Summer is in full swing. I truly cannot complain. Although the job I was banking on fell through, I'm still working at Banana and enjoying the intense amount of free time that I have. We put a pool in at the beginning of summer, so I've been draaaankin' poolside and getting myself nice and tan all day. Other than that, I've been chillin with my ( Read more... )

Here it goes… the last entry (or thing period) that I will ever write from Miley Hall, room 208, Salve Regina University, and Newport, RI, the 02840. I’m going back to CT! This year was… an interesting ride, full of extreme highs and low lows. But that’s life for you, right? Unpredictable. I am sad to be leaving Salve; I’ll admit that. I’ll really ( Read more... )

"At the end of a storm is a golden sky..."

Julie, you are not only one of my best friends at Salve, but you are also one of the best people that I have ever met. You are a genuinely incredible person. I seriously do not know what I would have done without you this year. I probably would not have got through it alive. You keep me sane. I love when ( Read more... )

Pssst... nice weather + living on the beach = not conducive to taking final exams. Tomorrow ends the last day of the last full week of classes... aka the last days of classes are Monday and Tuesday, but tomorrow is the last Friday. Then exams are Thursday - Tuesday, and then PEACE OUT NEWPORT ( Read more... )

"You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line, if I said "I miss you"?
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again, whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care,

...and I miss you."

So it's official: Amanda Wanat is officially a member of the University of CT class of 2010! I sent my deposit in and all that jazz so the transfer is official. Only 22 days left at Salve; kind of bittersweet, I will admit. I'll miss the ABCJK, living on the beach, the gorgeous view, Newport living, SRU dance, and the tight-knit community of this ( Read more... )

Iris: "It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. ( Read more... )

A new year and a new me. Or so I'd like to think. I like to see this all as not only the end of one era, but the beginning of a new one. It really is. I'm making some changes, hopefully for the better. It's definitely been a learning experience. My first semester (and coming second semester) in college, the passing of a... momumental...

Thanksgiving break was AMAZING. I was back with the truest, most incredible people I know and have spent the majority of my life with... and the fact that we had been apart for so long and were then being reunited for only a few days made it even more special and lovely. I missed the Salv a bit, I won't lie, but nothing beats home. Let's see ( Read more... )
