Long Time, No See

Hello lovers! Sorry that I've been MIA. There's been a lot going on since my last post! So I'll do my best to fill you all in! SO Spring Break came and went, far too fast in my opinion. It was a great, well deserved break. I got to go visit my 2 best friends at OSU, we just hung out and watched movies and they showed me around their campus. Then I went home, and it was so nice being there, being I hadn't been home since Christmas Break, which is just insane! I haven't ever gone that long without being home, luckily it wasn't entirely without seeing my family, if you remember my mom and sister came up to see me for my birthday. And I get to go home next week for Easter! I can't believe this semester is moving quite this fast. Anyways, I spent my Spring Break hanging out with my friends and laying out, cause in true unconventional Ohio weather it was like high 70s all week. I got some great color. Also, I got to spend time with my DVR, and catch up with shows I missed. I always have a checklist for breaks: People to Spend Time With, Place To Go, and Things to Do, and of course! My DVR list is always extremely important! Cause school is just so stressful so it's nice not to have to worry about what shows I'm missing. Honestly, Spring Break is just not long enough, but here's my week at a glance:

Friday: OSU, Sloopy's for dinner & tour of campus

Saturday: OSU, watched Sleeping Beauty & Teen Witch

Sunday: Church, lay out, Applebee's

Monday: Rain, DVR, Doctor's, and visiting with a friend

Tuesday: lay out, hospital with my mom

Wednesday: Pi Day (Mark Pi's for dinner, Chocolate Creme Pie, French Silk Pie Blizzard), lay out and hang out with another friend

Thursday: Rain, DVR, watch Vampire Diaries with my friend

Friday: visit the high school, March Madness at BW3's

Saturday: St. Patrick's Day, lay out, hang out with 2 friends

Sunday: Church, DVR

Monday: Doctor's & lunch with my mom, then drove back to school

Of course, I took my books and homework home over break and of course forgot all about them, including my tests and projects. And of course, ever since coming back from break I've been working on trying to stay on top of all of my classes, but school is nearly impossible when you're a procrastinator. And I procrastinate hardcore.

With only a week until Easter, I realize I didn't do that good with my Lent promises or whatever you call them. I was equally as nice as I was mean, which is good. I sucked at the no swearing, I was good for awhile but then I kinda sucked at it. I did alright with the Bible readings. Mainly the Psalms and I started Mark, dang! Oh well, there's always next year. And I did flawlessly last year. So whatever. It's the thought that counts right?

Justin Bieber came out with a new song! "Boyfriend" I had a hard time not laughing the first few times, but the song, like Call Me Maybe, definitely grows on you, and of course! I can't not love it!

So besides all this, I've been anxious with all of my school work, and thinking about next year, where I'm gonna live, how I'm gonna pay for it, and my class schedule. It's I Week for my sorority, but more on that later. Everyday, it's just becomes more and more apparent that I'm an adult. Like whoa! My mom is always here to help, but she really can't do everything for me anymore, which is just a weird thought.

Happy I Week!

Make Kony Famous

The first time I heard of the Invisible Children and the problems in Uganda and Africa alike, was a few years ago, in an episode of 7th Heaven. It was quite the episode, and I remember then wanting to do something... But of course, after a few weeks, I forgot about the importance of this issue. It wasn't that this wasn't important it's just that I got swept up in my own life, and the melodrama that came with being a teenager.

I woke up today, and checked my Twitter, like I always do. The majority of it was hashtagging: #StopKony #MakeKonyFamous #Kony2012. Naturally, I didn't exactly know what it was, but I knew it was big and extremely important! So I retweeted it, sending it out from the people I follow, to my followers, knowing that when I had time between classes I would watch the video everyone was talking about. When I watched this video today, I knew I wouldn't forget about the Invisible Children again. Of course, I cried throughout the whole film. Then afterwards, when it had fully sunk in, I cried even more.This is such an inspiring movement! And it's so very important! The fact that something horrible like this could go on for so long! And nothing has truly been down, is disgusting! [Just for those who actually watched 7th Heaven, this episode was back when Ruthie & Peter were in junior high and got left at the zoo.] Jacob talking about his brother is heart wrenching! I couldn't imagine losing my sister, I may not always like her, but I'll always LOVE her!

After retweeting, and posting it to my Facebook wall. And honestly just repeatedly talking about it over and over again. I was faced with someone who didn't see the significance. She called it another bandwagon trend. Something people were doing, because others were... My initial thought was, so what?! The point is to bring Kony into the mainstream. Make you question it, make you look him up. The more people talking, no matter their reason is important. She went on to say how it didn't effect us so why did it matter. It may not be an American issue, but it is a human being issue, and isn't that what ultimately matters? She made a valid point of how America gets involved when we're not wanted and sometimes not needed and then we get flack for it. But my thought and what I told her was, This is too important not to care about, and get involved in! Because honestly, I agree, sometimes America gets involved too often and too fast, but this isn't an issue where that matters. Joseph Kony is a bad man, that deserves to be brought down, no matter who has to get involved! And the goal is 2012! And I think it can happen!
