There is snow...not just snow flittering through the air...but snow...on the ground! Trucking across campus now includes having the icey cold needles of death also known as wind scrap all destinguishing marks from your face. Soon we'll all be bare-faced frozen popsicle-people.

Wow, I'm getting old. I keep hearing all this talk about people getting married and people moving across the country and people making big life decisions and these are people MY AGE! Freaky! And my younger friends are suddenly adults now.....I'm barely used to being an adult myself. So basically...I don't know what I want to do with my life yet, I don't know who I want to marry, I don't know where I'm going to live...and THAT'S OKAY because I'm only 19 for frickin' goodness sake!

It rained! It rained and now all of my beautiful leaves are gone! Well...not all of the leaves, but I am exagerating in my distress. I'm not ready for this....this cold...grey....ugly weather. I do not accept! I do however salute the trees who managed to hang out to most of their leaves. I dedicate this post to them and would like to thank them for all of their hard work.

Spent the weekend with Jess and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! I love being out in the country. Someday I need to live on a long winding road with hills and fields and my house needs to something big and old with character and a big wrap around porch with a swing and I will spend my sunday afternoons swinging on that swing on that wrap around porch with my hubby looking out over the fields and down the long winding road.....yep, that sounds pretty perfect to me.

Word spell check has spoiled me.....I can't spell things right on my own anymore....

I make one of these from time to time to remind myself of the great things in life!

RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD!!!!!!

This amazing piece of artwork was created by the amazing Jillian Bailey in honor of the adorable/unbearably boring old man who spoke to our Government class about…honestly I have no idea what the man was talking about, but he was a really cute Grandpa kind of fellow. Anyway, it made me smile, and I wanted to share it with you all! This picture is so great, someone needs to make T-shirts!

This is how you know someone is your best friend: Even when they frustrate you, they are still the friend you want to run to and tell about it. Even if you want to scream at them, they are still the friend you want to hold you while you cry about it. Even if they're the last person you want to see, you still need to see their face to know you're okay.

Feeling frustrated in general about life...and I need my best friend right now.

I have never been the average college student. I never sleep till noon. I did today though. Slept till 12:30 actually....and it felt dang good, lol. Last night was homecoming. It was a great time with my girls whom I love and adore like no other. I have pictures of course:

Here's a cute one of the ladies!

And here are Lisa, Laura, and Mandy "dancing", lol

And of course no event is complete without a cute picture of Sary and myself :)

"Hey! Nothing is wrong with prancing around like a fairy, okay? You are obligated to have your prancings as a fairy"

That's my roommate ladies and gentlemen....go ahead, applaud.

If you set a glass plate on the stove and you accidently turn that burner on instead of the one you put the kettle on, eventually that plate will explode/shatter into thousands of pieces all over the kitchen....

......It's true. Just ask Dad.

Seriously, my body is failing me....I think I'm dying....this is it...I see a light at the end of a tunnel and it's trying to suck me in! Yesterday my arm tried to kill me and stop any sort of normal functioning without excruciating pain and now I think my body hates me....I know my uterus does....OWWWW! I should buy stock in advil liqui-gells......they're making a pretty penny off of me!

1) I have the greatest best friend in the whole world!
2) I need to always keep my eyes open for the hurting and the lonely.
3) I need to love on people even if they don't seem like they need it.
4) I have been beyond blessed with the amazing relationships I have in my life.
5) I need to be kept accountable.
and last but not least....
6) My life is pretty darn good.....I need to be very thankful!

Everyone talks about how SAU is where you get your MRS degree and how everyone hooks up here and although I always knew it to be true, I never really cared because all last year I was close with people who were single. There were just a few of my close friends who were in relationships so I didn't really feel pressured to find someone. Suddenly everyone is pairing of...it's weird. I'll never be that flirty girl who throws herself at guys, thank God, and although you'd think that there would be tons of great christian guys at a christian school....there aren't, lol, lets be honest. It's freaky to realize how old we are now.....I'm almost 20...HOLY CRAP that sounds so old to me. You don't just "date" any more.....we're getting to the age where people date with the future in mind.....IT FREAKS ME OUT MAN! I think that throws me off. I'll start to pursue something and then I'll get freaked out. I need to relax. I need to just have fun. I need to just.....enjoy being 19 and single while I can because before I know it....this freedom will be gone. FREEDOM IS MINE!!!!!!! Lol.

It was a beautiful fall day and my friend Amber and I decided to celebrate it by going to the drive-in, one of my very favorite activities! We had a great time talking on the way there and getting to know each other and the movies were both good and we had alot of fun.

So, the movies are over and we go to leave.....but the car won't start....great. So we pray over the car and try again....nothing. Amber asks this kind of grumpy guy to jump our car and he did and we were on our way "in a timely manner", lol, which is what Amber prayed for.

