The Story So Far

So I've been in Oneonta a little less than two weeks now and I absolutely love it here! My roommate seems nice but we don't hang out or really talk at all. I know her name is Jeanette, she's asian and from Brooklyn (I think). She also has a twin and she's a fashion major. That's all I know lol. My suitemates are all pretty nice too. Three are sorority girls and the fourth is on the swimming team. So They only come here to sleep and get ready to go out. It's not a bad set-up. I like that people aren't here all the time. I also like the fact that you can see into the suite next door from our common room window. The six guys that live there are all gorgeous ;-) They're all really nice too. They chill over here and we go over there. It's fun. The other day I was sitting in our common room and one of the guys came in looking for something but couldn't find it and then he randomly told me he had a bad day and he needed a hug. It was adorable lol. Troy and Pete are the ones I've talked to the most. Troy is a theatre major so I have a feeling I'll be seeing alot of him once the season starts since I'll be doing crew. I cna't wait. I miss being involved in theatre. We're doing "Wait Until Dark" and "Twelfth Night" this semester. I have to do stage crew for at least one for my stagecraft class, but I'll end up doing crew for both hopefully.
As far as classes go, they are all ok. I dropped my 8am precalc class and picked up a 9 am math for liberal arts class (aka EASY math I took in like 9 and 10th grade). My Lit class is ok so far, lots of readin obviously. American lit is the same thing, tons of reading-that one is kind of boring though. My friend Rodney who went to Buff State is in it with me though. Stagecraft is fun, we get to play with power tools hehehe. Sadly that's only two days a week though, one of which is a lecture and the other is the lab. Either way I love it. The teacher is awesome, he cracks me up! The first day when he was giving a tour of the theatres he was talking about the fire curtain (which is made of asbestos) and he said " Don't lick the fire curtain. That's baaaaad". That was our safety lesson. lol I'm also taking Foil Fencing. Yes, I get to play with a sword for 3 hours twice a week. It's amazing. I'll definately be in shape at the end of the semester. Between fencing (major leg work), stagecraft (lifting and such), and living on the fourth floor with no elevator....oh and the whole campus is uphill. No matter where you go, you have to walk uphill. Even if you go the same way to get back from where you went...it's uphill. I don't get it lol. Now I understand the whole "I walked 10 miles to school uphill both ways". It's going to be terrible in the snow, but at least I'll have good legs and a nice ass ;-) hahaha

So that's how school is going so far...fun but fairly uneventful.

Back To Reality

I'm finally back at school and so far I love it here. That's not really saying much since I haven't been here all that long. I moved in Sunday morning and used the rest of the day to get settled in and all that. I was ridiculously tired since I hadn't slept in about two days. It was so worth it though. I should probably start this from the beginning so it's coherent, so that's what I'll do.

On friday night I spent the afternoon and evening with Noelle. We went to Panera for dinner and then went to a playground. This may sound strange, but it's a tradition we have. Whenever we need to talk or just be around each other we end up at a playground. Last summer we went to this same playground shortly before we went our seperate ways for the first time. We talked about everything. We felt it was only appropriate to do the same since, again, we are going our seperate ways and will be farther apart this year. We were there for about 4 hours, just talking and goofing around. The evening ended with a picture adventure in which we hung from the rope wall thing, got on the tire swine upside-down, and rocked out on top of the monkeybars. It was awesome. We got a couple of awesome pictures of the two of us and we just had an amazing time. We went back to her house for a little while, then I decided I should probably leave sice I had to A.) pack and B.) work at 7am. Then I realized I didn't have enough gas to get home so I made a pitstop at Jay's to collect a debt from Q. I got home and packed until about 2 am. Got up at 5:30 and was at the mall by 7. It was crazy. I went home for a couple hours then went to Mary's for our family dinner. That was a good time. I got to show off my new tatto :-) and see all the kids and pretty much catch up on everyone's life. Mom and I left, packed the car and then I went to Jay's. Saturday night was one of the best nights of my life. Jay, Q, and Dan had this spot they wanted to show me, but Stefano was there and, not that we don't like him, we jsut didn't want him to go with us. So Jay and I left so he could show me this spot. We were planning to be gone for maybe an hour or so. Well, we ended up talking for a while. About EVERYTHING. There were tears and laughter, love and loss. I loved every minute of it. We finally got back to the apartment about 5 hours later. Q and Stefano had passed out. I was planning on staying up all night because Mom and I were going to leave at 8am. Well, around 6:45 I fell asleep to the sound of Jay's voice. Leaveing an hour later was one of the hardest things I've had to do, but I knew I couldn't stay.
The trip out here was fine. It's such a quick drive compared to Buffalo. So mom and I got everything moved in, I met my roommate and my other suitemates showed up throughout the day. They're all really nice but I haven't really clicked with any of them. By the time I was unpacked and mom had left I was exhausted, and with good reason. But for some reason I didn'tw ant to go to sleep yet so I went to the magic show in hte union. It was awesome. I laughed my ass off the whole time. I finally came back and passed out. I slept just about all day on monday, waking only to eat and buy books. Later that night I get a text basically telling me that I am going to be kidnapped. Which I was. How sad is that? I spend one night here and the next night I'm home already? I had an awesome time though. Dan, Jay, Q and I hung out, went to the playground, and just hung out under the stars. We slept most of today too and then got up ate and headed up to Saratoga. Dan wanted to get a tattoo but they were booked today so we went to the rasino instead. I won $27 on $1. Dan won about $100 with $50. Jay lost. :-P
Then we had to get back cuz Dan had to go home so Jay and I went to the mall and bought a couple CDs (Jack Johnson for me) and then met Q and Josh W for dinner. After that Q and Jay drove me back to school. It was an awesome car ride. We listened to our song about 8 times and a bunch of other amazing music. The three of us don't even need to talk anymore. We just know. It gets kind of creepy at times, but I love how close we are. So now I'm back at school and I have Pre-calc at 8am. I should probably get some sleep.

