SHOCK

so its been like a month and a half since i've posted anything on here...so I know you are all shocked that this is going up. I'm not going to recap all of school, you guys know what happened, and if you dont whatev. I'm basically writing this becuase i need to get something off my chest.

I hate absolutly hate when you are unsure about situations, especially when you don't know how people are feeling. I really want to be sure about a paticular situation, that at the moment I have no control over, becuase the person it invloves is across the atlantic ocean. Talking to someone online for 6 months is the worst form of communication ever. Dont get me wrong I am happy I at least get to talk to him, but it's been so long. The worst part of it is, I dont know how he is feeling, becuase get this you cant see facial expression or tone of voice over the internet...shocking i know. So I am taking to interpret other things, which as a girl I have to do because it's what we all do. And the way I am interpreting this is, maybe he cares for me as much as I care for him, but I can't be sure, I can only hope. I guess we will see when he comes home, but he'll come home and if I get accepted to the Ireland program, I'll be leaving 2 months after that. So this is just a crappy situation all together. I wish I could just let it go, and look to someone else, but I can't, something keeps pulling me back. This sounds so middle school but everytime I see him online and we talk, it makes me so happy, how dorky does that sound...but it's our only form of communication, so I go with what I got.

Still in a weird mood that I have been in for days now, I just wanna figure this out....


P.S i love the masque and scavenger hunts

Phila-lovely

I love philadelphia. Well it has always been my favorite city, I mean why would I go to school there if it wasn't. But this weekend was my yearbook confrence and I stayed smack dab in old city. Like Bank St. which is an alley right off market. It was beautiful, and all the great shops and restaurents right around were awesome. And you could see the entire sky line from the roof because it was right by 2nd st. So incredibly beautiful.

Anyways, Friday I left home about 1ish and drove the 3 1/2 hour drive to philly, which took 4 hours because of damn delware, I seriously hate that state. Ever single time I go through it takes forever::shakes fist::. Anyways, after entering the city I drove through main philly for the first time ever, very scary and tried to find a parking spot. Now I havent paralle parked in ages, since my driving test, almost 3 years ago. So I was looking for a gigantic spot, which I eventually found, but then learned after meeting up with my uncle that it was illegal, I didn't know the arrows on the parking signs actually ment things, but they do, so we moved my car and then he took me to his girlfriends apartment that I stayed at. Let me just say when I live in the city, I want this apartment, so pretty, so classy, so like "I'm 20ish, I have a cool job and I live in Philly". I want that. Once I was settled, I got prettified and meet my uncle Chris for dinner, which was amazingly amazing. We had italian and then walked around old city, and independence hall area, and then headed back to my apartment for some good old fashioned talking. Basically i love him, and i am happy he is in my masque family tree.

So, Saturday was the beginning of the confrence. A yearbook confrence. I was in absolute heaven, like seriously i love yearbook and I will bring the one at Lasalle back to better standards, and have people actually buy the book and pay attention to it. I have one year to turn this book around or the administration is threatening to get rid of it. So if you can help at all, pictures, stories, design, anything, please let me know, right now its me and dawn for the whole book, so help me please! Anyways after the confrence me and a friend I meet there, Sam, went around the city and took cool pictures because we are artsy folk, and we just had a photography class that day. So much fun. We then went to the greyhound station to pick up Cyndi, a friend from home who was coming to stay the weekend. Follwing this was more touristy stuff, like seeing boathouse row, the art museum, logan circle, all at night of course, so incredibly beautiful.

Sunday brought more yearbook, and more of the liz's tour of philadelphia, considering it was Sam and Cyndi's first time in philly. I took them to south street, and then to Pat's to get an amazing cheese steak, which I have to say I taught them well, becuase they both ordered properly and enjoyed their cheese steakes emmensly. Afterwards, I showed them the workings of Septa, and how to buy tokens. Followed by fun with cameras, alcohol, and mirrors back in Sam's hotel room.

Monday brought the end of the confrence and my goodbye to Sam. Which was really really sad, becuase we got pretty close for just meeting on saturday. She is an amazing person that I will definatly keep in touch with and visit, I mean we were ment to be friends, we have the same birthday! Aftewards me and Cyndi went to reading terminal market for an italian hoagie, followed by some shopping and then home.

So basically this weekend was amazing, and I cannot wait until saturday when I am back for good. I can't wait to see the city again and all my lasalle lovelies (golden girls..eeekk). But now i am off to pack, order books, and so on....

<3's

i realized what i don't like.

I do not like hard core screamy rock. I do not like smoking. I do not like friends who ditch friends for boys. I do not like rock concerts. I do not like being around sweaty people i do not know. In comparison, I do still like rock. I do like clean air. I do like friends who are still my friend even when they have a boy. I do like accustic sets. I do like being with my friends. All of this I realized at warped tour. Which all in all was a good time, the middle of the day headache I definatly could have lived without. But you can see what else i did not enjoy by the above. I dont wanna go into details, but whatev. I just have a few questions that maybe ya'll can answer.

