10:50 am: School sucks
1st day back and I had an 8:30 lecture class where the teacher wants to take attendance every day and assign us seats - 300 students and he wants to take role: DROP. Could barely do it today, cant do it three days a week, dont think so sir.

This Sat we're breaking in the new apt with a party, so far it seems pretty promising and Im getting antsy and excited. Hope our neighbors dont hate us.

Off to my second and last class, hope its less painful than my first and more realistic.

07:55 pm: San Fran Bitches
Set out to find Jen an apt and got her one on the first day- were pretty smig with ourselves. Lease signed, stress relieved, now weve been touristing it up, playing without schedules or cares in the world, mingling with Terrence, George, anonymous Dancer, Florida boys, Deana and pretending to see Evan. Good times in a fun city.
Tues its back to studying for my exam the 1st and finishing settling into our glorious new pad (Reflections)
For now- leftover Indian food and a movie at the hostel- weeeee

03:26 pm: 4/20
Yesterday Dri took the GREs and didnt do as well as shed hoped. I woke early to finish mad paper work for class and perform my scene as my final (got an A). Then I went to check the status of my petition, which was denied, so Dri and I decided to sulk with a 46 oz margarita at Ashleys Pub- delicious!! Then we followed up with a quart for myself and a 12 pack for Dri. Soon after, I headed over to the Parkers house to celebrate the holiday right. A good fun night had by all. :)
This morning I worked with the owner and corporate, alongside a new fella weve been training who is virtually useless. We literally had to label every type of bread because he couldnt remember them, now he wants us to label the meats because he cant distinguish tuna from turkey or roast beef. I find myself getting so frustrated with him and then I feel really badly because he may really have a learning disability or handicap, somethings not right. I need to acquire patience, thats an important attribute for life that I seriously lack. Ill have to work on that.
Tonight I go into work to continue training for manager. The other night I was in charge of ordering produce, counting drawers, making prep lists, checking people out. . . Tonight Ill run through everything again.
For now- a nap, a well earned, much desired nap :)

08:27 pm: FUCKED UP
Yesterday I worked from 6:45 in the morning until 9:20 at night- sucked ass. It was the longest day of my life but I at least had a fun crew. Got out, went home, ate, showered, dressed and headed out to a party.

Got fucked up.

Really didnt plan on staying long but retardedly got fucked up. Jen Murray, my hero, took care of me and brought me home and this morning I woke up and Adri was like- 'whyd you puke last night?' Didnt really remember that happening and went into the bathroom- vomit all over the toilet, avocado and craisin vomit to be precise. So at 7 this morning I was scrubbing vomit before work, thought Id be ill again. However, I had a great time at the party and havent been out in at least a week so was glad to do something. Good times had by all.

10:19 am: My test suuuuuccckkeedddddd!!!!

However, I applied for a job at the mall that starts at higher than I make at ABC after 2 yrs- we'll see what develops from that.

3 WEEKS TILL ITALY!!!!!!!!!

2 weeks till Miami!!!

Schools almost over- just too much excitement for me, Im ready for this semester to conclude, the sooner the better.

Yesterday I worked the morning and then spent all afternoon in the sun- sooo beautiful. Matt, Kel, Jen and I lounged around the pool before retreating to Tropical Smoothie for the most delicious smoothies ever! Later I watched Sideways with Dri and David and then had TCBY- a little treat to end the night. Super fun and mellow, lovin it. I need summer now, I dont want to go to class today, I wanna be a beach bum and lay in the sun forever sippin on mango, pineapple, kiwi smoothies and asking scene it trivia- ahhhh, the good life.

09:01 pm: Suppose you were to look up the term 'lazy motha fucka' in the dictionary, Im fairly confident my picture may be present. I slept sooo much today, soooo much. Felt damn good too and I could go to sleep right now and be happy. Im a bum.

Last night I went out with Nicole and we had a good time, crashed around 5 this morning. Mingled with Timmy, Mikey, Elena, Brandy, Mark, FRANCES (haha). . . Good times, good times. Absolutely love Nicole and ladies night, cannot lie.

So, I may be set back an entire yr in school because of some policy they just implemented with prerequisites and bull shit- dont know what the hell Ill do if thats the case, might just switch majors or get a minor or something to kill time, hopefully I can just weasel around it though. I sent the department head an e mail and only time will tell. Yikes

Off to either sleep or study for that pesky test tomorrow, youd think a coffee and red bull ought to perk my ass up but youd be wrong. Its a battle with this body, a real battle.

