The Prince and Me is SUCH a cute movie! I don't know how I've never seen it before, but it was on tv and it's SO adorable. I might have cried a little at.. well... several parts. Sappy, I know.
What girl doesn't dream of having a real, live prince fall in love with her, though? SO romantic!
SUCH a cute movie. There's a sequel, I think. I'm going to have to see if I can find it.

I had the WEIRDEST dream! I kept changing into all these animals! Like, I couldn't control it! One minute I was a bird, the next I was a wolf, then I was a fish and when I was a fish I couldn't breathe, but then I was a bird again.
I've had some pretty weird dreams, but this one was just.. I don't even know. And it was so vivid, too! Like it felt like it was really happening. It took me a few minutes to realize it wasn't real after I woke up.
Private to Jon.Hey! I was thinking maybe I could borrow the girls for the weekend so you could have some time to yourself. What do you think? I would love to spend some time with them! /Private
One more class and then I'm done for the day!

I had a really, really great Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone was here and we celebrated in Jon's new house. I had SO much fun playing with Maggie and Bethany. Mama and I did so much baking, but I really loved spending the time with her. I really miss her when I'm away at school.
I have a little tree in my dorm room now. It's not much, but you can't really fit a REAL tree into a dorm room and I really like it. I'm loving the cooler weather, too, but I really, really hope we get some snow this year!
I'm kind of starving, but I don't really feel like dining hall food tonight. Does anyone feel like going out or something?

It is SO good having Jon in Atlanta! I've probably been neglecting my schoolwork a little more than I should be doing, but I can't help it. It's been forever since I've had my big brother RIGHT THERE and I can't help taking advantage. I know he'll be here for good soon, but.. I missed him so much!
Private to AaronHey! I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come to church with us tomorrow. Or, you know, we could hang out later or something. I just thought it would be nice to see you. /Private
Private to AdamHey! How are your classes going so far? I would offer to show you around, but... I think -I'm- still getting lost. I'd love to meet you for lunch sometime soon, though, if you're interested! I mean, I'll see you tomorrow, of course, but it could be cool to hang out someplace not at church, too, right? /Private

I haven't really talked about it much, but I'm not going back to UCLA for my last year. It's just really expensive to do everything out there and I talked it over with mama and daddy and prayed about it and decided to transfer to GSU. It's a good school and so much closer to my friends and family back home. I feel good about my decision, even if there are definitely people in LA I will miss an awful lot.
Private to Jon.Mama and Daddy said I can use some of the money we'll be saving to visit you this summer. Is there any time in particular that would be best for y'all? I really miss you, Jon. I can't wait to see you. /Private

It's really horrible about those two boys who were killed in that car crash back home. :( I know things like that happen, but it makes me so sad when they do, especially when it's people I kind of knew.
In other news, I think Jase had the sex talk with the kids. Travis asked me if I had a vagina. And something about a rabbit. I don't really know.

It's been really hot here. It kind of makes me miss California, but then I remember that they don't have Fuji's in LA and I'm glad to be home for the summer.
It feels weird to not have Jon home. It feels weird that he's married. I miss him
Does anyone want to go swimming tomorrow?

Let's go to PF Chang's tonight! I've got some babysitting money saved up and I'm craving really good Chinese. Besides, we won't have very much more time together. You'll be moving soon. We could even go see a movie, if you want.
[/Jon]
Only about a month left in the school year. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. LA has definitely grown on me and I'll miss it over the summer, but it will be nice to get home to Blackshear. I'm looking forward to seeing Mama and Daddy and being able to go riding whenever I want. I'm going to need to get a job since I won't have babysitting to save money from, but I don't mind. I'm sure I'll find something that isn't too horrible.

I still can't believe Jon got his girlfriend pregnant! Pregnant! I don't know how he could be so careless. I don't know how he could be having sex! He's always encouraged me to wait. How could he do that and then do... this?
And he's leaving me. At the end of the school year, he's moving to New York City! Do you have any idea how far from Los Angeles that is? I don't know what I'm going to do without him. I'm going to miss him so freaking much.
[/Private]
It's such a beautiful day out. It's supposed to get up to 78 degrees today. I was thinking of going to the beach after class and enjoying the sunshine a little. Does anyone want to join me? Bastian, Rosie?

Oh, my gosh, right now I have the biggest bouquet of flowers in my dorm room that I have ever seen! They're all different pastel colors and SO pretty. I shouldn't think it means I've never really gotten flowers before, not like these. It's kind of exciting!
[/Block]
I'm having a good day! I think I'm going to curl up and watch The Notebook or something. It seems like the perfect day to relax and watch sappy movies.
Does anyone want to join me? My roommate is busy with her boyfriend and the dorm feels kind of empty without her.

Summer is just flying by so quickly, isn't it? I'm glad Jon and I have another month before we need to head back to school, because it really does feel like we just got home. I'm really not ready to leave Blackshear again, you know?
Speaking of home, I actually got to do Children's Church today and it was a LOT of fun! The kids seemed to really like the lesson and we had a nice discussion going. I think I'd like to do it more often if I could. I really liked it. It's made me think that I might like to go into teaching.

Pippa is going to have Tollie with her in LA. I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it. She suggested that maybe I could go work at the farm with her and maybe get to ride one of the other horses there in exchange, but I'm afraid to ask Mama and Daddy. I know they like us to be really focused on school while were away and I don't think they would be keen on me taking the time to work just so I could ride.
I don't know, though. I do miss it when I'm not at home. I guess I just need to suck it up and ask them.

