rainy day (non)blues

Today has actually been a pretty darn good day so far despite the rain and my less than perfect health. I'm glad to see the rain although I hate it. Does any one else struggle with finding something to wear on the rainy days other than me? I mean,  I had to fight the urge to wear my sweatpants to school today much less find an outfit that actually looks half-decent. I feel the need to dress up on Tuesdays and Thursdays even if its raining because I tutor at a local elementary school for my Educational Psychology class. Its funny to feel like you have to wear something to impress two 7 year old girls but hey, I do.
One hiccup in this morning's getting ready ritual: the hair dryer blew up! Like, really. I turned it on and sparks flew (and not the kind that fly when you kiss someone, either) then the inside of the hair dryer started glowing fire red like it was on fire and became unusually hot. So I had to let my hair dry naturally after deciding that hanging my head over the heater in my room wouldn't work. :P

So I'm getting anxious for March because on the 20th, my cousin and I are going to Greensboro to see our (new) favorite band in concert, Go Radio. pleaseeeeee check them out by clicking here. They're releasing their new album, Lucky Street, on March 1st and I've already pre-ordered the album in a kick-boooooty bundle with a shirt and an autographed poster. (Can ya tell I'm a tad big excited?) My cousin and I have already seen them once and fell in love with them immediately. Well, partly beacuse the lead singer of Go Radio used to be the 2nd lead singer of Mayday Parade.
YAYYYY! How can I be in a bad mood when listening to an iPod playlist full of their songs? I think "The Truth Is" is my favorite followed by "When Dreaming Gets Drastic".

Well, ta-ta for now. Listen to my band...

~See you later, Sarah

Selamat datang!

So those words up there are how you greet someone in Malaysian (according to flickr). I just created an account for a class photography project and I thought it was pretty cool they greeted me with a new language greeting each time I log-in.

This is my first blog...ever...and I'm a little nervous to see how this goes. I've always wanted to start a blog but never got the courage to do so...until now. I'm going to think of this as my diary...a way to let my inner thoughts come through (although, not the super personal ones 'cause, well, that's for me only). :P

I guess I'll start by saying something about myself...I'm 21 (woo) and a student at a slightly popular North Carolina university....okay, who am I kidding? We are way popular! We are notorious in the college football world and even Adam Sandler's movie "The Longest Yard" even talked about us (when we were less developed when it came to football). Anyways, I live in a small town about 40 minutes away from campus and I love it up here in these mountains. I'm pretty country and very rooted in my faith. I'm studying English Education here and I've made some great friends in the process. I'm an only child which of course means I'm extremely close to my parents. I would rather be barefooted than without shoes and I'm a daddy's girl. 
Well, I can't think of anything else....so this must be it for now.

Never say good-bye because good-bye means forever...so see ya later. <3
