So, I have known this was coming for about 2 years now...but I never knew how sad I would be. Everything is "the last." Tonight, when I did my ritual for the last time, I started crying. I am so jealous of the people who get to stay another semester, not because of the drama and bullshit, but because they get 5 more months to screw around, be lazy, and have fun. Friday is KA's Christmas party-that is my last "official" social followed by Installation and Transitional EC on Sunday. I am so nervous...I thought I had it all together-but I don't. These have been some of the best years of my life and, while I know I always have the memories, I am left with this aching feeling that everything is about to change...and it is. No more all nighters with friends, no more TJ's free beer nights, no more wondering from fraternity house to fraternity house, no more sorority formals, no more recruitments(call me crazy-i love recruitment), no more laughing till you cry in the cafe, no more Thursday night karaoke, no more...
Most importantly, I feel like there is some beef with some of my closest friends and I don't want it to be like that. I just want to enjoy these last few weeks and not remember the awkward bad times but the good, laughter-filled times. I love all of you and will miss you terribly. Please keep me in the loop, at least for the next semester! Enjoy your time here...I know it is so cliche to say it flies by but it truly, truly does. Here's the song that's really been on my mind lately...call me silly...

Time, sometimes the time just slips away
And your left with yesterday
Left with the memories
I, I'll always think of you and smile
And be happy for the time
I had you with me
Though we go our seperate ways
I won't forget so don't forget
The memories we made

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
And we were wild and free
Please remember, please remember me

Goodbye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's sad to walk away
With just the memories
Who's to know what might have been
We'll leave behind a life and time
We'll never know again

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
And remember, please remember me

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
And we were wild and free
And remember, please remember me

And how we laugh and how we smile
And how this world was yours and mine
And how no dream was out of reach
I stood by you, you stood by me
We took each day and made it shine
We wrote our names across the sky
We ride so fast, we ride so free
And I had you and you had me

Please remember, Please remember

Please Remember-Coyote Ugly Soundtrack

So I have been ultra depressed lately and, at first, I thought it was because I was about to graduate. Now, I am thinking it is because I am still here. I dont know how people who have to wait till the spring are going to do it. I am so sick of the bullshit here...the little cliques who follow the older one around...grow the fuck up. Most of you have been out of high school for at least 2 years. Also, I am so ready to give up all my leadership roles- I hate when you ask someone to do something that IS THEIR JOB they bitch and moan that they dont have time. Well, I dont have time to remind you 14,00000 times and if the event doesnt happen, guess who gets blamed? You're right- the person in charge (ie: me).
There are a few people that understand where I am coming from but there are a select few who are still playing daddy's little angel (more like devil) and just dont get it. I am sick of being just the friend, or the 2nd in line all the time and hate even more when certain people rub it in your face...sorry I do not spread my legs wider than Texas.

That's all...I miss everyone and I miss "the good ol' days."

Yeah...

2006-10-03T07:15:47Z

I have been in the strangest mood lately. I am getting nostalgic about everything...I am slowly realizing I have 2 months left...I swear I think I am depressed.
Life is so easy right now and I am not excited about it not being easy anymore.

I also am hanging out with some people that I havent the past few years and I just hate that I have waited this long to get to know them...I guess better late than never:)

Good note, I am on the voting ballot for Senior Homecoming court and Ms. Lambuth...it's a really nice feeling.

I am going to miss it so much. Ugh, I need Tinkerbell...

I am having boy problems too...even though I am totally single. I think these problems are making me realize WHY I am single. I can't deal with it:)

I am looking for jobs around here...I just dont think I can take going back to Memphis unless I get a rep. position at ALSAC, which I dont think I will at the time.

I am looking at some non-profits here and in Nashville and Knoxville.

Well, I am going to go work on my film paper and my senior seminar presentation- I have NO motivation right now!

hello all

2006-07-25T15:06:16Z

Well, I am alive and well. This summer has been extremely hectic, but fun and memorable. I am interning at St. Jude again- but in another department. I miss my friends in Sports but I am glad I had the other experience. I have a week and a half left before getting back to my LU and AGD duties.
I thought I had everything after school figured out but am slowly learning I don't. I now am thinking differently about grad. school and what career path I want to pursue. I have grad school down to a couple of choices: U of Southern Mississippi, U of South Alabama and my top 3 are: NYU, Cumberland U, and U of Tennessee. U of Memphis is also my back-up. I am about to start applying so wish me luck.

I hope everyone else is having a good summer...I will be seeing all of you in a few weeks!

Here It Is...

2006-05-02T02:21:46Z

So, here's one.

Yesterday was graduation. I am a little sad I didnt walk with '06 since I should have but I am glad for another semester of fun. I teared up as a couple of people walked across...

