"and i said "i've gotta be honest
i've been waiting for you all my life."
for so long i thought i was a silent bound,
but just seeing you makes me think twice.
and being with you here makes me sane,
i fear i'll go crazy if you leave my side."
- Dashboard Confessional

My internet connection has been so slow for the last 24 hours... and I have DSL, so I'm just a tad annoyed.

My agenda for this week:

• Tuesday
• Pool with the nephew and niece
• Rehearsal at 7:30
• Wednesday
• Clean/Laundry
• Rehearsal at 7:30
• Thursday
• Clean/Laundry
• Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert at PNC Bank Arts Center
• Friday
• Clean/Laundry
• I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something, but I can't remember what?
• Saturday
• Pack for the week, drop off stuff at my sister's
  
• Mets Game
• Sleeping by my sister to watch/walk/feed her dogs while they're away
• Sunday-Sunday
• Staying by my sister's place and totally enjoying her pool and jacuzzi. Perhaps a bbq?

Hm well it's time that I start getting ready for the pool cause I'm getting picked up in an hour...

Well... I ended up passing the K-5 Praxis with flying colors.. they actually sent me a certificate saying I had one of the top scores - which I find surprising...

I actually took the Theatre Praxis since then, also. Hopefully I'll get those scores soon, too.

I also did end up getting highlights and a trim... and it's about time I get both of those again. She only did highlights on top the last time - so I'm hoping to get them all over this time.

My sister in law invited me to go to the pool today with her and my nephew but now I'm not very sure I want to go, but I probably will. Considering I went to the beach a couple of days ago and worked on my tan, it doesn't hurt to continue the work. Meh but now she's not picking up their house phone.

I am in such a lazy mood and I have a lot of cleaning to do... and laundry...

So I'm supposed to get my hair done tonight.. I'm thinking highlights and trim?

Also, I'm taking the K-5 Praxis on Saturday... unfortunately I haven't looked at anything yet in regards to reviews. I'm a little worried about the social studies section because there's supposedly tons of random events that K-5 students wouldn't even be learning. Ugh a little ridiculous in my opinion. 

Well we're currently having a break in my vocal techniques class. It's actually really funny watching all of the basketball players submit themselves to doing crazy things in the classroom. I'm taking the K-5 Praxis test on Saturday in Jersey City... I should probably get to studying the e-book that I downloaded from the test website. I'm just a little too lazy or sidetracked to do that. After class I have to head back to my beloved office, and work on a take home test before I have to hand it in at 4pm in my audiology class. Then after class, I need to head back up north to my old job (PF Changs) for Ryan's brother's birthday dinner. Then it's back home to relax and study for the Praxis until I have class again on Thursday. I really need to get back to the gym, also. I've been slacking quite a bit which is most likely due to the fact that it's hot as balls outside and that I'm sweating more outside than in the actual gym. Woop time to head back to class!!

So, I'm finding it astonishing that I haven't posted anything on here in over a year. I remember being addicted to LJ. Probably because I was part of the first group of people to sign up for it... hence the username not being something cRaZy. I'm going to try and keep somewhat of a blog on here, but who knows how long that will last...

Sooo yesterday I started contemplating my schedule for next semester.  I'm going to be graduating a year late, but I kind of don't care.  I'm going on to grad school at SHU anyway, so i'll be there for another 4 years from now.  I AM excited that I'll still be able to do theatre!

Anyways, my school decided that next semester they're switching to a flat rate.  Meaning that we're paying the same price whether we take 12-18 credits.  So of course, I would like to get the most for my money.  So I'll be taking 18.  Unfortunately there's nothing really for my major that fits in my schedule other than what I'm taking already... so I found things to take up the space lol Oh AND since i'm not really taking any ed classes since i have an extra semester for that, I don't have to intern this semester - which is lovely.  Also, all of these classes are on Tues and Thurs, so I'm totally going to substitute on the other days.

My classes for next semester:

Shakespeare (3 credits, For my theatre major)
Modern American Drama (3 credits, Theatre major as well)
Intro to Comm Disorders (3 credits, My grad school requirement)
Anatomy of Speech (3 credits, grad school requirement)
Performance lab (1 credit, theatre requirement)
Private voice lessons (2 credits, filler class!)
Sign Language I (3 credits, filler class!)

I can't believe that I haven't actually posted on this since August. I probably check my friends' page everyday, to check up on communities. I am AS USUAL starting WW again. I am going to be creating a weight loss journal. I don't know if it's going to be on LJ, we'll see.

Last night Ryan and I had a date night..

