Tomorrow is it. A new chapter of my life begins.
I'm keeping this journal, and I may update it with baseball related things.
It's amazing how much has changed in the past few years. I got this journal in 10th grade, and while I am mostly the same, I can't help but notice that the things I've gone through have helped me to become a stronger person.
As I said in a previous journal entry:
"Here's to the future, and to never, ever, forgetting the past."
Thank you all for the memories. You've all impacted me greatly, whether or not you realize it.
Farewell, Nyyfan24 (as a personal journal). You've been good to me.

YES network watchers...the girl on KOD who talks about the former Yankee greats...does anyone else think there's something weird about her? Oh, and don't get me started with Nancy Newman. :yawn:
Happy Belated Birthday John Vinicombe and Greg Orrigo!!
Yesterday I went to a great game..well the first four innings were great, anyway. Moose had one bad inning and unfortunately the Yanks couldn't score enough runs to get him off the hook. Bernie's homer was very exciting though!!

Also, I don't know when I will receive my laptop so I can't even say that you'll be able to talk to me on AIM once I get to school.

I'm free everyday except wednesday. If any of you want to hang out let me know because as of saturday morning I will be in Queens at school, until October.
It upsets me that I didn't see some people this summer that I wanted to see. I guess everything happens for a reason. It's been a rough summer in some ways.
Here's to the future, and to never forgetting the past.

Yesterday consisted of a lot of crying for me. I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends because she is going on vacation and won't be back when I leave for school.
Sam, you've been a great friend. A best friend. Have fun on vacation. You have no clue what a great influence you guys have made on me. I hope you save the note I wrote you. Everything I said is true. Take care of yourself and look out for them. You're a great person, never forget it.
It's going to be hard to say goodbye to everyone. I said goodbye to Ashley and Joe yesterday. While I didn't cry, it was still weird. I've known Ashley since elementary school and Joe since 9th grade. It's hard to fathom that I won't be seeing them walking the halls of CHS anymore. I'll miss them, and I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
Happy Belated Birthday Tanae! I hope you enjoyed Applebee's and the card/triangle I made for you.
I'm going to the mall later.

I won a game-used baseball for answering a Mercedes Benz trivia question! I never thought I'd win anything, that made me really happy.
On another note, in 11 days..I will basically stop using this journal because I will be in school. I'm thinking of making this journal from now on to be strictly a baseball journal because I don't want to let go of it yet.
Find my other journal, or ask me for the url.

I am keeping Nyyfan24 to maintain my community as well. If you want to read my posts, add my new journal..some/all posts are going to be friends only.

It could have been worse. I still feel really guilty though..like I'm a horrible person. I'm okay and she is okay...and that was the first thing I made sure of (in reverse order).
All I can do is apologize again and again and again. I'm sorry. I'm disappointed in myself and I really feel horrible.

You can send Derek Jeter to his 7th All-Star Game. Come on kids, it's quite simple. All you have to do is go to http://www.mlb.com and click the link to "the final vote." Listen to me, Derek Jeter has a batting average above .300 and would most definitely contribute to the AL Roster. Even if you don't care about baseball, I'm asking you to do me a favor. This game decides home field advantage in the World Series. Come on everyone. Help out!
Other than that, all is well. The fourth was great.
See ya.
-Jessica.

Post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad,
just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you.
WHY THE HELL NOT!?

