___January 2007___January 30, 2007 I woke up at 6:30 today and did not want to get up. But I had ballet so I had to. I was watching the temperature online while I was getting ready and it said -5. Ooo this would suck. So I continued to get ready and I checked one more time before I left. It now read -12 with the wind chill at -22. Noo!!!! That's soo cold and I'm going to be trekking up to the gym, that's like 16-17 minutes away! Aw. Okay. So I'm bundled up and I begin. I wear my scarf so it covers my mouth and nose, so that mositure goes to my eyes and forehead, sorta, anyway it does because my eyelashes get crystally/icicly and then my hair did it too. And my dad mentioned this yeterday, but it finally happened, my nose stuck when I breathed in. It sucked so much. I finally made it to the gym and waited. Class is suppose to start at 8:15, but the teacher can't make it till 8:30. Okay. Whatever. This guy who works at the gym comes to us and gives one of us a package, it's the stuff you use on your feet to stick. He says he'll call her to let her know it has arrived, it's 8:35. So he comes back and it's 8:50 now, so he says we can go after we sign a sheet. That would have been my 3rd class, but I have only had 1 actual class. It's a little frustrating. So I went to the Marche, defrosted, got some doughnuts and a coffee and went to see Nick before he had to go to work. I came back and took a shower and got ready for the day. I had a little time before I go back out in the cold, so I cleaned up my room a little bit. Put away some clothes I know I won't wear, didn't make that much of a difference though, lol. Anyway, so I left for Jazz. Brr! Was it cold. 20 minutes later I arrive and in the front middle of the room is a huge! puddle of water. The ceiling has a huge leak in it and has created this 15ft long maybe by 6ft wide puddle. But we would have class anyway. So before it begins, there is a scramble of workers that come in and begin to dry the mess. I mean, they do have to save that floor. It's old. So they do and leave. We have class. It was good. I really like that class. So afterwards I left and dropped off my roommate form, the I'll wait for a roommate if I get one option. And then go to the Marche to get some lunch, a club sandwich! Mmm. It was good. And then I get my Jazz music all in order on my computer and I go to Geog. Geog would be my least favorite course this semester, but I'll live with it. That was finally over and I got my mail. Then I did my Jazz listening homework and then Geog reading/question thing, and now I've been studying for History. I got dinner at Cook and then did more reading. 10:25PM
January 29, 2007 So let's see. What went down yesterday. Well, I finished my English. I went over to Nick's around 7 and we watched 40 Year Old Virgin since I hadn't seen it. Yeah, I know, that's bad, nearly everyone has seen that movie. I liked it. I left whenever it was done and came back here and went to sleep. Today I woke up and got ready and went to Econ and then History. Then went to Cook to fight the crazy lunch goers to get some pasta with meatballs. I finally made it out of there after 20 minutes and was back in my room. I called my parents to talk about the new roommate option dealio. Choices are: buy out the room, I move someplace else, someone I know moves in with me, or I wait and see what happens. Looks like it will be wait and see what happens. But! Nick wanted me to see about moving closer to him. I simply don't want to go through the hassle of picking up my stuff to move 10 minutes away. But I said I'd go to the reslife desk place on Redstone and would inquire what they had available. So it was time for English and that was nice. I got my mail, dropped off my backpack, we went to his place and dropped off his and we were off on our adventure. Now this is my normal walk on both Tuesdays and Thursdays, as we were practically right next door to my Jazz class building. We went in and he sat down as I went to talk, or ask my question. They said I should just go talk to the guy at the front desk where I live. ..lol. So we leave and go back to his dorm. But we had a nice walk together and he became friends with a dog, lol. So we went back to his room and read our English homework out loud. He had to go to an RA class and I left to finish the reading. I did just that and went over my history stuff. Then I guess it was time to get some dinner. I got some potato and cheese soup, but crap!! There was no more potato left!!! I just had the soupy part of it. I was very disappointed by that. So I went down to where the Cynic meeting would be. I had planned to tell Ike that I won't be continuing my work there. As I don't really have the time, and it's not for me anymore. So I planned to wait outside and catch him on the way out, ok, not problem there. So I look through the new paper and decide to get closer to the exit. ...No one is in there!! Oh no! So I guess they had the meeting elsewhere, lol, oh well. I guess I'll just email him now before I get assigned something. So I stormed off to Nick's and I did his laundry, lol. Yeah, I admit that. I washed his sheets because that's where we're thinking the rash came from. So now we'll see what happens. And we watched Chronicles of Narnia, well somewhat as he kept getting distracted by stuff. At one point we were drawing with pen/sharpie on each others bodies and then another time he was ordering exotic animal jerky. lol, like kangaroo, ostrich, elk, etc etc. lol, to try it all! Crazy. haha. So then I left and now I'm back and shall go to sleep. 11:10PM
