last night i possibly did the meanest thing i've ever consciencely done to someone. we were all going over to my friends apartment to drink and this one kid we know was coming over. this guy, no matter where we go, always drinks EVERYTHING and never pays anyone. and he told us he was bringing his friend - and my friend who owns the apartment doesn't really know her. so i called him and told him nothing was going on when is was. and now i feel like a bitch and that i'm going to lose friends over this. i don't even know.

of course he found out this morning and sent me a text about it.

i've never done anything so catty and bitchy before. i feel horrible.

I like the fact that I can pick "listless" as a mood.

Some things in life are just very difficult...

I guess things are just bugging me because I have no control over it.

I wish certain things would be easier.

so.....college.

i'm aving such a good time. thank god i was blessed with awesome friends on my hall and in music. If either of them weren't here i know i'd be having a shit time.

i feel like i don't have that much work.....i spend more time either rehearsing or practicing than i do homewok/studying combined. not that im complaining though.

my roomates awesome. im really glad we got each other. we're both super laid back and chill and im really glad i got her.

eurhythmics = the best class ever.

ahhhhh i really do like it here. i feel really separated from the world tahough. first of all we are in the middle of freaking nowhere so we dont really leave the campus that much unless we're going to a)a restaurant in town b)walmart or c) outlets. secondly, we have no tv in our room and i really dont ever watch it.

but i do love it here. no ghost encounters yet though.

Homecoming game today! actually i have to go i have band in 30 minutes!

ill try to update more regularly. but that probably wont happen.

Band camp/college tomorrow! I surprised myself and actually packed well before today.

You know, the worst part for me right now is that I'm leaving philly. Honestly. I mean I'm gonna miss everyone to death, but there is just something about this area that I absolutely love. And it's gonna be weird to leave. Philly is just a part of me, I don't know how to explain it.

But I know I have to leave in order to have a different experience (hahaha like G-burg is the culture mecca of the world.) WATCH OUT RE-INACTORS.....and ghosts. Do you know that G-burg is the most haunted campus in the U.S.? There's a tidbit of info for you.

I love all 4 of you who read this and I hope to see you soon (if I'm not shot at the battlefields!)

I just thought to myself, "I wish I was going back to Villa this year."

WEIRD. I'm not ready to leave yet, apparently.

ARRRRRRGH

I am so pissed right now that I didn't force my mom to get a mac book instead of this laptop. I really do like this laptop (hell, i would like any laptop). BUT at this point, i have recieved the blue screen of death 4 times. I've had the laptop for a WEEK. I'm pretty sure that the issue is with an incorectly installed driver with itunes (which, if i had a mac book, would be a non-issue). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling itunes but the error never seems to go away. I mean, the only thing i can think to do is reload the hard drive and start anew. But I'm hoping there is another option cause I really don't want to do that. I realllllly wish I got a mac instead.

Any advice? I really don't know what to do in lieu of reinstalling the hard drive or taking it in.

On a brighter note, I got myself "The Office" (BBC version) season 2. LOVE IT. So uncomfortable and funny. Ricky Gervais is a mastermind.

Everytime I write in this, I always begin with "wow I haven't written in forever."

So I will spare you.

A lot has happened: graduation, gettysburg course selection/preparations, fun fun fun with everyone. Three quarters of me wants this to go faster, and one quarter wants this summer to last forever. Like if every summer I could magically return to the summer of 2006. Even though I will be old and grey.

I got my laptop for school! And I'm obsessed with it. It has a wi-fi setup in it and apparently, there is a wireless network in a range near me because I'm getting internet access. (I don't know if this is illegal/proper...?) Which is absolutely fabulous to me because I've been living with dial up forever. I hate to say this, because it does sound really materialistic, but its arrival improved my mood tremendously.

I didn't go down to senior week with everyone. And I can't say that I missed it. I hung out with people up here who I haven't hung out with in a while.

I applied for a job at Ann Taylor Loft. Bridget applied for a job there too! We could be work buddies which will be nice because(if I get the job) I like having a buddy while working. I wish they would call me back though. =\

My mother has gone completely mental these past few weeks. She gives me lists. Everyday. Of what I should be doing. Now, I am aware that I have chores and responsibilities, but its never ending. I swear I've swept the floor in the kitchen three times in the past week. I think she's exerting as much power as she can over me before I'm off to school.

Oh, by the way Katie and Caroline: I read the shoebox project (the entire thing! it took a while). I'm glad you recommended it to me. I loved it! So funny and good.

I guess thats it for now.

Once you are tagged you must write a blog about 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose & list the next six people to be tagged:

So i realize im not too weird but:

  1. I always eat pizza the same way: cheese first, then everything else
  2. I have a mild obsession with the rat pack (frank sinatra, dean martin, sammy davis jr.) and all things sassy 50s - 60s vegas
  3. I really like gardening. I love planting flowers or plants and watching them grow.
  4. Like steph, I HATE calling people. Unlike steph, its a major phobia of mine. It really takes A LOT for me to call someone I don't know, let alone someone I do.
  5. My two main fears in life are rejection and awkwardness. I hate both of them a lot.
  6. I need 3 things in order to sleep properly: my mom's lasalle sweatshirt, my teddy bear Teddy (I know, so creative) and music of some sort.

TAG: Brittany!

In other news:
I'm going to GETTYSBURG.
And I'm completely happy about it =)

Okay, so I'm following suit and doing an in-depth college analysis. I would like to hear your imput on these schools and the reason I have for going/not going.

Temple:
- GREAT and world-renowned music department
- Therefore a LOT of competition which could be good and bad
- Not that well known for liberal arts/general studies
- Still might be a good education in the honors program
- In Philly
- I've lived here for 9 years
- It's huge
- Lot's of diversity
- Different from what I know and would be comfortable with

Gettysburg - Good music department but not as well known
- I would be a big fish in a small pond
- MUCH better liberal arts program
- In the freaking middle of nowhere
- Average small college size
- No diversity whatsoever
- Is pretty similar to what I know and I know I would have no trouble fitting in

Ehhhh. I change my mind EVERY day. Some outside input would be nice. Thanks.

COLLEGE UPDATE:

I got rejected from Columbia. No surprise there.

I got waitlisted at Berklee. I'm not upset, just confused. I mean, they accept EVERYONE. Like they have a 95% acceptance rate or something. Probably not that high, but ya know. High enough that I should be confused as to why I didn't get in.

Wow. High School is practically over.
