11:11 am - perfect summer?!
|
Ok it's almost July and I have made a decent amount of money just sitting on my ass. Best part is that I get to go visit Ryan whenever and go off and do whatever on the weekends. I love working for the family. End result is trading in my car and getting a new/er one. I also get to go out drinking with my OT class tomorrow! I think I'm going to love it up here!
current mood:  chipper

9:47 pm - Post Graduation Blubbering
|
So I'm an alum. It's friggin sweet. Not so great news that my grandpa is having problems getting around his house and I might be home taking care of him. He's 94 and really needs someone there. Plus my old job will give me a couple days if I asked them. I just want to be able to control everything. Hopefully when I call nine irish brothers tomorrow I'll have a job. If not it's home for me. Not where I want to spend my last summer of freedom.
On a happier note I have 106 days till I have to be in the Chicago area. I'm excited, since I'm getting a bunch of financial aid I could possibly get my own apartment. I'm still going to meet Cathy and see if she wants to live together. I think at the OT picnic I'll ask around too but I don't want more than 2 roommates.
Bah I love being back at Purdue for the summer but it's starting to get boring. I need a job bad. Searching yet again tomorrow. This time at the mall. Disney Store is hiring but I didn't make shit when I worked there. Ok congrats graduates and to all those still in the area let me know so we can hang out.
current mood:  peaceful

People are stupid. Really why would you keep going to a person who hurts you. I'm included on this, which makes me only semi-hypocritical. Hopefully not being to egotistical but I think I'm a pretty sympathetic person and will try as much as I can to help someone. But when it's because of a person I absolutely hate I can't. I'll console over the much bigger problem but not over that person. Maybe some ties should be cut for good. No reason for stress when it's my last year.

There's this feeling in my stomach and I don't know how to get rid of it. Well I guess I do know how but I don't know if it's the right thing to do. So I guess in a way I'm asking for advice. I am a very forgiving person but in this case I can't figure it out. If someone you know tells you something that happened in the past would you be able to forgive them? Especially if you have a great friendship and have a wonderful time hanging out. I am very much about pride but is this one of those times where I should forgive and forget. It's my senior year do I really want to have this in the back of my mind or think of all the fun I missed out on because I was too full of pride to forgive. I've thought of this all week and the feeling in my stomach isn't nearly as bad as it was at the beginning of the week.

I went out with Ashley on Saturday. The bars consisted of Thienman's Sports Bar and Grill and Hole in the Wall. Yes I went to a bar called Hole in the Wall. I really can't complain about Thienmans. A guy I graduated with was the bartender and I only spent 1.75 for 2 beers. When was the last time you had 2 beers for less than 2? I rest my case. Now Hole in the Wall, I have no clue how much the drinks were. Travis bought mine since there was a 5 dollar cover. The smoke was just awful. Seriously you walk into a cloud. It was so weird, like going to a high school reunion at a bar. I saw people I hadn't seen since graduation. Found out that at least 10 of my friends from home are married/engaged and an additional 4 friends were getting a divorce or are divorced. These are people my age to two years older. I am just floored. 3 of my friends are bartenders at little dive towny bars. I'm not saying all this to make myself seem better than them, it's just weird. I come to Purdue and everyone here is so much different. Either their parents came here or brothers sisters etc. My home town the goal is to get married work and have a simple life. I want to be an Occupational therapist and leave Indiana. I want to travel and live an interesting and exciting life. My friends back home think I have that chip on my shoulder that I'm better blah blah blah. It sucks, why can't people forget about the status bullshit.

9:45 pm - Screw Indiana
|
Alright after much consideration and shitty shitty weather I am going to live in either Charleston, Savannah or Charlotte. After cuddling on the couch with Laura we have decided to live together. So here's the situation: July 2009 Me and Laura living together possibly with Jarred. And Jen will be living in the same neighborhood. Yeah this is all I've done tonight. On a Friday night I couldn't think of doing anything better. Unless my actual plans work out this is what I'm counting on. Now that I've been accepted to grad school I just have 2 more years to suffer through then I can go anywhere! Someplace warm where it's not cold, snowy, shitty and where I will enjoy living and working. During my phil class I wrote out my goals, personal and career. I want to work till I'm 35 then go back and get my PhD and teach at a University. I feel ambitious now about teaching but it depends on what happens once I'm out in the field. I'm just going to enjoy the fact that I got accepted to grad school! I'll graduate in 2009 and move someplace warm and start the whole family thing.
current mood:  accomplished

