What to expect from me and my blog...

the intro?

if you haven't already realized by reading my first post... this blog is not going to include spectacular poems that seem to have been written by someone who seems to have a sense of lyrical genius... nor will they attempt to divulge every nitty gritty aspect of my personal life... i am not a student that is obsessed with studying and attaining a 95% average, although if i can keep it above 75% i will be happy... i am not a star athlete and i don't have any astounding abilities that sets me far apart from everyone else... 

... that aside i believe that i do have certain abilities and personality traits that make me an individual.. however, if you're looking for a blog written by someone who is high above the curve, you will not find it in me... i regard myself as strikingly ordinary... yes i do want to make a difference in this life, although i realize i can't save the world... i make mistakes and i'm human... i enjoy swings and monkey bars... and i'm slightly a hopeless romantic (although more hopeless than romantic)... 

i believe that through reading my blog you will be able to connect with what i have to say... as most of you reading this probably consider yourselves an ordinary student such as myself... i'm sure this year will hold some happy moments, some sad moments, and even some devistating moments.. but they will all be taken in stride, and regardless of the outcome, i am glad to provide you a tiny glimpse into a seemingly ordinary student perspective...

my name is amanda.. and this is my life..

And so it begins...

almost october already.. the first month has really flown by and things are starting to pick up..
i miss the first two weeks after i arrived - going to the beach and working on my tan which i seemed to neglect all summer because of overworking and a certain something lacking in my social life.. maybe it was all the working interfering in my social life, that would make a lot of sense... although being a security guard at a hospital was not the most glamourous job, i can honestly say it tought me a lot about people.. but this is barely relavent to this school year and what is happening now, although my job is the only reason i can afford to eat and have a social life...

getting back on track...

in an attempt to stay on top of readings i try and do some each day, although i always seem to find rollercoaster tycoon to be slightly more alluring... with my first test of the year tomorrow i need to learn how to start studying and stop consructing hypothetical theme parks...

on another front..

hockey tryouts are now over and i'm surprisingly not too worried about what the outcome will be.. i'm pretty confident in my abilities, but i dont want to be too confident... however the situation in intermurals is slightly more worrysome... with our first roster folding, and the merging of two teams into one i was thrown back into the draft because of a lack of space on the protected list...
today started to look up with another team taking a slight interest in my abilities, but now i am curious to which team will be picking me up in the draft tomorrow - the old team that essentially abandoned me, or the new team that seems far more promising in ability..

Maybe things do happen for a reason...

.. although i enjoy procrastinating, i must stop 'blogging' - or as i prefer to call it 'your personal diary to be viewed by the world' - because i really do need to study...

... although who am i kidding, i'll probably just go on facebook

you can't say you'd do any different...
