So tonight I wasn't really in the mood to cook, so Abby and I decided to go out to dinner. We ended up going to this place Palmira's, which is right around the corner. We had never been, but it catered to EHS Students, because it has a meal plan card if you're interested. Well anyhow, we go and we get dinner and Abby asks a girl that she knows who works there if they are hiring at all. Well the boss, Roger, comes over and he's talking to Abby about working in an Italian restaurant and blah blah blah. And then he asks Abby if she knows how to make drinks and Abby doesn't know, so I pipe in, I know how to make drinks. Direction shifts (sorry Abby :-( ) and he's all like well do you know how to make a sour apple martini and a cosmo and whats the difference between stoli and bombay and i'm all like yeah, yeah, stoli's a vodka and bombays a gin. So basically I got hired as a service bartender and Abby is starting out as a busser and working her way up to be a waitress. So not only am I going to have New York experience, but it will be bartending experience!!!!! I am soooo excited! I cannot wait to start, which will be on Wednesday. And for those of you who work at the Willows and read my lj, there are no bottle beers only six on tap, tons of wines, but there are not nearly as many cordials and liqueurs as there are at the Willows. I am sooo stoked!!!!

ummm...lj has updated recently. Kind of cool. I think it is trying to compete with the likes of myspace and facebook. Sadly my life revolves around all three so I am kind of excited about this whole change! Besides that, my life is wicked boring and there is no new interesting news.

So this was definitely an interesting weekend home. I missed my train on wednesday because the subway decided to start running local instead of express. Mind you I was already a wee bit late, but still had the subway stayed on its normal schedule then I would have made my train. So I got on the train on Thursday afternoon and I got home a little late, around 3:30 ish...meaning an hour and a half late! For some reason I feel like someone was trying to tell me not to go home...hmmmmm....? So I got home and Maddie, Mom and I went shopping for clothes. Mom spent about $200, about $70 on Maddie, $4.99 on me and the rest on herself. I was proud of her though because she never used to go shopping for herself. Then I went to dinner with Allie. Drama like whoa surfaced, which we dealt with a little bit, but there's still lots of drama, just no me to help Allie through it. And then we drove around and ended up at the one and only Jenni Sayles house. It was fun I must admit. I miss Jenni so it was nice to see her. Then I went home and got up the next morning to work a double. I worked with Meara, which provided me with much comic relief and Jenni came to visit. I got out of work and went out with Jes and Tracy and Paige and Siobhan, which was interesting. I didn't know anyone we went out with and i didn't know anyone at the keg and if Siobhan were not in the same boat as me I probably would have had an even worse time than i did, but hey at least i tried going out with jes and i did get to meet some of her friends. So I ended up at Jenni's house with Kate and we hung out for a while and then went home. On Saturday Kate, Maddie and I went to lunch at the Mew's and then I had to work at five. I actually had a good time at work even though it was wicked slow and I made like no money. Saturday night Jes invited me to another keg, but I wasn't much in the mood to hang out with people I didn't know, so I said no and went to bed early (and by early I mean I watched Gilmore Girls and was in bed by 2:30; I think I'm in denial about my Gilmore Girls obsession). Sunday I was supposed to go to brunch with my father, but he never called so Kate and I sat around waiting for him and then we were like well I guess we'll go to brunch by ourselves, so we did. Kate, Maddie and I eating again. It was fun. Then I went home and packed and went to Jenni's soccer game. That was fun as well. And then I came back here. 'Twas an interesting weekend.

So it's that time again. Playoffs. This is so tough. As if I am not stressed out enough that Pace sucks ass, I have to watch the agony of the Red Sox losing crucial games. But as Red Sox fans know, we keep our faith. The thing that really sucks is that the Yankee's are doing well and I don't like that. As much as I want the Red Sox to win, I want the Yankee's to lose even more. I hate them. And their fans. So Sheera and I are going to go to a Red Sox bar and watch the games. They are going home so it should be a better turn of events.
In other news...my life is pretty boring. I don't do much of anything. I really need to get a job. Like whoa. So we'll see how that works out. If I don't get a job then the likelihood of getting an apartment for the summer isn't too high. And I really want to have a waitressing job and an apartment! After all the shit that has gone on this year in the George, I am so ready to not dorm ever again. I really don't like stupid shit like guest policies and not telling me what is going on with my fucking room. Seriously, I am someone who will check up on things and try to figure stuff out. I don't expect people to come to me and tell me everything, but when I walk around, back and forth, and I don't get any answers because people don't know shit, then I get pissed. Hopefully Pace can show me that they really don't suck, but I highly doubt that!
enough complaining

