most pointless entry ever...
So most people are talking about how summer is over, but for me, there's still a solid 2 1/2 weeks left (up until now when I just checked I thought I had 3 which is kinda sad, but thats ok!) Not to mention I have my trip to Canada in 2 days, which I'm super excited about!
But, up until now, my summer could not have been better! I had an AMAZING job, which although was the ultimate demise for Louie, probably could not have been a better job for me. I now realize how those 2 Bio classes I need to retake relate to my life...even if I only need to learn the 4th grade version, it's still important to learn.
Besides my amazing job, which gave me most evenings and all weekends off, I met some fabulous people through mandy, and reconnected with some old friends I knew when I worked at S&S. I think I enjoyed meeting new people most this summer, although that's usually the highlight of any experience for me. I worked with and got to know Max, Nathan, Banning, and Kaitlin down in Westport, and Travon, Jenna, Meagan and Sam up here. Not to mention the most recent of weekends which topped off the whole summer, which included Josh's party and the absolutely amazing-could have never been better OAR concert!
In addition, I hung out and had good times with some people I didn't think I would really stay friends with, nevermind have GOOD times with. When I think of this summer I think of being outside A LOT, reading books, summer parties, and concerts, and new and old friends. Like I said earlier, I couldn't have had a better summer.....and I'm hoping Montreal will just put it through the roof.
On another note, I can't believe I head back up to school in 2 1/2 weeks. Part of me is dreading the impossible workload, but the other part of me feels refreshed and is ready with the "bring it on" mantra. I'm trying to secure an afternoon baby-sitting job from 2:45-6 on the afternoons I have no class, as well as a morning job from 6:30-8:30. Not only would this keep me away from Dangelos, but my day would end at 6 3 nights a week, I'd have weekends off (which is especially important in the fall semester with the abnormally large amount of couples getting married in the upcoming months) as well as get paid under the table!!!!! Yay to beating the system once again. NOT to mention that I will most likely get paid between $10-13/hr, compared to my meager $7.25/hr (not inc. taxes) at Dangelos.
It sounds sweet, but it still won't cover all of my bills, esp thanks to my fin aid being decreased a tiny amount. But i've decided I'm not going to worry about that. UNE is the most lax school I know in terms of paying tuition in a timely manner....and I can always find SOMEONE to borrow the money from when May comes...lol
One question to leave you with: Why is it you feel so good buying a new item(s) whether it's clothes, or an accessory or even a piece of technology??? Even when you can't afford it, you still feel so good, and even accomplished after you bought it....Ohhh thank you consumer society...
