| Its been a while... |
[Jan. 23rd, 2006|01:09 pm] |
It has been a while...a year perhaps. So today is the first day back to school after Christmas break. I only have two classes and work which i am currently at. The residents moved back in yesterday which was ok i guess no major issues. I have a few new people on my floor. They are transfers from other schools. I came back to school on wednesday to have a short RA retraining session which basically meant all day thursday we were stuck in a room and were lectured about things like fire saftey and introduced to the new people in res life. That wasnt to bad. Friday and Saturday we were just given time to get boards and door decks done. Think about programming, put up signs, and of course check the smoke detectors. So that was ok. My board and door decks are a Valentines Day theme since they will be up until Feb. 26th. Other then that everythings ok. I really have to finish my RA reapplication which is due on the 30th. Another good thing thats happening on the 30th is an information meeting on spending July in Paris! I am soo excited I really really really want to go. The only down part is its from July 1st to July 29 which means time taken away from the family, friends, and boyfriend. Which is scary I know I will get wicked homesick. I really want to go but at the same time I am really scared of going to another country for a month during the summer where I really don't know anyone. Hopefully there will be some other people that I know interested in it. The other problem is working because I get out of school something like May 20th is when the RA's leave. So I would have from May 20th - July 1st with everyone and work well really its May 30th but whatever. Then I get back the 29th of July and prob have to go back the 15th of August for RA training. That really doesn't leave much time for work and more importantly play! I am so completely torn. I mean Paris is my dream every since I was in grammar school. I love the language and its just such a beautiful place to be with all of the monuments and museums and just its beauty. I wish I could go and bring everyone with me! That would just be awesome. While I am there I will also be taking two 3 credit classes. One is Intermediate French which will count towards my minor and the other is the Music in Paris which can be an elective. The total cost is $4,500 which includes tuition, lodging in an international student residence, private room with shower, lunch and dinner except on weekends, guided visits in paris, program related excursions and roundtrip airfare. So it is really the total package which really is not bad for staying in Paris for a month. There are also weekend trips to Mont. St. Michel, the Loire Valley, and Versailles and visits to museums and cultural sites in Paris. If I do it this way over the summer I can still take classes and keep my RA job. If I did study abroad during the year I would loose my RA job which i desperately need. So I guess its up in the air right now but I am really excited and I think its a really great opportunity - a once in a lifetime thing. I am just going to miss everyone so much. I mean I do not go home that often when at school but i usually see Eric at least once a week and if I go im not going to be able to see him or my family that I am usually only 20 minutes away from. That is what really scares me. Well that and riots/terrorist stuff being in another country or not being able to get home or something crazy like that. Its just a lot to think about. Whenever I pictured my self in Paris it was with family, Eric or friends. People that I love and would want to share this experience with.
I dont know. Its something to think about.
I will try and write again soon. |

blah blah blah blah blah just so ahhh idk feeling so so so so so so wierd. idk if im mad or sad or upset or i just dont know. i just have to write something idk i cant sleep and i have to go to work in the AM :(idk i just feel like i need to sit and think/ponder about many many things.i just feel like throwing things accross the room. i feel like there is a lot of rage inside and i am not really sure as to why. Is that bad??i just get so mad and i need to take it out on someone/something and thats not always right. I wish i could relive the past 2 or 3 days maybe then i would feel better. I feel like things are falling apart but at the same time not - i feel torn and confused and just in general strange. i just wish someone/something would come and fix the probs in my life - not that they are that major. The crap in my life is nothing compared to what other people have to deal with - i have food shelter clothing an ok job and loving people in my life ->so why the hell am in complaining??? like for example right now i am watching mtv and stories about kids that are addicted to drugs and drinking and i dont even have any of the shit in my life. so i guess its just the little things that dont really matter but at the same time have a huge impact on me. i feel like im just going to snap like if some customer gives me crap tomorrow im just going to be like get the fuck out of my store lol that would be so so so funny lol o man i would be so fired. they would just throw me right out of the store no questions asked. So where do i go from here????

A year has past and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything yet nothing being the same. In a few weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to the people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even thought it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.
