Oh the weather outside is frightful
Wow, Boston is just recovering from a snow storm, I have been stuck at Matt's dorm for the second day in a row and will be missing class tomorrow due to a driving ban. While this sounds fun, tomorrow is my last day of french and American civ and I will be missing the review I so desprately need. Grr I hate snow. Not to mention that my boots are in my room 10 miles away and I have been taking on the storm in my red sneakers that get wet the second I step foot into the snow.
I have $200 dollars in my bank right now and I am hoping to make $200 in returning books so that I can make the $400 deposit for my new school that is due soon. Not to mention that whole christmas thing. The deposit will take up all of the money I have had saved for christmas. The factory I was hoping to work at over break shuts down for the week of christmas and then it will be another two weeks before I get my first pay check. Talk about a lousy holiday, oh well I am not homeless and I keep telling myself that so that I don't feel as bad. My mom is gonna be pissed that I won't have any presents for everyone. Strangely I bought hers before my economic depression but then her birthday is the day after christmas and I have no gift for that. Sometimes you just can't win. Graa.
I love the family guy, I am sorry that I didn't watch it when the episodes were coming out new. The stuff is so random and hilarious. Okay there is a free midnight breakfast at matts school that I need to take advantage of, because I have never been one to turn down free food and that explains a lot. goodnight.

Movin' on up to the east side...
Yesterday I was informed that I got into both of the schools that I applied to this semester. I am going to tour the remaining one on Saturday before I make a final decision, but the one that I toured last time will be tough to beat. I am very excited to get the hell out of here (my roomate was even more thrilled then I was). You know how the day that you know you are going to get your hair cut, your hair looks better than it ever has? Thats kind of how Curry College was for me today. I want to get out of here, I want to be more in the city, I want my old major, and I want to be closer to matt, but I spent the whole day today hanging out with these kids that I hang out with once in a great while, and I had like the best time. They are all pretty good friends because they've been hanging out together all the time this semster so I knew I was a bit out of the loop but I know that if I hung out with them a little more I would totally be in with them. And even though I was still technically out of the group I had an amazing time. Moving on, I've been thinking about my factory job that I have to go back to this christmas break and I am really dreading it. Thank god it will probably only be for like two or three weeks. I hope I can even get through that much, how did I ever do it this summer?
OMG My roommate is watching real sex on HBO and trying to pass it off like she's watching it because it's the funniest thing she's ever seen. Yeah sometimes its funny when you catch it when flipping channels but if you aren't really interested, you don't watch it for the full hour by yourself. She had a guy in here earlier and my friend Ferris and I were trying to embarass her and it was hilarious. She has been such a slut lately. There were three different guys in here this week. I gotta give her props for catching so many guys when she doesn't believe in pre-marital anything (and she's startlingly ugly), thinking about it, forget the props those guys probably didn't realize that she wasn't into naked time until halfway through the chick flicks she made them each watch. No wonder why it was a different guy each time, not to mention they were mad weirdos. The guy tonight had crooked and some missing teeth and could not pronounce his s's...real winner.
Matt has been working on his final projects non-stop which is good because he's such a procrastinator but I really miss him. I haven't really seen him at all since we've been back from thanksgiving break. Thats been really hard for me. And Mary Kate Maloy I miss her too I've seen her for only two hours in three months and then she was off to penn. I wondered if her lecturing aunt had murdered her because I hadn't seen or heard from her, she hasn't updated her journal and for a while she wasn't on aim.
How do I check this elmwoodstrip mail? I have no concept of where I retrieve it, someone let me know. So much more to say but not enough time to say it, story of my life. Alrighty tv and bed call...goodnight everyone!

Growel
So it's 1:16 in the afternoon and I recently just got up. I guess I shouldn't be suprised that I missed both of my classes today because it happens so frequently but I am pretty mad at myself for letting it happen again. I think it's just that I know I can pass without going and that I really hate being here, but I forget that attendence does count as part of my grade here and I should have learned after failing my english class my first semester freshman year because I missed too many classes. I hope that they would at least tell me that I was in danger of failing because of attendence but they didn't with my english class at mo-ville so again I should know better. Grrr. I won't get to see matt until at least tomorrow night and that depresses me because seeing him is generally what I look forward to after being stuck in this hole. I have crap to do today and I guess I should get started on it but then the depressed side of me is saying to sit around in my pajammas all day, but I like variety and I did that yesterday.
I really wish I had some friends down here it's not so fun spending all day alone and waiting for the few hours at night when I get to see Matt. It's pretty pathetic. It would be so nice to have friends here because there is so much stuff to do in Boston and it would be nice to try a lot of new things, but I generally don't want to do things by myself. It kinda sucks because Matt litterally only gets off his campus on the weekends and only then if there is good reason to. I would love to do fun stuff during the week, it would break things up and probably take away some of the depression or at least the focus on the depression, but Matt either has to much work, or wants to relax because he's had too much work. I need some friends bottom line. I guess I am going to have to make a conscious effort to make friends at my next school. However if I go to my first choice school there are only 600 students and that could be a problem.
Okay it's about time I showered and attempted to do something with my day. I will probably update later when I have something worthwhile to say about my day. Later.

