Updates Are Always Good...
Wow…I haven’t made a real update in here so long. It’s about time…
I guess ill start with a few weekends ago, Friday, Nov. 5…
I decided to come home cause I had been in Brandeis for a total of 6 weeks straight and I couldn’t do another 2 to bring the total up to a whopping 2 months without coming home. That’s an entire summer…and I don’t go to sleep away so I'm not used to that.
I was scheduled for the 2:30 bus but I made the 1:30. However, it didn’t get in to NYC until like 8 so I didn’t get back to the house until like 9. But before I went into my house some very special people came out of Joey’s house (those being Sean, Dana, and Joey), one of them being the most special of them all (that being Sean lol). I was so good to see him. I ran into his arms and I felt home again. Then I gave the others a hug and then off to my house to eat some real bagels, which took me quite some time. Finally I got to spend some real quality time with Sean and then Pilnick and Evan came over to my house. Pilnick gave me a huge hug and so did Evan. It was awesome to see them again. Finally the night was over and I took Sean home. Saturday rolled around and it was off to the city to visit Adrita who I hadn’t seen since like graduation. I took the LIRR in and then the subway to NYU. I met her in Duane Reade (good directions Dreeds!). We walked over to her dorm and I saw her room and met one of her roommates. We basically just spoke the whole time in her common room, which was nice. We needed to catch up. I took a train home and then it was off to dinner with Sean, Dana, Joey, and Brookis!! We went to Applebee’s, which I was in desperate need for. Then off to Coldstone, which just made my night. Finally, we reached our destination, which was Kim’s for poker. I was doing pretty well until I got the mother of all stomachaches so I cashed in to lie on her couch. Sean continued playing while checking up on me. Some people were getting angry at him for stopping the game to check on me but I was like who the hell cares? I’m sick and he’s being a good boyfriend! After the game (which I made him lose cause I was exhausted) I drove him home. At about 2:15 we got a text that upset us and in turn caused me to stay out until 3:15 trying to figure some stuff out. My parentals weren’t too happy about that but what could I have done? Anyways, Sunday rolled around and since everything had been figured out, Sean took me to Port Authority. We didn’t get to say the best goodbye but I kissed him in the middle of Port Authority and it was like we were in the movies. He was soooo nervous to go back alone on the subways and train but he was happy he came with me and so was I. I got back to Brandeis pretty early and that was that.
The next weekend I went home with Sara to her house in Rhode Island. It was a lot of fun. Even though it wasn’t Bellmore or my own home or parents it felt like home…or at least more so than Brandeis ever will. I ate real food and slept in a real bed and I was in a real town and everything. It felt good. We got a lot of work done but also had a lot of fun even though her dog like attacked me every 5 seconds. I met her horse, Gabe, and we saw Bridget Jones Diary, which was cute. It was a lot of fun and a good second break from Brandeis.
The next weekend I didn’t do much. Saturday Sara and I went into Boston and ate in California Pizza Kitchen in the Prudential Center for dinner. It was her first time eating there and she loved it. We traveled more than actually spending time in Boston but we got the hand of the buses, subways, and commuter rails so it’s all good. (Side note: Prudential mall has absolutely no clothes in it just chachkas.) Basically, we relaxed, did mass amounts of work, and watched a lot of Friends episodes.
Now, finally, it’s this past Tuesday. I went to class and recitation was cancelled as well as Orgo on Wednesday so I was free to leave. At 6 I went to Rabb steps and got on the Turkey Shuttle and was on my way home. I got home around 11:30 and went to bed. Wednesday rolled around and I got up at freakin 7 to take my dad to the train. I haven’t done that in so long. Back to my house for more sleep before I went to get Wald and Gordon at around 10. We went back to JFK and it was actually strangely nice to see it again. We went to Ms. Gant, who had our pics up on the wall of 5’s for the AP Calc test. Woo-hoo for getting a 5!! Then we went downstairs and went out to lunch at Town Bagel with Joey and Pilnick (by we, I mean Gordon, Melissa, and myself). Back to school to see Schleith and Doctora, as well as Lopez!! It was so much fun.
