Apparently I like to update every 3 months with really long entries...
Well I'm home. It feels good to be home I think. I've been told the feeling won't last for long, but we'll see how it goes. I'm not even going to attempt to figure out what's happened since the last time I updated (back in January?). It's been alot, but it's been good. I'm just going to write whatever randomly comes to mind, because I have nothing else to do.
AIM never works in my house. I have no idea why, I think it just hates me. It's really weird because I never have a problem with it at school. Suck my bum Internet From My House. That's part of the reason I'm on here updating. It's late at night and I was looking for something to do, so I figured why not ramble on for a while?
I'm going shopping tomorrow with my mom. We're going shopping for shoes and a dress for my aunt's wedding slash my parents 50th birthday party. I have to get up early, but it should be fun I think. I usually have fun shopping with my mom. I'll probably con her into buying me lots of things, muhaha. Spring clothes are out, which just means trouble, lol.
I think tomorrow evening I am going to call Nora because she is home too and I haven't seen her in 8 billion years. I have to ask her if her mom really mailed my birthday present because I never got it :( We're probably going to wind up going to Starbucks as per usual. I almost hope we do because then it will be like old times.
Kate and I have a date for sometime during my time home, maybe this weekend. We're going to go to Sandella's and then watch Chariots of Fire. Go ahead and laugh. But we're too cool to care.
I really want to go visit the track team sometime next week. I can't wait to see Marino and Brown, I haven't seen them since I don't know when. I don't know why, but I really want to tell Marino that I have a boyfriend. I think it's because, besides him being like my dad, I always remember him saying that girls go away to college and come back seeming all grown up and having boyfriends.
I think I'm almost embarrassed to go visit the track team. I feel like I'm.. not a sell-out.. but a cop-out?.. for not doing track this year. I think everyone expected me to, including myself, and now that I'm not I just feel horrible. I feel like Marino and Brown are going to be disappointed in me. Maybe I'm just disappointed in myself.
I need to get myself back into shape for real. Derek and I have been running together lately. We're trying to inspire eachother. He says he's not necessarily a runner, but if he runs with someone else it will make him push himself. I agree. Plus (I hope) I will be less inclined to make excuses to not go. Derek and I have been spending some quality time together. It's nice. I haven't really had a chance to hang out with just him in a while, and I think it's pretty cool. We do our running thing, we played basketball a bit, we eat together sometimes, and we had a good quality night last night when everyone else had already left to go away/home. It's good to know that we are still close friends. I was afraid that was sort of lost with the whole Tanner thing, especially with the fact that we spend almost literally 24/7 together.
But back to the running thing ... I am hoping to get myself freakin motivated and work my ass off, especially this summer. Then I can at least feel in shape slash feel and look good again. And then maybe I will be in shape for running on a team again. Who knows. I have become so unmotivated at life. But enough of that.
I'm supposed to go to the city with Jess sometime next week because she has to go to the Met for one of her classes. That should be interesting, us two houligans romping around the city by ourselves. I wonder what kind of mischief we will cause. :{P (haha that was an accident, but now my smiley has a moustache! whee! .. ps - isn't it fun to pronounce that like "moo-stash"?)
anywho. I have to work at the pool during spring break. That stinks like a giant pile of poop. I was going to try and find a sub but everyone else is looking for subs too so I figured it was pointless. Oh well, I guess the money can't hurt. Plus it's not like I have anything better to do. And now I have a little alterior motive since Tanner will be back at school those days now too.
I was so confused as to what I should bring home for spring break. I didn't know if I should bring home all my winter clothes or not because I don't know what the weather will be like once we get back. Hopefully it won't be as shitty as it is now! It freakin rained/sleeted all day today! This is not spring break weather!! I want it to be warm and springtime already geeze. I also decided I want to go somewhere for spring break next year. I am going to have to save lots of money.
I think I've been spending a lot of money recently, but on random things. Random, but expensive things. Like the volleyball team, Oasis tickets, and my mom's birthday present. Hmm..
Oh yeah, my sister and I are buying a surfboard. We went last weekend to Rick's to check some out and Rick said they were getting more in this weekend that just passed. So we're going on Saturday to see what they have now and either buy one or put one on hold. PS - I got back $440 in tax returns, hell yeah. I feel loaded, but I'm sure it won't last for long.
So now I can't wait for the summer for 94 reasons. Some of them include the warm weather, the sun, possibly going away, the beach, surfing on our new surfboard, working at the pool, and actually making decent money for my work. I can't wait to get decent paychecks, geeze.
In a way, I also dread the summer because that means that school is over. Don't take that at face value, I'll be happy classes are over, but I'll be sad to leave all my friends at Hofstra. I think we've become so close and I don't know what I'll do without them being like 12 feet down the hall, or right up the stairs. I think next year will be weird without that too. Poo.
