely honest, I am suprised at how fast this year has gone by. Seems just like yesterday it was the beginning of the school year, and here we are at the beginning of May and school will be ending and then summer vacation. Then I will be in good ol Maine for a while until we go to Virgina Beach for a while. I haven't been there in many years so it will be nice to see how much it's changed since my last visit. I am sure I'll have fun. At least I hope I will. And try to work on not being so shy. I should have made that my New Year's Reslution in January. But I'm trying. Can't fault me for that.

And now that spring has finally hit Deleware, my allergies have finally decided to make their pressence known. And that means trying to locate all my allergy prescription medication so I don't actually get sick because of it. And since it's one of my insecurities I'm tying not to go into freak out mode when my allergies come alive. Lucky for me it's the general liliacs, pollen,goldenrod, pollen, and whatever else there is outside, and you better believe that I am allergic to it. Maybe this is the reason why I hate the Spring so much. I hate my allergies, but I am trying to deal. Well, trying is the key word here.

Other than that, nothing too much going on.Seems like everyone is talking about prom and I for one am one of the few who is not sure if she will go or not. For one, I don't have a dress good enough, and two I don't have a date. On second thought, I am not even sure if there anyone who would want to go with me. But there is someone I want to go with, but only one person knows who that is,and I haven't seen him recently so I doubt that he even knows I am alive anyway. I suppose it could not hurt to go by myself and meet up with people there, but I don't want to be a total loser, so I am not sure. But I am sure I'll know what the situation is on that front is. Knowing me, it will be a suprise one way or another.

But I guess I have written enough for people to stop wondering if I am really hidng. I am off to take pictures, and yeah, you saw that one comming. But you know where I am if you should need me. I promise to write more soon.

Okay, so my plans for spring break do not consist of going to Portland, Maine. As much as I want to see my family for a whole week and what have you, going to New York with a bunch of my friends sounds way better than anything else.Don't get me wrong, I love going to Maine for spring break and everything, but I think it's time that I do something else, and my parents understand that I need some time with friends, so they are not upset of the fact I won't be with them for spring break, but they get me for summer vacation so it's not really so bad once you think about it. And I may miss my family and everything, but I need to do something for myself for once.

Being a veteran visitor to New York, I know what to expect as far as being a tourist is concerned. But the idea of shopping is not my thing, but I figure I can at least splurge just once in my life. I think I can check out the vintage shops while I am there anyways. There are more of them in New York than there are here, and I think I can find more things to add to my never ending wardrobe of vintage things so I hope I can find some more scarves. You can never have enough I think. And there is going to Central Park and Strawberry Feilds and Times Square. There is so much to do there that we'll be occupied for hours. And there is always the idea of catching a Broadway show or whatever we want. I am hoping this break will give me the oppertunity to actually let loose and have fun, and not take things so seriously. I need to spend some time with my friends more often than hiding behind my camera all the time. I mean, I live and breathe the world of photography, but the only time I will be taking pictures is of what I see in New York. We'll see what goes down, but I am really excited that I get to go. Once spring break starts, all I am going to concentrate on is having fun and being with my friends. As well as trying to catch his eye if I can...\

But I guess that is all from me. Off to do some homework before class. I'll write more later and I'll try not hide anymore.

...Happy Birthday to me... Sweet 16, but I am not sure how sweet it's going to be. Another year older, but I guess that is a good thing.

I did get an awesome digital camera from my aunt and uncle and a beautiful necklace. The chain is entwined with gold and silver and it's heartshaped with a beautiful Morganite as the pendant, part of the reason of my first name. I shall treasure it always. And my best friend back home sent me the new Twilight movie. I was for sure Target in my homestate was going to be out, but she works there so she reserved a copy for me which was awesome of her. And since it's a three disk DVD I been all over the special feaures like there is no tomorrow. I have a feeling this whole week alone will be devoted to Twilight. I may not have had a party like I would have back home, but it was a good birthday nonetheless.

And the bad news is that Spring is here finally. Warmer weather is getting closer and that can only mean one thing for me: Allergies, and when I say allergies, I mean I am allergic to everything. One of the reasons why I am not a big fan of spring and summer really. If you are allergic to almost everything like I am, you have my sympathies and can understand where I am comming from. I have to make a point to go into town and update my allergy medication. I don't want to walk around school with watery eyes and sneezing like there is no tomorrow. Let the curse of my life begin. I better make a mental not of that before the week is over with. Hopefully I can remember and not be as scatterbrained as I am normally am. We'll see how well that goes.

