School: I did it to myself this time :)

So I'm taking summer classes. They start on Monday and I'm doing it because A) I need to pay my rent and B) I need to graduate on time, without stressing myself out by overloading fall quarter. I start on Monday, which means that I have one day left to PAR-TAY! And by party, I mean curl up and read a book in my bowl-chair after church. LOL, I feel like such a lame. I'm determined to finish The Shack before school completely takes over my life. I think I can do it. Wish me luck :)

I need a job. Seriously. Anyone know of anybody that's hiring? I refuse to be poor this summer and I need to buy stuff for new apartment in the fall. Oh yeah, and make September rent. Ahhh! Being a real adult person isn't the greatest right now.

On a happier note, Kate's B-day was pretty awesome. Just a couple of us hanging out at her and Sam's new place, but it was definitely cool. We played LIFE, which is my new favorite game, and I didn't suck too badly. Kate and Hannah definitely blew us out of the water though they made almost three million dollars apiece! The birthday girl won the game, though, which I'm sure only added to the awesomeness that was her day.

Another happy note: My mom and Dad surprised me today and took me out to brunch @ Flattop. It was pretty good and they stayed almost the entire day. The bummy part is that I didn't get to see my dad that much since Mom and I went to a baby shower while Dad worked on his sermon. But at least he got most of it written, and we set up a day to go to the Goodwill Downtown the weekend after next. I love my dad!

Random: I was thinking about Luke earlier today. For those of you who don't know, Luke is my ex-boyfriend (who just came out of the closet). Anyway, he graduated today and for a brief second I thought that I might like to see his parents. I thought again. While they were sweethearts, I really don't need that kind of drama in my life anymore. Besides, I'm almost positive that I couldn't have kept the fact that he's gay a secret: I seriously doubt they know. Anyway, I am happy that he graduated (for his sake and my own) and I hope that I won't see him again for a very long time, maybe never. Rumor is, he's staying around Chicago, but my hope is that he'll be far from Evanston.

Another random note: I have yet to ask certain someone to hang out. True, it's only been a week, but it feels like much longer. And as for the other certain someone, I was told that it is now "illegal" for us to date. Oh, the irony. Perhaps there will be an exception if I can get him to look twice at me. (Which in turn means, I actually have to TRY; I really don't.) Here's to a summer full of agony: school and unrequited love (sort of). Ohh, add in the beach and a few good books to make it bearable. (Please note the lack of seriousness in this section. I'm actually really excited for the summer, whether it be with or without male attention.)

So there. I think that's enough for right now. I'll try to write again soon, when something interesting happens to me.

I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers :)

Why am I STILL in school?

I'm currently sitting in PARC library, people watching. I don't really want to do my paper and because I keep repeating that fact, I sound like a whiny brat. Oh well. I don't whine very often.

Two exams down.
Three papers to go.

If I can get two done in the next 15 hours, I'll be quite happy.

Not as happy as I would be if a certain person knew I existed, but ya know :)

Btw, he has yet to grace the door.

People watching = FAIL.

So we have 4 days until the end of school and I am DYING to get out!
Then, I'm going home for a couple of days (to see Lisa!).

And then HOPEFULLY, I'll be back for SUMMER SCHOOL.

Why do I do this to myself, you ask?

So that I can graduate on time.

Ahh... to start "real" life.

Starting Over ---

Yeah, so I had this other blog for like a year and a half (no one knew)... it was always set to private so no one could see it. LAME. Helped to be my personal diary though. Don't worry, I took it down already.

This new one'll be cool though. Hope to get some followers soon.

P.S. I'll explain it's purpose more, in later entries.
