Mr. O'Brien told us to take five minutes and just write. That was all he said, and that was all we did. We sat there scribbling out all of our raw feelings and worries until the timer rang and we put our pencils down. And then there was always this beautiful moment of relief.
We were all human. We all had problems. But we were all alive.
And so here you go. ugh. haha it is not that easy but I have already begun so I cant really stop can I? So school is starting today. I dont have classes till 12 which is kind of nice because I can blog, journal, read, run , and maybe take up some yoga. Ariah wants to do that haha. I think it would be relieving. My new roommate seems cool! Shes a junior and I am a freshman. So that is a little weird. She also used to be an RA so I don't know how she will act or anything. But I'm sure it happened for a reason:) and I will be happy whatever does happen. Brenton flew home yesterday. It still hasn't hit me yet. He had just become this huge constant in my life. Like a person I could turn to any time. Any day. and now that he just dissaparated back to the east coast I think I will have to start meeting new people or trying to make more friends otherwise I will just get a little depressed really. I am taking Portuguese , New Testament and BOOKBINDING. Yeah I know. Who knew it was a class, and who knew I could take it for my major! heh heh winnnn. My family is gone. Becca is still honeymooning away. I kinda sorta miss her a lot a lot. Which is weird. Its like- when you have something, you don't realize what you have until its gone. haha that is a constant truth in my life. It keeps reminding me that everything is so fleeting. I hope my classes and teachers are awesome. I have the jitterbugs that happen when I am doing brand new things by myself. But hey :) That is a good thing right?
I am alive.
And there you go- few people that read my blog. The five minute free write. No editing. No fixing. just plain ol Alissa. Have a good week young grasshoppers (as Valerie would say)
