(no subject)
sometimes i lay in bed and feel shocked at how blessed i am.
i have everything i could want and/or need, and i love my life.
i dont know what i did to deserve all of this, but i am so very very thankful.
:-)
i haven't updated in about a week so i might as well do that now. I quit my job for good - no more consolidated container ever. i will miss it -- the money and the easiness of the job that is, more than the waking up so early in the morning and working long long hours every day. my new job is absolutely wonderful -- i cannot express to you how fascinating i find my job at the sleep lab. I am learning so much -- when people talk about how they slept or dreamed or whatnot, i find myself thinking about what kind of a sleeper they are, and whether or not they might be at risk for sleep apnea. it's just interesting to me, and i really feel like im helping people.
AND i work only 2 days a week adn make more money doing that than i did working 6 days a week at stop and shop. its wonderful, i tell you, wonderful.
the plan for this week:
- Monday: clean room, lunch with the boys, earrands, nap, work
- Tuesday: continue room cleaning, errands, haircut, work
- Wednesday: i forget but im nearly certain that something is planned. maybe beach with someone?
- Thursday: beach with jenn, but this still needs confirming
- Friday: [hopefully] new hampshire with the crew til sunday/monday
how wonderful is my life?
its also wonderful becuase i actually have a car - its half mine, i share it with my sister, but it will generally get me wherever i need to go, and becuase if its not with me its with mackenzie, i can always have her drive me places. its just a fantastic situation. :-)
today was heidis birthday and we went into boston to shop [we could not find the french library] and i bought clothes i didn't need. they were cheap enough, i suppose, that it isn't a big deal -- they are clothes that i will wear and clothes that will stay around, so it was a worthwhile purchase.
a really worthwhile purchase would be a fake id, i feel. I want nothing more than to be able to go uptown next semester with a scanning fake id, however i feel like im never going to get one. I suppose if all else fails i can get someone to go with me once school starts, but i really want one for the summer so i can drink when we go out...
like tonight -- the girls and i got dressed up and had a skirt party at Vinnie T's in shrewsbury. Not especially classy, i know, but it was in our budget after a day of shopping, and the view of the lake was gorgeous. what would have made the entire thing lots more classy would be a cosmo, however my stupid lack of an ID made me stick to water with lemon and estimate with my friends how long it would be until our IDs would be turned sideways.
anyhow... yeah. that was my night. shopping and vinnie ts. Oh yes, and a stop by chris's (after driving there in my moms new car, lots of fun) to play a little bomberman with the boys and then sit around and shoot the shit before risk didnt happen and it was time to go home.
indeed.
I love being home, i honestly do, but i miss school so much. I can't wait to go live in the house -- regardless of how my friends at home make fun of me about being a stupid sorority girl and getting tatoos in certain places and everything else that comes with it, i really really really love love love my sorority and my sisters and everything that comes with it. I can't wait to see the house after its been redone - new carpet new furniture new paint - i am going to fall over when i walk in.
i love the emails i have with my roomies about how we are going to set up the room - im so glad we're moving in a week earlier than everyone else and we have no classes for a week. there are honestly few things i am more excited about in my life than starting this live in sister sorority thing. i can't wait.
i also can't wait for my job - i just love it and i feel so blessed to have it and i can't wait to start it again. I love the emails i get from my boss about things that are happening around campus....
i know i sound like a blabbering idiot but i cant even express enough how excited i am about this school year. I feel so wonderful to be so excited about going back to school and to have so much to look foward to. : - )
i saw anchorman last night, and farenheit 9/11 and spiderman 2 last weekend. i have been a moviegoing fool since i came home:
- the terminal . saved . the stepford wives . farenheit 9/11 . spiderman2 . anchorman
and i will see dodgeball when it comes out. Last summer i saw terminator 3 and that was it.
its nice that there are good movies out this summer, as 2003 was rather disappointing.
i talked to aaron today from natick and we are goign to get lunch next week before i have to go to work. I miss ppl from school, and even though i really only knew aaron through kate and other ohill people, it will be nice to see him. It will be a change of pace to sit across from someone who knows how awesome umass is, who doesn't tease me for loving it, who doesnt dislike it even though they know nothing about it, and who simply understands the value in going to a state funded undergraduate school. it will also be nice to speak with someone who knows and respects more than one of my sisters and who can attest that we are not the dumb bitchy rich sorority girls that we are stereotyped to be.
i dont get a lot of that in westboro, ive found.
i loathe those state school / sorority girl stereotypes, and since ive realized how much of an affect they have ive started to make an honest effort to not make such comments.
Tatyana really instilled the value of concious self improvement in me, and i love her for that. Not being judgemental and holding my tongue are the top two things on my list and i think ive gotten better at both of them these past few months.
goodnight.
