Ok! Update time!
I have a lot to do this week... a lot compared to what I usually have. I am experiencing severe writer's block and it's really frusterating. I have to finish my RA application and I am having trouble putting things into words. Same with my essay on what Alpha Xi Delta means to me. I have a bad feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Everything is okay here in my life. I'm just waiting for Christmas, that's all. Ready to be reunited with Josh. It sucks that even after Christmas, he has to go back for another 5 months. I guess the good news is that I get to go see him in June!
This has been quite an exciting election day. Oh, and I bought Cars today.
I just love UAB.
I feel like I have so much more to say....
"Pages turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from"

It's been a while, and I'm bored, so I thought I'd give a little update.
I pledged Alpha Xi Delta and I love it so far. Everyone is so cool and laid back, and really that's what I want in a sorority. I'm glad I realised that and everything worked out in the end.
Classes are good... when I go...
I miss Josh a lot, but we're getting along just fine.
OH! And for the worst news... today I went to my stupid high-tech dentist. And I have 3 cavities. BOO! I've never had a cavity in my life and then they pulled out the LASER and now I have 3! SO MAD!

Well, although last week was pretty awful, I like UAB. It's been fun so far. Rush actually worked out for the best in the end. I'm thinking about looking into a COB for Alpha Xi... I didn't really get the feel for them during rush but I've discovered I really like them. That's why rush is hard... you never can tell what it's all like until it's over.
I'm happy where I am in life right now. I enjoy looking back on high school with such fondness and looking forward to what is in store for me in my next 3 years here. Maybe four. Haha.
Anyways, I'm super excited about this weekend... woo! I heart Auburn trips.

Why should i hate you?
After all, it's been so long
Since I've lived in town.
Let it go for now.
Have a drink at your favorite bar till dark.
Stumble into empty baseball park.
Strike one and strike two...
I guess we're both out.
Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.

You do this to me.
You do this and I oblige.
And I fight it.
Why should I miss you?
After all, it's been so long
Since I felt your kiss.
Did it come to this?
Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.

Stolen from Molly and Charlotte.
So, Josh is gone and I'm holding up so far. I miss him a lot, but we can video chat on Skype which makes things easier. I like UAB a lot so far, a lot more than Alabama. My classes seem easy and I am in love with my Forensics teacher. He's very Mulder-ish.
Well I guess that's it for my life right now!

Before I go to bed, I want to write a reminder to myself that I have the most amazing boyfriend on earth. We went to "Hotlanta" this weekend to see Ryan Adams and it was amazing. It made me so happy I could barely see straight. Definitely one of the highlights of my summer. My second best concert ever... or maybe first... I can't decide.
Ok, I'm deliriously tired. Goodnight.

You know what gets me about kids? They will watch the same movie a million times in one day/ Today I had to endure High School Musical about 3 times. And then they sang the songs the rest of the day.
I'm so bored that I am watching coverage of what was a high speed chase and is now a standoff on CNN.
I am so excited about the Zooperstars tomorrow night!!!

The mood icon makes me look like I'm sad. I'm really not. Just discontent.
I think I'm getting surgery on my cockeye. It'll be like a facelift. In a way I feel vain getting it, but it really is annoying and has only gotten worse. I'm afraid I'll come out looking like Joan Rivers. Ick.
I wish I could be one of those people who can go out with their hair up. My hair looks like crap when it's up.
My boyfriend leaves me in 40 days. Only 40 more days together. This blows.
Maybe I am slightly sad.

I have a serious problem.
I have a horrible cockeye.
My right eyelid is slightly droopy. It has gotten significantly worse lately and I don't know what to do. I'm seriously contemplating surgery because it is really annoying.
What is even more sad is that I am up at 3 in the morning researching my cockeye.
I need a life.

I really don't understand why I can't tear myself away from my computer at night. I am really doing nothing... obviously, since I am updating this thing. I want to get rid of it, but I would feel somewhat guilty. I've had some form of an online journal for over four years, and I like having a record of my life. But at the same time, it's really pointless to keep updating it. Whatev.
Emily and I stayed in the most fabulous house in Rosemary Beach last week. It had a dumbwaiter! My Harriet the Spy dreams have come true. I had a great outlet mall trip. I bought an awesome comforter for my room. I really can't wait to move in. I love being home and all, but I'm anxious to get down to UAB and start actually having a decent college experience... hopefully.
But, at the same time, I am dreading starting school because Josh leaves on August 23rd. I can't even go see him off because I have class. It's probably for the best, because I'd just cause a scene in the middle of the airport. I'm still not sure how we're going to say goodbye to each other. Blaaaaaah.
Moving on.
I got my haircut today and it's really weird.
I went out to Trafford tonight with Josh and got to hang out with a Donkey. I love that my boyfriend's family has random animals. A bunch of kids were up there playing with them too. One girl made me really sad... apparently her parents are drug addicts and has been in and out of foster care her whole like up until recently. The poor girl is starved for attention and affection. She's only ten years old but I can see her future mapped out already. She proudly proclaimed that she wasn't going to go to college, which made me feel really depressed. That decision shouldn't come for another eight years, and she's already made up her mind about it. I know that she's just going to dismiss the idea for the rest of her schooling. I just think it's a shame. I can't really explain what makes me sad about it. I just want everyone to get a good education and have the opportunity to go to college.
Well enough of that. Time for bed now.

