| Bike Coop in urbana |
[Jul. 30th, 2008|08:21 pm] |
Hello! Has anyone here had any experience with the bike coop in Urbana? I'm looking for a good quality used/inexpensive bike, and it seems like an interesting place.
On that note...does anyone have any other recommendations for where i could find such a bike? |

It's been like 3 1/2 months...never thought I'd come back.
hmm...July? wow. It seems like pretty much anything that could have changed since then has...
bittersweet.
senior year...it seems like everything is either really great, or is really killing me. mostly killing me...but i'm sure things will calm down once swimming's over (only 4 practices left...EVER...)
Free time is gonne be nice, but I'm gonna miss the team so much...
I have to turn in my application for the U of I one week from today...I still haven't written my professional or personal statements...I'm stuck. help...
I'm starting to think I probably shouldn't have put off this whole college thing...
seriously, I fail life. *punches self in face*
But hey...aside from smelling like chlorine, school, worrying about having a future, and...maybe some other stuff...I'd say things are pretty awesome. seriously. It might be kind of rocky, but I'm loving my life right now...I have a lot to smile about. (yeah, you know i'm talking about you.)
Anyway time to sleep. I wonder if anyone will still even read this thing...

So I've been looking through all my mom's, and her family's really old stuff for the past few days..it's really awesome. All of these old pictures, and notes, and yearbooks, and sports stuff...then tonight, we were reading an old baby book, that the hospital gave my grandma when my aunt was born in 1964. It had this article...
( Are You a Model Mother? )
It gets really good like half way through...so hilarious. Yet...really sad. I can't believe that's not a joke...
So in other news...there is no other news. I want to come home. |

In just 3 days...my license will officially be valid late at night! And...(insert other perks of turning 17)! Yeahhh birthday.
Then just 3 short days later...you won't be seeing me until at least the 4th of July (unless you're a nadiator, who will see me really tired at a meet on the 19th...or you're just cool enough to see me on my one night back in town). So...I better be getting some care packages.
Time flies...
I had my first REAL save at work the other day. (as in...the kid wasn't FAKING IT!) I used to be really scared that I might have to go in...but it really wasn't bad at all, minus the fact that I had to walk home with wet clothes..
There's still a huge list of things I want to do this summer. Like...who wants to go on a fishing trip? Or go camping? Or to a drive-in movie? Who wants to go dancing? REAL dancing, not Lava(no offense to anyone who likes that place). Who wants to listen to music for hours on end? Who wants to go mud wrestling, or go play frisbee and capture the flag and flashlight tag? Who wants to go lay out in the middle of no where and look at stars? Or walk around barefoot and eat popsicles? Or...do a million other summery things? I think I need to make a list. Who wants to help me finish it?
I'm tired.
Still determined to make this the best summer ever,
Emily |

I have been having the STRANGEST waking-up-in-the-morning experiences lately..
First of all...the other day I woke up really really early in the morning, and rushed downstairs, because for some reason I thought I was late for something. I went and woke up my mom and asked if there were any lifeguards here...and naturally she didn't know what I was talking about, and I guess I got mad at her, and then went back to bed.
Then this morning! (I think the extra hour of sleep was really good for me) I woke up with the biggest urge to listen to Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney...so FIRST thing in the morning, I turned on my computer, found it in my music, and sang and danced to that song. I have NO idea why. But it put me in a really good mood.
Tomorrow = most horrible day ever. bio, pre calc, and french are gonna kill me...
BUT THEN IT'S SUMMER!! |

Pretty good weekend.
Sorting through all these stupid letters, and ACTs, and being around all of the seniors...everything lately has been reminding me of how I only have one year left here. That's exciting...but weird, and scary. I don't feel that old..
I'm so ready for this summer...only ONE WEEK! That's weird too...the past year is such a blur. It really has been good though...I know I've been complaining, but I think I just needed to be reminded of everything that's happened, and it really has been fun. Things have changed so much..
I've been really stressed out about math lately...but I've realized something: every year...first semester: A. Second semester: B. That's just how it is. I can fail that test tomorrow, and get a B in the class...or I can get an A+ tomorrow...and get a B in the class. So, I don't know why I should worry.
You know how at businesses sometimes people will have the little secret alarm button under their desk? Well I guess the pool has one of those, cause I sure did accidentally press it today...police respond pretty quick to those things, I was impressed.
The lightning tonight was really amazing. Did anyone else see it? I love this weather...
Just remembered I have to work tomorrow morning...*stabs self in eye*
Goodnight. |

woooo I'm done! and it's only 2!
I guess starting a project at 10:30 the night before it's due isn't the best idea...
Whatever...who needs sleep?
Stress is slowly fading. Got a bunch of stuff to finish this weekend...then I'm pretty much done. Do you realize there's only one real, full week of school left?
Let's make this summer really good, ok? |

I don't remember there ever being a point in my life where I wasn't involved with at least ONE thing...
Spring training. I'm glad we're doing it. I'm so out of shape. And I don't mean just swimming slow, which I am...but just in general I am not very...fit.
Went back to ballet too...so sore. I take back what I said about quitting though...I still love it.
So I applied for NHS just because it's something that'll look good for college...and I ended up getting a scholarship. I wish I had been paying closer attention, because I'm not exactly sure WHY I won it...I just know that if I decide to go to Chatham College, I'll get money. And they gave me a book. Very random.
17 school days left. 14 if you don't count finals.
I always read those things, and wonder if hope they're about me...
goodnight. |