| Recap of Orlando |
[ | |
April 10, 2005] |
|
First, I'd like to preface this entry by saying something I said 12 times in Orlando. I like Tampa a LOT BETTER than Orlando. It's just so much nicer. I mean Orlando is nice but I like Tampa more. Wednesday was the rehearsal dinner. I don't remember it all that well, but it was fun. Wind Ensemble did really bad and Schaar said he was scared. I didn't blame him..I was scared...two years in a row of sub-par performance? Not too cool. Thursday-Go to school. Leave after 4th. It still doesn't feel like we are actually going to Orlando. We get to the airport. I sat with Sam and Brianna on the plane and had a massive headache. We get to the hotel, and drop our stuff off and head to Universal City Walk. My chaperone group was a lot of fun. It consisted of me, Jess Gerow, Su-Yee Lin, Becky Au, Sam Chiofolo, Brianna Falese, Lisa Moore, Sara Grasso, Lauren Finn, and Brian Kelvis. Our chaperone was Mrs. Jorgenbloed (if that's how you spell it). She was nice and they were cool. We ate at NBA City. Cool place. The menu had the texture of a basketball. If I ever become rich I want to make an MLB City just because I can. We meet up with Sevian's group which consisted of Chelsi Blomberg, Marianne Cocco, Vikki Greenfield, Charles Weiselberg (again, spelling?), Lee Vilinsky, Keith Gordon, Steve Harrington, Ryan Johnston, Freddy Calestini, and somebody else (I cannot recall whom, utmost apologies). Obviously, that was entertaining. As we are leaving, we see the late flight arriving at City Walk. They got back around 11, we got back around 9:45. The roomies chat. "What went on stays here." Etc. Cool.
Friday- Islands of Adventure. Had some good rides, but we kept losing people. Chelsi met up with Tim, and you could see how happy they were to see each other. I hung out mostly with Chelsi, Sam, Brianna, John, Jordan, Mark W, Mozard, Mark M, and we were eventually joined by Lisa, Renee, and Sara..but only Renee stayed with us. An entertaining portion of the day was the voucher experience. Everyone gets a voucher simultaneously. We all run to food places that accept them..every place is packed. We find a place in Jurassic Park that has a manageable (SPELLING AGAIN AHHHH)..John, Mark, Mark, Chelsi and I, all wait on this line. It takes them about forty minutes to get to us. We all pick out what we want, but we can't have anything good. There are three items on the entire menu, we can have two. Good? NOT AT ALL. After waiting on this horrible line and ordering our food, the lady gives us popsicles and says "I tried to tell you that you guys got a free popsicle but no one listened." Mark, without hesitation says, "Thanks, it makes up for the horrible service your restaurant has." We all start cracking up, but we don't know if she heard us. We get our food, eat it, and realized what a waste of an hour that was. It was still a fun day though. There was a lot of fighting/anger/drama. I spent most of the time at the hotel watching Lee get his hair straightened then talked to Mark M. I was happy that I wasn't involved in any conflict.
Saturday- Competition. Wake up at 7. Head to the school at 8. Wind Ensemble goes. I thought we did well minus one or two minor mishaps, but I was proud of us. We got Subway. That was good because I didn't eat breakfast. I listened to Jazz Ensemble. I really was amazed. First of all, they are just awesome. They are so much fun to watch, and they are really talented. I loved the Sax dance. It was hilarious. I listened to Women's Choir. They were great. We spent a lot of time at the school, about five kids tried to play the clarinet, and I talked to Renee a lot. She's cool. We all went to Universal Studios. We went on "The Mummy." Everyone was either really scared or amazed, but I myself (and maybe some others) was not or were not impressed. We also went on Men In Black and Shrek 4D. MIB was cool, Shrek a bit mediocre, but hey..whatever. We all went to eat in some "Drive in cafe" and were amazed that the voucher could actually allow us to eat decent food. Went to Mardi Gras parade. That was cool. They threw beads and watching Mark and Mark go after them was just plain hilarious. They are cool kids. Then comes the award ceremony. They start explaining the Sportsmanship Award and I'm zoning because seriously..Centereach? Getting a Sportsmanship Award? It sounds like an idea that would come from some sort of parallel universe. Anyway, the choir awards start. Jazz- First/Excellent. Men's- First/Excellent. Women's- First/ Excellent. Select- First/Excellent. Centerach is going insane. We were so excited. Band awards come. Jazz- 1st/SUPERIOR!! Wind Ensemble- 1st/Excellent. We are in shock. We swept the categories. We got three more awards that were "Overall" bests awards. Exciting. Dan, Tanae, and Joe got recognition for their solos. The last award is announced and WE WON THE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD. Diamond Cutters Galore. Lisa says "Jess don't you feel like crying? THIS IS IT!!</b> I said I didn't. Then all of the sudden I started to cry. Hysterically. Many seniors were. We found consolation from each other and our friends. It just was a wake-up call for me. I was so happy with how we did, but I can't believe that I'll never go to another band competition. We stayed up late. Fun stuff.
Today- I didn't get to see anyone on the late flight, but I hung out with my chaperone group which was cool. Chelsi, Lisa, and I sat together on the plane ride home. I had a massive headache and thought my head was going to explode. My eyes were tearing I couldn't even help it. But that's okay. Because I'm home now, and I had a wonderful trip with some wonderful friends and other wonderful people who I'm really glad I became friends with, or better friends with over these past four days.
