Pun Master Fun Paster
So, today is the first day of a brand new year, the one and only year 2009. It never feels like anything special or different to me when a new year begins, I don't make resolutions or reflect on the past year. Last night Matt and I went to Biff's house and hung out with a few good pals and had some laughs. Matt's family had the idea that instead of counting down the last 10 seconds of 2008, it would be better to count up the first 10 seconds of 2009... so that's what they did. I kind of wish Matt and I were with them at that point of the night.
Joan and Blair got us all tickets to Cirque Du Soliel for Christmas so we all went to the city on Tuesday to see it. The show was so magical and exciting. The end of the show was something I will never forget... but I won't give away the finale details. As it was happening, I just looked around at the faces of this family who has welcomed me into their lives, and who loves me, and wants me to be a part of everything they do. They were all so happy and smiling and I just wanted to cry because it was so beautiful to see five people that I love all completely happy in that moment, together.
he likes it, he likes it.
It was been really great to be home for winter break. I enjoy being at home with my family very much. I've been getting to spend time just hanging around my house with my parents, which is something I really miss doing when I am away at school. I know that my parents love having me at home, and that feels good. Although I love being home, I've been finding myself missing my Glassboro life. I've kind of gotten used to living on my own, making all of my own meals, and being busy all of the time. When I'm at home, I literally have no responsibilities. I have a job over the summer, but not for the month that I am home for the winter. I obviously don't have any school work, and I don't even have to wash my dishes or do laundry. I think that one month of this is just about as much as I need... any longer would be pathetic, and any shorter just wouldn't be as much fun.
Before we went to New York on Tuesday, we drove past the apartment that Joan and Blair lived in right after they graduated, in Hoboken. We also saw the apartment in Jersey City that they lived in when Matt and Anna were born. It was really cool to hear about what their lives were like back then, because they were just about a year older than Matt and I when they moved to Hoboken and started their life together. Hearing about it all made me realize that that part of my life in coming along sooner than I realized, and that their lives back then are a lot similar to mine and Matt's lives now. Matt graduates in May, and then a year later I graduate. Matt will probably live in Glassboro to be near me until I graduate. Joan and Blair went to Rowan, that is actually where they met, but it was called Glassboro State then. Joan graduated a year before Blair, and lived in Glassboro to be near him. It feels to me like this winter break is really the last time that my life will be so carefree. I work over the summer, and next winter break I will be a nervous wreck as I prepare to start student teaching. I really like being this age, and I feel like my life just keeps getting better. Graduating from college, getting married to Matt, and being cool young parents, seems like the best thing in the world to me. I am enjoying college though, and I don't want it to go by any faster than it should. I feel like my life started for real when I started college... especially that first week when I met Matt.
My cat Molly is suffering from the strangest ailments. She has some sort of food allergy that made the hair on the top of her head fall out, and she is chewing her paws like crazy. My Mom is depressed over it and has been on the phone with the vet everyday. The poor little cat just sleeps on my bed all day.
Amy and I have been working out. She is very entertaining at the gym. She is also a fabulous women and I love her and I am so happy that we are friends. It is so creepy and weird to think about how we knew each other for the past three years but we never really clicked. Now I can't get enough of the girl. It's all about timing... things fell into place just when I needed her.
I thought I was going to get straight A's this semester but I got one B+ and one B. Oh well, I still made the dean's list, and I had a really great time throughout the semester. Most of my classes were ruling. My english seminar was such a great time, I'm going to miss that class a lot. I'm kind of bummed about next semester because I don't think any of my professors are going to be very interesting, and I'm not taking any of my favorites.
MY ZONE
I also did this a few weeks ago which was pretty fun. The skirts were made my Brooke Leonard and the pictures were taken by Christopher Flanegan.
I have a headache and I'm waiting on some dinner.
Love ya,
