You take very little attention and maintenance in order to be stunning. Your personallity is amazing and you leave others in awe. The downside is that others are often intimidated by you and they will shy away. When you break loose a storm is sure to follow. Often you are a sign of rain and so many look to you with hope of the life that you can rejuvinate.

So yeah.... things have been kind of crazy lately. Lots of stuff going on. work, school, clubs, AZ, family/friends... its been crazy.

Not really in a writing mood at the moment, so I don't really have much to say... mayhap I'll update later when I feel more like writing...

have fun!

Ta!

LOVE!!!
~Laura

where was the passion when you need it the most?

2006-09-08T22:34:27Z

So it's been quite a while since I've updated LJ... Let's see...

~Went to Mass. with Richardd intending to go to Boston Pops by the sea and ending up going to the beach because it was sold out before it was supposed to. We were upset at first, but we made the most of it. We ended up having a lot of fun at the beach, so it was worth the trip.
~Finished working at the clinic. Hooray! I hated working there because my supervisor acted like she was bipolar. Not so much fun.
~Got Mono. woohoo. it presented as a sore throat and headache, which turned into my throat swelling to the point where I couldn't swallow and me spending three days at DHMC being pumped full of IV fluids, steroids (to bring down the swelling) and antibiotics (to prevent secondary infections). But I'm better now. This also caused me to arrive at school the day that classes started, a week later than I had planned. Oh well.
~Started classes. Only 14 credits this year because of the mono. I'm taking Organic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry Lab, Animal Nutrition, Meat Science, and Animal Welfare (they give us free supper!) Classes are going well thus far. Let's hope that it stays that way.
~Got a new job working in the small farms office. it's going really well, which makes me happy.
~Richard went to school, yay! He's having a good time and classes are going well so far. We find time to talk as much as we can, which has been close to every night even if it's only for a few minutes. I get to see him again at the beginning of October, which is good.
~Got elected secretary of the small farms club, woo!
~I've been cooking dinner with my friends here at Eco, which has definately been a learning experience, lol. We're all still alive and fully functional, so we must not be doing to bad of a job.

Weeeelllll, I think that's about it...
much love to everyone!

*MUAH*
~Laura

so, it's been a while...

2006-06-25T20:45:10Z

well, um, I haven't updated in a really long time... like, a month or so.

I've been working full time, which has been good for my bank account. I'm planning on going to Maine and then Cape Cod with Richard the last week of July, not that either of our families really knows that yet :-D

I'm working at Wendell Veterinary Clinic in Sunapee, NH, which for all of my WRJ friends is why I really haven't seen anyone... I work from 8 AM to 6 PM and its a 50 minute drive from Sunapee to WRJ, so it's hard to get up there as much as I'd like to.

It's been good working at WVC, as it is showing me that I want to be a vet less and less every day. I'm really starting to think that teaching may be where my future lies, but I'm not sure. We shall see. Hopefully next summer will be my opportunity to see whether teaching is something I'm truly suited to or not.

I brought home two kittens from WVC who had reached the end of their viable shelf life. They're black and white and sooooo cute! We named them Bonnie and Clyde and they're to go with me as soon as I live somewhere that I can keep cats. The only problem with them is that they like to drink the water out of my fish bowls, so I have to keep a screen rubber-banded to the tops of the bowls. Right now Clyde is curled up in my lap, purring. :-D

Still working on cleaning my room and moving things so that they'll be where I can find them to bring them back to school in August. I'm really kind of in a weird kind of place, emotionally. I feel like I don't really belong at home anymore, but I really don't want to go back to college and leave Richard. So I'm in an in-between place that I'm not really fond of, personally. Oh well.

I'm not online often at all, so call me if you want to get in touch :)
P.S. Hailley, I owe you a phone call- expect it sometime soon, perhaps monday a little after 9

wOOt, home!

2006-05-30T02:37:53Z

Sooo... I've been home for a little over a week...
sorry if I haven't seen people yet- I've been busy cleaning my room !!! Still not done, though I've been working on it for quite a few days. It'll get done. I threw out a lot of junk and am getting rid of a lot more junk, etc. I'm also organizing, so that I'll know roughly where everything is. Should be interesting...

