i ve been busy busy busy the past week & a half, & this is only the beginning! as you all know, i started my internship last tuesday, & i must say, i absolutely LOVE it! I get to call editors, go to meetings to pick out fabrics---a whole bunch of fun stuff. & i absolutely love being in New York, especially right by herold square & the fashion district! i swear, i feel like im in heaven from 8 45 am to 4 45 pm. 

the only thing that is kind of sucky is that i usually have to go straight from the train station to the mall to work at express from 6-close, but its not really that bad. theyve been putting me on register a lot more, and time flies when im doing that. plus im really starting to get the hang of it. i do returns like its nothing now, lol. 

friday i spent the day in long island at roosevelt field mall. talk about a blast from the past! the last time i was there i was like 10. but i was there to work, so it was only so much fun. i went with one of my managers and another associate to help process shipment at the new Express theyre putting in there. so basically i spen the whole day censoring clothes, but whatevs, a paychecks a paycheck. but i must say that is an amazing mall. i really had to restrain myself from spending my whole paycheck there. i was actually proud of myself because i stopped myself from buying a wallet at armani exchange (although now i wish i had gotten it =( ), a bunch of stuff at urban outfittters (it reminded me of philly being in there!!), and the only thing i got was a really nice blazer at forever 21. granted i could ve gotten it at home and avoided tax, but forever 21 isnt always consistant so i wanted to get it while i could (and sure enough i saw it at woodbridge whne i went shopping today, lol).

in non work related news, JP is officially back living at home, so no more nights in south orange. now its like we re in high school, lol, going to eachothers houses. its gonna be weird to not have his appartment to go to anymore, but i guess i ll get used to it. but it is kind of nice to have him a little closer now. its not closer by much, but id much rather drive down route 1 to new brunswick than up the parkway and through newark or union to SO. 

so yes, live is absolutely loverly right now! the rest of this week seems very promising--tomorrow i have a complete day off from my internship & express so i plan on sleeping late, going tanning, & going out with JP when hes done with work(& of course watch SVU at 10). wed i have the complete opposite day, work in the city and at express, but it should be okay. thursday i have work at both again but im getting out early from express and going out with kim (very much looking forward to that--i feel like i havent see her in forever!), then friday i have work at express most of the day & i ll probably try and see laura after becasue shes going to be home this weekend!!!!! finally saturday i have JPs cousins wedding in Pa so that should be fun. 

now that you know my whole life story, im going to go curl up under the covers and read.

peace.

so last night i went to south orange to see JP and ended up passing the fuck out, lol. when i got there i had my usual, a Jack & diet coke, but then they all decided to play baseball quarters. well, for one thing i didnt eat much yesterday, and i suck at the game (except when i m not on JPs team, then im good), and i ended up getting mad drunk. i actually said no to the hookah i was so drunk, lol, and i just went to bed, curled up in the fetal position and passed out. the last thing i remember is JPs roomate coming and closing the door to the room so i could sleep lol. blah blah blah, anywho, the moral of the story is that i have the best boyfriend in the world because he can put up with me when im drunk and take care of me (help me get changed and in bed). i swear i put him through hell last night (not on purpose tho i swear!)--i hit him in the balls when he was tickling me, threw a wallet at his face (i have horrible aim when im sober let alone drunk), and something else but i cant remember it, haha. but yes, even after all that he helped me get in my pjs and in bed (i love you babe, thank you so much). 

in other news this week is going to be veery interesting. tomorrow i have off but starting tuesday im gonna be a very busy girl. tuesday i start my internship, wednesday & thursday i have my internship from 8 45-4 45 then express 6 to close, then friday i have to be at the mall at 6 am to meet up with everyone to go to Roosevelt Field in long island to set up a new express there for 8 hours. should be quite a week...

2 days til i start my internship!!

so i must say i have the most amazing friends in the world.  After my little lj rant last night Herman came right to the rescue and invited me down to see him, so i spent the night at monmouth with him and his friends (even tho he didnt answer his phone for like 45 min bc he was playing scatagories, but some how i---the girl who cant find her way around her own house sometimes--ended up gettting to monmouth on my own and ended up finding his car in the parking lot i turned into, lol) and it was really fun. Jack Daniels & Nellys fat AXP (the trucks should seriously think about the addition of curly fries to their sandwiches haha) equals an awesome night--thanks herman!!!!! 

& i must thank my girls for commenting---one night i probably will be bored enough and end up driving to laura, lol and Em's right, i probably should start a project or soemthing...i think i ll start making xmas presents so i actually get them to people on time this year. & thanks to kim for suggesting  dancing with the stars---i didnt know emmit smith could dance, haha! so yes, i do believe my friends are amazing and i absolutely love them to death <33 btw it is a gorgeous day out! as gay as it may sound, on days like today i miss marching band practices bc they were a reason to be outside. instead im spendign this gorgeous day in a tanning booth and at the mall getting my hair cut, lol.