January 28, 2007 So I got 11 hours of sleep Friday night. I am a loser, but it felt great. haha. So I woke up, got my shower done, and did some History reading. I then went over to Nick's and we waited until it was time to begin our day. It was snowing by the way! And for some reason, I hadn't since the time I've been here bothered to take a close look at the snowflakes. For some reason, I was thinking that the snowflakes were soo small that you wouldn't be able to see their shapes and their pretty designs. But you can! I had been clueless and when we were waiting for the bus to arrive, I admired all the pretty snowflakes on my gloves. lol. And then squished them, or licked them. lol. So we got on the bus at 1:20. Took it to UMall. Waited for the next bus at 1:35 and went to Williston and to the movie theater there. We were to see Epic Movie. It ended up being pretty stupid, but that's okay because we laughed a lot. So we had some time to kill before the next bus so of course we went into Best Buy for a while, lol. Finally it was time for the bus. We went back to UMall and went inside for a while. Checked out the game stores, and a few toy stores, lol, and got some McDonalds for dinner. Yum. Walked around some more, but we decided to get on the 6:50 bus back to school. We did just that and went to his dorm. Oh!! I got season 1 of Reno 911 at Best Buy, so we were to watch that if nothing was going on that night. So we play a little Tony Hawk on the xbox and then there was a fiasco with me losing the top of the ice cream in the freezer and not being able to pull it out, and it was sideways, and it was of course not frozen, and of course Nick had just cleaned the fridge. I felt pretty bad, lol, but I cleaned it up, .. as much as I could. It froze! lol. So then we watched the first disc of Reno 911, yay. 8 episodes. So good. But those first episodes are so different from how they shoot it now. And I can't wait! for the movie to come out. So we went to sleep. I woke up with another rash. Again. I've decided it's from his bed. He doesn't want to wash it, but whatever I will. Not a big deal. lol. So then I left and got some breakfasty stuff at the Marche. Came back. Did laundry and took my shower. I finished History reading and here is my break before I start my English. And then I am done, yay. And guess what!! It's finally warmer at like 15 degrees! The difference is amazing. 2:36PM
January 26, 2007 Somehow I keep managing to walk back at bad times of night. And I mean bad, meaning the weather. I just came back, and it was -6 degrees, but felt like -18. I actually didn't think it was that bad, lol, oh well. Maybe because I was numb afterall. But the weird thing I find now, is that my eye lashes get like icy. It's really weird. I can see little drips of water on them and then when I'm indoors, all around my eyes gets real wet. Strange! Anyway, so I eventually went over to see Nick last night and we watched some tv. I woke up this morning for my 3 classes. Econ was fine, it was cold before and after. History was good, still cold before and after. Very infact. After I went to the Atrium and got a pizza. Walked back with it, and I was shocked because it was still hot! Yay tin foil. So then I ate and then went to English. Brr, it's still cold! Our high today was 3. 3!! Nuts. So then that was over and I got the mail, I got a 2010 pin, yay. I also have a 2009 pin, hehe. I didn't do much. I did read a chapter of Econ that I needed to do, so that's good at least. Then mom called and we chatted. At 6 I went to the Marche and got dinner, a smoothie, a box of club crackers, and some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream by Ben & Jerry's. Mmm Mmm! lol. Delightful. They had like nothing. It sucked. Anyway so we watched some stuff on his comp, but I left early because I didn't want to do anything tonight because I wasn't feeling well and so as I left he went to Colin and friends. And now here I am! I'll be a weirdo and go to sleep early, lol. If these people are quiet enough that is! 10:03PM
