WHERE HAVE I BEEN??

[pluie_confettis]

Doing a whole lot of "sleep and do nothing to avoid facing the Real Life tidal wave approaching in August," basically.

The following entry is long, but important to me. If you do actually read my journal, I'll ask that you don't skip this, just because it took a long time to write and contains an extensive narrative of my feelings and what's

Sounds like you're really moving ahead in life....good for you!

I wouldn't worry about not being able to relate to your family when you get back. It'll be fine and they'll just be so glad to see you again, nothing else will matter. :)

The pride day sounded wonderful....I'd love to go to something like that, just to feel like I 'm a part of something that matters.

Good luck in school and I love Harry Potter too!

<3

It's terrifying! lol

I'm lucky because if I want to come home, it's about 2.5 hours via subway/train and will only cost about $25 round trip, so if I have a bad week and want to come back for a weekend or something I can. So there's that, too, I won't be too far away. :)

Oh, it was so lovely. I think they tend to have pride celebrations all over, mostly in the major cities but elsewhere too. Look out for one near you! It's a lot of fun.

Thanks! :D

I'm so excited for you about NYU! Can't wait to hear all about it :)
Do you know what dorm you are in? One of my friends is an RA in Brittany.

[pluie_confettis]

lol I'M SO NERVOUS!!!! Honestly I think they make it ten times more difficult to understand/do when you're a transfer. It's ridiculous!

I'm in University Hall, I just found out last night. I don't know anything about it, except that it's on 14th street, hah.

Oh, I've been inside that dorm visiting friends, it's pretty decent for a dorm! Plus its like a block from Union Square, which is AWESOME not just cuz theres so much around there but there's a million different subways that you can take from there So jealous you're gonna live in the city, I had a blast living there for a summer.

And yeah, i dont get why they make transferring so hard, it just doesnt make sense, lol. Good luck with everything!!!!!

[pluie_confettis]

Haha I'm so NERVOUS!

Thanks! :D

NYU is expensive. I remember I wanted to go there at one point and then decided against it. I was confused when it came to my future plans, so it was good that I didn't bother with student loans. I wish you the best of luck on this new adventure!

I hope you find someone that shares the same passion for music as you, because I have yet to find someone at my school that does. It's a shame.

I can relate when it comes to the chickening out about the hair. Perhaps you should steer clear of bright colors since you have to keep a professional look for the career you go into, but we should be able to express ourselves while being students you know? I've wanted to put a streak of blue or purple in my hair for the past two years and I haven't yet. But, my time is running out. Pretty soon I have to apply for jobs and join the real world. So do it now!

It is mad money, yo. I just was like, you know what, I'm sitting around doing nothing and accruing debt, I might as well do it while getting an education at a good school so I can get a steady, decent job one day. Still sucks, though lol.

It really sucks when there's no one around who gets it, you know? It's one of the main reasons the internet is awesome, even though then you have to weed through the crazies. =\

We should both do it now! I mean, you have to live life without regrets, right? I'd rather regret doing something than regret NOT doing it and never knowing how it would have turned out. And damn straight, we haven't joined the real world yet!

This comment is here to let you know I read your entry, Sara.

And that I was thoroughly disappointed with Deathly Hallows Pt 2.

[pluie_confettis]

Thank you, Kevin. :D

There were a few things that made me go, "Okay, ugh," but for the most part I loved it. Of course, I'm all wrapped up in the idea that it's over, and we finally got to see Snape's story played out, and I decided to go into it and take it for what it was, you know? I hated Part 1, though. Was it just to different from the book for you? I only read the book once, right when it came out, so I couldn't tell what was changed and what stayed the same.

[kmart890]

Yeah, a lot of things were just off.

My biggest annoyance was both Weasley twins having both ears...

[ella_eternity]

i wish i had the guts to chop all my hair off, but i always get close and then freak out.

this all sounds super positive and great and i'm so happy you're speeding into life like this. you're going to be incredible at NUY-i can't wait to hear all about it

[pluie_confettis]

It always grows back. The worst part is the in-between times when you think you want to grow it out.

Thanks, girl. I'm really terrified of it.