6 days til i start my internship!!!!! =)

even though today was a great day, it still ends in a shitty mood. all i wanna do is go out right now but theres no where to go and no one to go with. its like during the day im fine, i just keep myself busy. like today i got up early, went tanning, showered, ate some lunch, got evan, ran/worked out with him for a while, then got my sister, talked online for a while then ate dinner. now im done with dinner and have nothing to do---i like wanna shoot myself in the head im so bored. i dont even have anyone to talk to really. i dont wanna bother my friends (who are all at school) bc they have school and their own things to deal with and dont need to hear me complain about being bored, JP doesnt like to talk on the phone, and my family, well i just dont wanna talk to them. i just hate having nothing to do. i mean im probably gonna work out for a while and then i guess i could do my nails or clean my room or some shit like that, but i like dotn wanna be in this house right now. like how sad is it that im crying right now? im litterally so bored im crying, lol, its so ridiculous. for all the times i wished i was at home last year while i was a school, well i take that back, becasue being home isnt all i thought it would be. at least at school i could call one of my friends and be like im bored lets walk someplace, or lets watch a movie. but no, right now im sitting in front of a computer sulking like a pathetic jackass. ugh...i hate being bored.

so september is about halfway over & life hasnt been that horrible...i ve started working out more which is a big plus. i've been running on the treadmill everyday and burning between 200 & 350 cals (depending on how lazy i am lol) and then if im not too worn out, i ll ride the bike and do some crunches/push ups. makes me happy =)

i ve also been working maaaad hours & getting a lot of compliments at work on how much im improving. they taught me returns and exchanges last weeks, so now i have more responsability and more steady hours. and i got paid mad money today--i love payday!!!

when im not working i ve been hanging out with JP a lot, which isnt bad at all. SHU started school again so we ve been going to his friends partys and stuff---good shtuff. He got a job this week & im really happy for him, even though now we wont see eachother as much probably, i know how much he wanted a job so its all good. plus i ve kinda been liking having time to myself lately. summer gets so crazy with goin out every night and trying to make time to see everyone, and as much as i miss everyone, i like haveing some downtime where i can work out, do my nails, watch a movie----but if i have to much i get really antsy, lol and im relaly worried thats gonna happen soon.

just a little random side note, its funny how things can change so suddenly. like one minute youre close with someone and the next they have cut you out of their lives completely. its like you notice that your drifting away from eachother, and you try and try to get close again, but they find it easier to just break away and move on. you could be friends with someone for years, go through so many hard times and be really close with them, and then POOF! theyre gone. Even when your opinions clash or you disagree about something you always tried to be there for them to the best of your abilities but suddenly its not you they come to anymore. It makes me sad, but in a way i guess its for the best. i mean you cant force friendship, but its a shame when something you thought would never change does. i guess life takes unexpected turns and you just have to accept it and move on, & just remember all the fun you had.

blaah...so anyway now im just bored and at home waiting for dinner. i worked from 12-5 today and thank god i didnt have to stay for my call in becasue my feet were/are killing me! theyre my favorite shoes but damn my feet hurt! lol...i worked out already this mornign so i really have nothing else to do right now. i might be going out tonight for Evans birthday (whos finally 17 & can drive!!! lol) but that might be tomorrow, i dotn remember lol. maybe i ll go back to the mall and do some shopping---i got mad money to spend! well not really, but i do need some stuff...like shoes!!! hehehe! 

less than 2 weeks til i start my internship!! im so excited!!!!!

oh and im gonna start my "college tour" soon, lol. Philly will probably be the first stop, then Towsen to see rach possibly after the Nick Lachey concert in NYC, then of course to Boston to visit my beloved whore, lol! and the Jersey schools will be visited sparadically througgout the year, lol.

btw thanks for the shot glass jon!!!

labor day has passed, summer is over, september is here, and yet again that means that all my friends are off to school again & i am stuck here in edison. the only difference is that this year i wont even be leaving at the end of the month, oh no, im here til april. granted i have my boyfriend, and friends that are still in high school, and i will be starting my internship, but i am stuck living with my parents, which is a thought i am not too fond of. i ve only been home for about 4 months, not even, and i really want to kill my parents. oy...this is going to be an interesting 7 months to say the least. oh well, good luck to all of you who are back at school and enjoying your youth, as for me i will be stuck here, working 2 jobs, 1 for free, commuting to the city like a fucking adult, haveing the hap hap happiest frickin time of my life. sense the sarcasm?

so yea i lied...im probably gonna go home anyway this weekend. jon & herman were gonna come visit but they cant, & no one here seems to want to do anything EVER...except shop, & i spent 68 dollars on food & a track jacket yeserday so i like cant spend ANYTHING this weekend. so im gonna go home...lay in the sun all day...probably see jon, herman, and maybe---hopefully jp. oh & find a summer job. i ll go collect all the applications and shit and hopefully i ll get a good job for the summer...hell i ll start it now. its like there are moments when i really wanna make drexel work and i really try, but i just never seem to win. like i was really looking forward to the theatre thing, but it runs like smack dab in the middle of midterms, so i dont wanna put myself through that, especially after how much my grades sucked last term. i cant wait til this is over...

but i did have fun last night...i met up with a bunch of JPS kids in center city (ciara came with me) and we had a really great time. i wish we had done it sooner though, that way we could of kept hanging out. but everyone is leave like inthe next two weeks...and i am stuck here...for 50 more days! i m thinking of even droping my MTW class so i can have actual four day weekends...this school just brings the worst outta me. oh well, theres nothingi can do now except pray i get excepted to RU or SHU casue if not im stuck here...with 3 co ops and school in the summer...for an additional 4 years...wahoo...

i have 51 frickin days of school left! how gay is that?!?! iugh but im actually here this weekend so i might as well make the best of it. i emailed this girl about working in theatre so hopefully i ll get to do that to pass the time...i miss theatre. but its lil siblings weekend so partywise i dont know how much will actually be going on, & it will totally suck if im actually here & i cant get drunk. that would be utter disappointment!
but i am excited that everyone is gonna be gettin out of school soon, bc that means that people will A-come and visit me, & B-when i go home there are people for me to see. but i am sad becasue this means i wont get to see jp this weekend, which i am not accustomed to at all.

tonight should be fun, im going into center city to meet up with all the JP kids in philly, well the ones im friends with anyway, lol. should be fun! anywho im bored, but not bored enough to write a long ass entry. later my loves! <3Laur