I remember when I first got this song, my window was open and it was raining...and I thought the rain sounded really good in the background. (random memory of the night)
I don't know how I got around to reading that...but I think I had started to forget how that felt. I hate it when memories start to fade.
Show's over. So glad I did it...awesome experience. Awesome show. You're stupid if you didn't see it.
Melissa must think my parents are crazy...first the hockey team was here, then the next weekend they're taking off to a "pimps and hos" party. I promise they're not as wild as they sound...it's all benefit stuff they've been doing for Garnet and her family. It's so sad...that whole thing hit me a lot harder than I thought it would...
I did more math today than I have done all quarter. Easily. I need to start focusing in that class.
I feel like everything I write is extremely boring...because lately, whenever I write anything worth while it seems to end up being a private entry. Sorry guys.
Spring training starts tomorrow...I hope it goes well. I'm so out of shape...I don't know how I'm gonna be telling OTHER people to swim...I'm sure I'll be drowning by the end of warm-up.
anyway...goodnight.
ps--if you go back and read the earliest entries in this journal...it's really really weird how different they sound. I think I used to be a lot more enthusiastic about...everything
pps--I've been listening to this song repeat for like half an hour...I hate that |

YAAAAY we made it through our first show!!! And without any major screw-ups!
Seriously guys...come see 42nd street. It's so worth your $6.
But agh...I'm getting a bad cold, and after singing all night...my throat is BURNING...but it's ok, I'm having so much fun. Everyone in the show is so awesome, crew people included!
Danielle came to the show tonight, and she was telling me about NYU and just WOW...I want her life. Seriously. I can't think of anything that could possibly be more amazing. I wish I was that brave...
Anyway it's late, and I want to get some rest so I'll be ready for the show tomorrow, that you'll ALL be at!! *cough*
Goodnight |

I have spent entirely too much time in our school's auditorium lately... BUTTHEPLAYISGOINGTOBEREALLYGOODYOUSHOULDCOMESEEITBUYTICKETSFROMME!
I think I have bursitis in my hip...it sucks. It's gotten to the point where it can really hurt to walk sometimes. I should really go to the doctor...
Honestly, this isn't directed towards anyone specific, but I don't understand why people have been getting so stressed out/upset over things lately. In most cases, I think you can choose whether or not you let things get to you, so why would you? Everyone needs to just sit back and enjoy the sun...
I only went to ballet once last week, and I'm not going at all this week...and really, I haven't missed it. I don't think I have a passion for it like I used to...it's kind of sad. But it's hard to stay enthusiastic about something that you do 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, especially when I'm not even fricken performing. This might end up being my last semester...
What's your favorite song?
I need to work on getting more sleep...

I was trying to figure it out in math today...and I think we have something like 34 days of school left. That's not much at all.
Honestly...there's not much I WOULDN'T do to be able to lay on a sunny beach right now, in a bikini, sipping a drink with a little umbrella on it and letting my skin soak up the heat.
Heck, I'd settle for yelling at crystal lake kids with a guard suit on...craving a drink of water. As long as I can feel the sun on my shoulders and know that my next math test is months away.
I hope this summer is as amazing as I'm hoping it will be.
I think I think too much.

Why do I suddenly feel so overwhelmed?
I hate Progers. I was gone when we learned most of this...and the part I was here for was when Mrs Klein taught the material...Mrs Klein is insane. Literally. The only thing I learned from her was that the most important thing you can do is get enough sleep. Oh, and that...bullies pick on individuals.
Sorry...but I can't teach myself half of a chapter in one night.
Mr Lock disgusts me.
Mr Lemons needs to grow up and quit making himself out to be a victim.
Student teachers ruin easy classes.
Quizzes have become just reminders of how I don't listen.
What..8 weeks left?

So here I am in lovely New York! Once again, sitting in my dad's lab playing on a computer while he's off at some meeting about things I don't understand. For me, this place hasn't changed since I was like 3...haha, when we walked into the main building I could still find my way to the kitchen where they keep the donuts and bagels and stuff. And you know how you can recognize a place by its smell? Yeah..
Anyway, getting here wasn't bad...read like 100 pages of Poisonwood Bible, listened to music, and drank lots of diet pepsi. I love flying.
We bought an umbrella first thing (which I hopefully won't have to use TOO much), and then drove through Groton on the way to Cornell. I can still remember where everything is "downtown"...which probably says more about how small the town is than how good of a memory I have, but, it was cool.
Ugh...just looking out the window driving from Syracuse to Ithaca...I'm so in love with this place. It's beautiful. So...not like Urbana. It's on Lake Cayuga (one of the finger lakes) and there are these gorgeous waterfalls...it's not a big flat grid-looking place...the roads wind around, you go up and down through HILLS...there's even some decent skiing nearby I guess. The only real similarity is it's a big college town, which I like.
I'm going to take a walking tour of Cornell's campus in about an hour...hopefully that'll be cool, even though the weather's not great. Still not sure how I feel about trying to come here for school...probably more of a grad school option. But hey...who knows.
Guess I'm gonna get going...hope you're all having an awesome day at school!
suckers... |
