Blah. I'm sick 
. It's the second time this summer. But at least I got out of working at the zoo on Saturday. I had planned on going in, as I need the money, but my alarm didn't go off that morning and I woke up about 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there. So I decided to just call my manager to let him know that I was sick. Then I went back to sleep and woke up at about 2 in the afternoon. Sleep is good.
I went and saw The Village the other night. Definitely not what I expected. It was still really good though. I just kinda wish it was a little more of what I expected. Joaquin Phoenix's hotness makes up for it, though.
You know what's annoying? Watching guys play video games all day. I have nothing against them playing, but if my boyfriend invites me over, I kind of figure that means we would do something together. I don't expect to sit around for a few hours watching him and his friends play games. If I were into playing video games, then I would join them and it would be great. But I'm not, so it sucks. 
Anyway, I'm off to find a movie on tv and then I'm going to bed. Night.

What a boring weekend I had. I worked on Saturday, and later that night I went over my mom's to help her set up her new computer. It's actually her first computer. My mom is kind of slow when it comes to technology. She used to work with computers at her job over 10 years ago, but hasn't really since. Obviously, computers have changed alot, so she actually decided to take an Intro to Computers class. She has learned to use alot of programs, such as Word and Excel, but still didn't know how to put the computer together and install programs. So I did all that for her. I think I take a little pleasure out of the fact that I'm better at using computers than her. She's really smart and is mostly right when I challenge something she claims. It's kind of cool to have the upper hand for once.
On Sunday, I felt like utter crap. I stayed home and lounged. A part of the reason I felt like crap was because Tyler was in Maine for a few days, and he called me like, twice. I missed him, and was worried. Ugh, I sound like a pathetic girlfriend 
. He came back Monday night, and it was so nice to see him.
Yesterday I found out which residence hall I'll be staying in and who my roommates are. I'll be staying in Reefe Hall. Here's more pictures of the inside. I'm happy I got this hall, because it was my first choice. The rooms are pretty big and we get our own bathroom. I have two roommates. It'll be strange to share a room, considering I've never had to share one. It'll be hard as well, because I tend to get a little territorial when it comes to my stuff. Hopefully the Residence life staff matched up my roommates and me well.
Yesterday I made a new layout. It's still giving me some trouble though, even though it's one of the simplest ones I've made. I hope I'll be able to put it up soon.

Ugh. Today was such a crappy day. It poured this morning, and I had to work all day at the zoo. Now, seeing as I'm working in a zoo whose business is dependent on good weather, and that it was still drizzling as I drove to work, I think it's pretty safe to say that I wouldn't be getting many customers in the gift shop. That is, unless the dark clouds would decide to miraculously disappear, and a beautiful blue sky would take their place (for the record, that didn't happen). In the span of 8 hours, I had two customers, with the total sales just under $10. Pathetic. I tried to read The Question of God, which is my summer reading book for one of the classes every freshman has to take at the university (Summer reading for college? Yes, it's weird). That didn't last very long. It's a good book, but some chapters don't interest me very much. I just sat there doing nothing for awhile. I think I actually fell asleep in my chair for a few minutes, though. I also did some word puzzles. What fun. 
Later on, I went over to Tyler's house, and we watched The Boondock Saints. I thought it was a pretty good movie. I really like how some of the scenes were played out. Willem Dafoe was great in it. Overall, it's a great comedic action film.
I guess I'll be going to bed now, since it's almost 4:00am. Heh. I get to sleep in late tomorrow, or rather this morning, so it's okay to go to bed this late

Why, hello. I know it might not seem like it, but I do remember I have this site. Really. Did that sound convincing? Heh. Anyway, I guess I should do a little recap of what I've been up to.
I graduated in June and I will be starting my freshman year at Salve Regina University in September. I'm going to major in nursing. I'm excited, but very nervous. It's only a little over a month away.
I finally got a new job last May. It's a cashier position at the gift shop in Capron Park Zoo. It's a cool job, but can get a bit boring. I get to read alot though, since it doesn't get very busy in the zoo or shop.
Mostly I've been hanging out with Tyler. It's great to just sit around the house doing nothing during the lazy days of summer with him. We eat out alot and watch movies. Things are going great with us, and I'm very happy with him.
Last Saturday I saw The Notebook with my mom. I really liked it. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are great actors and had good chemistry. It was very sad though. All you could hear as the credits rolled were sniffles.
That's it for now. I will definitely try to blog more. Later

Wow. It's been awhile, huh? I've been around. I guess I just lost interest in having a website for a bit there. My life has also been a little crazy the past couple of months. No one probably visits here anymore, but here's a summary of a few of the things I've been up to anyway.
I started my senior year, and it's been very tiring. I thought it would be easier than junior year at least, but alas, it isn't. My Calculus AP class is terrible. Usually I like math, but this? Not so much. I've been taking a Photo class, which I enjoy very much, even though my teacher reeks of alcohol every day. I also have Spanish AP, U.S. History, Critical Thinking and Writing, and Utopias (a literature class). I'm enjoying being a senior, because I'm finally able to pick on all the underclassmen. It's mean, but my class dealt with it when we were underclassmen. Although, the freshmen we have this year seem very disrespectful. They act like they own the school or something. It boggles my mind, because I remember when we were freshmen, we were scared of the seniors and wouldn't even go down the senior hallway. This year, the underclassmen have taken over the senior hallway practically, and now it takes forever to get through the masses of people. Don't you hate when people just stop in the middle of the hallway to talk with their friends, with no regard to the people trying to get by? Argh.
I've been dealing with the college stuff, as well. The college applications were such a headache, and I'm glad I'm done with all of them. I'm happy to say that I've been accepted to Salve Regina University (my top choice!) and University of Rhode Island. I'm just waiting on two more application decisions, and also to find out how much financial aid I'll get. I'm very very excited about college. I wish graduation would get here already. Only 3 more months!
I've been sick for the past two months. Not just with one thing, but I've had colds and infections. I can't even count how many times I've been to the doctor. I think there's been a total of 7 different ones. Blah. My immune system has been really weak lately, because it can't fight everything at once, and so now it's taking forever for things to get better. I had dental surgery last Thursday because there was an infection in one of my back teeth. My right cheek is still swollen, and when I smile I only half smile, because it hurts to smile on my right side. It looks kinda funny, heh.
This year I've gone and done something that I didn't think I would do for a couple of years. I've fallen in love. His name is Tyler, and we've been going out for almost 4 months. I met him through my best friend's boyfriend. He wouldn't seem like the guy I would normally go for, but there was just something about him. He's very different than me. For instance, I like r&b, whereas he likes classic rock. But he's such a great guy. He's funny, supportive, honest, and all these things that I usually look for in guys. I feel very lucky to have him. Sometimes I get scared that I may lose him. Lately I've been pushing him away without really realizing it. The other night we had a long discussion and I think I worked through some of my issues. He reassured me that he doesn't want to lose me either. I guess I just need to be more optimistic, because if I think bad things will happen, it's more likely that I will let them happen.
So, it's 4 am now. I suppose I should be getting to bed. I had vacation this past week, so this is the last day I can sleep in late. Goodnight, or actually good morning.
