As much as I hated working this summer and just wanted my summer to end. It seems sudden that in 36 hours I'll have my stuff moved in down at school. It's not like I actually have anything to do here though. This week I've mostly spent packing. I've made myself get out of the house to stop from going crazy and packing everything in the world. There are people I've wanted to see this summer, but haven't (little jen, sarah warren, etc); they should come visit me at school, because St. Mary's is absolutely beautiful. It'll be weird to adjust back to school life. All of a sudden I'll be seeing people who I haven't seen all summer (except for Tom who I saw in Target on Tuesday and Suzanne and Tabitha who I visited [and all those people I saw on the 4th etc]). I've hardly even talked to Heather, so the two of us will have a lot to catch up on. In a way I am more nervous about move in this year than I was my first year. I guess now I have more expectations. Last year was full of unknowns, this year they are knowns but at the moment more unfamiliar.
I'm still pretty excited. I keep having all these dreams about moving in and college life. I even have the disaster class dreams. You can tell how I am solely focused on school related stuff.

Wednesday I saw Garden State with Helena, Dan, and Steve. It was a pretty alright movie. I'm becoming less of a critic these days. I think it has to do with watching the Olympics. I know that sounds a little bit random. I just watch all these amazing athletes and think, wow I couldn't do that, I think they all should win. Like so what if after their vault they took a step...I think what they did in the air was amazing enough. Sure, I can still recognize that the Beastie Boys song "check it out" is completely awful and that they should not have ever made it, especially not put it on the radio. I guess it goes to show if you are a big enough name, you can put anything on the radio and get air time, even if it is an entire piece of shit. Still, I would not be capable of making said piece of shit, and I am glad because I wouldn't want such an awful song on my resume. Look at me digress. I swear it made sense to me.
Back to Garden State, I really liked Natalie Portman's character. Sure, she was annoying as hell, but she had that zaz to her that just makes you smile. I am big on the smiling.

Went to the doctor's today - turns out I need more calcium in my diet. So I am going to buy those viactive things. Bryon's mom let me try the orange cream ones and they were pretty damn good. I also got a prescription for Diflucan. I've been thinking I might have the yeast (oh Helena, we are so afflicted) and I told my doctor this...she did not hesitate the write me a presciption.

Today I had a blue rasperry slurpee that tasted more like bubble gum or cotton candy. I was severely disappointed. Blue raspberry is the perfect flavor, it should not be allowed to be fucked with.

My dad has managed to fix the van. It is good...the squealing made it sound like a big P.O.S (now it only looks like one). So yeh, hopefully nothing will go wrong with it on the way down to school. Also let's pray for Gina's beasty mobile, the 96 Saturn as well. Last year the alternator decided it was kaputs-villed, and I'd like my car to not have a repeat performance of hatred.

So, I am mad. I had a coupon for my favorite brand of tampons (playtex gentle glide if you wanted to know), but I forgot to use it when I bought them today. Wow, do I suck.

I like how at the beginning of this post I was all serious, and now I am back to my fragmented self. Oh the joy.
PS: St. Mary's people - I want to start taking evening walks around campus. I am severely out of shape and this needs to change...aka I need more exercise so I don't gain another 15 pounds this year!
