oh me oh my i'm ANGRY

2005-01-19T05:41:58Z

So tomorrow I'm going to Bergen to register for my classes. I really am leaving it for the last minute. Today was a really really rough day. It's been a rough week in general but today really topped it because at least every other day had some kind of redeeming point. Today just totally sucked. Okay well I did get some clothes but that was definitely totally balanced out by my realization that I have gone up yet another size pants. Part of me (the lazy part) doesn't care. The other side of me (the vain part) really does care. It's really a matter of which side is easier for me to deal with. I think lazy wins over vain. I get to sit on my ass all day and tinker with my computer.

So today a bunch of family stuff happened which I won't get into but suffice to say that I will probably be moving out of my house in the next few weeks.

Then I went shopping with my grandma to the mall. That was nice. I left my purse in the dressing room. Not so nice .. stupid me i know. But I wasn't thinking clearly since you know, my grandma likes to go shopping at 9:30 in the morning. Very early for me. Like I said, laziness over vanity. It's easier that way. Then I went back to get my purse. It wasn't anywhere. I had my 2 credit cards, 60 bucks, and my school IDs all in there. i think i may have my bergen county id in there too. I really really hoped that someone nice and honest would have picked it up.. but just my luck. I went home soon as i realized that I wasn't gonna find my purse anywhere. I checked my balance online, and i had no credit limit left. mind you I had a 1000 dollar limit on that card, and a 750 limit on my Victoria's secret card. which I absolutely cannot figure out how to cancel. But i canceled my other card fine, which was good because someone rang up like a thousand bucks worth of stuff apparently. what a bitch! I am so pissed right now. What kind of jerk does that?? So whatever .. then i couldn't go out with any of the 3 people who asked me to just cause i figured with everything goin on with my fam and all this crap i had better not. So i stayed in playing civilization II on my compy all day.

It's been a rotten day, seriously.

what's been goin on

2004-10-30T08:13:51Z

so whats been going on.. i took summer classes at tcnj, came back to ridgefield. got a job at the pool as a receptionist. Then got a job at a cafe in edgewater. after that i got at job at barnes and noble, in the cafe. I'm still there and i really like my job, but it's rough working like 35 plus hours a week. i'm doing really well at bergen .. hopefully i'll be able to go to tcnj by fall..if i can afford it.. but if not then i'm gonna graduate bergen and then who knows maybe i'll take some summer classes at tcnj if nothing else. I think that'd be a good idea.. get myself back into the swing of things at a real college while there aren't really many people around. you know.. the whole add thing. okay i'm going to sleep. it's been a rough day..

...so i hopped on the freeipods bandwagon .. I don't wanna be the only person without one =)
James got his like a week or two ago so it's not a scam .. all you have to do is sign up (preferably using my link) and complete one offer (the ebay one does not require a credit card) and refer five friends. They need to complete one offer. I did the ebay one, bid on something popular, and someone already bid higher than me .. so I'm all set .. I just need people to sign up now .. using my link which is in my AIM profile .. and right here..

Free ipod .. you know you want one =)

for you people who have free email accounts and can't sign up for ebay w/out a credit card.. if you make an email account here http://www.yoggin.com ebay apparently doesn't ask for a credit card .. i don't know for sure but if you wanna try it go ahead

I have issues with this

School

2004-07-27T14:08:11Z

it's gotten to the point where i don't even give a crap anymore .. i haven't had a summer, i'm sick of school, i know i haven't worked all that hard in total, but even so, the work that i do do, and the stress of actually going to class (or of not going to class and stressing about not going) is starting to get to me. I feel like i'm getting burned out .. i don't want to deal with this anymore, i really can't take it, i mean i haven't even had a summer yet. i'm going to have like three weeks then i have to go back to school .. what the fuck.

you know three weeks in may of no school, then like 10 weeks of school (which is practically a semseter right there) then three weeks more is not a fucking summer. I'm so sick of it! I mean i have class three days a week instead of the four I had the first session, but you know, it's from 8AM till 12:45PM and I can't take it. I mean by 10 i'm going stir-crazy. i'm just not the kind of person who can sit still through all that. we get like two five minute breaks the whole time, and I can't do that.