• Why do people smoke? Especially when they know it will kill you.
• Why do people dress rediculously? Like I understand individuality to a certain extent but seriously some people dress like they are going to the circus.
• Why do people like screamy music? You can't understand the words, someone is just yelling at you constantly.
• Why do people have to be rude? I got some of the meaniest looks today, like all the bands were preaching be nice to each other, and all people can do is act crappy to one another.

I guess thats all for now, I am in an interesting mood. Hopefully packing will make me more excited for tomorrow and my weekend getaway to philly.

<3's

Days are numbered.....

Since my job has ended, its time for super fun before it's time to go to school. Tomorrow is warped tour! OMG going to be sooo much fun, I can't wait. Me and my girls are driving to Virginia, to see 40 zillion bands and just have an awesome day. And today me and kay went to the store to get cool shirts to wear. And well I was a bit extravgent and bought 6 shirts and 1 skirt, but they were priced well and I need them, I really really do! Anyways after warped tour on thursday, friday morning I am getting a new cell phone. And considering mine isnt recieving or sending text messages, the battery life is horrible, and I never get service, I feel its time for a new one. So yeaaaa!
After the new cell phone I am driving to Philly for my yearbook conference!! Wahoooo! I really can't wait. Im a yearbook nerd, If ya'll didn't know, so I have already thought up theme ideas and cover ideas....so no worries the yearbook will be smokin! Neways on friday I am gonna meet my uncle so I can get key's to his girlfriends old apartment, thats right an apartment all to my self...yea! On friday night, Chirs is gonna come down to center city and we are gonna go out to dinner...some quality uncle-neicy time :). Then saturday my conference actually starts. Sat night Cyndi is catching the bus up to see me and gonna stay till Monday with me, so I can show her around the city. Saturday night includes going to my uncles bar/restaurant for some dinner. Sunday and Monday include more yearbook conference and showing cyndi around. Monday night we drive home back to MD.
Then all next week is packing and saying goodbye time...and then saturday...LASALLE!! So fun filled times ahead. I cant actually believe its time to go back...I cant wait!

Link Names

So I decided to join the crowd and give names for my links. The names are characters from musicals. Question on who you are? I'll explain, maybe change em if you can think of a better one.

In other news I discovered a freckle on my botton lip....and 12 days!!!!

love it

Prehaps my favorite photo ever.....what a biology book should be used for.

Guys and Dolls

So this past weekend I went and saw a production of Guys and Dolls put on by my local parks and recs association. And it was wonderful, all of the actors and actresses were really really good, all except for the one playing sarah brown, who didnt have the strongest voice, but everyone else was excellent. Like the actor playing Sky Masterson and the actress playing Adelade were exquiste, i mean they did their characters to the t, there performances were almost as good as the ones in the movie. I really enjoyed the whole show, the scene changes were a little long, but it was parks and recs production so I wasn't expecting Broadway perfection. It made me realize how much I miss live performance, and how excited I am for the Masque to start again and to see Wicked on Broadway.

In other news......16 Days!!!

And Counting....

An official countdown as begun to my move in day at LaSalle. 20 days people....20 days! It seems like yesterday when I was moving out. But it was 3 months ago, and it's time to go back. I have loved this summer so much, and in many ways it is bittersweet for school to be beginning. I have felt this summer was probably one of the best I have ever had. Though there was never anything to do, I spent so much time with my best friends that it didn't matter. And I am very hapy that this summer was able to happen, because well I don't know if I will be back in good old SMC next summer. I really think I'll be in Philly next summer, or wherever I get an internship. It makes me excited to think that I have the chance to live on my own, but I am worried that my connections to home will just become distanced and streched to thin. That's why this summer needed to happen. That way I could become so close with these friends that it would be a matter of life and death to stay in touch with them. Other than them though, I am ready to leave SMC behind. It has served has my home, but in many ways it really never was. I am not orginaly from here. My family all lives in the Philadelphia area. My Parents are moving away from here after my sister graduates. My friends don't plan on living here after graduation. My goodbye to St. Mary's County is becoming imminet. This summer may be my last time to call this place "home". But that's a-ok with me. I'm excited to live in the city. I'm excited for this school year, and making the bonds with my LaSalle kids all the tighter. So Aug 19. Thats the day. It makes me smile. I got my moving in early email the other day. It makes me happy.

happy week

So I thought I would update this just for the sake of updating, because I will be gone all weekend, and I know how terribly upset ya'll will be if you don't know about my life. Anyways...this week has been fun; hanging with friends, work, and I saw pirates yesterday. Ok let me just say amazing. The story was really good, and a lot of people said they were waiting for it to end and it was too long, but I did not even realize three hours had gone by. Now I do admit there were some cheezy points, like the whole wheel-fighting scene was asethetically cool, but I think they could have cut some of it. And I think Orlando Bloom's acting at the end was a little forced and fake, but who can critcize some one that beautiful? I'll let it slide this time. But all in all I thought it was very good, and I am very excited for the next movie to come out in May. So basically with seeing Pirates and other cool things, it's been a happy week.