Summer's also going to be rough because I don't know what I'll do without Tanner for 3 months. I don't want this to turn into a mush-fest, but you have to understand that I will have lived for like 9 months seeing him almost literally 24/7 or at least being just down the hall from me. He's only been gone for a day and a half for spring break and I want him back, lol. But hopefully I will be going to visit him during the summer, so I can meet his family and just see him. I think it will be very exciting. I was thinking maybe he could come here and visit sometime during the summer too so that he can meet everyone. We'll see, we'll see.
PS - Today (the 24th) is our 5 month anniversary. It really doesn't feel like that long, it's weird. But I guess when I really think about it, it kind of is a long time since the beginning of the school year.
I'm pretty sure I started out this entry with the goal of not rambling on about Tanner, but I guess I couldn't help it. Blegh, sorry :)
I'm trying to think of exciting things that have happened during the second semester.
We went to a lot of the basketball games. We meaning Tanner and I with the varying group of Alex, Derek, Raffa, Dave, Blake, and Emily. The games were quite enjoyable -- they were always pretty exciting, and we had primo seats in the front of the student section. We eventually picked out our favorite players (THE man being one Mr. Adrian Uter) and realized they all lived like 2 buildings away from us. (They have been sighted more recently, with the amusing effects of Tanner and Alex almost peeing themselves). The team almost made it to the NCAA tournament like 4 different times, but they suck at keeping the lead in the 2nd half. Enough of that.
We went to the city at some point to go see Dan Walsh at Caroline's. It was a big big drunkfest. Derek, Jess, Tanner and I took the train and met Alex, Brittany and his two friends at Penn Station. We wandered and then played in Toys R Us for an hour and a half, lol. Blake and Emily met us at Toys R Us; they were on their way back from Blake's hometown. Then we went to the largest Applebee's in the US (I think?) because we were hungry. And Colin met us at Caroline's. A lot more people came than I had expected to, and it turned out very nicely. Dan was very excited that I brought a lot of friends. I had a really good time. There weren't as many funny comics, but there were a bunch so it was cool.
The Saturday of that same weekend (it was a four day weekend), Tanner and I went on our first actual/official date. We went to dinner at the Olive Garden and then to the movies to see Constantine. It really was a very nice date, I enjoyed it a lot. We both found it amusing that our first date was 4 months into our relationship.
More recently, I went to a luncheon to honor the donors and recipients of the scholarships at Hofstra. It was a really nice event, and it was pretty cool that they matched up the donors and recipients so they could meet. I got to have lunch with James Shuart, who the football/sports stadium is named after, and his wife. He reminded me alot of my great uncle Joe. He was just this big jovial kind of guy. I sat next to his wife, and she told me this cute story about how they met while they were both attending Hofstra on scholarships, and how she thinks scholarships are important because she knows they wouldn't have been able to go to school if they didn't have help, and then they wouln't have met. Well during the lunch, Dr. Shuart asked if anyone was planning on attending the lacrosse game that evening, which I was (we're planning on making that our new basketball tradition.. plus we know like half the team members since they live in our building). So I say yes, and he asks if I want to sit in the private suite he has, and so I said OK! (who would turn that down?!) He gave me another ticket and said I could bring someone along. So 10 seconds out of this lunch I call Tanner saying "How would you like to sit in the box suite at the lacrosse game?" and he was like "How did you get tickets?!" I told him that I had just had lunch with everyone that buildings are named after at Hofstra, and he was like "Oo, look at you with all the connections" haha. ANYWAY, we went to the game, and it was awesome. The box suite was fantastical, especially since it was cold outside. We watched the lacrosse game, had some drinks and food, listened to the basketball game on Hofstra-radio-transmitted-through-the-Hofstra-channel, and then changed the channel so we could watch the lacrosse game while it was broadcast on FOX sports. It was super-spiffy I must admit.
Another more recent event, this weekend Tanner, Blake, Emily, and I went to the city to meet up with Blake's mom and sister, who were going to treat us to dinner and a Broadway show, and a night in their hotel. We went to see La Cage aux Folles which is the Broadway show that the movie The Birdcage was based on. It was good, I enjoyed it. We went to Applebee's after (actually, same one as mentioned above) but I didn't eat because I wasn't feeling well. Actually, I'm pretty sure I had a slight food poisoning because I puked.. on a street corner.. twice. Tanner and I decided to head back to Hofstra, which ended up being a trek because I didn't feel too good. We almost got caught in the middle of a gangfight. One of the ruffians punched a car. They got arrested by 32 cops. I puked in front of them. I thought it was funny because the first thing my mom asked me was if I had been drinking, and I was like no! (because I would have been fine if it was from drinking! this was such a random event). Ah well.
Well now that it's 240, I believe I should head to bed. Gotta get up early tomorrow. Sorry for the long entry by the way.. if anyone actually happens to have read it.
PS - when is everyone done with school?
