Finals suck.
One huge difference between Goucher and Fairfield is that when finals arrive at Goucher, they seem to be more social or rambuncious and seem to use being social as a procrastination tool. Here, it feels as though everyone becomes a hermit. Literally, I had to go out of my way to see only one person today, and everyone is so hung up people don't even want to go to dinner. Now, I don't take school lightly, but even I am not that bad.
Hopefully I'll see some folk soon?

Dogma. It's witty, slightly crude, and takes some of the myth out of the somewhat mythological seeming idea of religion. Plus, who DOESN'T love Chris Rock, Alyannis Morsette, Jay and Silent Bob and ALAN RICKMAN all in ONE movie? Jeeze.

First all nighter of the year. Purly an all nighter because I'm a lazy ass sometimes.
I'm going home tomorrow to hopefully get my leg fixed. That would be nice.
This weekend was ridiculous, but I've made new friends.
Hugs.

So I think I'm making friends. The girl I met at the gym, Amber, kind of adopted me and I have been meeting all of her friends and whatnot. They all seem really nice and all seem to have very unique personalities and styles, which I love.
I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon on the phone though, and heard some disturbing news about my canadian back at Goucher. It seems that he has turned into kind of a tool, including possibly breaking up a relationship by hooking up with a girl--- who has a bf. THAT is a No-No. I talked to him about but I have the feeling he just kind of brushed me off.
So this weekend was good with Amber and all them, and tonight there's some sort of dance thing, so I'm looking forward to that. Though I might be late; I think I may actually do the church thing today. Seeing as my sister named me Godmother of my niece Elyse, I ought to actually go to church during the school year, right?
Also, for a catholic school there are lots of liberals so I'm rather happy about that :)
On a lower note, still no laptop. lappy is still ill. So I haven't talked to folk I usually aim with. Sad story. Hopefully Tuesday :)

So, I'm at Fairfield U. Right now I feel like it's saying FU and flippin me a bird.
The classes are fantastic, the professors are wonderful, and the campus is beautiful. But....
and yes, there is always a but...
I'm ridiculously lonely. Like I've met a few people from class and I met this one girl at the gym, but it's nowhere where I can randomly call someone up to just chill on the quad or whatever. At least not yet, I need to give it more time. But I'm impatient and it's frustrating. Literally, after I had lunch with a couple classmates today and we parted ways, from 12 until now I've either been at the library working/fooling on the computer or sitting out on the lawn reading. It's nice to have quiet, but I'm going a little crazy. I feel like my vocal cords would have died by now if I didn't have friends else where I could call. I know it's going to end up all right but at the moment I'd like to crawl into a hole and sleep.
On the plus side, the people I have met are really nice. Benet is talkative and seems to know everyone. Chris is super intelligent and wants to have a sit-down with me (whatever that is?), but they are both seniors and prolly have better things to do than entertain a lowly transfer. I might text Amber to hang out at some point this weekend if I get the nerve. I knew this would happen so I'm mentally prepared but I didn't realize what a loner I could be.
Ah well. I guess that's what happens when you put academics over people
I would like a hug >.<
oh, ps, see 500 Days of Summer. So good it made me angry. If you know anything about me you'll figure it out.

I've packed most of my non-clothes things, getting into a new book (finally finished Pride and Prejudice! Huzzah!).
anyway.
Two days later and I still have no idea what I'm doing. I haven't been this frustrated with myself in awhile.
It's kind of a blessing and a curse I haven't seen much of biffle then she went off to school. It allowed me to reconnect with a couple people who really shaped who I am. After hanging with them the other day, I feel as though I can finally say that going away from everyone for this past year did kind of change me. I hadn't really seen the change until recently, but now all of this later summer makes sense. I am growing away from biffle but I am regaining some people I thought had walked out of my life forever.
I'm still a little bit in shock but I'm happy this saturday happened. Four years later and I feel like this has all come full circle.

Dear Abi and India,
If you read this you know I'm leaving for CT in 8 days and I won't be rejoining you in MD. I'm a lot more nervous than I thought I'd be at this point, and just wanted to let you guys know that the two of you really helped me greatly this past year. I've realized I would not nearly be as boisterous and happy if you two ladies hadn't entered my life, and I hope you have a great year. I'm tackling you both when I come visit during the fall. Abi, TALK TO BOYS THEY WON'T BITE YOU. Especially boy. And try to change the world this year, k? :P India, be nice to John and keep Jen and Kayla in line. And kill major zombies. Outlive the Fab Four or whatever they call their little pod of manliness. I HAVE FAITH YOU CAN KEEP THE HUMANS ALIVE. Unless you want to be a zombie, of course. Much love and noms, Alicia

I. WANT. SUNSHINE. I love the rain, but srsly? All Month Long? Into July? Stop please!
Also, tomorrow is there fourth. North Korea may be aiming missles at Hawaii, but all anyone can do is talk about the death of ol' MJ. Love his music, but it's time to move on...
I've also decided either A) I need more straight guyfriends or B) I need a bf that I can obnoxiously talk about to combat when my gay guyfriends get together and talk about all the head you can get at Mirrabar or who would make a better top or bottom. Or C) get my best friend to finally come back from Spain...which she will in 2 weeks and 2 days! AHHH. I miss her so much.
In other news, I think my Goucher friends *cough abi and india this is at you* need to come visit me ASAP so I can take ya 'll to the BEST sushi place in Boston.

