11:21 pm	I am pretty certain that this I will be the last person to ever continue updating this. There is really no excuse for referring to an actual notebook and pen, other than the fact that such a task is so much more time consuming than typing. Watching what is happening in Washington right now, really makes me contemplate never going through with a political science degree and pursuing my ambitions of being a senator. I am hopeful and proud of my country, in an indescribable way I have never been before. That sounds typically quite corny, but it's the truth. (hollaaaa!)

8:53 am	For the first time in six years I never made a summer update, but I think that's because this year I realized that the lessons learned have progressively been taking place inconsistently for much longer than a single season. I realized recently that I was dead wrong on how I thought I could handle life-changing moments. When I lost one of the only two perfect people I knew this summer, I realized that for my own sanity I would not be around much to grieve and dwell on the inevidible. And so, when he passed, I was selfishly doing things to keep me busy: eating lunch on sunset, getting coffee on Melrose, shopping at Kitson and taking in the views from Muholland Drive...all of my favorite things. Only two and half months later to realize that I never dealt with anything. Every new attempt I made at dealing with anything was merely an obstacle to avoid and ignore what was happening. So now, subsequently, I have royally screwed myself over. Because now, at a time where it does not make sense to be dealing with something that happened two and a half months ago....my head is a mess and I can feel it in my body and I cannot seem to avoid the constant reminders from my brain telling me the obvious. On another note it's very strange having the same instances occur in your life literally one year apart. It is kind of a smack in the face to all of the changes you have made in between. Instead of reminicing about my childhood and analzying every moment from Thursday night, first and foremost I was just happy to be with Kelly. I was happy to invest time in one of my best friends and realize that she will always be just that. Last weekend was a lot of fun, despite the fact that I slammed my face into a fitting room door and was gushing blood in the Tallahassee mall...it was comforting to be in a place without feeling awkward. BEN KWELLER at the Social so very soon! (hollaaaa!)

10:10 am	My life will become L.A. bound for the next five days. Under the unfortunate circumstance, I feel like an enormous weight has been lifted off my shoulders knowing that I can hug him one more time. My constant struggle with death, does not seem to get any easier...often I wonder if it does for anyone. And what bothers me most, is that stuff like this is supposed to happen... this is part of life, but nonetheless there is nothing more grueling and terrifying. Despite my situation I cannot help but to feel a little relieved I'll at least be in California...a second home, that I have learned to be in love with is. I don't understand all of the New York hype...I mean it's great, but L.A. is always going to have a soft spot in my heart as the greatest place to be. Differents strokes for different folks I guess. I fully intend to workout for two hours tonight to take the guilt away from the nonstop in-and-out double double's my body is about to consume. (hollaaaa!)

1:38 pm	Sometimes I wonder when I will every stop updating my livejournal. A big part of me thinks it's time, but a bigger part of me thinks it should never end. Graduation is rearing toward me. I am constantly reminding myself to take in the campus, and my surroundings for everything it is worth... but for the most part anything I am going to miss about the "college lifestyle" will continue on. So I have decided this: College does not have to be the best years of your life. Sure, there are aspects of it that I'll reminisce about...but for the most part I was not completely impressed with it. College was the first thing to ever make me feel stupid... I was continually stuck in a room with a bunch of brilliant people that I continually felt second rate to. I am freakishly linked to my parents, therefore, feeling the need to move out and spend endless nights just for the sake of rebelling was something I never felt the need to do. For the most part, I found the majority of UF to be filled with a bunch of pretentious, stuck up young adults who have no idea what it is to have a real work ethic. Side note: Signing up for sorority recruitment, while your parents pay for everything because you don't have time for a real job is not WORK. Roommates, regardless of how you met or how you found them...they get irritating. And frankly there is never enough closet space. Of course, I'll miss: Satchel's, The Top, Tijuana Flat Wednesday's, Leonardo's, Second Street Bakery... and all of the other miraculous food Gainesville has to offer. But in reality, who needs a bunch of calories sent strait to their ass anyway? I'll miss my sleepovers with Mike...except they aren't ending. They are only becoming better improved, more frequent and in a way sweeter apartment. I'll miss my two best friends, but because they are best friends our phone conversations will not become scarce and I would not be unable to function without their shopping advice and dates...thus they will never become nonexistent. THAT is the reality of college. BITTERNESS. Current Mood: anxious (hollaaaa!)

