NewTown.

I fully moved into NewTown today. I've been here for quite a few hours and I just got internet. Geez. I still don't have phone service, so I'm relying on Facebook, Twitter, and Skype to keep me connected to my family and Boyfriend. My room is pretty cozy. I have everything put away (for the most part) and the extra bed has now been made into a spare bed in case I ever have visitors that stay the night.

My next door neighbor is pretty cool. She's not a student for the summer, just working. I'm a little surprised that they let non-students stay in the dorms, but I guess it gives me someone to talk to if I'm ever desperately bored.

I found out that there's only two RAs for the whole building, so there's really no rules, which is pretty epic. Apparently there's a girl across the hall from me living with her boyfriend over the summer. Righteous.

My class starts tomorrow, and I'm totally not prepared. I have absolutely no idea how this is going to go. As of right now, I can't print anything because my printer isn't compatible with my MacBook (yet).

I feel really out of place here. I don't feel like I belong here at all. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I smoke like a train and swear like a sailor. It could have to do with the shot glass that's sitting on my desk in front of me. Who knows, maybe I'll find a group of Middle-Eastern loving hookah-smoking geeks this week.

This is me, and I'm just alive.

Parents...

I saw Monet's Water Lily triptych with my parents today. It was sooo beautiful! I was extremely impressed with the hugeness of it all. What disappointed me was all this "art" in the same half of the museum. It was terrible! It was modern, grotesque, and overanalyzed. Monet does not deserve to be housed in the same building as pornographic sketches. I finally got sick of it and went to the other half of the museum, which housed Rembrandts, Michaelangelos, and some pretty cool old stuff. It was really neat!

I finally told my mom about my terrible grade in medical terminology. She absolutely flipped a handle, which I felt was really unnecessary. She has been rolling on for the past two hours about how much of a disappointment I am to her. She just went upstairs a bit ago. This blows.

I said goodbye to Boyfriend until the 10th yesterday. We went and saw the UFC fights with a friend (which weren't all that exciting. Frank Mir really disappointed me!) and went to the hookah bar in the city so I could see a friend before I left. I'm going to miss him terribly, and I know I am going to be extremely bored in NewTown.

I move to NewTown tomorrow. I'm not excited at all. I don't want to move into a dorm. I don't want to take summer classes. I don't want my mother to be nagging me for the next eight weeks about how "this is your chance to redeem yourself!" I hate feeling like I'm second rate, but I know that's all it's ever going to be. Elementary school, middle school, high school, Anytown, NewTown, it's all the same.

This is me, and I'm just alive.

Time for some changes

And some serious change at that.

Finals went pretty well. I had to stay in a hotel during the week since I subleased my apartment early. It was super nice! King size bed, desk, couch, comfy office chair, and a HUGE flatscreen television! Quite distracting, but I still did well on all my finals.

I got a D in Medical Terminology, which blows. Needless to say, I'm pissed. Hopefully that's the only bad grade I have this semester =/

Last weekend was pretty legit. Boyfriend and I went to see POTC: On Stranger Tides on Friday. It was soooo good! We went to a club in the big city with his friends on Saturday night. BFF was supposed to go, but we couldn't get her twerp ex-boyfriend in, so she decided to stay home with him. *Tangent* This ASS cheated on her awhile back, and now he's just messing with her head. I don't like him and I told her that he was a dick. She left for Germany on Monday and Saturday was the last day that I was going to be able to see her, and she chose the rat bastard over me. That's some fucked up shit. *End tangent.* I have to say, I looked pretty damn hawt.

I moved into my dorm in NewTown yesterday and pretty much hated it. It's difficult to go from a nice, roomy apartment to a dorm room the size of my old bedroom. Major suckage. Hopefully I can move into an apartment after the summer. I seriously don't think I can live in a dorm for an entire year. I'll probably die if I have to. I don't get phone service in my room, so I have to get a landline. Oh, and we can't forget to mention the community showers. Fml. Eight weeks, girl, just eight weeks...

I'm home for the week, trying to empty my brain of any academic capability that would normally take a whole summer, before I leave for NewTown on Monday. Classes start next Tuesday. Yuckk.

Two more days of regular school!

And I got my apartment subleased today! I move out this Thursday, and my parents are getting me a hotel room for the rest of finals week. I'm kind of pumped to be staying in a hotel, actually. I like new scenery (plus the free breakfast isn't a bad deal, either).

I can't believe that I'm almost done with my sophomore year in college. I'm a little freaked out that time has passed so quickly; it seems just like yesterday that I was finishing my freshman spring finals and preparing for a summer filled with clubbing, pools, and hookah. This summer may be a bit different, but hopefully it will be just as fun.

I tried to call my academic advisor today at NewTown University. It went straight to voicemail, which doesn't make me feel too optimistic about moving to NewTown over the summer. Maybe it's for the best. I'll be closer to Boyfriend and all of my friends here in Anytown and also Hometown. I guess I'll go where God wants me to be.

I suppose I should procrastinating for finals. With three non-comprehensive finals, it's hard to start studying!

This is me, and I'm just alive.

Two more weeks!

School will be out in two weeks (and an 0730 final on Thursday...blech)! It's looking like I may not be moving to NewTown over the summer, but that won't get finalized until next week. I'm kinda sorta hoping that I can move to Hometown so I can spend more time with Boyfriend and all my other friends before I go to nursing school.

I'm totally procrastinating on writing this *last* lab report for the LAST LAB OF THE SEMESTER WOOOOO! I'm really pumped for this semester to end. I'm ready for a freakin break!

I've been thinking a lot about religion lately and what denomination of Christianity I should adhere to. After seeing Boondock Saints 1 & 2, I've really taken a second thought at Catholicism (ironic, right?). I'm not really a huge fan of some of the beliefs of Catholicism, but I love the rosary and the way Catholics pray. I also looked at the Church of Scotland, which would be promising if it weren't for it's Calvinist views. I need to do a ton more research before I start talking to people.

Boyfriend and I are doing really well. We're anxiously awaiting our anniversary and our birthdays. Hopefully I'll be closer so I can celebrate more with our friends.

Not much else to report. Hopefully after finals week, I'll be able to blog more often.

This is me, and I'm just alive.
