A Productive Day

I woke up today thinking it was going to be a terrible day, and it wasn't so great until around 1:40 when I went to my theatre class. It always makes me happy :-) lol. Any way, I came back from class and hung out with my across the hall neighbor Katie and our friend Ashley and we all decided we needed to go job hunting. So we walked down Elmwood Ave. applying anywhere and everywhere. So far I have apps in at Panos, JP Bullfeather's (bar/restaurant), Cafe Aroma, Starbucks, Talking Leaves (bookstore), Tops, and Blockbuster. So hopefully I'll hear back from at least one of them soon. A lot of places we stopped at we either mom & pop shops that don't hire outside the family, or just weren't hiring. A couple of places didn't have real applications so we just gave them names, phone numbers and the hours we're available. Like I said, hopefully I'll hear back soon, or rather Mom will (I gave them your number cuz I don't have one right now). We'll see :-)

Back in the Swing of Things

I've now officially readjusted to college life, my schedule is final, and things are getting a lot better in general. I absolutely love my class schedule this semester! I'm taking 6 classes, but I only have classes Monday through Thursday. Monday and Wednesdays are great, my first class is at 4:30 and I'm done around 8:30. It's a little late, but it works out jsut fine. I get to sleep in and I can get things done before I go to class. Tuesdays and Thursdays I start at 9:30 and go straight through until 12:05, then I have a break until it's time for the best class ever!! My theatre class this semester is amazing! We rarely ever get out on time, which is just fine because all we do is play games for about 2 hours. Somehow I always end up with no shoes on in that class though...lol. Other than theatre, I'm taking Astronomy (once a week for 2.5 hours BORING), Jazz and Rock Foundations (also 2.5 hours once a week, but bearable), American History, Psychology (both profs are loons) and English of course (another extrememly boring one). Charlene is in 5 with me and Ashlee is in 2, So I have someone I know in each of my classes. I also know a couple others in each class from the dorms and last semester. Things are going a lot better already. I jsut hope I can keep up with all 6 classes and manage to have a social life!
Things are getting better in that area too. I've started hanging out with a few girls on my floor whom I've talked to occasionally before, but we've been spending more time together and I absolutely love them! Katie, who currently lives across the hall but is moving next door is also a huge fan of The Labyrinth and Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink and all those other cheesy 80's movies that I love! There is also Steph, Courtney, Alexis, and Ashley. We're a fun group. We have picinics in the hallway at midnight and random dance parties at all hours of the day and night. This floor has definately gotten a lot more interesting this semester, that's for sure! Well seeing as it's almost 3am I should go to sleep...but I guess it doesn't matter since I don't have class on fridays :-D

Oh The Drama

Today I found out that some random gay kid is going around telling people that we "hooked up" the other night. Riiiight, if he's gay, then why is he hooking up with girls? Gotta love the people that go to Buff State lol, they're so smart. Oh, he's not only gay, he's also a drag queen. He also told Ashlee's roommate that I called her a slut, which I didn't. That's somewhat cleared up though, Ash set her straight about what happened that night (which was also the night my phone disappeared). I found the whole thing hilarious. I'm still laughing just thinking about the whole situation. Oh Buff State...

A Better Mood

Ok, things aren't as God awful as I made them out to be in previous posts. They're starting to get a little better as of today. Noelle and I talked everything out and everything is fine now, so that made my day completely :-), Ashlee and I ordered enough food from La Nova to feed about 8 people and we completely devastated it all while watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then we played Scene It and life was great. I also talked to Krista, Chelsea, and Nikki today and as usual they helped lots (thanks girls). Nik also added anew chapter to her current FanFic story and my character made her debut...there are a few awkward things about it, such as the fact that she's "dating" the guy who is based on one of our HS teachers (thanks Nik, I appreciate the awkwardness of that one). I still have no phone, but it has been turned off so we don't have to worry about some random person using it and what not. I have no idea when I'm getting a new one, but we'll see. I have to wait until Monday to see if I can get my book deferment working or not. Oh and I decided to randomly dye my hair again last night. It's back to being a light reddish-brown. I'm going to go to bed now before anything new can go wrong lol.