10:15 am	Today is my last day of finals. I officially do not recommend taking 15 credit-hours in six weeks. Aside from one more final, my last grade is to participate in a debate as to why whether or not I am pro or con in terms of legalizing gay marriage. We do not get to pick, which side we want to debate on and I have been stuck in the library most of the morning trying to find anything useful in case I am forced to debate from a con-perspective. I really hope this does not happen, because I really do not understand how I am supposed to argue against something I am not opposed to. school is so ::irritating:: (hollaaaa!)

10:20 am	In a summer spent mostly in seclusion, I didn't think I would learn that much... only the more time I spend with myself the more I am realizing that this summer is full of conclusions and lessons. I learned in school that if we are to use a single, word in extraordinary amounts to the point that they are part of our everyday vocabulary... I mean in truly exponential ways that they become words we live by...in essence we should be able to define them in ways no one else can. Thus I present to you a "girl with class:" ...reiterated and defined by yours truly: A classy girl... Is not perfect, but is aware of her bad habits and uses them only in moderation. For example, when our marc jacobs magazine clutch is sold out at bloomingdale's, and we just missed it at half price; its okay to swear. Has at least one pair of fabulous shoes Finds at least one charity that means something to us, not by means of adding it on Facebook, but really truly donating and advocating to something that holds true to our hearts. Whether it is by $5 or $500 a month...making an effort. Takes pride in our everyday world; relationships, work and play Never EVER purchases something because it is trendy, rather it is purchased because we adore it and know it is becoming of our shape. Thinks: "what would my mom do?" when the road gives us two ways Realizes that as fun as it is to gossip with our friends, it is really not okay at the expense of others Lastly, a classy girl will always and forever be a girl's girl. They are familiar with the rule book, though not officially written, and know there is an ethical code to the sisterhood and will never ever compromise that for means of a boy .......I'm sure there is more, but this is my start. On another note, Mike's in Gainesville with me and I am loving every minute of it. I will never stop repeating the phrase, "I am lucky." (hollaaaa!)

3:36 pm	I got to work last Friday. It was lovely to say the least. I got to contribute in employing 58 people from Kenya and stop elephant poaching in Africa... all in a single day. love it. I really love being back in Gainesville, where what I make in two weeks is equal to one day of work in Orlando. Oh well...it's almost over. Leaving and not looking back, okay maybe a little. (hollaaaa!)

9:08 am	just a few... the hardest part about growing up is: a.) realizing that you are the most functional person in your family b.) your parents were never perfect to begin with c.) if you're lucky like me, both. lovely is a classic, wonderful word... that should never, ever, be used to described a relationship (including friendship) of any kind. lovely shoes? yes. lovely weekend? yes lovely personality? quite possibly. lovely relationship? wrong. just in general. I'm in a funk and I am wondering when I will come out of it. Just once, regardless of how crazy and pretentious as it may sound I want the world to stop for me and say: "Alex when will you ever stop working so dam hard? Take a vacation." ...yeah, it will never happen. I love being so irritated to the point that you want to surround yourself in a bubble. Not really, I adore the sarcasm though. really. Current Mood: irritated (hollaaaa!)
Monday, May 19th, 2008
10:25 pm	I'm sitting in the library, exhausted beyond normalcy ...because there are a bunch of nerds in my apartment dancing to techno. No, I'm not joking. Yes, I wish I was. My days have gone from pure enjoyment to complete chaos... with each day beginning at about 6 a.m. and ending after midnight. But that's fine... My main focus is graduating, and it's almost here. Than hopefully back to my passion and no more seeing my boyfriend for a couple days at a time (!) Do you ever feel like there is so much that you physically have to do, you are uncertain as to how it will ever be finishing, properly and on time? That about sums up my current state. Current Mood: angry (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

10:56 am	I feel completely purposeless. (hollaaaa!)

