Let the waiting begin!!

I have just finished the application process to go to Appalachian State University!! YAHOOOOOOO!!!!! I wouldn’t be so excited if the school wasn’t so friggin cheap… well it is half the price for on year as it cost me to go to SCAD for 10weeks!!! Wish me luck MOM..... IU bloomington is almost $9,000.00, and ASU is just barely $4,000.00!!!

here we Gooooooo

I have my transcripts on their way and my college application is filled out..... I just have to pay the $50.00 to turn it in!!!!! SO EXCITED!! I think I will double major in 'apparel and fibers' and sustainable development, and minor in Photography------ Yes this is A LOT BUT it really depends on what transfers and what does not transfer.

I wrote this a week ago-----

Last night I sewed, sewing and making photos is like a breath of fresh air to me. I cleaned and reorganized my sewing room on Sunday and it look refreshed! It is my own lil space in my 750 square feet cabin. I am 25 and going through some difficult times with in my own head lately. I turned in my 2 weeks notice a week ago, I was going to move back to IN and help with my grandmother, along with going back to school at IU of Bloomington. I love Bloomington, it is just far enough away from Delphi, IN and has my lifestyle all over it. However I must say that Lafayette has REALLY picked it up in the downtown area, and Black Sparrow is on my favorite bar list. With all that being said I took my notice back, and am staying in Boone, NC for awhile longer. Life grabbed me by the throat and sat me back down. I have been playing with a new/old camera that Mat’s grandfather gave to me and can’t wait to see the results of that! I am going to turn in my application FIANLLY to ASU, I moved here to transfer schools, and that was 4 years ago- so I said when I am 25 I will be back to school- well I will be 26 by the time I’m back but that’s OK. I must say though I REEALLY don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! I should finish out my photography degree, I have looked into a fibers/design major, and sustainable development, but I feel like I’m missing something….. I like to help people…. it is a goal of mine to go to Africa and live and help there…(that’s been in my heart since I can remember) and I also remember a lady by the name of Regan who did a counseling group at my school called Grief group… and she has always been in my heart —— and have always wanted to touch somebodies life like she has touched and help in mine. I suppose I am ONLY 25 and have the rest of my life to go far and wide and figure it all out!! After all a 70 year old woman did just run her first Marathon!

Many of things-

Had a party on the 19th of September- been trying to have it for a year! It was a great time-We had it spread between 2 houses, and parking at another. Neighbors, friends, and children all merry, with drink and food in hand! Canopies set up for the rain (but the rain held out until 1 am) and by that time none of us cared. Pulled Bbq pork, and covered dishes, camp fire, dessert and some of that clear mountain juice, along with a port a jon. Lanterns, candles, and white Christmas lights gave a lovely low energy, peaceful atmosphere. and then the next morning- I felt fine- but man we had a little mess! Thankfully my friends are Eco conscious and put bottles and cans in the right place. My cousin came to visit from out of town and missed the fun, but he saw the after mass- It was a down pour and I wasn't going to be in the rain to clean it. He didn't mind though- he came kicked his feet up and took some deep breaths, very much needed for him. It was good to see Preston, it had been awhile and he was in a great mood, after visiting his lovely girl. I have sold my Jeep (it only took 23 hours in the walmart parking lot) and we now have a Forester. I believe Mat's Parents are bringing it to us, and I plan on driving to IN on the 21 of October. I need to see my grandma and Family, and Amanda and Pete. I have been wanting to come home for about 3 months now and hope that I get to do such soon. I have a few skirts made and need to post them on here and other places. I'm going to the ASU game today I'm going to get soaked but I love going to the football games here! and I have a change of clothes for afterwards.! GO ASU!! then it is home to see Purdue play- Well I will probably be up loading negatives instead of watching the game- be well

On Saturday a lovely day with my "little sister" and then some football, drinks, reggae, then to an amazing party! this place was like afairy tale! I really wish I had my camera to take photos- there is no way I can describe it. candles and lanterns EVERYWHERE! hanging in the trees, lining every walk way you could possibly think of, out door kitchen, yurt, lovely tapestries everywhere, a powder room -outside- several shelter areas, wee ones running around, banjo, guitar, violin, banjo circle, bonfires, the energy was amazing- and so pleasantly quiet- the closest feeling I have had to complete bliss since the Hostel in the Forest!
