I don't know when I'll be back again...

So, its an hour until I leave lovely Rutgers for my holiday break. I AM DONE! Done with Finals, Papers, Class, everything! *does a dance. I'm still packing, but that will be done soon as well. Sassy and Dana are on their way to get me. *sigh* me love them.

I had a crazy ass weekend. Holiday Party at Easton was very fun, sadly I was sick so I really wasn't in the mood to participate as much as I would have, but it was fun watching the gingerbread houses being built. Ohh and I got books Jon Stewart's America, which i will promptly read. THANKS ASH! and Mo Rocca Book from Em and A Bush Survival Guide from Kate. You all rock. From the party I went in to the cit-ay and hung out at Keats (my Uncles restaurant) with Sassy, Cat, Megs, Mike and Dana. It was kareoke nite, and we got up there and all sang Spice Up Your Life by the Spice Girls ( I was Baby Spice, and I know, I'm not blond, but none of us are). We were very popular. I can't wait to do that again.

Well what else can I say? This sesmester was awesome, especially getting to know some new people, and gettng better aquainted with those I already knew. Just a few shoutouts:

Card-carrying Rutgers Clubbers...boo yeah!
Intermezzo- stolen rice crispy treat snow men, stolen cider, stolen pie
Halloween at that very awesome basement party
LENNART!
Philip Seymour Hofman (love ya Em)
That 1 awesome movie nite...lol
too many parties to count
CAT!

And to the people that won't be here:
I Love you, ASHLEY, VIKI, AND KATE! Bring me back a cute Austrailian/Hungarian/British Dude!

Gotta run..see you all very soon~

There is just one thing I need...

So, I'm not a bad updater. I DID update last week..and blogger killed it. It took me so long to write and I was so mad that I decided not to update at all. Yeah I give up easily. SInce that time I've gone to the movies three times. Here are my reviews:
Finding Neverland- See It.
Ocean's 12- Skip it
Closer- ehhh, See it, its confusing yet good in some ways..The acting is superb.

Now that that's out of the way" I've been great lately. Very busy with just life in general. RCGA meeting lasted almost 3 hours on Tuesday, but the end of the semester party was a blast. *sniff* Last Rutgers Club was on Thursday, and Mel got the great idea to make Rutgers Club Membership cards that everyone signed and got lamenated as a little goodbye gift to Viki and a cute trinket for the rest of us.
And also, Viki wants to be my roomie for next year! Viki=Awesome and I'm really jealous of Hungary since they get to keep her for the next 9 months..blah!

Our last Intermezzo was awesome as well, only a small group of about 9 of us (instead of 15) eating good food, stolen rce crispy treat snowmen, and a really cute picture of all of us with Santa. Got to see "6 Characters" which was very well done, and Saturday I got to go do some more X-Mas shopping avec Matthew. Mel and Ash (who is also leaving soon, Lucky Australia...) Well I have two papers and a final left, not much I know, but enough to keep me on my toes. I'm really happy to be going back home, I miss my peeps, but it sucks to be leaving knowing that I'm gonna be missing so many people when we get back..

See ya later..and leave comments, I know you read this thing!

When she dances, she goes and goes...

Yo ho all,
I had a very successful weekend, socially and not academically,which is not good. Friday night was a blast, we had Thanksgiving dinner at Intermezzo with a party of about 11 people. Basically it was 2 hours of food, fun, stolen bottle of apple cider (yeah, that was all me), fake drunken toasts (me as well) and a stolen pumpkin pie (thanks to Steinhart). Afterwards was Bridget Jone II which was awful, and late nite party at Carrie's. Weirdest part of the night was the 3:30 ride on the drunk bus when our driver believed himself to be Don Johnson from Miami Vice and chased a kid who was outside running from the RUPD (chased him meaning almost ran him over with the bus) We then got to watch the poor, drunk (and very stupid) kid get arrested and thrown on the ground. I felt like I should have been filming it. Bad boys, bad boys..whatcha gonna do?

CAP party on Saturday nite was excellent as well, although all my clothes reeked of cigarettes and pot when i got back. grrr.

ooh, and in other news, the lovely Kala got cast in "Quilt" for next semester (if only we knew what role she was playing). *sniff* I'm just so proud!