9:55 pm	I am going back to Gainesville in a week and a half. I splurged on a James Perse t-shirt and pledge to never wear another brand of t-shirts as long as I live...it's worth the flow. People will always talk no matter what..They can pretend they are genuine but when push comes to shove they would rather gossip... even at the unnoticeable expense of them looking ridiculous oh well. I feel a little hollow not getting ready to pack it up and head to south Florida for the summer. I don't know if it's south Florida...or just the yearly routine of heading home and feeling pampered and relaxed for a good four months... This is the part of growing up that I don't love. LOVING that Grey's Anatomy is back...loving that a patient married a rebound because he had a brain tumor that impaired his judgment haha..loving that McDreamy stars on the big screen Friday night and loving that Izzy is beautiful and I want to look just like her. Looked at apartments in Celebration this week...can't wait to live with boyfriend! I feel a possible post-graduation vaca to L.A. coming on... Nothing like being spoiled by the people you love, just a little bit... what a STUPID update. (2 home slices | hollaaaa!)

8:53 pm	I helped give away $1.8 million dollars away at work today, to nonprofits and communities all around the world... and I think a little bit of me will always be a little different because of it. I am now a firm believer in if you really love your job you will never work a day in your life. I am so excited for Saves The Day (!) I am getting ready to make a splurge on new sunglasses and can't decide between some lovely marc jacobs aviators or some old school, Audrey Hepburn-esque ray bans. wow, I'm lame. Current Mood: pleased (hollaaaa!)

10:15 pm	Do you ever feel like there are a million significant things you should say, only because there are so many significant things happening inside you...yup, that sums it up, in its entirety. My life is different. I have traded in the college soap-opera (temporarily) to become a grown up...and I am changing, no doubt for the better. I am becoming completely consumed in my job, and learning more and more each day the difference it is making. Even as just as something insignificant enough as an intern, I am indirectly making a difference in communities for people and environments all over the world. I am finding myself more attached to places like Uganda everyday, and cannot help to notice my outlook on life changes a little bit more each day because of it. As shallow and insignificant as the PR world is, I have found a nitch that is inspiring. ...I think I much prefer this, over planning high society get togethers for Forbes, yikes. As all good things must come to an end, I am absolutely dreading summer...taking 19 credits, living in Gainesville, literally all alone. I could not sleep two nights ago...on the count of I was thinking about my boyfriend and how absolutely, without a doubt, I consider myself so as a matter of factly grateful, that he is in fact, my boyfriend. Five in a half years...and still completely amazing. Lucky, would be the understatement of my lifetime. more later. Current Mood: content (hollaaaa!)

1:15 pm	Update...Update...Update I live in Orlando. I am currently working at my dream job. I go to fancy shmancy meetings. I wear grown up clothes. I contribute to a fortune 100 company. ....and I am completely obsessed with all of it. Whoever said getting a job was no fun? I feel humble. and kind of undeserving. But either way...I am living an experience of a lifetime. and loving every hour, minute and second of it. ...Completely not loving sleeping by myself... not in my boyfriend's bed every night. Massive downer. Currently looking for in the area: 1. Good salon 2. Good mechanic Gladly taking suggestions, recomendations and all of that jazz. Oh yeah...I saw a 500 pound lion get a physical last week. AMAZING. (2 home slices | hollaaaa!)

10:59 am	I should hear from Disney by the end of today, or Monday at the latest. I should hear from Forbes "shortly." I am trying to tell myself that if I am not offered anything it is going to be a lesson of humility...to realize that sometimes there is no other place than second best. ...but just because I'm trying to teach myself that does not mean it is necessarily working. I am really over Gainesville, which I regret to say, because I feel like once I am gone I am going to wish I was was not...but either way I am ready for some place n.e.w. Latest annoyances...completely UNtolerable: 1. people who are still rocking any sort of UGG boot...it's not 2002. 2. Hoop earings...they were never cute. 3. Fleeting friendships ..completely loving that I only need a 34% on my math final to pass my class<3 please & thanks. Current Mood: anxious (4 home slices | hollaaaa!)

