First off, I would like wish the best sister and my awesome grandma the biggest happy birthday imaginable. I think the three of us can agree that this definitely goes down in the books as one of the worst birthdays ever. It sucks, because you're supposed to be enjoying the day, and relaxing, and hanging out with friends and family on your birthday. But you know, stuff happens and you just have to roll with the punches.
I hate to say this, because I know it's my 20th birthday and I should want it to last for as long as possible, but I seriously can't wait for this day to be over. It didn't even start out well. I had set my alarm early but had decided around the third time of it going off that I didn't care if I slept through the entire day, so I shut it off....only to be woken up by loud voices and vacuums from the maintenance guys that were freakin' in my living room. I just opened the door and looked at them all and they kinda realized now wasn't a good time because I was still there, and they bolted. I didn't even have to say anything. So, by then I was up and couldn't go back to sleep, which sucked because in sleeping, I didn't have to deal with anything. I could just lay there and do nothing, but being up meant I had to deal with shit all over again. Today, I had a 3:30p marketing final, I had to arrange to get an extension so I could move at my own convenience, and I'm, for some reason, stressing about this whole Nanny thing. It sounds like some people in my family are being very difficult about this whole thing, so it could be running a lot smoother than it has been. No one is really filling me in on the whole story there, though Carline has tried, which I appreciate. The whole thing, I guess by some Jewish code or something, has to be rushed as it is. Carline said they had rabbis looking into the appropriate way to do all of this, and I guess she has to be buried as soon as possible. My new plan is that I am going to worry about moving out and into my new dorm tonight and just drive home as early as possible tomorrow morning. The minute I get home, we're going straight to NY. Yeah, it is as rough as it sounds. :/
I took my marketing final just now, and seriously wasn't into it at all. I definitely BSed the entire thing, just like my last final. I honestly don't care anymore. I have been done with summer since it started. It's all so much at once and I'm just done caring. I need a vacation like you can't even imagine. The final actually sucked, but whatever, it's over. I'm going to now move down the to-do list and start packing and start moving. Talia and Joe are coming up to help me and watch the Olympics with me. Kris offered last night (I finally got to talk to her, it was great, I miss her so much, I really wish she was living with us this year), but I'm not going to make her come all the way out here, though I definitely appreciate her offer. But Joe and Talia are coming up, which is cool because it'll be nice to hang out with some people...being alone on your birthday really kinda sucks, to be honest (although that has seriously been the last thing on my mind right now).
The only thing that has been able to put a smile on my face today is all the Happy Birthday wishes I have received today. I was very flattered that people remembered. I was very excited that Liz remembered. That put a huge smile on my face...I'm definitely glad to be back in Boston, but you know, I do miss NY. People seem to think I hate NY because I was so depressed while I was there, but that's far from the truth. I was just lonely, but I definitely miss all the people at Universal, being at Universal, the people at Invasion Group, and I definitely miss Ashley, Greg, and mostly Liz. I definitely hope Liz and I keep in touch, cause she's one cool kid. :)
But I really appreciate all the birthday wishes I got. It's the one thing that has made this birthday worth even talking about, so I thank all of you for being able to make me crack a little smile on such an awful day. I hope everyone is having a better day than I am.
