It's official

I'm a loser. My paperwork came in and everything.

Last night I sat at home and re-read almost the entire 6th Harry Potter. I was almost 1/3 of the way through when I started yesterday. And even though I knew what was coming by the end of the book I was in tears. After that I watched some TV and went to bed early.

Sometimes I feel like I need to pick up a new hobby. Something that will get me out of my house and out in the world meeting new people! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the friends I have here in SD but sometimes I miss being able to just pick up the phone and have something to do and someone to hang out with at all times! I feel like as a grow older calling someone and trying to convince them to have hot cocoa with me at Denny's at midnight is no longer acceptable.

This of course, just depresses me even more. The further into the "grown up world" I adventure, the more I want to turn around and run back to my childhood. Arg.

I've been really homesick lately. I seriously just want to take a few days off and go home. I miss everything about it. But I know when I do it won't be what I want it to. I won't be able to call my friends and drive around Dub-town and doing well...pretty much nothing. There will be no late night Denny's, no trashy bar visits (oh Evie's), no "car tag", none of what I truly want. It's depressing to know that the opportunities for us all to be together are further and further away from reality. As we all grow up and get jobs, these opportunities are going to be few and far between.

::sigh:: life.

I'm going to NY for Thanksgiving. I'm very excited. I wish Jenny would come to. I'll mention it to her.

I don't like growing up. The worst part- I couldn't sleep past 8:15 this morning. Grrr...

It was totally worth it!

First I would like to say, yes- I am up and blogging at 4am. I know, I should be in bed because I have to be up and getting ready for work in like...two hours. But my schedule got all thrown off because...

I went to the Harry Potter 12:01 showing! AH! It was great and totally worth the wack sleeping schedule. I think they actually did an acceptable job interpreting the book. Obvsiously it is not going to be perfect, because if it was the movie would be at least four hours long. They actually covered all of the important plot points and the movie made sense. I thought it was well done. I cried, which was to be expected.

So today, I dragged around work on three hours of sleep (arg) and don't remember most of the day because I was in a state of delerium the whole time. When I got home I decided I would take a nap (from 5-6:30) before my WW meeting. Well...I woke up at 12:30. ARG. And now I'm not tired...and I know I will pay for this at work in the morning, well in four hours.

Things are actually picking up at work. Orientation starts on Saturday which means TONS of new students and current students in and out of the office. I'm actually really excited for it. But I'm not excited to work on Saturday. BOO. But I am excited to go to Souplantation with coworkers after orientation is over. YAY!

I'm still looking for a new place to live. And I'm still debating whether I actually want to move. I will keep you updated.

So yeah, my life is normal- ho-hum. Nothing new to report.

Sun = Evil

I hate the sun. Even with sunscreen I seem to always get burned! Today I was only in the sun for about an hour, with sunscreen on and my shoulders are burnt. I just don't understand.

Today was good. Jennifer and Steve are down visiting and we went to Padre's game. It was a great game, very entertaining. And the Padre's won! After the game we wandered downtown for a while, which seemed to make me even more tired. I'm now sitting at home watching tv while MJ sleeps on my couch. We came back thinking that the rest of the group would be home shortly and we could play some games. But now, I have no idea when they will be back. I expected them almost an hour ago.

Meh- no big deal. I actually cleaned my apartment a little in the last few days. I actually used my carpet cleaner to get out a few stains in the carpet in my bathroom/bedroom area. I have decided that in the next week I can going to work on going through all of the boxes in my closet. I really need to go through my things and decide how to pack. I also have finally decided that I am going to put in my thirty days notice on Monday after work. I should be in a new place by August 10th. Hopefully it all goes well!

I would also like to say how upset I am that Rodeo is moving out of San Diego! I don't get to see her very often, but it has been so great knowing that she is here and always willing to help me and listen. I know that she has been struggling recently and that moving to Texas is a great new opportunity for her, but I'm very upset about it. So, in the next few weeks we have planned a variety of fun and exciting activities to celebrate SD and see her off!

Moving! (possibly)

I have been thinking about moving a lot more recently. I had been pretty much set for looking for a place on my own in a new (more afordable) area of San Diego. I have been searching with no success for some time now. My apartment is way too expensive for me now and to be honest, I'm just ready for a change.

I was speaking with some co-workers about my situation and to Dani who all suggested I look for a roommate. Which, I had adamently refused for two years. But I really need to start saving some money on rent. My student loan payments are going to start up in a few months (October or November I think) and I am going to need money to pay them! And I figure if I could save two or three hundred dollars a month a rent, that would REALLY HELP! So, I searched a few roommate website with no success. Really...nothing good. Mostly students.

But, as sketchy as it seems, Dani found a really great roommate on craigslist. No really, I met her today and she seems really cool. So I began searching. I've been in email communication with a girl who is moving back to SD (she did her undergrad at UCSD) for grad school and we seem to get along and be looking for similar things in an apartment. I've compiled a list of five places I want to see in the next week. So hopefully things will really come together.

I think I can manage sharing a place with someone, as long as I have my own bedroom and bathroom. Which all five of these places I would!

So, wish me luck on my new adventure!

On a side note, Dani and I went to the Farmer's Market today. It was a BLAST! OMG seriously so much great stuff! I bought some strawberries and some grapefruits and Dani and I bought some corn on the cob to grill on Wednesday. Yum!

Surely you must be kidding

I had a dream about Harry Potter last night.

Is that weird?
