well thanks for the abundant amount of comments on my last post haha....it's all good tho...just DON'T let it happen again!

so the last few days...hmm...i got sick! Wait that shouldn't have an exclaimation. It sucks. I guess it has to do w/ the change of weather or w/e. Monday and Tuesday were the worst cuz it seemed to be the peak of it all. But today i bought more medicine and juice and campbells chx noodle soup (w/ veggies and stuff yummm) and i got a lot of sleep last night...soo i am feeling somewhat better. I'm actually quite tired now so i'm thinking of goin to bed soon

I worked the mason jar yesterday and today. Made about 50 bucks for each shift which is pretty awesome. I spent like 25 today tho at CVS cuz i think everything i waned was on sale there so i couldn't stop myself lol.

Oh yeah i started goin to the gym. Our new gym kicks so much ass. It's got like a million treadmills, bikes and those running things that looks like a norditrack i guess only w/o all those wires and stuff. I dunno but i like em. anyways, the coolest part about all that cardio stuff is that there are TV's attatched to each one so you can watch it while ur working out. It makes it so much easier cuz you're concentration on something else rather than how tired or hot you are. it's awesome. Then there are all these great weight machines. My fave is the glut thing haha. i dunno u put ur foot on this pedal while standing up and then push it backwards. Kinda hard to explain but it's pretty cool. There is also rock climbing there! i haven't done it yet but i am gonna try to sometime this semester. We also saw there is a spinning class but i dunno if u have to sign up or just go....it seems kinda secretive. It'd be cool if there was an aerobics class there too but who knows. There probably is one but i have no idea.

So yea, i've gone twice this week, once w/ meredith, and tonight w/ greg and bix. All day today was pretty relaxed and uneventful. I did get to chill w/ greggy over in the overlook for a while which was fun cuz we both are usually too lazy to go to one anothers buildings but i decided to go anyway.

Tomorrow is gonna be hectic cuz i got class, the club fair for ALD, i gotta go the police dept and get my accident report, i gotta do laundry soooo sooo bad, and then i have class at night as well. Where i think there is a quiz but i don't know what it's on so that could be a problem....

Well my tiredness is catching up w/ me real bad. Time for bed i think....goodnight!

mood: relaxed/sick
music: something corporate - i won't make you

ps. i rule at litarti!!! I had a score to 268 tonight!!!!

hi hi everybody!

well i'm updating cuz i'm bored and ignoring any homework i might have and i figure i should update before it gets too late and i have to unload a monster long update...

Friday was my sisters wedding. Went slightly better than i thought it would. The day sucked but at the reception i finally got to talk to her and we kinda decided that i'd try to visit her in the winter and i guess learn how to snowboard and ski and whatnot. Hopefully it will happen, but we'll see. I also met more of ryans family, his brother and sister are really nice, he has another sister but i dunno if she was there or what cuz i didn't formally meet her. Anyways the next day sucked cuz i had to get up at like 5 in the morn so we could leave by 6 and get me back to ramapo for my 9:30 class

the class was the same as usual, but i guess greg and i were talking a lil too much cuz at the end of class i told the prof that i wasn't gonna be in the next class and he's like "weellll ur gonna have to get the notes" and im like ok, thats not hard, and he's like 'well i'm a little concerned w/ whats going on back there, it's very distracting..." i dunno what that was all about...i listen to what he says, i take all the notes, and the only participation he asks for is like if we liked the song or not. what else is there to listen to? and i do pay attention grr. i dunno it's so dumb i think. It doesn't matter tho cuz i'll be there next week for the class anyway....ok neeext

that night i had work. It wasn't too hard, i had a table of 13 ppl tho, and like 8 of them were kids so it kinda sucked. they were all yelling and screaming for more drinks, and since it's so many it does take a little longer...so they were being annoying and i wanted to strangle them, but what r u gonna do. Actually what was nice was that i got a visit!!! It was matt, greg and two of matt's friends from NJIT. They were my relief from the crazy table haha. Also what was good was that matty even stayed over so i double win :)

sunday i slept reeeeally late, like till a half hour before i had work at 3. It sucked just cuz the boss was pissed at me cuz i was late and i screwed up this one order....which happens to other ppl all the time, ppl who have been there longer than me too. Whatever. I still made a hella good amount of money tho :)