10:48 am	I am pretty confident that since I came out of the womb...I was completely in-love and utterly obsessed with anything Disney related. On average I find myself in the park at least 5 or 6 times a year (and that is not including Disneyland). And ever since I knew that PR was going to take over my life, I decided that if I could do it for anyone...naturally it would be Disney. Except than I learned that such a concept is merely a dream... because over the summer when a PR account Executive job was posted online... Disney estimated within 30 minutes that every single journalist, PR student and communications major in the state of Florida applied for the job. So, when Disney was hiring for a PR intern to plan Animal Kingdom's 10th Anniversary and help assist in all of their conservation and environmental sustainability programs, grants, etc...I applied for kicks. And after sorting through applications from the top ten PR programs in the country, somewhere in between I made an interview...and than I made another interview...and I went yesterday. And I walked through Disney headquarters and sat in the office of the Vice President of Media Relations and decided that in all of my favorite moments in my life this was by far, high up on the list. I was told that this internship pays well, which is always a plus...and I'm confident that is completely worth holding off graduation until August. In short...hopefully I will be living in Orlando from January-May. ..And hopefully this will lead to a permanent position. IF i get it than I will most likely live in the Disney housing that is provided, but if anyone knows of any cheap subleases or apartments in the Orlando area send me a myspace message or something...just so I can have a backup. I am so incredibly giddy right now I can hardly think about anything else... ...still waiting on Forbes! oh and I love my boyfriend. <3 Current Mood: giddy (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

8:43 am	Waking up at 8 a.m. to write a 15-page paper that is due in approximately 2 hours is highly overrated. Today I am doing this that has not been done in a long time: Taking a day OFF. Today will only consist of fun and sleep. (hollaaaa!)

10:08 pm	I am trying to think of an alternative to the word "whirlwind," only I can't...so for lack of anything else more intelligent...this week has been just that. To make a long story a tad bit shorter, by the end of the weekend any fear or anxiety I had about establishing any real career has semi-faded away. I now know what I am capable of...professionally anyway. And, as if this was not enough of a pathetic self-esteem booster...I was offered my first real job/internship by the managing editor of Forbes Magazine... which by the way is located on 60 5th Avenue New York, N.Y. ...This may very well possibly be the best thing academically/ professionally to occur in my lifetime. I feel like everything I have set out to do is finally starting to pay off. There is nothing more frustrating than working so hard and not understanding where the payoff is...but that is no more. Mike is revamping my resume as we speak so it can be shipped off ASAP! Ironically enough accepting the adult portion of my life completely coincided with my Sunday plans. Sunday I saw Hanson, and Sunday I realized what it was like to completely forget about every minuscule frustration that can exist at any given time. Sunday I realized that there is a big, HUGE part of me that will never grow older, and Sunday I realized that was okay. I am starting to feel completely okay with myself...which seems to come and go, but for the moment it is blissful. I am slowly starting to realize that even though my mother is one of the most essential things to exist in my small little world... at the end of the day I have to live for myself. I have finally understood the peace and tranquility that comes along with indifference. It is never easy setting aside your pride, but in my case it had to be done and I feel like a huge weight that I have carried inside of me is no longer there. Current Mood: excited (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

10:15 pm	I have such a busy week, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it: Monday: New Found Glory Tuesday: BREAK! Wednesday: Work. Thursday: DISNEY! Friday-Saturday: Alligator 100th Anniversary (This is the sole reason I was hired as an intern) No pressure right? Sunday: HANSON (staying in Disney, of course) Wow, what an annoying, obnoxious post. P.S. Completely, utterly over classes. Someone please hire me as an account exec. so I can start making the flow. end. (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

9:53 am	update update update: My life has gotten to the point where there is literally not enough minutes in the day...at least that's how it feels. But I'm making it work, in one way or another. Rilo Kiley last night = fabulous. That's all I can say. There are so many fun things coming up this month that it kind of compensates for all of the work that has to be done. I have a meeting with my guidance counselor on Friday to apply for graduation...eek. I went to use my credit card last night, and than put it away. I'm finally learning how to manage my $money... it only took 22 years. Current Mood: sleepy (hollaaaa!)

10:55 am	Senior year is starting to make the right impression, just four weeks in. I'm IN LOVE with my apartment, if I can dig my camera out from wherever it is... pictures soon. I LOVE having Jenny as a roommate. There's never any redneck boyfriends in my apartment, never any drama... I don't really have a lot of spare time, but so far I have been able to use time management to my advantage. Plus, I love my job(s), classes and clubs so nothing is ever really a hassle. Football season, has been incredible ...as expected. I celebrated my 5 year last week, and I can safely assume that Friday night is one that I won't ever forget. Mike got me the best present ever, and to say I was surprised would be an enormous understatement. I am lucky, and I know it. Current Mood: grateful (hollaaaa!)