Wow that really sums it up. Btw i didnt make that up i stole it from my friend Kristen who stole it from someone else. I really wanna update but i really dont even know where to begin. So yea school is almost over but before it ends i have a paper a project and of course 5 lovely finals!! Woohoo im so pumped!! But i am really only focusing on the wedding thats on the 8th. Erics cousin is getting married and we are going and i found an outfit and its gunna be fun yay. Okay thats about all the time i can spare for now but the summer is almost here and i have lots of work to look foward to as well as fun. So i cant wait.
i hope to write again sooon |

Yea so it snowed a lot last night a good 5-6 inches or so. And yes it was fun walking to my 8 o'clock class and trecking through it because no one else was awake and no one shoveled or anything so o yes lots o fun. Other then that this weekend sucked. I felt like shit all of last week so i decided i will just spend the weekend home since i had to go home saturday anyway. So Aunt Jan picked me up on Friday afternoon and I hung out with my parents all night long!! Woohooooo that was a joy. Actually it was alright i cant really complain. My dad made me drink like 7 cups of tea and then made me take this medicine that knocked me out for a few hours. But that kind of sucked because we were watching this really good movie the eraser and i really wanted to see the ending but there i layed (layed or laid o i dont know but not the dirty one) passed out on the couch (ok i feel so crappy i forgot how to spell couch or anything for that matter) and i missed it. I woke up to my dad saying wow what a great ending. Yea thanks but at least i got some sleep. So I stayed up a little longer and then it was time for the second dose of the meds and i didnt wake up till about 2 or 3 and my dad had to help me down the stairs which was not fun at all because i really couldnt see straight and the stairwell (stairwell or stairway?) is very narrow. But at any rate he got me to my bed and thought the whole thing was really funny. So I got up the next day and made my way to the meds and then the couch again. Saturday was the "February Birthdays" at my grandmas house. Its this big party to celebrate everyones birthday in February because a lot of the family for some odd reason are born in Feb. two of which are my parents. Aww Daddy turned 50 on the first and mommy turned 48 on the 12th. I must say they look good for their age lol. When I said that to my mom she gave me a smack but called it a "love tap" - but it really hurt. So to celebrate the Feb. b-days all of my grandmothers children and their spouses attend a broadway musical and this year it was wicked. Needless to say I was/am extreamly jealous. I really wanted to go. Okay so the adults went there and the grandchildren all hung out at grandmas until they came back with dinner. SO yea that was fun. Just another one of those McGrail traditions I suppose. But it was good to see everyone well just about everyone a few were missing. Then after that eric came over-yay and eric sean and i headed to blockbuster. We got anchorman and dodgeball. So the three of us watched anchorman o yes it was a night of togetherness in the McGrail household. I love house sean says he hates me but when im home follows me everywhere. Anywho that was saturday and sunday i finally caved and went to the doctor who gave me a strep test which turned out...NEGATIVE as always i told mom we were just wasting $15. Then i went back to the house and sat around and hand mommy daughter time aww. Then eric came over around 9 and drove me back to the dorm and its a good thing cuz my boots were in the back of his car which came in handy today so yay.
Now i have to go to two more classes so bye bye all. |

So Eric and I finally got what we wanted. A weekend away from everything. It was so nice just not to worry about anything and to do whatever whenever we wanted. But I really wanna go back! I have been back only 24hrs and I already miss it. So yea such a great weekend and its really mostly because denis took over erics shift on saturday. Anyway we left friday and came home on sunday. Yesterday afternoon was spent with family celebrating mommy's b-day which was on saturday. So we went out and had dinner and then back to the house for dessert. After grandma grandpa, janis, and rob left Sean showed me this awesome jacket that michael and michael (our uncles) sent to him. Its an ipod jacket. You put the ipod inside the jacket and it connects to a wire so that you can control the ipod from outside of the jacket. On the sleeve you can control the tracks and the volume so you never have to open the jacket and get it out. So its perfect for skiing snowboarding and all that good stuff. He's a lucky lucky boy lol. After that we watched some of the grammy's and eric came over again-yay and drove me back to the dorm. So yea all in all great/tiring (how do you spell that?) weekend. I was also able to get this irish flag and green bandana (how do you spell that) from this flee market we went to on sunday. Oh yea almost forgot while we were in penn. we exchanged valentine's day gifts and he got me this really really pretty really really expensive tiffany's heart necklace. I love it but i wish he didnt spend so much!! Anyway i should prob go i have class soon and some stuff to do.