Things that make me happy this week:

• Pirates
• New Polka Dot Dress
• My cousin's wedding on Saturday
• Listening to Matt Duke
• Cute little kids at Camp
• New Shoes
• Pay Day is today!!!!

Adios....

There never was a place were I could be totally happy

WARNING: This will be long.

So this past weekend, I went to jersey and saw everyone! All the kids I have not seen since leaving school, and it made me "super" excited to see them. First on friday night pam had a pool party at her house, and almost everyone was there. K-Laz, My lover, George, Alyssa, Dino and of course Pam was there when I got there. Then Amanda came, and then a big group of folks, Chris, Jo Anna, Dave, Greg, and Scott H. OMG it was so good to see them. It felt like 2 months hasnt elapsed, like we left LaSalle last weekend. I find it absolutly startling how easy it was to pick back up because all of us didnt really get close until like a month, 2 months before school ended. It just makes me happy to know that I've really found true good friends at LaSalle, that we have kept in such good touch over the summer, and that when we go back to school it will be just like when we left. Anyways, on Friday we played death basketball, "poor george is drowning in the deep end" and ultimate chicken fight, "It's just a chicken fight". Afterwards we chatted about some interesting things, played cranium (which we should have won)and took K-Laz on her first WaWa trip ever. Amazing. Then we did the classic girls night, we talked and slept on Pam's Gram's living room floor. We then proceeded to sleep till like 1, i think. We then chatted about grey's and harry potter over bagels. The rest of the day we spent in excellent fashion, watching the tour and CODE BLACK (best episode of grey's) =). And then we saw Matt Duke....lets just say amazing. Dreamy good singer, simply, "If he sang it, i would do it." We then watched RENT, which I had never seen but had listened to the music constantly, personally I thought it was amazing! Then on Sunday, it was the Golden Girls fashion show at Church, we worked it. And then some tour and donuts, and it was time to leave. So sad....I can't wait to see those girls.

After leaving on sunday, I made a suprise visit to my grandparents, who live about a half an hour from pam. When I arrived, my pop-pop, aunt and a few cousins were there. They were shocked. As was my grandmom, other aunt, and other cousins when they arrived at the house. Now you might think that was alot of people but it really wasn't, that was prob less than half of my family. But it was nice to hang out with them becuase I havent seen them in a while. We worked on my dad's scrapbook which my grandmom and aunts are making for my dad's 50 bday, so that was fun, the yearbook side of me was oozing out=). I then had to leave because well i still had a 3 + hour drive home. And thanks to damn Deleware it took almost 4 hours. All in all it was an amazing weekend, got to see everyone but of course I missed my Usuals.

See this is the issue, when I go away for weekends my friends are all still home, without me. Now i know they miss me, they make this evident by the drunken phone calls, which I love...but I still miss them. Like last night we went to laura's house, just 5 of us and had a dance party...so much fun. I love that this summer we have become so close and it makes me smile. So the big deliema is what happens when we go to school? Now we will stay close, and leaving will make me cry, but once at school I will be without out them, kinda like now when I am at home without my La Salle kids. This balancing act is hard, and I don't like or appreciate it, I wish I could just be in one place with all the people I love. It's just not fair. Now I know this sounds whiny but I wanna and this is my blog....so deal. How has everyone else dealt with this? How do you keep your friends from home close when you are at school? I know I did it last year, but it just seems this year is gonna be so much harder. Anyways I guess what I am trying to say is that this whole going back to school is gonna be bittersweet.

In other news, I only have 2 more weeks of camp:( I'm gonna miss my little kiddes so much. But this summer is kinda giving me an idea of what I want to do in a career, well not really definate but an idea, im thinking maybe a pediatrican. Becuase I love working with these little kids, and Biology is like my greatest love. Like when the little kids get hurt, I always want to be the one in there giving them an ice pack and trying to make them feel better. So that's an idea. But if I do that my second love is left out, yearbook. Which by the way, i can't wait to start....yearbook confrence in 3 weeks:-D!! So with that I was thinking biomedical publishing. I dont know, I dont even know why I am writing about this becuase frankly, it's summer I should just be chilling out, but I guess I am a "thinking in the future" kinda girl. But I think that should be all for now, adios....

Camp kiddies

Some of the Camp Kids...did I mention I love my job?

In all Directions

So last night I was all set to write about living life to the fullest and I was in a super good mood, I mean I was happier than more normal self, when one of my best guy friend's from lasalle gave me the worst news, he and one of my other good friends is not coming back next semester. Talking about mood kill. Like seriously I wanted to cry. I was so mad/sad/frustrated/confused/hurt probably some more feelings, I didn't even know what to say. The whole time I was thinking how could they do this to me? Like it's not fair. I was really counting on them both being there, the one in paticular becuase he knows everything about me and this summer has been hard enough with the drifting but now that he won't be there I was so upset.

