we'll stop time.
I figure its a new year and there is no better reason than to give my LJ some lovin'.
Words cannot express how Fall '07 went for me. Certainly one for the record books. It was just non-stop, barely given moments to breathe, and those normally occured on the nights which I chose to stay in with Rooms rather than go out and take some years off my liver. I dedicated my time to my sorority, my school work and the people that actually matter.
This semester had its share of disapointments, but I believe the surprises weigh things out.
I learned that I can detach myself from home, which seems so weird to me when a year ago I had a need to be home every weekend-- and for what? No one in this town has anything going for them. I came home about 4 times this semester, and only once was it for a full weekend.
I finally had a roommate situation that worked out, it was about freaking timeeee. Its kind of just Nicole and I there, Julie just kind of shows up randomly to shower and get ready. A lot of my sisters thought it was a bad idea to (unintentionally) be living with girl who is in DPhiE, but its working out just fine and we can both laugh together at the stupid drama that girls cause between our orgs.
I fell for one guy this semester, as I allow myself that one guy always per semester. I always tell myself I wont get hurt, but I do. I guess I deserved it though because I hurt someone too and played with their feelings. Like the great philosopher Justin Timberlake once stated, "what goes around, comes around" and boy, did it. It sucks, it hurts a lot but its over and done with. Thats something I learn over and over again, you can't control everything thrown at you, you can only control what you're putting out there-- but only for so long. Sometimes, the ball literally is in the other persons court and it's their job to do something or nothing about it.. even both at once. Joe schmoe. I need to learn to fall for boys who's name does not begin with a J, or boys that are not brothers. Apprently, it can't work out. hah.
I desperately miss Lenape 326. And our adventures, whether going up to Albany spontaneously and getting snowed in there, going to Haz, playing in the snow and "sledding" with the dining hall trays that they personally handed out for us to use as sleds, or the peaceful nights in watching movies and nap time! Most importantly though is Lenape 326 loves Succder 112. Nicole Sean and Adam keep grounded outside of hectic greek life. Our obession with LOL Cats is unhealthy as well.
Over all, this semester is almost a blurr and yet never a dull moment in New Paltz. I could not picture myself anywhere else, it would be a sin. Oh and I had a job for about a week-- I was a sports announcer, and then I couldn't do it one day due to a previous obligation with my sorority which I paid for-- and they let me go. So much for the student work place being un-biased, NOT. Anywho, my grades were quite superb. I got a 3.7 this semester, which is certainly a step up from my 2.85 of last semester! I deserved it, I worked my ass off. At the end of the semester, I was spending 8-12 hours in the library every day. One time I even got KICKED out of the library!! Who gets kicked out of the library-- even if it's due to a wicked snow storm-- you can't just SHUT DOWN the library during finals week. Sometimes, NP is really stupid, but that should be a journal entry in its entirty.
This break has been pretty laid back, and semi-uneventful. My Christmas was splendid and well spent with Family. I ended up in NP for the New Year and Kim and I fought for the bathroom at 730am, it was how we say, "not okay" and then I woke up at noon to realize that 7 inches of snow had fakllen on the ground sometime between 3am and before noon. The fact that that I had to get my car out of, with dollar store gloves, ballet flats and pajama pants was also "not okay". ahahah oh 2008, you killed me, and almost the nerves in my feet. The roads were absolutely terrible and covered in 1-2 inches of snow all the way through NP and Walkill.
So yeah I've been working at Gasho since January 2nd, lovely 10-11 hour days. They decided to throw me in as a bartender, without experience or training. It has surely been eventful and a wonderful learning experience for myself which will hopefully present great opportunities for me in the future when I'm short on cash. So yeah I spend my breaks sometimes in the upstairs dining room... sleeping on the floor. "You wouldddd" as my pledge sisters tell me. But its okay, sometimes you've got to sleep when you're working half the day away. I like to come home and spend time with my parents. I'm like a little kid and I'll crawl into bed with my mom and watch some news and then my dad comes up and we'll watch Leno and then head to sleep.
I've learned to GREATLY appreciate my family on many levels over the past few months. I love them, and next to a handful of people, they are legit all I've got.
On Saturday Jan 5, I got into my first car accidents on Hulstown road. It was the "U-shaped" hill part and well, sheet of ice much? IDK how I managed to gain traction and control of my car, but I did, however the car behind me was not so lucky when it hit my side mirror and crashed into a fence... or the SUV which came flying down the hill 20 mins later at 60 mph and slammed into the back of my car and then going right into another car and impacting their drivers door INTO the car. I was in the woods on the phone with 911 when this all happened, obvi screaming bloody murder. 911 preceeded to hang up on me when I yelled at the operator further about how the police should have gone to block the road 20 mins before when multiple drivers called to tell we were all getting into accidents in the same spot... yeah I would have 911 hang up on me. I didn't get out of there until 12am. It was so miserable and sleety out. My parents were at a party an hour away and I didn't know what to do, so I called JohnDon who came to my rescue and stayed with me for about the last hour. It's friends like him that I never want to let go of. I'm just thankful that there was minimal damage done to my car in comparison to the other 3 cars involved. My car fucked up the front end of the SUV that hit me. My GrandPrix is such a champ. (Everyone involved is fine, no one got hurt thank God as well).
So I am officially graduating next fall, 2008. So weird. It's also weird to think that this is my last time I'll spend a break completely at home once I move out, if all goes as planned, this summer.
As much as I don't want to grow up, I am. Not that I will, I am. I'm an adult. I pay for all things belonging to me whether material or educational.
MM I guess I should get some sleep. I miss NP incredibly. It completes me and my life style, however I should probably find more suitable time fillers than reading. 6 books in 3 weeks is redic. ahah. Oh but history books make the world go round =)
Well, LET'S GO GIANTS! Yay for FINALLY making it through first round of playoffs after like what, 3 years? If we beat the Cowboys, oh that would just be marvelous!! =)
[It's 257 in the morning, and my pledge sisters call me to tell me they love me, and theyre playing Hanson just for me. Maybe they're drunk-- but the truth comes out when your drunk, does it not? This just made me feel so much better. Obviously none of you can exactly understand what a drunken phone call means but to the 12 of us, its worth waking up and answering the phone.]