bye bye all |

Okay so i find myself here again because i dont know what to do. I am slightly depressed/sad - dont feel bad for me. That is not why im writing. I just need to put it out there. So i guess you could say talking to jim is what brought me here. I told him how i felt and how i couldnt stop eating chocolate becasue of the way i feel and he told me to write. That is some damn good advice because if im typing then i cant eat. Honestly i dont even know wtf is wrong with me. I just cant get into the whole swing of things with school. I keep putting the dreaded hw off and that is really bad because i have a lot of reading that needs to be covered. That is def an issue for me. Something else is that i dont get to see eric so much. Its just that last semester really spoiled me i saw him sometimes 4 times a week. Now im lucky if i get 2 times and that isnt his fault. He just gets those late hours at work since he isnt a minor and can stay there to close. And we both know it sucks but try to make the best of it. There is just so much stress on him- school, the new job, his grandfather, and i know he is prob stressing about us too and i wish there was some way i could fix that for him. Sometimes i wish i lived home this way i had my car and could go visit him and we would be closer together. Why do things have to be so difficult?? We were just talking about this last nite. Why cant things just work out and everything be perfect or at least as close to perfection as possible. Things are just wierd and i wish i could just make everything go away and just have some time to think, rest, and be with the people i want to be with. Right now i am sort of happy. i really like just being here with my roomies and just hanging out and having a few laughs but honestly i would really like to be somewhere else with someone else doing anything or nothing. It really wouldnt matter just being there and not here would be good. Right now i feel like something is missing-like a big chunk of my life is missing. Maybe im full of it, maybe im just tired, or maybe i really am feeling this void with in myself. Not to mention this enormus headache i have had for a day and i have been so mean and moody to everyone lately. Even to eric the poor guy he really did not deserve that the other night and i through it right in his face. GOD I SUCK!! Hopefully things will get better. Tomorrow is my daddy's birthday and i will see eric tomorrow of course we will be with the familly. Isnt that fun lol. Thats the other thing when i do see him is always around family either mine or his. I mean thats ok but i would just rather run away from all of that so we could just be together and so that people would stop nagging at us and just leave us alone. Now keep in mind i am only speaking for me so i have no idea if he has any of the same feelings about this. I mean its not like i want everyone to just disappear i just want some time alone. And i know anyone who reads this is going to go hmm time alone why would they want time alone and their minds will wander. But it has absolutely nothing to do with that kind of stuff at all. If it was something like that i wouldnt write about it first of all and second of all thats not that important. i think that is all for right now. I have to talk to eric and then get some sleep i have a nice 8 o'clock class tomorrow. yay for me :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TES!!! Okay Tes' b-day is not really the subject of this post I just cannot think of anything else to put there. So this post is about a few things. First of all I am here back at school and im fine. I felt kind of wierd like slightly homesick which is really strange because i really didnt even feel that way when i first moved here in august. So school is school but i have a new roomate. Rosa moved out yay!! Alicia moved in yay!! She is really nice and on the soccer team so now my room smells like a jocks room lol as my dad would put it. So aside from the 8 o'clock class everything is good.