6:32 pm - grad fair etc
|
So let's just say that I really need to take Ryan's advice more often. I went to the grad fair and fell in love with Midwestern again. I have no clue why I axed them in the first place. But that's behind me and I'm now applying. As well as applying to University of Indianapolis, but only if I find one more person to write that recommendation. I love Dr. Z but with everything that is going on in her life right now I'm not going to ask her. So two applications done, two to go and it's wait and see time. I'm past stressing about grad school. Okay so now I must return to writing essays and studying for an exam.
OH and I got my car back it's all fixed!!!

7:13 pm - this will be the longest semester of my life
|
|
Honestly I only like one of my classes. Ok maybe two, HK & Phil 330. That's terrible and it's because the other classes I'm taking do not pertain to my future career. Here goes my attempt at a 4.0 this semester. Does anyone else feel that band isn't quite band anymore? It seems like it is taking us way longer to learn things than it ever did with Doc and Bill. Maybe it's just me but it seems so much different. Anyways I'm going to suck it up and start doing music theory hw. Such a terrible class.

Things are working out so extremely well! The apt, staying in Indy, not having to drive all over the state, and being stress free. Actually looking forward to this week. So exciting! Back at Purdue for good Monday!

3:02 pm - DONE!!!...almost
|
Finished with Bio but I freaking got a B in the lecture part...GGGRRR Sort of pisses me off but you know I don't care. I had a LOT of fun this summer and if this is what happens when I barely study imagine what this fall will be like. Goal for the fall by the way is 4.0. I work this weekend and head home Sunday right after work. While at home I get to help(by help I mean do all by my self) clean the camper, the little bedroom(which used to be mine till it became storage) and mow the yard for my grandfather. I don't mind that so much I haven't done much for my family this summer besides not cost them a dime. So I'm home Mon-Wed, BJ's Wednesday for a JAJS reunion, Indy on Thursday for Daniel Tosh!!! then home or maybe staying in Indy till Saturday for Jessy bridal/bachelorette shower. Not excited about that, mainly cause that's more money I really don't have to spend. I might try to get out of the bachelorette party by riding down with Mom and Grandmother. That brings me up to the weekend before band camp. Ah what a weekend that will be. Packing and frantically dealing with my mom that wants to come over and help me move in when I go over to Purdue. Which translates to no longer staying at Ryan's during camp. But it might mean staying in a hotel with a pool/hot tub. The best option would be to get into our apartment on the 15th or 16th. But I can deal with whatever, I've learned to go with the flow a lot more since this summer started.
I cannot wait to get back to see everyone and have a bedroom to myself!!! Enjoy the rest of your summer kiddos fall semester is right around the corner! And I already have most of my books!

Falling in love with Jack Johnson all over again....:-)
3 weeks and 3 days till I'm out of the Fort for good!
Cowboy Mouth concert coming up next week-check em out they're good.
Found out that Daniel Tosh is coming to Indy August 9-13th so let me know if you'd like to join. I want to go either Wed or Thurs.
It seems like I want to rush the last 3 weeks of summer but on the other hand I'm ok with summer going this slow. I'm not ready for solid classes from 11:30-6 and 12-6 or band everyday. I like being a bum like I have been all summer. But I'm starting Tae Bo tomorrow!!!
Bah too much to do and once classes start there's no slowing down till October...

19 hours is not nearly enough time but gotta deal with what you have right? Just finished my first exam in Bio 100 just one word annoying. So I work all weekend and will have the apt to myself. No complaints here, I need the money. This summer just continues to go at a fantastic pace. But that might be a result of road trips every 2 weeks it seems. Once again no complaints. This is almost how I thought the summer would go. Although I wish I could spend a little more time with the JayCo kids. I miss em... Anyways back to class for lecture then lab. Yippie hopefully I stay awake. But that might be a lost cause today.