Turkey day
So I didn't end up going to La Luna witht the crew last night, but I hope they all got in and I hope they had fun. I spent most of yesterday cleaning my house while my mom cooked. The bathroom that my brother and I use was a serious disaster area. My brother alone makes more of a mess in a bathroom than all 7 guys in Matts suite. It was gross to clean let me tell you.
Later Matt and I went to the Galeria Mall. I haven't been there in three months but it felt like I never left. I bought a really cute zipper buffalo hoodie and some black heels, both under $10. I kept shopping for myself using the excuse that I would need something to wear on christmas, when I should have been shopping for christmas. I did end up buying my mom's christmas present though. I have no idea what to get Matt, usually by this time I am hunting down some great gift online or something. I really hope that I come up with something soon.
Today is turkey day, I already ate dinner and a piece of cherry pie and it is only 5. My family ate dinner at 2:30 can you believe how early that is? Matt makes fun of my family for all being old and eating early. Whatever I guess.
I made a kick ass chocolate pie to bring to Matt's grandma's for dessert later. It is always so funny to me how I change from my being at home mode to my being around Matt's family mode. I turn into like susie houswife when I am around them and I don't even realize I do it until after I leave. I almost wish someone could videotape it so I could watch it and laugh at it later. Whatever, it's something you have to do when you want to get into the family someday.
Alright I have to go get my clothes out of the drier so I can change and be ready to go to Matt's. Goodnight everyone and Happy Thanksgiving.

Almost there...
Just read everyone's newest entries and have to ask when Jill took up pedifilia? And why is what Demi Moore taught us significant? I was confused...Mk's journal made me long to be home, getting some baskin robbins with everyone. Can you believe I haven't seen you guys in 3 months?? It seems so very long, but yet it seems to have flown by. I haven't updated in a few days which is pretty unlike me. I was at Matt's the whole weekend (usually we stay at my room friday night and his sunday). Matts roomates all went home this weekend so it seemed so quiet in Matts room. Friday night We chilled indoors watching standup on comedy central, and then we played a three hour game of monopoly (seriously it was three hours long, we are mad losers). Saturday we toured my first choice school, Fisher College, which was amazing. It is exactly what I want all around and I am dying to get in, but there are only 600 people in the school and it is pretty selective so only time will tell. The psychic on halloween did say I would be getting very good news in 6 weeks so hopefully this is it. After touring the school Matt and I walked the neighborhood around it called beacon hill. It is the most exspensive district in all of Boston. It looks kind of like a villiage in England and there are women with burberry scarves and designer shoes walking little dogs every five feet. You can always tell whether the area is a good area in Boston, by whether or not the servers in their starbucks speak english fluently without an accent, and they did in that neighborhood. It's right across from the public gardens and Boston Common and next door to the ritz carlton and it has a great view of the charles river. I love being able to sit in one spot and have 20 dogs come up to me.
After walking around for forever, we went to the common and sat by the pond and watched the ice skaters. I was really missing everyone at that point, I really want to show you guys winter in the city. There were groups of friends skating at the common and it just seems like something we would deffinately have to do when you guys come here. If and when you guys get here you are going to get the most amazing whirlwind tour.
After the park we took a train to this scarry part of cambridge in a mad search for a KFC someone told us about like a month ago. We had been craving KFC for a while and we once went out on a wild goose chase to find one and couldn't, but someone told us about this one out in cambridge. Why we decided to go out there that night I don't know. So we took this train there and it was only 5ish, but it was already dark, so we had to walk through this, what looked scarry neighborhood, but it may have only been scarry because it was dark out. Anyway we got our KFC, but it really didn't taste the same as at home for some reason. After that we took a train back to Matt's area to see Cat in the Hat at the fenway theater. Have you guys seen this yet? I enjoyed it, matt enjoyed it more than I did, but I deffinately don't think I would have taken a little kid to see that movie. There were a lot of little kids in the theater and they didn't seem to get the jokes the adults thought were funny, but I would not have wanted to chance that. I was suprised at the stuff they got away with in that movie.
Today I was just incredibly lazy. Matt, his roomate Jeb, and I watched the santa clause on tv, I forgot how good that movie is. Then they made me watch part of rush hour until we all watched a charlie brown thanksgiving. Not my favorite charlie brown holiday special but still a holiday staple for me. That peppermint patty is a total bitch, and she needs to realize it is a sick twisted love chain between marci, her and charlie brown. Thought I'd mention that. I'm guessing that patty and marci had a lesbian bondage relationship for a while (hence marci calling her sir) and it soured, Patty went straight and marci couldn't deal with it, and has been trying to get her back ever since. That is my thou

n the patty marci thing.
Now I am back at my room at Curry all by my lonesome (aside from satan's spawn being on her side of the room). I am so looking forward to being home with kitties and my friends. I'll be home sometime tuesday night, my guess is it will be too late to go out that night, but I will keep you posted just in case I get back earlier than expected. Mike do you still use your cell phone?? Cause I'll call that if I get in early, let me know if you do. If I don't make it back in time tuesday then I will see you guys wednesday. When is everyone free?? Okay I should get back to lying around doing nothing. Tough job. Maybe I'll start packing who knows. Goodnight!