I mean the class part is until 10:30, and if we actually ended that then, and had the lab at 10:45 like it says we're supposed to, I think I could do that .. but as it goes I can't do it. I know it's a waste of money but i warned my dad that i'd rather go to work and get paid for it than take a class i'm probably not going to need .. but he said that i couldn't get a refund if i withdrew and he's right .. however i probably coulda made the money working so it wouldn't have cost him anything .. it just would have been a waste for myself .. which i don't mind so much, as long as it's just me that feels the effects .. goddamn i just want to have someone go to school for me, and I'll just go back to sleep and sleep for a few years .. wake me up when i'm a PhD. (yeah right)

My Mini-Vacation

2004-07-22T06:37:11Z

What I did on my Mini-vacation.
By Cristina Colom (yeah i'm corny)

Well anyways, what I did the past few days...and what I'm going to do the next few days. I went to Ocean City to the beach house Nick and Matt rented with their friends. I've spent about 10 hours total on public transportation the past 2 days. I left TCNJ at like 12:55. I had all these directions written down but the bus driver gave me better ones. So I took the light rail to some transfer station. It took about 45 minutes or so. There was this guy in front of me, he was reading something, and, dork that I am, kept trying to see what he was reading. after about thirty seconds i decided that i didn't really care and I went back to crocheting stuff. about half way there I needed to know what time it was so i asked him and he started talking to me. of course the convo turned to his book, it was by steinbeck. He recommended I read "tortilla flat" also by steinbeck. I'm to email him a full report on how i liked it =P i'm such an english dork.

On the bus to the Atlantic City Transfer Station I sat next to a very very nice lady who kept talking in her cell phone, she was about 60 i'd say. maybe 55ish...and she saw me crocheting. She was so nice! She showed me what I was doing wrong and how to fix it. She asked me if i knew how to knit, I said no, but i might have some needles in my bag. I did'nt but I had two crochet needles of the same size, so she taught me how to knit on two backwards crochet needles. Talk about improv. She gave me her card, in case i ever need to buy a house =P haha.

I FINALLY made it to ocean city, then i had to find the house, I asked the bus driver but he was wrong so i asked a mechanic, and he was right. I found the house, and I was exhausted. But I got to watch as they played an enthralling game of Risk haha. Well I was crocheting the whole time so i didnt mind. Then after that me and Matt went on the boardwalk together. He got me a burger cause I was hungry. He really is one of the nicest people I know hands down. We then got some (freaking expensive!!) Ben and Jerry's. Mmmm. After that we headed back to the house, where we watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force. So so funny.

Then they all decided to play another fun-filled game of Risk. Nick didn't wanna play so me and him went to play DDR in the arcade. (Mind you it was about 2AM by this point) we played for a while, then headed back. BTW i HAVE to get a DDR pad cause I suck. Nick still amazes me with his DDR skills. I was basically in awe. So we headed back and walked on the beach a bit, but the police yelled at us. apparently you're not allowed on the beach at night. I think that's stupid. It's the beach. Why can't you walk on the beach?

So we got back and they were on the front porch smoking cigars. Everyone went in but Matt, so I talked to him a bit then he made me a drink cause I asked. idk what it was but it was sooo good. It tasted like that goya coconut soda but better. We sat outside and talked for like an hour. Matt is just...an amazing person. I have to say. I just don't know how to describe the awesomeness that is Matt. I just wish I was going to come back to TCNJ. But no matter. I don't think we're going to grow apart or anything. I have a feeling we're gonna stay as good friends as we are now. After a while we decided to hit the hay. Of course by then it was like 4 in the morning.