I've been feeling much better as of late, just in general. I got out of my little rut, happily. Hopefully i won't be thrown back into it when I go home for Thanksgiving. I'll just have to do my best to stay out of my house, and hanging out as much as possible with mis chicas. I'm leaving Tuesday, around 3 and meeting up with the delightful Missy. I totally miss my home-people.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone if I don't see you before I leave.
Peace and love, and turkey (or tofurkey, if you swing that way)

Life Goes Easy On Me....most of the time

Hi Friends,
Whoa...mucho has occurred in the last couple of days. Lets give the rundown. Friday, Intermezzo fun, with LOTS of people. I just love how it snowballed (although I was a bit perturbed at the time). Its crazy when you invite people to come somewhere, and not only does everyone say they can come, but they have pals who want to come with them. So finally I was just laughing and like, fuck it, bring everyone! Two tables full of people and two hours later, we went to the A Capella competition. Cornell sucks..wow..that girl should have been arrested for butchering what used to be an ok Evanescence song. Rutgers won 1st Runner up, so thats hot.
Saturday was much fun with squeezing 12 people (rather comfortably) into my room for double feature movie nite. The Usual Suspects and Dogma were shown, and much fun was had by all. We must do it more often, and thanks to those who came and spruced up my Sat. nite ;) Monday, I went down to Trenton to Lobby for March of Dimes w. Jenn from RCGA. It totally rocked, as we got to see our new Governor Codey address the Senate for the first time, as well as chat up some legislators about the importance of MOD. I don't know if I'm cut out for lobbying though...ya gotta be able to sell an idea quickley to people who are busy and usually not extremely interested. And you have to beat out the lobbyists who are offering lots of financial backing (politically speaking). Not-for-profits don't have the means to do that, obviously.
In other news I've been a very blah person around here lately. Can't get out of my little rut, and situations around here aren't making it any easier. I chalk it up to a need to go home and see my chicas. I guess I'm ready to not be here anymore, and not just for a month like in winter break. I need a change, which is too bad I'm stuck here coz of Eagleton, now when I'm finally ready to study abroad, i can't. I'm a stupid crazy person. How will I ever surivive like this?

Its the Danger in the Dancing that makes it worth the while...

Well I've been in the weirdest mood lately. I'm stuck somewhere between content and annoyed, both of which are emotions that offer nothing to me. I'm quite uninterested in feeling this way at all. And to think that two weeks agao I was feeling quite exhilerated and happy. Stupid swings...

I'm at work at the moment, which in and of itself it quite boring, but it'll be over in a half hour so I can't complain. I'm quite glad that this week is moving quickly, as tomorrow will be Rutgers Club night, and I need my weekly fix of laughter and mirth, and much sooner than usual.

RCGA totally rocks my world. I've been to two meetings and a Legislative Affairs meeting and its just awesome. I should have joined it sooner. The people are great, the stuff we talk about really matters for Rutgers, and because of them I'll be lobbying in Trenton next Monday for March of Dimes, and get to meet some people, and do some things for a really great cause. I miss my community service stuff. I did so much of it in highschool and I just never got comfortable in RU til the end of last year. Stupid me, I should have tried harder anyway.

My Sister Alison has offered to pay for my sister and I to take the train from England to Paris this summer. I'm ecstatic about that because it just seems like the idea that we're going is getting more real. I'm really sick of just saying we're going to go somewhere or do something and we just don't. What a waste of life, you know?

K, I'm leaving in 6 minutes...time for Food, laundry, LOST and West Wing..an homework I'm sure.

Later...

As you all know, John Kerry is not our new President, we're stuck with our shitty old one..which sucks. I was personally heartbroken, both yesterday when it was going poorly, and today when Kerry gave his concession speech. I finally broke down when Kerry was speaking...it feels like its a bad thing to align yourself so closely to politics like I did. I was so drawn in, and I wanted him to win so badly that when he lost, it feels like all my motivation has been drained from me. School, fuck school. Bush is given reign for 4 more years, years which may prove even more deadly than the previous ones. I'm trying not to be so intense about it, but I can't not. This is the way i feel about politics..its deeply embedded in my system and its not going anywhere. Its quite painful to be on the losing side, i know this, but imagine how great it would have been if we had won. That woulda been a high I'd have been riding for a long time. That high was worth the risk to me. Gamble big, lose big I guess. See, this is probably one of the reasons why I'm a Mets Fan. When you lose, it sucks..but oh, when you win...it is insanely great. Its worth all the losing.

Its going to take me a long while to get over thing election, maybe 4 months, maybe 4 years, who knows?
I'm looking forward to hopefully getting away from this country for a while. London with my girls in the summer, and maybe Peru in the late summer for school.

Everything up to the elction had been going great though, Halloween was a blast, we went to an awesome house party of Douglass..much dancing, music, fog machine, etc. I've made some new friends in the last few weeks from work and from RCGA and Cabaret. I love hanging out with people.