January 25, 2007 I clearly suck at updating this month. I apologize. So let's see. I went to see Nick, to continue the previous blog, and I can pretty much guarantee that we watched some sort of TV lol. I left and went to sleep. The next morning I got up and got ready. Went to Econ and omg, so this person next to us let out this terribly smelly fart. Omg. It hit us like a wall and I couldn't breathe and I couldn't stop laughing. Both of us were like that. Omg, sooo horrible. Where Nick said the quote of the day, lol. Then I went to my History class. I was to have a quiz there and I was nervous because the course is tough, but I like it anyway. And so quiz time came and it was actually not as bad as I had expected it would be. So yay!! I came back briefly to change out my notebooks and things and then I went to Cook to get some lunch. I sat down there to eat and also read my English homework that would be for the next class. I then went to English and that was good. I checked mail, nothing. Then I came back and read my 30 pages of History. Then I went over to see Nick. He was messing with his computer and I played on the xbox and did rather badly lol. Jay played a little bit but then left. I got dinner. Yum. Oh and I had gotten some hot chocolate earlier and that was quite quite good. Then tv time began, I watched American Idol for 2 hours and then finally Nick finished with his computer, or the majority of it and we watched Beauty and the Geeks and then finally One Tree Hill. Oh what shows. Today I got some coffee and as I was walking back to my dorm it was -1 degrees, so the coffee got cold immediatly. I got a little sad and drank it on the way back. I showered and then eventually went to Music. (Jazz=Music. Music=Jazz.) It took 20 minutes and I actually found it not to be that cold. Yay. Class was good. I really like that class too. He always plays for us as class is about to begin. Then I went back out into the cold and nearly died. I went half way back to stop at the Marche, and good thing because I had to warm up! It was terrible. So cold. I didn't see any food I wanted so I left and came back here. Dropped off my things and went to Cook. I got tomato instead of mayo, *sigh*, and went back to my room to eat. I got a letter, yay. Then it was time to go back out into the cold and go to Geog. We had a substitute and she let us out early. That was nice. I came back and finished with my Music reading and my Geog reading. Found out I had 50 more pages for History for next week so I started on that and I'm half way. A girl in my hall asked to borrow my colored pencils and I have no idea who she is. I mean, I recognize her, but no clue on the name. So I blogged. I was worried she wouldn't come back, because I would like to go see Nick eventually, but I'd like to get my pencils back too. But she just came back. Yay. And I apparently can't talk and mumbled a strange "heyy". lol. Anywho. In other unsurpising news, it's very very cold. It'll be like a high of 2 and a low of -12 tomorrow, with a wind chill of -25 to -30. I just might not make it. And Jimmy must be pretty much dead. Oh my plant! 6:27PM Quote of the day: Reaction to the smelly fart: "Ah .. Somebody clearly had the egg sandwich today." - Nick
January 23, 2007 Was too tired last night to update. Yesterday was the beginning of the second week. I had Econ and then History. Went to the Atrium afterwards and then came back here. Went to English not much after. Then I came back here and did my homework. Then I went to see Nick for a bit. Then I had to go to a Cynic meeting, but I ate dinner at Cook first. Got some soup, corn chowder, mm. And pudding lol. Then the meeting. My assigned picture didn't go in. But I got assigned one on Saturday and that was in there. On Oaxaca. Then we had a long meeting at the end of it and I went back to Nick's. We watched tv and waited for this Atlantis program to start. He fell asleep near the end of it and I went home, lol. Oh well. So today. I had ballet for the first time today since last week it was canceled. So I got up early for my 8:15 class. The teacher can't make it til 8:30 because of where she lives, but that's okay. So I was real nervous with it, but seeing the other girls made me feel pretty good afterall. Yay! Most were first years like me who had taken dance for years and skipped right into this class and was hoping they'd be okay doing that. There were some seniors who had to take this class in order to graduate. How about that? Anyway so then I left there and stopped at the Marche for some coffee. I came back here and took my shower. Eventually went to Music and that was good. One class I got out 40 minutes early, this time it went 5 minutes over. Afterwards I went to the Marche and picked up some lunch, Manicotti, yum. Saw Colin. Came back here and did some reading. Then I went to Geog. That class doesn't thrill me as much as the others, but that's alright. So then I went to the mail spot and got two packages. Yay! And then I dropped my coke and for some reason thought it would be okay to open it and it exploded everywhere. Grrr! And now I'm listening to some jazz for class and then I'll get to my Geog work. 5:43PM
