And I'm back!

Everyone talks about seeing their life flash before their eyes, or seeing a bright light just before they die. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't exactly die, but all I saw was what could have been slip through my fingers as I saw Jake look at me one last time. I didn't hear or feel the impact, I didn't see Jake's side of the car get smashed, all I saw was what I knew my life could have been play out before my eyes and I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that I would never have that life, nothing would ever be the same again. - Kyla in Changing Tyde

It's been a while...sorry about that. I'm sure you're just DYING to know every little detail of my life...ha ha ha! That's almost funny, I know! Um, lets see here, I am back in school and still working 2 jobs. That's lots of fun. This last week has been a little bit rough, but its all good, its over now, HOORAY! I am taking a couple of Institute classes, which have proven quite interesting. I took one of them (The Atonement, Repentance, and Forgiveness) because the teacher is a great teacher that I've had for other classes, and the second I took (New Testament, Acts to Revelations) because I'd never taken it before. I thought the NT class would be the one with more people and really cute guys in it that I would like best, but I was quite wrong.

This semester is proving to be a very interesting one and I am very excited to see what happens. I am taking Spanish, Biology (because oh yeah, I failed it last semester...) and Racquetball, which I am really not very good at yet.

Okay, so I was looking at the new shows coming out this season and saw a bunch that looked lame *cough* Melrose Place *cough* and saw a show called the Vampire Diaries...first thought was "Oh my gosh, how lame...let the stupid vampire trend die already!" but then I was just a little bit curious, so I downloaded the pilot episode for free off itunes, thinking it was definately going to be some lame twilight wanna be show...but I was wrong. I watched it with Fort, who wanted to see it because Ian Somerhalder from Lost was in it, and my brother was down that night too, so he watched it with us. I must preface this story with the fact that this particular brother HATES twilight, and all things associated with it. For whatever reason he did watch it with us and although he wasn't super impressed with it, he said it was an alright show, not something he'd watch. But the fact that he of all people didn't think it was twilight-y made me happy and in my book made it okay to watch :)...he's probably reading this and rolling his eyes, but that's okay, he's still cool. But yeah, I liked the show, its not for everyone, but don't expect it to be all twilight-y. Ian Somerhalder is actually quite entertaining in it...he's the bad vampire, because of course there's a good one and a bad one...
Also, as you can see from the quote at the top of this post, I have been writing again. Well, I never really stopped, but apparently my creative juices flow a little better when I've got school subjects on my mind...who knew? Any way, I am still working on Jason and Kyla's story. I still really like Changing Tyde for the title, but have heard a lot of mixed responses on it, so I don't know for sure if stay or not...
