another long one to make up for my lack of short ones...
21st-italian midterm. was convinced i bombed, walked home and bought myself a gelati from the rita's that opened up at 15th and spruce, it was nice to treat myself to a little something, ive been budgeting myself quite tightly recently.
22nd-was supposed to have becky and megan over to hang out, see the apartment and just catch up, so spent most of the day cleaning, to find out at 5 o'clock that becky had to work and i was being bailed on. was home for the first time on a friday night all month, felt a little lonely. ordered chinese and did round 2 with hbp.
23rd-tried to go to silkscreen, no monitor. had lunch with the fam, shopping with lila and got a pretty necklace, went to dinner with kevin and then to marc's party, they sounded great but we didnt really have the best time, went and spent the night at kevins.
24th-went to silkscreen lab until i couldnt stand up anymore, didnt finish the project, came home and passed out.
26th-after italian met up with kevin, sat in love park for a while, then walked around a while, then sat in rittenhouse square for a while, then came back to my apartment, was crazy hot, definately almost passed out.
27th-still ridiculously hot was woken up by jackhammer, was miserable. went to performance only because we had to work on a group project, didnt stay on campus for silkscreen because ive decided i really dont like the class at all. went to my parents house for air conditioning and attention.
28th-lunch with meg, terrible modern design midterm, home to nap, decided between getting off the shuttle and walking into class that i was going to leave italian early and go get a haircut, got my midterm back and did ten billion times better on it than i thought i did, skipped out a half an hour early, went and got on the train to jenkintown, met my aunt, listened to jason mraz live on the radio while killing time, haircut, its a little short but ok, decided to spend the night out there instead of getting into the city after 11 and still having to walk home.
and that brings us up to this weekend. friday wasnt really exciting at all. i didnt do anything all morning by 4:30ish when kevin came home from work i was quite bored and he suggested we hang out for a little before he went off to a concert, so we did. sat in washington square for a change, it was gorgeous outside, nowhere near as nasty hot as it had been. bought myself dinner on my walk home, watched tv, nothing exciting really.
and then there was saturday. got up early and went to get on the train to warminster. big mess with lila, spent almost the entire train ride on the phone, i bet people loved me, lol. got to warminster and the three of us, not four like it was supposed to be :( set off for slipper. drive up was nice, faster than we expected, got to camp at about 11:30. it was so strange being up there. i mean, camp was home, but i felt like i didnt belong there anymore, which hurt. saw a a bunch of people i love and missed, but there were so many people there i didnt know, everyone looks at you to see if they know who you are, not all of my campers remembered me, i felt so old, they were so little when i had them and now some were waitresses...got to see cheryl and talk to her which made me happy, she was the main reason i wanted to go up yesterday. every other aspect of my being there made me feel strangely uncomfortable. i feel guilty that i dont miss it as much. i miss being there, yes, but i dont miss working there at all. i wish i had stayed for certain things. i never got to be an olympic captain, i never got the power bed, i missed subtle changes that seemed so big now. but i definately think ive grown up a lot. im not sure i would be happy if i was still there. i dont mean to make this sound like im ungrateful of all the time i spent there, because truly i couldnt have grown up without the experiences i had there, and i do love it with all of my heart. left camp sometime after 4, stopped in doylestown for dinner, went back to manda's to check the train schedule. could have gotten on a 7:40 but decided to stick around and chat with manda for a while and get on an 8:40 instead. getting to spend lots of time with amanda, something unique to camp, i miss tons. lila called me while i was on the train, we chatted and then im looking at people getting on at jenkintown while im talking to her and all of a sudden i cock my head and say to lila 'mom just got on my train, i'll call you later.' she's right in front of me and i have to cough before she notices me, but as soon as she sees me she laughs and says i have to call your aunt and your father...im telling you i run into people e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. she got off at market east, and i stayed on til suburban.
kevin came over, he had spent the day moving...not far, they were moving to a smaller apartment in the same apartment complex, from the south building to the east building. he stayed here for a couple hours then we went over to the new apartment, hung out with him and his roomates, went to bed late. he's sharing a room now. we were woken up early this morning, but it was ok. spent the morning/early afternoon with him and his roomates, it feels weird being the only girl hanging out with a bunch of boys. anyway, came home. was supposed to go to the silkscreen lab to try and finish the stupid project again, took a power nap, woke up and the side of my face felt like it was paralyzed, allergies...i only have meds that make me sleepy so i refused to take any, decided fuck it and put on the phillies game and went back to sleep. it was 0-0 and i passed out within one at bat, opened my eye for a minute later on and the rockies had 9, i decided that wasnt good and closed it again. eventually woke up and my eye was swollen and tearing and my nose was all stuffed, i felt like i was dying. made ramen for dinner, watched tv, colored...it was homework! eventually put on l'auberge espagnole which made me happy. and now im rambling... ive been typing for a bit now. it takes so much longer to do posts when i do long recaps like this, but it is quite mind clearing. i dont have the time or energy to post every day. anyway. here you go, im done.
