Sheena's Smile

So I watched Win A Date with Tad Hamilton last night. Sheena and I were commenting on the part about how many smiles the person has. I told Sheena she had several as well. She asked me how many, and although I couldn't answer immediately this is what I came up with.


YOUR SMILE

Your smile is infectious
Just like your laugh it spreads.
It's illuminating beauty graces the wearer.
But you don't have just one.
There's more than that to be noticed.

There's that one you have when you are around your friends.
A smile so big, no one else can compete, but you wear it well.
There's one when you are tired.
Still an undeniable sense of joy but mixed with lack of energy.
Another when you are surprised.
It's not a perfect smile, but definitely just as beautiful.
There's one that comes when you get excited.
Your smile as well as your eyes brighten with this one.
One when you look just plain gorgeous
And I wonder if you realize it, this smile seems so natural.
One I've noticed comes about when you laugh.
Your eyes almost shut with this smile portraying the joy you have in life.
One when you're trying to be cool.
It fits you so well, your lips purse together, but the ends turn upwards.
You have one there's no doubt your up to something.
It's a hard to describe but it's unmistakable.

And so, my roomie,
These are the smiles-the smiles that you spread all over a room
I've counted eight,
But then again I've only known you three months.
What else is hiding behind your smile?

A hard night

I'm not going to say much tonight. I've once again landed on the emotional rollercoaster. It's been a really hard night or early morning I guess. The past hour or so I have felt like shutting myself away. I wish i could numb myself right now from the hurt. I'm so glad Sheena was here tonight. She really encouraged me. I love that girl. Ruthanne also was there for me. But I'm off to bed. New Testament test tomorrow, english class, then I'm headed to Maypearl Tx. Maybe that will help with some of this chaos.

I'm Here

I made it to Dallas and l am trying to settle in and get into the routine of my new life. It is very different and I can definitely tell where it will have its challenges...but so far I am loving it for the most part. I just got back from an international mixer. It was very fun! The international students are very funny and seem to be really excited about just meeting new people. As far as meeting new people goes, I am meeting some new people, but have not yet really found any friends. It will come. I have only been here for 36 or so hours. I love my dorm room even though it is still messy and packed up. My roommate's name is Sheena. She's pretty awesome...we get along really well and we do a lot together so I guess that will all work out well. I am loving being back in Texas...except for the heat. It is so HOT today. The campus here is beautiful. I saw my friend Megan today. She lives in San Antonio but was up here to visit her grandmother. I had so much fun with her. I am trying to convince her to come here, but I don't think it's going to work...We are so crazy together it could be dangerous! So yeah classes start Monday....a whole 16 hours worth. WOOT! Life is starting to get very interesting...Pictures very soon!