And I still am upset, like really really upset, like I think about it and want to cry, but I realized they didn't do this to me. I mean this has to be so hard for them, they have to go back to living at home while everyone else gets to come back to school and be on there own. I really feel bad for them. But I guess both parties will survive and we will be back together in the spring. It's just delaying everything for a few more months. And they say they will visit, it just better happen or I will be very sad.

In other news, I got a new straightener!!!! Now to many of you this may not be very exciting, but all the girls who have a hair like mine, that hates you, realize how big of a deal this is. First of all it's a Revlon Professional Ceramic Straightner v2.0. And let me tell you it is absolutly amazing. It takes 10 mins to straighten my hair now instead of the usual 30 mins, plus touch ups all day. Seriously if you could marry inatimate objects I would sooooo marry this one.

In addition, I will continue to rave about my job. Seriously it is still amazing. I love my little campers and all the cool stuff we get to do. Today we went to the Japanese Steak House on a field trip. The kids really liked it, I mean fire, spinning eggs and really good food, whats not to love? Another plus about the job it is so laid back. I asked to switch hours on friday so I could go up to jersey, they were like no problem, works for us.

Speaking of jersey, I cannot freakin wait till friday! I am seriously counting it down till I get to see everyone ( 2 Days, 18 hours). I miss everyone so much, I will be jumping up and down by the time I see everyone. Anyways, I think that is all for now, adios....

"I never thought you would be the one to teach me a drinking game..."

So this weekend, me and my friends have completly shattered the image we had in high school. Ever since middle school, me and my friends were dubbed "the smart girls". This title was not without its accuaracy, we were in all AP classes, we had good grades, we were in NHS, and we were president/editor/captain of this, that, and the other. However, becuase we had this title, people thought we were snobby and boring. Because of this title, not many people in high school took the opportunity to get to know us. Now don't get me wrong, high school for me was amazing, I learned alot about myself, made friends that will last forever, and I have lots and lots of memories, but becuase we had this title I didn't really socialize around.
So anyways, now that you have the background, back to the story. So this weekend, we did things we never ever ever thought we would do.......we partied with county folk. Now for most of them this was HUGE shock. On friday night we were at my friend Laura's (her rents were out of town) and we had a party. People from our high school were there...and let me say when they saw me and my friends a little intoxicated they were dumbfounded. They just couldn't believe, "Hey wait a sec, these girls are normal just like us".....wow....big suprise....maybe you should have given us a chance in high school. And last night we went to some other kids house that we were kinda acquainted with and some of the people we were with the night before were there and some other kids. More shock and awe. Hence the quote above, one kid couldn't get over the fact that I knew and was teaching "them" how to play drinking games.
But I'm not bitter....no not me. It's just so high school to still be judging people on what kind of "image" they present. So what I get good grades, but don't count me out when it comes to going out and having a good time....you can't stereotype me like that.
Now I'm done venting...on to other things. If you read Pam's blog you may have learned that the Tour de France as started, and me like her, is completly obsessed. I'm so excited. Just moving over from one sporting event to the next, the World Cup is ending (By the way I called Portugal in the beginning and look who is in the semis:-D) and now the tour has started and I have something to watch in the mornings before work....thank god I work late and get to watch it every morning. Yeaaaaa! In other news, Masque folk you better be coming to Pam's pool party because I will be there and I want to see all of you! It's been way way way to long! But I think that's all for now, adios....

Forever Young

So if you don't know I'm working at a day camp for my summer job. And let me tell you I feel like a little kid again. Even though I am a counselor and technically I am there to make sure the kids dont die or kill each other I basically get to play all day. I'm getting paid to go to day camp. Here's my schedule: I wake up at 10ish and go pick up Kay around 10:30 and drive to work, which I dont have to be at till 11:15. Then as soon as we get there it's lunch time, so I grab my lunch go sit down with the kids and eat. This is then followed by dodgeball, or arts&crafts, or a field trip. Field trips are awesome, so far we have gone to the pool and to the movies. Future field trips are to a water park, a mystic's game, a Japanese restaurant, ice skating, and other super cool stuff. Like seriously it's the most amazing job....EVER! And almost all the little kids are sooooo nice and cute....and they basically love you because, omg I can drive and I go to college, they think it's the coolest thing ever. Also arts and crafts, which is like my favorite thing ever...Seriously I was the little girl scout who made pot holders and bead necklaces and painted etc. etc. , we do constantly. I brought my mom home a pot holder and some scratch art. I really feel like a little kid...and I love it...this job doesn't make me feel like a grownup. Which is good because I'd like to hold onto my childhood as long as possible. Because growing up kinda scares me, like I have friends who are 20....how weird is that? I still feel like I'm 16. But I guess it's inevitable, at least for this summer I can live like a kid.

In other news, I just found out I get to move back to LaSalle a week early! I'm stoked! Just thought I'd fill ya'll in. But thats all for now, adios...

Apparently im an oddball....