I guess that is all for me. Off to do homework. I'll write more later

Well, I guess the accomplishment of the week is the fact that I was able to talk to my parents yesterday and went through a whole day without the nagging feeling of homesickness knocking on my door. I think it was due to the fact that I had so much going on that I never gave it an ounce of thought, and to me that is a good thing. To go a week without walking the halls with tears in my eyes is an accomplishment in my mind. At least I won't look like an idiot, and knowing there are people who can relate is definietly something that makes me feel a whole lot better. Then again, I think of nothing else when I am behind my camera so I guess you can say that the world disappears when I am looking at the world in a different view. I've always thought artistically so why break the cycle now.

And even I was on the phone with my parents, they have kindly reminded me that my birthday is comming up, in like 10 days from today, which suprised me, since I happened to forget. But you only turn sixteen once and while I am not expecting much, I am anticipating breaking away from being 16 and looking forward to Sweet Sixteen. Not sure what is going to happen, but I can at least hope for a party with all my friends and what not. I never been big on suprises and parties, but once in a while is nice. I am not wanting all out extravagant, but all that really matters is that people care enough to say Happy Birthday. We'll see how long I go before I even forget. I swear I have the attention span of a goldfish ranging at two seconds so chances are, I'll be thinking one thing, and then remember something else. I'm excited for turning sixteen anyways. Gotta remember to stop rambling...

Other than totally rambling about nothing, school seems to be going well. I been spending more time in the library than I have been in my dorm, and I don't think Michelle will miss me much anyway. But in the past three days alone I have written at least four essays, and while I don't mind writing, but I have always been the best at expressing myself with pictures, and with the essays for English and literature, its been leaving my brain wanting to either explode or turn into mush. I'm suprised that has not happened yet, but then again worse things have happened. At least I love English and Literature enough to get all the homework done so I can have this weekend free. And I was happy enough to be granted staff on the paper. I am your current photographer so if you see some pretty nice looking pictures, chances are that more than half of them are from yours truly. Brie needed a photographer and I jumped at the chance and I am still interested at what is going to go in the art section she and Kieran are going to be starting so that will be interesting I am sure. But at least I got my picures in, and good thing it was not last minute. Maybe this will show off some of my artistic flair. Gotta get myself out there somehow. Hopefully this will be my ticket to show some colleges that I am really good. It's early yet for that, but we'll see what happens.

Now that I rambled on about nothing in general, the weekend is here and I have absolutely nothing to do. Anyone got any ideas for weekend plans? Or rather, does anyone want to hang out with me this weekend? I know I don't want to spend the weekend in the dorms. And now I am off to do... something productive so I don't get bored. I'll write more later.

Well, now that I have just got off the phone with my parents, I am going to look like even more of a fool for showing that I am actually crying. I know I should be used to this by now, but really, being homescick sucks and it sucks even worse when you are extremely close to the two people who gave you life and can't see every day. Hopefully this will pass and I can focus on better things. Like my photography for instance. At least that takes my mind off missing Maine and home for a while. As long as that camera is in my hands, everything else seems to dissapear. And that is a good thing. Or at least I think so.

Other than missing home and what not, school seems to be going well. I do need to go to the library at some point and work on my essay for US History. I been very neglectful since my homework for math has been taking up most of my free time. I swear I am going to see algebraic eqations in my sleep for the rest of the week. I think it's pretty obvious that I hate math with a burning passion. That subject needs to die a slow and very painfull death. But my essay on the civial war should be interesting enough. I did all kinds of research so I should be good with notes and facts and all that. History has always been one of my best subjects and so far so good I always say.

I am glad that the weekend is almost here. I am not sure what I got planned, but I know I don't want to be stuck in my dorm all weekend staring at the four walls. I am sure my roommate hates the sound of me crying so that is going to stop here and now, if I can master it, it will be a miricle. But I think I could use this weekend to hang out and stuff. Anyone want to go to a movie? I hear there are some good ones playing. Let me know if you are interested. But I guess that is all for me. Off to take pictures. A photographer's work is never done. Catch you later.