Last night, Tequila Joes...most random assortment of people ever but so fun. I got a concussion on the way home when we went to go pick up Gov, Granier and Rachel who thought walking home was a good idea...Love them!

Got up (somehow!) today at 8:15 and left Jackson. I had a Dr. appt. at 10:30. I met a girl there and we started talking. She has had mono for 3 months and is on homebound for the rest of her 9th grade year. I told her I had Esptein Barr Virus(chronic mono) and I understood how bad life sucked. A lot of people thinking wearing pjs all day and watching TV is fun but, believe me, when you do it every day for 6 months, it's not. I too missed my 9th grade year b/c of my "chronic mono" and it was terrible. I got depressed and felt I missed out on so much. She found me after her appt. and started crying and told me it was so nice to talk to someone who had been there and come out OK. It made me feel really good about myself to know I could use something so crappy to help her cope. I gave her my e-mail and told her to call if she needed to talk ever.

So, a fun group of us decided to check out a sketch bar in Bemis this weekend. We met a friend there and someone, or myself in my drunken state, gave him my number. He has called me a total of 13 times in 2 days. I am freaking out...he's a nice guy, and supposedly coming to LU in the fall, but can we say stalker?

I start at the Jude on the 15th and couldnt be more ready. I am ready to get back to all my old friends and go out on Friday and Saturday nights.

I am sad. I am going to miss everyone so much. Packing up my apartment was so bittersweet. I am leaving my best friend in the whole world b/c I felt we needed some alone time. I am living with 2 awesome girls and know I will have so much fun but I will miss my Katie.

To all my LU graduate friends, congrats. I am going to miss you so much.

Wes, dont know how I am gonna make it w/o ya kid. I love you.

I am going to finish unpacking some. Talk to you all later.

You know what really grinds my gears...

2006-04-19T06:08:14Z

Trying to go to sleep for 2 hours...people talking LOUDLY in the den which is 10 ft. away. Asking them to be quiet. Quiet happening for 10 minutes...and then doing laundry which is 1 ft from my bedroom door. I love the respect...

On a good note, formal was a few weekends ago. It went swimmingly. Old South was fun...I think last year was better but there were so many cliques this year.

I am done with 2 of my classes...got one final to turn in, two to take. Shouldnt be terrible...and guess what? I am done with spanish-FOREVER- a week from tomorrow!

I am so excited for this weekend- to cut loose with all of my friends.

Love you all!

Here's One..

2006-04-03T19:06:29Z

So, it's been awhile so I thought I'd enlighten every one. I have been SO busy. Last week was nearly the end of me. "Greek" week, or SAC events with sign in sheets, Pre-Initiation stuff, and Initiation practices , on top of 3 or 4 tests. Initiation was Saturday and Int'l Reunion Day on Sunday- both of which I am the presiding EC officer. We made it through though!

Today, I didn't go to Spanish or Film History. I am completely lost in Spanish and one-on-one with students seems to help me a lot more. When she starts talking, I get completely lost. I was late to Panhellenic Installation and then went to lunch. It's Int'l week so the food is funkier than normal. Just got out of Oral Interp- WHAT A CLASS!!!!! Now, I'm waiting to head down for my tour. Only 2 more weeks of tours for me- woo!!!

Tonight, I need to finish my Jude application, do homework and clean my room since Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow for honors day convo. The OCs and Sam are gfoing to dinner tonight at Mulligans- I cant WAIT!!!

Anyways, I am gonna head down to admissions. Thanks for all of your encouragement last week...it meant a lot:)

Thank you...

2006-03-27T21:28:55Z

So I was so worried about this week being insanely hectic...and it still might be. But I got all of my homework done for the week over the weekend, except studying for 2 tests b/c i dont have study guides.

But people like Ms. Brenda and Jordan and Javier and Curry and Bubba and E rob make my days bearable...I laughed out loud so much in class today and it felt good!

Ms. Brenda let me out of working in the admissions office early, because there was nothing to do and she values my time. Jordan asked me to Old South and told me he was so excitedto be going with me, which made my day.

Thanks to all of you. Sorry this entry is random...and I apologize if Im stressed and bitchy at all this week!

LOVE!

Have you ever been so overwhelmed, and somewhat frustrated? That's how I am right now. There is so much stuff that needs to get done to keep AGD running...I cant do everything. That's why we have officers...it is somewhat like a business. I just get so frustrated with people thinking their time is so much more valuable than my own, and they dont have time to nail things down. It's so not just a problem with AGD...it's every organization but that is the thing I am frustrated with right now. I know a lot of it is my fault b/c I want EVERYTHING to go perfectly, even if it's not my problem. I just hope people realize that deadlines are deadlines...for a reason and while sometimes people are flexible, we cant take advantage of it.

