It's easy to get used to doing nothing...which is precisely what I've been doing for the past week. Since I'm no longer working and most of my friends have already headed on back to school, my days have been spent on the couch watching reruns of various sitcoms and snacking on chips & salsa. At times, I toy with the idea of packing for school, but then a good show comes on, and that idea quickly exits my brain. The last couple days, I did actually leave the house to do some last minute shopping for the apartment and such. But because I chose to be a complete vegetable this last week, tomorrow I am going to be SUPER busy getting ready to move on Friday. And I'm just gonna have to pray that everything fits in my little car.
Man, I'm ready to get back to Manhattan..
In other news, I bought some aviators today. I am officially awesome.

Adios Applebee's
Today was my very last day working at Applebee's...EVER. All I can say is Hallelujah! I've been waiting for this day for a long time...about two years, in fact. The Bee's was there when I needed it and it served me well, but now it's so long for good! Unless I can't find a job in Manhatty...then I'll probably have to settle for working at Applebee's there...but I'd rather not think about that. For now, I'm celebrating the end of an era.
And T-minus 4 days until I move. Woohoo!

The Talkies
I have seen A LOT of movies this summer. Way more than usual. And I've pretty much liked every one of them. Here is my ranking of the movies I've seen from best to worst (and my opinion of each).
1. The Hangover was effing HILARIOUS. I thought I was gonna need new underwear afterward. It was definitely the best movie of the summer.
2. Up was sooo cute and funny and bubbly and happy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I could have seen it in 3D!
3. The Proposal was a surprisingly good movie. It was a little cheezy, but just made you feel good. And who wouldn't want to stare at Ryan Reynolds for two hours??
4. The Ugly Truth was also a feel-good movie. It was very witty and enjoyable. I love everything Katherine Heigl does.
5. Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince was a little bit of a disappointment for me. Overall the movie was good, but if you've read the book, you understand how terrible the end was.
6. Angels and Demons. I thought this movie was better than The Da Vinci Code movie...but I haven't read the book yet. I should really get on that..
7. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen was waayyy too long, but it was still pretty good, I guess. I'm all for action movies, but something about robots fighting each other is not that exciting to me. Can't we just stick to people killing other people?
8. Terminator. The only reason this is at the bottom is because I don't really remember that much about it. I'm pretty sure I liked it, though. I do know it was super loud.
Sometime before I leave (in the next week and a half) I want to see: Funny People, Public Enemies, G.I. Joe, Julie & Julia, and The Time Traveler's Wife.
Think I can do it!? Yeah...probably not.

What are you doing!?
I really hate it when people clap at the end of movies. It's so annoying.

Summer
It has been a REALLY long time since I've posted anything on here, and I'm sorry about that! The reason is that I just haven't had anything to talk about.
My summer has been extremely uneventful. I am still working at Applebee's (unfortunately), and I'm not making as much money as I need to before school. Next Thursday I will finally be done with my 8-week summer classes, and I couldn't be more excited! After that, I'll have an entire month to relax before I start school again. But I am so ready to go back to Manhattan.
Last weekend, my family and two other families (the Sharps and Moravacs) went camping at Pomona Lake, and it was so much fun!
Friday night, we just set up camp and hung out. When we inflated the air mattresses, one of them reeked of cat pee. In the past, one of our cats liked to sneak into the closet where we kept those things and the mattress smelled horrible, so Marissa and Katie slashed the bed with a knife. Guess who was supposed to sleep on that bed? Yeah. Marissa and I ended up on the ground.
Saturday was pretty much the best day ever. When we got up, our family had the job of making breakfast for everyone else, and it was great. Then, after a quick Wal-mart run, everyone went swimming in the lake, which was fantastic. The Sharps brought one of their wave runners, so after swimming, we went tubing. It was a blast, but I forgot just how much work it is hanging on to that thing and how much it hurts when you can't! I'm pretty sure we fell off about five times, but it was still great. When we were done tubing, Marissa, Katie and I went for a ride on the sea-do for at least an hour, and I've gotta say, my butt was hurting after that! Then, a bunch of us threw the football around for awhile. Marissa finally let me teach her how to throw the ball right. Pretty soon, we might even have her watching a game! Well...maybe not. The Moravacs made an amazing steak dinner that night, and we finished it all off with some s'mores. After everything I did on Saturday and after sleeping on the ground, I don't think my body has ever been as sore as it was on Sunday. I felt like I was about 85 years old and could barely walk.
At about 6:30 Sunday morning, we awoke to blistering winds and terrential rains. I'm surprised the tent could withstand it. Everything that had been left outside was scattered across the ground. We decided to go to breakfast until the weather calmed down. Exhausted, we returned to the campsite, quickly packed up and headed home. That first shower felt unbelieveable.
Overall, it was an amazing weekend, and I can't wait for our next camping trip in the fall.

It Was Nice While It Lasted
Well summer has officially come and gone. Tomorrow I start my two summer classes, so goodbye sleeping in and hanging out at the pool.
I got home from school a little over two weeks ago. I finished the year off well and today I found out that I made the Dean's List again. I went back to work at Applebee's and FINALLY trained to serve. I like serving much more than hosting and I am making more money. Last friday I went to Worlds Of Fun with a few of my high school friends and we had a blast, but I spent all the money I had made.
Besides all of this, I haven't been doing much. I am really really dreading going to summer school. I wish these last two weeks wouldn't have gone so fast. I kind of just want summer to end. I miss Manhattan.

Let's Just Pause For A Sec
Summer is officially here. I'm not quite used to it. I got home two days ago, and it kind of feels like I'm just here for a weekend visit. I also have this constant need to be doing something. I feel like I have homework or studying or some kind of work to do! But I don't. Weird. I guess that problem will be solved in two weeks when I start my summer classes. Yay. And I am going back to work on Monday. I'm serving this summer, so hopefully I will make more money than I have in the past because I am scary broke right now.
Finals week went pretty well. It was really stressful and extremely exhausting. I studied all day everyday, and it felt like my brain was slowly melting into soup. It got to the point where I wasn't even sure if I knew how to tie my shoes. I also found out that I talk to myself a lot more when I'm stressed and severely sleep deprived. It's a little strange. I get mad at myself and say mean things. If anyone was around me, they would think I have schizophrenia or something. Whatever. My tests were a little more difficult than I expected, but I think I still got A's. I'm just happy the semester is over.
I can't believe I'm done with my first year of college. It really is mind-blowing to think about. I graduated high school an entire year ago. And tomorrow, the next class is graduating! It's just so weird. I really wish time would slow down a bit, so I could really enjoy these next few years. Everything is just going a little too fast. Where is that darn pause button!?
