Never have I felt so out in one place but so included in another. Life has been throwing some new curve balls, new challenges and new friends which have been greatly appreciated. It always seems to be this semester that real groups show themselves, people show their true selves. Why is that? Do people just get sick of putting on their act? It for sure seems like it. Does the pressure get to everyone? Possibly. What ever it is, it is ridiculous. When does the maturity factor kick in? If people keep acting like they do will they ever grow up? It doesn't seem like it at all. Just think, we could be graduating in 2 years or 3 years and then what? Will we become "real" adults? I would hope so.
A lot has been going on. In my belief life has been written for us already, but there is no way for us to see those books and flip ahead to see what is going to happen. We were given feelings and emotions for a reason, I hope for the better but some days it seems like they are only there to show the bad and make us upset.
We're all still adjusting. Adjusting from what we knew for over 18 years to a new life that we will know for a couple years and then it will change all again.
Who knows what the next chapter in each persons life will bring.
I do know that its gonna bring some sunny weather and lots of smiles. Finally Spring is Coming!!!

Quick
When did life get so complicated? I miss how easy it use to be to drive over to my best friends house and see her, now its a 5hr plane ride at least and a couple paychecks that I don't even have. I want life to be everything its suppose to be, but some days its hard. Hard to get thru the easiest parts, hard to remember why I am spending hours away from my family, hard to find a new group of friends just plan hard!
Danny Gokey's new song sums it all up in saying My best days are ahead of me and my mistakes are behind me. But are they? I should think that they are, but I'm only 20 with so many more years to live. I have a lot to accomplish before my time here is up.
If only I had a job.
Life wouldn't be any easier, I would be in school and working but it would give me a sense of accomplishment. A life, to say. I don't even look forward to the weekends because its all devoted to studying and doing nothing. A couple years ago it was devoted to Scouts, YCA birthday parties, and hanging out with friends.
Until then
Kelly

Just a Quick Thought
How many people actually know geographically where our soldiers are fighting?
I had to take a Southwest Asia map quiz. I thought I knew where the Middle East countries that we are involved in but actually I had them all mixed up. I mean how could I not know where these countries are? I knew the relative location but not exactly where they were located until Thursday. From here on out I will not be an American where I do not know where our soldiers are involved.

Grand Adventure
Previously Written 1:13am Sunday 2/7/2010
It's nearly 1:30am and as usual I can not sleep. It seems to a pattern these days. And the thing is I'm EXHAUSTED!
I have so many things running through my head, first off I have Justin Bieber's new song, "Baby" replaying over and over- and its just the chorus which is really becoming annoying. Also I have to get up early and deal with some crazy 2nd graders. I need a shower. But really I keep thinking about what came thru my head while I was on the dance floor Friday night.
Since when have I found myself hanging with a totally different crowd than I would have in High School? It is defiantly NOT a bad crowd at all. I love them all to death and would be there for them for anything. But as I was dancing with Kristen, Michelle, John, Tori and Ricky waiting for the rest of our group to get in (that's a whole other story) I was thinking how different my circle of close friends I have now. Before in High School I would have never found my group in the middle of the dance floor, non of us had boyfriends or really cared about it, we went with what came and dealt with so much drama it was ridiculous, but we always found the underlying importance of friendship.
Today I'm exploring, branching out if you want to say, to so many different groups of friends and getting to know a lot of different people.
I've grown.
Although I'm enjoying the fun side of life which is definitely in the fast lane, I'm trying to balance school, friends, and extra school activities, my new favorite activity Student Ambassadors!
Life might not be exactly what I would like it to be, but its like the new campus advertisement says, It's a Grand Adventure and for sure taking it!

Keys
As I was walking out of my apartment this morning to meet my friends for an early breakfast, (I know me up early on a Friday is amazing!) I was searching for my apartment key in the mess of life I carry around with me.
And I thought, do you ever think what is on your key chain tell who you are, where you have been and maybe even where you are going?
My keys tell all this. Which may sound rediculous, but my keys show my past, my present and signify my future.
Lets begin with my lanyard, of course I bought my Detroit Tiger lanyard the week I got my license and from then on I've been showing my Love for the Tigers.
I don't care much on my lanyard but enough to sometimes be very bulky.
My car keys- well I got to have those to get places, and they signify my future.
Scrapbook Emporium Rewards Card- I've had this since before I could drive showing off my love to scrap and take pictures!
Kelly Flip Flop- I believe I got this in Kalahari the first year I went with the troop for an awesome/fun weekend in the waterpark.
Chicago bead key chain- which at this moment can't be read by anyone. The letters have all come off, but its a great reminder of my time there in the freezing cold rainy March weather. And although there may have been some drama, it was a great trip.
W.W.J.D. Bracelet- Last year at this time I gave my 2nd graders these bracelets in telling them about making good choices. Some how mine ended up on my key chain which makes me think more about choices and the life I have.
LAKERS dog tag- Sibs and Kids weekend 2009! What an adventure. What a blast. Showing off the campus to my sisters and the Simpsons was so much fun. We for sure laughed til we cried that weekend.
Campus Perks Rewards Card- It may not save a lot, but its fun to scan it each time.
Lock Box Keys- I was just thinking last night wondering where my lock box was and what exactly is in it at this time. Last year it was good to have in the dorm, this year I don't even know where its at---that's got to tell you how much I use it.
House Key (or at least I think it is)- I'm pretty sure this one silver key is my house key but I'm not exactly sure. Maybe when I go home next I should check to make sure.
Apartment Keys- One for my apartment and one for my room. Symbolizing my growth and what life will be from here on out.
Key Fobb- My axces to get into the leasing office and the gym, haven't used it much.
And finally my favorite memory on my lanyard-
YCA building key- Who would have known that I would still be carrying around my key. I had once given it up when I left for school and that was hard. And then I got it back when I opening during the holidays in 2008, and it has never left my lanyard again. One day I'll not carry it, really its just taking up room on my lanyard, but to me its special it means so much more.
Do you ever think what is special on your keychain or lanyard? Events will come and go, we will grow but our key chains will tell about our past, our present and even maybe where we are going.
