I often sit and wonder why. Why has my life turned this path and gathered these scenarios? All that has happened in my life has lead to this one point in my life with all the different things that make me me. I am always so happy with how most things turned out in my life so far. Family, friends, all of that has been a gift in my life. I just always worry about after college. After i am on my own. I just hope i dont end up alone. haha. A unbelievable statement, but it bothers me often. How to keep from being alone.

...Finals...= :(
SO.....finals are almost here. But first i have to get past the two presentations coming up this week. The materials science one is on tuesday at 3pm and the mechanical engineering is friday at like 12:30pm or sumtin. Not too nervous about those cause we will be in a group and it wont just be me up there shooting the breeze. Have both my finals on December 8th, one is in the morning and the other is like 6-8pm at night i believe. Not too prepared for those two at this moment, but i think since ill have solely Friday-Wed to study for them ill be able to study up enough to put up a fight to get a good grade. Many so glad that i can start to run again after some 2+ weeks out of the running. Got a minor groin pull or tear that i didn't want to risk and go running. Not sure...but if you have ever had a pull or tear in that area then youll understand why i wanted to stay put. HURTS LIKE A B*TCH!

The Yellow Ribbon
Here is one of my favorite stories i remember when i was little. I heard it when i was in like 3rd grade or sumtin like that i think. Its not the story actually..i think it was how sad i felt for the wife in the end that made me fall in love with this story.
The Yellow Ribbon
by: S. E. Schlosser
Jane wore a yellow ribbon around her neck everyday. And I mean everyday, rain or shine, whether it matched her outfit or not. It annoyed her best friend Johnny after awhile. He was her next door neighbor and had known Jane since she was three. When he was young, he had barely noticed the yellow ribbon, but now they were in high school together, it bothered him.
“Why do you wear that yellow ribbon around your neck, Jane?” he’d ask her every day. But she wouldn’t tell him.
Still, in spite of this aggravation, Johnny thought she was cute. He asked her to the soda shoppe for an ice cream sundae. Then he asked her to watch him play in the football game. Then he started seeing her home. And come the spring, he asked her to the dance. Jane always said yes when he asked her out. And she always wore a yellow dress to match the ribbon around her neck.
It finally occurred to Johnny that he and Jane were going steady, and he still didn’t know why she wore the yellow ribbon around her neck. So he asked her about it yet again, and yet again she did not tell him. “Maybe someday I’ll tell you about it,” she’d reply. Someday! That answer annoyed Johnny, but he shrugged it off, because Jane was so cute and fun to be with.
Well, time flew past, as it has a habit of doing, and one day Johnny proposed to Jane and was accepted. They planned a big wedding, and Jane hinted that she might tell him about the yellow ribbon around her neck on their wedding day. But somehow, what with the preparations and his beautiful bride, and the lovely reception, Johnny never got around to asking Jane about it. And when he did remember, she got a bit teary-eyed, and said: “We are so happy together, what difference does it make?” And Johnny decided she was right.
Johnny and Jane raised a family of four, with the usual ups and downs, laughter and tears. When their golden anniversary rolled around, Johnny once again asked Jane about the yellow ribbon around her neck. It was the first time he’d brought it up since the week after their wedding. Whenever their children asked him about it, he’d always hushed them, and somehow none of the kids had dared ask their mother. Jane gave Johnny as sad look and said: “Johnny, you’ve waited this long. You can wait awhile longer.”
And Johnny agreed. It was not until Jane was on her death bed a year later that Johnny, seeing his last chance slip away, asked Jane one final time about the yellow ribbon she wore around her neck. She shook her head a bit at his persistence, and then said with a sad smile: “Okay Johnny, you can go ahead and untie it.”
With shaking hands, Johnny fumbled for the knot and untied the yellow ribbon around his wife’s neck.
And Jane’s head fell off.
**Don't just take the fact her head fell off, think about it a little more and i think youll feel it

The longer i run
So i went for a run the other day to get money...it was saturday if i remember correctly. No, it was saturday 4 sure. So i went to exercise and get money to pay my roomies to pay for some utilities when i think i over thought how short this run truly was...and it ended up being some 6.5 mile run..just a tad bit longer than my normal 2-3 mile run. I ended up just about being dehydrated at the end and sat on the couch the rest of the day. (not bad in my book). But only to wake up the next morning and having a slight pull in my upper leg i think. I rolled over in bed and i felt this twang in my muscle...i said "noooooo..." in my head. but i think it was only a minor since i was still able to walk around the rest of the day. looks like no more running for me possibly rest of the week. :(
And i swear im going to start up my "Music of the Day" to let you listen to while you read. ENJOY!

Sum of all things
I think its come to a point in the road where i am believe that i will never know what lays down the road. I will always want and try to predict wat i want to lay around the next bend..but things always change. Wat i wanted 4 yrs ago is not wat i have today. For the most part..its better. Its more than i could have dreamed of. But when i have time to let my mind dream..i find that one should stop worrying. Stop really anticipating. Time just deals us cards, we can have our own too, but when it comes to sometimes things just fall into place when we least expect them.