So quite an eventful few days.
Friday Morning
I wake up kinda fuzzy from a very fun evening Thursday. I make lunch around 12:30. On my way back to my room I see maintenance guys going around knocking on doors saying "Don't run the water for 45 minutes". Note: I was never told this even though they saw me in the hallway. I sit around and watch TV for a long time.
Friday Afternoon
I decide to go to the gym at 2ish. on my way out I see that the lobby is all wet and there are guys trying to fix something in the ceiling. I get back from the gym a little after 3. The guys in lobby still fixing the pipes or something. I try to run water for shower but its brown, conclusion: the water is still shut off. I decide I need some Ben and Jerry's after a long workout (???) so I go to the grocery store and get some Phish Food, because they didn't have New York Super Fudge Chunk! I come back to my room and my toilet is flushing incessantaly, conclusion: water has been turned back on. I go tell maintenance and they say they will be up soon, but are very busy. I go upstairs and listen to music on my computer and I hear something. I assume its someone coming to fix my toilet I go to the door, but before I can get there I see water pouring out of my ceiling. The light fixture in my hallway is filled with water and it is literally pouring down. I run downstairs to tell maintenance,my new best friends, and the guy's like I'll be right up. So I go upstairs and open my door and it is so loud that the girl across the hall opens her door and says "I thought someone had turned on my shower in my room. That sucks for you!". She gave me her garbage can to collect the water. So I have three garbage cans trying to catch all the water and then a maintenance guy comes by and he's like..."Whoa...". !!!!!!!!!!! No shit sherlock. So like fifteen minutes later another maintenance guy comes by and fixes my toilet. I say to him, "Um, what am I supposed to do about the water pouring out of my ceiling? (!I!Hate!You!All!)" So he says to me "We fixed the leak upstairs so you're just going to have to let it drip out. Then we will let the ceiling dry and someone will be in on Monday to scrape the bubbles from the paint and repaint." And then he walked away. Leaving me with three buckets rapidly collecting water. Then three people stop outside my door and tell me that they live in the 623 room. HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really are just the people I want to see, is what I am thinking. But at that point I didn't realize what was to come. So I'm like, "It's ok" and they're all like "I'm so sorry, blah blah blah". They leave. Then, I grab my camera to take some pictures! And I'm taking pictures and I open my closet door and "Oh Shit!" my clothes are all wet because the water is pouring into my closet as well! I am trying to get as much shit out of my closet, luckily all of my shit got wet, and none of Abby's. Who by the way is away all day, so I have to deal with this all by myself.
Friday Evening
My RA, Amy, comes to visit the girl across the hall and sees that its raining in my room. So she comes in and is like "Wow!". So she calls her supervisor and I have a team of RA's in my room. We are writing down everything that got damaged and trying to "plan a course of action". By now its like 7 o'clock. Then the head RA comes in and she's like "We are moving you two out of your room temporarily, but the catch is that we don't have a whole room open so we're splitting you two up." Now I wasn't upset before this, but then I got pissed. I of course just said nothing, but I was furious on the inside. So the RA's leave.
Friday Night
I stare at the mess in my room for a good hour or so, not having any idea of what to do. I then go spend $15 dollars to do my laundry that got ruined. I take my posters off my walls because of course the ones I had put up the day prior, got ruined. And then I sit around watching CNN, because in reality the people in Texas have it much much much worse than I do. Just trying to put some perspective in my life. Abby comes home around 11:30. We wash all the dishes and sit around not knowing what to do. We take a couple tequila shots to lighten the mood. Then around 1:30 we pack some stuff and move into our new, separate rooms.
Saturday Morning
We venture back to our wet room and try to straighten some things up.
Sunday Morning
Still no idea as to what is going on and how long we will be out of our room.
So things are awesome here in New York!

Abby and I got up at 6 AM to work out today. I cannot believe that we actually got up. I mean I had all the intentions of getting up, but I mean come on, I'm not one to get up early and work out of all things. So that was awesome. I just hope that we can keep it up!!! Anyhow, I'll maybe post later about something of interest. Although my life has been really uninteresting because all I do is go to class and study and maybe go out once a weekend. Although last week I did go to Philly to visit my brother, which was a lot of fun. I wasn't so sure that I was going to fit in because I'm 19 and they're between 23 and 28, sooo I was scared it was going to be awkward, but it wasn't. I also got invited to two parties while I was there. I got invited to his friend Liia's halloween party, but I don't know...I may go, and then I got invited to his friend's Andrew and Michelle's New Year's party. Apparently there is this street where there is a parade or party or both and they live on it so they invited me to go to that party. We'll see. It was just nice for them to say anything to me, because they weren't obligated to invite me especially since I live in New York. Hopefully Kate will be joining me for both the parties if I end up going and hopefully she'll stop making lame ass excuses as to why she can't come!!!

So this morning I got up at 9 (my first class is at 2:30) and I ate breakfast (Honey Nut Cheerios) and then I went to the Gym!! I worked out only for an hour, but its a start. Abby and I are going to try to work out tomorrow morning as well. I'm not so sure that it will happen because we will need to get up at 6, but we will see. I would love it if it really did happen though. I want to get a personal trainer. I know its not really necessary, but there are some very good looking beezas that I could see training me! Well thats all for now. I'm off to lunch with Jay.

