Monday, Monday

Sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me. And today I did, it just felt like the day dragged on and on and would never end, I just couldn't wait to get out of class, and when I got back to my dorm I started crying. It was really nice being home for 5 weeks, and it felt like that was my life again and I guess I was feeling a little homesick with a combonation of being tired and having the Monday blues, but whatever it was I couldn't stop crying, I didn't know what was wrong with me. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind and I guess it all just caught up to me.

Anyway after a couple of hours of tears (yes, I'm a crybaby) and fixing my face I went to dinner with Britney, and everything was totally cool. I realized I was fine, I was happy, I have great friends here, and I really need to just learn to take it one day at a time. There are going to be good days and there are going to be bad days, and today was a bad day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, I LOVE my schedule fore Tuesdays/Thursdays and I'm going to be positive! I'm going to pop in an Elvis movie (Viva Las Vegas I think :)) and get a good night's sleep, and have a better tomorrow! :)

Bowling For Ice Cream

I had a fabulous weekend with my girls here in Vegas! We planned our girls night out on Friday night at Red Rock Hotel and Casino to go Cosmic Bowling at their bowling alley. We had dinner and went bowling (I lost, haha) and we had a TON of fun! But that was only the begining of the night...after we go done bowling around 12:30 we decided we wanted ice cream. Dairy Queen? closed. TCBY? at the AIRPORT! haha so we go to The Strip, and decide we'll go to Serendipity. Well after we FINALLY get into Ceaser's Palace (did Ceaser actually live here?)...CLOSED, Cheesecake Factory...closed. Soooooooooo we go to Wal-Mart, around 2 am here and FINALLY get out ice cream!!! Then Alexe spent the night in MY room! We watched Full House and fell asleep around 4 or 5.

Then last night me, Ginny and Kimmy went to Town Sqaure! Always such a fun place! And we walked, window shopped and went to see "No Strings Attached" it was sooooooooo cute! Today we went to Target, pretty chill but still fun! We're about to go into Week 3 and I have high hopes for it! I can't wait to have more fun with my girls! I love 'em!

Goals, Dreams, and Aspirations

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do and who I want to become, about turning my dreams into reality, about turning my aspirations into goals. I want to be somebody, I want to do what I love. They say you never feel like you work a day in your life if you do what you love and that's exactly what I want to do.

I want to be in Viva Elvis. It is my abslolute dream show, the ultimate for me, and I want to be a part of it. But getting a gig with Cirque Du Soleil isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, luckily I have had SOME exposure to it, but I need more. Also I have a strong desire to be a pin-up model, I am absoloutly fascinated with the culture and want to become well known in it. I have a lot of planning I will need to do, as well as hard work ahead of me, but I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen! Just wanted to share that since it's been on my mind. I think maybe putting your goals out there is a step closer to reaching them.

TCB

So, I'm done with the first week of classes! I actually really like them...with the exception of a couple, haha *cough* Music Theory and Modern *cough*, but I can deal, just get it done. My jazz class rocks, my ballet class is sooooooooo much better that last semester and so is Choreography, so for the most part I'm happy.

Of course I've been hanging with my friends and catching up, and it's really good to be back, I didn't realize how much I missed them, I'm looking forward to all the fun stuff we're planning!

I was mildly freaked out when I got a message from Financial Aid saying that my loans hadn't gone through yet, and tht I would owe cloe to $10,000, and maybe even get kicked out of the dorms! It really scared me, and proved to me just how much I REALLY wanted to be here, I cried a lot about it and didn't sleep very well, but everything is taken care of now! THANK GOD!

Now it's the weekend and I'm looking forward to some fun! Alexe and I are going to the movies tonight to see "Black Swan" and I'm sooooooooo excited, I've been wanting to see it for a while. It's only the begining of the semester, and I've already done A LOT of TCB'n, and I'm sure before it's over I'll do A LOT more, but like I've said from day one, it's an adventure!

New Semester!!!

So, I'm moved back in and just go done with my first day of my new semester!!! It was a really great day, I woke up with this great positive energy and carried it with me throughout the day, I'm feeling really good about this semester and putting my new year's resolutions in action! I'm going to try and make this such a better semester than last, not that last semester was bad, but this one's going to be better! I can make it whatever I want it to be, the possibilities are endless! I love the feeling I have, this sense of being recharged, I've got a lot I want to accomplish by the end of this year, and this semester will be a great addition to it! Soooo excited! Viva Lindsey! Viva a New Semester! Viva Viva Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Resolutions

I'm not back in Vegas, but is a new year, so I decided to share my new years resolutions.

1. BE MORE POSITIVE! I'm going to try to stay positive at all times, even when things look like there turning cloudy, I'm going to try to see the silver lining!

2. BE MORE CONFIDENT! I'm going to stop doubting myself so much and focus on all of the wonderful qualities I have and all I have to offer to the world.

3. DON'T WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE! I'm going to be 100% me 100% of the time, I'm not going to worry about what other people think, and I'm not going to change for anybody.

4. LET THINGS GO! I'm not going to obsess over little things that happen, I'm going to let things go, shake them off and be carefree and have fun!

5. BE NICE TO MYSELF! Even if I make a mistake or do something stupid, I'm going to be nice to myself about it! I'm going to "forgive" myself and get back on track.

6. LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST! I'm not going to hold back at all this year, I'm going to get out there and have as much fun as I can, you're only young once and I'm going to soak as much of it up as I can!

7. FOLLOW MY DREAMS! This year I'm going to get serious about persuing my dreams, I want to start making things happen and feel good about what I have accomplished at the end of the year.

So there they are, my LUCKY 7 resolutions, I'm keeping myself to all of these as I continue on in my great adventure!
