| a fast update.
-I am working at Pelican Harbor (Hood!) again this summer. Tomorrow starts training week and I should have been sleeping hours ago. Blah!
-I got a job with Bennigins, but I don't know if I'm going to keep it. I wish someone could tell me the right choice here.
-The magic number of the whole summer is 30. I'll leave it up to you to guess what the unit is. (gallons? hours? saves? concerts?)
-I have a month and three days left to be a teenager
-My house is in shambles. Apparently when my mother told my father she wanted tile in the entryway it translated to "We should redo the entire house. All at once."
-My parents are going to Vegas in the beginning of June. I don't think my party plan will work out considering they are leaving me with no kitchen sink, no stove, no dishwasher, no furniture downstairs.
-I haven't seen almost any of my high school friends/summer '04 friends yet and it's making me sad. Though the fault there is mine.
-I want to go to Cape Cod again this summer, but plane ticket prices are making me angry.
-I am a stingy tightwad and have been riding my bike everywhere to save on gas money.
-Speaking of bikes, my two goals for the summer are (1) ride my bike to Nick's in Hanover Park and (2) ride my bike to the city.
-I have my apartment for 9 more days.
-I love summer!

| I'm halfway through finals week and I'm exhausted. I have my sociology
100 final tomorrow and my intro to international relations on Thursday.
I've been basically napping my way through life for the past five days.
Can't really complain though. I'm sitting in Nicks room right now. I'm
taking my soc final with his roommate tomorrow because we're in the
same class and I'm going to sleep.... well stay here for the night
because if I do fall asleep... well my track record of waking up when I
intend to has been rather poor the past two days. Savvy will make sure
I'm awake and get to my final with him. We've all been sleeping in
shifts here at the 35th house since the weekend. I'll be up until four
or so, wake Nick up, I'll sleep, he'll wake Roman and Jim will sleep
Nick will wake me up later... except I pulled an all nighter last night
so I'm going to have to set an alarm and get some sleep tonight.
Nick isn't here, he and Jon and Roman are at studio. I think Nick's
planning on coming home to work at some point. I may be taking a nap on
the couch or up in his bed when that happens. They are all running on
adrenaline right now, crazy arch majors. I feel badly for them.
I had my physics and my sex 'n gender exams today, I think they went
okay and well, respectively. We'll just have to wait and see.
I really need to go and study some more. Good luck to all those in the
middle of finals, good luck to those who have yet to have them. TWO
F-ING DAYS UNTIL SUMMER.
That makes me so happy.

This night is a perfect shade of dark blue, dark blue.

| It's been a while since I've written one of these good old, it's three in the morning and I'm procrastinating whatever assignment that I should have done two weeks ago and it's due tomorrow entries. But these are always fun.
It's the week after spring break, I started my 2nd job this week at the new rec center. It's a beautiful building, that alone is probably going to be the biggest promotional ploy of our University for a long time. If I can I'll get some pictures up here because it's just that amazing. I'm working in the pool area as a lifeguard (who didn't see that coming?) but I think I'm probably going to end up killing every member on staff. I pride myself on being a good lifeguard and I don't know if I'm going to be 'chill' enough to work here. They don't have an EAP (emergency action plan) or whistle codes or anything. I've already sat down with my boss at least twice and I think I'm going to end up basically writing the plans and codes for this facility. My co-workers are going to hate me. Oh well, I'm going to hopefully be getting my belay license and transfering to the rock climbing wall. I just can't take sloppy guarding. Other than that though, the job is good, working this along with FAC is going to be difficult, but hey, you do what you have to.
I had two exams and a paper due earlier this week along with the one due tomorrow. I don't think the exams went very well. I'm really killing myself here grades-wise this semester. I'm hoping this paper I'm writing now will be good. I'm about 5 pages in double spaced and I think that I've totally deviated from my thesis, or perhaps I haven't even covered it yet. Oh the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was hoping to get a little help on it, but I think my help was busy tonight. If I had started sooner perhaps it would have worked out better for them. Hahaha, I really doubt it though.
Life other than that has been..... good. Today felt like the first true day of spring. I love warm weather. I come alive in the sun, and there's nothing more cheerful to see than a happy Miranda. I used to like the winter as well. It used to go that I liked whatever season came after the one I was in the middle of, if that makes any sense. But because of the past couple of years, that has changed. Everything just seems to go badly for me as leaves start to drop from the trees. I know that it probably only seems that way or perhaps I've just had a run of sour luck around that time the past couple of years, but I've noticed it this year for the first time how anxious I got as the weather started getting colder. It could just be a carryover, you know, memories from last year affecting me, but that seems silly. Silly and probably true, knowing me. 
The question I guess becomes, would I want to erase all of that? And what would the consequeses be if my answer was yes? Oh the ponderings I come up with in the wee morning hours.
Meeting Nick's family went really well, his parents are nice and his brother is really funny. They're a young family it seems, and they also seem genuinely funny and caring. I felt pretty welcome. Even more so with his friends, who are incredibly fun to hang with, even if Dan's roommates drank all my drinks! Dan, Nick's best friend will be living in a house in Naperville this summer near my family's apartment from so long ago, so I know where I'll be partying this summer! *excitment!!*
Summer. Please hurry.
My parents are going through this whirlwind of changing things. I don't get to go home very often anymore so it's quite strange. They are basically altering the inside of our entire house. They redid their bedroom last semester; last time I went home there was new tile in their new bathroom, and I had a brand new bathroom complete with tile; next time I go home from what I've heard I'll be facing new tile in the entryway, 1st floor bathroom and pantry, hardwood floors in the living room and dinning room, a bright red accent wall (my parents never paint like this) new funiture in the living room, a newly decorated hot tub room and a flat screen tv in the family room. I won't even recognize my house!! Ah well, they're happy and healthy so more power to them. Make hay while the sun shines.
I don't even know how long this is, probably longer than my paper, haha. So for all those who made it to the end, congrats, leave me a comment, lol. I hope you have a wonderful day!

| I find if I got the RA job tomorrow. I think the letter is sitting in my apt. mailbox.
I'm so scared/nervous/upset/on edge. All of the above.
What a crappy week this has been, but an awesome one at the same time.....
I wish I wasn't such a head case.