So then we're driving home a different way because we think it will be faster and we start talking about when we've been pulled over by the cops and our tickets and I was telling her about how I'm nervous right now because my back tail-light is cracked and I only had enough tape left to cover part of it and we joked about how the night would be complete if i got pulled over.

Seriously not even two minutes later there is this jerk right on my butt and I'm getting frustrated because his lights are really bright and then....."whoo whoo whoo" and flashing lights....NO WAY! So we're freaking out and Mr. Copper tells me that my back tail-light is cracked...shocker....and I give him my license and registration and tell him I'm sorry and I'll get it fixed. I think he thought I was drunk or something because he asked if I had a suspended license or anything and after he did the check on my license he quized me on my birthdate and asked me where I was going and where I was from.....We weren't even 5 min from school. OH MY GOSH!!!! Of course being me and being a girl I felt compelled to tell him all about our night and I think I told him a little too much because he seemed annoyed...but whatever.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the night can only go up hill from here.....wow

P.s. I broke a couple of my nails trying to get the stupid latch for the hood of my car to jump it....OUCH!

A word to the wise......If you haven't eaten beef in 7 years......don't eat the chilly!!!

So I was walking around campus and looking around as I strolled up to the big oak tree and it just struck me how beautiful this place it. I looked around and there were people laying out on blankets studying, people walking around talking and laughing, a guy sitting on a bench playing his guitar and singing to a small audience he had acquired. It was peaceful and serene and I was reminded how much I love this place and how blessed I am to be here. I never thought that in high school. I never looked around and thought ‘Wow, this place is so beautiful and I love it here’. In high school it was more like ‘Hey look at that girl over there eating her boyfriends face and wow the bathroom really smells like weed today’. I’m pretty lucky to be here.

Tonight I would like to discuss how much I love my amazing roomate. I LOVE Jill! I love dancing around the room with her. *Music makes me lose control* I love talking to her about the random-ness of life. I love that she is equally annoyed by the same things/people I am. I love that she cuts up all of her shirts and wears funny clothes out in public. I love doing Jazzercise with her and riding back with our heads out the window. I love our Den runs. I love watching the O.C. with her and that she gets into it like I do. I love that we love the same music and movies. I love how she laughs at me when I'm trying to be funny, but am not succeeding. I love that she laughs at me when i'm not trying to be funny. I love how hilarious she is. Basically I love to laugh with her, at her, or be laughed at by her. I love quoting Anchorman with her. I love singing Jason Mraz with her. Basically, ladies and gentlemen, I just adore Jillian Tremonti and am so thankful she is my roomate this year.

And this is only after a few weeks of school....just think how fond of her I will be after a whole year! It will be ridiculous. Songs will be written, people will write books about it. Goodnight all.

Had a very good time in the windy city! It was really busy and we did a million b'gillion things and got very little chill/sleep time, but it was great. I loved spending big chunks of time Jilly and Sary since they are two of my very favorite people in this world! We made new friends too! Matt, Danly, and Josh were the "lucky" winners who got to sit in the back of the van with us and although I think we annoyed them at first, we won them over with our charms and great knowledge of Anchorman quotes, lol. They kept us laughing and we kept them rolling their eyes and I love Chicago. It's amazing how there can be such beautiful things so close to so much ugliness. It was a really good trip.

Here's a picture of us girls:                                              And here's one of the guys:

Some of the art around the city was so amazing:

I got artsy with my camera on the L-Train:

Good Times :)

I feel different, but content. I think this summer being at camp made me more of an introvert....which is weird....because I'm Seana and people just don't associate the name Seana with the word introvert. I'm supposed to be super outgoing and bubbly and woo-hoo-ey and such, but seriously, most of the time I just wanna chill with my roomate or with a close friend one on one. Problem is that I hate to be out of the loop. I like to be in on the action when I'm in the action. So that's a problem. You can't keep your spot in line without actually being in the line.....Hmmmmm.....elementary school wisdom is coming back to haunt me.

Life is good though. I'm happy and I love the way my schedule is right now. I love not working on Tuesday and Thursday and then I'm so happy to go to work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday cause I miss the kids and now Tuesday and Thursdays are kind of like Jilly and Seana days which is so fun. We do Jazzercise (which i am now in love with and addicted to) and then we hang out. Thursday's are a beautiful thing with only one class and no work.....heavenly! So far classes are WAY too easy which scares me cause its too good to be true and I know that soon its all going to explode! I know now more then ever that I have the best friend in the world and am so so blessed. Basically, although I'm struggling with not wanting to be anti-social but wanting to do what I want to do, life is so good.

And I'm going to Chicago this weekend :) BONUS!

THIS JUST IN: Facebook is taking over the SAU campus! Myspace has been brutally slaughtered without any warning and livejournal is no where to be found! Facebook's army is growing at a rapid pace and leaving no one behind!

I'm sorry LJ.....I didn't want you to find out this way.....
