May 10, 1997

I just finished my freshman year in college two days ago. The first semester my gpa was 4.0, I'm not sure about second yet. Majoring in Biology. I love it! Work-study with Dr. Wright. He's the most intelligent person I have ever met in my life. I am a biology lab assistant. I will continue my job this summer, working with statoblasts and animals in Moccassin Creek. Taking a prairie ecology class this summer. Played my violin in the Civic Symphony. Still working at the Millstone as a waitress. Since 8/95. Long time! My brother moved to SD from TX last Oct. his girlfrined, Trisha went back w/children, Dominique and Ariel. Good news! He works at Midcom. I pick him up from work at 6:30 every morning. Dad has back problems. PD is trying to fire him, I believe. He went fishing at the river today. He has a trailer out there. I'm eating a butterfinger blizzard from Dairy Queen and listening to Jewel. Mom is living with my high school Orch. teacher, Mr. Witte. He's pretty narcissistic. She doesn't have a job and quit going to school to be a nurse. She may go back in the fall. Mother's Day is tomorrow. Charlie and I bought her two bird-feeders and a bag of feed. We already gave it to her today though. I'm going out with a guy named Neil J. ... I love this song (Adrian). ... Neil is coming over soon and we're going bike riding. ... 12 packs of pop are on sale for 1.99 until tonight at Kessler's. I love Spur. He's at Mom's house. Dad's allergic so he can't stay here. Jenny and Ryley are here, though. I hooked up to the internet yesterday. The internet is really awesome. I am so in love with my bedroom. Mom has a foreign exchange student from Estonia. He is 17 yrs old. Very naive. Hey my friend Teresa has been in Germany this whole school year. She's coming home in July then leaving again to live in California. I miss her. She's the coolest person I have ever met in my entire life. We used to stalk boys together. I stalked Nick Fischer and she, Jeremy Brown. I order a lot of clothers from delia's. They have cool dresses. Quentin Tarantino kicks ass!! Patty has three children now. Lance, Stephany and Dallas. Dallas was born last summer. I love her children so much. There is a coffee house that opened up. It is a really nice place to hang out. the owners Dan and Kylene are really cool. Dan just got married to Angie who works there. They kicked Kenneth out. I'm disappointed. I invited Ken for Thanksgiving but when I went to pick him up he said "no plans today. See you tomorrow!" I wonder where Neil is. I'm going to surf the net. ----
