My name is Laurena Steeles. Need a pronunciation? Lauren with an 'a' stuck to the end. And steel with an 's' at the end like its own word. Pretty simple if you don't over (or under) think it. So, back to the point: why am I writing this? Actually, the answer is pretty simple. Two of my really good friends are doing an assignment for a class (I think it might be a joint class project but I'm not totally sure. Oops). Georgia and Damon are basically collecting stories. They asked a few other people to do it too, most of them said yes. Damon and Georgia are just so hard to say no to.

Plus, the job is so simple, you are assigned a day (mine being Friday, in case you were wondering) and just record everything that happens. Obviously I just started. Take that literally. It's 4:45am. I'm writing one handed and trying to tie my shoes in the process. My hair's up in a sloppy (but hopefully secure) braided ponytail. I'm going for a jog with my two other best friends. I meet up with Nathan at the end of my street, then we meet Dustin at our church. That's about a mile. Then we'll all jog the 4 miles to Pour (best coffeeshop ever) and have hot cocoa. Well, I'll have hot cocoa, they usually get coffee or something really random. Me? I'm original in other ways. I'll stick to my hot chocolate.

I'll continue writing when I get there, but it's 4:50 and Nate will leave without me if I don't book it. (We're supposed to meet Dustin at 5:00) write ya then!
