Somalian Baby
Today, Rachel and I figured out my life plans. First, I’m going to find a man to marry with dredlocks.
His qualifications: He has to be a white water rafting instructor (from East Tennessee preferably), lives on the side of the river in one of those plywood houses, likes hiking and outdoorsy things (so he can make me outdoorsy), and he has to be a Democrat. He doesn’t need to say...

Family time
So I’m sitting here with my family in Martin enjoying some tasty desserts! It’s been nice being back home, but I’m ready to be back in Nashville. It’s not that I have stuff to do there, but I just enjoy being in the city. Also, tomorrow I am starting a program called “Couch to 5K” where I build up to being able to run a 5K. It’s not that I want to run a...
For Myself
I’m blessed for everything I have. I really am. I feel like everything has been perfect except one thing that I have had trouble with my whole life. I’m completely a happy person, but this one thing holds me back from so much. I want to fix it. I want to do it for myself.
Finally, sleep....
I don’t have to be up until 8:02 A.M. tomorrow. That’s FOUR more hours than what I am now used to!!!! I’m so exhausted right now, but if I go to sleep now, I’m scared I will wake up at four. So, nonetheless, I have decided to talk on here instead. My internet is actually working tonight. Every post I have recently put on here is from my Blackberry because I steal...
Freak Out
My heart feels like it is in my tummy. It’s amazing what a simple text message can do to a personm
8:12 P.M.
I began writing this at 8:12. Do you know where I am? Lying in bed, lights oFf, pj’s on, heading to bed. I feel like I have turned into a fifty year old. But don’t fret, party Mary will be back out this weekend since I don’t have to work! Martin is happening this weekend, and so is Cabana! I’m excited. I was going to make this a long blog entry, but got tired of typing....
Work Break
So… I have ten more minutes of break. My thirty minute break. I’ve been here since five this morning. Luckily two is getting closer and closer and I can go home and take a nap before my parents roll into town. The only thing that is getting me through this day right now is the free spinach artichoke souffle and the chocolate chip cookie I am munching on as I type. There are nice people...
4 A.M.
Guess who had to get up at four this morning? That’s right, me. I’m now sitting at my internship at the Tennessee Democratic Party, where I’ve been since 1. I know I’m just training, but I feel like I’m having a difficult time picking everything up. I’ve always been involved in jobs on campus, so working with food is completely different. Granted, it’s not...
Nashville Nightlife
So, I feel that I have kept this updated pretty well for the first week of my new Nashville life. Granted, I have to type this on my Blackberry because my Internet only works during certain times of the day at my apartment, I have still made an attempt to post something everyday. Tonight, I actually went out and did something. Shocking, I know! It was nice to see some old faces (Jennifer Coffee...
Work
Love it! It’s exciting and entertaining!
Anticipation
I know I have only been here for three days, but more friends would be nice. I have had something to do every night until now, and I’m feeling slightly lonely. I will probably take another nap as an excuse for having absolutely nothing to do. I know I can’t hang with friends every night, but it would be nice to have company. Hopefully I will meet tons of people when I start working at...
Nashville Life
I’m alone. In my apartment. I had four hours of sleep; hence, the reason I’m about to take a nap. It’s bare and slightly lonely, but I already have two options to hang out with people tonight. I’m excited to meet new people, but I’m glad I know people in the area to hang with too so I feel more comfortable here. It was hard saying bye to my parents, but I’m so...
High School
So, you think after all these years we’ve been out of Westview, people would have changed. Apparently people don’t realize that being out of school for three years can change someone. I now have short hair, dress different, and can hold a beer in my hand whenever I feel like it. At the bar tonight, I had people originally from Martin dropping their jaws because of how I’ve...
First night
It’s the first night in my apartment, and I’m so excited. I feel at home here, and I’m lying in a sleeping bag. I feel safe and content, but it might be because my mother is in her sleeping bag next to me. Oh well, on Sunday I’ll find out if I’m cut out for the city on my own.
Today, I found out that there was going to be a news release written about me going to...
Moving and shaking
So, I’m packing all my stuff up, about to leave for Nashville, but I’m still waiting on two grades. So far, I have three A’s and a W from where I dropped Biology 140. I just keep staring at the screen in hopes of seeing two more A’s pop up on my email account. I’ve made 4.0s the last two semesters, and I’m determined to try to the rest of the time while...
Is it moving time yet?
After last night, I don’t think I have ever been this excited to do something different. I was scared to death, but now I am fully prepared to embrace living in Nashville. I may not be a city girl, but I think I’m going to get used to it very easily. I find most people in Martin to be very closed-minded and uncultured, and I’m ready to expand to a new set of friends that...
...
I’ve never felt someone didn’t care about me until I met you.
Too Fast
I think everything between us came too fast. Now I’m bored. I always end up bored. I also feel like you’re not that into me and that she’s always in the back of your mind.I feel like I’m a wuss for putting this on here as opposed to saying it to your face.
Panera
Newly employed in Nashvegas :)
Interview tomorrow
I’m totally making my way to Nashville tomorrow at 7:30 AM…. That’s right. A.M. I hope I get this job!
Floods
Nashville is completely flooded. I was supposed to have an interview tomorrow. SAD DAY.
