| i have four and a half days on this continent. i keep a blogger, that i really don't update any more often than this. i guess there comes a time when you don't need to do this anymore, either that or you don't know HOW to do it anymore. i went on a little bit of a xanga-reminiscent spree a couple of days ago, and read tons of old entries. i don't know if i can ever bring myself to delete it-- this thing has so many memories recorded in it, both fantastic and horrible. i don't know if i can bear to leave australia, but at the same time, i can't wait to get back to poplar street. theme of my life. what's next? | | |
| I never update this and I don't really know if people read it, or even use xanga anymore. I have been living in Australia for three weeks now, and will be continuing to do so for the next four months.
Fairy Meadow, NSW, to be exact.
I'm having an intense love affair with the beach. We hang out every day. It's interfering with my relationship with academics.
Things could really be worse Xanga's entry form has changed!. | | |
| i'm back at arcadia.
this year i live in an apartment, it makes me feel old. there are four of us here, but Michele and I share the master bedroom, which is a big improvement from a tiny dormroom. I especially love having my own shower, and not having to lug stuff back and forth from communal bathrooms. Also: showering barefoot. It's glorious. I've don't think about shopping the way I used to. I'd still kill for new clothes and shoes, but now I get especially excited about good smelling dryer sheets, shelving units, and pillows for the couch.
our apartment caught fire as we were moving in. it was an electrical fire after we turned the circuits on, no fault of ours. try stopping a fire in a place you are in the midst of moving into, or explaining to 911 where you live when you, yourself, are not sure. me and michele have been through so many big moves/travels/disasters/chaotic events together that this was almost routine. funny part was it was a year to the day, since michele shipped me off in an ambulance when i got food poisoning. i can't wait for next august 28th.
i found work as a nanny for two little boys about 15 minutes from campus. it will be nice to make money, after spending my freshman year not working. i have to balance this, though, with two biology courses, a music course, a stupid, time-consuming gen ed requirement, and an independent honors research project course. yayy. also, if i don't go abroad next semester (which is still 50/50, based on money issues), michele and i are gonna run for president and vice president of our SGO. i hope i learn how to balance things well this year.
the end. | | |

LEAVE ME COMMENTS, XANGA IS BEAT.
my mono went alright, I guess, as far as mono goes. I felt truely shitty for about a week and then bounced back. I gave up on the dranking for three weeks, and then bounced back. all is well.
in lansdale at the moment, for summer vacation, which is not so well. taking some summer courses at the community college, which is long and tedious but will be worth it when I finish out this summer with 8 more credits.
i miss arcadia a lot, or at least my friends. who knew i'd get so comfortable there? it turns out i really don't know how to live without michele. i cannot believe that, last year at this time, i didn't even know she existed. she's my other half times a million, and i think i can safely say that she is my favorite person ever. words cannot describe how much i miss her right now.
me and patrick are an official couple, which is sweet, beings as we were 'together' for most of the semester anyway. he is cool and i am cool and so together we are just really, really cool. i like us lots.
they both got one silly picture and one normal(ish) picture for good measure.
i have just returned from a couple of days in ocean city with patrick, dave, and a special guest appearance by miss michele. it was glorious, quality time. that is all.
more random arcadia pictures, because you care:
actually at temple. yayy for christen.
the mono days.
the bayou!
being cool in louisiana, with stefanie, who i miss dearly too.
future roomies, minus one!
the boy and the girl.
the end. | | |
| - Adeline, Out of Tune So I've got mono,
first sentence about it on the FDA's website being: "Missed parties. Postponed exams. Sitting out a season of team sports. And loneliness. These are a few of the ways that scourge of high school and college students known as "mono" can affect your life"
yayy!
but i've been promised lonliness will not be an issue, and besides, it's kinda nice to sleep without guilt.
