Time: 7:00 p.m.
So I’m supposed to be studying, and I decide to re-vamp my page instead…isn’t procrastination great?? 🙂 I’ve got two exams at the end of this week, but I just can’t seem to motivate myself to study for them. I actually baked cookies yesterday in an attempt to avoid studying. And today I don’t even know what I’ve been doing, but it’s 7:00 and I haven’t studied much yet.
Good news of the day: looks like I’ve found a place to stay in New York! I’m just gonna wait a day or two to see if anything else comes up before I take it, but I’m pretty sure that I’m going to. It’s on the upper west side of Manhattan, about a 15-minute subway ride to Times Square. It sounds just about perfect for me, so hopefully everything will work out. I knew something had to go my way soon! 🙂
My grandpa got married on Saturday! I wasn’t there, unfortunately, because it was rather short notice and it’s also pretty far away, but I heard it was a lovely day. It’s kind of strange, and it’ll take a little while to get used to, but I’m really happy for him. I hope they are very happy together for many years to come!
I brought my friend Laurie over to my house on the weekend, and we watched some videos and stuff…more Douglas, of course, and also a video yearbook of this year in residence that she got. I have to admit, it did make me almost nostalgic for res. There are some really great things about living in residence, and I’ll never forget a lot of the people I met there. I think that anyone who chooses not to live in res at all when they go to university is making a big mistake. It’s such a unique experience, that you’ll never be able to have anywhere else. I’m glad I did it, but I know that as soon as I start thinking about all the reasons I chose to leave, I’ll be glad I’m not there anymore too. 🙂
My mom told me that the soap opera Another World is going to be cancelled!! I can’t tell you how upset this makes me! I’ve been watching that show for over 13 years…it’s been a really big part of my life for so many years. And my mom’s been watching for over 25 years, so she’s taking it pretty badly too! 🙂 I hope that it doesn’t really happen, but if it does, I will definitely feel an emptiness. It’s strange how we can get so attached to people that don’t even exist!
Anyway, enough procrastinating…I *will* go study now! Wish me luck!!