January 21, 2007 Looks like I've been away from the computer again! Ah well. lol. I am still here. So I'll get down to business since this is me taking a break from my reading. the 19th: A Friday, okay. I woke up and got ready for classes. I had Econ and then History. Both were swell. I really like the History class. I still have the feeling it'll be tough, but the teacher is just so cool that I can't get over it. He played some ABBA, a scene from both Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and High School Musical. I then did some Econ and then had to go to English. That was nice too. Then Nick and I dropped our things off at my room and we went down to Church Street. We stopped at 2 camera stores to find out some prices for 120 film. We went to Starbucks and were kicked out because the fire alarm was going off in the mall, so we had to leave too. So we went into Homeport as the fire trucks arrived, lol. And did our thing. I bought him 3 toys, lol, they were on sale and so it totaled to like $1.50. hahaha. What a deal. So then we went into the mall, it was fine. Hollister opened up there and he didn't know of the store before he saw me wearing clothes there. Then Jay had clothes from there too and didn't know it was both a guys/girls store, lol. So I was like we'll check it out. He felt uncomfortable hahah. So then we went to Macy's and sprayed some perfume/cologne. We left there and went to Borders. Then we ordered/picked up some Italian food from Ken's. We took the free bus back up. Stopped at my place to get his stuff. Then went to his room and ate. It was very yummy. Then I took a nap, lol, it was still early. And later we went over to University Heights to see Colin and friends there. That place is pretty cool. Like a hotel. So we hung out in of their rooms for the night. Nick and I left around 2 something and stopped at his place and then crashed in my room a little before 3. the 20th: Woke up at 9 ish and showered and then we went to the Health Clinic because I've had this rash for a few days and I wanted to see if anything could be done. Went in and did my thing there. It was a bad experience, like the guy who checked up on me just didn't know what I was talking about. My shot that is, and grabbed the PDR and looked things up. Oh lol. So I would come back if I got sick. So then Nick and I wanted some breakfast, but it was nearly noon and nothing would be open for breakfast foods. Unless we walked about a mile and a half in the snow/cold to Sneakers. I didn't want to do that lol. Too cold. So we went to the Marche and got some food. Then we went to his place and watched an episode of Boston Public. I was real tired so we took a 3 hour nap, lol. It was great. I felt better. Then I ordered some pizza from Big Daddy's and the poor guy called and said he was at my dorm. Aw no!! (Like a 10 min walking distance). Aw! I felt bad, but told them to come to another location. So he finally came and well I had to tip him pretty good, lol oh well. We ate, it was soo yummy. We watched History of the World Part I. Yay. Then another Boston Public. Then some TV time. The Mythbusters special Pirate Edition! Yeah. It was awesome. Then we watched another episode of that. And then 2 hours of people going under a sex change from her to him, and him to her. Very interesting. Then he walked me back. today!: I woke up around 10:30, took my shower and got dressed. Then I did 4 washers and 2 dryers of laundry. Lots! And now I have no way to pay for laundry anymore :( Help me mommy. lol. And so then I also did my 40 pages of English reading. Nick stopped over briefly because he bought me a mattress pad and a pillow. I'll pay him back the $15. All on sale! And so then I started my 70 page history reading. People are being annoying upstairs. Anyway. I'll get dinner eventually and eat with Nick, and depending if I finish the reading, I'll either come back to finish or not have to. I am cold. 6:18PM Quote of the day: "At last, a teacher who uses Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure as a teaching source." - some kid
January 18, 2007 Ended up having some pork and mashed potatoes for dinner last night. It was yummy. Then Nick and I did a lot of tv watching. We finished the Office, then went to the regular tv and watched two hours of American Idol, Beauty and the Geek, and One Tree Hill. lol. Fantastic shows! lol .. Yeah. So today I took my time in the morning since my first class on Thursdays is at 12:30. So I left for Jazz/Music class and ugh that walk sucks. It takes me 20 minutes to get there, and it's uphill. It was cold today, but thankfully in the high 20s, no longer hovering around 0. Class wasn't long at all today, we got out 40 minutes early and so I went to the Marche for lunch. I brought it back and it was real good. This antipasto bianca something. I saved the rest for later, and it was my dinner. But I had Geog first. I told the teacher that I'd be leaving 30 minutes early. I hate to do that, but I wanted to be on time for this picture session I was attending. So when it was time, I left and dropped my stuff off and went to the place. I was introduced to the guy, cool and took pictures as he talked to some kids. Then that finished and I came back here, brr. And did my homework. Had done music earlier, and so just had a lot of Geog reading to do. Then I chose my pictures and now I'm just waiting for Nick to finish his stuff. Then I'll go over and watch the Office and Grey's Anatomy. My poor poor Jimmy is turning brown!! *cries* I can't lose my plant!! 7:21PM
