did i finally see what i was waiting for

3 days till breaking dawn.

5 days till i see my roommate again. and a week and a half till she moves here for good. :) :) :)

23 till my birthday. finally 21. :)

sadly only 27 more days till i start classes again. my senior year. final year. oh goodness.

lots of countdowns, with more farther out of the way, but are still exciting.

my massage today was wonderful. :) deep tissue massage even. helped with the really bad knots that have been in my back forever. they are completely gone, but it definitely helped a lot. :)

austyn is here for a couple days. yay! i am super excited. finally got to see her today, which was wonderful. chang's tomorrow. and i am super happy that she is paying for me too. i'm glad she owed me. hopefully we will be able to stop by the store i need so i can get the couple things i need for jillian's present. :) (you know i almost actually wrote out what i needed, then i realized that you my dear would be reading this... hehe i almost blew it. )

washing my car this weekend... always a good thing. my windows are covered in bugs... it's just gross.

leaving for lincoln city with donald and alex on sunday. off to see dani. :) yay. it will be a house adventure, minus iain.

off to sleep. :)
and according to sarah i'm gonna dream about edward. silly girl.

puts a smile on your face cause you know its ours

its friday tomorrow. thank goodness.

this week has been alright. not super busy at work, but for the last two days i have had enough spare time to read a 553 page book. i have two or more housing assignments to deal with tomorrow, i need to help denise organize the mac guest suite to move stuff. i need to check on the information from lois about keys and rooms. other than that i don't really have a lot to do tomorrow. with no book to read either... or at least one i haven't decided on yet.

speaking of books, i got my amazon order today. now i have my own twilight, new moon and eclipse, which makes me smile. not to mention a new children's book, when i'm big, by sam mcbratney. :)

i stilllll really need to do laundry, but by the time i get home from work i don't have the energy to do it. i think tomorrow after work i am going to come home, make a to-do list and actually quite possibly maybe do it. laundry, emails to a principal and teacher, clean room, clean bathroom, start organizing my life for the next year.

i'm not sure what book i want to start next. i have my sister's keeper, which i have heard is good, but is going to make me cry. or there is water for elephants, which dani said was good. or i could go through the bag of books my mom gave me and just pick one of those.

i hate money issues. i am hoping my momma will be able to help me out. or maybe if our stupid ridiculously lazy insurance company would ever process my reimbursement from freaking may i would have my $150 dollars back. stupid freaking idiots. until then its nothing for me. at least till the beginning of the month. for a bit.

meh. annoyed. off to find a book.

trying to stop your leaving

today has been awful... and its only 2.

i have a list of stuff to do that is a page long... and its never ending. i keep adding stuff to it because i keep getting things given to me. the housing email isn't working on one computer and you can't access it fully on any other computer. i am starting to get phone calls about rooms and students wanting more information, information that they should either know or they can just look it up online. i am the only one in the office for housing which means to everyone else that i am supposed to know everything.

i am going to start my period. sorry that might be too much information.

i just gave the business office $200 for something that my insurance is still figuring out. they were supposed to reimburse me a month ago, but still haven't.

i haven't paid my bills yet. haven't given any of my roommates the money they need, and they haven't given me what i need. really all i need is money from iain and then i am just going to cover the amount from dani, which i am not worried about, but for next month we will just split it 4 ways... actually 3 ways since alex isn't here.

i can't go with ginger this weekend because i have to be in vancouver on saturday. that made me sad and i know that ginger is bummed. i feel really bad.

i just want to run away and hide from everything.

your love keeps on reaching out to me

today was a good day. :)

sunday i drove to lincoln city and spent the night and monday with my roommate. :) very fun. had la roca, which always makes things wonderful. did some shopping and just got to hang with my roommate, which is always a good thing. driving back at night wasn't so much fun, especially after i hit the raccoon and then sat in construction for 20 minutes. but it was all worth it.

tried on a couple bridesmaids dresses on today. neither fit, since i grew up top... lame. but we aren't sure if these are the ones that we have really decided to get. they are still thinking about it. but i did figure out which ones out of the two styles that i liked. so if they do decide i know what i want.

since today was payday :) always a good thing, i decided to do one splurge for the summer, which was buying a new camera!!! yay! i bought the new sony cybershot 10.1 mega pixels. i love love love it. and to make it even better is that its red. :)

starting a new book. my sister's keeper. i have heard its really good. so we will see.

i am pretty tired of this heat, not gonna lie. its soooooooo hot during the day and there is no wind. night is gross too, hard to sleep with all the heat.

this weekend i am off to washington with ginger to go to her home. i'm actually rather excited. we are apparently camping on saturday as well. which should be fun.

learned tonight that my cousin chris is getting shipped to iraq on august 14th... so scary. he seems to be ready and wanting to go.

off to read and sleeeeeeep

so you go hide and i'll come seek

yesterday was a very very loooooong day. i am so glad that its sunday and i have tomorrow off.

yesterday afternoon was ridiculous. i have decided that i dislike one of the rd's very much. she is very rude, inconsiderate, belittling, and unprofessional in her actions around students. i almost lost it yesterday, but i was able to keep my cool and i just walked away. i'm not sure why what she did bothered me so much, but it really did upset me. i ended up talking to lisa about it and she said that because she has been an rd before, she probably felt that she knew what she was talking about, when in all reality she didn't at all. ugh... okay enough.

