next week is my last week of work for the summer. i'm alternately excited and sad.

19 days until school. :D

so i'm home. i've been here since last sunday. i miss rob, and i miss school, but i'm rather enjoying not having anything to do, though i'm sure that will change in the next few days.

i called work yesterday and left a message with one of my bosses, but she was in a meeting and didn't get back to me. i don't really mind - more time to relax! but i'll call again on tuesday and hopefully start working next week.

working at commencement last sunday was pretty sad. seeing all of my friends who graduated and realizing that i'm now a senior in college...i was on the verge of tears all day. :( i worked in the information tent with a girl i've had a few classes with, melanie, and we got to hand out programs and direct people, including many graduates. the ceremony started at 10:30, and at 10:45 we were still getting students asking where they could get their cap and gown D: the day was made worse by the fact that it was like 40 degrees and windy and everyone was freezing their butts off.

it's so unreal that i'm a senior. it seems like it was just yesterday that i was finishing my senior year of high school, going to orientation and getting amped up for college...and now it's almost over. WTF GUYS :'( yeah i know i still have a whole year left, and i'm probably going to grad school after i'm done, but still. ughhh my lifeeee :(

though, on a happier note, i got a 3.53 GPA this semester, and i now have a 3.05 overall. :D :D it's amazing how much i've changed as a person in the last year - i can't believe it myself. it really makes me feel good to know that i've come a long way, and i'm sure that it's not going to stop :)

14 days until i see rob!

woot

i got my hair cut yesterday. it's about the same length that i had it over the summer, and i really like it.

my cell phone's battery is definitely on its way out. i charged it to full last night, and just from having it idle next to me all night (as i always do, because i use my phone for an alarm), it lost like half of its charge. laaaame.

my brother mentioned something about him being eligible for a phone upgrade at the end of january...i'm not sure why, since our 2-year plan won't be up until august. but if he's eligible, and i am too by association, i really, really like the looks of the samsung propel.



it slides out to a full keyboard, which is awesome because i text a lot. i fiddled around with it at an at&t store and i really liked the way it felt and acted. and it's pretty! the color is one of the big reasons i like it so much haha :( i really hope i can upgrade to that! i mean, as long as i don't have to pay $279.99 for it :| IDK, WE SHALL SEE.


rob, ted and brian will be here soon to pick me up...WHITE CASTLE ADVENTURES YEAH :D

HAPPY 2009!!! 2008 was pretty okay and all, but hopefully this year will be even better than the last one was.

rob was here friday and saturday...it was fun...

15 more days of being home...i'm going to give work a call tomorrow and see if i can get some time there over the next two weeks. i was with my parents at this historic house in my town this afternoon and i saw one of my coworkers, a head teacher at the preschool, and she said they are desperate for help. so that's good for me!

( 2008 in review: a survey )

-cameron got me a new monitor from the CS department! my old one died last week and i had been borrowing his friend's powerbook since. so yayyy! this one is smaller, though, so everything looks bigger, which kinda sucks. it's like the monitor on my parents' computer at home. but at least i can use my computer again!

-speaking of cameron, we're going home either tomorrow night after my class ends at 7:30, or wednesday morning. i'm soooo excited! :D i've missed home, and i need a break from school. (even though i'll have papers to write...blah)

-i haven't checked my mailbox today, but i really hope my killers poster thingy that i got on ebay came! it apparently shipped last thursday, so it could very well be there. and i'm gonna peek in rob's box and see if day & age came :''') I NEED TO LISTEN TO IT LIKE NOWWWW I'VE HELD OFF LONG ENOUGH.

-i need to talk to my civil war professor about handing in all of those papers that i kind of haven't done yet...D: i'm not making the mistakes that i did last semester. i mean, he's the nicest guy ever, and he's my absolute favorite professor, so i shouldn't be worried...but i am. meh. i'm heading over there after i post this...

-i got my first yearbook check! $180 woot!

-looking at pictures of this girl i went to high school with, who is now a senior, makes me feel so old...i'm only two and a half, three years older than she and her friends are..it's so strange.


i can't wait to relax tonight...then just two classes tomorrow and i'm free for a few days :) wooo lata

oh hey

life is good. rob is ever fantastic. my friends are the best. STN is crazy this week (i'm chief photog for the week and i'm so glad i didn't actually win the position).

tomorrow is midnight mania and the first time this new pep band with a new director and a ton of new people will perform. i'm quite excited! we still sound pretty badass. :)

saturday, my parents are coming up for the day for parents' weekend. i'll be so happy to see them, and spend time with them and cameron =]

and saturday night is the australian pink floyd!! 2 DAYS AWAY ASLJDALS;FHLSAF OMG.

time to go to psych...yay (?)

k bye!

life's pretty good.

i love my wednesday night journalism class...i think i'm really going to learn a lot from it. i thought i didn't like my professor at first, but after last night when he went off at several of my classmates for talking in class and not doing work, i realized that he's pretty badass. (like honestly, there's no reason juniors and seniors in college can't write a simple 3 page paper interviewing a journalist...yet people didn't do it! i mean come on, EVEN I DID IT =D)

tomorrow night my school is having a relay for life on campus...i'm pretty excited. i've never been to one before but from what i've heard it's going to be pretty awesome. i'm on the STN team and there's like 10 of us doing it...staying up all night(ish) for a good cause, woo!

there's a freight train that goes along the tracks behind my apartment at least once a day, and i always run to the kitchen window to watch it go by when i hear it. i'm such a little kid.

it's cool and windy today and it finally feels like fall. :D

i'm happy.

i'm sick. with a cold. AGAIN. my entire body hurts. fuck my life.


