So I kind of suck at this whole posting thing...oopsies haha!
Let's see...this week Heather came home Mon-Wed morning, so after work on Monday we went to San Vitos to see our favorite waiter :) then hung out with Bobby for a while. Tues was Bobby's corporate softball game so we went to cheer him on and ended up having a really good time. Wed I went into work an hr late so she and I could get coffee which was so much fun!! I really miss her when she goes back to Andrew. :-\ I'm going down next weekend to spend three days with her and Andrew which should be TONS of fun!!!!! Wed night I hung out w/ Matthew and then Thursday Sammy stopped by! :) I'm also supposed to hang out with Bobby and his friends tomorrow which should also be interesting... so we'll see how it all goes. I have 22 days left and then it's ELON TIME!!!!! Thank God! I am DESPERATE to get out of here. Ugh! I'm babysitting Sophie tonight which I'm actually not really looking forward too. All I do is spend time with kids younger than me, and yeah the money's nice but I'm kind of tired of constantly babysitting. :\ Well, I guess I'll end this not a whole lot to say...

In A Small Town
So I haven't had a whole lot of time to post lately, so I thought I'd take a second to catch up.
Let's see, this past week was hell. Lilly (the 6 month old I nanny for) screamed all day everyday until we gave her Tylenol on Friday morning. So I left with a horrible splitting migraine everyday...it was fabulous. I hung out with Jenn on Tuesday night and had an AMAZING time. I really miss her when we're home. It's not the same, and there's something about her that just picks my spirit up. We had coffee, went driving in her dads new BMW convertible and then hung out at my house for a bit. It was the perfect night. Thursday I saw Nav for the first time since last summer. It was good to catch up with her. Everytime we get together its just like it used to be in high school, and yet theres no pressure to keep in constant touch. It's really nice.
Friday was horrible. I got into this huge facebook war with a friend. I started physically shaking and feeling nauseous everytime I got near my computer. It was awful. After work I went to Jenn's to escape it and we sat outside and drank yummy Bahama-Mamma's (sp?) and talked and then went to Ledo's Pizza for dinner. SO yummy!!! Afterwards, I came home and packed my overnight bag and went to pick Sam up for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows midnight madness! We went to Barnes and Noble and met these guys and had fun talking to them before we were allowed to go in and buy our copies of the book. We got back to her house around 12:30 and she had all this food set up so that we could start reading right away. I read until 2:30 then went to bed, woke up at 9, and started reading again. We read all day and I ended up finishing at 11:00 that night. 785 pages in 23 hrs...not bad. The book was FANTASTIC! There were parts that I thought could've been better, but overall, I LOVED it!!!! JK Rowling is a genius.
Sunday I went to work at Ann Taylor Loft, which was awful. I hate working with Heather. She's such a waste of space. I'd rather NOT have a manager there, than have her there. She just irritates me. Ugh.
Heado's coming home this week!!!!!! I can not WAIT to see her. I miss her so much when I'm stuck here in NoVa w/o her. It sucks butt. Well, I guess I'm gonna end this. Not a whole lot to say...sorry!

Sweet Summertime
So since xanga went "uncool" a while back I thought I'd start something that not as many people knew about! Thanks Katie ;)! haha!
Let's see, I'm a Junior at Elon University and I love it there. It's exactly where I was supposed to be despite the outrageous tuition and the fact that my parents make me feel extremely guilty all the time. I have 39 days until I get to go back and I can not wait for the rest of this dreadful summer to fly.
Let's see...this summer I have a job as a nanny for my neighbor, which is nice cuz I make a TON of money every week but sucks because I work 9-5 everyday. I've been working since the 2nd to last week in May and it is extremely mundane. I do the same things everyday and I'm getting tired of it. If I'm not working there, I have a job at Ann Taylor every other Sunday which sucks because that means if I'm lucky I'll get Saturday without having to deal with kids or customers.
I spent a week in Cali with my extended fam and I've never wanted to stay with my grandparents more. Leaving was so hard and I can't decide if it was because I didn't want to come back to the mundane existence that is VA or because I simply felt like there was something in Cali that I needed to stick around for. For the first time since we were kids, my cousin, Jon, and I finally seemed to get along and enjoy being in each others presence. I don't kno why but something about that new-found friendship just made me feel so much better.
I turned 20 a little while ago and went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at midnight which was fantastic (despite a few...issues.) My boss also treated me to lunch, a pedicure, $ to Gap and a fabulous cookie/ice cream cake. I really lucked out...they were fantastic to me. I was able to enjoy my family dinner for the most part and even was able to do presents/cake without feeling rushed or responsible for getting some place, which was so nice. I was able to spend the day how I wanted to without needing to make others feel "ok" with what was going on and it was fantastic. If you can't do it on your birthday, when can you?
I'm having major friend issues right now and part of me just wants to say f*ck it and kick them all to the wind. I don't understand how at the age we're at we still play the same games we played when we were 5. Don't people ever grow up? And I know I'm guilty at it partially as well, but honestly, how can anything be solved or fixed if you spend the entire time giving the silent treatment? It's bullshit. Or honestly, how many people do you kno that constantly feel the need to discuss their significant other with you? Does the label I wear on my forehead say "PLEASE, I BEG YOU tell me ALL about YOUR love life?" I'm sick of it. Why am I constantly the one who has to hear about it? For once, I'd like to have someone else play that role and let me simply sit back and not hear about anybodys significant others...maybe then we wouldn't have such drama.
Well, I feel slightly better and I suppose that for the first time this was a ridiculously long post. But, hey we all have to start somewhere :)
I've also decided to link all my headings together...try to figure out how they're linked ;)
