to my friend Amy

Dear Readers,

I want to tell you about this girl I know named Amy. I met her several years ago on an online forum...not long after joining, we became pen pals, which was the beginning of a cherished friendship. I have been very blessed to spend time with her in person for about two weeks time, but even though most of our interactions take place over skype and text, this girl knows me better than any of my other friends.

Amy, thank you for being so supportive even when I don't return the sentiments. Your friendship means so much to me, truly. I wish I could give you a "believe pill", a medicine that makes you believe everything I say to you when it is true. So here is the pill, take it and believe me!

happy 21st birthday dear friend. :)

love,
Olivia

First off, happy happy happy birthday to the most amazing Meghan in the world! Readers, you may see her comments on most of my posts. I have met Meg once in my life, and at that time we didn't really bond seeing as we did not yet realize the hidden treasures of our friendship. But afterwards we really began to get to know each other, and what a privilege that has been! She is a few years older than me but we share many similarities and she is really a terrific online (and offline!) friend. I can't wait to see her again and hug her to death. Happy birthday Meg. :)

oh!! IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!! *dies of happiness*

Guess where I am again? Panera bread. There is an old lady looking at me...she just keeps looking at me. Creepy. Or it would be if she wasn't an old lady with a pink sweater. They have rewards cards for free now here at Panera. Go get one! Once you register it online you get a free something yummy! :

I turned in my chemistry test today. Only one more and then the final. I felt a bit better about this one than the last, I just hope my grade reflects my confidence.

This should be a good week. Tonight my sis and I go out to dinner with a friend of ours. Tomorrow I'm going to Bible study, Wednesday is dance, and on Saturday night I'm going with a friend out to dinner and then to see a community production of "The Importance of Being Earnest". So excited! Plus, I've taken all my tests for a few weeks so I can take it a bit easier.

I need to remember when I hate life that I really do love life.