January 17, 2007 So I went to the Cynic meeting and sat around, but I got assigned a project, so lol, alright. Guess I'm still in it. For now anyway. And so then I came back here and got my book for Nick, we are trading books and I went to his place. Barely making it since my feet were hurting badly and my ankle hurt. I am a mess! But I did grab a pizza first. We watched the final episode of the Amazing Race and then some Office shows, but then I had to leave. And when I left, the temperature was at it's worst for the night. Of course! It was 1 degree outside, but with a windchill of -21. Um, it was brutal!! I walked back soo quickly, had my head buried in my hood and could barely see where I was going, but I know the path so well I did it pretty much without looking. And then I was using the book I took from Nick, as a shield to block the wind from my face that was a little exposed. But ooo so terrible! And so I went to sleep in my warm bed and had to get up the next morning and the bathrooms are always sooo cold. It sucks. But it only makes me take a quick shower. I get dressed and head out, still quite cold, but no wind factor, and go to my Econ class. Nick shows up and it feels like last semester. I even saw some of the same kids, a nice chunk of them. Then I went to my next class, History. It seems pretty intense, but the teacher is good so I think I'll like it. Then I came back here and did some reading homework for Econ. But came to the realization that I thought wrong on when my English class was. Thinking it starts at 2:15 when that is actually when it ends. But I only noticed this at 1:05 when it starts at 1:25. So I rushed out the door and got there on time and took a seat. Finally Nick showed up to that. That class seems good too. I have a lot of reading to do in the majority of my classes this semester, but I don't think it will be too bad. So then I got lunch after that and Nick came back to my room to check out the change with Emily's stuff gone. I'll probably put on sheets soon, because I'm tired of looking at a naked bed. I'm using the top of her desk to put my books on it, but that's it really. Then I finished Econ, did some reading in History, and then did more reading in English and did a paragraph. We'll be covering a lot in there, and I'm actually already familiar with a lot too. So that's cool. I talked to mom and that's it! I plan to get dinner eventually, I'm craving for some good pasta, hopefully the Marche will have some. But it's kind of a rare thing that they have something I like, pasta that is. They had lasagna on Sunday which was very good! I love their lasagna. Or stuffed shells, mm! So that's what I'm hoping for, lol. But no way to tell unless I go. So there's that and probably see Nick and finish the Office episodes. Maybe tonight, but in the near future, we're going to make a run to Wal-Mart because I need food desperately, because I've got like nothing in this room. Only candy, which is probably old, haven't checked it. Dr. Pepper, and some soup that I'm not in the mood for (believe it or not, even though it's currently 1 degree out lol), and popcorn. I want some breakfast foods. Oh!! And Jimmy is back at UVM, but in Nick's room since it was too cold even for me to be trekking out there last night. So maybe .. tomorrow night. It'll be a little warmer, 30ish degrees, lol. 5:59PM
January 16, 2007 Sorry guys, the domain name ran out, but I bought it again, and since you are reading this, it's obvious that all is back to normal. So now I have to catch up on everything. So let's see, the 14th. That's when I arrived, okay! the 14th: I woke up a 3, with only 3 hours of sleep, awesome. So I got ready and when it was time to go, I had huge issues trying to close my suitcases, I had to leave some things behind that I did not want to leave. But I had no choice. So I got to the airport and checked in. Said bye to dad and went to the gate and waited. Boarded and arrived in Atlanta 30 minutes earlier then expected, but of course we didn't have a gate to park at so that took some time, but still, earlier then imagined. Then I went to my next gate, got Sbarro, ate, and waited. Boarded that plane and had a few issues with people on the plane. Not sure what was wrong, but it stalled us leaving. But we did arrive on time, made up for it in the air. It was a bumpy flight, but not too bad, it was just because of the weather. We landed, snow on the ground, and when at the gate, they wouldn't let us out. No idea why, but they wouldn't. And