rob and i are celebrating our 5 month anniversary today. :]


seeing my brother's name on this week's STN crew list is really weirding me out...

i'm listening to sam's town the whole way through for the first time in a while. i can't believe i forgot how amazing this album is, and how much i adore the killers. it's been 4+ years since i loved "somebody told me" and "mr. brightside," but didn't even give the rest of hot fuss a second listen...and in october/november, it will be 2 years since i first heard "when you were young" and i fell madly in love with them. and it's been, what, 16 months since i saw them live and it was the best night of my life... and about the same amount of time since i joined caps_thekillers and met a group of amazing people who have a passion for the same kinds of music that i do, and who don't take things seriously, just like me! ilu all <3

this post really doesn't have a point. i'm just being taken back through my memories thanks to this album, and it feels amazing.

it's really nice not having homework yet because i can sit around and write things like this :D

i never update because i suck. IDK. epic weekend with rob was epic, when is it ever not? more on that in another post. i'm tired of working, but i'm only working for 3 more weeks starting on monday, yesss. it's monsooning. 35 days until school...only 5 more weeks...thank god.

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

if i wasn't that, i would be

Ottava rima? Me? That can't be right!    Too frivolous? But tut, there's no such thing! Let others ponder thoughts of wrong and right,    Or sit and think how much they love the spring; I'd rather spend my time in gleeful spite,    Or maybe laugh, or maybe sit and sing. Besides, it might be fun to be inspiring - But surely it would get so very tiring. What Poetry Form Are You?

hm, pretty accurate, y/n?

HI. i feel good tonight. how are you? :D

last night i had a dream that one of my good friends came down with a mysterious illness and died suddenly...it was creepy as hell. i woke up from the dream not sure if it was true or not, leading me to freak out for a while...then i fell back to sleep and had an awesome dream about riding hoverboards in some cool old mansion. LOL IDK. i'm weird.

work is seriously getting obnoxious...i need to get out of this one classroom...i'm tired of kids who don't listen and think it's hilarious to beat each other up. FUCK YOU ALL. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ONLY 3, 4, 5, FUCK. YOU. ALL. arghhhhhhhh

i see rob next saturday/sunday! and maybe friday, the 4th... :O i'm so happy <3

i need to like, post pictures of stuff. maybe later..fuck i'm lazy

are capschats happening and i'm just not being invited? or are capschats not happening at all?

because it's summer now, and i know most of us capsers are home from school so...

yeah, we should capschat sometime, if we aren't already. :D!

so much to say...?

i'm home for the summer.

i miss rob.

i'm going to try and see him this weekend? if my parents are ok with it?

also going to try and get tickets for the killers on august 1st? if my parents are ok with it too? (yeah i know, i'm 19, i should be free to do whatever, blah blah but idk)

i'm hanging out with lauren tomorrow.

i'm going to start working again soon. preschool here i come :D.

i spent last night at rob's house :) we slept in different rooms so don't get any ~ideas~. but it was really nice.

did i mention i miss him?

and that i think i love him with all of my heart?

i'm going to make this summer a much better one than last one was. hopefully i won't go crazy over the next three months like i did last year...

and now, i pass out.

i have a cough and it's pissing me offfff =(
o hey that rhymed. llolol, what?

i stayed up all night last night doing work and got about 2 hours of sleep in the morning. it kinda sucked. but i'm almost totally done with work now, so yay!

i got a stupid charley horse in my left calf while i was napping earlier :( DNW DNW. walking hurts now...blah. though apparently i'm still holding onto my tradition of getting one per semester~ (like it's something i can choose =\ )

i still didn't introduce rob to you guys but i think i'll make another post shortly to do so. :D

wheee

too much work.

party time tonight! :D


on wednesday, christina and i took a random drive home. we visited AHS and picked up the band music that we'll be playing with the high school band in the memorial day parade, and visited with a few of our old teachers. then we stopped by my house and i spent a good hour talking to my parents and cameron. it was weird, but it was really nice to see them again :). i'm seeing them again tomorrow, along with my extended family - we're going to a baptism for a new baby cousin. i'm looking forward to it.

2 finals due on tuesday...blah. i hate take home essays. i would much rather go to an actual final where i could just study, take it, and be done. but nooo, my professors have to make me put everything off because i have to do it on my own time =|

i'll be one of the very few people on campus next wednesday through saturday...it should be interesting? i will have to find inventive ways to amuse myself!

commencement is next sunday, and i'm ushering at it like i did last year. it's going to be so hard to say goodbye to some of my closest friends...i'm trying not to think about it yet =\

rob is amazing. i haven't properly introduced him to LJ-land yet, haha. i'll work on that. i loves himmmm =)


the killers are going to be in atlantic city on august 1st! at the borgata, the same place that i saw them at...and i am going to try and make a serious effort to go. i mean, my parents might not be totally down for the idea, and the issue of transportation comes up...i could try asking joe to take me, like he took me last year, but he might be off doing navy stuff, idk. i'd have to try and work something out... but if i could just have another amazing experience like i had that night... man, i want it so much.
we'll see.


i love you all, by the way. even though i haven't been updating much lately, i still read my flist every day. :D

no thanksgiving game today because of the rain :'( but i might go hang out when they play tomorrow night.


my brother turns 16 today...happy birthday, cameron! =D


lauren and i hung out yesterday...went to AHS, and ikea, and costco, and the mall...and it was good times! i've missed that.


off to watch the macy's parade soon

happy thanksgiving everyone!

you know what i want? but it's not going to happen. *emosigh* i hope i can do it. i want to. i need to. i don't want to back out of this because i'll regret it, i know i will. ARGHHH

whatever happened to "i'm gonna talk to mervyn because i'm not going to see him for the next 11 days"? =| I SUCK.
