So...what now?

at 08/12/09 2:35PM *

Man, this place (pleonast) is foreign to me. I hardly know what to do with myself. Here I am, sitting on my bed in Arkansas (if that can still be called my bed) trying to think of something creative and witty to say to announce my re-arrival. And I got nothin. Still, I have a head cold so at least I have something to blame. I hope no one is too terribly offended by my lack of an elaborate re-introduction, but really, forgiveness is a wonderful thing, and I'm doing you a favor if I help you to learn it.

=) I'm glad you're back! And I can relate to the "if that can still be called my bed"... My parents are in the process of replacing my brother's and sister's beds at home with double-beds, since they're both married now and both have kids, and they told me they're going to go ahead and replace mine with a double-bed too. I said "Oh really? Well, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Really, there's no hurry at all..." I guess that has nothing to do with it, but it really just doesn't feel like home anymore.

Greetings! =)

you're still in BG for real, though, right?
cause we still have that pending lunch date, once i get the yet-to-be attained job & whatnot.
in any case, welcome back.

And in this crazy life...

at 06/15/08 4:26PM

So for about a year now I have been completely, 100%, totally, absolutely, without a doubt....burnt out on life. As you can imagine, this is not really a good thing. It messes you up in a big way. It makes you dislike your self and everyone around you. It makes you negative and self absorbed. It makes you lazy and apathetic. All the way around, it just does not do good things for you.

I'm getting back into life....and I'm really diggin' on it. I've been to Houston once, went back to Dry Creek, let down lots of boundaries between me and some old friends. I've been reading ALOT, singing, and thinking. Lots of thinking. It's been a good summer. And something tells me the best is yet to come.

Wow, a whole year? Glad to hear you're picking yourself up again.

by dr_corndog at 06/17/08 12:47PM
I miss Jessalyn!!!! Call me! Mayhaps we can get together somehow this summer.

by desi at 06/17/08 6:08PM
Yay Jessalyn! I'm so glad you were able to be a part of Dry Creek this year :) I miss you already!

by flattyer at 06/18/08 12:03PM
Jessalyn, I can't remember when you didn't sing. Singing is good for the soul.

by suttonscribe at 06/23/08 11:44AM
i always wondered if you ever felt burnt...i guess you can, too. yay!! you're human after all ;)

by chooselove at 06/25/08 1:37PM
Hey, I'm glad to hear you're getting back into life! It's really an exciting, beautiful, and wonderful gift from God if we use it in His service. See you in a couple months!

sometimes when life looses it's appeal i go camping

by kytar_heel at 07/15/08 8:34PM
or sometimes i watch funny videos on youtube, it just depends

by kytar_heel at 07/15/08 8:34PM
spending time with motivated people also helps. enthusiasm is very contagious

by kytar_heel at 07/15/08 8:36PM
Let me be the first to offer you a new beginning on my weblog. It is the only way; search your heart, you know it be true.

Happy New Year!

by sirtorin at 01/01/09 5:49PM
i wonder if more than a year later you still feel burnt now that you've left the panhandle...
it was nice talking tonight, not that i think you'll see this anytime soon, or ever.

by chooselove at 07/02/09 10:25PM
You need to come back. Because I'm back. And you're the one who got me started on this whole business anyway!

Inward musings.

at 05/03/08 8:33PM

I have started journaling again. Nothing like good ole self reflection.

I'm tired. And home. I have too much stuff.

Hi, there! Having too much stuff makes for a crowded life.

by AlanL at 05/03/08 8:39PM
good idea :)

by ctburks at 05/04/08 1:32PM
Well I hope you don't think this counts as a legitimate journal entry. I expect real content when I read a blog update, ma'am.

Standard idiosyncrascies

I love Russian things. Art, music, literature, ballet, gymnastics, dark and gloomy atmosphere. I would absolutely love to go to Russia. I love Ayn Rand, Tolstoy, Rachmaninoff, Dostoevsky, Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and.....not.....communisim. To me, it is such a fascinating culture. I have been musing over these things as of late.

Chorus tour starts at 5:30 tommorow morning. It is nearly immpossible to pack for spring break in a carry-on size suitcase. I'm doing my best...packing lots of mix and match staples. I had to include at least one pair of vintage shoes....I do love my grandmother...even though it is because of her that I could never learn Russian.

I've been reading Proust was a Neuroscientist. It's brilliant. Literature and science combined= the essence of my soul. I look up physiological psychology majors tonight....turns out they don't exsist in undergraduate form. I'll stick to me biochemistry.

Speaking of majors...I'm getting ready for my sophmore recital. I have a Handel aria that is so insanely hard, but so much fun that I cannot give it up. It's called Sweet Bird. Pretty much, it is me singing like a bird. So fun.

Sorry for this jumble of thoughts. I'm just rambling.

Die Nacht ist kommen.....Ich muss schlafen.

I wrote my handwriting sample for the Life Enrichment program tonight in German. Es war sehr gut.

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, O Herr! Es sehnt sich meine Seele nach dem Vorhof des Herrn.

by dwatkins at 03/07/08 12:42AM
Oooh chorus tour :) Have fun, dear!

by desi at 03/07/08 12:46AM
i didn't realize ayn rand was russian. shows what i know even though i've read a good bit of her stuff

by chooselove at 03/07/08 7:49PM
schlafst du gut! (that could be entirely wrong, but you get the idea)

by chooselove at 03/07/08 7:50PM
*insert something witty in german, here*

Der Nachmittag kommt, ich mu ein Schlaefchen halten. (The babelfish is my friend.)

Neuroscience is so fascinating! I wish FC offered a course in that. Let's convince them.

by jmetzger at 03/11/08 7:27PM
Good luck with elections today!

by pianobub at 04/03/08 7:58AM
I read Crime and Punishment. That's a pretty Russian-esque book.

You'll have to fill me in on how the musical was...I'm sure you were brilliant! I miss you!! Much love!

by desi at 02/04/08 12:42AM
