(no subject)
It hasn't been the greatest week. I'm just not myself. I feel like I go through this every summer - some self-pity, bitterness, and overall irritability. I think it has a LOT to do with the transition from having no time to spare besides sleep and study to scraping for something to do without being forced to do housework. I've had to do my fair share of housework, but the good news is that I think the worst is over. I'm just glad that this week of doom and gloom hit me early on in the summer. I'm ready to move on.
Good things that have happened?
The most shallow of them all is this makeup class I randomly was invited to at Neiman Marcus for the Bobbi Brown line. I actually learned some good tips, and ended up spending a whopping amount on some awe-inspiring facial moisturizer. Whoohoo! The experience taught me that if you have money, spend it at Neiman Marcus. Unfortunately, I'm broke, so the shopping spree is simply going to have to wait.
Also, I suppose it was a good thing that I actually donated blood for the first time on Saturday. I've been working at blood drives for years and years, and this time I was the one in the chair. Dad was being really weird and videotaping everything (except the gross stuff, but still). And it wasn't that bad, really. About fifteen minutes after I'd given, though, I almost fainted, but the people were really nice. Put me in a reclining chair, put a fan on me and gave me a cold drink. I'm still a smidge woozy from it today. Every time I get up, I have to stop and let this fuzzy feeling in my head go away. Mom thinks its because I'm only about 10 pounds over the minimum weight requirement. I'm hoping to become smaller this summer, but if not, at least I'm not doing horribly to begin with!
I'm really loving Coldplay and the Coldplayers. At any time of the day, "Viva La Vida" is playing very loudly in my head. The Coldplayers are a tribute group to, you guessed it, Coldplay. I commented on their video and ended up with a reply from the lead singer. Very cute, 23, and has a nice voice on top of that. Haha, don't worry. I'm not into online love.
Because a friend asked me the other day, I was reminded to update you, my avid readers, that my love life is very barren. It's been awful this week because, just like at Neiman Marcus, where all I could do is look at beautiful things, I've been confronted by attractive scenery everywhere I go. As I said to this friend of mine, window shopping gets old after a while. #2 asked me to coffee - I think I'll go with him, but certainly will not allow a repeat of last year's fiasco.
I watched the Tony Awards for the first time tonight. I really don't know why I haven't watched it before now, because it really is a very entertaining show. Awards aren't really a big deal - it's the numbers that are presented and the speeches given by some of the best actors known to mankind that make the Tony's worth watching. I was really pleased with how the awards went tonight, and I'm dying to make a trip to Broadway to see all these shows after my shopping spree at Neiman Marcus. I've also been inspired to keep trying. If all those people can do it, maybe it's worth a shot? I've still got a while to figure it all out, I suppose.
I guess there's not much else to say. My internship officially starts tomorrow. (It's technically Monday right now.) I'm really excited and a little nervous. But a new challenge is likely to get me out of this emotional slump for good!
