first weekend

so for my 3rd post of the day...i figured i should update y'all on my love life. so....2 dates, one good, one good/bad, and a whole lot of confusing feelings. :S

Date #1
with CSR. sigh. and now i'm confused. see....he pretty much thinks he's okay (at least this is what i think he's thinking...) b/c he warned me that he was going to be busy and what not, and so he picked right up where we left off. so...at the end of the date, he made it a point to tickle me (what's up with that?) AND he gave me a really good hug with an extra squeeze...what the??? urgh. he better call and ask me out again, or else i'm going to be really confused.

Date #2
with a guy that i met a couple of weeks ago. i was really friendly and nice, he was easy to talk to, and then i realized he was probably getting the wrong idea and probably thought i liked him. which i don't. at all. in fact, i thoroughly never want to see this young man again, for a date. he's a great friend, but that's it. but i think he thinks he likes me. so now the next time he calls i have to kindly reject him.

anyways...life right now kind of sucks, well, only where boys in utah are concerned. i love a boy in iowa, but he doesn't come home until july, and that is home to portland, not home to me. so someday i will see him again, and we shall see if anything will come of it. until then...i am so single it isn't even funny.

I forgot

what it is like to be living without internet access. i hate it. granted, i still have my compy, but with the house running on wireless and my old compy not having wireless capabilities....life stinks. i can't sit at home and waste time...i have to be on campus to do that. which is one place i don't want to be...but here i am because i want to check my email and all that jazz. sigh.

the good news is that this gives me a really good excuse to buy a new compy. which i am 90% sure i will do this weekend with my daddy. i will post later when that happens.

in other news, i am all moved in, finals are over, and the summer has begun. HURRAH!!! I found out this past monday that i have been offered a scholarship for summer term, half tuition, but i think i'll take it...this is part of the reason why i will buy a new compy...so i can take acc. 200. :)

went out to lunch with CSR today. his idea. it was fun to catch up on each others' lives and what not. we'll see what happens. :) i also have a date tonight with another friend. that should be fun...at least, i hope it will. and that my friends, is all for now. be prepared for more posts, as summer begins so does working full time...and that means life will be slightly boring for the next few months. bring it on i say, bring it on.

the end has come

of my Junior year of College. How strange it is to think that I have been here in P-Town for 3 years. Living, working, schooling, dating....etc. How crazy to think that in 2 years I can graduate from college. I am aging. Soon, I will be an adult in the real world.

Then why do I so often feel like I am still a little kid????

Friday, April 13, 2007

again with the horoscope...

today, my horoscope is right on...again. what are the chances that two days in a row its a good one? i find it highly entertaining... :D

You have probably been thinking about changing the way you eat and just generally living a healthier life-style, Alicia. Becoming a vegetarian, quitting smoking, getting more exercise, etc. Today is a perfect day to make this kind of decision in your life. You will be able to stick to it, unlike a few months ago. You can count on yourself to make it work!

my horoscope for today

while i don't live by these things, i think they're fun to get and see maybe what 'the stars' think i should do. lol. and actually....today's is really good and i should listen to it. we'll see if i do however. :D

My Horoscope:
Today is a day to be more practical with your actions, Alishka. Solidify your purpose and try not to get swayed off course by other people's objectives. Be conscious of how you spend your energy. The key to making this day successful is maintaining a realistic attitude about everything that you need to accomplish. This may be hard to do considering your dreamy, laid-back attitude, but for certain, you need to bring things back down to earth.

musings of alishka

  • musing one: the semester is nearing its close and like always i don't have any motivation to do homework, study, or any of that nonsense that college students do. i just like to play!
  • musing two: boys really are stupid and its been decided that anyone that can't treat me right or give me the attention i deserve isn't good enough for me and to not date someone for that reason is okay by me.
  • musing three: missionary bob comes home in 3 1/2 months. am i excited? i would be lying if i said no. although the lack of a letter for the past couple of weeks is unsettling after the content of his last letter to me.
  • musing four: two weeks from tomorrow i move out of ST and on to a new life in a really cute house south of campus. am i excited? again, i would be lying if I said no. Although I'll miss my friends, roommates, and ward of ST I am very much ready for change.
  • musing five: i have ambitious goals for staying in shape this summer. Hopefully I can stay on top of said goals so i can make BSC next fall. :D