Ok so here is the next part. The part i dont like. Today i went to the palisades with aunt jan and mom. We went just to look around and stayed for 4-5 hours. Alrighty so i can deal with that. We then made a pit stop @ stop and shop and went to bennigans for dinner with my dad and brother. So we get there and have about a 20 or 30 min wait. We finally get our table and they send over some complimentary bread and nachos for having to wait forever. So then we waited i dont know 45-60 mins for our food. So we get the food and we are hungry and pissed off. Our dishes were good except for my dad's. It looked like someone took his piece of meat out of the freezer and stuck it in the microwave for a few mins. In other words it looked disgusting. So he sent it back and they said they would not charge us and he ordered a burger instead. Of course this took another 15-20 mins. I felt so bad for eating in front of him because he looked so hungry and he had waited so long already. So I shared my fries and cellery sticks with him. So we ate and they took his meal off the bill. After we ate aunt jan and i went to kohls to look around and kill some time before eric got off work. We bought a couple things and went home. Eric got off work around 8:45 and went home to shower and get somehting to eat. So this is all well and good and we decided to go to see phantom of the opera @ 10:30. So he gets to my house around 9:45 and had his McD's while i showed my dad facebook and tried to scan a picture into the computer. Then my dad and brother got so obsesses with the whole facebook thing that i lost track of time and we missed the fuckin movie. So this really i mean really pissed me off because we have been trying to see this movie for a few days and on top of that we have been trying to see each other for more then 1hr in a clip. Since he started working we hardly get to see each other. Anyway so we missed the movie, then my old computer would not turn on and would not save the pics i wanted onto my floppy, then i realized that i wasted my whole night with eric completely, stormed out on my parents, and was back at my dorm by 12 b/c eric has work at 8. So the entire care ride home to my dorm i cried. I dont even know where that came from. I stormed out of the house jumped into erics car and cried. I was like a freakin waterfall. Oh it was so bad and the worst part was that i just ruined everything and acted like a complete and total baby. I mean come on what the fuck is wrong with me? I am just so mad at myself and i feel so bad because of what i put everyone through. I am just a complete and total idiot. I wish i had today to do all over again i would do some many things differently. One major thing would be to not screw things up with eric. I was so stupid to do that. I shouldn't have put him through that. Once again what the fuck is wrong with me? And what do i have to look foward to... homework and eric working from 8-3 and im sure there will be something else in my fucking way tomorrow so i wont be able to see him. The first weekend back...sucked. |

Okay so I dont officially move in until sunday but since the snow im sorry "blizzard" is coming I have to move my crap in tomorrow morning this way if I can't make it to school sunday my stuff will already be there and all there will be to transport will be me and my laptop. I dont even know why I brought home so much crap. I think half the time I was wearing the same pair of jeans and my Stew's shirt(dont worry I washed them a lot!). So tonight I packed up almost everything and here I sit staring at it but something is wrong. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach like something bad is going to happen and that going back is going to be bad. I dont know why I would feel this way I mean I love Manhattan, my roomie amy is really nice, and my shit roomate left so I will be getting another one - supposedly a soccer player. So what is wrong with me? Why do I feel so unsure of myself all over again like its the beginning of school? For the most part it is still all the same people and hopefully I will meet more so shouldn't this make me feel happy? What is wrong with me? Well the only thing that I can come up with is that I just got to attached to home again and being so close to everyone again especially my family. I mean to be quite honest I really do miss them when I am at school but I would never let them know this because i dont want them to worry about me. My family is the world to me and I really do hate being apart from them. However, I think that if I commuted instead it would just cause more problems because I would never be able to get work done unless i stayed at Manhattan's library till all hours of the night and then drove home. So I dont know I mean I will def. be boarding this semester because its already paid for and of course non refundable but im not so sure about it for next year. If I am chosen to be an RA then I will def board because damn its free but if I dont become one im not sure what I will do and I cant even believe I am feeling this way!! I dont know what the hell is wrong with me... maybe its my body trying to tell me something or maybe its just PMS who knows. And the worst part is that I can't stop crying!!! I feel like my eyes are just one big waterfall flooding my face with tears. Whenever I think about school i cry! WTF is wrong with me??????!! I am just so confused, tired, and scared. I feel very alone even though im not at all. I feel so unsure and I don't know what to do :( |

Ok so im home i have been home and finals and grades turned out good. I am also working at Stews which is good. Its good money and the hours are ok so i can deal with that. Other then that a lot has been going on. There of course were the major things like Chirstmas Eve/Day, my birthday, new years and so on.