Lowered Expectations

I came back to Buffalo this semester in a really good mood which continued throughout the first few days. Everythingw as going great, I like all my classes, I met some cool new people, I have money on my meal card again. I should have expected it not to last. It was going too well for it to be any good. I'm not even here for a week yet and then life decides "let's screw Nikki over now". Yesterday started out just fine, I went to my two boring morning lectures and had a fun lunch with Char and Ashee before going to my acting class, which is absolutely amazing. We ended up going over our time by 25 minutes and no one cared, it was great. Then Ashlee and I went to the gym for a little while...then it all went downhill from there. Around 7-8ish Charlene told me to come over and chill in Porter with her and her roommate. So having nothing better to do I went over. Now let me just say that every time I go into Porter something goes terribly wrong. The first time was orientation when they put 3 of us in one room and when we learned exactly what we were getting into by coming to Buff State. Then there was the night that I hung out with Krug and some friends who were visiting from home, that was the night Charlene met the jerk who would screw her over completely. Had I not been there she never would have met him .Ok...back to hte story. I went over and we were just hanging out and then Roommate (we don't call Char's RM by her real name...she's just RM) decides "hey let's go get some drinks from upstairs, where the 21 year old who still lives in the underclassmen dorms sells alcohol to minors. So we run up there and I put in a few dollars and we bring a few beers back to Char's rom and everything is going just fine. Until all the randoms come wandering in throughout the night. So finally it's about midnight and we're all pretty out of it and I decide it's time for me to go back to my dorm and go to bed. I get up and start getting all my stuff and I go to pick up my cell phone from Char's desk, where it's been all night...and of course it's not there. So we turn the whole room upside down looking for it. It's not there. So we search hte entire 6th floor, it's not there. So then we went through all 9 floors asking every random person we saw if they'd seen a phone. After all this we still didn't find it, so the only logical conclusion we can draw is that one of the 800 randoms who were in Char's room must have taken it. Why someone would steal my shitty phone, I don't know. Sprint says they haven't used it and it goes straight to voicemail when we call it. Mom called and they turned it off, so now I have no phone and I never realized how dependent I am on my phone. On top of that I went to the bookstore to buy my books for this semester and I had everything I needed and I get up to the register only to find out that my book defferment "hasn't been approved". I went to get it on Tuesday, they told me I could use it by Friday...so WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE?? I can't wait to leave this school for good. Once I leave I'm never coming back to Buffalo ever again. Even for Panos. I hate this school I hate this city, oh and life sucks right now too. Grrr...why is it nothing can ever go right in my life?
I'm just going to go to sleep for the next four months and wake up when the semester is over, so I can leave here and move in with Chels and Marshall and have the best summer ever and then go to a decent school in the fall and find some not so grimey people to hang out with...and actually enjoy life for a little bit. Oh and maybe by then my best friend will be talking to me again. But hey that might be asking a little too much, I mean life can only handle so much good at a time.

Whooooa! WHAT?!?!

Apparently this week is "get in touch with Nikki" week. I got random IMs from Jake (whom I went to prom with and haven't spoken to in about a year), Spencer (haven't talked to him in a good 4-5 months), some kid who apparently lives in my building that I've never met and have no idea how he got my screen name, and Roman, whom I haven't talked to since Ryan left. Which brings me to the final random person to IM me. As I'm typing this, I'm also talking to Ryan. He is done with basic training and about 10 minutes ago sent me a message and I nearly fell off of my chair when I saw who it was from. I honestly never thought I'd heard from him again. He's telling me all of the stuff they did to him and I know it sounds mean but I can't stop laughing. They tear gassed him, shaved his head, put him thorugh Hell, typical boot camp stuff...and I find it all ridiculously entertaining, mostly because he's a jerk, but oh well.

On another topic...the whole Josh thing is over. Both of them. (yeah, that sounds really bad) first things first...the RA Josh; he came in after I had gotten all settled in and was like "oh I missed you" and was being all huggy and I being the cold, heartless thing I am (where guys are concerned anyway) eventually told him that I wanted to be friends and that was it. I guess he took it fairly well. But who knows.
And now the other Josh from home, I've put a stop to that because I know that I don't want anything like that from him and I know that losing my best friend over some guy isn't worth it at all. Noelle and I have been friends since first grade and I wouldn't trade the past 13 years for anything in the world, so Bo I'm sorry about this whole thing, I never wanted to hurt you. I really wasn't thinking when the whole thing started and I wish it never had because I know this has come between us and I hate that. I hate the fact that we didn't spend any time together over vacation, and the fact that you're upset about this whole thing. Not to mention everyone else who basically thinks I'm a terrible person for all this. I can't take it back, but I am sorry for it.