Today.......is..... ALYSSA'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!

so i went to class. haha. last night me, allison and franco gave her cards. Today i gave her her gift, which is a carebear play tent thing, cuz she used to have this "fort" under her bed but then she switched beds so no more fort....until today!!! It's so awesome. And it's a place for ppl to sleep haha :)

ok well thats about it...im sooo tired and i don't know why. I think i'm gonna call my grandma now tho. i'm sure you wanted to know that too right....lol

ok mood: tired, hyper, AWESOME?
music: yellowcared cuz i heart ryan key!!!! lol jk

hey my friends. Sorry for the total update lackage. I actually updated a few days ago but then the page didn't save of course, so i got pissed and didn't want to do it again. so sorry. but besides that now i have the daunting task of updating my life to you. You as in, the people that read this thing. The people as in 3.

weelll. I dunno. i can't go day by day so this is just an overview of some things that stick out in my mind.

The mason jar. I am a full out waitress now, cuz i passed my test and i'm off on my own. It's so sweet. I've only done three shifts so far and i've made 130 bucks. and thats just the tips, i also make like 5.50 or somethin an hour too so thats like an added bonus haha. It rocks so much besides the fact that i overslept today and was 45 min late.

Ok hi. little did you know but i wrote that all yesterday. i had to leave cuz i then realized i had to go to class and i didn't do the hmwk. soooo now it's.....2:47 am and i'm finishing this

so mason jar again...umm yeah money good. breaking plates bad. Being 45 minutes late/forgetting your shirt...really bad. I'm a mess but i really like the money aspect haha. And i'm a good waitress really...i just suck at the side work and getting there and leaving on time. Well i'll get the hang of it soon hopefully.

hmm what else. drinking....yeah i haven't really done much of that....i haven't been really feeling that, plus i'm so busy w/ other stuff i'm not even concerned about drinking. We went out on tues and alyssa got quite trashed....i drank a lil but nothing serious, i was still a mom all night...aka the designated driver and then bring dana and alyssa home, and then make sure jill was ok....oh it was a crazy time. Props to greg for going around w/ me and being a parent w/ me haha.

Next topic, matty. well i finally made my way down to newark to see him, although he has come to see me a few times too. Newark is yes, scary. I dunno...i like the diner there and his room is nice and cozy i spose. At least i can get there so thats good. :) :)



another day has gone by cuz i got tired and went to bed last night.

so what else. I remember when i started this entry days ago i had a lot of stuff to write. Hm Write. I have a scriptwriting class which is so fun. The prof is so awesome, he's also canadian so he says aboot allll the time haha. My other classes aren't too bad either i guess but i like that one the best. I have a saturday class which, ok, yeah sucks, but the material isn't hard at all and plus i have allison, alyssa and now greg k in the class w/ me so thats fun :) This saturday i think we're gonna go to IHOP afterwards

oh other big news is yesterday i got in a car accident. I was driving w/ allison to go get a vase cuz matt got me flowers for our 3 month anniversary....i was trying to merge onto 17 when all of a sudden this lady slammed into me while i was waiting for a car to pass so i could go behind it. soooo then we had to get out and all and call the cops and she was all crazy apologizing and stuff...i mean ok i was mad i guess cuz it was my new car, and she dented it pretty good, but at the same time i was happy cuz no one was really hurt and the damage wasn't worse. So the cop filed a report and all and we have to call the insurance companies and blah blah. Whatever. Allison and I thought it would have been funny if we pretended we were pirates and started just saying like "ARRRRR!!! YOU DENTED ME SHIP....NOW YA MUST WALK THE PLANK DARLIIIIN...ARRRR!!!" i dunno i think it woulda set her in her place a little more than i actully did...cuz i set her in no place really haha. pirates. funny.