So I know it's been a long time but i've been busy, I started work this past week and running everyday. But anyways the other day someone called me an oddball and for some reason this didnt upset me. I think I have come to accept my "oddballness". For example today I re-taped my remote (See pic). Now I know this is weird, people have told me this, but seriously who has a colored remote? I do...now it's orange. The first time I did it, the color was red. For school it was blue, and now i've switched to orange. I felt a switch was needed because the blue blended in to my comforter, so now the orange i'll be able to see. Ya'll know you're jealous.
My next oddballness, i've found that arts and crafts are the best cure to a hangover. Seriously I am not even kidding. Yesterday morning i had to go to work with one of the worst hangover's ever...and we did arts and crafts all day...poof hangover gone! So try it....
Anyways speaking of my job...i love it! I've been going to camps since I was like in first grade, in about 7th grade I became an aide, volunteer of course. And now this summer I'm getting paid to do what i've been doing for free for the bast 10 years! I get to do arts and crafts and play sports all day, go on field trips, and hang out......and I get paid for it!!! Best job ever!
I'm trying to think of other exicting things that have happend, or will happen. Im going to a baseball game today with my girls, O's vs. Nats so it should be fun, though I think it might storm. But storms are cool, its been storming alot here, and I love thunderstorms..there awesome. Now I have to go because shower and such before I have to leave....adios

These are the days....

So im really starting to realize how lucky I am to have the friends I have. Not only the amazing lasalle kids but my friends from home. For a long time, a very long time, I was very insecure over whether my friends were my friends or I just kept getting invited to thing because I was just there and was a usual person. But the closer we get I realize how amazing it is to have them, and that I really am accepted by them. Now I have to say there were definatly times in high school were I dont think they considered me to be as close as I thought or hoped we were, but now we really are. I can't go one day without talking to one of them, or all of them. I see them almost everyday I really can't imagine life without them. Like tonight we planned every weekend for the rest of the summer....dont make fun we live in a boring place and it takes lots of time to find things to do. So basically I realized how much I love them.
All in all it makes me realize how much I love all of my friends. And I miss my LaSalle kids so much, one weekend of seeing just a few of them was so nice...but it gets me itching to see everyone else. And since I only have weekend's off I dont know how many times I am gonna get up to see you kids. And speaking of LaSalle, I can't wait to come back, not only to see everyone, which is the main reason, but just to be back...to be on my own again. I hate living with parents after having so much freedom and I hate not having all my friends right down the hall. I just wanna be back. I know this is whiny but I know I'm not the only one, school is just so much better than living at home. But then again I don't wanna rush this, the more I wish for time to pass the more I am going to regret it after I am an old fogey. So a new resolution is to not wish for time to pass, not to wish days away just because I am busy, to enjoy it all because in 3 short years this will all be over....but that's all for now, adios

Long Time Gone....

So I know its been like 2 weeks since I written one of these....but I have been off on my adventures around the country....so bear with me this will be long. Colorado, i've already written about this trip, but just a quick recap...it was amazing! Air Force Academy is really cool, set in the mountains of Colordao, really really beautiful. And I got to see my family which is always fun, and I also realized how flipping out of shape I am. I mean walking up those hills and up in the altitude like killed me, so tomorrow the working out starts, my goal to be in shape for school. But im getting side tracked, anyways, i flew back into Philly on friday the 1st, and stayed at my grents that night, followed by driving 3 hours home the next day. Once back home, I did laundry, showered, went on an alcohol run, and drove to my friend kay's house where i spent that night before waking up at 5 to drive to the beach with my best friends. And the whole week was absolutley amzing minus some of the drama, but i had fun and the girls who were causing the drama im not even friends with and they ended up leaving. But anyways the whole week consisted of tanning, playing in the ocean, and drinking. My liver actually is begging me to take a break from the alcohol. But anyways the week was amazing, and my bonds with my girls are even stronger than when we left for school. So with that week ending, we woke up at 5 and drove home. I then proceded to nap for an hour pack a bag and then make the 3 hour drive to jersey. Upon arriving I was supposed to go visit Pam, however i was locked out of my grents house, so I had to sit and wait for them to come back, and miss my reunion with pam:(. The next day was my cousin's bridal shower! It was so much fun, she is the first cousin of my generation to get married so it was very exciting, I have a feeling after this there going to get boring becasue well there are about 13 girls maybe more in line to get married, so there are alot of bridal/baby showers in my future. Anyways, that night I drove to north philly (my first time EVER driving in a city) to visit Krissi and Amanda, my roomies for next year! It was so nice to see them because well we're close and it's been way to long. Then the next day I drove to Willamstown, NJ to visit my cousin and aunt, and then drove to Pitman, NJ to visit my other cousins and have dinner with them. Me and my cousin drove to dippy's to visit Sara!! She made me a very good cheesburger:-D Then yesterday was my cousins 22nd bday so I went to dinner at her house, and we were all planning on going out after, but since I am only 18 I couldn't go because when we were planning on leaving was when you have to be over 21 to get in. So I went to the grents and watched old time movies with them. It was nice but i def would have prefered the bar. And then today my journey came to a close, I drove the 3 hour drive home.

