ashley's corner II

as a result of the praises and compliments i've been bombarded with these past few weeks concerning "ashley's corner", i've decided to keep it coming. for the good of the people. haha just kidding. but seriously! 
so school started yesterday, and in the past 24 hours i've decided that being a senior is the greatest thing ever. we have block schedule at bonanza this year, and a senior can take a minimum of 4 classes, so for me that means 2 classes a day!! its beautiful. this year is going to be the best. 2 of my classes are way easy and 2 are AP, so its pretty well spread out. my favorite part is i get out at 9:55. hallelujah! my mom thinks its nuts haha but i rather enjoy it. i got a new job at a dry cleaners (dont worry everyone, i still work at farm basket) that starts at 1, so i get home eat some lunch, take a nap, do whatever i want and then go to work. the only thing i CANT do is text. i got it taken away. sad, i know. but believe it or not, im still living. the trick is i try to ignore the withdrawls and the pain in my heart that i am going through. 
other than work and starting school, not much has been going on at all. i got called to be on the seminary council, so i think that will be a lot of fun, i love everyone on it. kami has been gone for a week.. and it sure is weird not seeing her everyday :( alex leaves this thursday (in two days!! yikes!) and kristine leaves sometime next week. we've all shed tears and yes, it is going to be hard but i finally think everything will be fine. the more i talk to people about it, the more i realize that the situation isn't just my four best friends leaving me here all alone while they go to party at college. it will be hard for them too! they dont know anyone up there. look at kristine, shes going all the way up to idaho for who knows how long without a single person she knows. i suppose i was being a little selfish and bitter about being "alone" for my last year of highschool :) but they will be going through the same things too. we'll all be meeting new people and joining new groups this year. and the great thing is, as we're gaining all these new friends we will still have each other. i know we will probably never be as close as we have been these past 4 years.. but im just so grateful that they even came into my life. they have all helped me grow in so many countless ways and we've made each other who we are today. its hard for me to grasp the fact that we wont be seeing too much of each other anymore, but thank heavens for cell phones, right? fab 5 forever :) 


well thats pretty much all thats on my mind right now.. i've got some tivo-ed oprahs to watch so i will catch up with ya later. 
i'm out

Ashley you should really start your own blog - you're a natural! You will have a GREAT Sr. year because YOU are great! And you're right... attitude is everything... so glad you're having a good one about the BFF's leaving.
Glad you get out so early, that'll give us time for lunch! yea!
