Wednesday 2/24

The woman we met at karaoke who designated this area as the "pretty bitch corner." She was out of her fucking mind and I loved it. This was by far the best karaoke night I've ever had at Tin Alley...

Thursday 2/25

I read a lot Thursday night. I was bumming and tired and it was snowing and I don't know..

Friday 2/26

Snowed in - headphones and a book... this sums up my day.


Saturday 2/27

Went to visit John in the city - at 3:13 AM we decided to turn on Notorious. Worst.Movie.Ever. I think we watched 20 minutes before putting on Tropic Thunder. Good times and plenty of mashed potatoing..





Sunday 2/28

I didn't take this picture - I wasn't even there when this picture was taken - I just love it. If anything was right in this world I would have had a picture for today - or at least from last night or something - it would have been taken at a bar with my teammates and we would be celebrating the 24th birthday of Jess Gohring. Happy birthday, #8.

Yesterday:

Red Bull gets me through Mondays....... that's all I have to say about Monday.

Today:

Rugby practice in the downpour that was this evening SUCKED. that's all I have to say. This picture does not show how completely soaked my clothes were but I forgot running shoes so those vans were completely drenched - those sweatpants are supposed to be light grey. Ugh. No words. I hope that never happens again - not to mention we were in a parking lot because there is still inches of snow on the field... That's enough complaining - my week will be fabulous once tomorrow is over and I am at Tin Alley singing bad 90s songs at the top of my lungs at karaoke...

Thursday 2/18 - Sunday 2/21

Thursday - 2.18

Lunch with Brian... like every Tuesday Thursday. Here he is showing off his "Shakespeare pose." Hahaha - I love this guyyyy

Friday - 2.19

I had to babysit Friday morning and it was really nice out so I took a picture of Satchamo, their dog, getting some sun. I think this day was probs more exciting for him than it was for me.

Saturday - 2.20

Hanover trying to do a push up hahaha - this provided so much entertainment.

Sunday (today) - 2.21

Yesterday I got to go for a nice long run outside because it was fairly warm for February and today I did the same. This is a picture I took running past the golf course. It felt so good to be running outside in the sun. Tomorrow is back to another week of the same shit and the thought of it make me more miserable than I have words for hahah. Oh well, summer will be here eventually...

Today:

First cup of coffee at 6:58am - and it was all downhill from there... hah. Back to the grind today and it fucking sucked!

Today - 2/16

Thumbs up for a zebra print snuggie. I was supposed to do all of the work that I failed to do all week today and I didn't so I don't know why I'm smiling like an idiot. Probably because I'm simultaneously watching Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion and The Olympics. Anyway, a lame photo but it was a lame day...

Monday - February 15

I forgot to take my daily picture so as Dave was leaving I shoved my camera in his face. Sorry, Davey! We watched UP - best.movie.ever. And it's snowing again :)

Sunday 8/14

The corner galley - enough said?

dave is in all of these hahaa

Thursday - February 11

We didn't have a clue of what to do that night but we ended up drinking at Helvick's house at like 11:30 and then sleeping on Eileen's floor. We had weird conversations ranging from the classes we're taking, public education, what we're doing with our lives, and Native American rights, hahaha. In that order I think so at least it makes sense that shit got weirder as we drank more.


Friday - February 12

This should probably be at least a semi-embarrassing photo since we're being ridiculous. I just think it's hilarious - me and Dave kicked ass at pong last night, and it was a lot of fun. In fact, we had so much fun that even me and Dave are going to take it easy tonight... (maybe)

Saturday - February 13

Dave pretending to be a ghost? hahaha We were in such weird moods when we woke up at Helvick's today - at least this time we slept on couches and made it into pajamas. I'm glad I took a picture early like this because seriously... today was the biggest waste and the two hours that me and Dave watched weird shit on television and rolled around on Helvick's floor were easily the most active hours of my day. Pathetic, but it happens. I can't wait to not be up until after 4 tonight because I don't know if I could do a third night in a row.

LI = SNOW

"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
(this photo is crappy but I didn't want to put the flash on because then you couldn't really see the lights)
When I'm in my last class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the lights are off because of a slideshow - these lights shine through the windows that line two huge walls of my classroom - and the shadows of the trees and everything come through and you can see them on the desks and on the faces of the students - I swear it's beautiful. I'll take a picture of what I'm talking about exactly one day but the professor lingers in the class after it's over and I'm not on a level with him yet where I can start snapping pictures of an empty room without him thinking I'm a creep.

Kind of a cop-out but all I really had time for yesterday:

Thinking about it - this was the highlight of my day. I laughed more in the 30 minutes that I skyped with Alicia than I have in the past week... I miss everyone who is abroad too muchhh

Monday 2.1

Tough times recovering from my adventure in Albany. I skyped with Dave - apparently his face blew up after me and Johnny left. I think he's all better now though!

2.2

I was having a tough day, haha. I didn't feel like taking a picture of anything because I didn't feel like anything so I took a picture of the ceiling while I was laying down listening to music.

2.3

Loved waking up to this - hated that it was all gone by the time I got out of work. In creative writing we had to "write about a time you broke the rules." I love that class.

2.4

I decided that, since I have such a massive workload this semester, I should organize. This will be the first time in my college career that I have more than 1 legal pad for all of my classes. I have yet to lug this thing to the hof and I'm not sure that I ever will... organization sounds nice but I don't think it's for me.

2.5

Friday night I went to the girls' house for Mag's 20th Birthday. This is Hanover carrying her bag of wine. A classy night I'm sure but I stayed sober and left early - I couldn't believe it either. Everyone was checking my head for a temperature but I really just didn't feel like another late night and then waking up exhausted and feeling like shit. Is this growing up? Probably not. I plan to return to my old ways by Thursday.

2.6

Woke up with snow on the ground but again... it was nothing. I went to my godson's house and played with him for a while. I love this kid more than anything on this planet. I bought him every episode of Popeye from 1933-38 because he's learning to go on the potty hahaha. I left his house and picked up Chris, my neighbor who I babysat for a long long time - since he was born and he's 9 now. I took him to the Hofstra basketball game and he had a lot of fun even though we lost =( - then I came home and watched Whatever Works with Shirl - Woody Allen... so good. Watch it.

2.7

I LOVE SUNDAYS. I actually hate them but I love my mom for her Sunday dinners. Shirl, this meal was so delicious. A perfect way to ruin all the work I did on the treadmill just hours before this took place. Then I watched the game, obviously. I was really happy New Orleans won! Brees is one of the too few people who still care about rebuilding that city and I hope this gives him more motivation to keep at it.