The next day, I woke up around 11ish and Matt asked me if I wanted to go get breakfast on the boardwalk. You know me, I never turn down food. so we ate and went back, and watched ATHF some more. Then everyone decided to go to the beach. I sunned a bit (yeah tan!) and went in the water by myself while Matt and Nick and them placed bocci ball. When they were done I got Matt to accompany me into the water. We enjoyed the waves a bit, then his friends came in the water and they all played frisbee. It was a good time. Although I got my ass kicked BADLY by the waves. I tried so hard to dunk nick in the water, but to no avail. I got matt a few times though but idk if it's just cause he let me. =P

We got out around 4:30 and went back took showers and such. They dropped me off at the OCTS (ocean city transfer station) and i waited there a while. I started feeding some fries to a lone seagull in front of me and this old guy. The seagull i think was trying not to call attention to his being fed, but eventually the other gulls took notice. He tried his fiercest to guard his food but the gulls were too much. So he led them on a wild goose (gull?) chase. He finally returned. It was really something to watch. So then I got on the bus, slept almost missed my stop but didn't. Then I waited by the lightrail and one creepy guy tried to talk to me, so I backed off and decided to go to Dunkin Donuts. Then another creepy guy who'd seen the other creepy guy talking to me was like "You shouldn't talk to guys like him, you look very vulnerable and alone. Don't talk to people like that" and i know he meant well but it still kind of made me uneasy so I found the a clump of people and made sure I wasn't alone. I hate giving off the vibe that I'm vulnerable. So I got on the light rail and got to trenton. Then waited for the bus. it was really dark by then so I was a bit uneasy. I was also one of the last people on the bus, I was also uneasy then. I'm starting to not like public transportation so much. So then I got back to TCNJ and tomorrow around noon I'm going with TJ to the beach with his family. Jake's coming too but i'm not sure if he's coming or leaving. I'll find out tomorrow.

I just hope I get really tanned. =) Yay not being pasty!

Oooh I'm so excited!! Bush is coming to rehearse at TCNJ Saturday!! I'm thrilled cause i'm gonna let scotso and amanda use my shower so they dont' have to use the public ones, and i'm going to make them pasta =) hopefully i'll get to see the show idk if i'll have money for it though, if it costs anything. ah well...

Okay it's bedtime. i hope I have a good time tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I will though.

2004-07-18T06:34:40Z

It's official. (for the most part) I'm not going back to TCNJ. I just can't afford it. I could pay 1600 a year by going to a community college, or 18,000 by going to tcnj with virtually no financial aid. I'm thinking since I'm going to live at home, I'll do well at Bergen which is really close to my house. Maybe I'll be able to transfer back to TCNJ by my senior year if I get stellar grades and (even though I know TCNJ is stingy with them) get a scholarship, or some sort of financial aid from somewhere.

I'm planning on visiting TCNJ (provided I can find someone to stay with) twice a monthish. I'm hoping I have enough friends there that I'll be able to do that without imposing on any person. Since I hate taking the train early in the morning and leaving late at night, I'm hoping I'll be able to stay the whole weekend, not nessessarily with the same people though, unless someone insists =P

I'm gonna be so sad to leave though. I've made a lot of awesome friends. Some of them are going to be really, really, really, really hard to leave. You never know what's going to happen in the future. People grow apart and you lose touch...and I hope that doesn't happen because I care about all my friends. Thinking about it depresses me so much. I've been trying to make the best of it since I've decided to switch schools, but it's really starting to get to me...

Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved...

...Well, maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run and when to
Stay in one place

An update of sorts

2004-07-11T04:23:26Z

Well it's been a while. I suppose it's about time for an update. The first thing I want to say is...my obsession with Jon Stewart has only gotten worse. He's my icon. He's on my phone. He's my desktop... it's unhealthy =P.

Coming back to TCNJ is looking more and more doubtful. Oh well.

I've been hanging out a lot with Matt, and when Jonaid was here I'd hang out with him and Christina occasionally. To study mainly. (They were both in my Spanish class and Christina lives in the room below mine)

I've been so bored I've been compulsively eating again. That's bad. I've also been watching a massive amount of Family Guy, which is good. I can seriously quote so much Family Guy. I think it's unhealthy too. My 'eating because I'm bored' is certainly unhealthy.

I came across an old valentine's day card today. it made me feel really wierd. I don't know...sometimes you just wonder what might have been...but all in all I think I'm glad things turned out the way they did. Well actually I don't know. Cause I was also going through my old DeadAim logs, deleting them all, cause I don't have Deadaim anymore (by the way if anyone has a version that's compatible with AIM 5.5 I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a copy) and I was reading some old convos before I hit that delete button... I think that seriously was the worst thing I could have done. It made me feel so crappy.

Wow I just got a phone call. And this phone call made me realize...it doesn't matter one bit. I really am happy the way things are.

One thing I have to mention...sometimes I wonder exactly how sincere people are. I mean I'm pretty guillible, I'll admit that. (Guys, who's Old Crusty!? Seriously guys! Who's Old Crusty??) Do people take advantage of that? I don't like to believe anyone could be lying to me or misleading me, i mean most people don't like to believe that either, but how many times have I been not told the truth to and just believed it? It's kind of a disconcerting thought.

By the way...I found this funny little program that lets little men pop up in the bottom of my screen and do a little striptease in the corner. It's only a tease, no actual nudity or anything, but that's good. It's great though there's music and everything. It's actually pretty funny.

By the way. This may disturb some people, (the fact that I know this) but there are no nude or semi-nude pictures of Jon Stewart online. Just so you know. So no one tries to go looking or anything. Or would I be the only person on the planet who would care? not that I actually went looking or anything. or if i did it would be purely for curiosity's sake. really. i swear.

2004-06-22T18:13:14Z

I feel so sick right now there's not really anything I can do but this cause my everything hurts right now.

What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
ooh bunches of old movies, "Carousel" "the Ghost and Mrs. Muir" "Gone with the Wind" and "Funny Girl" and various disney movies (yeah disney, so what?)

If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?
I'd get my ears pinned back. There's a reason I hate wearing my hair up.

Do you have a completely irrational fear?
I don't know why but I have a huge thing about other people touching my face, I totally freak out.

What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moment?
I can't shut up and I really start rambling.

Do you have too many love interests?
No, but I think I may be the objects of too many people's interest. (more than one person is too many, and no it's not a good thing, it's a very very bad thing)

Do you know anyone famous?
No, although my ex boyfriend's aunt is a WNBA coach, and apparently she's really good.

Describe your bed.
Here at school? its a dorm room bed. It has a headboard and no footboard. A horribly hard matteress but I put a foamy eggcrate thingie on it, and a cottony bed pad thingie, so it's really soft now.

Spontaneous or plan?
spontaneous, with maybe a vague idea of a sort of plan

Do you know how to play poker?
kind of

What do you carry with you at all times?
cell phone and purse. In my purse you can almost always find some food (wrapped, not just crumbled around) and a drink. It's a big purse, but you'd be surprised what I can fit into a little purse.

What do you miss most about being little?
not worrying about anything, no stress, I really really miss not having crazily high stress levels. I almost forget what that's like.

Are you happy with your given name?
yeah i really like it. I hate my middle name though

How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?
does that count IM on my cell phone? because if it doesn't, then it'd take a whole lot of money, if it did count IM on my phone, then I don't think that I could be persuaded. It's like my lifeline to talk to my friends back home and my family because I can't always be talking on the phone.

like yourself and believe in yourself?
I mostly like myself, but I have to work more on believing in myself.

Do transient, homeless, or starving people bother you?
They only bother me in the way that I want to help them, and I really can't, at least not all of them.

Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
mostly. I like people in general, and it's really easy to be nice to people you like. There's only a few people I'm not crazy about, but I try to be nice to them too.

Do you spend more time with your boyfriend or your friends?
when there's a guy in my life, he's usually at school, and my friends are usually at home, so there's your answer. If i had a choice, I'd want to split it pretty evenly but that probably wouldn't happen

What's one thing you wish you could do but can't?
write kick ass papers in one sitting it takes me foreeeevvvverrrr to write a a paper, and then they're not what you'd call kick ass.

What is your ideal marriage location?
In a really pretty garden with my close friends and family

Which musical instrument do you wish you could play?
the guitar is definitely the one I want to learn most, then the double bass... I have to get craig to teach me

Favorite fabric?
hmmm. i'm not too sure what it is but it's unbelievably fluffy and soft and you find it on some stuffed animals.

Something you love and hate?
i'm going to go with the conventional, but so true answer... boys.

What kind of bedding do you use?
Didn't we go over this? But if you insist. I have a fitted sheet, a quilt, three throw blankets, (hey i get cold at night) and one stolen pillow that's really really comfy.

Do you tell your friends about your sex life?
Just the Homies and lets put "sex" in quotes.

What's the one language you want to learn?
I want to learn more sign language than just the finger alphabet that me and Marian made such good use of in Chorus all through high school. And I want to learn spanish better, for being Cuban in a family that speaks spanish, I know astonishingly little Spanish.

what do you order at a bar?
Cherry Coke, preferably made with regular coke and grenadine. With two maraschino cherries in it. Or a Shirley Temple.

Have you ever pierced your body parts?
Not myself, but I have two holes in each ear. One set from when I was a few months old, and one from a year and a half ago...my parents didn't notice for about 5 months.

Do you have tattoos?
nope

Would you ever admit to having done plastic surgery any kind if confronted?
oh yeah, why not?

Do you drive stick?
I don't drive PERIOD. I have no license and I can't drive any kind of car.

What's one trait you hate in a person?
I can't stand bigotry and arrogance. yes i know thats two. I can't count. English major you know.

What kind of watch(es) do you wear?
I had one fossil watch, silver, i loved it. the battery died. I now can't find it to replace it. so i use my cell phone.

frivolous purchase?
all the time, unless I have someone telling me not to. This is why I never shop alone.

Do you consider yourself materialistic?
I don't know. I guess not really.

What do you cook the best?
Truffles, and cheesecake, from scratch, oh my!
and basically any kind of baked good, i'm not too great at cooking real food.

Favorite writing instrument?
colored pencil. But you can't really erase them, so I guess I prefer those marker type pens. But I've always wanted to use a quill pen.

Do you prefer to stand out or blend in?
Hmm. depends on the crowd really. Big crowds I prefer to blend in. Small crowds I prefer to stand out a little more, I guess.

Do you have anything monogrammed?
A towel from about 10 years ago. it's almost in shreds but its so old i've just gotten attached to it.

What kind of books do you like to read?
ooooh okay here we go, historical fiction, classics like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary, etc, cookbooks are like my porn, science fiction and fantasy, like any of the Xanth books, or the Pern books, or "Magic Kingdom for Sale: SOLD!" and of course Harry Potter.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?
Pay off my college loans, finish college, without worrying about going into debt, maybe buy a condo in Florida without worrying, get my license, and a decent car, without worrying, basically I'd live a finacially moderate, but worry free life. A few things I'd really splurge on, a really really nice kitchen, a great computer, and an awesome tenor sax. And I'd buy my dad a boat and condo in florida.

What's one thing you're a sore loser at?
"Lets gang up on Cristina monopoly"
and "Guess Who".

If you don't like a person, how do you show it?
I try not to be around them too much.

Do you cry in front of friends?
Yeah, I do on occasion. It just happens, but that's why the Homies are so awesome, they're always there for me.

What kind of first impression do you think you give to people?
Hmmm...I don't know. That I'm a bit eccentric maybe, that I'm very energetic, and possibly a bit ditzy.

What's one thing you like to do alone?
most things. I like to be alone unless I really want to be with people. Thats why I love having my own room this summer in the Townhouses. I HAVE to do schoolwork alone unless it's something like Spanish.

Are you a giver or a taker?
Both, I like to give. I also like to recieve, not take. There's a difference.

When's the last time you cried?
a few days ago. family issues. combined with school issues. combined with sleep issues. combined with...well you get the idea. it was an overwhelming issue of issues.

Favorite communication method?
depends on what's being communicated, and to who. but I prefer in person communication in general. But IM comes a close second when thats not possible.

How many drinks before you're tipsy?
I don't really drink, so I have no idea. probably not too much

Favorite kind of porn?
Cookbooks are my porn. I think I said that already. I see a recipe and I HAVE to cook it. But if you mean real porn, Lord of the G-Strings was awesomely funny. Especially watched on a scrambled channel in a dorm room full of guys yelling "It's a boob!" Makes me think of a "Friends" episode.

Do you ever have to beg?
not really

How often do you have sex?
oh you know me, i'm just like a rabbit =P

Have you ever done any illegal drugs?
no, never, and i never will

Do you think you're cute?
sometimes. I think i'm alright.

Do you have problems changing clothes in front of friends?
no not really. I mean changing amid a busload of guys and girls made it no big deal. If you've ever been in marching band/colorguard/drum corps, you probably know what i mean.

What's the most painful experience you've ever had?
Once I couldn't turn my head for about a week. Also that burn I had on my right forearm from my straightening iron was a bitch. I ususally forget my painful experiences though, so I doubt those are the most painful.

My week was great, wonderful, stellar even! I got a 97 on my spanish test, among other awesome things that have been happening. I absolutely love my life. The only thing that would make me happier if there was some way i could get 10.40, or a ride back to Ridgefield right after my class thursday. It ends at three fifteen and if i skedaddle, I can make it to Kiran and Daisy's block party for the prom. I'm not going to get to see two of my three best friends all dolled up for their prom =( boo... that's the only thing putting a damper on my week. that and I have way too many people who call me. seriously my phone rings five times an hour, don't get me wrong i love everyone I communicate with, but still... if its not a call it's a text message, if it's not a tm its a voice mail...when does it all end!?

Okay i'm done with the melodrama I have to get my laundry now.

YAY!!

2004-06-04T16:41:58Z

I GOT HOUSING!!! I'm so excited! I'm in a townhouse. I'm so excited!!! Did I mention that?? Wow I don't have to worry about making a six hour commute every day. So yay! Matt is living in a townhouse nearby, we're gonna hang out, so at least I won't be like I was in Louisiana, going half crazy from not seeing anyone who wasn't under 8 and over 35.
HAPPY HARRY POTTER DAY!!!! I can't WAIT to see it! It's going to be a "Hogwart's Homies" weekend in the truest sense of the word. YAY! I have a feeling I'm going to be in an awesome mood until sometime next week. When I'm sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Except work. Bah! Well I think I'll even be happy doing that. Because I only have two classes I don't have to worry too much about being totally inundated with work, so I won't be majorly stressed.
Oh and I cut my hair. I chopped it off. It's gone. Well not totally. But it's shorter than I've had it since I cut it in 10th grade. That was a funny story.
It was right before a concert, and I cut my hair just above my shoulders. When I got to the concert, I saw Anne, Marian's sister, and asked where Mar was. She took one look at me and was like omg and she started laughing. I eventually found marian, and her hair looked just like mine. We hadn't said anything about it beforehand, but everyone thought we'd planned it out. We couldn't convince them otherwise.
Okay well it's time for me to go take my Spanish test. Adios!

Oy! I have found a man!

2004-06-02T08:29:08Z

So I'm watching Pride and Prejudice, it's my favorite book, and the A&E version of it is very good. Colin Firth makes a terrific Mr. Darcy, and I think I've found my new lover =) John Stewart is still my main honey though. He's very funny, and adorable too, (I have yet to see him in person, but I'm determined to get tickets to the Daily Show eventually) but Colin Firth is just really really hot. I don't think I've ever really liked someone just because they were really really hot, but I think this time I'll make an exception. Although he does have a very sexy accent, and I think the 19th century costumes may have something to do with the attraction. *sigh* they don't make them like they used to. (I'm not even sure if I'm talking about men or clothes...)

I go back to Louisiana today. I'm very excited. Harry Potter is on Friday!! Every day I get more excited about it. We're going to have a good old fashioned Hogwart's Homies weekend, the four of us. We're going to have such an awesome time. Although I have a feeling everyone in the movie theater is going to think we're either really crazy or annoying or both. Every time we go out, whether to the movies or to eat at Outback, we seem to scare people. The waiter at Outback one I think thought we were just nuts...we couldn't stop laughing the entire time we were there...We came to the conclusion that if we were this crazy sober, that if we ever go out and do drink, we'll probably be the most calm, serious people in the world, talking about serious world issues and stuff.

It's time for me to pack. I love the way Mr. Collins puts his hand to his mouth every time he's interrupted by someone, especially when he's interrupted by Lady Catherine. It's quite comical.

Okay it's bed time. I have to pack then see if I can do something about my hair tomorrow...a cut or some such.

If I were to say I need to get laid would I be out of line? okay okay, chocolate is a perfectally and probably preferable substitute. This is probably the effect Colin Firth had on me. It'll pass eventually I suppose.

There is hope, but...

2004-06-01T21:44:32Z

Okay now, I registered for classes and now I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for them...Well I have 645.00 left from my loans last semeseter, my dad said he'd pick up the balance with his credit card, and while I work in July I'll pay him back with the money I make. EVERY SINGLE paycheck is going towards that. I'm going to try to get a second job somewhere. With my dad probably. And I'll see if i can get a job sometime after in July after three thirty. (after my other job) So I'll have three jobs, and i'm going to see if I can babysigt. I'm probably going to kill myself with work and such but I absolutely have to do it, and its my own damn fault. Damn and I hear there's probably not any housing for this session...so what I'm going to do is take the train a total of four hours a day. Plus bus time...(I DON'T DRIVE GOD DAMMIT) Not only is it going to be tedious but its going to be expensive. I'm going to see if my dad will loan me his laptop so i can do my work on the train. Aww Matt just told me that if i ever get burned out riding the train i can stay in his room once in a while, although since he doesn't have that neat futon that was in him and Nick's room this year I'm going to have to sleeping bag it up. No worries. Hm...MAYBE i can find people who live nearby and stay with them once in a while, so that I can just stay with one or the other of them once in a while so I don't have to ride the train every single day. Because I KNOW that would suck majorly. Anyone nearby willing to let me crash at their place once in while? It'd most definitely save my sanity. I'm not much trouble =) really!

Goals

2004-05-28T18:35:34Z

So spending the past what feels like million years in Louisiana, and walking around in the Baton Rouge Library, which is quite well stocked, I've decided to make a list of books that I really want to read and re-read, and movies I want to watch. And everyone knows I've see way too few movies. So I guess I'm going to ask if anyone could suggest any good books or movies that I could add to my list. I just feel like with my taste in books there are lots of books that I probably wouldn't pick out for myself, and as a consequence, I wouldn't read some very good books. I'm going to keep my list written down here so I don't forget.

I'm trying to make myself set goals too. I kind of just meander through life with some general goal (general like, graduate college or get a job teaching) of what I want or what I want to do, and don't really set smaller goals for myself. I've been thinking lately that it's really important to challenge yourself, and unfortunately for me I've been very easy on myself. I'm not too happy with the person I've become, although I do like myself well enough. So besides reading through a list of good books and watching a list of good movies, I want to set some other goals for myself, and see if I can achieve them...because I don't think I've even had New Years resolutions...well i may have had a couple, but I don't think I was ever too serious in making them. So I'm just going to start kind of easy and make myself some goals and such just for the summer.And see where that takes me.

First of all is to take summer classes and raise my GPA up one point. That's my main one and if any of my other ones get in my way they will have to be put aside. I'm not going to jeopardize it.

By the end of June I would like to lose five pounds. This is going to definitely require discipline and will power. (Two things I don't have too much of, but I'm determined to develop. I've gotten myself hurt for lack of will power ya know) This is going to make me drastically cut down the junk I eat. I should probably cut it out entirely. Hmm. I don't know yet. And every other day I'm going to go running, and do some other exercises. If I were still in Bushwackers that wouldn't be a problem because last summer I lost almost 20 pounds from may, to the end of august.

By the end of the summer I want to have saved a thousand dollars. (okay 800 minimum.)

I want to set aside a minimum of an hour a day to practice my sax...because I missed playing it all year. (that's a fun goal)

Okay that's all for now...I'm going to make a list. sometime soon.