~Christmas Eve: I worked till 4:30 or so and then came back to the house got changed. Then Mom, Dad, Sean, Eric and I went to grandmas house for dinner/gifts/and to see ALL the McGrails. Everyone was there of course plus a couple extra. It was good to see everyone and my cousin myles is soo adorable he is 4 and was walking around and was everyones helper while opening gifts. Sean and I both got Ipods from Michael and Michael which was something that I wanted but never asked for because I thought it was way to expensive.Then Sue a friend of the family showed us the awesome dvd that she made of two slideshows. One slideshow was of Christmas pictures from over the years which was great i havent seen some of those pictures in years. The other slideshow was pictures of my grandparents over the years from their wedding until today. The dvd was a thankyou to my family for letting her spend Christmas with us every year. Once all the gifts were given out my cousin Jimmy proposed to his longtime girlfriend Nickie which was sweet and she said yes of course as we all watched in suspense. So yay a wedding to go to.
~Christmas Day: It was of course as always at my house and we opened gifts and stuff and i got some great gifts from "Santa". Then i went to Eric's aunt's house for a few hours and then back home for a nice dinner with the parents, sean, aunt jan, and robert. It was filled with really good food and actually some good conversation and no family fights!! Woohoo thats an acomplishment we all just really enjoyed being with each other. Eric also came to the house and we exchanged gifts. His was great and the best part was the shot glasses that he got from all of my friends schools.
~18th Birthday!: That was a fun day and I didnt even have to go to work which made it better. I had the grandparents, rob, aunt jan, eric, chris(seans friend) and arne over. Nothing big just a little something with some dinner and dessert. I got lots of great gifts. Actually the nite before eric gave me a braclet and was the first to wish me happy birthday. But my parents gave me somehting i always wanted but never actually thought i would get...diamond earrings (yes they are real). I opened the box and i almost cried i really did not expect that. And my mom wrapped it in a million other boxes that i had to get through first to get to it. So that was a very exciting day and a week or so later my new license came in the mail which was also good.
~New Years Eve: The first part was spent at Stews because I worked till close which was 7:30. A little later that night i made my way over to merrigans house for a little party. It was good to celebrate new years with some good friends. I also slept over there and i had to get up at 7!! That really sucked because i had to go to work yay for me :( I wish there was some way i could of gotten out of it. But it wasnt that bad because i was out by 3:30 or so and was able to go home to a nice meal with the family and eric.
~Other then all of that it has just been working and seeing friends which is always good. The other day almost the entrie victory crew spent a long night chatting in dunkin donuts. It started at around 9 with me and max and then it gradually built from there and it ended up being:max,me,tes,linz,sophie(who btw was not in France)and gina. We had a really good time except for the creeepy guy that tried to get us to go to his car and "smell perfume samples" yea ok how about no. Then at about 1:30 or so we all went home seperately except me and tes. We went back to her house had some fun and talked till about 6:30. Yea we talked about everything and anything which was good because we needed to talk and i miss our talks.
~Then last nite Bunky had a Western Themed party which sounds kinda strange but was actually really good and a lot of fun. We all dressed up and played cards and danced around. Yea so what we are a little strange but a lot of fun. Yea ok so now its time for bed for me because i am tired and my back hurts and i have work at 11:00 which is always fun. So its time for me to go even though i think i def left stuff out.
~I will write more soon.
ttfn - ta ta for now |

I think I live for study breaks they are just awesome. Okay so its 11:33pm on Wednesday and I have two finals tomorrow one of which is at 8:30 which def sucks some major ass. I don't even have any classes that started at 8:30. During the week I usually get up at that time!!! :( Very not cool dean very not cool. Anyway so yea this is going to be all about bitching so you can stop reading now if it is of no interest. Funniest thing everyone just ran into the computer lab to check grades lol. Thats some funny shit!! Okay so moving on I took my personal wellness final, my history final and my sociology final. Personal wellness was ok but I could of done better. History sucked ass because she said just study the wars in Korea and Vietnam that will be the essay. Well guess what kids it wasn't!!! NO no no all the essays were on the presidents so we complained to her and she was like ok name the specific action tht each president took during the wars but there was a problem with this no one studied what each president did they just studied what happened and of course the wars had to be long so it was 2 presidents per war!!! Ahhhh so not fun i never bull shitted so much in my life. Sociology final was ok not great but not shit so kind of indifferent but i got an A on my paper so that makes life all better. Okay well study break is over i have to study some more religion. I wish it was like the religion class in senior year that was soo easy. This is just wierd philosophers and shit. O yea i have a french test tomorrow from 4-6 and i am debating about studying. To study or not to study that is the question. Yea i will prob study. Okay now i really got to go but it was a nice 10 minute break!!
