Our state fair is a great state fair....

K, so I'm at the state fair now! I don't feel like hogging one of the two computers that we have here forever so I'm going to copy my report to Nathanael. Enjoy.

Alrighty. Now I'll give you a short report about what's going on here. It doesn't look like anyone's waiting on the computer so I guess I can make it longer than I planned which is good. Friday I went to my fair at about 9:30. I worked pop stand, went to the library... It was actually really scary because my car kept dieing! It was really strange. I called dad and apparently that's something that the car does.... Anywho. Worked pop stand again and wandered around. Finally left Lafayette aroung... 5 or 6 and went to Ohio. We got there something around 10:00 that night and did random things. The event was alright... Pretty boring, but still alright. It seems like something amazing happened but I can't remember what it was=/
Sunday right after massed bands (Lol, there's a movie on and it's distracting, I totally just typed "massed pants") we left on our way to here, State Fair. Got in and there's this really icky guy who was at conference... But I don't think he's as icky as I originally thought. Yesterday seemed like a million years long. For real. Like.... I actually met a -lot- of people already. My crew (my team basically. There's the "crew leader" (boss) who's Ashley, she's from my county so I kinda know her, then there's Breanna Sipple who I know and Tricia who I also know so it's really cool. I'm pretty sure everyone knew each other before we got here. I am the only one on the crew who's under 18 so it's kinda blah 'cause they have to keep being careful and not letting me work more than 9 hours a day. I'm also the only one on the crew who's new so it's... weird. Like, they keep having to explain things to me but it's alright. Since I've got people I know it's a lot easier. Especially Breanna, she's being really great here.
The dorm here is really nice. Like, we've got a ton of people in them, but it's still great. We've got this hospitality lounge where there's a TV, two computers (one of which I'm using right now), video games, a whole kitchen setup, etc. It's really nice. Then you have to go into this hall where the guys have a room and the girls have a room. I dunno what the guys' looks like, but ours has beds and showers and all that great stuff. My bed is right by a really big window (top bunk) and it's got this -great- ledge on it that I put my clock, books, chapstick, pictures, etc. on. So that's really great.
I guess that's it for now... I'm off for a few hours because we're totally out of things to do, lol, so I should go and let someone else on the computer. I might read or do my laundry... Or both. Waha. I hear you have to babysit your stuff while it's washing otherwise someone else will come and make a mess of everything. So I guess I'll go now. See y'all later!

Accomplishments

Well it's about three in the morning and I'm putting sleep off. It's my last night in my own bed for... A very long time. Why is that, I wonder, that I'm putting off something I want so badly? I'm extremely tired... It just doesn't seem as if there are enough hours in a day to get done everything I'd like so much to do.
I did finish packing. I did clean my room. I did make a list of stuff I have to grab tomorrow before I leave (pillow, phone, etc.) I did do the dishes. I did clean the car. I did work on cleaning the van. I did clean the counters. I did a lot of things...
I did not go to bed. I did not read my book. I did not finish my book on tape that I need to take back tomorrow. I did not brush my teeth. I did not arrange everything in the car so it fit as well as I would have liked. I did not remember to get my keys... I did not do a lot of things. Yet here I am. Still living and breathing. Does it really matter what I get done in a day?

Stupid thing. It didn't keep my font >|(

Disney

Well now, isn't this interesting? I was playing around on my computer yesterday... Well really I was looking for a font to use on my sports poster (which is almost done) and I stumbled across this. The Disney font! I found it pretty interesting... Really cool, actually. So I decided I would write something in it. I think it may be somewhat hard to read, but oh well. You'll figure out what it says if you work long enough=P

I've decided that this is something that I needed. I'm not super stressed out about 4-H projects... That's what I'm saying. In a normal year I would be done with everything by now, but this year I'm just not! Plus I don't think I'm stressed out... But then, my style has changed a lot in the last year. It's possible (likely even) that I actually am stressed out, I'm just not freaking like I usually do. That's good. Freaking makes my mom crazy. So finding a font on the computer that I love is really cool. Plus I heard from John yesterday, something that hasn't happened in much longer than I like, so that made me very happy. I also got one project done and another nearly done. I'm doing quite well.=)

So tomorrow if I'm not still sick I'm going to go to town. Buy things I need for 4-H, go to the library, maybe get a CD, get stuff from the Extension Office, probably see Audrey, and go to fife and drum. It should be a very good day. If I am sick... Then it'll stink hardcore. Let's hope I'm all better=)

Well enough now, I guess. This post was pretty random and I'm sure quite dull, so I'll end it before it bores you to death. Farewell.

I will be right here waiting for you

Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice, on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
how can we say forever

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here, waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all The times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can't you see it baby,
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here, waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive, this romance
But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance

Learning

Well now. I don't exactly remember when the last time I blogged was, but it's been a while. Minnesota was fine, conference was alright, and camp was amazing. I learned a great many things at camp... Lobbying, persuasive writing, etc. Excellent classes from Mr. Barry Sheets. I also learned that a hug and a phone number makes me someone's girlfriend... Who'd have known? So I apparently got a boyfriend on... Friday, maybe, and broke up with him yesterday when he called and mentioned that he'd never had a girlfriend before and I replied with "I'm not your girlfriend." Poor guy. Right now I'm at my grandparents' house having lunch with my family. I'm also very sleepy... I think I might take a nap today.
