anyone guess the musical?

JSC Seems to be getting dumber adn dumber. In order to reduce paper use on campus, they are not letting off campus students have mailboxes. Anyone else pissed about that?

Told my parents i am going to kyle's for the weekend. They seem fine with it. mainly because a)they are picking meg up this weekend so they won't be around an 2) cause I had offered him first to come here. So thats good. I want to tell them about us, but I want them to see that we are good just being friends again first. No need to worry them right now, know what I mean? I want them to like him first, not have to learn to like him. Not that they don't lik him, just some ainimosity from the who break up/SA. I just dont want to start a fight when I tell them, I want them to be happy about it.

Work is going well. Its weird to return and be getting a smaller pay check even though I got a raise. lol Joys of going back to school early. When I think about it, I would have more money by stayign at hale the extra week, but hell, i want to get to school and I feel its one of my last chances to give back to JSC before I leave. Plus it looks pretty good on a resume.


Thats all for now. Not feeling the update

Putting on the radio after not listening to it for about a year and hearing Katy Perry's song "I Kissed A Girl". Awesome song.

awesome weekend. I was feeling down, but doing but better. YAY.

End of story.

Yeah, i finally have a few minutes to post on here!!! YAY. Well more like 5 mins, but still.

Life is going pretty good right now. I signed my lease this week to live with Adam, Nick and Jermy in Eden. So thats pretty sweet. I requested to get my housing deposit back from JSC. As well as the first part of my internship form and my graduation request cause it is due the semester before. So yay for paper work.

I am currently signed up for 7 credits next semester. I am trying to do 6 credits of internship, but if not I will probably add WFR and improv and that will take me to 14 and I will do my internship over the summer, but the lady I am meeting with cannot meet till the 2nd, which is pulling it close and the training for it us during finals. but I don't have many so it should be fine.

Urinetown is coming together nicely...finally. I am excited for it. We open tonight!!! I actually have to head out to cash a check and buy toilet paper for it. The cheap stuff I got tears too easily. it reminded me of Ellen D last night when they were trying.

Good news....Joey officially asked me out to dinner! On sunday, not sure what time or where, but still cool. Brittney says she is gonna dress me up> Why not? The only weird thing is I asked Lauren on a date a while ago but since she is in RI, we don't know when that will happen. But thats alright. I don't really want to start a relationship like 3 weeks from summer. But who knows.

Thats me right now. Now I must be off to buy stuff then have our lambda meeting to debrief pride and nominate people and buy shirts. Lol. go Lambda!

Good news

you can search for classes for next semester online now.

Bad news

the only two classes I am required to take are at the SAME TIME. What the fuck. I am so fucking mad right now.

The play is going well. I am working hard on it, but I am loving it. The cast is cool. The crew (minus one) is cool

classes are alright. I think I got a B so far in Peace & War. I got a B+ in Ice Climbing and an A+ in Snowshoeing. Ropes starts next week. Brad and I have been planning it. I am excited for it. Ed. Psych is ok. I got to do class observations this up coming week. I need to schedule that ASAP. WLT is going well. We are so excited for our trip. That reminds me I got a test tomorrow. Darn it. I got the homework done though. YAY. And Acting I love and hate. I can talk about that more after. YAY for sword work!!!

Lambda is pretty cool. Ally dinner is coming together. Its sweet.

Yeah, thats it for now.

COME SEE THE ALTRUISTS!!! March 20, 21. Its free!!!

Been busy up here. I am excited for my weekend away. I hope it goes well.

I was thinking the today about something friends have said to me. They are pretty good friends, but I had not had a class with either of them until this semester. Earlier, Danielle said to me she was surprised with how much I speak in class. She was not expecting it. Granted, if she took a breather when talking to me, she might not have been so surprised to hear my voice in class, lol Just kidding. Then today in Ed. Psych, Marie said that she thought I was a really good student, I pay attention & participate and prepare (when I have a book). Its weird. I know I have never been a bad student, but a good one? Its weird. I mean, minus this semester, I have not been great in the academics. But its cool to hear. That people see me as a good student. And in normal classes, not my Outdoor Ed. stuff. Just cool.

Anyway, I got some pics to share. So yay.

I found this looking up information for lambda, and it actually made me cry. So I thought I would share it.

An Ally's Promise
By Anthony J. D'Angelo
from the book Inspiration for LGBT Students & Their Allies

I believe...
I believe success is the freedom to be yourself.
I believe nobody is wrong; they are only different.
I believe your circumstances don't define you,
rather they reveal you.
I believe without a sense of caring,
there can be no sense of community.
I believe our minds are like parachutes.
They only work if they are open.
I believe we only live life once,
but if we live it right, one time is all we'll need.
I believe we must first get along with ourselves
before we can get along with others.

