i won a free month of unlimited tanning from my tanning place!
work is crazy. i feel like it took over my life for a few weeks. i was closing like every night and then opening on weekends. ugh. but now that school has started back up i'm only working 3 days a week....and i don't work again until saturday! woo! hopefully my next paycheck will be nice since i worked so much the last 2 weeks. i can use it to buy some birthday presents from me to me! hahaha.
speaking of birthday....i've been 21 for one whole week! and you better believe i've been getting drunk almost every night. hehe. kevin, steve, and brent took me out on my actual birthday...so much fun! we did lots of fun drinks like jager bombs and they made me drink gross shots. i'm going out with girls/sorority sisters this thursday. call me if you want to come! (lauren vw - this means you!)
lately a lot of really little things have been making me realize just how good my life really is. such as how amazing kevin is to me, how lucky i am to not have financial worries, being in my major, how i finally get a crazy purse (!). i'm really happy lately.
another thing i've realized is that all of my friends, family, and my kev are the best ever and everyone else would be jealous if they only knew how good (and pretty!) you all were.

i made an appointment to get my hair cut on thursday. finally. my hair is soooo long and crazy lately. it needs some shape and a trim very badly.
i started running again with kev. i've been trying to stay active and eat well the past week. lots of asparagus, sushi, salmon, and chicken. no fries all week, and i just turned down french toast from my mom - can you believe that?

after some careful consideration, i've decided to run for a position within the sorority. at first i didn't really want to because i wanted to study abroad this coming year and you're not really supposed to take on an important position of you're going to be gone for a quarter. but after becoming increasingly frustrated with the incompetency of the organizational skills of some our exec members at the house, i think i would have to slap myself every morning that i wake up if i don't run and let other equally stupid people run for positions they don't deserve. i'm not saying there aren't other people in our house who are capable of doing a great job...i just don't think we have the right people doing the right things. i do love audrey though! i don't know what i want to run for at all yet. mostly because...i just want to make sure i run for something (something important of course!) that i know i will win and then take it from there.
but back to studying abroad. since no regular programs really stood out to me, and i'm not exactly keen on the idea of giving up time from my major now that i will finally be starting it after taking forever and a day to PICK it...i found a muuuuch better solution! UW exploration seminars! here are the two that seriously melted my heart:
1. the galapagos islands. where do i even begin with this one! the galapagos islands aren't exactly a place you just GO to. when i would i EVER get to go there on my own!? BEST PART: we live on fucking research SAILBOAT. if you haven't talked to me recently, i'll tell you a secret: i've recently become obsessed with sailboats. and if you didn't know me that well in middle school/beginning of high school i'll tell you another secret: i used to dream of being a marine biologist and doing research on a ship but decided i ultimately didn't want to devote SO MUCH of my life to it (when would i have time for having and raising babies! i would have to marry another researcher unless i wanted to spend months away from my husband etc. etc.) i will get to fulfill my childhood dream!
2. mombasa, kenya. i want to go to africa so badly!
http://www.artsci.washington.edu/exploration/10.asp
that basically says it all. it sounds nothing short of amazing to me.
these are both perfect in and of themselves...but are made ESPECIALLY perfect by the fact that
a. they don't require me to take any devotion of time away from my major during the next 2 years.
and
b. i will not be indulging my materialistic side and shopping like mad and spending an inordinate amount of money on crazy things (such as a chanel logo or hermes logo belt) instead of learning and studying.
i'm so excited for school this year.

i got the job at restoration hardware! i had the interview yesterday and they called me last night to tell me i got it. i get paid $8.00/hr.
this makes me excited on three counts:
first, my little brother has started applying for jobs. it would have just been pathetic if he got a job before i did...seeing as i am 4 years older than he is.
second, this is my first job, and it's at a CUTE place!
third, the manager that interviewed me mentioned that they need someone to do the visual design of the store and set up displays and stuff and i said i would be interested in that so they are going to let me ease into that! doing window and store displays would be so fun!
is it wrong that i want to go shopping for pretty new work clothes? hahahaha.

went out to lunch today with kristi, laura, maddy and stephanie for steph's birthday. we were stuck in traffic for a while because there was a gay pride parade in seattle today and a bunch of roads were closed. we went to cutter's and the supervisor there sometimes supervises the restaurant steph works at so he sent free appetizers and dessert to our table since it was her birthday, he was really sweet. steph had a $50 gift certificate with her so we each only had to pay $10 for all that food(!). woo.
it was sooooo hot and sunny and beautiful and wonderful outside today.
i'm really glad i took a long weekend at home and had a little break from frat life. i'm prepared to face non-stop partying and dirty boy life again. haha.
i'm so excited for living with kev while he house sits!

i had a dream last night that i was having an affair with my english TA, who is married. it was kind of strange but fun at the same time. i was almost disappointed when i woke up. but only almost. i think i need more excitement in my life. i sound like an old lady.
i went shopping with my mom today and bought more shit for the room at ATO: more clothes bins, trash can, shoe rack, cups, straws. i am moving it all in tomorrow!!