by now I'm really anxious to see Nick, since he was picking me up with his dad. Finally let us off and I have to walk on the snow and I was scared I would fall since I was only in sneakers. Made it inside and there he was :D Yay! And we went to wait for my luggage. I felt lucky then. lol. After 3 flights going around, mine finally came out!! I was pretty excited, but alas!! Nick forgot to bring my poor Jimmy!! Oh, I miss Jimmy. So then we went to school, my dorm, and we dropped off my luggage. Nick and I exchanged presents, aww. He got my this Holga medium format camera thing, we'll share lol. A tank top, CD, and chapstick. lol. So sweet! Then we went to his dorm, I took a 2 hour nap and then we all got together in the suite. It was quite nice to be back. I stayed there. The 15th: I woke up and left and since it was snowing and no one was up to ruin it, I decided to take some pictures! It was so pretty out. So I walked around and took 60 ish shots. Then I came back and did some laundry and unpacked waiting for it. Once it was done, I took a shower. Then I got dressed and went out to retrieve my books at the Bookstore and at our front desk in the mail. I got 7. Yay. But I was still missing 10 or so lol. Oh well. Then I was waiting for Emily to show up. She finally did and she began to pack up :( so sad. I went to see Nick at 6, and we watched some of the Amazing Race. I came back for a floor meeting at 8. Then went back to see him, more Race, and then watched Future Weapons. Then finished the 2nd episode we had of Race and I came back here. Brr! So cold. And more snow!! I watched Emily finish up for the night and I went to sleep after 12, couldn't sleep. The 16th: I woke up at 6:30. I got dressed for Ballet. Woke up Emily, twice, lol and said bye. Aw :( :( :( I will miss her soo much!!! So now what happens is, I'll get a new roommate, but where I live on campus is not a 'hip' place to live, so I won't. After a week, I can either buy out the room at a reduced price, or request a roommate, but maybe still not get one. We'll see what happens. So I began my walk to Ballet at 7:30, in the snow, so cold. And go there before 8. I searched for the dance studio, found it, found someone in my class. Okay, in the right place, lol. And waited. This lady came up to everyone, canceled!! Due to weather. Nooo. Up so early, walked so far! Crap. So I walked back. No, I changed my meal plan first. Then walked back. I sat around, talked to Nick, went in the shower. Then I sat around more and left to find my next class. Back over near the gym, but farther. Ahh. My feet were hurting now in the boots. Oh well. Found the class, after having to walk around several building to get to it, lol. And it was Jazz History. It was pretty good. Seems like a fun class, but still a little hard. Then I stopped at the Marche to get some lunch. Walked back and ate it and did that classes homework. Then I went to my next class, Geography, this time it's on race and ethnicity. Nick took this class last year, and the same teacher. It was alright. I sat next to someone nice. And then I came back. Oh, I got 3 more books today too. Yay. 7 more to go. Now I've finished my Geog homework and so I blogged and now I plan to go to a Cynic meeting, see what it is all about. Still not sure if I want to continue to work with them anymore though. I'll see who is there. Then I'll go to the Marche, grab a slice of pizza and go see Nick to finish the Race and other episodes. Won't stay too long, because it'll be about 5 degrees outside by 10. Brrr!!! It's going to be soo cold tomorrow. High of 7. Ah! And we have like ... 9-10 inches of snow I guess. Not a foot, but getting close! 6:16PM
January 13, 2007 Okay. So my last full day in Baton Rouge was today. I did what any Baton Rougeian, that's not even a word, would do, sit in traffic. lol. No I ran about town getting gas and searching for my contact solution that I can not find anywhere! It's a little upsetting. I did go back to work, and talked to my boss and got some candy there lol. Then I came home, oh no, I got some jambalaya for some lunch, even though lunch was about 3. That's ok. So I got ready eventually with my suitcases had dinner and all and got ready and now I'm going to sleep. In a very short while. And busy day tomorrow, or well. I have to wake up very early. And I go back to my 2nd home!!! And see Nick!!! oo..... I found out very bad news today. My roommate will not be returning for the spring semester. I was afraid of this, and thought she might have stayed, but no. :( I'm very upset. She's my best girl friend there. I'll miss her soo much!! 10:29PM
