oh hey, life! why u so busy? Since I've been back from spring break I've started as manager of my own store, which means 6am to 4pm monday - friday, 50 hours a week. ick. the long days aren't so bad, it's the 5:15 wakeup that is killing me, and the 20 mins of biking everyday (I have to be there before the shuttle runs, meh ( Read more... )

So, interesting start to the year already. The really great news is that I had that meeting with the owners of my subway store and they want me to be a store manager, so that's happening like...Tuesday. Like Damn. 50 hours of work a week. Trying to get myself ready for it, hoping I can handle it and finish my thesis. I had a meeting with my thesis ( Read more... )

in attempts of a real life journal entry, and in procrastination of any real fiction writing for my thesis, I wrote a creative nonfiction piece about the drama and men that are in my life right now. It's a soap opera up in here and I am forever alone and single and I did what I only could: write passively aggressively about it. (Oh also: I sort of ( Read more... )

So, currently back at home for a three week break before fall starts. Moved out of my summer apt. Moving into a new place (with hopefully fantastic roommates) on the 20th. It's been quite a summer. I was just thinking back on it the other day, all the mania. Oh, so my engaged friend Ryan? Was over until 6am the night before I moved, sorta fooled ( Read more... )

• wrote up a draft for a proposal for an independent study
• emailed director to get study approved
• printed out and turned in my final copy of my thesis proposal
• turned in a "restricted registration" form for my fall thesis hours
• finalized my application for the professional writing certificate

you know, thinking about "real life" posts is just like, too much. THIS SUMMER, I SWEAR. The insanity! Just know that I had a fabulous 25th birthday - three separate celebrations: 1) with the coworkers, taking birthday shots and drinking games and looking hot and giggling. It was wonderful. 2) small birthday potluck on the day of, with about six ( Read more... )

ah, I finally don't feel like death is imminent. I feel like I've been sick for the entire month of May. Which is almost true - fever, then nausea, then two weeks of the worst sore throat I've ever had. It was hell. And, I had to have all that while moving back into my Orlando apt. It definitely put a damper on things. But, now that I'm here and ( Read more... )

LOLS, BRENDON. So, I didn't want to "talk" about Vices and Virtues until I officially had the copy and read lyrics and such. Initially I was sort of letdown that it wasn't as grand as the first two albums, but I've still had it on repeat the last two weeks, and I'm not sick of it. The musicality is good. The signing is good. Lyrics are meh, but ( Read more... )

So, back in Orlando. Moving in was a bitch - 4th floor up, in the rain, on 3 hours of sleep. Not good. The night before, Jenna and the regular crew and I went out to Tampa. We had a good time, taking $2 shots and playing darts and I apparently dancing with a strange man. I was good though, promise. Not too terribly hungover the next morning for the ( Read more... )
