um. yeah ok so nick aka JAKE says i should write in my journal more.. well it is a new year...so hmm lets give it a try shall we? i guess ill begin by recapping the past year. oh i know- HOW ORIGINAL RIGHT!?
So anyway let's start with the FIRST couple months of the year. I was kind of upset because my grandfather had just passed over Thanksgiving Break as well as a good friend of my dad's who I knew and was living with us. My dad was having more of a hard time so he went to Brazil to escape. I was beginning my second semester at Westfield State. The end of January I fit the "stupid college student" persona when I got way too drunk at a sketchy party. Janele walked to get me and we walked a COLD walk back to school from the MASS PIKE (like a 3 mile distance) in SNOW. I was SO smart. I also liked a dumb guy. In Feb. I was ridiculously busy with my duties as class president. Emily and I both had our hands full w/ SGA and class council and planning events like Senate Banquet. AHh Senate Banquet... so much FUN. It was like prom only cooler because it was college and we got to plan it. + VIP perks. The night kind of ended badly tho when Em (my roomie) and Whitney (neighbor) got caught w/beer. . and got 5-5-50's. 5-5-50 in Westfield's terms = 5 weekends suspended off campus, 5 hours of community service, and 50 dollars spent to attend alcohol classes--YES people that is punishment for the FIRST offense. Whats funny is I was in the room when it all went down but the securtiy gaurd didnt see me. I would have felt bad if i was actually drinking but i decided not to that night.. i was too tired haha...super move on my part.
Spring weekend happened in April which was amazing. Emily was allowed to stay for this weekend because we're on CAB and we had to help set up the stage and basically work the whole entire weekend with no sleep. The post weekend exhaustion was well worth it tho because Story of the Year performed! They were amazing. Real nice guys too. I got a chance to talk w/them because we arranged a raffle for the frosh class for a couple fans to "hang out w/them" for a bit. The concert was amazing and all of us on CAB got to be in the "security row" which is in FRONT of the front row! right up against the speakers.. there was actually a gate protecting us. I still cant believe we actually built the stage they were on. so yeah the concert was amazing that close.. adam gave me his pic and it was great because he is so drop.dead.gorgeous. then during the last song we all got up on stage and jumped and almost broke it:)
In May it was sad because the seniors were leaving. We had an SGA dinner and it sunk in.. last time wed probably see tom and amy etc. Greg Benoit was so cute, and when we went to Boston I remember him asking what I wanted to do in life.. after college. And i was completely blank.. i had no idea. Emily and I talked to him at the dinner more than we talked to him ever and realized he was really cool. It's so weird how people often come into your life and then just soon after leave it...
June was a blur. July, ah july. July 4th I met my LOVE, Allie. And when I say "met" i mean actually talked to. I had seen her around before with my friend Lauren, just never actually had a conversation w/her. I remember meeting up with Lauren at Wendy's with Julie in like 10th grade, and she seemed like a bitch. She was really pretty but she had this evil glare in her eyes haha. She made it a point not to talk to anyone but lauren. I thought she was a snob, but come to find out she was moving to California so she wasnt into making any friends, and she also had a problem with julie. Anywho, the fourth of July was a fun time... Greg and I both went to Lauren's pad on Beacon hill for the apt party on the roof. There was a dj.. and an open bar that had no problem serving 19 year olds haah. so i think i fell in love with allie when she was drunk + tried to cook me a hamburger. She def took like 3 pounds of beef and slapped it on the stove. hahaew. no no thats not it! I knew allie was the one for me when she made fun of the slut who tried to steal the cute guy I was talking to.OKAY so later in July I started working for the god awful hell hole company known as J. CREW. Maybe it wouldnt have been so bad it the store didnt think they were VeRSACE!? They hired a bunch of us and told us we were going to be "personal shoppers". So basically we are anyones bitch. The rules were ridiculous and I dont feel like reliving the details. Oh and the majority of management SUCKED. They were heinous bitches.
August.. hmm lets see still worked at J.Crew. Allie pretty much lived with me and dad. We went out all the time.. hung out on wolly beach or other places in q until 4 in the morning. mixed awful bermudian rum w/coke way too much. Made some friends... and some enemies. All in all, a fun time. My father disagreed, and at this point in time we didnt get along much. during this month my car was also in and out of the shop. sucked but had some advantages, like dan prioli ;-)
September = back to school.. met courtney. the hot block was back in action. chris got an apt so we partied there like all of sept. then he had to move to FL:( . We also went to apt. 2a2 on campus lots. My birthday on the 25th.. craZy ass weekend. pregamin w/bobby whit and meg. apt 2a2. tim:-x. During the past year my dad has traveled to Rio, Brazil like 5 times. In Sept he finally was able by permission of the US to bring back his fiance...yeah
October.. halloween was fun but I am getting sick of typinggg. The only part of halloween that wasnt fun you can find in a diff entry. Allie visited me. The elections were in November. Dennis died on the 22nd and it was the worst day of the year. We prayed but he just couldnt come out of the coma. Thankgiving break came. Catherine, Krystle and I went to the wake, funeral, and burial. yeah. break was shitty. December.. long.. finals... sucked.. home free. Christmas came and went, and now it's a new year.
