end of summer

so summer term is coming to a close. as much as i really enjoyed my classes, i wish i had squeezed in a bit more beach time. luckily i am going to wildwood with a bunch of people for labor day weekend which should be a lot of fun. also, i'm looking forward to a family vacation to florida during break. i wish i only had stuff to be excited about, but unfortunately i am stressing about my final poetry submission for creative writing. (it always seems like i am stressed about a writing project when i post in here.) i also have projects for my two other classes since they all wrap up this week. and i am a little stressed about the gre exams which i am taking on september 12th. who would have thought grad school would be this scary? i can't believe i only have 3 short terms left here at drexel. the time seems to have flown by...

meh...

okay, so it's been a little while since i posted, but i've been pretty boring lately. i've been in home improvement mode, which includes drilling holes in stuff with a power drill, attaching bookshelves to the wall, and electricuting myself while installing a light fixture. but it's okay, because i really like how the new place looks. right now i'm just stressing out about my short story for creative writing. it's due tonight, and i'm not sure if it is any good. first of all, it is a half a page too long, and i can't find anything else to cut out of it. second of all i'm not that confident of a writer and i don't want to look dumb, since i am going for my certificate in creative writing and publishing. wish me luck...

in the new apartment!!!

so we got everything moved in pretty much, and now it is just a matter of unpacking it all. i hate comcast so much. so far they have managed to screw up our cable installation three times already. i didn't realize how addicted i am to tv and internet until now when i don't have it. aside from that crap the place is pretty and much bigger than my old place. i'm really happy with it, and i can't wait until i have all my stuff unpacked and put away.

:-)

signing my lease today!!!!

anyway, last night was the first orientation ice cream social. it was pretty fun, which is good since these things are going to take up my monday and thursday nights for pretty much the rest of the summer. i think i'm getting to old or something, b/c 11:30 was just too late for it to end. i'm tired today. how pathetic is that?

this past week...

so this past week has been pretty busy. there was the 4th of july holiday, which was a nice break from classes. i think we should have wednesdays off every week. i didn't really do anything special for the holiday, but it was nice to have a day to chill out. thursday was nuts. my little brother moved into the art institute of philadelphia, so i spent the whole day moving boxes and dorm furniture. my back still hasn't forgiven me. i'm really glad he's in the city with me. on friday he was feeling a little homesick, and i was happy to be able to just take a short subway ride and have dinner with him. friday was my day off of class and work, so i had a three day weekend, which i spent packing up my apartment for my up coming move! i am signing my lease tomorrow and i couldn't be more excited! i called this morning and reserved the moving van, but i still have so much packing to do. how i fit as much crap as i did into a little one bedroom apartment is beyond me. so hopefully i'll be completely in my apartment by the end of the day friday, but that means i have a busy week ahead of me...

yay!

12 days until we sign the lease on our beautiful new apartment!!!!

Creative Writing

so i just wanted to say my creative writing class was really interesting and fun last night. it was a great first class for the summer term. i have philosophy 105 and psychological testing and assessment today, which don't sound anywhere near as fun. the bright side of the philosophy class is my boyfriend already took the same course with the same professor, so he gave me his old book and saved me $75 at the bookstore. pretty sweet.
