I wish I updated more, because mounds of things happen in between the times I update, which I just can't remember afterwards.
WORK
I am almost done! Just one more day, Friday. They say that in order to stay in the computer now I need to come back once per month. I think I'll agree to that for now, but possibly change my mind later. I'm jut not sure it's worth it, but since I'll already be coming back 3 of the 4 months maybe I can manage it, I dunno.
But other than that things have been going pretty well. I feel like I've made friends with, or at least become friendly with a whole slew of people there, though, and I'll be sad to not see them again, perhaps ever. I feel like I've gained a lot of confidence this summer, and I see it a lot in my interactions with people at work, which might be part of why I feel like I made a lot of friends this time around.
SCHOOL
Very, very excited about the start of school. Of course I am a dork and love school, which might be part of it, but who really knows. I am so looking forward to the house, and I'm pretty much set with furtniture and other random things. I can't think of anything else I need to buy, which is good, although I'm sure I'll find something. LIke today I found these pretty curtain things in Pier 1, which were normally $45, marked down to $19 on sale, and I got 20% off of one of them. SO i'm going to get more over the next few days and maybe I'll uise them, and if not just return them.
I've pretty much decided to go to grad school immediately after undergrad to do the student teaching and whatnot there, and also just to have a higher degree when I go to look for a job. I'm thinking about staying at UMass because I already know a number of people in the education department, and it might be pretty easy to try to find someone to live with. But I haven't completely decided about that part yet, I really need to look into the program.
BOY
I saw Nik a few times recently and we did lots of fun things! We went to a zoo, the MoS, a healthy(er) fast food place, another healthy food place (whcih was amazing), and I feel like I'm missing something big, but oh well. Things have been going really, really well, which is great.
FRIENDS
This past weekend was Meri's 21st so a bunch of us went out to dinner the night before. It was great to see people and catch up a bit, because I missed them!
I am visiting Laura on Saturday until Friday down in DC. I'm very excited about this as well, because I have missed her dearly!
Melissa and I had a romantic date at Starbucks today, and now she is back at school and that makes me a little sad but I think I will be ok. We also had a date like last week where we went to see Click. Today was the first time I ever got coffee from Starbucks (I had hot chocolate and apple cider and some vanilla thing before) and I had a mocha frappachino light and it was yummy!
Haven't seen Julie in like a month, but hopefully soon... like when I get back from seeing Laura and such. Also haven't really seen Boots much, and that is sad.
MISC
I'm currently reading Harry Potter 4. I bought a boxed set and its lovely. I think I've become a bonafide (sp?) shopaholic of late. Like I cannot go into a store without buying something or other. I've also been buying tons of clothes, which I attribute to the fact that I've lost all this weight (15+ lbs) and I like the way clothes fit now, for the most part, so it's fun to buy them.
Tomorrow I am cutting my hair for Locks for Love!
I think that's all. But it's probably not. But that's ok.