He brought me a bouquet of orchids. I went to put them in a vase, but one of them fell off, so of course I put it in my hair. Then we went out to Baumgart's and had a mixed dinner. I got to have my sushi and Ry got to have his chinese. It was fun times. Then we went to visit my grandfather. At the end we rented "Crash", cause we always wanted to see it and never did. It was good. And then well we.. ya know. It was a sweet date night and it's times like that that I know he loves me. The fact that he knew to get me orchids and not roses. Anyways...

I'm gonna be going into work tonight from 4-10. Hopefully it's not a bad night. I've gotta go with my mom to run some errands tomorrow. They include:
1. Going to Motor Vehicles and her getting a new license and me getting an address change sticker with the address spelled CORRECTLY.
2. Taking a tour of Curves - I hear they have a student discounted price.
3. Getting a new pair of Merrels?
4. Bringing sushi to my grandfather.

From this moment forward I am starting a new diet! I don't know which - but I need to start one.  I am getting married in 2 years, and I am NOT walking down the aisle as a heffer.  Not to mention, I'm sick of seeing pictures of myself looking like shit.  I need to get things in order.  Like a specific plan for myself.  Specific days for exercise and such. 

I'll probably start a new journal on here for posting what I eat and weight loss blah blah blah... who knows.

I have work tonight.  I'm already planning that for dinner I'm gonna get something healthy from Chinese.

I'm really happy we finally cleaned our bedroom.. we just need to bring out a bunch of the cardboard boxes we have piled in the corner.  Then I gotta get Ryan and his dad to work on the rest of the house... Oh well

By the way - I had the most INSANE "compound" dream last night... it was really funny.  Ok time to get ready for work, I'll probably post my dream later - it's so funny.

Inventing the Abbotts has been on TV way too much lately.  It's kind of annoying.  I actually really want to watch Now and Then - but I can't find my copy of it :(

On a good note - Laguna Beach Season 3 starts tonight!!  Summer is almost coming to an end - it's really depressing.  I feel like other than London I haven't really done ANYTHING that would qualify as summer activity.  No beach... just one day of it.  And we didn't even actually go onto the beach - just the boardwalk.  It sucks!

I really REALLY want to go to Wildwood - I miss it :(

I'm starting to finally feel better.  And I NEED to have real food!! I am so sick of chicken soup and toast! I miss sushi and mexican food :( And all other things that my sick belly couldn't have. Hopefully I at least lost some weight during this "fast".  I have so many things I need to do and get on track.  Ryan and I gotta get the ball rolling before I start school. 

1. FINALLY get in touch with the school I have my placement in.  It's like I'm playing phone tag and I'm the only one in on it!
2. Order my books for this semester.
3. Figure out what the hell my work schedule is going to be in the fall so that I could actually do a play at school.
4. Write the play that I had a dream about.. I'm a genius! And I LOVE playwriting <3
5. Clean our bathroom.
6. Get that cleaning stuff I saw in a commercial and finally get that soap scum I've been scrubbing at off our shower door!
7. Clean and organize our bedroom.
8. Do major laundry.
9. Start up a new diet.
10. Exercise
11. Book our Disney cruise - who's going?
12. Start planning our wedding!!

Okay there's a lot to get done.  I have work tonight, unfortunately from 4-10, then tomorrow from 10-4 then Saturday I'm covering from 4-7... then Ryan has a playoff game and another on Sunday.  I need to stop being so damn supportive, thank goodness the season is over!  Baseball overload! I need to find some kind of hobby to keep me busy cause I can't handle all the sports!!

Okay the end of Antitrust is on... I gotta watch it.

Well... I'm sick. Or atleast starting to get over being sick. Up until an hour ago I've lived on chicken soup and toast.. and let's just say I'm sick of that ALSO. Ryan's been really good, taking care of me and all. I've been watching way too much tv though. Ryan also rented me four movies for the last two days: Cheaper By the Dozen 2, Bring It On (the new one?), She's the Man, and Grandma's Boy. All good - he knows how much I love gay movies!

ANYWAY

My new obsession? Paris Hilton. I don't know why. Something intrigues me about her. Either that or I've been watching way too much TV including episodes of The Simple Life.

Also, things I want:
1. Dooney and Bourke watch.
2. Coach bag that we saw at the outlet.
3. Way too much than I can afford.

On a side note, I made my hair even lighter. I would take a picture and post it - however seeing me sick is not something I'm about to put upon you.

One of my honor societies is having a convention in January at Disney World. To go or not to go? We're planning a Disney trip AFTER I turn 21 to Disney (May). BUT this seems like it might be cheaper because there's a group rate that includes the 3 days before and after the convention. Maybe we could go to that... and then do Vegas in the summer? I don't know what to do. OR I could go just for the convention and not stay longer... and go by myself (like get a roommate through the society)... but it would be such a tease not to go to the park.

