Hi again blog world

It has been some time. lots of things going on, not much motivation to write. it was a rough christmas season for me, not because of family troubles, just a rough time. Things are looking up a bit now that Im back to school, but the break was much needed for personal sanity haha. still havent completely unpacked everything, and Im okay with that looking forward to classes this semester- they will be interesting but a lot of work. cheerleading is already straight insanity. but its okay. I keep telling myself- April. got an amazing camera for christmas. very very happy about that. had a good day so far.

just to show myself the excitement ive had today, gonna write down the people  I care about a lot that I saw today

-kristen b, rob l, brittany d, kelly d, valerie, HANNAH D!!!, jackson c, stephen h, tyler g! wow its been a while since ive seen him., and soon to be alex!  wow. awesome. lots of people. glad to be back in raleigh. so glad.

on a good note, I know someone in every single one of my classes

oceanography has jimmy and andy! boring technology in society has stephanie in it SPRINGBOARD DIVING!!! jake is in there, intro to film has kristen and rob, intro to elm ed has valerie , and insects and people- stephen and chris (so far thats who I know. so excited)

getting out of my rut. hopefully.

really diggin

these lovely grey pants

ooh and this suit

so i realized

i havent written things in a long time that actually reflect how i feel

and right now, I feel like total hell.

school is sucking and grades arent great and i have so much work i have to do in the next two weeks. no idea how i will ever get it all done.
cheerleading also is not.. well its just not.   1. what i expected, 2. like last year, 3. making me happy.
boy spectrum sucks. well the boy sucks. well not sucks. I suck. it is just not where i thought it would be.  had a rough night last night. it got better, but for a while it was tough.

just the irony of life. losing my idealist thoughts is breaking me down. I hate the fact that I have no idea who I am right now. cause I sure as hell am not the same person I was a year ago. and I don’t hate it, it is just a new skin for me and i feel all squirmy and lost and alone. i guess this is what a mid life crisis is like? or maybe just a part of growing up.

my photography is currently sucking too. or my picture taking, hardly photog. so who knows.

here is callie right now,… ____

trying to find my way back to sanity and consistency and happiness/contentment with myself.  looking to god. but confused as to where he says things about getting back on my feet. for present life. looking to eternal life is just confusing right now. idk.

the end. swear im not going to slit my wrists. haha

 

a couple of social thoughts

walking around campus has made me think about some people things.

1. why is it that in colllege, a lot of people forget their manners. whenever I go to the atrium to get food, it is rare to hear a please or thank you or have a good day to the ladies who ring us up. I know it’s their job, but it feels like a lot of people just ignore the fact that they are people, and just might need a few kind words to brighten their day.

2. i also really have gotten in to photographing strangers. i know that might seem a little weird, but I always find people I do not know in a crowd to be captivating.  certain behaviors, like people running to others to say hi and give a hug always makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

3. on the other hand, I was reading one day in this big building near the stairs, and I heard this couple having a very sad conversation. well not sad, but it made me sad. they were arguing about something, but not thinking rationally at all, and completely ignoring the fact that there were people all around them. I wish people could take the time to slow down and collect their ideas before they use hurtful words that don’t improve situations at all.

4. as much as I love my music, I feel retarded sometimes when I yell someones name and they dont hear me. hahahaaa.

5. text messaging has gotten out of hand. even for myself. I wish people (including me) wouldnt be so reliant/expentant to hear the phone ring. there are people all around.

6. I strive to be happy. but it can be hard sometimes.  being with people makes me happy, but sometimes I feel that the people that make me the most happy are not sure what they want from the situation. kinda like there is this wonderful boy who is so much fun, and have a great time, but where to go from here? cause i wouldnt mind progression and we act like it, but we arent. why? and why do I worry about it so much?

 

i used to be really idealistic, ad I think that college and experience has started pulling me back to earth. I think that my expectations for other people have been lowered, even though there is still that part of me that is disappointed when its not what I expect. so my heart/mind is currently in disequilibrium I guess.

anyhowwww, still working on my 365. on like 189 or something today? check it out. flickr.com/photos/cekirsch/

hi world

I know I have been away for a while. I have been using flickr as my blog means.  I have been doing well lately on a happiness factor, but have not been doing well on a school productivity level. Im at that time that happens every year where I just go into why am I at school? mode. I cant concentrate in class, and have lost the ambition to do the necessary work outside of class. how do I fix that? will share a few shots from life lately to show you whats up.

hope everyone is having a great friday. love.

talking to one ofmy friends about life. he says “big fear. okay go.”

i pick 3.

being alone. for like forever

letting people down.

my parents dying. or grandparents. or anyone close.

im not scared to die. just dont want the people  I care about to go. selfish? maybe? but how I feel.

what about you? what are you most fearful of?

notes took on the car ride back to raleigh

got a new phone today. pretty cool. Grandpa had a triple bypass today. was really nervous about it all day. ended up making another quick trip home to see him. Family from AL/GA were there. that was nice surprise. football game in the evening. looking forward to pyramids and stunts. Rob started high dose chemo (again). keeping him and his family in prayers.

OKAYY so a little bit of an explanation…phone took a dip in a water puddle from a cup like a couple of months ago. finally started acted up like yesterday. then the screen turned white. I wanted to cry. after an hour of sitting and waiting (and wishing haha) at the verizon store, I had my phone. and was late to get my sister. awesome. but got home and saw aunt and triplets and uncle and cousins and gma and parents and sibs. so it was a good day. off to bed. its so late.
