overwelmed with portfolio, presentations, quizzes,
homework and tests..
school has began!
.. thankfully after tomorrow my internship work
will be wrapped up.
I'm nervous about my presentation
and can't wait to finish the portfolio.

today i was preparing the portfolio
attaching the proper headings, numbers, etc
I needed to print it out and compile it.
but of course my printers ink ran out after two pages
go figures...
blah.

ran into a creep at walmart - (on my ink run)
pretty sure he was a drug dealer.
he had the dog to prove it.
he was so sketchy... i kept my distance
although he was parked next to me
when i walked out he was outside his car
i just pretend like nothing was wrong
got in my car QUICKLY.. and locked my door
altoona certainly has more creeps than anywhere
i've lived before.. ew ew.

i'm in desperate need of a male.
.. i know that sounds really odd..
but i'm the least mechanical person you may ever meet
and so i need a boys help constructing (not sure if that is the right word)
i bought something i need help putting together.
i tried contracting a male friends help.. or at least his power tools
he scared me. i am no longer going to attempt it.
he'll have to or someone else. not me. I'll ruin it.
i could also use some protection.. (see creep at walmart)
haha :)

i miss state college and my friends more and more each day
i've spent equal time in state college and altoona.
i didn't see my friends all summer!
I'm so thankful for my friends.
they are such a good support system for me
people i can laugh, cry, talk, and discuss things with
... after this year we will all be going our seperate ways
some to colorado, some will stay in state college, others don't know yet
(like me...)

not too many people have asked me what my plans are yet
but enough have to begin to cause my anxiety to rise
I'm okay with not knowing.. but i hate not having an answer
when someone asks.

first i need to make it through all my classes
and walk out alive in the spring.
here's to hoping!
