Friends

so it is fairly possible that my fever is talking here, I'm comming down with strep throat...or a really bad cold, but a dream I had while taking a nap today gave me an....enlightenment...( not sure if that is the word) on how my current wonderful friend group works....the games we play around each other and overall just the amount of lieing it takes to make it in this friend group....and starting today....I am changing how the game is played. I don't care if everyone else in the world lies to people, telling versions of the truth to make the listener sympathetic or not mad, I refuse to play this game anymore. I am warning everyone now that from now on I am going to be honest...truly honest, no half truths no versions of the facts with everyone. and I am going to expect the same from everyone else. I know that while reading this a couple of thoughts could be crossing your mind, Katie is going crazy again it will pass, I , personally, know she does not know what I have done, or that you have done nothing at all.....I want you to know that I am not going to judge people. Its true that I personally think it is stupid to smoke, drink and do drugs...I do not see the point in these actions...but if I find out that you are lieing to me...I am going to call you out on it. and I am going to re-evaluate the friendship thing. Because its a simple concept to be truthful to your friend. We all have known each other long enough where it should be no problem to say the truth to everyone's faces. I'm not saying I was not playing the same game. I admit to not stating the whole truth to people because I thought they could not handle it or I did not want to deal with their reaction. but I am going to mend this fault about myself. and I am not going to allow people to treat me like the tag a long friend that is so innocent, and cannot take the truth. Just a reminder, I am 19 years old and I have seen people do all of the actions you all seem to think that I am so incapable of processing. so as a clarification, what I am trying to say is this, I am going to be honest from now on with everyone and I expect honesty in return. I refuse to be that friend that you laugh about with your other friends. I refuse to be manipulated into thinking that I suck as a friend because people cannot handle the fact that even though I do have my strong beliefs about the issues above I am not forcing them on my friends. If that was the case, If I truly would stop being your friend after you have done the above things...NONE of you would be reading this journal because I would have stopped being friends with all of you. Think about it. So I am done playing this weird, messed up game of half truths and talking behind people's back. I'm over the high school way of dealing with problems.

A NEW ROOM

so I know I have not been posting lately but I have been commenting for the most part.....anyway, so here we go with another full post.

Synopsis: I woke up this morning wishing....hoping....slightly praying for it to be too cold outside and GVSU to call of classes....no such luck however so I started my day with my SOC class at 8:30a.m......and then went straight to my PSY 325 class......then I came back....very cold and talked to Alyssa.....hmmmm......then we decided that we needed a change in our room....but we couldn't do it then and the plan was to wait until the parents came up...mom's picking me up tomorrow. anyway, so I started to stuff my stuff in my closet so we could move the furniture tomorrow and then went to WRT 305......After that class which by the way was a waste of my time...in fact I am starting to think the class is a waste....I came home and well....one thing led to another and Alyssa and I decided we couldn't wait so we switched around our room...I won't describe the new set up because it will take too long but pictures are on facebook on Alyssa's page....anyway that took up most of the evening....then we made...well actually Alyssa made Alfredo for dinner and then Grey's came on...which was a really good episode....and then here I sit on the internet....

Future: I'm going home for the weekend and then after that who knows what plans I am going to be doing....

Thought: Alright so here is my thought.....hmmmm....not sure what to write here.....oh I could tell you about the art Alyssa and I found in our room. When we move the furniture this drawing which is pretty darn good, surpasses the talent we have, was found underneath our couch....a picture is provided on facebook and if anyone knows who is the artist let us know and if we are suppose to have it.....Lauren I have to admit we are thinking that it is yours since you are the artist of the group...anyway that is all I have today.

I will try to write more.....I can't promise everyday but I will try at least once a week.  : )

A Book

so I have like three hours in between my first class of the day and my second on Mondays and so today I had some time on my hands and after making a trip to the bookstore for some last min textbook shopping I decided to read this book that I bought on a whim called Me and Emma. This book by Elizabeth Flock has done something that I have not encountered in a long time, it hit me square in the heart. I mean I felt for Carrie and her sister Emma all the way to the end. It is an amazing book, but will definitely make you want to kill a few characters. The last book I read that made me feel like this was My Sister's Keeper  but even though they are both about sisters their theme and story line is very different. So I am writing this post to say that if you have  some time to read (If school is not kicking you butt) then I suggest to give time to this book. It changed my look on life as a whole. Thats all for now.
Might write later about my first day back.

This is my second post....

ok so since the first one is being reported as a sucess I think I might keep doing this until ethier I forget to or it starts to get boring.

keeping with the same format as before:

Katie's synopsis:

So today I woke up around 11am which felt SO good because it was the first time in a long time I was able to sleep in. : ) and so I started off by heading downstairs for some breakfast which I had toaster french toast (its from eggo) any way and watched some T.V with my roomates.....Then I decided that instead of studying I should take a nap...it was short only an hour or so but I figured the day needed to starts instead of the usual one. I then recieved a call from Jenna in which case we talked for like ten minutes I think and then I thought it best to start studing. but did I study? no. I thought best to take a shower first and then I thought well I should clean the bathroom because we are going to want to come back to a clean one after break so by the time I did all that.....I was hungry again so Alyssa and I went on a search for food after a slight detour to Brian's Books where I turned in my soc book. So our first stop was Kirkhoff because we really didn't want to walk far but it turns out that the place is closed now.... : (....so then we decided to go to fuel.....which was closed as well...: ( so our last choice was Fresh which was open but the food was not the best I mean yes they did have the amazing French Fries but there was no substance that I could eat because the main course was some weird club sandwich that had stuff on it that well...I don't like....so I ended up eating french fries and a cresuant....which was very good but does not rank well with the best meal award....so we are eating our food and just as we were about to finish Kristy walks in all alone and asks if she can sit with us...we of course say yes and what does she come back with after hunting for food? Mashed Potatoes!!!! I asked where she got them and she said Grand Traditions had opened so of course I had to go get some....and Alyssa did too!!! : ) After eating I helped Alyssa put her stuff by the door and also pack her Aunt's car when her Aunt came to pick her up. Next I went to take my last exam which was Soc that I never found time to study for today but it was only a test, our final was a paper that I had already turned in. so then I came home to my now empty apartment and am typing this.

Katie's Future:

I plan on watching Grey's tonight. Should be a good one while eating some sort of food. I have yet to decide if I am going popcorn or candy...might have to just go both...then finish packing and get a good night rest...I leave at 10a.m to head towards home with two other people, Kristy and Liz, and also two fish, Ameris and Nike..... : ) After being home I am going to hang out with my Lizzy and maybe finish up some christmas presents....we shall see.

Katie's Thought:

My last thought caused sucha stir I decided to go lighter this evening and go with the topic of packing. I do not know if any of you girls and guys are having the same problem as me but I feel like I need to take home pratically everything in my dorm to my house for winter break. I mean I have tried to make a list of what I absolutely cannot live without so that I do not overpack and well the stupid list is so long that if I pack the list it will be overpacking. Plus I have one bug to fit my stuff, Kristy's and Liz's....and I have to have three seats open....it is really going to be a challenge. I already sent to bags with Alyssa because I knew it would be impossible to fit what I had into Sophie and still have room for the other girls. So yeah thats my thought for now.

so