I just wish this week was over. I have a midterm tomorrow, but then I have Rutgers Clubbing.. Melissa and Emma Strike Back! Old School RC back together again...oh baby. Though sadly our lovely Viki will be leaving us, and we'll have to replace her with someone else, who will probably be less spunky and have less dredlocks. Oh dear.

Hopefully movie this weekend, and Intermezzo on Friday. SARAH MIGHT BE COMING! Yay, me gusta.
(Seriously anyone, I Heart Huckabees or Alfie?)

I'm starting to feel better...

I am A Bad Person

Hi All,
So I never update because I'm an asshole, and I'm sure no one reads this thing coz I'm also quite boring. Everything has been going great as of the last month. I've never been in better spirits really. I've kinda formed some sort of force field around me, and all the things I don't like just kinda bounce off it. It's nice, coz I usually let those things bonk me on the head, but everyday I'm in a "No, not today" kind of mood. No reason for me to be pissy or unhappy, I'm nice. Nice is nice. Late last week I found out that I'm an Eagleton Undergraduate Associate. WOOT! (All non-Rutgers people go "whaaa?") Its a program that is offered to Rutgers Poli Science Students their junior year of college, and only 25 people get into it. We learn about the processes and practice of politics and get hooked up with a hot internship. Booyeah. I'm quite excited about it, but quite pissed coz my pal Maggie didn't get into it (damn magic 8 ball) but happy that my friends Cass and Ed will be there.

Yesterday Mel and I went to the Rutgers College Governing Associate and were chosen to be Class Represenetaives for the class of 2006. We just went to see what they were all about after reading about it, and no one else was really run, so we went for it. I really hope I get on their Legislative Affairs commitee, they take trips to the state legislature all the time which would be sweet. It seems really cool, they work on a parlimentarian debate system so I have a lot to learn about the runs and such. It'll be good practice though.

It's less than a week til the election and I'm so nervous I could faint. I will probably have an ulcer by the time the results come out. If Kerry doesn't win, well theres really nothing I can do about. But Baker thinks hes got a shot, and I trust Prof. Baker. He's the man.

so brothas and sista, go vote, or i may have to hurt you. LATER!

Somewhere only we go

Hello all,
Well, looks like I'm following suit nicely by not updating this very much, just like my live journal. Go me. At the moment I'm at my job at Helpdesk, 10 minutes from freedom, booyeah. Sadly, a mountain, nay, a freakin Mt. Everest of work awaits me. I got A LOT of work done over the weekend, but I also slacked a bit. I saw both Wimbledon and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Wimbledon was cute, Sky Captain was visually stunning, but the plotlines were kinda blah. I'm glad I got to see both of them, now I won't have to go see a movie for atleast another 2 weeks. Maybe I'll finally get some real work done...then again...

I really thought I actually had something of substance to say on here, besides acting like Mr. MovieFone. Blast!

Um, you guys rock... TTYL!

A time of innocence, a time of confidences.

I was at home over the weekend, really just Friday and Saturday. It's so cold in Vernon and the leaves are just starting to change. More than that, there is that very familiar Vernon Fall smell. I can't explain it, but it makes me think of Back To school stuff. I got all confused because it felt like I was still in highschool for like a minute. Makes me kinda sad because it makes you miss the people that you don't get to see as often, makes you miss people that you're no longer friends with.

But blah to that. Everything else has been going great. Classes rock, Washington DC was freakin awesome. I met a bunch of Senators and Congressmen, and decided that DC is it for me. Its where I want to be for either Law School or Grad School. I made a couple connections in Corzines office and I'm just so excited about maybe working on the Hill someday. We also had great dinner conversation at a very nice French restuarant. We talked for like 3 hours about anything political. It was respectful, and very heated at times, and philsophical at times, but really really great.

This week won't be as exciting, hopefully Mel and I will get to go see Sky Captain and/or Wimbledon. Too many movies, so little time.

If anyone knows how you can add picrtures to the profile on this thing, please leave a comment. Thanks! Later!

For the first time...

So,
Damn I've had this blog for about two months and I've done nothing with it. Actually, thats a lie, I've been fooling around with it, trying to figure out how to load a picture on it,

but no go. I'll figure it out one of these days. I decided to get a blog because a) I'm sick of my livejournal and b) its free and nothing is stopping me. woot.

I'm hoping that this blog will be a lot more upbeat than my livejournal which became like a temple of misery. It makes no sense to just write in the thing only when you're pissed off right?

All right, got to get back to the Sunday night homework that awaits.

I'm staring. Thats incredibly rude of me. I apologize.