So quick recap since May 28 I have been in Maryland, Delware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado, Virgina and North Carolina. And now tonight I get to sleep in my bed for the first time in like 2 weeks. I'm excited but sad becasue the last of my planned trips are over. The only left is my cousins wedding, but thats not till the end of july. So I am thinking lots of road trips, I will be in Philly alot. I didnt realize how much I really really miss it. Just driving up on it when i was going there the other day almost made me tear up, I miss seeing those sky scrapers every day, and being so close to everything and everyone. And getting to see some of the lasalle kids was awesome....it's gonna be hard with all this time in between seeing everyone. And in addition to not being in Philly with my lasalle kids, I start work Monday. Now this summer has been realtively fun because I have not started working, but once monday hits, I see my enjoyment going way way way way way down. But I will survive. Now I think I will leave becuase well since I havent been home in like 2 1/2 weeks I have alot of laundry, alot....so thats all for now, adios....

Loving the boys in blue....

If I didn't love LaSalle and absolutly hated the idea of entering the military I would so go to the air force academy. Seriously I have never seen so many really really attractive men in one place, and they were in uniform...amazing! But over and atop of the cute guys, the whole trip has been really really cool. First colorado is so pretty and this whole graduation thing at the academy is really neat. On Tuesday we attended the parade, where all of the cadets march out in their dress blues and then the graduating seniors walk out away from their squadrons and are officially no longer students. Last night was the commisiony ceremony, where my cousin got her bars and became a 2nd leutient in the air force, it was really exciting becuase my grandparents got to put her bars on. Then today was the actual graduation ceremony. Where 879 cadets officaially graduated from the academy, secretary rumesfield spoke, and there was a thunderbird air show, seriously so cool. And it was really awesome to see my cousin graduate, because no matter what people say about the air force and them being pansies, it really is hard work to graduate from this academy. It was just exciting to see the happiness on all of these people's faces, and their families who have worked so hard to do this. I really can't imagine going to the academy or any other one, no matter how hot the guys are....though it would definatly be an interesting experience. But that's all for now, adios...

So call me a liar...

Yes, I said I wouldn't update for like 2 weeks, but since my dad is super cool I'm sitting the "Admirals Club" at Dallas Fortworth on the comp burning time between my layover....so call me a liar. This admirals club that I speak of is for people who travel a lot (i.e. my dad) so they have somewhere they can go do work, get drinks, sleep, read the newspaper between flights, that isn't in the regular terminals of the airport...basically this place looks like a 5-star hotel, it's pretty damn cool. Another super cool thing about this trip, my dad suprized me with first class tickets!!! How awesome is that? I personally have never flown first class and let me just say I really wanna be rich when I grow up just so I never have to fly in coach again. Seriously our cups were actually glasses, no plastic. We got served meals, either omelets or pancakes, on china with fruit and real napkins...can you imagine cloth napkins on an air plane. It's amazing, and the seats are super comfortable. But I will quite going on about my awesome flight, but hey I imagine this will be the only time in the near future that I will ever be on a first class flight so I am going to enjoy it!
Anyways, all those who said they want visits, the first of june I will be making my rounds of south jersey so...I will hopefully see some of you then! But for now, I need to go catch a flight, adios....

P.S. I'll be back to this super cool place on thursday so expect another exciting entry:-D

Goodbye.......for a little

So tomorrow I leave for jersey to visit my grandparents...and then on monday I fly to Colorado. Which at the moment I have mixed feelings about. It should be fun becuase I get to attend the Air Force Academy graduation, because my cousin is graduating, hence the trip and I get to see my other cousin who is one of my best friends. But then there is spending a whole week with my dad...yeaaa. But we'll see how it goes. And then I fly back to jersey on thursday, and I get to visit Sara at her work....yay!! And anyone else who lives in south jersey...I will be there for a whole night, if you live close to Westville...West Detford area, let me know I will swing by and see you! Moving on. The next day I drive back home, spend the night at Michaela's and the next day me and my girls drive down for a fun filled week at the beach!!! And the day I come back from that I drive back to South jersey for my cousin's bridal shower! So again if you live in south jersey or even the philadelphia area...let me know...i will visit! So these next few weeks are going to be very busy, if I dont update for like 3 weeks dont be alarmed...I have not died. Actually maybe I have, I don't know what the future holds, so if you're worried call...I love phone calls...especially when I am bored in airports(hint hint)
On a different note tonight should be fun, going out with my girls...hopefully it will be fun, but with us it always is, so no worries. But that's all for now, I will hopefully talk to you all in a few weeks! adios...

P.S. Cow Status: My dad saw the cow, so I am not crazy...and now we think it is in the woods because we hear alot of mooing...I'll keep you updated...and I know you are all "too excited to sleep" waiting for the next update

Alcohol, communication, and some other intersting things....

