Its Britney, Bitch!

Tonight Josie, Mackey, Meg Cleary and I are being the biggest girls of all time. We're watching MTV's Britney Spears special and eating chocolates. Its perfect!



I'll let you know how it goes :-D

joe and jebb return to oneonta

Tomorrow is the great car ride back to New York. I'm hoping to sleep through most of it since I drove most of the way down. Josie and I had a really good time acting like 11 year olds with Lauren. Relaxation, family, and shopping were the name of the game. I just got a big stomach ache thinking about all the things I have to do in the next three weeks. Its overwhelming but hopefully I will get it all done. Josie's visit and our trip to Virginia have been the relaxation period I've looked forward to that has kept me sane for these past weeks. Its a strange feeling knowing that you are a grown up and have to make sure everything happens and gets done right. Anything I want done has to be done by me and no one is there to fix things if I give up. YIKES! I hate growing up.

josie, virginia, and onesies

So Josie finally arrived. Its been an incredible week so far. We had tons of fun in Oneonta, including Bob Dylan and Alysa. Thursday night we had a party at my house and it was just the most fun ever. One of those nights you will remember forever, especially due to the extreme amount of pictures taken. After the party, we all went to the bar where Josie and I were THOSE GIRLS (as usual) and stood right in front of the band and danced danced danced. SO FUN!

We drove down to Virginia on Friday with Mama and Katelyn. I got lucky enough to drive from 9pm until we arrived at 4:30am. After that I immediately went to sleep... I'm not even sure how I kept myself awake for the ride. The next morning, mama asked why I didnt have her drive. My answer was: Because you were sleeping.... hahaha mama

Whilst in Virginia, Josie and I have done a lot of shopping. I got a polaroid camera (yay!) we bought matching onesies (see josies blog for pictures) We've also kept ourselves very entertained but just being ourselves. Last night we had a delightful reenactment of America's Next Top Model. As soon as Tyra sees our pics, you know she'll be calling us. All In all its been a delightful week and I've decided it shall not be ending. I hope no one minds a time pause for the rest of eternity! :-D

cant sit still

Josie will be here in 6 hours. This is crazy! A few weeks ago, this was just a silly idea that we were throwing around and now Josie's in America. Its funny how these things happen. Its gunna be the best two weeks ever :-D

I found a sweetsweetsweet apartment in Syracuse. Its about 4 blocks from campus the whole neighborhood is pretty much college folks. Its a one bedroom but it is large and in charge. Big living room, big kitchen, big bathroom, big bedroom. The best part is, there is a "storage room" that is big enough to use as another room. I'm probably gunna deck that shit out in tapestries and candles and call it my "chill room" eeeeeeekkk I'm excited now.

Also, my program doesn't offer grad assistantships but since my mom is getting her PhD from SU I can possibly get myself hooked up with an assistantship from her department. And then all my worries will be over. Not all my worries, really, but all my financial worries.

I cannot wait for thanksgiving. Josie is joining the family for that hullabaloo down in virginia. I love when my whole family is together! My brothers girlfriend is coming too. I'm really going to encourage the idea of marriage to these two. Not because I like marriage, but because I LOVE wedding receptions. We'll see how it goes.

There is so much funsies and excitement inside of me right now! I think I've been needing this after the weird and difficult month I've been having. yayayayayayyyyyy

So a mama tomato and a baby tomato...

I love Josie. She told me the tomato joke today which always makes me feel better.

Sooo Obama got elected, I got into grad school, Josie is coming here in one week, I already have someone to take over my lease, I almost have a new apartment lined up, Thanksgiving is coming soon, my sideview mirror got run into and died in the middle of the night, Prop 8 got passed, the semester's almost over, i had to make a sad decision....

Those are my highs, lows, and thank you's. You decide what's what.

Syracuse and shit

Sooooo I had my interview and I think I performed pretty well. It was way less stressful than I had imagined and a few of the questions were straight out of an RA interview. At that point, I knew I had it nailed. I even made a couple G-rated jokes to get the crowd involved. Now its just a waiting game but I feel content because I did all I could and whichever way it goes is fate. Thats pretty much my take on life. As long as you put in the effort, whatever is supposed to happen happens. Baddda Bing.

I found a potential apartment too. A girl is graduating early and has to sublet her room in a two bedroom apartment. The apartment is literally 1 block from the building that houses my potential department and I think about 3 blocks from the library. I couldn't even dream of a better location. Its pretty much like living on campus but with NO campus rules! The ad says the roomate is easy to live with so hopefully shes not lying. I messaged her and she said she would send me pictures of the apartment in the next few days. The message came across as very friendly and enthusiastic so i definitely feel at ease about it so far. Things really seem to be starting to fall into place. Ever since getting past the hurdle of getting this stupid application done, everything has just been really easy so I'm starting to feel like this is the right thing for me to do after all. Like its not just this half-assed scheme I came up with, it really could just work right out. I still hate waiting to know for sure though!!

Countdown: 2 weeks until Josie and I couldn't be more excited!!!! ahhhhhhhhghhghghhhh!!!! <3
