I am jealous of everyone that is at college already.

Karl is gone.
MO leaves in a few days.
I am one of the only college students left at Fosters.
My other friends don't even care about saying goodbye to me.


I am so lonely and bored and I don't leave for another month

Get Smashed, Gate Crash

My dorm started planning a party for move-in day and I guess administration read the comments on the event page on Facebook, and we got an e-mail saying people's name were taken down by the admin, police, and student leaders.  We haven't even started school yet and we're already the trouble-makers.  I'm so excited (and not even sarcastically)!

Dawn Of the Dead

Does it offend you, yeah?

Screw Calculus I am watching movies

So you are all going to be jealous of my schedule. My classes consist of:
Design I
American Classic Cinema
Physical Science for Design
The Drexel Experience (This is where I learn how to ride the subway)
Shooting and Lighting
Expository Writing and Reading

Although my classes are pretty kick ass, I have still been very mopey about the odd Drexel schedule and how I will soon give up summers and have completely opposite vacations from any other college. However then I got this e-mail and I stopped feeling anxious for maybe two minutes

Folks,

For many years I wrote messages to students in the Honors College at
particularly stressful times. Now that I've been asked to take on
responsibilities as your chief academic administrator, I have a much
larger audience of students to whom I am dedicated. The previous
messages drew from my own experiences as a student, and Honors students
often told me that my words helped them through tough times. It is in
that spirit that I offer you the following. I promise to keep it brief.

Summer term is winding down for those in classes. Soon you will face
paper or project deadlines and exams. For our students on co-op, your
job is coming to an end. In both cases, you are experiencing, somewhat
prematurely (to judge by some other college students), what most
working
folks have come to accept: that summer is just another season for work.
Yes, Drexel students "mature" faster than others as you engage
professional responsibilities or the rigors of learning during the
season of play for most college-age people. Or at least that's what
those of us working or learning at Drexel believe, and with reason.
Many
students nationally have found employment or summer internships that
are
pretty taxing. Still, those in classes are feeling put upon, worn out;
and after six months of full-time work, learning about a new profession
during beach weather, our co-ops have met challenges that few mere
summer internships pose. Understandably, from time to time you may be
feeling deprived, even that your youth is slipping by.

Learning, whether on co-op or in classes, is never easy. In fact, I
think it's the hardest activity humans can do. It demands more
intensive
engagement, poses more challenges, than most professional positions
will
demand of you. (That explains why professors' formal work hours appear
light compared to people in jobs that do not demand discovering new
knowledge. Your professors are constantly assimilating and developing
new knowledge: as I said, the hardest things humans can do.) Add to
your
challenge of learning vast amounts of new material and difficult
concepts, those deadlines for projects and written work, the constant
press of exams, culminating in those dreaded finals, and you have real
reasons to feel down during what used to be the happiest season. I
loved
college; but I hated finals. Those two weeks of stress, anxiety, long
hours, and uncertainty always made me question why I was putting myself
through such agony. During every term, every year of college, I never
was able to enter an exam period with the confidence or calm of some of
my friends.

As Drexel students, you have chosen a more demanding calendar than
most.
You have chosen the harder path. You have chosen to learn, non-stop,
for
years. You have chosen to spend summers booking or working. And for
this
you have but one consolation: the future. You have taken on greater
demands now, sacrificed immediate gratifications, for future gains in
knowledge, mastery, and professional success. You have exhibited-are
exhibiting-that most rare of human traits: self-denial. And for that,
you have my admiration and support and, I trust, the understanding of
your professors or supervisors that what you are accomplishing is of
lasting value. So press hard into the conclusion of your co-op, study
relentlessly for those exams, and make the extra effort to ensure that
your project or paper is all it can be. The rewards, as you know, are
just over the horizon of accomplishment you have created. For you, your
future promises to be the happiest season.

Un peu, my ass.

Last night I met the coolest drunk person ever.  His name is Bret and he's from London, Boston, and Somerville.  All at the same time!  He speaks French, Portuguese, Dutch, and Spanish.  And probably other languages too.  Talking to drunk strangers in French on the street may be sketchy, but it sure is fun!

My name is Person.

I just babysat the cutest kids ever.  The youngest, who's like three, has been my pal for years.  Today, we had a Thomas Party and the 3 year old played a ukulele and made up songs about parties and their Be Bop Band.  Then we danced to Christmas music in their kitchen.  If I ever have kids and they're not exactly like those kids, I'm going to be very disappointed. 

I got into one of the dorms I wanted!  And my roommate seems really nice.  This is my biggest worry right now: having too much stuff and it being a bitch to get it all into my room.  Life's tough.

still one month to go

I cant wait to make friends in college

Don't Watch The Olympics

Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. Don't watch the Olympics. 

Don't Taze Me, Bro.

Here are some things I have learned in the past few minutes:

- My family is full of people who are selfish.

- And dumb.

- And not funny.

- Little James and Alex are inherently evil.

- Little kids are willing to believe a lot of things, including that their uncle is the Master of the Known Universe.

- Rain sucks. 

You know how little girls, and maybe boys, always talk about how they're going to get married, have kids, and live happily ever after? Well, the little first grade girls in my cousins class in FL are saying that they're going to get married, get divorced, and then drink Mai Tai's.  Disturbing.  And sad. 

I'm ace at poker and should probably make my living off it.

Last night I went out with my brother, cousins, and their friend, and we just rode around the beach on our bikes until it was 12:30. We had to run from the rangers and hide in shadows, and we got in little bitch fights with other kids.  Being in a bike gang is fun.

Insomnia

I think I have seen every single movie that has come out this summer, now I don't know what to do with myself.

I hate that I am exhausted every night, but the minute I lay down I am wide awake again.

I am on overtime the whole day today, thank god.

I wish I could house-sit!!!!!!!!

Have a fabulous Saturday
(I want a nap)