!~@!~#!!~

I don't know what Parisi's problem is.  I am supposed to be charged $64 a month.  I get my statement from my bank for last month and I was charged $79.  So I look online to see if I've been charged for this month yet - I get charged $81! What the hell is this shit? This is the second and third time that they've done this to me and I'm getting really pissed off.  There's $32 bucks that I should have in my account and I don't.  I am going there tomorrow and giving them a piece of my mind - or letting Ryan give them a piece! Cause this is completely messed up.

Last night, Ryan and I went to Eric and Natalie's.  Little baby Nick was sleeping though.  I really loved their apartment.  They seem so together. I hope we can be like that eventually.  They've both got their full time jobs, their baby, a cute apartment.  I know that we're gonna be living at our house for awhile.. which is a good thing.  It'll help us save money for our future/wedding/vacations.  I mean we could live here and have our first child here and stuff.

I wish I could tear everything out of the bathroom in our bedroom.  I really hate the sink area.  I also hate how all the fixtures are brass... and I really hate the shower door.  Oh well.  One day!! I do love Ikea though lol... we need to go there and get a new wall cabinet for the bathroom.  I also have to clean the bathroom before I go to work today - but it's Ry's job to clean the shower! We also have to order new blinds for the bathroom and bedroom.

I gotta find a copy of that Billy's Bootcamp DVD box set.  I know we used to have it at CVS.  I gotta find a CVS that has it cause then I can use my discount on it.  But then again, I think it was the same price at Bed Bath and Beyond... which means that I can use one of those million 20% coupons that we get in the mail.  It sucks cause I pay for this gym membership but I never want to go.  I don't know why.  I'd rather work out at home.  We gotta start going this summer.  Bleh.

My mom gave us a gift card for BB&B as part of our engagement present.  We got: a George Foreman, a Citrus Juicer (I've been on a lemonade kick lately...), an Ice Cream maker, and a new shower head thing...  We've only used the citrus juicer so far. 

I don't normally work on Wednesdays but, I'm helping cover today.  Which means I am severely behind in my Dawson's Creek Summer Marathon endeavor!! I must see every episode I've missed.  We gotta get the DVR cable box, cause we really do need it!! But I do love our new HD flat tv :)  Muahaha.. we should get one for our bedroom also!! Okay, time to get ready for work.. la di da!

Well... things have been going okay.  Poppy's out of the nursing home and he's rehabilitating at my mom's house.  So of course my mom is going crazy with her parents being there 24/7.  They really want to go back to Queens.  It obviously hasn't hit them that they can't live alone anymore - my grandpa needs help.  I have to go over there before I go to work today to help them do something on the computer, who knows.  Then I have work: Today (4-10), Wednesday (10-4), Thursday (4-10), Friday (10-4)... nastyness.  Then Monday-Thursday we're going to be in Hershey.  I really want to go to the Hershey Hotel Spa and get like a chocolate bath or something.  We also have to figure out what we're doing for next year.  Either plan our Disney trip or Disney cruise. I can't wait!! Oh and yeah - we need to start planning our wedding, bah. I really hope the Pleasantdale Chateau can be an option, I've completely fallen in love with that place.  We originally wanted to do a destination wedding, but with Poppy's condition that's definitely out of the question.

Things to do this week: clean, do laundry, call the school that I'm placed in for the fall for the SECOND time and hopefully the principal will be there this time - or actually call me back, and go to the pool.

Well I'm back at work today... from 4-10, then work tomorrow from 10-4. Bah humbug. Today we went to get Ry's transcripts. I cleaned a bit yesterday... I'm gonna continue that this weekend. I can't wait for the room to be all cleaned and the laundry to be all done. I'm so behind in this crap - oh well.

Bleh. I wanna get the Billy Blanks dvd's and start exercising. I never go to the gym, I'm such a waste.

What do you want from me?!?!?!

So in an hour I have my last final and then I'm finally done with school for the year. I went from the fall semester to a 2 week winter break to the spring semester to London with school in May then to summer semester for the last month and today I will be DONE. I have work tomorrow til 4 then I am off and relaxing until next Thursday (That's when I have work again).

I have a lot of things I want to do this summer. I want to take a lot of daytrips since I'm only working 3 days a week. I also want to redecorate our bedroom and finally paint it. We've had the paint for a year now, and we finally will have the chance to paint it. Ooo by the way we just got a new HD flatscreen tv for the living room - fun and a half right there. We're gonna get that optimum box that records like Tivo... ooo watching my Dawson's Creek reruns will be so DAMN fun. And I'll FINALLY see the episode where Mitch dies.

Sidenote: I've just decided that I'm going to do a lot of cleaning until next Thursday. And the best part is - I am going to rent all the DVD's of Dawson's Creek and do a marathon! I am so excited now!!

Anyways... I should go and study.. I'll probably post more later because I'm gonna have a huge break before my night class.