I will..
I will seek to understand you.
I will label bottle, not people.
I will grow antennas not horns.
I will see the diversity of our commonality.
I will see the commonalty of our diversity.
I will get to know who you are rather than what you are.
I will transcend political correctness
and strive for human righteousness.

I challenge you...
I challenge you to honor who you are.
I challenge you to enjoy your life rather than endure it.
I challenge you to create the status quo rather than accept it.
I challenge you to live in your imagination
more than your memory.
I challenge you to live your life as a revolution
and not just the process of evolution.
I challenge you to ignore other people's ignorance
so that you may discover your on wisdom.

I promise you...
I promise to do my part.
I promise to stand beside you.
I promise to interupt the world
when its thinking becomes igorant.
I promise to believe in you,
even when you have lost faith in yourself.
I am here for you.


ok late for Christian Fellowship.

I am highly amused watching JSC students at 1 am trying to get up the McClelland Hill when it is iced over. Then they make ti and try sliding down it and fall on their asses in the snow. So amusing. I love my room.

Current Location: Room
Current Mood: amused

Yes, I have moved into a new room. And guess what! It is a single!!! Me, in a single. Never thought I would see the day. But it is awesome. I got so much more room. And I am keeping it clean so far.

( Click for pictures of my new room )


So far, the campus is empty. Its weird. I hung out with Nancy a bit cause I drove her up here and to to her place. I saw Amber last night at the Hub (which is amazing) and this afternoon. I went over Tom's the other night to say hi and he made me lamb.

The team building thing with res life went well. it was short, but thats alright. Everyone said they had a great time and we did what they wanted to accomplish. So I started off the semester with ropes stuff and got $50 for it. Who could ask for more?

I have been working on stuff for Lambda today. I figure out who are active members. We got 12 of them. That is pretty cool. And 14 who are non-members. I have been figuring out events to do, like going to St. Mike's and having them come to us. I find that really important. Next to pride week, I think that is the one thing I really want to do. Meeting people outside our little school and making connections to the greater GLBTQE community is wicked fun & important. Then there is planning for pride week. So that is just crazy, but in a good way.

I thought I was supposed to go to a movie tonight with Danielle, but there was a communication problem. So we are going tomorrow night.

So, thats it for now.

Dude, saw rent today. 1st row, pretty much center. Amazing!!!

*************************************************************************

Eating is still off with me. Maybe it will get better. Today I had a pretzel, some honey chicken cause Jacki decided we were doing to a chinese food place for dinner (and I hate asian food), and a beer. And I am not hungry. Anyone who knows me knows when keri is not hungry, something is wrong. So I am a little worried. I will give it time and see what happens.

Yes, I am home for the moment. I got back on monday night. I woudl stay home longer, but i am seeing Brenda monday night. We are going to go see 28 weeks later. So excited I found someone to go to the movies with who will see a horror movie!

But yeah, home, hence the writing on livejournal again. I seem to only do that when I am home.

Things at school have the highs, and lots of lows.

I have not decided if I am leaving JSC yet. Probably won't. The head says stay and the heart says leave. Go figure. I am gonna apply to a couple of places and figure stuff out as I go. I am gonna apply to St. Michael's, Sterling College, Green Mountain College and Springfield. St. Michael's is amazing, but expensice and they do not have outdoor ed. They do have an amazing wilderness program, just not for credit. The other three have outdoor education. I sort of want to stay in VT, but transferring is such a pain, I would rather not worry about money being out of state.

Why stay at JSC? Transferring sucks ass. I have made a name for myself in the OE program. The theater peeps are awesome and I can go to any of them if I need them. Minus the class I dropped that they have not taken off my transcript, I have a great GPA. I am going to be president of Lambda. I am one fo two students involved with the womyn's center (and we have a new advisor, Karen Madden, who is talking to the President to get us a budget and all sorts of stuff, yay). I might be playing hockey.

Yeah, lots fo reasons to stay. I guess it depends on this final week and the summer. I figure, it can't hurt to apply, right?