Can you believe we're halfway through July already? It seems like it was just January, doesn't it? I'm glad classes don't start up until until September, because it feels like we just got home and there's so much I want to do here before we have to go back to California.
It's been a little strange, settling back into my old routine. LA feels like an entirely different world, though it's not in a bad way. Everything is just.. slower here. I like it. It felt like everything was just happening so quickly for me in the last year and it's nice to be able to just slow down and relax.
Mama and I have been baking and even with air conditioning, the house is way too hot at the moment. I think I want to go swimming. Maybe I'll call Rosie and see if she wants to come with us!

Marcus and I broke up. :(
I just.. I'm going home for the summer really soon and I don't think I can trust him I'm not even sure what I was thinking before. I think it was a moment of temporary insanity or something. It's funny how that can happen when you're being distracted by how completely wonderful something feels. You just forget to think like a rational person.
Anyway, it just doesn't feel right to tie a guy down while I'm on the other side of the country all summer and I heard this girl at school talking about how she was going to. I'm way too young to be getting into some relationship anyway, right?
I'm almost sad about going home. I'm going to miss SO much with Abby and Jase's baby! Promise me you guys will send me a million pictures of everything?

Abby fell today. She's completely fine, but it still makes me feel bad to think of what could have happened. Thank God everything is alright with her and the baby. I can't even imagine how scary that must have been for her and Jase.
[/]
[Abby]
I know things must be crazy with getting ready for the baby, so if you need any extra help with the kids or anything at all, please let me know. My workload at school isn't too bad this week and I could come over after classes and I could come by after school and help with their homework or dinner or anything you need!
[/]
It's hard to believe it's April already. The school year will be over soon and I have mixed feelings about it. I am really looking forward to being home for awhile, because I do miss it, but there are some things about California that I will definitely be missing when it's time to leave for vacation.

The weather seems to be gradually warming up, though I think it still could be a bit warmer. Then again, that may be due to the fact that it's a good 20 degrees warmer, at least, back home. I suppose that makes me spoiled, doesn't it? Complaining that 53 degrees simply isn't warm enough?
It's supposed to get into the 70s later in the week or sometime next week, though. I have to admit that I am looking forward to it.
[private to herself]
Things with Marcus are.. kind of perfect, actually. That does scare me a little and I can't help second-guessing myself. I know I'm not.. what he's used to. I guess I just don't really understand why he likes me. Especially when I know he wants... more.

He kissed me. Marcus kissed me and I let him. I didn't just let him, though. I wanted him to. I must be out of my mind.
I mean I know he's.. well, I'm sure I'm not the only girl. I'm sure nothing has changed and he's only going to..
I really am an idiot.
Someone just.. chain me to my dorm room and don't let me leave it again.

I've been volunteering at one of the local animal shelters, just a few hours a week, and it's really sad to see how many people have to give up their pets because they can't afford them. It makes me wish I could take them all home with me, but I know that's not practical, because I'm not rich, either, and I'm not even allowed to have animals in the dorms.
Anyway, if you live in LA and you are thinking about getting a pet, you should definitely stop by, because there are a lot of cats and dogs here who could really use good homes.
[private to jase and abby]
Travis told me the other night that he really wants a dog. I don't know if he's said anything to you about it, but Piper chimed right in and I think it was the first time I'd seen her speak to him in several days!

We're reading Les Miserablès in my literature class right now. I've read it before, but it's one of those books that's always a good one, no matter how many times you read it. I get this weird sense of deja vu when I read it, too, but I suppose it's just that I've already read the words before. I've seen the movie, too, which Clare Danes was really adorable in.
It's really a shame that they cut out Èponine's part in the movie, though. She's such a good character and I think I love reading the side plot about her more than the main plot with Cosette. I've probably thought about this way too much, haven't I?
I'm having the dreams again, too. I keep dreaming that I'm Èponine and I've just been shot and I'm dying in Marius' arms. Except it wasn't Marius last night. It was Marcus, which is just beyond strange. I wonder what it means.
I should be getting to class. I want to make time to grab some breakfast before the lecture starts. Jon, if you're up, do you want to meet me somewhere? The dining hall or maybe that cute little cafe across from the bookstore?

I told Marcus I don't think we should see each other anymore. Jon told me to follow my instincts and that's what they were telling me. I think we're really just too different. Granny says that's why I need to find a good Southern boy to settle down with and maybe she's right. People are just.. different out in LA.
He wants to be friends. I agreed, even though I'm not sure how that's going to work out. We really don't have anything in common. I spend my Sunday mornings in church while he probably spends them recovering from a hangover.
I'm not sorry I decided to go to UCLA, because I love being close to Jon, but I guess I just need to remember that the people out there aren't like us.

I think I'm going to go make some cookies and sit in front to the tv and watch old movies or something. We don't have much of our Christmas Vacation left and I want to relax while I can.

I can't help wondering if I should talk to him. I'm just.. I'm not wrong, right? That girl insisted it was nothing, but it seemed like.. I mean you don't call a girl you are just friends with sexy, do you? Not in that context.
I just.. I don't know. He's apologizing and I really wanna believe him, but what if Abby really is right? What if he's just after.. I mean, not that I would. I don't intend to.
I don't know what to do.