i have monday off, so i am off to lincoln city to see my roommate. it will be nice to get away from forest grove for a couple days. i need to pack, make sure to remember her retainer, and get directions.

i have finished yet another two books. now i am finally onto the bag of books that my mom brought me. not quite sure where to start since there are so many of them.

i need to clean up my room, put my clothes away, maybe vacuum, pack for lincoln city, and then get the heck out of here. not sure where i am going to go first, but i am just going to get out of here.

off to eat lunch.

an angel who never got wings

today has been the longest day ever.... and its only 8pm.

work today was non-stop. lisa and jean were sure to leave me with a lot to do, which was nice, but a little overwhelming. i finished the fact sheets for saturday. did some rental reference requests. dealt with a credit card from taiwan and some petty cash stuff. got the updated deposit and cancel list, which gave us 10 more apps to house on top of the 4 or 5 we already had. dealt with a few phone calls that no one knew the answer to, including having the same conversation with a guy about the same exact thing that we talked about last week. i attempted to do some stuff with filemaker, which took forever because the stupid database kept freezing on all the computers. i finally just called it quits after i couldn't figure out how to give people lottery numbers to people.

trying to figure out my financial aid, i think i have mostly everything figured out. i need to get rid of the perkins loan that is on my award cause i for sure don't want it.

i got my roommate to read twilight and she is already almost done with it. i gave her my sister's two other books as well. and then i believe that ginger is going to start reading them. i haven't really started reading another book yet because these one's have me captured. but i do have a huge bag of books waiting for me. i think i am going to first read the two sarah dessen books i got. then p.s. i love you. then probably one of the books from the big bag.

i am working on saturday for housing, which actually makes me really happy because i won't have to do ambassador stuff all day, including being at the university at 6:45am. i won't have to be there till 9am. on top of that i will actually be getting paid, which is so wonderful. then i think i am going to head up to vancouver either that night or on sunday morning since i haven't been up there in forever.

off to eat dinner and then finally read.

just like the waves against the sand, over and over and time and time again, your love keeps on reaching out to me

very long 4th of july weekend. meh.

house/dog sitting was good. made some extra money. that was nice. always good to have some extra money on hand. still haven't cashed the check, but i have it.

i got eclipse on thursday. i finally started it on saturday and managed to finish my sunday night. i love edward and bella. and i feel awful for jacob. he definitely grew on me in the third book. august 2nd i should have the 4th book. rather than trying to wait for my sister to read it first i am just going to get my own.

got the three books i ordered forever ago finally today. :] on top of all the books my mom gave me, i should be set for hopefully the rest of the summer. i think my next book will be p.s. i love you. since my roommate finally gave it back to me. then we are going to watch the movie. and cry. since everyone we have talked to has.

alone in the housing office for the next couple of days. i have made myself a to do list so i get everything done, plus i am hoping to find some other stuff to do so i don't get bored. austyn suggested cleaning... haha :]

took a random trip to philomath last night after ginger decided that she needed to drive and get away from forest grove. we were only in town for about an hour, but it was a long enough drive that she decided it would be worth it. and i am going to corvallis tonight with my roommate and sarah to pick up a kayak. good thing i am not driving.

sarah is back from california. makes me happy. :]

off to the business office. then home. then mcminnville. then corvallis.

simply wished one more day with you

weird. having time to blog at work. well i guess i am technically on my lunch break, but i am waiting for ginger to get back so i can actually go and get our food.

we finished stuffing all the housing packets today. well almost all of them. we have to look up all the international addresses in datatel to make sure we address them correctly. so we can avoid what happened last year, almost all of them getting sent back because the address were wrong.

i am excited for tomorrow. took the day off, which means i have a 4 day weekend. :] my mom and sister are coming up to see my house and drop off apparently a very big bag of books for me. including the book i have been waiting all week for. then i think we are going to lunch somewhere.

kelly is coming on friday for the weekend. its also 4th of july too. probably the first year that i am actually not going to be home for it either. weird. i am house/dog/bird sitting for lisa to make some extra money.

lunch time. :]

but i won't hesitate no more

so the new fiscal year at work has begun. and with it brought actual projects and things to do at work. :] finally. we have finally gotten all of the housing packets, all the meal plan brochures, all the fire and safety brochures, the letter i wrote about facebook and myspace, and all the room assignment sheets are printed and labels are printed. now i just have to put everything together and then we can ship them out on the 14th. then comes the worst part... the emails and phone calls... lovely.

thought i was going to get a fan from lisa today for our room... well i got it, but it doesn't actually work. so our room is still super hot all the time no matter how cool the rest of house is.

twilight and new moon by stephanie meyer are my two new favorite books of the summer. now i must wait for my sister to finish eclipse so i can steal it. hopefully i will get it thursday. :] then i am going to have to wait for august 8th for breaking dawn to come out on august 8th. yay. and apparently they are coming out with a twilight movie in december. :]

meh nothing else to say really.

update... breaking dawn is actually coming out on august 2nd, not the 8th. even better. :] and i will for sure get eclipse on thursday. :] :] :]