Last night was kati's brithday, and what a fun night it was. Other than one of the girls who was there. Who frankly I dont really like, and no one really does, so I really dont know why she was invited. And the worst part is all of the girls there are the ones I am going to the beach with on vacation, except her. So we couldnt say anything about the beach, which I might add is really hard when intoxicated. But she decided to drink way to much and pass out...so it was actually more fun afterwards. Which sounds mean...and I in no way condoning allowing people to drink so much they pass out. Anyways.....so I decided.....Im drunk why not send text messages, so if you got one last night feel special...you're a lucky bunch of folks.
So this got me to thinking, people who drink all eventually want to contact someone and tell them something, no matter who you are. So today we have cell phones, text messaging, and my personal favorite, aim. But what did the college kids do back in like the 80's or even like the early 90's? Did they miss out on this amazing concept of drunk dialing/texting/IMing and the next morning action of apoligizing for whatever you said the night before? How did so many couples get together if they never drunk called and said, you know what I really like you, and when I'm sober I'm to scared to say it? I find it very strange, very strange indeed. Maybe we should give all of these people a couple shots and a cell phone and see what happens. Maybe they'll call...maybe they won't. It would be an interesting experiment. And on a completly different but kind of similar note, since they didnt have cell phones or aim how did they ever make plans or keep themselves enteratined? Seriously everyone remembers when the internet went out at lasalle and we were so bored. And everyone knows the feeling of driving through an area and you no longer have a signal for your cell phone, you feel completly and ultimatly cut off. How did you meet someone for dinner? Or ask someone to walk with you over to the quad? We have become so dependent on these pseudo forms of communication that we no longer actually talk to people. I suggest when we get back to school, for one day we all should use no cell phone, turn off our aim, and see how we would get along without it. Actually having to go to people's rooms and ask them to walk somewhere with us. It could be another intersting experiment.
I must be missing school and all those science classes if in one blog entry I have used the word and decided to complete two experiments. I guess you can take the girl out of the lab but not the lab out of the girl. But I have rambled and contemplated to long so that's all for now, adios....

Watch out for the cows

So last night I went to my friends house for a bon fire, and I saw a cow on the front lawn of one of the houses. Now I admit I live in a very hickish place, but my actual house is in a development, that looks quite suburbish, so I was a little startled. And then on my way home tonight....I saw the cow again, this time across the street at much closer to the road. Now this has happened before but it was a herd of cows on my front lawn that got loose from the amish farm, and the cops came right away and took care of it. That's right our cops are kinda like cowboys, he had a hat and a lasso. Anyways....so this cow is now just chilling in my development, and its black so you cant see it when you drive and seeing how we don't have streetlights it is really dangerous. So the moral of this story....watch out for the cows.

But anyways, today was incredibly dull. I was supposed to start work today at the medical center, but when I told them that I needed the next two weeks off they were like o well you can't start then, so here I am once again not working and without a job. I then perceded to come home and sleep till 2....so today was productive...right?

working nine to five....what a way to make a living

so all of my hard work paid off. all that complaing and work i did to find a job worked, and now i have 2 and i get to choose! how amazing is that? i just have to weigh the pro's and con's of each and decide what i want to do. The first job is a summer camp, 7 weeks long, 8 bucks an hour, monday through friday no nights no weekends. The second is filling medical records, i can work all summer, 7 bucks an hour, monday through friday no nights no weekends. So which to choose, i'll probably make equal amounts at both, however i can start making money tomorrow for the medical job, and that's in my field, well kinda....im a bio major, so a medical job, though it is just filing will look much better than a day camp. But the day camp, is only 7 weeks, so i'll have 3 weeks before school starts to hang out with friends, take road trips, and just chill before school starts, plus its outside so i'd be running around getting in shape and getting tan. But then again the medical job is inside in the a/c which is good, because it gets rediculously hot here. So will see, i report to the filing job tomorrow at 8:30, i have to tell them that i need the next two weeks off for vacation and if they cant do that, at least i'll make like 50 bucks tomorrow and i have still have another job if they dont like me taking time off, so will see, i'll keep you posted, i know you are all waiting with baited breath....at least i have options. But that's all for now, adios

a smaller town then mine...

So I have found a place, smaller and more boring than SMC....Poquoson. This little town in VA, where the boys are nuts and the girls cause drama. Their all alcoholics and their country kids to the extreme. The boys do dip, and if you don't know what or have ever seen dip, its chewing tobacco, that they stick in their lip, and then spit into a cup, basically the most disgusting thing that I have ever seen. The girls, omg, me and kay were sitting in a car with a girl's bf and someother kids and she threw a freakin fit. Seriously a fit, they got into a huge fight and both of them started crying, like seriously their nuts. So thats it, me and kay we cause drama....yea thats us. They drink every weekend, drive drunk, smoke up....wow its just strange to see the small town life, because I thought SMC was small. But it was still fun, other than the car breaking on the day we were set to leave and guess what it wouldnt start, fun fun fun. So my dad had to drive 3 hours to get me, hitch the car, and then drive 3 hours home. So the second road trip of the summer was a success, minus the whole car thing.
Home life is good at the moment, still missing philly like it's my job but my girls sure know how to have fun. Since all going to school we have all had these amazing experiences and grown so much, but when we get back together it's just like high school, sometimes just like middle school, but of course now alcohol has been added. Which makes us crazier than ever. Which is probably a bad thing, becuase we are crazy enough when sober. But o well....like this weekend, omg party at lauren's...gonna be a blast...and I am sooo excited. And then the next day I leave for colorado for a week...then come home and its time for senior week take 2, or freshman week, or beach week 2006...whatever you choose. But that's enough for now.....at least I am learning a little bit to appreciate home....adios

And now its all collapsed....in my lap

"Listen to your heart.......before you tell him goodbye..."