01:19 pm: Hehe, I just literally chuckled to myself thinking about Josh, a boy Dri is kind of dating. Two days ago he came out of our bathroom and inquired about our Body Butter and said hed just been looking at our toiletries, didnt think much of it at the time but now wonder if he delved into the medicine cabinet where we have a variety of anti-fungal creams- haha. Dri had to buy all these medicines because the doctors mis-diagnosed her with scabies and because of a violent outbreak of ringworm caused by jen and Hazels cats- so I bet our cabinet is frightening to any passerby, hehe, hope he got a good shock for being nosey. :)

Are classes over yet?! And better yet- am I really sick AGAIN?! Feel like I just cant keep myself healthy this semester- maybe the combo of sleep deprivation, alcohol, stress . . my body's susceptible I guess but fuck this shit. Grrr.

So, Ceci proposed the idea of me becoming a manager at work a few days ago. Wouldnt that be an interesting twist in the ABC plot. Definitely food for thought. This summer theyll need to train some new managers since many will be graduating and leaving, would guarantee me a fatty raise, could be interesting . .

In about 20 minutes I will be standing on stage in front of a class presenting a scene with my partner (Crimes of the Heart for those knowledgeable of theater) and for the first time I dont feel too nervous, granted it is only the read through and not a finished performance, but still, I feel like Im progressing. Maybe its just the medicine Im taking ?? who knows, Ill probably piss myself once I get up there, no time to get cocky.

Less than a month before I tour Italy- weeee. Im already making mental lists of things to pack- cannot wait!!

Hmm, so I really gotta do those pesky taxes? Guess I better get on that soon, and study for my test fri., register for classes this summer and shake this damn cold. Ugh.

09:42 pm: I cannot believe it is still March- so many things I thought had happened months ago and then I realized its still the same month, spring break was only weeks ago, damn this semester for creeping by super slowly.

Dri and I signed a lease at the most beutiful apt complex EVER, and will finally be moving out of the ghetto into a 3 bedroom, 3 bath vaulted ceiling, spacious glorious apt. with volleyball, basketball, raquetball, and tennis courts, washer and dryer, dishwasher, swimming pool, gym, dog parks, car washing ports, alarm systems . . amazing. Finally moving out of the student ghetto and for pretty much the same price. Ill have my own bathroom! and we'll share on office! Yay!

I performed my monologue today in the only tolerable class I have this semester and my nerves were going wild. Hate being in front of the class, but I think i did ok and our next project is with a partner so that will take some of the focus off of me and maybe I can relax a little.

Yesterday was our little Matthews 21st birthday- super fun night. We partied at the Parkers house and had a blast. Some characters were out last night and one in particular kept river dancing in the house- good wholesome entertainment, thought I was in lord of the dance all of a sudden. Too weird.

Today I slept through a quiz- yikes- good news is he drops the lowest quiz grade, bad news is Ive already missed one and bombed one- pretty much screwing myself over here. However, i asked him how much the quizzes were worth once and he told me 5%, thats nothing, so hopefully Im still in the clear, just need to rock the shit out of the next test and paper. Paper which is due Mon and in response to a book we were assigned to read, a book that I cannot make myself open no matter how hard I try. Well see how that goes. :P

My Jen is off in Cali interviewing for grad schools- good luck, I love you!

Anybody else loving the shit ouf of the weather lately? Tomorrow I may read by the pool after work- mmmm, I love sunshine- yay for florida! Off to occupy myself with anything other than the Kingdom of Matthias in an effort to feel productive without actually completing any necessary tasks. Weee

05:45 pm: mini vacation
So Tuesday I worked all morning and then got a surprise visit from Jenim, we ate lunch, shopped and decided we needed a break from Gainesville, simple as that. So we packed a bag, took a shower and headed to Tally for the night. We crashed at Erick and Volkerts for what became two nights, smoked hookah, watched tv, ate a LOT, and bummed around for two days. I couldnt get enough sleep, funny how you dont even realize how exhausted you are until you have time and all you can do is sleep. Never realized I was so tired. We drove back this afternoon and Im now trying to actually be productive: laundry, cleaning, homework . . :P Maybe for spring break I can just lay on the beach and sleep- one whole week of warm sunny napping- cant think of anything nicer. Only two weeks to go . . weeeeee . .

07:46 pm: I LOVE MAIL!
I got a package today and the second I saw it I knew what it was, my heart fluttered, my stomach sank, the room got quiet while I tore through cardboard and styrofoam and finally unveiled my beautifully restored digital camera!! Couldnt be more excited!!! I missed it so much- weeee!! Yay for warranties and cameras, boo for dead batteries :P

Today was long with classes and when finally freed I went with Jeff and Matt to shop for gifts for their women, too funny to watch boys shop. Theyre silly. Now Im going to be a gross old lady and watch tv, scrapbook and maybe eat some pizza (i MAY or may not be obsessed with the dippin strips) Yay for bummin it guilt free :) I earned this pizza right about the time this morning when my uterus decided to shed its lining with a vengeance.

Doing nothing, weeeee
