It's time for a change. I haven't exactly figured out what i want to change yet.. but i need to do something, and fast. Time to turn over a new leaf. New attitude, more friends, new life- a whole new me. Well, a new me without changing who i am inside. The hopeless romantic in me will never die. I'll always be a sucker for the "old-fashioned" way of doing things. There's something about the sweet and simple things in life that capture my heart. I'm such a sap. I just don't like to show it, i guess. It's obvious- no one ever takes the time to look anymore. If i could slow time down, just for a day, i'd make sure that i paid more attention to those wonderful details that i love so much. I need a new project. Something for someone else that will make me feel good in the process. How many truly good friends do i have? How many people can really say that they know me? I need to pay more attention to my buddies. What kinds of things make them happy and sad. What they appreciate. What matters most. How can i expect to be appreciated if no one feels like they are appreciated by me? I think too much. I hope for too much. I dream too much. I could probably use a reality check. I just don't want to give up on anything. What's the use of being sad and depressed? What will it get me? Pity? Ha! I don't need that. Besides, for people to help, they need to notice that something's wrong. I'm not sure if i'm good at hiding it or if no one cares to ask. Not that it matters. I can take care of myself. Right?

Alright, enough of my hopeless romantic ideals. I'm just going through one of those phases. I want change =). I just don't know how.

Today we had a reverse half day. I went out to breakfast with DG, Jess, Vinnie, Pati, and Dan. We caught up with Pat, Brandon, and Brandon's sister there too. We nearly got in a car accident on the way to school after picking up Jen. Thank goodness for Vinnie's mad driving skills. Poor Becca...
We were late getting to first period due to the backup on Schaumburg Rd. Mr. Murawski's a cool guy tho, so he didn't mind. On the way to class, Vinnie and I saw this couple making out in the hall, and we had to try desperately to contain our laughter. Vinnie thought that would be a really funny excuse for being late. "Sorry Murawski, but Robin and I were busy making out passionately in the middle of the hall till after the bell rang." Ha! If we're ever late again, i want to tell him that- see what happens.
Nothing else too exciting happened today. Except for the fact that we had an amazing quartet practice after school today and i got the music for Hunting Wabbits today. I'm so excited!!!

"Sax quartet- the greatest thing since sliced bread!"
i'll think of something to add to that vinnie. i will.

So much music, so little time. I just love song lyrics. Some of them are so gorgeous. And there's always something to fit your mood or describe your personality. Others, you've got too look a little deeper into.