Sorry to rant...Spring Break has been OK...mom and I have been fighting a lot...I just think it scares her that I am becoming so much more independant. She still doesnt understand why I need my own place if I go to U of M for grad school...I wanna be like "Mom. this week is proof..."

I am heading to Hot Springs tomorrow for horse races and shopping. I am excited- I've never been before...

One final rant...I went to On the Border tonight with the 'rents...there was a sticker on one of the cars next to us with a picture of W with a caption that read "not MY president." How tacky! I mean, I could have made one for Bill Clinton and some of the other scum bags we've had in office but why? They ARE your Commander in chief...like it or not. I dont care if you agree with Mr. Bush but he IS your leader..or get out! I know the whole freedom of expression thing, but it's just crappy of them. Ugh- dumb people.

Anyways, I know this is kind of weird and long, but I'm weird- and sort of long...

Frustrated...

2006-02-19T06:05:22Z

I am so frustrated right now. I don't know if it's with myself, or just everything around me. I need my alone time and I can never have it...there are ALWAYS people at this damn apartment and they dont respect my space...

I hate being like this b/c I feel like I am being a bitch, but on the same token, this is my space and I am keeping to myself...why do you have to come over here and stay till God knows when in the morning? And I dont have a bed...

Ugh, sorry for the rant. I called my parents today b/c I was so upset...I wanted to come home today but damn weather stopped that...

They told me I am just maturing and the sitting around getting wasted isnt fun to me anymore...which it's not...I love to go out and party with the best of them but not every night. I'm also not into the random hook ups that seem to always happen, so I just look like a loser. I guess I just have more priorities than beer, sex, and making out with random people...

I am so ready for the summer and to be back at the Jude...

OK, sorry to rant...hopefully since this weather fucked up my weekend the least it can do is get us out of school Monday:)

I love you all...I promise I'm not depressed...just would like my alone time...

FRIDAY!

2006-01-27T22:21:07Z

Hey y'all,

I know it's been a really long time since my last update...I'm sorry...I read about all of your lives...or mainly the two Christies and Lauren...but I have been totally unmotivated. The only reason I am writing now is because I am waiting on my shower to get hot...I've been waiting 15 min already...lost cause?

My life has been OK. I've been sick since New Years and I can not seem to shake it...in return, I have been going home a lot to rest and relax since I always wanna go out when I am here. I have a dr. appt. at noon tomorrow. WOO HOO.

I took my 1st Spanish test today, it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be but still really hard.

A lot of us went out Wednesday to see Heather, our Chapter Advisor, off. It's really a hard time for me. On one hand, I am so proud of her and how she has conducted herself the last few weeks. (She lost both her mom and her job in a period of 3 weeks. She got an amazing offer in Lebanon and accepted.) However, on my selfish other hand, it is going to be so hard with her gone. She really understood me and my leadership style and AGD is going to really miss out without her. However, I have such faith and confidence in my sisters...they are supportive of me. I know that's corny, but who cares...

So I'm heading to Memphis tonight for beautiful Rachael's birthday dinner and then going to the dr. tomorrow...sounds fun huh?;)

Hope y'all are well...I miss everyone...sorry I've been sort of MIA.

Love and Peace...

Garrett Out!

WOO HOO

2005-12-31T08:03:33Z

I just went to the Boyz to Men concert...it was pretty freaking amazing. I knew all the words and I got a rose!!!!! YAY!!! We were on the 4th row and I took some pictures if anyone else is as obsessed with 90s boy bands like me:)

LOVE!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In September I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Last Monday I donated bone marrow to jer83 in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In August I helped lindsaylou21 hide a body (-173 points). Last month I turned ashandpeteshow in for eating carbs (3 points). In July I stole pandain2036's purse (-30 points).

Overall, I've been nice (92 points). For Christmas I deserve a new dolly!

Sincerely,
agdemmyg

Today, however, I heard the choir singing the alma mater/irish blessing and it made me realize that I do love working for this instituition and the people here...even if I pull out all my hair before Im done!!!

Thanks to all those who've lended a helping hand or an encouraging word, esp. my escort- you rock my world!!! Thanks for understanding "the funk!"

