lemons.

I haven't written in here in a loooong time. Shucks. Here is a brief overview of my life for the past two weeks:
Eric and I went shopping for clothes and other fun school essentials. I bought SO MANY new outfits. Absurd, I know, but I hadn't bought new clothes in a long time. I got lots of grown-up attire for my life.
School started. Woo. Classes aren't bad at all; this semester is looking to be very easy and fun. One of my teachers actually told me that I'll be bored in her class because I'm "above" it, and that I can either drop it or stay in it for an "easy" class. I love being a senior English major.
Eric got his wisdom teeth out, and he did very well--minimal swelling with only occasional acute pain. On the other hand, that same day, apparently, I had a "mini seizure" and passed out in the middle of Greco's. They called 911, and EMT's came and poked me around with blue rubber gloves. So that was an interesting time in my life.

kudo.

my head hurts. i've been at work all day, and i've gotten SOOOO much done. woo! but, about an hour ago, they decided to test the fire alarms in the building for 20 minutes...and now i have a headache. poo.
we've gotten lots of applications sent in from incoming freshmen to work at the call center this year. i like being important enough to hire people, write handbooks, and make my own lists of guidelines & rules for this place. and a shirt.
tomorrow, eric and i are going to geaga lake for the day. i'm super excited! we will have lots of fun and quality bonding time. also, we'll get sweaty, eat unhealthy food, and hurl through the air at obscene speeds--snaps for amusement parks.
i used some of that john frieda color glaze last night, and i don't think it did anything to my hair at all. maybe i need to get the darker kind. or maybe i need to just dye really dark again. hmm.
i could really go for some vanilla frozen yogurt right now. yummy. and i want some fresh strawberries to accompany it, please. or fresh cut peaches. and some angel food cake. sigh.
i have been having terrible luck with that bathroom stuff that i ordered from walmart. first, they sent the whole shipment back to the store because i wanted it sent to a po box (the site didn't say that i couldn't!). so, i reordered. i got my rugs and bathroom accessories the other day. and a glow-in-the-dark doodle bear. but, no shower curtain. A GLOW-IN-THE-DARK DOODLE BEAR INSTEAD OF A SHOWER CURTAIN?! seriously. i've called walmart's hotline about 7 time reguarding this order so far...

jinx.

i am now, once again, a happy resident of campbell village. i love my bedroom, i love my bathroom, i love our living room, i love our kitchen, and i love the air conditioning!
yesterday, i ate one of those snack wraps from mcdonalds. it was SO GOOD. chicken tender wraps absolutely top the list of foods that i like--even when they're from mcdonalds.
last night, i went home. i had to climb through a window to get inside, and it hurt a little. i got a bruise on my leg. but, i got to pet the fuzz!
i FINALLY bought my very own blender. it is beautiful, and there are lots of speeds to set it on. i washed it last night, and i can't wait to blend things!
i am soooo tired. a nap would do a a million worlds of good today. there is soo much to unpack and get organized in cv that i can't go to bed early because i want to get it finished. maybe tonight.
my throat hurts a little bit. my boyfriend is sick....now i am getting there. blah.

iceburg.

i just emailed mr in-charge-of-housing and told him how vitally pertinant to my well-being moving TODAY into campbell village is. within 30 minutes, he told me that i may come get my keys and move. fun activity after work: hauling everything across campus and settling into my brand new room. YAY!
i went to the library this morning to find something to read...too bad the fiction section leaves so much to be desired. all that's left is an overwhelming abundance of trashy romance novels and educational books that take too much to read for purely for mindless pleasure. good thing school is starting soon and i won't have time for boredom reading because i'll be busy reading intelligent things and learning.
when i was little, i loved to eat raisins. my mom hates raisins, and for some reason that i cannot remember now, i stopped liking them as well. i hadn't eaten a raisin in well over 10 years until a few nights ago. i was eating trail mix and decided to try a raisin. i decided that i liked it, and i ate a bunch. last night, i ate one and redecided that i don't particularly like raisins.
a very scary wasp was just flying all around me. I KILLED IT. i've never killed a wasp all by myself before; i'm too scared of them. i killed this one with a big usps crate, a book, and moral support over the telephone. i hate wasps.

hugs.

yesterday was the official halfway point of the summer. to commemorate this date, i accompanied eric in a major cleaning and rearranging of his bedroom. we also ate pizza and ice cream.
i get to move back into campbell village verrrrrrry soon! yay. i can't wait for my room. and my own clean duck bathroom. and my new posters. and air conditioning. and all of the other amenities that rank cv over harlan.

IT'S FRIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAY!!!!!!! tgif, really. this has been the absolute single longest week of my whole entire life. i don't know why, but it's been a terrible week. the first part was much worse than the past couple of days, but nevertheless, t'was a rotten week overall.
i have recently become a top notch pina colada maker. bananas, pineapple, pina colada mix, pineapple rum, ice cubies, a $400 blender, and my own special touch makes for the absolute best mixed drink everrrrrr!
new thing for me to do at work: go through every single student involvement transcript for the class of '06 and enter all of their data into the alumni datatel program. it's actually sort of interesting, and it's giving me something to do. woo. obviously, i am taking a blog break right now.
yesterday, i ordered a whole bunch of bathroom decor for my bathroom in campbell village this year. i'm decorating the whole thing with rubber duck stuff. the giant yellow duck rug was a little too much, but i bought everything else! also, i ordered some new posters for my bedroom. super excitement for decorating my very last dorm room!
rather than run off to graduate school immediately after graduation next year, i might do something else. something really nuts. like move to europe and teach english!! it would be a very fun and very awesome addition to my resume.
we recently had an office luncheon at pier 12 in wellsburg. i do recommend that restaurant; the food was good, and it has a nice dining room over the river. also, there is a pier. during lunch, i sat next to sven, the mayor of bethany. love it. and he bought our food. most people only dream of knowing the MAYOR of bethany, wv. hah.
i drank an alligator ice yesterday. it was red. and it made me ill.