10:06 pm	Garrett "ceps" Krinsky, J.D. Moore and Associates, Mike and myself are currently in the library studying... only my brain is full and I need a break... so UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE... I am doing everything in my power to get strait As this semester (hence the hangout time in the library) more later. (hollaaaa!)

12:30 pm	This weekend was just the way I liked it. Saturday: Tailgate Football game (!) Satchel's Double date Sunday: Lazy River My introduction to Lost Monday: Labor Day BBQ ...not a bad way to kick off Fall semester. Things I am looking forward to: 1. Cirque Du Solei for my "vintage relationship" 2. HANSON...October 19 3. Rilo Kiley October 2 ..what a dumb dumb post (2 home slices | hollaaaa!)
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007
9:54 am	I am back from my southern road trip ( side note: I love New Orleans) and currently sitting on my computer at the Alligator... ...which can only mean one thing: summer has come and gone, yet again...for me at least. ...And five summers ago I read this amazing book, which sparked me to believe that our growth of who we are as people, is not measured by years, but rather the summers that take part in them. ...And so, since then, I have made mental and permanent notes of what has been learned, lost and so on...as each year of this season passes by. ...And in conclusion... This summer I learned... 1. My mom will still, always be the most perfect person I will ever know; and being perfect does not mean we are without mistakes, but rather it is what is done in our efforts to fix what is broken. And my head may be a little messed up, for a little while longer, but I would like to believe that this will only help me to reprioritize my life a little bit better. 2. Regardless of what I once thought, your are who your company is, and to think otherwise would be nothing more than a naive assumption. Taking the time and effort to befriend someone, who leaves you in question of how and why they are friends with others, only turn in to dissapointment. (in most cases sooner than later) The qualities of your closest friends, are exactly intended to become part of us. Which taught me my next lesson... 3. Since we are the company we keep, it is only obligatory to keep only the people, that we can actually feel, and understand around us. Fickle qualitites like lying, unappreciation, dishonesty and so on should not exist, and if and when they do, it is easiest to simply cut it out as quickly as possible. And this does not mean, that life may not be a little bit more lonely for a period of time...but when all is said and done, I would like to believe it is completely worth it. To coincide with this, a good friend of mine, had recently experienced some of her own family drama this summer, and reminded me of something so significant. It seems as teenagers, we all insist that all of our free time be spent with our friends, because they are what create the lasting memories in our lives. But in retrospect, my friend explained, the memories with her friends were unforgetable, but it was her family vacations and family dinners that she missed the most. And this seems to be a reocurring theme as we get older. So no matter how insane our families are, it is truly vital to not take them for granted. 4. Most of the time there is nothing wrong with making a mistake, as long as first and foremost we learn from it, and truly and completely understand the affect to those we may have hurt. There is nothing quite like hearing a sincere apology. And this works both ways: The faster we can set aside our pride, and learn to give them when necessary, is when we will always be better off. 5. If someone has the intent to absolutely anger me in an indescribeable amount, they will insult someone close to me, rather than insult me directly. 6. Girls who insist that they are not "those girls," are in fact "those girls" in denile. People who are constantly in question of "who is real" are not real themsevles. 7. Good people, truly good people, will not take pitty in the sometimes unwanted situations in your life, but rather be there in ways without you even asking. 8. It is irrational to assume that the ones closest to us, will never hurt us in indrescribeable amounts, at least once. But the quicker we accept that once in awhile, this fiasco occurs, the quicker we are at getting over it. 9. On a personal note, for many years I could never truly accept that the GE was no longer the GE, and maybe it was my book that helped me comes to term with this. But over the years, we have all moved away, our phone conversations and visits to one another has become less and less frequent. We are now closer to others, and live completely independent lives, that only we know about. And as much as it hurt me to accept that, I have realized that the GE was never just a group of people, it was an era in our lives. It was a time and a place that will always live on. But, at the end of the day it is these three opinions and friendships that still remain most important to me. 10. We cannot assume that we "get what we deserve" in life, and when we come to terms with this, only good things can follow. Life bombards us with tragical events, and blissful moments that constantly leave us in question "why do i deserve this?" But I have come to conclusion that life is nothing more than a random episode, of random events that come and go...whether we deserve them or not. However, it is what we do with this random episode that determine our next steps in life. 11. The sooner we stop taking pitty on ourselves the sooner we are able to fix what is wrong. To think I am the only girl who obsesses over herweight and grades, comes from a semi-dysfunctional family, and only semi-likes herself at the moment, is just nonsense. The phrase "we are are own worse memory" is a cliche for a reason. 12. There is nothing more comforting than having a single person in your life who just gets it. Those are the realist people that exist in our world. There are not enough words to describe how lucky I feel to have my boyfriend in my life. Our life is not perfect by any means, nothing ever is, but close to perfect is an indescribable emotion that leaves me feeling so grateful for what he has brought into my little world. When someone loves you in this enormous amount, even the smallest things have more meaning...and that is when you know life is good. 13. This year will be my last year of college. (although I will probably end up back in school in a year, because who am I without it?) I have one of two options, (which of both I have experienced thus far) I can choose to fear my future, or embrace what is to come. I am choosing to embrace it. love it. and loving to embrace it. The end<3 Current Mood: thankful (4 home slices | hollaaaa!)