2005-09-28T20:34:15Z

Hi All,

I am still alive...have just been EXTREMELY BUSY. I have been driving back and forth b/t Jackson and Memphis to sing in Memphis in the fair. I did not make it to finals but, really, when has the fair really been a real judge of talent? Ive done much better in my life than most people who have won... and I am happier. I did an awesome job and went out with a BANG:)

My voice coach is amazing...I will miss seeing him every week...I wish I had of found him sooner. He was truly everything I needed in a coach. An awesome singer, performer and a great friend. He also could deal with my emotional side and my mom's pageant mom side when she gets nervous. All in all, it went well. Thanks to all who came out to support me...y'all dont know how much you mean to me:)

I am at my internship now. WHOOP DE DOO. I have to work phone-a-thon tonight but, hey, it's a little extra cash and I need it since I just took one another little. Wow, two in one semester. Butshe is amazing and Im lucky to have her, as well as Loralee.

Just to throw this out there, AGD is amazing. We have 20 beautiful new girls and I so proud of all of them. I am so glad to see you proudly wearing the letters I love so much!

Well, I need to get back to entering info into a spreadsheet- so entertaining, huh. Love y'all.

Oh yeah, I havent been too busy to forget football. HELL YEAH UT. KICK CAJUN ASS!:) Sorry, I know LA has been given a tough blow but they were ass holes about the whole situation...UT played a tough game and I am so proud to be a VOL FAN!:)

V-O-L-S V-O-L-S GO VOLS GO:)

I LOVE the KA pledges. They rock my face off. And of course I love my new Alpha Gam girls...they are too cute! They came over for a study party the other night and I laughed until my face hurt. I am so glad to have beautiful and talent INDIVIDUALS to call my sisters:)

Tonight is Ingram Hill. Magen, Mardi, and Jamie are coming up for it. It should be entertaining. We'll probably go to Red Dog or the Tavern afterwards..we're such alkys...

Wow, this post is random...

So this week has been long and tiring but the weekend is finally here! I have to go do my Oxley re-interview and go to Spanish and I am DONE!!! WOO HOO!:) Spanish may be cancelled because Dr. Spires was sick yesterday...not that I wish illness on anyone but her class drives me nuts b/c I am so confused in there and a nap would be so nice.

DATE PARTY is tonight! I cant wait! Wes and I are going to rock it out! WOO HOO! Wow, Ive said that twice in one entry, someone stop me, now. I still dont know what Im wearing but in good time pig, in good time. I hope all goes smoothly and no one starts any funny busines...I dont think they will but I am still a little concerned...

I am going home tommorow to practice for fair. I have missed the dog and cat and the normalcy of home. I know I'll be at the studio all weekend but it will still be fun. Lindsey, I wanna come hear you sing in AR!

I found out my fair dates yesterday, if y'all are interested...let me know- I would love to have some folks there!:)

Anyways, Im going to go do my re-interview even though I look like crap. I got up at 7 30 this am to go hang Jackson Sun subscription tags on doors. I MISS ST JUDE!

Love y'all- peace:)

Long Time, No Update

2005-09-05T21:30:51Z

Hello All. I am still alive and well, just tired. I have enjoyed keeping up with all of your lives...just havent felt like updating all about mine:)

Orientation went well...the freshmen were great...just some of the other OLs were annoying...but, whats new with Lambuth leadership? I did enjoy hanging out with the "cool rebels!"

Recruitment went wonderfully...I was so proud of Katie...I dont think Alpha Gam knew what hit them with everything running so smoothly. I have 12 AMAZING new women whom I now call sisters and I am so excited! I think we are going to have a great year!

I picked up my roll of film today from my last day at St. Jude/last week at home and I started bawling in the middle of Walgreens...I miss it so much. I had tons of pics of me and the other intern, Patrick, in there and I came home to watch him open as QB against Ole Miss and he got hurt on like the 3rd down. I feel so bad for him...he came from kicker last year to starting QB.

My classes suck ass...I have never been so bored in my life. Spanish is hard and I am completely lost in there...but my Comm. classes and Jr. Seminar- I have trouble staying awake.

Well, I am going to go work on some bull shit homework and do some new member stuff for Alpha Gam. I cant wait to be back in the normal swing of things again...Ive missed you all! Think andp ray for my friend Patrick...he loves football and is an amazing guy. I want him to be back out there!:)

PEACE!

Please leave suggestions....

WOO HOO

2005-07-26T21:18:00Z

So, I almost started crying today at lunch b/c my internship is almost over. Most people cant stand their internships- I cant stand to leave!!! Hopefully I will have another one next summer and maybe then a permanent job!!! I really wanna be here!!!

Not much else going on...I am ready to get back to LU though. Just ready to be back and be on my "college" not "big girl" schedule-hahaha! My first class is at 11 every day!!! I will be such a lazy ass!!!

I got a "one" bracelet today- to raise awareness for aids, poverty and world hunger...what a statement. It goes nicely with my St Jude one:)

Well, I think I am about to go clock out and maybe go get a pedicure...my toenail polish is looking ragged...I miss and love you all!
