singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
So. I thought surely I wouldn't have anything to write about, but life always throws me a curve ball!
1. I lost 2.4lbs last week on my first week of weight watchers!
2. Hurricane Gustav is making Loyola shit itself, and I may have to evacuate. I so don't want to. It is easy to play like it would be fun to not have school/work for a few days, but it scares me to think that something really bad could happen... again. When all the seniors talk about their "Katrina Semester", it makes me really glad that I didn't have to pick up and move halfway through the year and then move back again. I don't want a "Gustav semester"
3. I woke up this morning to find my roommate's boyfriend (who basically lives here) dying his hair in the bathroom. Not some crazy color. He was dying it brown. His hair is already brown.
I mean, clearly, he's gay... right?
Fucking weirdos.

if she goes away, it's all right, and i'm okay
OKAY. I'm exhausted. BUT I promised myself I would update this tonight (who knows if y'all even keep up with this stupid thing! I'll pretend you do. I bet Mama does. She stalks jailbirds online! The least she could do is check my blog.)
The job at Starbucks is working out GREAT! I really like it a lot... It's a lot of work, and it will take me a while to feel like I have it all under my belt, but so far, so good. I worked today, yesterday, and Sunday, and I work again Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday...
and then I'm done with training! (Thank GOD! Training sucks. It's so much less hands-on stuff than I would prefer.)
Classes started yesterday. I'm generally pretty pleased with my courses.
Religion ("Sin: The History of an Idea"): The professor is this incredibly sweet old lady (ahem, a NUN. Sister Elizabeth.), and so far, the articles she's given us have been very readable. The subject itself is pretty interesting, so I think it will be fine, aside from the fact that it's a 9:30 class, aka the buttcrack of dawn.
Philosophy ("Making Moral Decisions"): Same guy who taught my Intro to Philosophy class, and I liked him a lot... though it seems there will be some overlap from that class into this. Our first assignment was to read/answer questions on an article we did in Intro. Oh well... I don't feel like it's too easy, I just feel a little at an advantage cause I have a better grasp on the material...
French: Please kill me. Sil-vous plais?
European and Comparative Government: The class is HUGE (like 30 people AT LEAST... that's a freaking ginormous class for Loyola... I've never had more than 20 tops!), the professor is, in my opinion, a waste of oxygen. She taught my International Organizations class last spring, and she is seriously an embarrassment to political science professors everywhere. At least she's an easy A? Although in my major classes, I'd rather get a C and really feel like I"ve learned something that's going to benefit my career. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.
US Foreign Policy: Good lord. There are 7 people in the class (myself included), and I am the ONLY GIRL! And most likely, from the sound of our discussions, easily the most retarded student in there. Not that that intimidates me... I'm a pretty good bullshitter, and the professor seems REALLY cool. He requires his students to read the NY Times daily... good thing Loyola provides it to students for free! And Starbucks donates NY Times to the animal shelter at the end of the day, so if I don't pick it up at school, I can swipe it from work. Should be an interesting course, especially with the elections coming up.
So there you have it. Add in work with a sprinkle of cheap college bar booze, and you have my life. Jealous? You should be. :)

well i never seem to do it like anybody else
OKAY. So. There have been quite a few happenings in the dirty dirty these past few days.
First of all, Reginelli's never called me! How GAY is that?! BUT! It doesn't matter. Because on a whim, I turned in an application at the starbucks in Metairie, and I got hired!!! $8.50 an hour plus tips, which is usually $2.50-$3.50 an hour. I was supposed to start training yesterday, but they rescheduled it to tomorrow... which is good I guess, except for it is supposed to rain all day tomorrow, and driving out to Metairie in the rain is a load of bull. Oh well, I'll have to do it at one point or another! And I have a feeling it pays a LOT better than the Reginelli's job, PLUS there is a parking lot! Ding ding ding, WINNER!
Last night was... interesting! Our friend Kelly was having a party at his new house, and so we (Camille and I) decided to go. Well around 9 o'clock we were in my room getting all gussied up (oh yeah, I just said gussied up), and guess who just waltzes in... EVAN! He is a great secret keeper and surprised us all. It was lovely to see him. Anyway, we went to that party and I also went to a party at Constance's house... it was a lot of fun.
Dad is in town. They were going to go fishing but with Tropical Storm Fay approaching (which the threat of is making all the new freshman shit their pants), it is too windy. So they're going to come by around 3:30 or 4:00 or so... Sounds like they had a fun night last night! :P
I joined weight watchers... it is hard work, but I'm giving it a week to see how I feel.
(By the way, my roommates are disgusting.)

olympics!!!
I think I may have gotten a job. I'll know for sure on Friday. It would be answering the phone / taking orders at Reginelli's, and I'd move up to server. Cross your fingers!!!
i've got my sights set on you
Places I've applied to work (that don't want me):
Hemline
Petcetera
Funky Monkey
Starbucks
CC's Coffee
Coldstone
Reginelli's
Blockbuster
I know, right?!
I WILL find a job. By god.
So last night I went on the most romantic date ever... We went to Cafe DuMonde and got beignets to go and sat on the moonwalk and watched the sun set and the ships go up and down the river and the cars go over the GNO, and then we got in the car and drove around only the most beautiful parts of this city.
Oh, and my date? Was Camille. ;P
One of these days... I'll have a date with an X chromosome.

1956: budapest is riding
Guess who's happy to be back in the DIRTY DIRTY!!!!
It's been a long-ass summer. Exhausting. Frustrating. More than anything, it was just difficult to go from being all on my own (no matter how often I despised it) to being... well, being in Katy, TX. I never realized how much I despise the entire attitude of that place. It's what I would like to call: an epic fail. Hahahaha.
Anyway. It doesn't matter, cause I'm back now, moved into my apartment (which, though better than a dorm, needs plenty of work... and my roommates certainly don't seem to mind the fact our sink is hidden by a half-inch thick film of filth), my room looks fabulous (pictures below!) and school starts a week from today. I'm trying to find a job, but I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a place uptown that is hiring!!! I checked all the Starbucks (even 2 in Metairie), Hemline, Ah-Ha, and Frock Candy, and they're all fully-staffed. I will not be deterred, though. I WILL find a job. I'll try again tomorrow.
As for the rest of today, I'm hoping to go workout at the rec-plex at school and go out tonight. You're only young once, right?
OH! And I'm joining weight watchers!!! I'm really excited. First meeting is Wednesday!