10:01 am	I only have 5 days left in s. florida. .over it. I am packing up, and painting back my apartment this weekend. I feel some- what releived to be moving out of that place. While they only existed sparingly, some of the worst moments I can recall existed within those walls...and it just feels good to be l.e.a.v.i.n.g.... Not to mention I am pretty much moving into the most amazing place ever. I averaged out my pay at work, and I have managed to make 13 dollars an hour, not ten...which I'm pretty stoked about. I hope I took care of what I came home to do. I am not sure at how good of job I did, but I am crossing my fingers that it was enough. ROADTRIPPING it to teeexxxxaaasss next week (!) ...Many new magnets will be added to my collection (!) (hollaaaa!)

4:28 pm	Last week I decided that everything that I needed to go right was going wrong. And I became frustrated, and irritated..and grumpy. And than in one, single day ...I witnessed a number of unfortunate, depressing events through the lives of other people... and than I realized that I was being a selfish, uptight moron...who didn't realize everything I did have in my life. ... And that about sums up my current state. (hollaaaa!)

8:32 pm	Among other things, I really want to go to south africa next summer for a little volunteer work. Also, graduation present to myself: Santorini, Greece I feel like I have spent a lot of unnecessary time doing a lot of nothing lately...I became so busy with school last semester all of my volunteering to anything worthwhile became nonexistent. Come August, it is time to get back in the swing of things. Aside from Friends for Life, I want to do a lot more with Invisible Children. Besides a couple of walks and donating some cash here and there, I really have not had the opportunity to do much with it. I think its increasing familiarity within the past year or so is going to make it a lot easier to get more hands on. I went apartment shopping today...I love all the dirty, discount stores so. fla. has to offer! In the process of finalizing my fall schedule..I have to admit a moment of sadness fell over me, when I realized that there are only so many classes left to take. As of right now: Public Relations Writing Event Planning and Management skills 1 more hospitality class Intro. to Greek Classics Alligator Internship (school credit!) Clubs: Friends for Life PRSSA Alpha Productions Gators for Obama Invisible Children I went from loving my job to hating it. My boyfriend is commiiinnnngg tomorrow yeaaaahhh<3 (hollaaaa!)

5:14 pm	The entire second season of Gilmore Girls is wardrobed through American Eagle... Rory and Lane are sporting all of my apparel from 2002 (!) I escaped to Gainesville for a short moment, to temporarily claim my sanity. My boyfriend bought me a sweet Batman ensamble... cape included. Had my first night at work last night, and really liked it. I made tips and I wasn't even supposed to. I need another haircut but everyone affordable screws it up except for Gay Miguel...and he is alll the way in Tampa. What a stupid update. stupid stupid stupid ...Learning lots of lessons all on my own this summer. (hollaaaa!)