i want to take a class during A term this summer. right now i am considering the following:
1. american history since 1940 - i will eventually need one US history class (doesn't necessarily have to be this one) for my major. it sounds like a lot of reading...yes i know history is a lot of reading in general but it will be summer! according to the professor's description it will be 300 pages of reading a week. do i really want to do that over the summer? or later?
2. literary modernism - looks easy and fun, the instructor wrote a course outline and readings include t.s eliot, woolf, kafka, and others. also....i read mrs. dalloway last quarter and i've read lots of things by kafka so i feel like this class will be very good at bringing up my GPA.
3. early modern literature - the instructor hasn't posted an outline yet but the UW description says "Experiments in fiction and poetry. Novels by Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence, and others; poetry by Eliot and Yeats and others." basically sounds a lot like the other english class.
any opinions?
also, i am sort of considering living in at ATO (a frat) over the summer so i won't have to commute to class. my dad said he's cool with it. i just need to talk to kev about it.

i feel like i'm losing my mind.
1. remember how i said my philosophy book somehow disappeared from my room at the sorority? well, right after that i found a u-bookstore bag in our room that had a box of tampons and some socks in it. i assumed it was my roommates, but then she asked if it was mine. neither of us use the brand of tampons that are in that bag, so its not like we could have just forgotten we put them in there. which means someone, for one reason or another, left it in our room. did this mystery person accidentally take MY u-bookstore with my phil. book in it by mistake and just never bring it back? who knows.
2. i spent the night at kevin's last night. we had chapter yesterday, which we have to dress up for, so i wore my black pants. this morning i come home and find my pants laying just outside my closet with what looks like paint splattered all over the back of the right leg. it's also splattered on one of my shoes. after looking at it closer, i realize it's liquid foundation and wipe it off my shoe with make-up remover. my roommates foundation was laying sideways on the ground next to my pants, and the lid was on the other side of the room on the floor by her dresser. i figured she must have accidentally knocked it over and stepped on it or something, causing it to splatter out on my pants. when i she got back to the room i showed her what happened and she said she had no idea how that could have happened because she doesn't even use that foundation because it's too dark for her, she had just bought it because she is tanning and knows she will be darker soon. i know that is true because she is always going tanning, and i saw her bring home the new foundation like 4 days ago.
ALSO like 2 weeks ago i was talking about how i never leave my cereal in the kitchen because people eat it all, and she said she knows people use her dressing because one of her pet peeves is when people don't screw the lid tightly on things - and she always finds her dressing with lid put on loosely. this makes me think that there is no way the lid on her foundation was on loose enough to just randomly come off.
so how and why the hell is there foundation all over my pants?
did anyone actually read all of those words?

the past week of my life (pretty much only the frustrating things):
over the weekend i somehow managed to lose a $10 bill from my wallet....even though i didn't purchase anything, and the only places i went were maggie's house and my parents house.
my roommate and i are not supposed to put anything heavy on our desk, so we STILL can't finish moving in completely. the desk is one of those kinds that is attached to the wall, and they had to remove it because the radiator (which is under the desk...) needs to be fixed. when we moved in for spring quarter, there was a note on the desk explaining what happened, and that the radiator would be fixed by march 28th. the next day at chapter we are informed that the radiators (apparently others in the house are broken as well) will be fixed by friday. it is now monday and it hasn't been fixed. i tried talking to the house manager about it but i couldn't find her, and then i tried to talk to our president mimi but she was locked in her room with katia and didn't want to talk to anyone.
i dropped my philosophy class and switched into online environmental studies last week, so i was going to exchange my phil book for the science one, and also return an optional book i bought for my communication class. well...tonight i tried to find the books so i could return/exchange them tomorrow, and my philosophy book is nowhere to be found. i looked all over the room and in my closet and through all my stuff. i even looked through most of my roommates stuff. the book has never left this room, so i have no idea what the fuck happened to it, or why i can't find it.
i also had to appeal a fine for a book that i RETURNED to the library on time, but is now somehow "lost." i find out if i have to pay the fine at the end of june because the appeals board doesn't meet until then.

i'm waiting at the sorority for kevin to pick me up. we're going to dinner at the cheesecake factory. i finished moving all my shit in today. i'm pretty sure i brought more clothes than i will wear. but you know. if i didn't bring them i'd probably trick myself into thinking i really wanted to wear them because "that would have gone so well with this outfit!" etc.
i decided i'm going to try and look cute at least MOST of spring quarter. this is for 2 reasons:
1. i've pretty much been a slob as far as clothes and hair are concerned since freshman year of college (no worries - i'm still clean. i shower every day).
2. i have so much shit to wear. and i like most of it. so i should wear it.
kev is here!

i just listened to a bunch of angels and airwaves songs and they all sound like the same fucking song. the same very shitty song. not that i necessarily expected more from a band that was created by tom delonge, but he hyped it up so much and made himself sound like such an asshole, saying things like "this band is going to change the world" "no one has ever heard anything like this" etc.
also, the small piece of my heart that held a place for old blink-182 was curious to see what his new band sounded like. unfortunately my curiosity would have been better left unanswered.
fucking musicians.
my mommy is taking me shopping downtown tomorrow!! here are some things i want very badly but know i am not likely to get:
1. 
2. 
or 3.
