For the first time since, I believe, the ninth grade, I have received an email survey. Shall I fill it out? Oh yes… Oh yes I will.

Who was the last person…

Have you/are you/do you…
– Considered a life of crime? Besides stealing hershey’s kisses from friends? No.

– Anxiety? Not too much.
– Depressed? Naw… Every day’s a good day.

– Current Mood: Stressed about tomorrow. Lots of homework to do. Editing the video at 8:00 AM. Finishing this PowerPoint presentation before tonight’s end. Confused about my friendship with Nick. Missing Ryan, wishing he would be here tomorrow instead of Sunday. Leah, too. I miss her daily involvement in my life. Stephanie–come home soon! I want Erin to be home for Christmas, but God has her learning in Australia. Alex and Nathan–Medford friends who will always have a special place in my heart. I’m in love with the family of friends I have. I wish my brother was still awake so we can wrestle, joke, and laugh with each other while constantly reminding ourselves to be quiet because we don’t want to wake mom and dad. I wish I was talking to Jetchick on the phone, telling him about my love for Christmas trees. Lastly, I’m longing for Wednesday night, when all this will be over and I can welcome home my lovely friends…
