Really long update...
For those of you who actually read my journal and find some sort of enjoyment in it, I'm sorry for such a big gap in my entries lately. Things at school have been, for the most part, hectic. As we all know, finals are coming up soon and I won't have too much free time in the upcoming weeks so I've been getting everything ready for next semester.
Well, to begin, Thanksgiving was a little over a week ago and it was so amazing to be able to see everyone again. Everyone was back together for that one weekend and we all made the most of it. No one really changed that much. If anything, they changed for the best. Everyone was so much more open and... matured?? I'm not saying everyone was immature, but I think college opened up their eyes a bit. Eric's party was a blast even though most of us don't remember a lot of it. I'm just glad I got to catch up with everyone I wanted to. Of course there's no such thing as a Cornwall party without some form of drama, and even though it only included a few people, I was to blame for it. Yes yes, beer makes us say crazy things. I managed to ruin 2 friendships that night, including one of mine. I'm still sorry...
College is alright, the key is to keep yourself busy and be productful. It helps... really. I started reading the newspaper everymorning, haha, yes I am a geek, but it contributes to keeping myself busy. It's nice to be in business class and know what everyone's talking about when discussing current events. I feel like I'm not missing out, even though some of the news lately kind of makes me wish I was missing out on it.
Something's wrong with my phone.. at first I thought my service got shut off, but then I discovered that I can receive phone calls. So I can get calls, I just can't make them. My mom sent me another phone though, and it will be a new number, so if you need it, ask me and I'll let you know.
My coffee addiction is still flourished and growing. Ashley brought back all kinds of yummy coffee syrups and stuff from Chicago... so naturally I just have to try them ALL... over and over and over again. Can't decide which one I like best. I've discovered that when I drink coffee I'm so much more motivated and productful. I get so much done and the things I do, I do better. I'm never tired and never complaining, it's a whole new me =)
I've gained another addiction in the past 2 months, but this time for a show. Sex and the City is, at the moment, one of my favorite things on earth. It's such a good show and I've been going through the seasons on dvd like crazy, dragging Ashley down with me to the realm of addiction, but her, being a coffee addict as well, is already aware of what addiction is all about.
Speaking of Ashley, she and I have become so so so close ever since her volleyball season ended. We do everything together and I don't think they could have given me a better roommate. I will miss her so so so so much next year, but Ashley ( AKA "Smashley" ) is someone I will definitely keep in touch with. She's the best roommate I could ever have. Love ya Smash =)
She and I decorated our room for Christmas. Haha, we went all out. We have 5 strings of lights in our room all over and loads of garland and a tree, we wrapped our door like a present with a bow and everything (the door decorating was required, our RA made every room do it). We have ornaments hanging from the ceiling, stockings, paper snowflakes... sounds so stupid, but it makes living here so much more comfortable. We got santa hats too, and tonight we're taking Christmas pictures simply because we want more pictures of us together and because we want to show off our room. They'll be online by later tonight or tomorrow, so look on my webshots link when you get the chance later.
I miss my mom a lot =( She's been so supportive of me lately and I realized I kind of take her for granted. So for Christmas, because I'm a poor college kid, I'm crocheting her a throw blanket that matches her room. I feel about 80 years old when I'm making it, but I jsut reassure myself that plenty of kids my age do it too. I'm a little less than half way done but it's taken me atleast a collective time of 15 hours. My aunt funded my yarn, but I'm the one doing all the work and putting in all that time. I hope she likes it but she's a mom, I'm sure she will.
I really want to incorporate ancient civilization into my major somehow but I don't think that's possible. I was thinking maybe a minor in Anthropology, but even then, what jobs can Anthropologists have?? It's Egypt that I'm most interested in. I'd love to go but you know, I don't know if I could go over there without the pretty big risk of being killed. That always puts a damper on my decision to visit. I don't need to be going off and getting killed.
I spent this weekend at my aunt's house house in Cherry Hill, NJ. It was good to see my cousins again, they're growing up so fast. Makes me feel old. My uncle's a dentist and he got me this professional bleaching kit for my teeth as a late birthday present, althought I don't think the bleach will be a match for all the coffee I drink. Guess we'll wait and see...
I'm going back home on the 16th after my finals. An entire month home will be great, even though Eric's talking about taking a vacation out to Colorado to go snowboarding with his friend Ben. Once again, I'm being ditched for someone he sees everyday. I'm not allowed to complain though, because it would be selfish of me and 3 weeks should be enough time with him. I can sarifice 5 days, it'll give me time to hang out with everyone else. Maybe go to the city with some friends or go visit Ashley in Chicago. I'll figure it out when the time comes.
Anyway, I think that's about all that's going on in my life at the moment. Now I have to go to the library and read the paper... even though I really don't feel like it, I'm going to anyway.
I promise I'll update more often...
