Josh Groban
So She Dances

A waltz when she walks in the room
She pulls back the hair from her face
She turns to the window to sway in the moonlight
Even her shadow has grace
A waltz for the girl out of reach
She lifts her hands up to the sky
She moves with the music
The song is her lover
The melody's making her cry
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know where to start?
She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart

So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

I can't keep on watching forever
I give up this view just to tell her

When I close my eyes I can see
The spotlights are bright on you and me
We've got the floor
And you're in my arms
How could I ask for more?

So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

I can't keep on watching forever
And I'm givin' up this view just to tell her

Josh Groban
In Her Eyes


She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possession
All I call mine
I will give her completely
To the end of all time

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

In her eyes I see the sky and all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by and she is with me

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
In her eyes I am

I GOT A 4.0!

I GOT A 4.0!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it!? I GOT A 4.0!!!!!!!! Moved my GPA up to a 3.4, which still isn't good enough - but so much better! 4.0! I've not had that since High School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I moved out of school last week - but haven't really been home. Friday - spent time with friends then went to a lecture by Matthew Stover. Was spectacular.

Saturday - GalaxyCon and Cincy Public Library. Research and Star Wars -- what a mix! Was tons of fun. Also bought about 13 books there. Sweetness.

Sunday - Wedding for Brad and Aileen. It was wonderful to see my friends again.

Monday - Doctor and voting and errands.

Tuesday - Eye doctor and errands, and trying to figure out how to get to Kaplan so I don't get lost next week.

Wednesday - up at 6 to go to the HS with mum and stayed around till 2, then came home and cleaned.

Today - Up to go to the orthodontist then had lunch, and now cleaning my room AND REALIZING I GOT A 4.0! (Amazing what only 15 hours will do for someone.)

Tomorrow - Up at 8:30 to call the doctor for test results and see where I need to go next, then go to Indy with mom, hang out there till dad's out of meetings, then go with dad to the booksale and ride back with him. I love booksales. It's been quite too long.

Saturday - go to Louisville for an early Mother's Day. Come back that night.

Sunday - Freedom? Maybe? Freedom = cleaning rooms.



I think I may be able to see again soon. That is super exciting, since this has been plaguing me for the last two years. I've repeated this several times already, so I'll basically copy paste what I've told people.

I already have 'accomodative insufficiency', which means that I have issues focusing from near to far and so forth - basically my eyes over-focus. I also, we found out, have this thing called 'esophoria', meaning that even though my eyes are perfectly aligned when I look at something, I see it cross-eyed, so I see double vision. Which is why, no matter how good of a prescription I have, it doesn't fix the problem, and words still look blurry. My eyes are young enough, apparently, that they're working overtime to compensate for this double vision, so I just have a major headache and see blurry instead of double, and it exhausts me cuz they're trying their damndest to make me see one image, but only succeed in making it blurry. So we're putting prisms in my glasses to refocus my eyes so they can comprehend what they see, where they want to see it.

I'm so excited! I might actually see like a normal person again!!! I need better vision before I do all this research - last year almost killed me because it hurts sooo much to read and see.

I GOT A 4.0!

Okay, that's all. Cleaning and working on research. Tons of fun!


PS. I have been extremely clumsy and full of weird luck today. Don't be suprised if I manage to hurt myself more before bedtime.

I can't make some of this stuff up.

I get a random note saying 'yeah I sold the kayak, want to go out with my best friend instead', a good friend started speaking to me again, I went on a midnight walk with a friend, burned myself MICROWAVING dinner, twisted my ankle walking down the hall after my final, and cracked my head loud enough someone outside could hear the 'thunk' when I woke up.

I'm afraid to move out now...

Could this week get any weirder? What a silly silly week.


PS. FINALS ARE OVERRRRR!

What a week!

Been a crazy week, I swear! I had a final that I got Friday, and spent all bloody weekend working on it, and turned it in at 11am today. It was due by noon, but I didn't want to wake up earlier. Yesterday I had lunch with Noah, dinner with Mike, saw Hannah during lunch, and am going to dinner tonight with Steph (Keyes)! Last week went to lunch with Meg as well. I'm soo happy this semester's classes have gone so well. When I was at dinner last night, it amused me that I wasn't carded when I got a drink. lol. mmm... it was tasty. Welcome to Miami, I guess!

So Atlantis is playing until 3 today. Exciting. Enterprise on tonight. Met Wahl's parents as they were packing him up to go home. That was fun. Apparently he's not leaving till Thursday, but this was the only day his parents could come help him pack up. I'm really quite tired, believe it or not. Ugh, only two more finals. Hannah said there's a group of people heading to POTC3 for opening day, and asked if I'd want to come. Psh, YEAH! What was she thinking!?

Alright, time to go update the old pirate blog. I need to check in with Cayton once a week over summer to keep him updated on how I'm doing. Sooo sooner or later I'll start posting more on there. Even though I'm sure most of you will find it very dry and boring. ;)

Matthew Stover!

I'm excited. I mean, seriously. ^^ So going to that!

Alright, back to working on my exams. This amphibious warfare one is being a pain.

I Hate Miami

I hate Parking Services.

I hate IT Services.

They offer no 'services' except, well, giving me a headache. So after dealing with them for an hour each, I'm no better off than I was earlier, and that was two hours I could have done something else.

I have both of my take home finals now. Let us hope the internet lasts long enough to succeed. And I get to wait around till Thursday for my last final. Bleh. Ah well.

Trying to still mend friendships I really screwed up earlier this semester. Course I'm finding that extremely difficult when it's a one way conversation. I even got the courage to finally leave a message on the phone, and hung up before I started crying. And it's still a one way conversation - by the looks of it it's gonna stay that way.

Trying to figure out a good week for Cris to come visit for a while. So excited! We're gonna have a Star Wars / LOTR / Harry Potter / Pride and Prejudice movie marathon! MUAHAHA!

Okay, time to return to finals.