I start work tomorrow morning at 8 at the Wendell Veterinary Clinic. I'll be working full-time, which will be nice, aside from the my-schedule-is-almost-exactly-completely-opposite-from-Richard's part... oh well. We'll make it, we have this far. It'a a 40-45 minute drive, which isn't that bad. I'll be leaving the house at 7 am to get there on time, working (hopefully) monday, tuesday, thursday, friday and saturday, so I'll have sunday and wednesday off. That'll be nice.

Other than that, not much is new.... *shrug*

See everyone later!!!
*HUGS*

~Laura

I didn't think I'd feel this way...

2006-05-16T02:56:40Z

So I'm realizing that it's incredibly weird that I'm not going to be here for too much longer, and that I'm going to be packing all of my belongings up into boxes and bags and relocating back home. It's a very strange feeling, and it seems like just a few weeks ago that I moved in here. I hate the feeling of moving, relocating after I've gotten to a point where I feel this accustomed to my surroundings. It's weird to feel as though I'm leaving my room, which has been mine and only mine for the past eight months and going back to a room that's mine only in that I sleep there. There is absolutely nothing keeping people from going through my room except for their word that they wont. I feel so displaced. I'm leaving so many friends and going home to other friends, but it will never be the same again. It's so strange.

*sigh*

I don't know what to think, really. I don't belong at home anymore- I need to have my own place in the world, to be able to leave my mark on the world, my own "I was here and did something important" stamp. And I don't know how to do that. I feel like something's not quite right, and I'm not sure what it is. Not in my personal life, but academically. I need to reassess where I'm headed with my life, and try to figure out where I'm headed with it.

I need to run. To fly away, somehow.

~Laura

P.S. Don't worry, I'll land back in your arms :-* I love you so much

cries

2006-05-15T03:06:06Z

tomorrow is going to suck. BIG TIME

Reason why, you may ask? My chem final. My passing the class is contingent upon me passing this exam. And unfortunately, it's NOT looking promising.

I am so not looking forward to it, and I really just want to curl up in a ball and cry until it all goes away. This is why it's good that the school year is almost over.

I go home in just over 5 days.

*shakey breath*
I can make it. I hope

I'm on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and it's not looking good.

I have just recently been struck with wanderlust, though I've known for a while that I need to spend a summer away from home, living on my own. not this summer, but the next. I don't know where I'll go, but I know I need to. any suggestions as to where I should go?

I need to run away, to know what it's like to have to really do with just a little, to know what it's like to have to support myself completely.

I feel so strange :-/

*sigh*
~Laura

P.S. I love you & miss you so much

I miss home

2006-05-11T19:39:16Z

And so the countdown begins: 9 days until I get to go home. whoopee!

It's really weird to contemplate leaving here to go back home... I actually have come to really like this little room and that I can call it my own without worrying about the possibility of other people invading my space. We'll see how that goes at home. I think that I'm going to completely clean my room this summer, which should be interesting. Oh well.

I'm really going to miss a lot of people here as well, which I really didn't think would happen. I really like having everyone here within just a few minutes walk from me. I'm also going to miss the fact that I walk everywhere here. At home I don't walk hardly anywhere just because everything is so far apart. We'll see how that works.

Richard was here for a few days, which was wonderful. We went to the AZ formal, which was loads of fun. We also went to Toughannock (or however the hell you spell that) falls, Hickey's Music Store and various other places. It was much fun. But, unfortunately he had to go home, so we have to go back to missing each other, which sucks. But, we'll make it, no worries.

I'm really looking forward to this summer, though, which is good. I miss home a lot, even though I have a lot of friends here. It's just not the same. It looks as though I may be working for Doc Johnson at his vet clinic, but we shall see.

Ack, alright, I have to actually go study now. Woo-hoo.

What stands between me and home:
chem final
ansci final
genetics final

everything else is done. *does a happy dance*

unfortunately, it is a possibility that I might fail chemistry, which is bad. Oh well. Such is life

Adios all!
~Laura

P.S. I love you!

awwww :(

Happiness is trying on a dress that was too tight six months ago and having it be *almost* too loose :-D

AZ is having a spring formal sometime in early may... but unfortunately I think it's on a weekend :(

I get to have Richard with me in less than a week

I think that I'm starting to understand chem again. woo!