What else. hmm if you're bored and want to view something that i think is pretty funny go here: http://http://www.photojournal.hellogoodbye.net/index.php?go=news

It's forrest from HelloGoodbye's picture journal. Make sure you read the captions, he's such and odd kid but i love it.

I can print real pics on my comp now so i have a picture of me and matt and a pic of me and greg k on my bulliten board. it's so awesome. I also have some truly real pics of the rest of the crew so don't worry.

oh ps. we're probably gonna get kicked out of our room cuz for some reason the RA and the GRD and like all of ramapo college is conspiring against us. First they try to bust us and give us a strike for being too loud....then they tell us that our room is one of the rooms thats too noisy at night and we shoulda had a warning for it but our RA doesn't care so he didn't give us one (and btw, we live right next door to two bands that practice alllll the time- it couldn't be them of course right??) and then yesterday we had a fire drill, and when we come back there is a security guys saying it was our room that set it off----which was such bs. Me and al had just come back from shopping, the hottest thing we had was the burger king i just got, so they were trying to blame it on that or something. omg the stupid security guy just wouldn't give up on the fact that it was us....even tho later on a guy came up and fixed our smoke alarm and said that the things go off all the time for no reason....so what now. It's such a conspiracy. and it's only been 2 weeks...who knows what the rest of the year will bring

ok i really need to get in the shower cuz my parents are gonna be up here in like 50 min....so peace out cub scouts....and leave me text messages today cuz i'm gonna be at my sis's wedding doing nothing all day. thhhhanks :)

mood: sleepy

helllllooooo bayyyy beee!

ok well i have a half hour till i go to work and i can't relax. It's really messed up. I get so nervous before i go there....like actually right now i should study the menu a bit more but i just get more nervous when i do it. Last night i worked for my second day of training and i actually did surprisingly well. It was really busy there since everyone was coming over there from the move in day at ramapo so it was just craziness. My trainer, Tom, kept telling me that i was being a really big help tho cuz he could trust me to go over to new tables and take drink orders and a lotta other lil things like (trying to) take the food orders (i did sometimes, when it was like two ppl or w/e) and then giving them their checks and ringing them up. I was surprised at how much i was picking up as well. And the good news is i didn't drop anything! Actually the only thing that sucked was that i forgot to bring a lady her soup cuz i never made it, even tho i knew i had to, it just slipped my mind. We were attending so many tables tho!! When i start i only get like 2 tables i think anyway so that shouldn't be hard.

Aghhh but i can't help the nervous thing tho. I mean there isn't really much to be worried about since it's not like i've been screwing up...i guess it's just the pressure of knowing i'm gonna eventually have to take this test, and even tho ur allowed to fail it, I really don't want to....it would be nice to have no faults on my record i guess. besides that damn soup. curse you, french onion soup!!! hahha

so anyways, in other news, the ramapo school year has officially begun. It's kinda weird adjusting back to it but i'll be back into the swing of things in no time. Tonight I have scriptwriting class at 6. Hopefully it'll be a fun class. tomorrow is psych, and groog is in that class w/ me. then thursday i have spanish in the morn (w/ my joshua tree!!!!) and at night is west. studies which i'm kinda not looking fwd to cuz i only wanted the class cuz my old english prof was gonna teach it but then he got switched out and we have this guy donnangelo, who i guess is new, i dunno. anyways, between classes, work, and finding time to hang out w/ everyone, this is gonna be one crazy semester i can tell.

ps. our room is so sweet. it's so much bigger than last year and we decorated it so pretty....like we all can't get over how cool it is haha. And yes, the new overlook building is very nice too, only it's one heelluva walk over there. It's actually not even the walk there, but like the thousand flights of steps i gotta climb to get to their room lol. ohwell. the building kinda reminds me of a hotel inside i guess. i dunno, it's weird. but they def. have a lotta room, whichi think we all got upgrades anyway cuz pine was so tiny last year. Oh well enuff of that!