1:52 pm	It is a safe assumption to assume that this world has gone down hill when every lady I have ever looked up to is no longer living. Two nights ago I watched a two-hour special on The Kennedy's (emphasis on Jackie) and last night I watched all of the tribute coverage on Princess Diana...none the less it has been a depressing couple of days. Watching such poise and such class, made me wonder what class really is, and how is seems so rare... and so difficult to achieve. This is what I learned: Class is not how many strands of pearls we are wearing or how many pairs of ballerina flats we have in our closets It is not how many times we refrain from using the F word but it is the quality we invest in the people we care about it is how we choose to contribute to what and who is around us it is messing up and realizing we are better off by apologizing or fixing our mistakes rather than not saying anything at all it is realizing how we are perceived and how are actions are taken and interpreted through others it is understanding how are selflessness and selfishness affects those around us it is liking ourselves enough to be independent and self efficient it is drawing attention to those who are worthy rather than drawing attention to ourselves for the sake of our own self interests ...it is much more than even this. Indeed there are far too many Marilyns and not enough Jackies. On a side note: Dinner with Abby Elise Arielle Zubkousky tonight<3 Current Mood: touched (hollaaaa!)

9:42 am	This summer has been the least-desirable it has been in a long while. But, without creating any expectations, I thin Fall is going to be CUHrazy fun, so I guess it evens out. (At least that's what I'm telling myself) I got a job as a hostess yesterday making 10 dollars an-hour, as many hours as I want, in a 30-second interview. I LOVE when my interviewers are Gator Alumni. I have grown such a strong dislike (I'm trying not to use the word "hatred") for my sister, It honestly saddens me that we are related. I currently attend BCC, where I have 7 days to write a 5-minute speech....jooookkkkkkeee. I joined this new gym by my house, and lost 3 pounds in the last 3 days....LOVE IT. I am spending every waking free-moment with my mother and I simply adore it. I went to a Marlins game with my dad tonight, because his boss gave him some sweet seats. It was fun hanging out with Pete, but it made me really homesick for a real ball game. My goal is to work and work out as much as possible, so I can hit up a lot of FUN vacations in the next few months, (with school permitting) MISS my boyfriend. <3 (4 home slices | hollaaaa!)

12:26 am	What makes absolutely no sense is that we go through these crap things in life that hurt us in only ways we will ever understand, and when we have nothing better to do, we simply think back on it, analyze it and insist on temporarily feeling the hurt all over again. How, at all, does that make any sense I do not know...and how am I so prone to doing that I will never understand. Weiiiiird. In other news I have recently learned that no matter how non-confrontational I try and make myself and my life my name will always be thrown around by someone. And, I'd like to be like everyone else, and act like a hard ass and say it doesn't bother me, except I'm not and it does. But it's fine, because at the end of the day I know I'm going places, and no one insignificant (or significant for that matter) will ever compromise that. I think I hate stupid girls more than anything. No, what I hate more than anything is stupid girls who think they're smart...that is just one big joke. Going home for 6 weeks, starting this weekend. Not stoked on attending BCC not stoked on anything about it, other than the fact that it is where I need to be for the time being, and knowing I'm doing my part makes it all a descent situation. ...so vague. My head is in a million and one places right now, and I think it is going to be for a little while. The pants in book 4 went missing in Greece... I think it is the end to my books. I wish I was taking off the next 6 weeks and going to Greece. God, Roseanne is so good, it scares me. Current Mood: groggy (4 home slices | hollaaaa!)

8:52 am	It is so hot in Gainesville I prefer to use public transportation with air condition, rather than my Beretta..who would've thought I am starting to pack up my apartment today. It is the end of one era and the beginning of another. Normally I am a little too sentimental. But,as much good came out of living their the past two years, I am ready to leave behind the bad and just start senior year f.r.e.s.h. I ran all the way from my apartment to main yesterday. yeaaah. I get paid from the Alligator today...a sweet pay check of 15 dollars. I believe the term would be "rolling in the dough?!?" Ethics at 9:15 a.m. would be so horribly dreadful if I didn't have two of my best friends sitting on each side of me....lucky lucky lucky P.S Haaappppy Mike is home<333 Current Mood: awake (hollaaaa!)

12:25 am	To explain my enthusiasm for the new Johnny Tsunami movie would be impossible. Not to mention that Teenwitch (all grown up) stars in it. ...if only Disney would start playing some old episodes of Bug Juice my life would be so complete (Oh, not to mention, this girl from UF used to be on Bug Juice and I see her ALL the time at Moe's and Burrito Brothers...I guess that means we're eating too many tacos) ..end.

