(no subject)
WHOAAAAAAAAA. hell hath frozen over. i have not a lot to share with the greater good of the world. i very much enjoy being single and have decided that i will be for quite some time. i think it will be good for me. i've told lauren and jojo that they cannot allow me to get into a relationship in the next month and a half. we'll see if they hold up their end of the bargain. they better.
i'm off work for the next 3 weeks. they're going to italy today for 2 weeks and then we go to hilton head again right when they get back. these next couple of weeks should be fun. last night, i played tennis to kick off my "vacation." i sucked, but he didn't seem too horrifed. note to all: when hanging out with someone for the first time only days after you meet them and they're not exactly tennis-inclined, you can't judge them on that if that's what you decided you were going to do. it was very fun, he said he'd call me again next week, but i don't know. but very entertaining. i like funny people. we'll see.
tomorrow louisa gets back!!!!! sooooo excited, you have no idea. i don't know if we're gonna have a chance to see each other, but that's ok. hanging out with yen tomorrow night which will just be spectacular. it feels like it's been a while, but it hasn't been that long. we'll fix that though, so it will all be okay! then thursday i go to "sweet home marylanda" to visit two of my favorite kids. it should be a good time, i enjoy them greatly. i get back on sunday and then louisa, tess (her cousin), and i will be running all over ohio to do entertaining things. life is just grand.
oh, and here's an update on my "things-i-want-to-do-this-summer" list.
-Figure out if I want to go to law school or get my MBA. maybe i'll study that tonight.
-Do research to find what schools I'm interested in/could potentially get into. ditto
-Look into the LSAT/GMAT test and start studying for them. this might have been overzealous of me. i may wait til winter break for that one.
-Get tan. (i'm halfway there)
-Go on lots of walks in the metroparks like we did today through creeks and the woods. it needs to occur more.
-Lose 7ish pounds. (now it's 8...sweet).
-Go to Cedar Point at least once. will happen with tess and/or sam so we're good
-Go to Lakeside at least once with my GUM girls.
-Go to Geauga Lake (?). (probably not gonna happen...it's not worth it)
-Get a cabin in the mountains/forest/wilderness for a weekend with Louisa and others. (def. not gonna happen for oh so many reasons, but it would have been cool. i still think we should do it at some point while we're at school).
-Hang out with Jamie every once in a while. (i haven't freaking done this yet which really makes me mad, but maybe sometime very soon i will be able to see her beautiful face if i'm lucky!)
-Find a way of seeing Teeny/Mike/Lauren at some point. (sweet. um teeners. i love you, teleport here. k thanks). and technically, i haven't seen them yet but this says "find a way" which i indeed have done.
-Get a new pair of jeans. (about that. this needs to be done ASAP. i may very well try to do it tomorrow. i'm wearing a pair of jeans right now that has three holes. apparently that's cool and what your jeans are supposed to look like these days, but i'm just not buying it.)
-Make a couple more trips up to see Grandma Lorentzen. (um. awkward. but i made one more i think after this post before no more could be made. Bless her dear heart. -a phrase she used a lot that applies to her wonderfully.- ok, that was depressing, moving on...
-Get together with old friends (Blake, Derek, Katie, Mike, and Justin.) I have seen none of these people yet. I've talked to Derek a fair amount so that may happen. We'll see though, I'm not gonna hold my breath for any of them.
-Go to the beach every day on vacay. (N/A - as of yet)
-Find a way of meeting up with Stacy at some point during vacay. ( " ")
-Meet lots of Kappas at Convention. Good freakin' times! Yay new people who are relatively cool!
-Hang out with Nate at least once while at Convention. CHECK! wish it could have been more, but it's all good
-GET A NEW PHONE. BOO FREAKING YA!!!! I WINNNNNNNNN. ps - since i did get a new one, i probably don't have your number. so do call me or something so i will have it.
-Read lots of books (The Time Traveler's Wife, Pledged, Middlesex, others I can't think of right now.) And right now I'm working on The Corrections. This will go better soon, I promise.
-Not be so damn tired all the time. kind of. i mean, i'd still fall asleep at any point when in front of the tv, but i wake up at early hours so who knows.
-Go to the pool early and often. um. i've been there once. does that count? oops.
-Not let the boys get to me too bad because it's probably our last summer together. for the most part, this has worked. and it will probably work for the week and a half i have left in august! sweeeeeeeet.
-Going to a club at least once. (C'mon ma) this will most likely be crossed out after my trip to marylanda thanks to a mere acquaintance of mine.
-Save lots of money. considering my paychecks for June-O were MIA until yesterday, i won't cross it off yet. but tomorrow hopefully i will be saving lots of money.
-Get my Kappa crap organized. about that...
-Sign a contract with a Composite company. i should do that ASAP...
-Not let people who annoy me very easily do so. (solution? just don't talk to them!)
-Look into my abroad options and/or figure out if I'm going to go. wow. this is probably the thing on my list that is as far away from being done as possible. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
-Hang out at grandma's occasionally. Maybe clean up the beach house or something. no cleaning up the beach house, but definitely have been to grandma's a fair amount. and we're gonna go to lunch some time next week so we're set there.
-See lots of movies (both old and new) that I have yet to see. nope. one or two, but not many. i think living with michael for a couple of days may fix this though.
-Be the best student advisor at June-O that I can be. check! i did my best, and it 'twas fun
-Become good friends with the other staff members of June-O and not let all of them fade away in the fall. (that last part can't be checked off for a while, but here's hoping!)
-Eat lots of good food. (see sixth item on list). oh well, food was yummy.
-Try to remember the other stuff I wanted to do:
-I need to work on the Kappa scrapbook, but I don't have the money to buy all that crap right now so we're going to wait a bit and/or postpone it til we get back to school and utilize my wonderful committee!
-Indians games we'll be doing this when sam and tess come so that will be done.
Dog and I just went on a super long walk and I realized I was still super sore. Perhaps it's due to my excessive athleticism lately. SHWEEEEET.
Anyway, after the world's longest post, that's that.