so as i sit here not helping the bride to be do the guest favor things i decided to update a little. work still kinda sucks but i can deal with it for 6 more weeks. I'm kinda scared about tonight though cause I'm not feeling so well. like every time i stand up i get a monster headache for 20 seconds at least of unbearable pain. but i'll take that over what i was like friday. maybe i should back up and explain my week.
tuesday was my abnormal final aced the class no problem. i went home had DQ with Juls! Dinner with Dad then i just sat there thinking why don't i leave tonight and drive when it's cool out. so i left for purdue around 10 and got there at 12:02. Wednesday i really didn't do anything. Ryan and I tried to play raquetball but apparently you have to take at least 6 hours in the summer to be able to get into the corec. Thursday pretty sure i watched the second half of the US game, watched Clemens return at BWS then out to Cactus!!! Not as crowded but definitely just as fun. Looking forward to this fall cause Renee is going to be here till December. Like i need more people to go out to the bars with but oh well. Felt perfectly fine after the cactus but when i woke up friday that was a different story. I just curled up in a ball after Ryan left for class but you know i just thought it was from drinking. Went to lunch with Ali then hung out at her place till like 5:30...good times! I guess I should have known when i watched a movie at her place under 2 blankets that something was wrong. but no. made it back to ryans and just curled up under his blanket and watched movies. the trip to panera was fun. i was so weak and weary i'm actually surprised i made it to the booth to sit down. so lesson to be learned make sure you're well hydrated and have eaten well before going out. i have had hardly any appetite for a while now and it bugs me because i know i need to eat but i just don't. anyways saturday we went to the Astros White Sox game yeah you'd think it would be warm and you wouldn't need a sweatshirt. but our seats were covered so at the end of the 3rd we moved thank goodness! i can handle the sunburn i currently have. but anyways long story short i was under a blanket and freezing then i'd be burning up. terrible ending to a wonderful time. so both ryan and i are sick. but i'm better all i have now is an annoying little cough every 3 hours or so and headaches every time i stand up or someone plays loud annoying music or shows. work will be fun tonight looking forward to that.
summer from now on out: work, save$$$, study, survive living with bridzilla and jake but at least between now and August i get another trip to Purdue

I take back all the bad things i said about work!! I LOVE it!! the girls are great and even creepy Kevin is cool. so all the guys seem to know me even when i haven't introduced myself. i know i wear a name tag but they know i'm from Portland. it's just a little weird. OOO and i got my vacation off! Ready or not PURDUE HERE I COME! I made enough today to pay off my credit card bill when it comes and enough extra to save. And I sold another book on Amazon, even more money coming in!! It feels so good to be making money and be able to support myself. man all i need to do is work 15 days like today and i've got all the money saved that i need 30 days for me to be comfy all year. man oh man it's a GREAT day!

I start Richards Monday! yes I am the ultimate bum. I have had 2 full weeks off to do nothing and another week to just study and read. I love it I actually have some what of a summer vacation. So from next week untill summer session one is over I'll be working like crazy and studying in between sleeping and eating. And surprisingly enough that makes me incredibly happy! I need to do something to keep sane. For those of you in the Indy area I will be down Saturday afternoon with Big brother. Not sure what all we're doing but give me a call. Yes even you bandos that are busy if you have free time give me a call. Nothing really else to update you guys on. So now back to abnormal psych. Yea! fun stuff right there seriously.
current mood: happy!

Even though it's the end of the semester and I probably should be sad but I'm not. I've had the best time this year. Although I won't be around the much for the summer I'll still get to make a few trips to visit people stuck here this summer. Really best of luck making it through the summer here, my advise drink heavily and find something productive to do. If I've seemed anti-social lately I don't mean to be I've just been sick this whole week. I finally got out Friday and went to BWS with Ryan to watch the Reds Astros game. It was a blast as well as the rest of the night! You might be wondering why I'm updating at 4 something in the morning well it's because I fell asleep at 6pm yesterday and someones car alarm went off this morning at 3. So here I am wide awake and no one is up that I can talk to and studying doesn't seem like the thing to do. Since it's finals week and probably the last time I'll get to hang out with you guys in a long time give me a call or send me a message if you want to have dinner or something before you leave. I have finals Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. So that leaves me free Wed evening and Thursday during the day(fam is coming to move me that evening) then final time out to the cactus and well Friday I'll be studying like mad for my Saturday final. It's been one hell of a year and next year only promises more fun!
current mood:  wide awake!