bye guys wish me luck!! |

-Yea so I really need to start updating more regularly. Ok so its the last day of classes and i only have one more to go which is of course history. Just sitting through that class is painful. Then after that I go home for training at Stews! So yes got a job actually got 2 but the other did not pay as good so im going with Stews. I have trainnig today from 3:30 - 10. I'm kinda nervous about it but at the same time excited and i reallly dont know what to wear. O well i will figure it out. Other then that not much has been going on.
-Eric took me out on the 6th I can't believe its been 2 years already. Wow time really does fly. We had a great time and i got some nice earings out of it lol. Very nice white gold little hoops. Thanks again eric love ya!
- So yea finals yuck! Not fun at all. But as of now all papers are in even the dreaded 20 pg sociology paper. Yea that was fine only a few (8) hours in the library. Maybe it was more i dont really know for sure. I actually already took one of my finals on Wednesday for personal wellness so thats over. I have history on tuesday, sociology on wednesday, religion and french on thursday oui oui! Its not that bad - it could be worse. So I am done by thrusday night yay and must be out of my dorm by friday night because you have to be out 24 hours after ur last exam. Ok so what are they going to to kick me out?
- This weekend i will be training and babysitting sean lol. Does the kid really need a babysitter he is 14 but i guess just in case he has any ideas like burning down the house i will be there to stop it. My parents are going into the city for saturday night so that will be a nice get away for them. They deserve it.
- Alrighty well I should get going I have class in a few minutes. And i promise to write ASAP but its not like anyone reads this anyway. So why do i care? O well talk to ya later.

Ok so its been a long time...a very long time. I actually have no idea when i wrote last but it doesnt matter. So right now its a rainy nasty saturday and yes i went outside and slipped and fell on my ass. That was funny :) and not so funny :( at the same time but hey somebody had to do it. So i will just start with last night i guess. Everyone was doing something differnt around here so Eric and I decided to start out Christmas shopping for our parents. Well first we needed to have some din din so we went to Charlie Browns in good old yonkers which is def a change for us. Then his aunt told him to tell me about this great sale in Victoria's Secret in the Westchester so of course that was our next stop after the ATM. So I went there and he looked around the mall for a while. So it was spend $50 and you get a gift with a value of $150 so thats just a good deal. So i spent $73 whoops that was not supposed to happen. Then we saw some of Eric's fam and then left because the mall was closing. So we didnt exactly get holiday shopping done or even started. Then we decided to go to that new big movie theater in White Plains and bought tickets for a 10:25 showing of The Incredibles. We had some time so we were just hanging out and watching these two kids who were doing very strange things but kept us very amused. Anyway the movie was so funny. We both loved it and agreed that we dont think we have heard an audience laugh so hard. It was so great and i def reccomend seeing it. I really want to see it again. Other then that school has been good a pain in the ass sometimes but good. I just found out i have a final on a Saturday. What ass thought of putting a final on a Saturday? Its not even in the morning its in the afternoon! But i wont think about that now. Right now all i care about is Irish night with the Gaelic Society on Monday woo hooo. Siobhan and I are going to have lots of fun and hopefully lots to drink. And the countdown is on...only 3 more days until sleeping in my own bed and taking a shower without shoes!! Anywho the rest of today is going to be at Erics radio show from 5-7 so listen to WMVL and then off to the Palisades to really really start christmas shopping!! Ok well now i have to go the the ATM machine again which is slightly depressing :( but its ok its for other people.