Ok well time for me to finish getting ready for work. Hopefully my nervousness will melt away when i get there, it usually does. Leave love!

mood: Neeeeeeeeeervous
music:really nothing right now. alyssa is sleeping....and i can't even say that her snoring is what i'm listening to, cuz she isn't snoring. So...um the sound of my comp. humming? good deal

pps. i miss my matty!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, September 02, 2004

Bah. once again i got screwed by writing this blog on the website and not in word. so here i am...i just wrote soooo much too this sucks so bad. >:-0

ok so quick recap cuz i can't do all that writing again.

sunday = work and im sick of it. thank goodness it's only for 3 more days now.

monday = work again but afterwards tyke and james came over. I haven't seen james in so long and it was nice to hang out w/ him even tho we watched road rules and 6 feet under (two shows he's never seen) and then we watched law and order and ate pb toast and ice pops which were Mmm Mmm good. It was a fun nite. :)

tuesday= Major shoppin w/ momma. We went to old navy and i got 3 shirts there, then bed, bath and beyond where i got an over the door towel rack for our bathroom. Hopefully it fits cuz it's got three racks which is perfect! We also went to Petco and i got a fishnet for martha....she freaked today when i changed her water, i mean i know it's odd for a fish to be out of water, but i think it's just been so long since she's experienced it that it just totally scared her. Oh well, she'll have to get used to it i spose hehe.

We then went to the mall and i got two pairs of jeans and a pair of khakis at macy*s, then a shirt and two tank tops from american eagle. (props to those of you that are still reading this, i don't see anyone really caring about this besideds myself and possibly matty and lucky....haha) Then we left and got some subway, then to wal mart and i got soooo much crap there for so cheap...i loved it haha. Just stuff like school supplies, an alarm clock, random stuff like that that i needed. We then came home to flemington and we picked up some last minute stuff at shoprite and then went home. It was a crazy day, 12-9 of pure shopping power. Craziness i tell ya.

Now today, wednesday, i went up to ramapo where i met up w/ alyssa and we bought our books. I got like 5 books for 300 bucks...insane! i am gonna go look online again and possibly try to find these books for less cuz it's ridiculous. Oh well. Then at 4 i had my training shift at the mason jar. It actually wasn't too bad. i was scared a lil at first cuz i've never really done waitressing, but my trainer (Craig) was really cool and nice. Actully he graduated from Rowan in May so we talked about that a little bit. Anyways, he was very friendly and taught me a good deal of things and i got to do a few things on my own, like make a salad, bring out bread, punch in some orders, get drinks, get the checks....i dunno lil stuff like that i guess, which was cool and i didn't mess it up so i was happy about that haha. I am only worried cuz i have to memorize sooo much stuff so hopefully i can study it a good amount before my next shift on monday. All in all tho the place is pretty cool. I can't believe how friendly everyone is, esp the girls. I am so happy none of them are catty or think they are better than me or w/e. This one girl Alyssa, in our section would talk to me sometimes and it was cute cuz at one point she was like, "i swear, if i had me as a waitress i would not give myself a tip!!" It was funny and just made me think that ppl still do make mistakes and mess stuff up and it's ok (not all the time tho i'm sure hehe) Like this one guy jason who has been around for a month or two was asking me how i liked it there and he was like, "yeah don't worry, i've been here for a while and i still fuck things up all the time." That sounds sorta like a backhanded compliment, but it wasn't i swear. lol anyways tho, i think i'm really gonna like it there, if not the work but def. the ppl there....so yay for being content hehe. :)

Ok last bit of news is that now i'm moving into the po on friday nite. I got into this saturday class w/ allison and alyssa so we get to move in friday. It's good cuz now i get more time to settle in, even tho i'm gonna go home saturday nite cuz i got my last day of work at the bok on sunday. But then i'm coming back up on either sunday nite or monday morn and i get to bring the rest of my crap so that's really good. Also i might keep this sat. class if the attendance policy isn't bad cuz i know i'm gonna need some weekends off for family stuff...so if it's not a big deal to skip then i'll keep the class.

ok i'm majorly tired now that i've written this twice and i wanted to go to bed like an hour ago. so g'nite ppl....i probably won't post again till i'm at school so leave good comments for me for when i return to the blogging scene hehe....later~