Woo!
This has been a very long week. I am now babysitting part time for three kids, who are awesome, but very energetic. I have to wake up at 5:30 to go to there house and I have been drained this past week. At least I get an easy week this week.
I went to UAB orientation on Tuesday and I loved it! Well, I loved UAB that is. I am very excited about my classes next semester. I think they're going to be awesome.
City Stages this weekend was actually fun. Usually I hate it and vow to never go back (but always do), but this year I enjoyed it. I found the trick to having fun at City Stages: meet up with a lot of different people. That way, you can hear a lot of different music.
Josh is leaving on August 21st-ish and comes back in early July. But hopefully I'll be able to come over after his exams and go to Paris with him! That's our plan.
Time to go clean my room...

I kind of miss the days when I would update my LJ everday. It's fun to look back on the old entries. My life may suck now, but man do I have some great memories. I guess I have lived well so far. I truly made the most out of high school. I had some "rough times", but now I look back at them and laugh. Kimmy and I were driving around the other night, just like we used to, and we talked about how stupid we were. I thought my life was over when so and so didn't like me, but now I say "Why did I even like him anyway?". It's funny how things that meant so much back then are now just a joke. I'm glad I had those experiences, bad and good.
High School was fun. My freshman year was not fun. Hopefully UAB will be fun.
Alright, I'm tired and have a big day tomorrow.
Until then.

I got back from my family reunion today. 3 days in South Georgia really took its toll on me. The combination of the heat/humidity and the gnats has me exhausted. I had fun, but it was kind of depressing. It made me realisehow quickly children grow up, which makes me feel old. I'm only 18, but sometimes I feel like a senior citizen. It was still nice to see little kids though, and also to get away for a few days.
Josh is almost for sure going to Germany in August... until June 2007. My boyfriend is going to be studying abroad for a year. It's kind of scary to think about. Such short notice about it too. Only three months to spend with him before he goes. It's gonna be rough.
I'm still looking for a job... I guess I haven't actively been looking at all though. I just want to be lazy after such a long year. I did join Gold's Gym though, and it's really nice. I am going to get so spoiled working out there this summer.
I'm going to the beach with Josh's family next weekend, which will be fun. I'm pretty excited.
That's all I have for now.

This has been the laziest day of my life. I woke up at noon and ate lunch, and then laid in bed for about five hours watching Sex and the City. I spent the rest of the day wandering around my house talking about how bored I am.
I've also been downloading lame songs all day... hence my lame music choice.
So, I want to watch SpiceWorld and Can't Hardly Wait. Who wants to join me in this lame movie fest?
P.S. This is my idol. One day I want to be just like her.
Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of

Tonight, in Winn Dixie, I saw 2 girls that reminded me of Emily and I circa 9th grade.
The brunette girl was wearing a strapless knee-length cocktail dress over a pair of sweatpants. She was crying over some boy. This girl is me.
Her blonde friend was being very sweet and trying to comfort her. She was dressed in a cute pink shirt and jeans. She was saying things like "Don't let him get to you!". This girl is Emily.
So, The Erin is crying... and then The Emily says something funny and the two of them start laughing hysterically. Then they get really hyper and start throwing tubs of ice cream to each other.
Anyways, it was cute. It made me sad though. I think I might be the only person on earth that misses being in high school purely for the reason that I could be really emotional about boys and it was okay. It's funny how much I've changed. I don't get emotional about relationships at all anymore. In fact, I get annoyed with people that do that. As weird as it sounds, I miss being sad about boys. I miss having a best friend that would cheer me up with things like ice cream runs and sweet cards.
So, this is really corny.
Anyways, this is pretty much for Emily: Thank you for always being my friend even though I used to be annoying, irrational, and dramatic... you deserve a medal for that. Even though back then I thought life sucked, I now look back on our times together as my fondest memories of adolesence. I hope we can continue to make awesome memories as we get older. I hope we can always stay young at heart. I hope that when we're forty we can still go out and flirt shamelessly with younger men... who cares if we're married? Thanks for everything, Emily, and I love you!
P.S. You are the Samantha Jones to my Carrie Bradshaw.

Josh took me to the basement of Gorgas last night and it was creepy as anything. You couldn't pay me to go down there by myself.
A few nights ago I dreamt that my family got 2 pigs and named them Wilbur and John Wayne. CUTE! Josh used to have a pig named M.J.- named after Michael Jordan.
Last night I checked out a dissertation from the library.
Less than 2 weeks until I can get the hell out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama! I can't wait to be at UAB. Go Blazers. What a cool mascot. I also like UAB's colors.
I want to go rent Match Point now!
I have a paper on Sri Lanka to do.
K Bye.

The world is out to get me.
Everything I have done today is a constast reminder that I still don't have a job. I feel so frusterated... the one time I try to get stuff done early and nothing comes from it. I have to go home this weekend and apply for more jobs, but probably will not have any luck because it's too late now. I guess I will be jobless forever. I should probably give up.
Very irritated.
I thought getting a job was easy!
I hate my IHP class. I hate writing papers on stuff I care nothing about for a teacher who is always going to misconstrue everything I say. Why bother.
It's going to be a long week.