I usually need silence, but sometimes I need soft music. Also, when studying for exams, I have this weird habit of looping John Mayer's Split Screen Sadness over and over again. It puts me into an academic trance I suppose. Years from now they'll discover that song had the subliminal message of "study! study!" embedded into the harmony.

Finished Cat's Cradle, it was EPIC. I loved the ending so much; i hate it when the ending is set in stone.
Went to Worcester to visit my friend in his new-ish apartment and met his cat who IS THE CUTEST KITTY EVER. I swear if I ever get a kitty I want one like Smoki. One of our mutual friends was there too. We basically played videogames and talked the whole time. Rather, they played, and I watched because I'm an epic fail at videogames. It sounds boring but it was nice and relaxing. lazy days = love.
Start my job on thursday now. Still psyched. I'm going to be a monkey bitch but hey money is money.
Talked to Abi for like an hour, it was great to catch up with her. If I can leave work at like 12 on friday, I can go camping with her! :D So pumped. I know she has two puppies and I can't wait to meet them. I talked to one of them, Gracie, on the phone tonight. She actually understands the concept of phones, which apparently is strange for a dog. I personally think it's extremely adorable.
I need a pet. lol.

As per suggestion of a friend, I have started reading Vonnegut. I am currently half-way through Cat's Cradle, and I am starting Slaughterhouse Five (the book actually suggested to me) hopefully tomorrow. He's an intense writer, lots symbolism but I'm grasping him fairly easily so that's good. Really starting to miss biffle in spain, as most of my friends have found jobs now. But I start wednesday so i'll be busy then. (yay?)
Hung out in cumberland last night and went to buy these books and baked cookies. I had forgotten what joy a tube of cookie dough can bring.
It's been an odd week.

You know, I was quite petrified about this summer; i didn't know if i was actually going to hang out with my high school friends and it not be awkward but i was wrong. i love them, i missed them, and they make me happy :)
On another note, my cousin's wedding is in august and i'm a bridesmaid. I'm psyched. :D

Stay Gone- Get Up Kids |

This weekend has pretty much rocked. Friday, Matt, Ryan G. and I went to Waterfire and it was awesome. We may or may not have harassed the people dressed up as living statues, but hey that's what they are there for. There was one dressed as a Sea Nymph or something and I want to be her. She had a purple face and green hair and this ridiculous outfit, but holy cow she was BEAUTIFUL.
Saturday was very relaxing, and then I went to visit my sister and her husband and daughter in Quincy. Elyse has grown an inch already! I'm so in love with her :) .
Today I finally caved and got skype, but it was good because I was able to talk to biffle (Steph) for an hour and a half. And I swear to god, i might not believe in romantic soulmates, but she's my sister soulmate. We are having the exact same family and boy issues and she's all the way across the atlantic. Talking to her kind of made my week. Basically, i didn't realize how much i missed her/ needed her until I talked to her. Now I just need a webcam so i can video chat with her and it'll be like she never left :D
Then I saw UP with some guys I went to high school with. And OMG IT WAS FABULOUS. I would see it like 5 more times. I haven't laughed that much in awhile.
OH AND I MIGHT HAVE A JOB. ...at my mom's rehab hospital. lol.
I think I'm going to use AIM less too now that I have skype. I much prefer calls to text/ IM's anyway.

Still in Quincy, but I get to leave tomorrow. As much as I love Merlin dearly, I am getting sick of sleeping on her couch and living on apples and goldfish. And Merlin has a tick on his face. Ick. Gotta take care of that
Actually, weird revelation, I'm looking forward to UP coming out. I finally saw one of the previews for it today and it looks beyond adorable. And the last movie I saw in 3D was probably something in IMAX at the Boston Museum of Science, so it's long overdue that I see another.
Other than that, life has been good. Boring, but nothing to complain about. Just want to go home.

Elyse Marie, 8lbs 7oz, 21 inches. YAY Em and Adam! :D :D :D :D :D :D !!!
I'm far too excited. She's so cute! I've been confined to my sister's apartment dog-sitting though, so I only saw her for a little bit last night. Merlin, my sister and her husband's dog, and I have been bonding. He's starting to follow me around like a three year old. He even tried to follow me into the shower this morning. I tried to explain to him that his mommy and daddy are coming home soon with a new bundle of joy but he just cocks his head and looks confused. I'm not too sure what to do about the lack of comprehension, but he'll know soon enough. Hopefully I can go home soon though, my sister forgot to put human food in the house and I'm running out of money for take out. oops.
