I need to hit up the vanMall still. :D
In the meantime, I get to plan some hang out for tonight at my house because we 'never' do anything at my house. so what if it's true...:P
Oh, I also am starting another blog, called "To the Mount!" chronicling the escapades of my HL posse. Just because we have so much friggin drama, it would make such good novel material, and i can't bear to let it go unwritten. So I'm keeping the master in a word document, then changing the names before I put it online. I'll market it as fiction, but it'll be almost entirely fact. Woot! Good times. i haven't decided whether I'll be another character or write from the first person. I'm excited.
So I'm going to go read parts of the Kite Runner now. Yay honors discussion dinners.
Oh, I think my gpa's a 3.4706. Yay me. Not bad for having no idea what my grades were in any of my classes. Now THAT's scary.

One down...seven to go
[[From my Facebook Notes]]
So, I've officially completely my first semester at the Mount. Wow. I think it's safe to say that I had absolutely no idea how amazing it was going to be. Living on my own (with Kayla!), being on first name basis with professors, Mount Theater and Wind Ensemble, staying up all night goofing off only to have some of the most amazing conversations comparable to those I had with kaylala (only in the honors lounge...), having as much drama as the ocean has water, figuring out what the hell Chicago style format is, Sister Doctor, vibrators...the list goes on and on. One thing, though, is that I'm so glad I came here, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I had no idea that I'd meet such awesome people here. Who knew that the east coast had cool people too? I don't know what I'd do without my girls and my Honors Lounge buddies. You all are my rocks and a never ending source of amusement. I miss you all so much now that I'm back home...but hey, that's what facebook is for, right? :)
But most of all, I've learned more than I ever thought I would. Yes, I actually remember what the festival of Dionysus was and what battle the movie 300 was based off of. But it goes beyond that. I know that I'm starting to learn a lot about myself, and I realize that I'm changing, and that I'm not going to stop changing for a long time. I'm learning how to simultaneously disagree with and learn a lot from professors. I think I've become a bit more open minded, and learned that that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm less Catholic or more liberal (even though that's what it may seem like). I think I've become more moderate, at least for the time being. I've learned that first impressions can reveal people who are the complete opposite of who you thought they were, and at the same time turn out to be not that far off. I've learned that sometimes I have to make a choice and stick with it, even if it hurts. I see that maturity is something that comes with raw life experience, and that nothing else can really replace that. I've learned to do my own laundry. I've learned that sometimes you have to really suck things up and be a better person than you want to be in order to save friendships, because it's far better to mature up than to let out your emotion and kill something that could last years. At the same time, I've learned that it's ok to just go off by yourself and break down for a while, because it'll make you stronger in the long run. People are people, and if you want any kind of friendship with someone you have to accept them for who they are. Real filial love goes beyond the petty things. I see that life's hard, and that the more opposition you have the greater potential you have to become great.
I'll find who I am and grow into that. I'll use what I've seen and heard from my past to understand those in my present and future. Even though it feels like I'm living two lives right now, I think it will become less so once I really start integrating the Washington Katelyn and the Maryland Schteinke. But I know that I'll become one person soon enough. The future is wide open to me right now. The doors are going to close eventually, but for the meantime I can peer into their contents to see where I want to go. Above all I've learned that I have a long way to go: personally, academically, geographically.
And I'm going to savor every minute of the ride.

JEN: I love you schteinker-bop
JON: wow. thats some quantuum stuff right there. some quantuum stuff "k-a-t-e-l-y-n." there. i actually said your real name. and now steinke will be a term of endearment. okey dokey then. you should be a writer by the way. you write really well and some really good stuff.
DEREK: pretty intense. my favorite part was when you said "I've learned how to do laundry" in the middle of all that serious stuff haha. syke, it was all really good. I agree, I think its amazing how much of college has nothing to do with school. We are all just a bunch of clueless...young adults...trying to find themselves and figure out what the hell is going on. and we screw up a lot of times, and ohhhh yessss there will be drama, but it seems like we are learning from everything that happens, be it good or bad, just tryin to come into our own. im glad i ended up at msm. and im glad you did too. im glad everyone did, cause whether we like it or not we have all had impacts on each others lives in one way or another.
amen stanky, it should definitely be an interesting ride. lets all make the next seven just as memorable as the first.
JEN: preach it derek bridge.
and let us thank god the whore of babylon isn't in our midst anymore.
SETH:Deep stuff!
I'm going to be so sad next semester when I can't go to the Honors Lounge that much anymore :/
ME: Meh, I just try to tell it as I see it. But thanks ya'll. :D I love you guys so much! 24 more days...not that I'm counting or anything. ;-)
JON: i feel like im commenting on a southern baptist church forum or something. preach it, ahow the good lord asaid it aderek abridge. HALLELUJAH! the whore of ababylon will no longer be in oura presence whena this good lifea ends. i know this has nothing to do with this note at all. not a single thing. but i felt it necessary. how come you dont make notes more often?
DEREK: because you touch yourself at night.
JON: and guess who im thinking of.
DEREK: wow you do it to nicks mom too? small world.
ME: wtf?
Oh, and sorry about those Ravens, Derek. In overtime, too. Sad day. But my Packers won!
JON: nuh uh. not at all derek. it isnt anyones mom. sorry to destroy your note thing steinke. i blame it on derek. and im not sorry about those ravens cause i dont even know what happened.
