thriller night : D

ttt*
Stephanie Curtis Woodbury, Sarah Ann Sessions, and Kaitlin Lou Klingler.
We've know each other from at least fourth grade and have remained friends. After having a girl's night one night, we all decided we would go out and have a date to see the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie. Sar and I had read the books and fell in love with the series. We went and saw it and that night, we decided that the four of us would create something similar to what went on between the four girls in the book. Instead, we bought a swimsuit top (it was summer). Freshman year, ttt developed. We had rules, we hung out almost every weekend the entire summer, and we continued to pass around the top.
Though the top soon left (someone misplaced it), we never did. We remained friends throughout the rest of high school and were known as ttt*.
Only two other people know what ttt* stands for, my mom, and k8's dad. It may have gotten out around school once (after high school of course), but I'm sure that person has long forgotten what it really stands for.
That's the coolest part. No one ever found out thorughout all of high school. Sure we had our ups and downs but we never revealed that secret. We gave everyone the same clues:
1) There's three of us
2) There was a tree house
3) There was a swimsuit top.
We've had some great guesses along the way, which are probablyt some of the funniest and most creative part of the entire process. These guesses include many "t" words including turtles, tits, tampons, thongs, teeny, tiny, totally, treetrunks, tortoises, etc.

Now, we are all in college and learning new things in life along the way. We haven't really grown apart, and I honestly don't think we ever will. We pass around a necklace now... every two or three weeks, or whenever we get around to it ... We have a small heart charm with ttt inscribed on the front of it. Along with it, we must send a letter enclosed with the necklace inside a special envelope decorated just by us. And of course there's other rules that I cannot reveal : )

Anyways, I love these girls. I would do anything for them and I hope we can always be there for each other in that sense...

Keep the guesses coming, it keeps me entertained : )

I'm getting married.

Okay, maybe not.
But someday, yes, I will be married : )

And not just to anyone. I have two options as of right now. Allow me to present my two options.

Option A
Robert Pattinson


or Option B




Channing Tatum

Can it get any better than either of them? I think not. I mean, Channing Tatum is a bit out of my league now that he is engaged and all, but as my friend Claire says, "a speed bumb, not a road block." That's right Jenna what's your name, I'm comin' after your man!
As far as Robert Pattinson goes, he's a British heartthrob and I don't care what anyone says, he played Edward in the Twilight movie fantastically. He wooed me over real fast and as far as I know, he's single.

Realistically though, I do want to get married someday. I used to be so against the idea, but I've come to learn that I don't want to be alone when I travel, or when I come home at night. And I don't know that I'd be comfortable enough with a permanent boyfriend that isn't my husband. I mean, I can see it, but I would rather find the man I'm supposed to marry rather than the boyfriend I am supposed to live with.
The problem: I've set my standards way way wayyyyy high. Possibly unattainable. I suppose the "standards" are just the things I find attractive in a man, rather than what he must possess. There are a few mandatory requirements such as he must be a Christian, and he must have a job that he can support himself in. Other than that, it's just a specific list of extremely attractable traits I find in a guy. I would love for them to be mandatory, but I don't know if there's a guy out there that has each of my "hot" traits.

I know that when I do run into him, I'll know. Maybe I already have run in to him. Maybe I'll run into him tomorrow. Maybe I won't meet him for another ten years. It's all possible.

The bottom line:
when I am meant to get married, God will provide me a man that will blow anyone else out of the water, that will sweep me off my feet in ways I've never been swept off of before (what?)

I hope it's not for a while though.. I have plenty on my plate as it is : \\

lists.

[randoms.

I'm okay at writing, when it comes to something I want to write about.
I've discovered this since writing papers has never been my biggest thing, but writing blog entries is something of importance to me... obviously. I'm not real keen on writing papers where there must be organization, transitions, thesis statements, etc. But when it comes to writing about something I'm passionate about, lemme at it. I would never call myself a good writer, just a good feelings express-er.

I want to go on another cruise.
I went on my first cruise last year

My mom asked me whether or not I wanted a pool, or to go on a cruise. I chose the cruise since I would be leaving to go away and the pool would not have benefited me much at all since UMich isn't exactly in my backyard.. where the pool would be located. So we went on a four-day cruise in the Bahama's with my grandma (pictured above, with our waiter). It was the most fantastic thing I've ever done. Whenever someone suggests to go somewhere and stay in a hotel, my instant response is typically, "Do hotels put the dinner napkins in your lap? No. Do they make towel animals everytime they clean your room? Sometimes, but usually no. Do they sing and dance for you when you eat dinner? No. And can you lie by the pool when you're in the middle of the ocean? I think not." It's pretty self explanatory.
The point of this was to say that next year, we are going on one for my sister's senior trip. And then when I'm a junior in college, to take a break from MCAT prep etc, I wanna go on a trip with my friends. I think that would be amazing. It'd be safe and relaxing. We wouldn't have to worry much about locals, and we could just tip back and relax for the week. If someone feels like drinking, they can do it on the boat and still be safe. I think it's genius. Expensive, but genius.

I don't know where I got motivation from, but sometimes I wish I wouldn't have gotten it.
Why is it that chose to be one of the hardest things in the world? More of, why did I choose an occupation that requires 12-14 years of schooling? Honestly, I don't wanna talk about it. But as soon as I become one and get those first few paychecks, you better believe they're going towards a fantastic vacation with my boyfriend/fiance/husband/whatever I've got at the time.

randoms.

[randoms.
in no particular order.

[thankful]
I am truly thankful for the beautiful world that God has provided for us. I decided I needed a break from campus since I was locked up in my room all last weekend (thank you flu) and came to my grandma's. First off, home cooking. Second off, she has a hot tub. So tonight when I wandered out, not only did I find a full moon, which didn't exactly benefit me at all, but I realized how lovely it really is. I'm not just talking about the fact that it's 40 something degrees out the first weekend of February, though I will never ever ever complain about that : D A plane flew over while I was getting in the hot tub; it was so low and close and I just stopped in awe and looked at it. Yes, I felt a bit peculiar, standing in nothing but a towel, gaping at a huge jet, but I did it anyways..
[speaking of planes]
I've come up with the fact that I want to get a license to fly before I die. Yes, yes, I know, I hate flying. I really really do. But I figure if I can sit there and perhaps control the one thing I'm deathly afraid of, I won't be so deathly afraid of it anymore.. : ) a few thousand dollars and a lot of time later...
[Gifted Hands]
I watched this movie tonight with my grandparents with Cuba Gooding Jr in it. It's about a man who has nothing as a child and grows up to be the greatest neurosurgeon in the world. It was so inspiring to watch someone who was brought up in a household where his mother couldn't even read, and she pushed her children to their limit to be all that they could be. And then to have the list of accomplishments that he has checked off... operating on several siamese twins and saving both of them. I aspire to someday be someone that is looked up to, maybe not to the extent as Dr. Carson, but hey, that'd be pretty rad too : )
[burnt out]
I'm beyond sick of school. Spring break is much needed. That was rather something that I needed to get off of my chest.

I'm beyond exhaustion.
Five hours of sleep is by no means reccomended and is highly ... unfunctional?
