How the heck have you been? :)
It has been one heck of a long time since I have had the chance to update. Many times I wanted to, but I always got distracted and never ended up updating. I remember the last time I was seriously going to sit down was at the beginning of Summer 2. My friend Kristen (K-Money) told me that I tend to not write enough about the happy things going on, so I was going to write then when I was feeling happy about how the summer was shaping up. I usually seriously sit down when I have something on my mind and feeling kinda contemplative. Happens to be the case right now, but I will try and update the best I can on the good things...I don't want to forget those. ;)
My roommates for Summer 2 are pretty nice. We don't really hang out much, but we talk a little bit, which is always nice. I get a little annoyed when they get a little loud sometimes and play music loud when I am clearly trying to watch TV, but it's not that huge a deal. The summester is almost over anyway and it is going well. Overall, I like them.
The summester being almost over has been stressing me out. I have had such summer fever this term and been kinda relax-slacking on work (all the long term things) and it is catching up to me in a very big way. When it comes to my projects, I have been in a full semester mind-frame. Only 3 weeks went by, so I think I have all this time left...but with 7 week summesters, once 3 weeks has gone by, all you have is 3 weeks left before finals week. Once I realized that, I started to stress. I have an Organizational Behavior project where we are building a record label (and after our meeting and hopefully after Friday we will be sitting in better shape) and I have a Recording 2 project. Carline and Joe are coming up to help me (and maybe Sophie). I decided to record an acoustic version of "Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down. Carline is going to play guitar, Joe is going to play bass, I will play congas and bongos, Sophie will play piano if she can come, and I am trying to find a vocalist (if anyone knows one, please let me know). I figured I would shoot Sean a call and hopefully he'll be into it. I guess you can say I have chilled out a bit with my projects as I see them starting to take a little shape. I'm still counting the days 'til the end of the summester, though.
My jobs have been going well. I absolutely love getting $14 an hour for orientation. Althea and Bobbie are very cool to work with and I love being able to buy things. It's nice to see my account over $200 and from one check nonetheless. Hopefully I can keep working for Blackman during the Fall and Spring and as long as I can. Chalk one up for Heather for recommending me for the job. :)
I have started to play poker about once a week with some friends. I play with my friends Matteo and Samantha and whoever else comes that day. It is so much fun. I am actually up, after yesterday, $18.50. I have been winning (and even caught a 4 of a kind the other day). I ended up losing $10 yesterday, but I felt the game was a little weirdly played. I like having something to do other than work and class and sitting in front of the TV...and like Sam said, "It costs the same, if not less, than a movie or something and a lot more fun." I might not be able to play in the next few weeks because I have to concentrate on these projects, but hopefully we will keep this going in the Fall, in which case I am definitely there. I plan to get a bike for next year so I can travel easily around campus. My apartment is about 20 minutes from class. I have my mixed feelings about the apartment and living off campus, but I have also seen the good in it so I am getting more and more excited as I start to really think about how I am going to set up my own room and our living room and stuff.
So last weekend was very awesome. I not only finally got to go golfing, but got to play with Carline and Michele Holzinger! I have mentioned Michele before; she is a friend of mine that I played golf against in high school. I'm not even sure we played a lot, maybe once. She played for Mercy, and their team was always so friendly towards me and Carline. It was awesome; they were all so cool. I remember playing with Michele and having an awesome time, so I found her on Facebook and after about 4 years, we finally got to hang out again and golf. It was SO much fun!! I actually hit the ball pretty decently, which was exciting for me considering the way I had been playing. Michele ended up medaling with a 54 (I shot a 55 and Carline shot a 63). I was medaling for most of the round, but I ended up taking an 8 on the final hole....a par 3. :/ I lost two balls that round too. But I had a blast! I would love to definitely hang out with her again cause she's definitely awesome to hang out with. :)
Other than all of that, there really isn't much to write home about. As I said before, I tend to get up the energy to write an entry when I'm feeling weird or insecure or something, but for the most part I have been okay. I haven't seen much of Kyle and Eric lately and Talia I've seen only for a second when she comes to visit Kyle, so that sucks I don't get to hang out with them more. We've all been so busy. We're planning to go camping sometime in August, but everyone's schedules are getting filled, so hopefully it will eventually work out. I also haven't seen or talked to Rosemary much, which sucks. I miss her. I saw her when I went home for her graduation party (I felt bad I couldn't get her Red Sox tickets like I wanted to) and when I went home last weekend. I'm kinda in a funk today, I guess when I start to think about how I haven't seen people much. I get into these funks when I also think about how I don't have a boyfriend. I get this way when I start to realize how lonely I feel sometimes. I think it may even be a depression type of thing (not diagnosing myself, but it could be). I've been thinking about going to talk to someone about all the things I have on my mind (feeling depressed sometimes and dealing with things and that kind of stuff). We'll see, though...I don't seem to be moving too quickly to find a therapist, though it might not be a bad idea. I don't know.
Anyway, I kinda lost track of time and realized it's getting late, so I should head to bed. I have class and NU Calling tomorrow. I should get started on those work reflections for Organizational Behavior too just so that assignment doesn't come back to stress me out more than it needs to later. Hope everyone is well. :)