Which is what I should have done. I had a dream last night about this guy, that I should have given more opportunity too. We were together for like a week, and when I say together, I mean we were in the preliminary stages. We definatly were not titled. But anyways thats unimportant. I basically didnt think, I got freaked out because we were diving into this relationship without really thinking about it. I went out one night, thought I wanted to hook up w/ another guy. So I ended it, because I made myself believe that I should not be in a realtionship if I wanted to hook up with other guys. And then a month later when I saw him with a new girl, my heart dropped, because i realized, I really did and do like him, I screwed up, BIG TIME....and there was nothing I could do about it. And I almost told him about it, I really was almost there, to tell him to give up on this other chick, and try again with me. But then i realized that's not fair, I like him but chances are, I would get fickle again, and poof I would push him to the side again. So I thought I was over it, I really thought I was, but then that dream last night. Why? Why the hell did I have that dream then? We were dating, and it was working, I just don't understand. So my life, I just don't get it, it's a mystery to me. And I have decided, I just have to get over you...

This weekend was fun though. Me and Kay went to Towson on Friday night to visit and party with Laura. And omg was it fun. Interesting things happened, haha. And then last night Luke, Luke's little broGina, Ashley (Gina's friend from school), Kay, and me all went and saw posideon, the movie. Really good, Really jumpy. And then we went to gina's and had ice cream, where we were joined by a bunch of other people. it was fun. But it always is fun when we hang out. But thats all for now, adios......

Summer Slow Down

So i've decided finding a job may possibly be the hardest thing known to man. Me and Kaylee have gone out 2 seperate days, handed out 10 resumes, applied at at least 20 jobs, attended a job fair (which was pointless i might add), and I have called emailed like 10 other places.....so far one phone call...one damn phone call, which was just to tell me how to apply! So at the moment, my bank account is dwindling, my free time is at an all time high causing me to be bored, at this point I kinda wish I had homework to do. How pathetic does that sound?
No I'm kidding, at least I hope I am, I should enjoy having nothing to do, it's what I was begging for all this semester. And it has been really relaxing to destress. And just hanging out with my friends, like last night we went to a movie, we were the only 4 people in the entire theater, it was amazing! O and me and kay went to the beach yesterday...how freakin amazing is that? I realized SMC is surronded by water, like seriously I can be to the water in 1/2 hour in any direction I drive. So thats gonna be my goal for the summer, go to the beach as much as possible. Another goal for the summer, road trips, loads of them, NYC, OBX, Philly, York, NJ, and anywhere else that my heart desires, hopefully I will find a job that fits around this. But that's all for now, adios.....

She makes the city seem like home....

...and now I am in SMC for 4 whole months and I have no idea what I am going to do with myself. I was leaving Philly just when it was really starting to feel like home, and I started to make real, good friends. The masque is possibly the best organization, group, thing that I have ever joined. I think I have finally found my place at La Salle. As much as I didn't want to admit it, and pretended that it was all ok, for a while, I wasn't sure if La Salle was the place for me. I mean I had some friends (my neighbors), and I had Amanda, and thank god I had her. But I didn't really have a group, but now I do, all thanks to the masque. Leaving was really sad, and a lot harder than I expected it to be. Kiss the Wall, though I didn't even know everyone that well, was still really hard. To say goodbye to those kids ( I mean adults) and knowing that they were not going to be back next year. It's still weird to say that. And then my Golden Girls, I find it absolutely amazing how close you can get to a group of people in such a short amount of time. We started to really hang out, maybe 2 months ago, probably less, and now I consider all of them to be some of the best friends. Next year is going to be crazy, because we will have so much time to continue what we started. I have made so many memories my first year of college, that I can really see how people say its the best time of your life; Movie Nights, Masque formal, inductions, baby party, pledging(it was an experience), We hate boys night, diner runs, tech nights, and the list goes on and on. It is so bittersweet to leave because now I have even more people that I am really really going to miss, but then again...the homework is over.

And Back home, geeze its so weird to say that, I am going to be back home in my parents house for the next 4 months, count them 4, I really don't know how I am going to get through. The arguing has already started, I have a curfew, I still need to find a job, I have to ask to use the car, o my the summer will be a long one. But its so nice to see the Usuals again. I missed them more than they can even comprehend, they are my home, no matter where we are, or if we are separated I know they are always there for me, and they are going to make being back in SMC worth it. So that's all for now, adios.....