I folded laundry today

I'll do dishes later, methinks.

I'm going to do chem with Caleb and whoever else after dinner

I got to speak with Richard last night, even if I was asleep when he called.

I actually got a full night's sleep last night!

well, now that you are all thoroughly bored, I'ma go call my daddy now!

oy vey...

2006-03-12T04:29:13Z

So I just planned my "tentative" course schedule for the next three years. Just looking at it makes me depressed. So I'll be taking between 19 and 21 credits each semester just so that I can take all of the classes that I need to take plus the classes that I want to take. I have concluded that the problem is that there are too many things that I want to do. Even with near the maximum number of credits each semester, I still can't take all of the classes that I want to. Gah!

Damn the system!

*sigh*

Oh well.

I'm sure that at this point, most of you are muttering "over-achiever" under your breaths.

Yes, I am. And damn proud of it, too!

See, this is why I'm not sure about vet school anymore... I'm not sure I could withstand 8 years of torture like this. *sigh*

I really don't want to have a nervous breakdown.

Is the semester over yet?

Can I go home now?

No?

Damn.

*MUAH*
~Laura

P.S. I love you.
P.P.S. I'm taking intro to music theory next year, so I'll expect you to help me as best you can over phone and internet :-D I love you!

interesting.

So. It's been a while.

In the last few weeks I've:

-bombed two prelims. woo!
-passed one prelim with a good grade.
-gone home for a weekend
-talked with friends
-cried
-twice
-met lots of AZ people. I love you guys!
-fought
-talked on the phone. A lot
-traveled over 14 hours in three days
-seen Hailley
-spent time with Richard :-D
-ate chocolate
-gotten lost
-smiled
-laughed
-blushed
-hidden a hickey from my parents
-sang loudly while walking down the street
-been so in love that I can't describe it

Life, all in all, has been pretty good.
Except for the prelims
which means that I will be spending oodles and oodles of time studying to make up for the bad grades. I hope that works, 'cause if it doesn't, I'm screwed.

So now I'm off to do that homework thing and then talk to Richard, hopefully, and still get to sleep at a semi-decent hour. Not too much work tonight- I should have time for other work tomorrow.

well, I suppose that's it. Lots on my mind, but not things that I'm willing to discuss here. Ask me if ye dare.

adios, mis amigas!

P.S. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

I am a farm girl

2006-02-26T20:46:35Z

I am a farm girl.

My father sent me to college with a toolbox and I know how to use every single tool in there.

If I can't fix it with duct tape, electric fence wire, hose clamps, pliers and a hammer, it's not worth fixing.

I can make almost anything out of the aforementioned implements.

I'm an animal science major because I love farm animals, not pets that live in cages.

I'm not homesick, I'm farmsick.

I need to be surrounded by green plants and animals to be happy.

I see no shame in getting a college education and returning to a farm.

I've helped animals give birth. Since I was 8.

I can sew proficiently.

I throw clothes away only after I've mended them at least 3 times.

I quilt, cross-stitch, embroider, applique, knit, solder, fix an engine, carve and run construction tools.

I've driven a tractor since I was 11.

I had to fix the tractor before I could drive it.

I have gotten up in the middle of the night to chase cows around the property.

I spend my summers slinging hay bales and working.

I walk into the research building at school, smell cows, and smile when the other girls wrinkle their noses.

I laugh at the girls who whine because their boots got dirty from the snowy/muddy crap on the ground.

I have a pretty good idea of what I want from my future and it involves a farm and a family.

I know what 4-H is.

I know what FFA is.

I listen to country music. Loudly & proudly.

I am not afriad of driving on a dirt road.

I LOVE driving on dirt roads.

I walk through pastures in bare feet and think nothing of it.

I am not afraid of driving through snow.

I can grow a garden, cook, can, and bake.

I can split wood, stack wood, mix cement, run a tablesaw and a chainsaw.

I don't understand how people can live in cities.

I am a farmgirl!

wOOt, 3 AM!

