New blogventure, naturally.

I don't know how many of my followers out there in Blogland are still interested in hearing what I have to say, but if you are, my bff and I have started a blog together, appropriately called ";)", if you're interested in following!

Ohh3ybigcity ;)

Basically:
Katie and I are making the transition from small town to big city. She's in a super intense semester working towards her bachelor's in nursing (her final degree), and I'm working towards a bachelor's in psychology (which is only the first of three degrees I need to achieve my goal). We go to neighboring colleges in Boston and are experiencing the big, bad city.

You should read!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

After a month+ of taking a break at Blogger, I've begun a new blog over at Livejournal. My heart has always been with LJ, if I'm being honest, so that's where my daily updates are at now.

I have decided, after thinking long and hard, that I would keep this blog open and post occaisonally. I originally began a blog to keep in touch with and follow Seashell and Kathy (Boyfriend's sister and mom) over at Two Hands Full of Daisies and I don't want to let that go!

So, a few updates from my month.

1. I've been picking up extra hours at work. This means two things: A barren checking account, since somehow I'm justifying spending so much on clothes, but a swollen savings account. I've only made withdrawals from it to help out my Mom when she needs a little extra $$ and she always pays me back within a week. I don't know what I'm going to use this money for, but who cares? Just having it makes me feel good.

2. I WAS ACCEPTED AT EMMANUEL.

3. I also got my financial aid award from them today (private schools are pricey, yaknow?) and it covers almost all of my tuition, but no room and board. Poo. But both parents have offered to help out in little ways, like my dad offered to buy my books (didn't specify for how long, but let's pretend he means indefinitely...) and I'm hoping he cosigns a loan for me, and my mom has repeatedly said "We'll make this work."

4. I've gotten back in touch with my exbff, Katie. Katie and I went our seperate ways when I began dating Boyfriend. She's at college now, right across the street from Emmanuel, so I got in touch with her just in case we were ever to meet up again like waiting for the T or something. When she comes home, possibly next weekend, we're going to meet and have lunch to talk things out. Seriously, we were the type of best friends that would have been best friends foreeeever, had we not had a stupid fight.

Okay I'm leaving now! I've been distracted!

Dear Blogospshere,

I am taking a hiatus.

I don't know for how long, and I'm barely even sure why.

I'll get back to you on that. :)

Spring?!

Flip flop weather has crept up on me, and my hair is long and fabulous.

I bought two dresses off of eBay, and they are amazing. They have succeeded in getting me more pumped for springtime. Now if only there were flowers blooming outside!

My hair has gotten longer than I've had it in... I don't know how long. Since middle school(I was able to braid it for the first time since then, too!) I'm really excited to figure out all sorts of new styles.

At the moment it's back, because I was at the gym, but I'm about to blow my entire Forever 21 gift card I have left over for Christmas on accessories. Here I go!

I have a plan.

I'm going to devote myself to my diet.

No, I kid. But I am going to go back on a diet and get back my rockin' bod that I had for prom last year. I went on a strict diet (for me, anyway) and it worked out quite nicely.

The premise of the diet was to basically stop eating when I'm bored. I also ate healthier, asking for healthy options at resturants (one particuarly memorable moment was when I was at Friendly's with Sam, and I asked for applesauce with my grilled cheese. The waitress was confused, but I got my applesauce!), and worked out the best I could.

So today is Day One. I've stated a food log using an app on my iTouch that let's me keep track of calorie intake. And measurements today are 29", 37", 20.5" (waist, hips, thighs).

Actually, I just reviewed my email I sent almost a year ago, stating my size, and the measurements I gave them (lied about) are only about one inch smaller than I am now. That makes me feel good about myself, since I basically lied and said I was, like, five inches smaller all around.

Wooohooo bikini body here I come!

PS: My car is in the shop until at least Monday. So, as much as I'd love to go out shopping for granola bars and the like, it's not going to happen for a little bit. Sugar honey iced tea.

Are we growing up, or just going down?

Prepare for a worried rant. I feel like I need to get all of this stuff out of me and onto something else. Internet works nicely.

I got a postcard from Emmanuel yesterday and it asked for my course descriptions from Cape Cod Community College. I want to take this as a good sign, but I don't know?! I'm really nervous about everything right now. I'm nervous about not getting in and I'm nervous about getting in. Hello?! Didn't this same exact panic keep me home last year? Isn't this why I basically put my life on pause to attend a college I didn't want to go to?

I can't ever let the fear of the unknown keep me back happen again.

I'm nervous about leaving Boyfriend and Best Friends behind. Lately we've been talking about this. Ethan is planning on joining the Marines in July. He wants to come visit me when he gets out of boot. Ben wants to come up at least once every other week. Sam hates city life. Hopefully my other friend also named Sam moves up to Boston, too. She wants to go to UMASS. She talked about possibly getting an apartment together, which would be sweet, but I want the dorm experience at least once.

And I know that I have Adam and Cooper and I've met some of their friends who all seem nice. It's just strange. I've grown up with the same people since kindergarten. A lot of them still go to CCCC. I literally ran into my old friend Sean the other day and he looked at me like I never existed. Although I don't remember him getting to be so tall.

I love my BFF, too, but I'm worried a lot about her. She has this boy in her life that I feel like is just stringing her along. They dated at the end of last year but broke up two weeks later cause he was grounded all the time and had to sneak out to see her. She would give anything to be with him again. And I'm afraid it's cutting into her life.

I want a Wii really badly right now. I like going to the gym and I've been eating better but I like to SEE my progress, which Wii Fit lets you do. My sister wants me to get one so we can box.

Feelings. :(

Summertime, and the living's easy.

I cannot wait for the summer.

Don't get me wrong; I'm excited about the snow piling up right now outside my window. But hello! It's March. The first day of spring is right around the corner, and I can't wait until spring turns to summer.

I pulled my favorite tank top out of my closet today to try on, and as I did, Stephanie's 2009 Summer Anthem came on. Starstukk by 3OH!3.



This song, though kind of raunchy and not exactly great, reminds me of cruising down North Street with Samantha towards the parking lot behind the cafe to stroll down Main Street until the sun sets, then going to get ice cream and later, heading to Tiki Port.

Ah summer. How I can't wait for your arrival.
