i can not wait

for orientation!
everyone's talking about theirs. and i'm jealous. i wanna be on campus and meet people and have a blast and do cheesy ice breakers and listen to boring lectures and get free t-shirts and watch cool shows and stay in a dorm and pick classes and be a college kid for three days. can nottt wait for sunday to come now.


oh yea. I GOT A JOB! at old navy at blackstone. i start late next week. i'm psyched about that too.
and i'm excited to go to newport on friday.

i guess i have a lot to be excited about, ey?

losing touch

already?
'09 is slackin'.
but weirdly, i'm letting it happen.










here's to a fresh and refreshing summer.

what day is it?

i've been out of school for over a week now.
the days are just mashing together. i don't even pay attention to what day it is. i just wake up to my leisure... one day at 11:45 which i never, ever do... drink coffee, go on the computer, text grace and melissa, and go out with them, basically. i saw the hangover, it was funny enough. went to the airport to just hang out. went to a party/slept over melissa's. i dont even know what else. and i went shopping for dorm stuff with my mom (maroon lacoste bath towels, yess.)
but i think i should start paying attention to the days now. i have applied for liek ten jobs, which i thought was a TON... but seeing no call backs, i guess its not enough at all. i need a job too. i just spent $150 of the money i was supposed to put away for college on Eagles Football season tickets. cuz you're not a BC kid if you don't have them. and i'm wicked excited but i feel guilty for indulgng when i shouldnt.
if you know anyone hiring, let me know. even though you're prob looking for a job too, right? aren't we all.

sports banquet this morning, which meant setting my alarm, actually getting dressed up a little, and being on time for something again. and it means going back to south. nostalgic already? weirdly i don't miss it yet. that crisis with graduation kinda ended it for me. i think i almost needed it to let me let go. not that i'll feel this way come fall when all these new things are approaching and i dont know how to handle them.

what else? oh, mr. levine bought the senior tennis girls animal print watches. i thought it was hilariously adorable. mine is cheetah with burgundy leather. meow.

graduation

yes, i got to go to graduation. here's my story:


after waking up, feeling good enough to run a mile or two, taking my temperature which was a perfecto 98.6, void of headaches, energetic as the energizer bunny, barely coughing, un-congested, and therefore ridiculously depressed about not being able to go to graduation... the Andrea kicked on in me. i wasnt gonna be content with missing my graduation!

after fighting with doctors that yes, statistically every test has false positives, im an ap stats students i would know better than you, i made them retest me. anddddd HI it was negative. so a few signatures and near-heart attacks later...

i went to graduation.

dont underestimate this though... i cried for hours and hours i dont even know how that many tears could be produced cuz every possible thing that could have gotten in my way.. well it managed to somehow. and my eyes were puffy and i look liek crap in pics butttttt i was there.

thats all that matters.

it also doesnt matter that the audio cut out for my speech so it wont be played on tv, haha. or that i didnt get to say bye to everyone. or my whole famnily didnt have time to be notified that yeaa andrea's actually walking the stage so they didnt all go.

really, its alllll good.


i am now a graduate of highschool.

'09, have i ever let you down?
