Well dearest ones, the summer is beginning to face its impenetrably close DOOM! Alas, SCHOOL IS ALMOST UPON US!!!
HUZZAH!HUZZAH!!!!
I'm extremely excited for this school year!! I got all the classes I wanted(well...ALMOST! I'm missing out on AP Art and Art/Music History and Creative Writing and Web Design and Sculpture and Botany...Oh well!! That's why I have to graduate so I can take these classes in college!!)and I have GREAT friends to start it with! Less than a year from now I'll be a little graduate...*sniff* I just can't talk about it without going all teary eyed...
On Saturday I got a baby sister!! Her name is Giuliana! (Jhoo-lee-ahna) I'm her superior in age by a month... my parents really need to learn their math again considering my wish for a baby sister. BUT Giu is everything I could ask of a baby sister, minus the diapers!
You'd think there would be a law to cease such happiness, some kind of tragedy to balance the joy...but instead I get TWO sisters! My favorite older brother (my only older brother but still!) is FINALLY getting married!! (Like the song from the second Aladdin!XD) And my soon to be sister-in-law is named VANNI! Cute huh???
So now I have Giuliana and Vanni...*sigh. I guess all that praying for a sister paid off! (Don't give up Niki! It could happen for you too!)
And to just add one of those disgusting, but cute, cherries on top of the Sundae... I'm engaged. I know! I saved the best for last in my opinion. Now don't be hasty to judge! We love each other as much as Bella and Edward! (HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA....not possible-but close!) His name....is Waren.... WAREN! waren.... Waren. I love him I love him I love him! I met him at efy and everything...fit. I had a rough time one of the nights as we were heading to the girls dorms, and he notices. Ba-dum Ba-dum. He walks in step with me...and doesn't say a word for a minute, respecting my feelings...then as the Chapman Halls begin to come into view (our dorms) it begins to drizzle ever so lightly. Yet you could still see the stars in the sky, brighter and more brilliant than ever. He and I both stopped and stared at the heavens above, admiring and wondering. After a moment I realized the rest of our group had gone on ahead...then glanced at the boy who's figure was a still silhouette against the light of a nearby lamp post. He turned his angelic head towards me, his eyes soft and reassuring. He stepped closer, and my heart raced. He took my hand, and my face flushed. He whispered in my ear, "What's the matter, Tess?" and my eyes teared. All I could do for a reply was shake my head, looking down, embarrassed for his attention-no matter how strong my desire to have it, who was I to ask for it? A droplet of rain caught on my cheek to join my other tears...he wiped it away, then smiled his softest smile, and ever so gently...he slid his arms around my waist, and guided my head to his shoulder, into the most comforting and gentle hug I'd ever known. His firm arms, protecting me from whatever caused my distress. But even though my wounds were on the inside, I felt his compassion heal them. I felt his warmth, and the pain melted away. We stood there, the rain showering us with its gentle blessing, for several long minutes. Then, timidly, I hugged him back, and buried my face into his shoulder, holding him tight and he held me closer. I looked up and smiled, my gratitude radiating through my expression. He must have sensed it because the concern began to fade from his eyes...and his face communicated a silent 'you're welcome'. I didn't want him to go, I didn't want to let go, I didn't want us to part, but he had already given me enough strength. And so it was I who broke our embrace. I stepped back and sighed,"thank you", with the rain whispering its melody, I couldn't be sure if he had heard, but he seemed to understand and as he turned to leave our hands lingered, gently grasping each others fingertips until we broke away. He silently watched as I turned and stepped into the halls of apartments, and when I peeked behind me...he had gone.

*-SIGH-*
Then I went home and read Breaking Dawn.
I will never be the same.
