4 more finals until I'm officially halfway though college.
Weird.

I get to come home on Tuesday morning! I'm taking a bus at 4 a.m. actually, because I need to be in Chicago for an internship meeting at noon. Fun, right?
Then, back to school on Friday to pick up my belongings and hangout with the boyfriend's fam before his graduation on Saturday.
THEN, I officially start my internship on Monday, along with work.

It's gonna be a crazy busy summer, but I couldn't be more excited. I get to go to the Pi Phi convention in Arizona during July, which should be great, though I'm nervous about flying and being alone for four days. I also get to go to Country Thunder with 99.5. I know, I'll be working, but it will still be fun. My mom also got Cubs tickets for August. I haven't been to a Cubs game since I was like, 12 years old. AND, of course, I have a house full of best friends in Peoria that I can run away to when I need to have some fun, especially during Greeeek Weeeeekend.

And of course, the thing I am looking forward to the most is seeing all my friends from home. I've missed you all so much.

I've never been one to dwell on the little things. That is, unless the little things were part of one really BIG thing. But even then, I usually like to look at the big picture...everything is great, I've got a good life, great friends, supportive family...blah, blah, blah.

But man, am I sick of everything right now. I need it to be summer. Now.

I got an promotions internship this summer at U.S. 99.5 and I'm pumped. But I still have five weeks left of school. I want to be done with the meetings, the lack of sleep, the dependency on coffee to get me through the day. It might be my fault...I probably shouldn't have taken on so much. I think I expected too much from myself. I just want a break.

And you know what's funny?

As soon as it is over, I'm going to miss it.

I can sum up our friendship in two words.

Blue Pizza.

I love and miss you.

it's about time i had a good day!

#1. dinner with dr. modiano and his wife - he's basically taking me, ellie and hillary out to eat, because we show up everyday to class and laugh at his jokes. i really do love the guy! and obviously he loves us pi-phis!
= free meal and a good reference for resumes!

#2. aced my psychology exam - i only studied for hours and hours and if i pull of an A and the test and go to the extra credit session, then I'll be able to pull of a B and that, combined with hopefully all A's, will almost guarantee a spot on the deans list!
= $100 for every A and a better GPA!

#3. paycheck - yeah, didn't know i had two waiting for me in the office. that's 70 bucks for the rest of the year. which is 2 weeks. now what should i do with it?!
= i don't have to worry about buying booze when i'm done with finals!

#4. goodie basket - my mommy sent me a 'brain food' basket that i get to pick up on saturday. yayyyy!
=free, yummy food! (and proof that my mommy cares about me!)

anyways, it's been a good day so far
and hopefully it will continue!!

Abraham is a Hopeless Romantic

In the midst of a midnight flurry
Caught in the lights of Lincoln Avenue
I watch the river run it's course
From this abandoned bench for two

Thoughts of late afternoon reflections
On the rivers blossoming shore
Bring me back to the beginning
When I knew what I was fighting for

Feelings of late summer evenings
Spent barefoot and carefree
The colors around us were fading fast
But I was too in love to see

The smell of autumns thick breeze
Through your smoke-scented hair
Enbers burn out in the fallen leaves
But I was too burnt out to care

Alone again on Lincoln Avenue
But to my surprise
The river still flows in the absence of
You

Yehhhh....creative writing, what?!?!?

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 03:17:21 GMT

back at schooool
but only for another three and a half weeks!
i love it here with all my heart
but i can't wait to get away from all the school work

and, after 2 grueling hours sitting at cheeseburger in paradise
I GOT THE JOB!
i had to take a 30-min assessment quiz to see if i was qualified
and go through two interviews with the owners
but it was worth it
cuz now i get to be a freakin parrothead!
and it seeems so much better than bennigans
and a lot more fun!
i get to wear jeans and hawiian clothes
and i only have to handle three tables at a time
compared to handling six at bennigans
and it's SO much busier
so i know i'll be mkaing some mad mula
and it looks like such a fun place to work!

anyways, back to school
i need these weeks to be over
i need to clean my room
i need to unpack
i need to shower
i need to do laundry
i need to read for english
i need to get out of here!