On a much happier note I may not have to live with my dad ever again starting this summer. Chelsea and Marshall are getting an apartment and I'll be staying with them when I'm home. Getting an apartment probably isn't the best move right now, especially when I don't have a definate job lined up yet. But so far the plan is that I'll find one when I'm home for spring break and since there will be three of us and Marshall knows the guy who owns the place he's giving us a really good deal. I'm still waiting on the details to know if this is going to be a definate thing, but it would be nice to actually have a place to go when I'm home since I hate staying with dad. The only problem with this plan is that it's going to be a lot harder to save money. But like I said, nothing is final, it may not even happen. We'll see...

Back in B-lo

I never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm ridiculously happy to be back in Buffalo! It's finally back to the terribly unhealthy life I've missed so much for the past month!!
I got my car back on Saturday night, which didn't really help me out at al becasue I left on sunday. Sara and Paul came to get me so we could go meet mom in Albany, where Sara crushed my face with a car door. It was pretty sweet. Almost. She forgot that she had to keep the door open so I could get out too, so she closed it and remembered to let me out and as I was getting out she watched the wind catch the door and smash into my face. It hurt A LOT! The ride out here wasn't bad at all and it went really fast. The portable DVD player I got for Christmas definately helped out with that. As did a nap and my mp3 player. So we got here and unloaded the car and waited around for Char so we could go to dinner. I missed eating at Panos. There will be road trips to Buffalo next year just so I can eat there again. I guess I can visit people while I'm here too lol. So after eating, mom and Bryon left and I unpacked and whatnot. There was some visiting and such and then I hung out with Derek and his friend Ashley until about 3am when I decided it was finally time to crash. It was great lol. Oh and having high speed internet again is absolutely AMAZING!!! My roomate isn't coming in until later tonight so I have the room to myself for a while. I think I'll take advantage of that and take a nap now or something haha. Later ♥

New Look

This is only temporary until I can get back on my own computer and get a new template set up. I was just sick of the Christmas theme...

Nothing much has really happened in the past few days. I'm hopefully (fingers crossed) getting my car back tonight, but we'll see about that. I talked to my dad's insurance agent and got a quote for my insurance and I might wait until April to get it. Going carless until then is really going to suck, but saving the $700 is worth it. Especially when I have no income. Yeah it's going to suck not having a car for four months...but Dad is getting one for himself to drive to and from work and taking mine off the road...but, being a daddy's girl, I'm sure he'll let me take his when I'm home cuz he'll still have his truck. (I hope) It really isn't a huge deal because I'm used to not having a car at school. It's going to be harder to get a good job, but I think I'll manage. It'll also give me time to save up some money so that when I do start making payments I won't be completely broke. Ugh...this whole being independant and a grown-up thing really sucks lol.

Happy New Year

So once again I rang in the new year with no car. I swear, there is something about the last week in December and the first few weeks in January that my car doesn't like. It's always broken. We finally found out what's wrong with it...it needs a new transmission. Sweet right? Oh and did I mention my dad is making me pay half? I'll just run out to the corner and hook for a few weeks since I'm completely broke! Ugh! Oh well.
Nothing major has happened since the last time I blogged, well...kind of... New Years Eve was fun. I was with Chelsea all morning then she had to work at 4:30 so she dropped me off at josh's so I would have a ride to Alex's that night. We had to make a short pit stop at josh's cousin's house and that was fun. Then we went to Alex's and I got to see everyone for the first time in who knows how long and that was fun. josh and I let people know that we're, well more than friends, but less than dating..(basically it just kind of happened one day and we're just going with it). I told Noelle before we let people know because she's my best friend and I wanted to know how she felt about me and her ex. She said it was fine...but I don't know. I got cold at one point and put on Josh's sweatshirt and when I walked in she got up and left. So I basically felt like a terrible person for wearing a sweatshirt. I hate this whole situation and I can't wait to go back to school...never thought i'd say that...lol
Let's see what else has happened...um, I met Chelsea's new boy (she picked one of the three she was playing lol), we played laser tag (so much fun :-D), we went to the mall and I didn't spend any money, even though I have a gift card. I guess that's about it. Oh nad I miss Charlene like crazy...I have no one to do crazy random things with me here...only 12 more days! I htought a month would be nice...but it's definately too long! I have no idea how Char and I are going to survive the summer. There will be several road trips, that's for sure!