11:04 am	my summer plans have changed a bit... but for the moment, I'm fine with that. Life has been completely unexpected as of lately, but it could be a lot worse. Not too stoked on spending an extended period of time in coral springs but I do plan on pretty much excluding myself from everyone besides my mom for the entirety of my stay, ...so it won't be too horrible. crappy people who have entered my life for one way or another are going to be no more. Strong. I have been working really hard toward that for the past year or so, and hearing that word coincide with my name for the first time ever, has really been incredibly, and utterly fulfilling. Gainesville got some good company this week,and I'm really looking forward to fall semester... Taking a HUGE college placement test today...than going down south for the weekend, for a relaxing couple of days of birthdays, and graduation par-TAYS. Mike and I went to Animal Kingdom last Sunday during Gay weekend. yeeaaaaahhhhh Current Mood: anxious (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

11:57 pm	Dear boyfriend, You are sleeping on my bed right now, in the midst of homework and papers, I cannot help but to stop and think about the recent events in my life, and how you have responded to them. I am not certain, at how I got to be so lucky...but I am positively certain, without a doubt... that you are one of the best things ever to grace my life. I can safely say that I do not know where and what I would be doing with my life, had you not been a part of it. you are not taken for granted<3 (hollaaaa!)

9:23 pm	I'm supposed to be writing my ethics paper. oh well i need a break. Memphis was good. I made a lot of money, and a met a couple of really awesome girls. Can't ask for much more than that. I HATE summer classes. I hate that everything is busier and longer and more crazy. But, I have to do it... so I'm sucking it up. I'm in love with my internship, (p.r= SO much fun!) but the fact that I'm not going to get paid for it until July, will have me at the mall at 11 a.m. tomorrow looking for yet another mindless retail job. I'm trying to get back into my workout schedule, but my intense homework routine is COMPLETELY interfering. more more more later. ugh stressed out about school and money is so HIGHLY overrated... but,,, STILL LOVING MIKE KEIM<3333 !!!! makes it all okay (hollaaaa!)

4:20 pm	I came to work with my dad this morning, because I had my internship training in Miami, and I'm currently stealing his computer while he tells people what to do. It is so akwardly silent in here, I feel weird even making a phone call. Internship training for ProFlower=HARD LABOR. BUT, I'm interningin Memphis for the week... they are renting me a car and I plan on going to Graceland by myself on Saturday (SO excited about that) ...not excited about overseeing flower assembly lines in 34 degree rooms for 13 hours a day. Oh well. I'm really excited for my internship at the Alligator to start in two weeks. It's going to be fun actually working in PR, planning events... even if the pay is crap. But I can't complain, most internships are not even paid. I have been home for 2 days, and I'm already homesick for Gainesville. My sister is a complete psycho, and with the exception of my parents my entire life is no longer in south florida. HANNAH MONTANA is moving into my apartment next week and it's going to be SO refreshing to actually have a roommate that I love<3 I got sun burnt at the beach yesterday, but I love it. Going to Burlington Coat Factory tonight to stock up on frigid weather-like clothes for proflowers. I had training for 6 hours today and managed to make $260 between my pay rate, travel time, and reinbursments. yeeaaaah. Current Mood: tired (1 home slice | hollaaaa!)

11:05 am	After driving hours along a road strait out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (only in Georgia) I am finally home...and it's finals week. ...and I want to shoot myself in the head. I climbed down a 3-mile high mountain and fell four times. Yeah, I don't know how to walk. I'm tired and I left my pillow and blanket in the hotel. No good. I really am into Atlanta all of a sudden. love it. I have sniffles, and it's disgusting (!) How attractive. I feel like this week is going to be one constant pain in the ass. I want summer to come, even though I am staying in town, I'm just ready for it. I want to see Bright Eyes. We just learned how to write eulogies in reporting, and it made me think what people would say or write about me if I died. weird... real life, grown-up interview today, take one. action. EDIT: As soon as I get some extra cash (which shouldn't be TOO far away) I'm ordering a FRIGAN PASSPORT. I want to leave the country more than ANYTHING, and I'm going to set up a little bank account and have my passport waiting for the first opporrtunity. I also miss my brother like crazy, and want to go to Boston while it's warm. Ashley and I get to buy new dresses this week. yeeaaahhh!!! Current Mood: weird (hollaaaa!)
