Finding Neverland (Widescreen Edition)

Ok who chose to make the background funky, puke-yellow? (*cough cough* Courtney!)
Ummm...my fall break is the same as Courters! The 15th-23rd of October, although I'll be coming home late for break and going back early because we have home football weekends on either side of break,which kinda stinks, but is also kind of nice....no pressure football games....we have like five in a row starting with fall break which is craziness!!!
Alright loves, I need to go to sleep...I have a test tomorrow morning and I need to actuallly start sleeping before them or else my brain will never function.
Although this is my quote of the day: "Sleep? Pshaw......Sleep is for mere mortals!"
haha!! Love you all!

Alrighty Girls!!!
So My weekend has officially begun because the 18th president of Notre Dame is being inaugurated today and so all classes have been cancelled (including my organic chem lab....which I am just THRILLLED about!.....so thrilled in fact that I used three L's instead of two!) I know it probably seems that I'm not having much fun here and stressing out way too much....but the truth is that I'm really enjoying myself...it's just that I'm not used to being "average" and here I'm definitely barely above average. There are so many brilliant people majoring in science, it's incredible. So, basically I've just been going through a huge adjustment period where I'm realizing that I"m not going to be the best ever again.....although I definitely totally led our genetics group discussions and had to explain stuff to everyone....so I felt smart there. But other than that, I'm seriously enjoying myself....everyone has been so wonderful.....my roommates are sweet.....before I have a test, they'll leave me notes and candy in my backpack and on my computer wishing me good luck. After I thought i flunked orgo (which I ended up getting a B on---which is actually a GOOD grade), So many people left me gifts and notes trying to make me feel better.....it's such a different environment and I love it so much. Paul's been expecially supportive........it was really weird....we had a discussion about how serious our relationship is because a lot of people have asked us "How serious are you two?" I'd never really thought about it before.....his response was that he sees a lot of potential between us....and that he sees us going far, possibly getting married (which, for me, was like....WHAT?). I haven't even begun to think about that possiblity.....but he said the more he gets to know me, the more he can see us having a future together.....it's insane for someone to tell you that. SO I'm not sure what to think about that one.........
Anyway, Shannon I'm home for like two days of your fall break....but then I go back to ND for the BYU game....my parents will be up for that one. And I'm pumped about you visiting...and Liska...how bout I transfer to Xavier? ....Courtney I've really enjoyed talking to you, however briefly on AIM this past week,.....and the rest of you.....you better be having a fantabulous time....or else....well ......I'll send some drosophila on you to give you the mutant gene for white eye color.
Love always,
Monica

Hey dearest friends!
I'm so glad that everybody is actively posting....I however have been unable to even think about looking at this site.....I've had the worst week of my life....It started out really well because I got my first paper of the year back and received an A. (hooray!!) But then I just had my huge organic chemistry test today and I studied so hard for it all week....and I failed it. Not only is it my first test at this University, but it's also the first (and easiest) exam of this class. I've basically just dug a hole for myself and I have no idea how I"m going to pull myself out of it. Naturally, I'm very depressed. I feel like I've had a major ego crash......I know I"m smarter than this......this didn't need to happen. I really studied my brains out for this test....I don't know what went wrong. I knew this shit. Oh well. I'll do better next time...hopefully. Or I'll just flunk out and become a PLS major. haha....no I would never do that.
Alicia, I'm sorry to hear that you're not having the greatest time at Xavier. Anytime you need to talk to me about anything, please feel free to IM me or call. I'm always willing to help.
Courtney, I'm glad to hear you're having such a great time in your delta gamma sorority....that's amazing that you're gone to being so much more happier this year than last year....I'm so glad. You needed that.
Elyssa, I hope you're enjoying your classes and that you and your roomie are still having the bestest time together!!! I'm sorry I really haven't had the chance to talk with you much this year so far....we're just going to have to do a lot of catching up over fall break!
D-Port....I just noticed that you divorced Joe Hake on the facebook. Or was it the other way around? I was never able to keep up with your soap opera lifestyle.....just kidding. I hope you're having a blast at the Dale!
Klinker.....geez I miss your pointless stories!! You need to start sending those again. Those always brightened my day! Or you could just post them here. I'd try to come up with a few of my own, but I think that's a purely Klinker talent.
Andrea.....I'm glad to hear you're doing well and that you were able to help Cliff settle in alright. He's closer this year! So you''ll be able to spend a lot of much needed time together. That's so great that you have such a wonderful guy in your life....but he's especially to have such a lovely girl to hang out with. I love you and miss you soooo much. Come play with my siblings over fall break!
Shannon......I'm bummed that you might not be able to make it to ND this semester. that's ok....we'll find another time to drive around South Bend without our headlights on at two o'clock in the morning....haha....smashing good times that was. Come visit soon! I miss you and miss how we are both ten times busier than last year and aren't able to talk everyday on the IM.
Anyways.....I love you all and miss you dearly. Come visit if you like.....if I haven't flunked out. We'll see!!!
Love, forever and always,
Monica

It's My Life, Pt.2
By Bon Jovi
Hello Darlings!
I should be in bed right now, as I'm suffering from a severe head cold combined with allergies. But I'm not, because I wanted to post here! So let's see......things are going well here, except for the fact that I have had this before mentioned disease hanging over my head for the past four days. I'm loving ND. It is the greatest place to go to school as far as I'm concerned. Even when I'm studying, I don't feel like it's work. It's really weird.....I'm really enjoying it. Not a day goes by when I don't thank God for sending me here....It has been truly magnificent so far.
You know what else is truly magnificent? Being able to see the guy I love every single day! How neato is that? I swear that my love for Paul has only deepened these past two weeks.....he's honestly the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for. And he keeps getting better. Especially these past few days....he's been taking care of me while I'm sick: Giving me medicine, making sure I get enough rest, stealing my organic chemistry textbook so I don't attempt to study instead of resting.....etc... Tonight was sweet: I went over to his dorm to do a little homework before we both headed off to mass at 10...and my voice was strained, my eyes were watering and my nose was running. I looked like a rat that had gotten caught in a hurricane (speaking of hurricanes....that hurricane down in New Orleans sounds freaky!!) At any rate, I was feeling gross and very germy. Anyway, he was walking me back to my dorm and he remarked on how he thought it was funny that I refused to shake anybody's hand during the sign of peace at mass that night. I replied that it was because I didn't want to infect anyone with my vicious disease. Then I informed him that he probably shouldn't be standing so close to me, as I was very contagious. Instead of heeding my advice, he grabs my hand, pulls me close, and hugs me while saying: "I don't care." Isn't he a dear? I'm sorry....I'm just totally in love with the guy, and you all are probably so sick of me rambling on about him.....the thing is that I know he really cares for me when I look at him. He just has that look.....it's not an infatuation or a random crush. I really feel that there is something very special between us.....even if we do part eventually, I feel that there always will be a special bond between us. Crazy.
Anyway, I'm so psyched about this xanga site....and you'll probably find me posting here often! Ummm....don't let anyone else read the crap I just wrote above!
Love you all!!
