Spring Break has been fun so far, even though one of my favorite people is skiing in Utah for the break.
I'm visiting colleges Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday. The colleges I'm visiting are:

Auburn

Belhaven

Samford

U of M

I'm looking forward to it.
Hopefully it'll quench my thirst of getting out of town for a little.
Belhaven called me earlier today. I missed it, and when I called back I left a message that consisted of tripping over words, the word "uh", and my giving only my first name.

Brilliant, Samantha.

So....

Whoa!

Escapism

I wish I had a mystical island I could disappear to.

...I daydream too much.

Ahem. So Spring Break is coming up. My plans=...nothing. Uhm, good.

I want to travel.

See new things.

Experience new places.

Meet new people.

Well, I think what I really want is an a d v e n t u r e.

Because, for right now, I'm not sure I'm satisfied with Easy-Going.

Here's the deal:

I finally got cable back today! I need to catch up on LOST and The Office now.

So...while I disappeared for a short time I moved. It's kinda hard to get used to. I can't wait to get my room fixed up, but the sad things is that I'll only be in it for a year and a half. Oh well.
I've also managed to get sick. Blah.

Play practice is making me tired. Play practice plus sickness doesn't lead to anything pleasant. During school days I'm trying to learn something and to not fall asleep. And sadly, since I'm walking through school in a daze, one of my relationships has diminished slightly. I wish I could make the person understand that I can't constantly be animated and think everything's so exciting when I can hardly think..... Sigh. It's complicated and I don't feel in the mood for ranting right now.

I bought a book from my Spanish teacher, Mr. Shockley. It's a collection of poems by Robert Frost. I'm excited about it!

I've begun to realize my junior year is slipping between my fingers. Everyone told me this would happen. When this year started I thought that's what I wanted. I wanted this year to fly by. Now I'm not so sure.

Well, I took some NyQuil earlier and it's starting to work.

Solid.

An interesting idea.

One day I was reading and stumbled across this:

Miss McCleethy shakes her head thoughtfully.

"True progress can only happen when there is safety first."

"What if safety...is only an illusion?" I say, thinking aloud.

"What if there is no such thing?"

"Then we fall. Chaos," says Miss McCleethy, annoyed with my questions.

"What if that is only the beginning of something new? What if, once we let go, we are freed?"

"Would you take that chance, Miss Doyle?"

Thoughts?

Retrospection one

It's Christmas time again already. I can't believe what's happened this year. I'm going to be honest and say: there are a number of things I would've done differently. But I can't change my past. That has been one of the most important lessons I've learned.

I've changed and I like it.

"I guess that's what happens in the end, you start thinking about the beginning."

A lot of things have changed since this time last year. I'm grateful. Its something I can't explain and it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to tell someone how I got to this point. A person would not think the road I just stepped off of, chapter I just ended, would lead to this state of mind.

I'm no longer sticking to the main roads that are now becoming unfamiliar to me;

I'm exploring the wilderness. I'm not confined to the bound pages of books anymore; I'm

writing on anything that'll get my thoughts in smudges of ink down.

I'm looking forward to this new season because it's only just started. I'm interested in seeing what I'll find and what will happen.

Questions

I have questions.

How do you know when you've found the One for you?
Do you know right away?
At what point in the relationship does a person fall in love and not just have a crush on this person anymore?

These questions have been on my mind. I hope someone shares his answers.
