Just An Ordinary Day

Change Of Plans

Although I still love the idea of having a daily snapshot, at this point in time I just don't see it happening. I will still be posting pictures, but can't promise how often.

Daily Snapshot Of My Life

This picture was taken at the Mohammad Ali Mosque in Cairo, in 2006.

Sharing Facebook Excitement With My Mother

"Guess who I'm now friends with on facebook!"

"Who?"

"George!"

"George who?

"GEORGE!"

...blank stare...

"As in, all capital letters with an exclamation point, George."

"Just tell me, please."

"George, as in you read about him on dooce!!"

"You couldn't have just said that?"

My mother was not quite as thrilled by the news as I had been. Oh well.

Daily Snapshot Of My Life

I was looking through some of the pictures on my computer when I came across this one of my house taken last spring. I'm really only posting this particular picture to remind myself that when the snow melts away this is what I will get to see when turning into my driveway (and just to make this clear, I do not drive a Honda Element, that would be my mother's box of a car). Without this picture, I don't think I'd be able to remember what my house looks like without a few feet of snow on the ground. Now, I'm all for winter, and living in Maine I understand that with winter comes snow, but enough is enough. I am ready for the warm weather, but until it arrives I'll just have to look at this picture...

My World

So before I just dive in, I feel like I should stop to introduce myself a bit. I'm Allison. I'm eighteen years old; I'm in the second semester of my freshmen year at The University of Southern Maine. I have a dorm room that i rarely stay in, I guess I just prefer staying at my house. It's bizarre, but I feel like I have more freedom at my house than I ever had in my dorm. I guess I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I want to get out of my college experience...

Now, along with writing my posts I am planning on listing a song of the day, something that I just can't seem to get out of my head or something that fits my mood for the day. It might be something from your past that brings up an old memory or it might be a song you've never heard of that intrigues you. I'm also going to post a daily snapshot into my life; that snapshot might be of a person in my life, a place I've been, or it could be something completely random that I want to share.

I'm new to this and making up my own rules as I go. So bear with me... and welcome to my world.

This is it...