I will try to write again soon but if I don't have a HAPPY HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Ok say the sociology and history midterms are over!! I am soo soo happy but at the same time really tired from studying and writing papers and stuff. The weekend is just in time! I can't wait to see everyone! I am really excited and sort of wondering what is going on exactly on friday but whatever i dont really care as long as i get to see the girls. I have really missed them. I also cant wait to see the pics from sophie's sisters weeding - fun times fun times. Jumping back to the subject of midterms i am once again so so so glad they are over and i actually think i did well on them. I have a religion one a week from 2morrow but that shouldnt be bad. Religion i can handle. Lets see what else what else. O yea here is something entertaining... for my work study i do copying and shit for prof. and this week i copied something and put it in the prof. mailbox and he said it wasnt there. I was like well i didnt take it. O yes i would steal 19 copies of philosophy notes and i dont even take the class. So yea i guess thats about it. I am sure after the weekend i will have a lot to write lol.
toodles everyone! |

You gotta love the weekend it makes the whole crappy week worthwhile. Ok so the week was ok until i procastinated until i couldn't procrastinate anymore. So i waited until thursday nite to write my religion paper due friday. So yea i was up to about 2 or so because in the middle of writting it i had to stop, completely loose my train of thought, and watch the debate for my history class. i have to admit it did make me laugh. So friday nite i went to this bar called howel at the moon. i know it sounds wierd but it was a lot of fun with a lot of people. Good times for all and pretty cheap drinks. We got there around 10 and stayed till about 1:30 or so. Then saturday i got up did some studying, went to brunch, hung out with anne, watched some tv, and went to get dinner and see ladder 49 with eric. Ladder 49 was sooo good i love it. I laughed and i cried but it was great. I really want to see it again soon. Today anne siobhan and i were supposed to go to the city to go shopping but decided we all had midterms to study for instead. So we did the "smart" thing and studied. I have two midterms on thursday - sociology and U.S. history after 1876. It is really gunna suck because i only have 10 mins in between them. Really not fun. Tonight eric and i are going to celebrate his last night before having braces. So we are going to go and get some pizza since he prob won't be able to eat that right after getting the braces on. Alrighty well that is all for now i will write more a.s.a.p.
toodles everyone!! |

OK sooooo I had a really good weekend. The week finally ended with my history paper that i think i did really good on. I hope so anyway it was 20% of my grade. The week went by kind of fast and then led to a really good weekend. Friday night i went to the city with Anne and Shiobhan and we went to the San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy. It was a lot of fun, a lot of food, a lot of games, and a lot of drinking. They didn't id so it was a good time for all. We had a great night until it came to getting home because the subways were all screwed up so the N train took forever to come and then when we stopped at 42nd st. to transfer to the 1 that also took forever. But we made the best of it and just fooled around in the subway station and talked with every other manhattan student that was there cuz we were all waiting together. Then on Saturday Eric and I went to the Renaissance Fair for the day which was fun and full of boobs which would only make sense if you were there cuz everyone was dressed up in renaissance clothing and werent wearing bra's only corsetts which didnt really do that much and it was like boobs r' us. But it was fun and i actually got in for free because some guy gave us a free ticket cuz "we look like a nice couple" so that was really cool seeing as the tickets were $20 each. Once we got in there we saw a knife throwing show, part of some other show, and an acrobatic show. They were all good and then we went to this show of weapons and the funny scottish guy explained all the tourtcher (totally spelt that wrong) devices. Then that night we went to aunt pat's for din din and then hung out in the dorm with er. Then Sunday i slept in and did some work and hung out with anne and shiobhan and then had dinner at uncle bobby's. Then came back did some more hw hung out in the dorm and went to sleep finally. Today was easy i just had work and the saw aunt jan and then had sociology and french. Other then that nothing is really going on and im tired but im going to go to anne's room and watch some WB and hang. So i will write again soon hopefully oooo and btw everyone read erics new lyrics on his lj its imeric5. They are really good. Alrigty well toodles for now. |