January 12, 2007 Missed another day! Oh well. Yesterday I didn't sleep in because I had to wake up, well didn't sleep in as long as I would have liked lol. I had a hair cut and it went ok. Just got a trim so I'll be good to go for 2 more months. Then I got some lunch and came home. I had dinner and went over to see Jamie one last time, probably. And I brought her some food and we watched Grey's and talked and watched Jersey Girls and took down her a tree half way. Took off the ornaments. Then I came home since I had to wake up early today. I did just that and got a shot down at the doctors office. They took forever, and just for a shot. Then I went to Linens N Things, but I didn't see my boss there so I'd come back later. I went to the mall and sat inside waiting for it's stores to open up. Wanted to see if I could find one last thing for Nick. Nope, but I got some clothes lol. And some beignet's which were amazing! Then I left, but checked work again. Nothing and came home. I sat for a bit and then went out once more. I went to Target to see if they had my eye stuff, no such luck. I'll search more tomorrow and then I got Jason's Deli. I came home and ate and then took a nap. Woke up, cleaned up the comp and had dinner and now I'm talking with Nick! I'm almost going back! 11:11PM
January 10, 2007 Woo, it's been a while! So the 8th, at night I didn't have internet access. The morning of the 9th, I barely had it and wanted to blog later, but I never got to it since I had to go to sleep, so here I am! Finally. I have not gone missing. So! The 8th. Monday. Right! I woke up kind early and went to the eye doctor with my mom. It was the first tme to this guy and the place was buzzing! So many people, and for other eye doctors. We were there for a while, but it didn't seem like it took forever. So I did some info stuff and then we went to another waiting area. And waited. Then I went into a little room and did the routine eye check. I still can't see, what a change! But my left eye remains stronger. Then I got 3 sets of eye drops. I'm so bad at getting them lol. Then I became dilated and I couldn't see my hands very well. lol. Then eye pressure was done, and I jumped every time, it's okay. Big deal. Then they cleaned my contacts and we were able to leave. And I was blinded by the light, or sun, lol. And we got some LaMadeline's and it was very good. Even though I couldn't see what I was eating. Then we went to see if I could get a new leotard. No such luck really. Oh well. They are ordering one for me. Then we came home and I talked to Nick for a short time, and lost the internet. Went to work from 3 till close and came back home. Talked to him for a sec, but got disconnected, hence the no blogging. So I went to sleep and didn't have to do anything that morning, but didn't have internet till right before I left and I wanted to save it till later. And so I went to work, not busy at all like that day before and then I came home. I was tired and had o wake up early for work the next day, so I didn't stay online for long. I woke up early and went to work, for my final day, aw. From 9-5. Very busy! I was tired too. Left afterwards and picked up some dinner for me and dad, at Cane's. I ate it when I got home and then came back to the internet. Now here I am. One adventure from each day: Mon: as I was coming home, in this part of road without lights, I suddenly saw a dear in my way! But it jumped into the woods. And so the next night I was prepared for em! But wasn't there. Tues: As I was on my way to work I crossed the regular train tracks I cross everyday. The lights were flashing and I look to the right and I see the train! Not anywhere near me, but the gate went down after I crossed. I hadn't realized it until I crossed. And so I could have been stuck for quite some time then! Wed: There was a dead mouse in the coke machine. It had been stinking up the surrounding areas, and finally we had a commotion of who to get rid of it. No one wanted to touch it! lol. I was pretty funny. And finally someone did, with 3 bags between it and their hands, lol. And now that is it. 8:49PM
January 7, 2007 Went to sleep last night at 1:30 and then woke up close to 10, maybe. Then I made some pancakes, but mom took over. Then I didn't do much at all for the rest of the day. It was nice though. I talked to Nick a lot. At one point I went to Wal-Mart and then came back. I got some Domino's tonight for dinner, but it wasn't as good as Vermont's. I miss Vermont! I miss Nick. Meh. Go back in almost 6 days! Got a very busy day tomorrow! 9:49PM
January 6, 2007 Could have updated yesterday, but I just didn't get to it. Or didn't bring myself to it. You'd think it'd be twice as long, but not the case since I didn't do like anything today lol. Yesterday I went to work from 8:30-5. I got gas and came home. Then I talked to Nick for a few hours, eventually got in the shower and went over to Amber and Jamie's apartment. Only Amber was there when I got there. We talked and played with the new kittens there. Then Paige, Jamie's younger sister, came over and she brought her friend Sarah and some other people too. Rick, in their grade and Seth in the one below me. Then a new kid at their school, Sam, and his German friend that's visiting. And then they left when Jamie came home because they thought Jamie was