Afterwards, I took Gordon home, went back to my house for 10 minutes to re-straighten my hair and brush my teeth so I could look all pretty and clean for my boy. I met Sean outside Mepham at 1:30. I was so happy to see him. It had been 2 weeks but it felt like so much longer! We went back to his house and then I drove him to his RRDC interview. Back to my house for some dinner and then off to Alex’s for poker with all of TCC reunited. Unfortunately, due to the events of the last time I was home I had a curfew so Sean and I ended up leaving Kim’s and going back for quality time at his house (yup! Back to Sean’s!! I know it’s so weird we’re never there!). This caused me to not be able to see Kim or Robin the rest of vacation which totally sucked. (I’m so sorry guys but I wanna see you when I’m back in December!!) Anyways, the night turned out to be amazing, which was nice considering we didn’t get to spend it with everyone.
Thursday was Turkey (a.k.a tryptophan) Day! It was nice except for the end, which I won’t discuss here but basically it ended with me crying on the phone to Sean but it’s all good, we’ll deal.
Friday was a good day. I got to spend it with Sean and Brookis in the beginning and I got to eat real NY pizza, which I don’t think I've had since august. Then it was off to Starbucks to meet Melissa and eventually Evan. Kim called to hang out at night but for a few weeks we’ve been planning the double date so I sadly told her no. I drove Brooke and Sean home and then went home and showered. Then it was off to get Melissa and Evan and go to Brooklyn Pizza for dinner. It was yummy and we laughed a LOT! Then we went to the theater and got our tickets. We saw The Incredibles (Where’s my super-suit, woman?!? LOL). It was really funny. Go see it! Then I drove them home and spent the rest of the night with Sean. It was yet again another amazing night.
Finally Saturday rolled around. I showered and went to get Sean before my RRDC interview this time. He waited in the car for me while I was in there like I did with him. (We wanted to spend as much time as possible together since I wouldn’t be seeing him again after this vacation until, like, December 20th, 21st, or 22nd, depending on when I can get home.) I saw Amanda (my old co-counselor) and Matt in there. I spent time in the office with Lori, Fran, and Caroline. It was nice to be there again, where everyone (or lots of people) knows my name. It felt like home, since the summer is the greatest time of my life. I went in for my interview with Ron and Mark and Lori came in too. It was really short and I get to stay in 3rd grade which makes me happy. Ill be with Sean again!! Hooray!! Hopefully ill also be with Brooke, Evan, and Melissa. That’d be sick. At the end I got a camp yearbook and Mark and Lori spoke to me about being a Color War lieutenant this summer. We’ll see…
After the interview Sean and I met Matt, Evan, Joey, and Pilnick in the mall. We also saw Melissa and her O-side friend Jess. We ate in Wendy’s (mmmmm chicken strips with honey mustard sauce!), went to Claire's to get Melissa her b-day present, and shopped in Hot Topic, Aeropostale, and Old Navy. I bought a zip up sweatshirt, another long-sleeved shirt, and a new winter jacket, which I needed desperately. My bro finally gave me the Flogging Molly shirt he bought me so I came home with a lot more than I left with.
Sean and I went back to my house after dropping off Melissa and her friend. I put on make-up and then it was time to leave again and go to Friday’s in Massapequa for Melissa’s b-day party!! It was a lot of fun and we had yummy food. We went back to her house for a little and then back to Sean’s for our last amazing night. And that’s just what it was. Even more so maybe than the others…
Today I woke up and Sean came to say a quick good-bye and get his sunglasses back. My rents weren’t too happy but I really didn’t care at that point. That past night made me realize that nothing was going to stop Sean and me. My rents drove a teary-eyed me to the mall and I got on the bus and we commenced our 6 hour trip back in the pouring rain on a scalding hot bus in massive amounts of traffic. Now I’m here and completely depressed.
This isn’t home and it never will be. This weekend someone said that home is where the heart is…and how right they are. Sean has my heart and so LI will always be my home. That’s where we met. But not just Sean and my memories with him. My memories of TCC hold a special place in my heart and therefore reinforce the idea that LI is my only home. I can’t wait to go home again and this time with absolutely no HW and for a long time! I wanna spend as much time with Sean as possible. I miss him so much. He’s my everything. But ill stop being mushy now. I need to shower and relax since I’m exhausted. Ill just end by saying I miss TCC and I’m sorry I didn’t get to see them that much. Hopefully we’ll make up for it. But for now I have to go. Wow this was long. But I needed it.
I miss you so much…
You’re just jealous cause we’re young and in love…