Sorry about the length, but I haven't blogged in a while. Tomorrow's post-math at 8am and how little I was able to pay attention. Until then...

All's Well That Ends Well

I managed to fix everything with Oneonta today, so no wories, I'm still going to school!! I apologise for the language in the last post, but I've never been more angry/worried about anything in my life. I don't think I could take staying home for another five months, that would just be unbearable. It's not that I don't like being here, but when I'm home I feel like my life is in limbo. I'm working toward nothing and accomplishing just as much. I already feel like half of my brain has rotted away in the past four months. Four months. It's ridiculous that I've been home for that amount of time. I only have four more days left here though and I can not wait to leave.

I haven't started packing yet or anything. I'm so disorganized. Last year I was packed about two weeks in advance. I think I might move all of my stuff from Sara's to Larry's tomorrow night since tonight is my last shift at the hotel (WOOT!) I also have to guilt him into buying me a bunch of stuff for school since he pays for absolutely NOTHING now. I'm selling my car, so he no longer pays car insurance, he hasn't paid for gas in God only knows how long. I had to pay for everything that went wrong with the car this summer. So he can definately foot some of the bill for things I need in my dorm. Not to mention he still owes me over $100 from about 8 months ago. But let's not go there...
Either way I can't wait to go back to school. I'm determined to have the best time ever. I'm close enough to home that it shouldn't be too hard to get back and forth if I need to and so far I really like the girls in my suite (though I have yet to contact my actual roommate lol). I already have a bunch of friends in that area, whether from high school or orientation or what have you. Ugh!! I'm so impatient!!! I just want to go NOW!

All

Larry Can Bite It

I'm hating my father. He does nothing but fuck my life up and create more problems for me. At this point I seriously wouldn't give a shit if he bit it. Hardcore. I'd throw a fucking party.

Tuesday is my last day at the hotel and I can't wait. Then again if I can't fix my dad's fuck up, then it might not be my last day there. I may have to take a semester off (not by choice) becasue Larry doesn't know how to give me my fucking mail that says URGENT or DATED MAIL or IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED. Yeah, fuck him. I hate him.

Color Blind

The summer is coming to a close. In 11 days I will be moving into a new dorm and starting a new life. I can't wait! But I'll also be leaving behind another life that I'm not ready to say goodbye to. In the past month I've grown closer to Jay and Q than I could have ever thought possible. I'll miss our 4am song sessions when we sit in Jay's kitchen bleeding together through a pen. They do the writing but they always manage to express exacly what we are all feeling. I feel like I've gained another family. We've actually laughed over this a few times. Jay is definately an older brother, and it has been decided that Q and I would have to be twins (The worst twins EVER! lmao) and Dan (the bassist) is that awesome cousin that's always around. Josh is definately in there somewhere too, but we haven't really decided where he fits in, he just does. Becasue of these people I've lost some of my self-consciousness and can comfortably belt a song at the top of my lungs in front of them.
I'll only be an hour and a half away this year, so that will definately make visiting much easier for both me and my friends, but Jay is going into the guard around the same time I'm leaving, which creates a bit of a problem. I'm not really sure how long he'll be gone, but he's going away and it sucks. It's what he wants though so we're all behind him 110%. We'll be here when he comes back, ready and waiting to pick up where we left off.

On a happier note: Jarrod is coming home this weekend. It's only for one or two days, but it's better than nothing. A bunch of us are meeting him at the airport on friday night. His plane gets in around 11:30 I think and since I get out at 11 and work about 5 minutes away Noelle is meeting me at the hotel and we're going together.