pissed a them for being there. lol, and I encouraged that idea, so they left. Yay. So now just the girls. We stayed up til about 3 in the morning. And I crashed on the comfortable floor and woke up with a kitten in my face. It was mewing at me. lol But it was cute. Then I left them after 9 and picked up some dough nuts on the way home. They were yummy! Then I talked to Nick a lot. Eventually got into a shower. Tried on some stuff that came in the mail. Vermont Quarterly sent me the next magazine they publish. And my picture is in it! Yay! It still looks a tiny dark to me, but I really don't care because I'm excited! No photo credit directly underneath or directing it to, only just under general photography. But I'll look past it. I'm very pleased. Then I took a nap for 2 and a half hours and that was nice. Woke up. Had some dinner and went back to the computer. Scanned the pictures I took with the Zeiss Ikon because I've been meaning to do that. And now I don't know what. I feel like cleaning up my computer a bit. We'll see! I was going to go see this Pink Floyd show at the planetarium downtown, but I was too tired so I'll just go next Saturday night before I leave. 8:40PM
January 4, 2007 So today, was pretty eventful. To me anyway, but it won't make it a very long blog lol. It was rained all day, which made it a very easy day at work. Which was good, because I nearly fainted. Again. I have no idea why. My mom has an idea though. I do know it sucked. My vision was nearly gone and I couldn't walk so I went outside to sit for a bit. Had to go on my lunch to get a break and rest. Went to the bathroom just in case and then was okay and walked to the back. I had lunch and felt better. But then I had a headache and had it for the rest of the day. It sucked. I got off at 3:30 and got my fabulous check and then went to Kadair's and got my pictures. They look really great. Perfect pretty much. That camera is in really good condition. I then came home and talked to Nick a lot on the phone and had McDonalds. Took a nap as my baby prescribed lol and woke up 2 and a half hours later. But still with a headache, oh well. Talked on the internet and ate dinner and watched a tiny bit of tv. We've had such a wonderful conversation tonight! I can't wait to see him! 10:10PM
January 3, 2007 Woke up at 4 today. Got work at 6 and everyone was like, why on earth are you here?? So apparently, it was a mistake, but oh well, I helped out with clearance stuff. It was a pretty nice day too. Not too terribly busy like it has been. That's nice. I left after 3. I then went to Kadair's and dropped off the roll of film. I then came home and got online, talked to Nick, had dinner, and did more talking. I get paid tomorrow and I'm so so so excited about it! It's going to rock. 11 more days still I return to my other home!! Yay! 9:38PM
January 2, 2007 Woke up a little early ish and got ready for work. Went from 9-3. Real short day! It felt strange too. Was good the first half of the day. The rest was busy busy!! I got out of there and went to Wal-Mart for the crucials: milk, bread, multi selection bag chips. Then I went to Tropical Cafe and got some turkey and a caesar wrap. Mm. Came home, ate, and talked to Nick for the rest of the time. Went with mom to get some dinner, mine was a milkshake. I then stretched becuase I'm trying to get back into shape/business for ballet this upcoming semester. I'm still nervous about it. And now I'm going to bed early because I have a very early start tomorrow, about 4am. 9:51PM
January 1, 2007 Omg! A new year! Woooohoooo. Okay down to business. Yesterday I was too lazy and busy to make a blog. I had work 11 to 7. The store was crazy busy because a new ad came out and everyone was there. Nuts! We closed at 6 and I didn't get out till after 7. I drove home, but first stopped at McDonalds to get some dinner. After I finished I did a little on the internet and got into the shower. I was going to go out with Jamie for the night. I was finished getting ready and I waited for the call from Jamie. Finally left the house after 9:30 and went to Tommy's new place. He was in the grade above me in high school. I'd say 15-20 people were there, I only a select few, but that's alright. I hung out with Jamie for pretty much the entire evening. We celebrated and set off many fireworks. It was lots of fun. Then Carl stopped over and I hadn't seen him since May either (like Jessica earlier in the week) and that was nice. We chatted and I eventually left close to 2. I got into bed and woke up at like 10:30 or something today. I got into the shower and got half dressed today. Didn't really feel like doing anything and I didn't have to! Off from work which was nice. I talked to Nick a lot which was nice. I did go outside to try out this new (but very old ,1964) camera. I don't think the light meter works which is upsetting. But I did my test role and I'll bring it to Kadair's tomorrow after work. Well, back to doing nothing! 8:10PM
