random stuff
so this week i have been doing nothing but working at rushing insurance for kelli's mom approximately 8:30-5 and swimming laps at night every day. i haven't woken up this early for sequential days in a long time. it's good to be on a schedule though and the early-ness hasn't bothered me.
tuesday night sean got the dvd of young frankenstein which i hadn't seen in forever. it was really funny.
i have been reading a lot of living history and after renewing it twice i am happy to say that i am almost finished with it. i don't know why it has taken so long to read. i mean it's relatively interesting; it's just some weird little thing that annoys me. it's like the chapters don't flow at all, like there are no transitions between them. i mean it's kind of chronological but it jumps out of that if she has a little anecdotal story to tell in the middle of something else. i just don't like that sort of disorder.
i had also been reading harry potter at the same time, which turned out to be bad because harry potter was so interesting i couldn't put it down. i've got probably less that 100 pages left in hp and i have stopped reading it until i finish living history so i can have something to look forward to. sadly i have already deduced who is going to get killed off at the end. i'm sad about that, but not really. the book is good.
i've looked up textbooks for all my classes and they are of course outrageously expensive at the bookstore. i'm thinking of ordering them online, but i don't know if i should so early. they could change the books i need or drop my classes and i will have already bought the books. i think i might order some of them soon though.
i got another issue of in style yesterday and spent a few hours today reading it here at the office. i really like it and i now have hair products and other things i need to buy.
i'm still working on sort of dieting. i guess i would call it more getting fit than dieting. i am badly out of shape and i think swimming at least a mile every day i can for the next 3 weeks will help. i've been doing it twice a week all summer because of swim lessons being on the other days the park is open. i've also got to get back into doing my crunches, pushups, lunges, and whatever else i need too. i plan on getting back to my normal weight and hopefully below that, but actually being more fit. i hate it when people just diet to get skinny. you've gotta have some muscle, too.
*ooh i just had to write someone a receipt!*
it is so weird that i had to leave people messages on facebook congratulating them on their marriages. that just kind of freaks me out (esp since i've never even been out with anybody) and makes me feel old.
i'm being more positive about school. i will miss my friends that are going to italy, but i'm acting like there isn't anyone else at berry, which obviously is untrue. i can't wait to see helen, jennifer, julie, ashley, and everyone else again and i think we will have fun (and i swear i will not be a bitch). i have only 4 classes this fall and hopefully it will be a light load (even though one class is writing intensive and 2 have labs). since the work load should be manageable my goal is to have a lot more fun than i have in past years (meaning i won't just sit in my room and do homework, read, and study). of course this all depends on if i can get my work schedule set so that i don't have to work every night shift or on weekends and if my classes have the amount of homework i'm expecting (not much). it will certainly be a different semester for me in more ways than one: i'll have a new room even though it's on the same hall as last year, i'll have a new roommate, i'll only have one gov class, i'll have a science (which i've never had at berry) and a language (which i've never had at berry) and both have labs (which i have never had). i just really want and am looking forward to a normal college experience (minus the alcohol) this time because i feel kind of like i haven't had that and i've been living in a little place between past and future but not quite in the present. this time i'm really going to try to live in the present, day to day and not worry so much about things and not be so nostalgic. everything and everyone is changing and i'm just struggling to keep up. change doesn't have to be bad though. i can't wait for basketball games and dances and meals in dhall with friends. i just hope everyone is not too busy to have fun this semester because i am ready to break out and party.
of course that is a few weeks away still and i plan on having fun in statesboro too while i am here so statesboro people if you're not too busy and you want to get together i am game after this week.