2006-02-26T08:21:47Z

Looking out my window tonight, I only see a few windows that don't have their curtains drawn... I just can't imagine how people live with them closed... shut off from the world, the outside, the sunlight, the trees, the sky... everything. I just don't understand.

That, and how people can function with this many people around them and then go back home to cities where the population is greater than campus... it just blows my mind. How people can live so close together without feeling like they're stacked on top of one another. How can two houses be built so close to each other that you could reach out the window and touch the neighbors... I just couldn't live like that.

I need room to breathe, room to see the sky, to let sunlight come in the window. I need more of a lawn than just a postage stamp. I need enough for trees, for a garden, enough to be surrounded by green. Granted, in the summertime, because it's hard to have green around you when it's snowy. But still. I can't live in a place where the only life is me, and other people. To live in a place where almost all you see is pavement is just beyond my capabilities.

I miss home.

I miss music. Singing along to CDs is nice, but I miss singing as a group, as a duet. *sigh* I don't know. It's just different. This is my bid to all of you college-bound people. Don't forget your involvement in music, theater, whatever. Keep with it. Try for auditions. The time that it takes and the going out on a limb that it requires is more than worth it. Don't regret not trying for it, like I do.

Wow.
I'm in a mood, and I appologise.

*sigh*
I think I'm going to go to bed.

goodnight
~Laura

So I had an amazing amazing past week.

Life is great.

GREAT

went to the Balch-sponsored toy party...it was freaking amazing. Went to the plant store and bought some three plants... they're all prettyful and make my room even greener. I have a most beautiful vase full of flowers sitting next to my compy and it makes my room smell all loverly of lilies. I smile every time I walk in my room because it brings back memories...

Classes are going well, but I am very very busy. I'm taking 18 credits this semester, so things are very very hectic, what with classes and labs and work and all that sort of crap. I'm also pledging to Alpha Zeta, the co-ed honors agriculture fraternity, which is pretty frigging awesome, but still very time consuming. I don't usually have time to talk to people online like I did last semester. Chem is going better this semester, which is good. I've made a vow to keep up on my school work. wOOt. FWS is pretty good, too, and the book that we're reading seems to always be about sex, even though it was written in the 1300s. It's really great, though, and I would definately reccommend it to anyone (Giovanni Bocaccio's Decameron, if anyone was interested). I think my prof likes me, too, which is always a plus. I should probably study some chem-ness this weekend, as I really don't get a lot of the rate stuff that we're doing right now, but we'll see if that actually gets done. I hope so. I really can't afford to get a not-so-good grade in chem this semester. My friend Sarah is learning to speak spanish, so I'm kinda learning a little bit here and there. "no intendo" and "no sais" (idk if those were spelled right) are my best two phrases :-D

Haven't talked too much to the family, which is kinda sad. They, like, never call me. Whatever.

... I should fix that... they just called me.

Hrm.....

I am worried about my friend Carly. I must talk to her sometimes....

Well, on to the best part of my past little while...

My Richard came to visit me for a few days, and it was wonderful! We got to spend lots of time together because I did a lot of work over the weekend so that I could spend as much time with him as possible. I must say, we did thoroughly enjoy ourselves... and each other. I took him to see the Lab of Ornithology where I work (Charles would have given you a real tour and, had I known that, we would have stuck around a tad bit longer), we went to the Pyramid Mall, Michael's, Barnes & Noble and other various places around campus. But mostly we just spent time together, which was really nice. I've missed being able to do that. He makes me miss home... and being near him. Then he had to go home on wednesday, which was sad. But apparently he really liked the mix CD that I made for him for Valentine's Day, which was good.

He called me from work on thursday for no apparent reason, which put me in an even better mood than I had been in before, which is really saying something. Amazing how a 2 minute call can make the world a better place. Then he called me later after work and we talked for something like 3 1/2 hours. It was great, aside from getting very little sleep (for the 3rd night that week). I love it when he's so open and honest with me, and that I keep falling more and more in love with him every day.

I love you!
from the bottom of my toes to the tip of my heart... and other places ;)

Well, I suppose that's the long and short of it... talk to me sometime!

*MUAH*
