It's glorious Friday, and it looks like we're in for rain this weekend. I hope we get some heavy thunderstorms. :heart: Few things are quite so nice for writing or for studying....all of my finals begin soon. ^^;

I have almost all the paperwork ready to be tested for Huntington's. It's been gripping at my mind this week, but once again, I'm not sure if I'm ready to know.  I'm hiding behind the excuse of my upcoming finals...which I haven't really studied for yet....and the projects that I need to finish.

It varies from day to day. This week felt pretty awful, but I now have the promise of a writer's conference in July once I finish my summer classes. :heart: While it's a Christian Writer's Conference and I've never been to one before, I'm really excited to meet a dear friend of mine who's been a candle-buddy and a good friend for a number of years at the Conference. We'd also be camping again-camping! I haven't been for years!-under the stars in New York. New York...I've never been to the state. I hope the weather's nice. I hope the people are nice. My family is excited for me to go-I'm acting more "adult" by taking my own trips. :) I need to start making flight arrangements and pay my registration fee.....

Soon, it will be time to pack up all my stuff and move once again. Yuck. I'll be staying at school for summer, but there's a two week break before the summer session starts, so I hope I can travel to Chicago in that span.  I miss my friends.

Ah, my head is starting to hurt. I've been listening to this haunting rendition of 'The Hanging Tree' on Youtube.  I started to read The Hunger Game Trilogy only when my teacher made me read the first book....the books aren't my favorite, but they're definitely gripping. I think I have some weird vendetta against new, popular hits....I've been hearing some fabulous things about this My Little Pony thing, but I absolutely refuse to watch it or find anything about it. I'm incredibly closed-minded.

Worried about a friend of mine who's having some home troubles. D:

Looks like I'm staying with Elementary Education, but I'm sure as square that I am NOT TEACHING SCHOOL IN GEORGIA. NO. I miss the North. Okay, maybe it's kind of cool that it's normally so nice out, but my family in insane, and I think once Julia and Kyle leave Illinois, I'll move back, take the exam so that I'm clear to work in Illinois, and wait until my old hometown's elementary school has an opening. :heart: :heart:

Or, I move to another state entirely. Who knows?

Yeah, not much to say. Going back to killing mind with cartoons.

I've missed our friendly, little conversations we used to have every now and then. Life seems to be hitting us both hard, huh? I'm going through some rough times of deciding where I want to be in life (that and my depression still. But I don't like talking about that. XP). I'm glad you're moving forward though. It's good to always keep going.

OMG, New York?!?! :D :la: If you actually go, say "hi" to the turtles for me. :XD: :squee:

I tried reading the Hunger Games. It was a bit too much for me. Apparently, my anxiety couldn't handle it. :XD: Oh well, maybe I'll try again in a year or so.

I've kept you in my prayers all these times. I pray everyday for you. I'll pray for your results as well now. I believe God will keep you safe Lauren. That He will keep us both safe.

BTW, love your new journal skin. It's very pretty and pink. :heart:

Keep your head up darling. Pray for me too, okay? I hope to talk to you more soon. :huggle:
