The Way I See It # 549

Wow I fucking hate Youtube.


In other news, I'm sitting around waiting to go home, and I'm pretty excited to see Mom and Kara. I've cleaned my apartment, for the most part, and I have my windows open because it's such a lovely day.


summer....

The Way I See It # 548

I just got back from the Jackie-O. So many people were there, it was insane. It was Shane and Ganesh's 21st birthdays, so it was a fun night. Surprisingly, Coppola was there! We caught up and talked about our semesters and what's been going on in our lives. It was really awesome to see an old friend. We found out we're both in a class next semester, and I can honestly say I'm pretty excited for that. Having another class with prof. Abse is one thing, but having another friend in there too? That's going to be awesome.

Buut other than that the place was PACKED. So many people there I had no idea who they were or how they knew anyone. but I did see some familiar faces, and I talked with Colleen for a while. I really like her, we don't really hang out much but she wants to, and I'm definitely going to take her up on it. I don't really have a lot of girl friends, so the more the merrier!

I'm still thinking about tattoos... dun dun dunnn.... I don't know if it will ever happen, but looking at pictures and semi-planning one is fun and takes up some of my free time. I've even thought about replicating the design I want into a henna tattoo. I think that would just be a fun project, and I could see if I liked having something on my skin, however temporary. Though the design I really want would be way too complicated for me to replicate on my own, I would definitely need some help...

In other news, I talked to my friend Brendan the other day and it was really great. He's doing a collaborative art project that I'm interested in participating in and so we talked a little bit about that and caught up on our lives and such (this seems to be a reoccuring theme). I'm excited about this project. He's going to make a graphic novel/narrative about childhood memories of the American people. So he's asking all of his friends to contribute a story for him to draw and put together into a book. I love the idea, and I'm excited to start writing my story.

I need to get some sleep.
Nova in the morning!

The Way I See It # 547

So today is my first real day of summer vacation. Well, that's a lie, because my final paper was due on Thursday, BUT I'm here at my apartment by myself with nothing to do-- the mark of summer vacation.

My exams and everything ended, obviously, and I was surprised and ecstatic to find that I received an A in my french class. I really, truly, thought I was going to get a B and I was fine with that. So I am so pleased, and this means I might actually get a 4.0, which would be wonderful. Why? Because this semester kicked my ass, it really did, and if I get a 4.0 it would be completely amazing. I think my mom has been waiting around for school to kick my butt, so this should be good.

As for today I've been apartment hunting all morning, but alas, none of the real estate agencies are open on Saturdays. Figures that would happen on the one day I've been in my apartment without having to rush off to work.

Tomorrow I'm going back up to Northern Virginia for about a week to spend some time at home, and I'll also be driving down to Williamsburg to help Christina move out. Should be some nice quality time with the family.

My agenda for the day includes watching The Girls Next Door (currently happening at this moment), making up lists of things I need to buy in Nova, and also cleaning up my apartment. Due to exam week, my apartment has been shamefully neglected and now it's time to get down to some major cleaning.

I've got to figure out something to fill up my time this summer. I think that most of my time will be spent either working or at the river. Which I certainly don't mind, but I think it might be nice to also have a goal. I would like to go to the gym more, especially since its free for the summer. I think I'll take some classes and that will take up some of my time.

The Way I See It # 546

I think I was uncomfortable with that banner, but this new one seems to suit me just fine.

Tomorrow is a hectic day: 3 exams in a row from 8 AM to 4PM. I hope they all turn out well. I received my first final grade: an A in Archaeology. I was a bit worried, my teacher sent out a scary email about plagiarizing and how he was going to fail anyone that did so. Not that I Plagiarize, but sometimes I wonder if I cited everything after I turn in a paper.

Not only are there 3 exams tomorrow, but I'll also be heading down to UVA for Cinco De Mayo. I'm going to be exhausted, but it's a concert, so it should be fun.

I've been busy, all my friends are busy, Zane has been really busy, I can't wait until everything is over and the summer starts. I'm still applying for jobs, so that hasn't been too successful, but I think everything will be okay.


I need to dry my hair, stat.

So I think I will never be in a finals mind set. Even though i've been studying for days, I only just realized that i have an 8 AM final. That is insane. I don't think it will matter how much I have studied, I will never feel like I'm ready for a French exam. That's just the way it is. I could study all night and still be nervous. Secondly, I have a presentation right after! I have to make my cue cards! and then I still need to memorize a couple slides for my Art History exam. Seriously, I need to get my shit together.


I just need to remind myself, I'm done tomorrow.