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 15:04:30 GMT

god, it is absolutely beautiful outside!
i know, i keep on going on and on about it
but i love it so much!

yesterday, we had dinner on the quad again
though i felt like complete crap
i'm sick, but in that head cold kind of way
you would think with sprin basically here
that all the sneezing and sniffling and coughing would go away
but noooooo!

on another note, i'm coming home thursday night
and i'm planning on taking it easy
so if anyone is gonna be home for the weekend
gimme a call
or anyone that IS home
(brendan, mallory, megan, alex, whoever!)
gimme a call and we'll go get a cup of coffee
or see a movie or something
:)

i can't wait to see you guys
and i'm even more excited that school is over in less than a month
and i can spend the summer at home!

Fri, 07 Apr 2006 20:26:59 GMT

i just can't get over just how beautiful it is outside
i couldn't walk through the quad without having to dodge frisbees
and jump over sunbathers

and i was going to go work out
until my wonderful boyfriend convinced me to go over to the house instead
'you can get your exercise jumping on the trampoline'
(imagine it in a deep, dumb jock voice)
so, i guess i'm gonna start my friday night early
and have a couple of beers and throw some bags
and enjoy the weather

how comes the sunshine
makes me feel
like all my problems
have dissappeeared!?

Wed, 05 Apr 2006 22:16:32 GMT

it is SOOOO beautiful out today!

i already took a walk with my baby
now it's time for dinner in the quad!

that is...if we can find an open space

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 21:18:24 GMT

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:23:35 GMT

seriously, it's snowing outside!
what the hell?
i want to go back to florida
and lie on the beach all day and drink pina coladas

i miss florida and the warm weather
i think it might have been one of my favorite vacations ever
we got to see dolphins on wave runners
go to a boston red sox game
eat AWESOME food
go to the shrimp festival

it was great

then i came back and it was cold
but i got to see brett
we went out to eat, hit up the batting cages
played the bowling game in my basement for an hour
(for all of you guys who don't know, i got this awesome bowling game you NEED to play!)
and yesterday i did some job hunting
and got sick
it sucked
so i just watched tv for the rest of the day

but im better now
so, gimme a call and we'll hang out!

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 00:49:40 GMT

i'm on the bus home right now
at isu
and for some reason i get internet
cool, huh?

so, just saying hi!

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 21:46:14 GMT

i can't believe how grown up i am

by the way, i've changed my major
i am now a public relations major
which me and andy have decided means that
i'm just plain evil
but at least i'll be able to choose where i live
and still be able to find a job
instead moving wherever they need me

i watched the road to perdition last night
and ate tuna with the boy
and i realized that it wasn't a very good movie
ice harvest wasn't a good movie either
why are all the crappy movies filmed by us?

but a the green mile
now, THAT was a good movie
a little long, maybe 3 hours
i cried for 2 of them
they should of filmed that by us

my english teacher is absolutly nuts
and made us guess what he was thinking all hour
while he 'sucked a mint'
what an effin weirdo
by the way, we never figured it out

i'm going to florida over spring break
well, for the first half of it
i'm so pumped
i need to lie on a warm sunny beach

but it is beautiful today
bretts picking me up in 15 minutes
we're gonna go hang at lower bradley park
and dodge the frisbee golfers
and play on the swings
because it's free and fun

bye!

that's right....i did it....

the Adventurer
Test finished!

you chose AX - your Enneagram type is SEVEN.

"I am happy and open to new things"

Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute
to the world.

How to Get Along with Me

Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.

Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.

Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.

Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.

Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.

Don't tell me what to do.

What I Like About Being a Seven

being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down

being spontaneous and free-spirited

being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.

being generous and trying to make the world a better place

having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures

having such varied interests and abilities

What's Hard About Being a Seven

not having enough time to do all the things I want

not completing things I start

not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing;
not making a commitment to a career

having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies

feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship

Sevens as Children Often

are action oriented and adventuresome

drum up excitement

prefer being with other children to being alone

finesse their way around adults

dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up

Sevens as Parents

are often enthusiastic and generous

want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life

may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive

ok, so funny story....

my roomies boyfriend was in class
and the teacher was discussing sperm
and informed the class that sperm actually has sugar in it
one of the girls asks
'then why doesn't it taste sweet?'
she realizes what she says and turns red
the teacher responds
'because you taste sugar with the tip of your tongue
not the back of your throat'
needless to say
the girl ran out of the room crying

that story made my day
and so did random serenades
and ballet lessons in english

11 out of the 12 miners didn't survive
family members and the public were told that all 12 were still alive
and that it would only be hours until they were rescued
but that wasn't true

and it's so sad
to have your hopes lifted after a terrifying 24 hours
and then crushed to the ground just hours later
as if losing someone wasn't hard enough

it's just so sad