I just bought tickets to the Red Sox/Yankees game for September 10 and I am wicked excited!!!! Although it is at Yankee Stadium and not Fenway, but whatever. I have never been to Yankee stadium, thank god Jay is going with me! I originally wanted my lovely sister to come, but she won't because it is literally the week that we both go back to school so it is not really the best time for her to be leaving and going to visit me in New York. So since I will not have her for moral support (i.e. so that we can get yelled at by scary angry yankee fans together!) I am bringing my own protection. YAY!
p.s. I'm working every day until I go back to school! hip hip horrrayyyy

Well I am home. It is so sad because I am so bored. I sit around doing absolutely nothing. I get to bed wicked early. Last night I was in bed at 12:30! If I were at school we would just be going out at 12ish. It was crazy. I am glad to be home because it is nice to see Jes and my family and my neighbors. But I miss everyone at Pace (actually only the handful of people who I actually considered my friends!). I MISS ABBY! It was horrible unpacking. I still haven't even finished it yet. There is so much shit. I didn't think I had so much stuff, but it all just collects. I only have one more bag to unpack with books and random shit in it. Kate and I are sharing a room for the summer, which makes me feel really welcomed at home! Hey we're gonna turn your sisters old room into a spare room so that you and Kate can share a room! Greatttt ideaaa. Wow my family is awesome. Oh well, at least we will have some bonding time.
I am desperately searching for apartments for next year. I want one so bad and if we don't end up getting one then I will definitely be getting one for next summer. I don't plan on coming home much. I am addicted to craigslist.com. It is all I ever do, especially now that I am bored out of my mind.
On a brighter note, I am working tonight!

I am so amazingly sad right now! I do not want to go home and I know everyone is saying that, but this really really really sucks. I am going to miss everyone here at the NYU reject school! I still am not thinking that this is my last Friday night out. This is my last weekend to hang out with my friends before we go back to our old lives. I am glad to be going home for a couple reasons, but I am going to miss my lifestyle here way too much. I LOVE FREEDOM! (something I lack at home)!

Writing in livejournal is way overrated. I never update anymore and I am fine with that, but when other people don't update their journals I get mad because then I cannot be stalkerish and know their every single move. I am slightly pathetic. So here is my attempt to update.
- Kate and Kathleen came to visit last weekend and it was great. We had a lot of fun and I owe Kathleen for everything that she did for me. Kate was able to meet Jay so I feel really good about that. We took a horse and carriage ride through Central Park, which I will admit was fun despite being completely touristy and dorky. We raided that Gap and I got a few things. I forget how exhilarating it is to buy things. Like to purchase clothes and jewelry. It was fun. I don't get to go shopping much because I am wicked poor. No lie, wicked poor.
- Next weekend Calie and Paige are coming to visit. That will be a lot of fun. Hopefully it will be beautiful out.
- The Red Sox are awesome, despite their not so hot record this season.
- School will be out in just four short weeks and I am not happy about that. Yes I want to go home, but I don't want to leave here. But Abby and I are going to get an apartment next year. No matter what, we will get one. I am not going to be satisfied unless we have one. And I am getting so excited because I can't wait to decorate it and we are going to have dinner parties once a week. And it will be so awesome!!! Eeeeeee!!! I cannot wait!
- Abby and I are going to get an apartment next year!
- I am going to have an apartment next year that is all my own!
- We will be able to have dinner parties next year!
- There is nothing exciting going on in my life besides the fact that I am going to get an apartment next year and not dorm!

It is wicked early in the morning and I am wide awake. Thanks to my personal alarm clock that likes to call anywhere between nine and ten-thirty. It's ok though because despite the shitty weather, it is a good day. I am feeling like I am going to be mega-productive because it is the last day of spring break and I have been absolutely the laziest I have ever been in my life. It is wonderful. But I do have a lot of work that I need to do so I am hoping to get a lot of it done today. If my body decides that it would like my lungs to stay where they are and not let me hack them up!
So the other day was in the mid-50's and it was beautiful! We went up to Central Park and walked around, but before that we went to Tiffany! Oh my god! The jewelery in there is crazy ridiculous. Some of it is just so tacky and ugly and some of it is absolutely fucking gorgeous. The second floor was devoted to engagement and wedding rings. I swear to god there were the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. But that's not what I wanted to talk about! So we walked around Central Park and it was so gorgeous and warm. I was in a long sleeved shirt and had a zip-up hoodie on and I was warm. It was so great because the sun was shining and it felt so nice to be outside. And then the next day it rained and sleeted. I was not a fan of that. But I cannot wait until the weather around here gets nice. It will be so great. The weather really has an effect on people's moods and attitudes and if it is nice out, people are apt to be more forgiving and nicer. I cannot wait!
So there's not much else going on in my life. It is pretty boring. I am really poor and I need to get a job, but since there are only like six or seven weeks left of school, whats the point? Actually thats so bad, I should just try and get one. I am so sad that school is over in seven weeks. I am going to miss this place so bad. I am going to miss my friends too. I mean don't get me wrong I am thrilled to be going back to Narragansett, because my friends are there and the beach is there and my job is there! I cannot wait for the days when Brie and I would sit on the beach making earrings and jewelry and just hang out before going to work! Or the Mike's Hard Iced Tea day. That was fun. I cannot wait for that, but I know I am going to miss a lot of things around here! I'll have to come back and visit a couple times over the break.
Anyhow I must start on my school work!