In other news, the registrar is making me mad. I got charged for 21 credits when I am taking 18. So yeah, not happy. They said because I withdrew from a class instead of drop (which they recommended, not me), I am still responsible for the charges. I did not know this, so I am requesting to either drop one of the classes I recently added (theater casue i coudl getcredit when I ddi not think I could), or change it from a withdraw to a drop.
But what really gets me, is that though I withdrew from the class, the grade is still on my transcript (how I got a D without doing any work, I am not sure). So I get charged for withdrawing, but still have a grade. What the hell? It brought my GPA down ridiculously.

Yeah, thats life at school. Check out facebook for pictures from cabaret and rollerblading.

I came home this weekend for a few reasons. Getting away is a good way to think, but also to surprise my mom for mother's day. The fam was off to Leominster for my cousin Jake's 1st commiunion, so I had the hosue to myself. I did some cleaning and unpacking and my mother foudn me at home. My sister was in on it. It was awesome. My mom's face was priceless.

I got to take meg to Kohl's to get her her graduation gift. She wants a red sox jersy and she said they are on sale there for $40. Works for me. I still may pick her up something little in Burlington if I get the chance, but still. It works.

I want to take a trip to the Mac store, but I shouldn't. I am in lack of money. My last check from work study will be bg this time though. I got a few hours in Shape doing a group on a rope course. I got $40 from the OE program for another ropes coruse group. And then I had some good hours at the womyn's center. So that will be nice.

Then I am saving up for P-Town trip. No one form JSC is going. Ash still might, but I doubt it. So I asked Renee. Renee wants to, and she has a girl now, so she will come. Then Kathleen will most likely ome as well. Renee said she will brign a friend that she thinks I will like. Sounds good to me. lol. I still got to talk to rusty first. Yeah, got to do that.

Going to church tonight for the first time in a long time. Wish me luck.

Yep, i am on feb break and I have nto written in a while, so i am.

I am still on campus, I got a class everyday but wednesday. I might go skiing on wednesday, if i can get some people form my class to go. Heidi said she might, that would be cool. Hopefully more then that cause the more people the more fun. lol. but my class is cool. It is hard. but it is good. Thinkign under pressure (and this is jsut simulate) is tough, never mind if it was the real thing.

the school is rather empty. It is weird not having friends around, it am fine though, I went to walmart (about 45mins to an hour trip) by myself and i found it. It was cool. I bought too much stuff...or spent too mcuh money should i say. ah well. it happens.

my glasses still have nto come in yet. these ones are horroble. they are old so i cannto see well, and i remember why i had no friends at SCS. lol

yep, that is it for now.

Finally, got the dates for the VM, 8pm March 23rd, 24th...and yes, the 25th. Aka my birthday. Good and Bad I guess. Tradition to be involved with a show on my birthday. Problem though. I wanted to have a get-to-gether for my birthday. Problem is it might turn into half cast party, half my brithday party. I hope not. I hopethey do the cast party the day before. I want to invite people up for the show on my birthday, and i dont want to be going to a party that is not really for me on my birthday. I would rather be with my friends, go out for a drink or two, thats it.

I guess it depends if anyone will actually come to it. So please come!!! It would make me the happiest to get hugs on my birthday as well as perform....hopefuly well.

Yeah, I have not updated in a while. I have been reading my friend's journals but I have not been inspired to write.

I am working in the womyn's center at the moment. The internet on thsi campus has been messing up royaly lately. Oh college.

I have not started working in the climbing wall yet. I need to get on wendy's ass about that soon otherwise I will just work in the theater this year. I am waiting for the Vagina Monologues rehearsals to start up. I know one date of the show is March 31st (aka close to my birthday, so birthday ideas for me would be to show up and make me happy!). I am not sure if there is more then 1 night yet, I cantget a hold of Racha.
I am working crew for the Foriegner. Which si gonna be awesome. I working undet the trap door or something. SWEET!!! First rehearsal for that is on sat. at 1. So I got to come back from NH a little earlier than expected, but that is alright. I was coming back saturday for the Rave anyway. I got asked to go..like on a date...so I was going anyway, but now it is more exciting. Want to know more about that, ask.
I joined dance ensamble. Not sure how well that will work scedualing wise, but that is alrgiht. It is a huge commitment.
Skit decisions has not started yet, we are tryign to figure out when to have ti cause our sceduals keep changing. lol.

Classes are going alright at the moment.

I am missing people lately. Like Marie, Danielle, KJ, Kathleen, FPC people. I will manage. I might just be visiting people soon to cheer myself up. lol. I lvoe having a car. glad my work as started up a bit so i will have money for gas.

For those of my friends who have had a lousy/hard week. Call me anytime. My number at school is (802)-635-1575. Or my email is KeriC325@ya
