New to this...

So I'm new to this whole "blogging thing". :) Bare with me... I was given an assignment in my Comm class: create a blog, twitter, or podcasts? (whatever those are!) I tried the twitter thing, but couldn't really get into or find time to just "kill" on there. My siblings have a blog so I figured if they can keep one up between kids and their life, I can too! So here's my second shot at my comm class assignment.

As my blogger site says- I am a Crazy College Chica. If there's something to do, I've most likely got my hands in it. Right now I'm a little in over my head between work, school, homework, and Guitars Unplugged.

Guitars Unplugged is a show here on campus, the biggest actually, and I'm the manager for it! ah! So between all the planning and meetings, I'm trying to find time to have fun with it.

One of the most interesting things we've done in my Comm class so far is a 3 minute presentation on ourselves. I'm not too hot at getting up with nothing to say, so I wrote out a little "somethin somethin", to delay me looking like a fool. :)

So here's a posting of it- enjoy!


I'll update more later! :)

Me

I believe there are three separate phases in a person's life.
The past, present, and future made of happiness and strife.
To truly know a person you must explore each,
a poem? what better way to share and teach.

To begin, I was born in the Appalachian mountains of NC,
fourth of five children we roamed those mountains wild and free.
Following in every footstep of my eldest sister,
I wanted to be and do everything just like her.

Some would call me a back in the sticks girl living in a boys world.
For I climbed trees, caught bugs and frogs,
even built forts inside of logs.
Adventure was my middle name,
my little dreams and heart were hard to tame.

Being young and innocent I thought myself invincible,
dreams of traveling, love, and life found me not a fool.
Encouraged by my mother to be anything at all,
My inspirations changed day to day, hope never to fall.

When we moved to Raleigh things began to change,
I grew up and my interests began to range.
From chorus to painting to theater and everything in between,
I had to have my hands in art by almost any means.

With the addition of hobby interests boys came into view,
being a girl teenager I was sure to learn a thing or two.
From crushes to heartaches to breaking others hearts,
I realized love is in us all, never to really part.

My mother is a southern belle and so became my philosophy,
that love is great and a hopeless romantic I would be.
Growing up on old time movies and classics of the age,
prince charming will come, of that my mind won't change.

Now “grown up” and far from my family of best friends,
I have my personality and thoughts, dreams now to defend.
From climbing trees and being daddy's little helper,
I have to have my own opinion and standards now to shelter.

My roommates say I'm one of a kind crazy to the core,
Being a theater major I'd say they're right, I'm definitely not a bore.
Realizing my little self, I'd say some things never change,
Adventure is still my middle name, new horizons now to claim.

I still love to be among the free of the great open wide outdoors,
versus hiding away in my apartment with homework and stuffy chores.
I love to be taken to another place within the realm of a movie,
but also to pick up a book and find action, romance, and fantasy.

When stressed out with homework, work or school,
You'll find me at the piano- it's almost a rule.
For there I find solace in white and black keys,
not a fan of the classical, but new age for me, please.

Altho far from home and on my own,
I still call my mom at least five times a day on the phone.
I love to talk and with her we sure can,
In between classes, walking stairs, it's never a plan.

The present is a little fuzzy with all that's going on,
It's hard to find time to think about me when the time is going, gone.
That little girl is inside of me fighting to break free,
but a woman now I have to be in this society.

I don't like change but try to take it with a smile,
hoping for things to stay the same all the little while.
In my mind, I'm still not ready to grow up and be,
but yet at the same time the want exists in me.

So you can see as anyone can that I'm a little mixed up,
but now is the time to live and learn and drink from wisdom's cup.
I decided I don't have to have it all figured out right now,
Just take it one day at a time and I'll get through it somehow.

I love my life and everyone in it tho it may be a bit confusing,
But it's challenges and people that keep it like that, and oh so quite amusing.

Before I delve into the future I seek,
I'll add a few lines about this gospel, a peek.
I know that my Redeemer lives, oh how true a line is this,
I want to share this with everyone-this truth- they cannot miss.
I know my Heavenly Father is always near to me,
reaching and helping and comforting just as I want to be.

As I want to be...
I have many aspirations for me.
I want to graduate and do something good,
I want to become as I know that I should.

I want to meet prince charming one way or another,
I want him to take me to the temple forever.
I want to have children one day of my own,
and teach them the way that my mother has shown.

I want to be able to say when I'm through,
that the time was well spent not a second too few.
I want to be a grandmother that the grand-kids adore,
the one that bakes cookies and advice they come to for.

I think I've described more than enough about me,
if you want to know more, just wait and see.
I change everyday- my thoughts and my dreams,
just as I did when I was little, it seems.
