I just got home from work less than a half hour ago and Im supposed to be writing this paper. It was originally due Monday, but the whole working non-stop during Spring break thing made me loose track of time, and I found myself thinking Sunday night "oh shit, I have class tomorrow"  Considering I wasnt really feeling well on Sunday at all I said fuck this paper. So I slept in  and just skipped that class. I havent missed one class since the one day I stayed home when I had strept throat and a sinus infection, so I know it wont really make a differance in my grade. I got an A- for mymidterm in that class so Im not going to beat myself up over slacking off this one time.

So as soon as I got home I popped one of my brothers Adderalls and here I am, just waiting for it to kick in. I probably wont sleep for the next 24+ hours but its the only way I'll buckle down and do this. For some reason I really really really dont want to write this paper. Its not long, its not hard Im just not up for it.

Yesterday Max and I went to the mall after class which was alot of fun, because belive it or not, in all the time that Max and I have been friends weve never gone to the mall together.

I finished reading "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk last night, and I have to admit, I wasnt really impressed. It was a fun read becasue hes a great writer, but the story was less than entertaining. I want to see the movie though, see how that is. Next Im going to re-read "Into the wild" by John Krakauer. I read it a few years ago for my English 200 class, but for some reason I want to revisit it. After that Im going to FINALLY finish reading "Prozac nation", the book I have started 3 seperate times now, but never finished. After that I have to choose the next book on my long list, and its not going to be easy. Im thinking either "Fight club", or "A clockwork orange". Maybe I'll take votes.

This entry was pointless, Im going to write this paper now.

Today Im getting my hair cut and stef is coming too and getting her brows did.

Monday we went to Cold Spring and it was awesome. We went to a bunch of antique shops and played with seagulls. We drove though poughkeepsie on the way back and went to the new christmas tree shoppe which was kind of a dissappointment. We had dinner at Neko, since niether of us had been there in a while.

Ive been on Sprng break all this week and have been doing a whole lot of nothing. Im working and then there was Cold spring, but thats about it. I have off from work today and tomorrow and I dont know what Im going to do with myself.

I wish I had a million dollars, that would be nice.

I havent updated in a LONG time. Ive been pretty busy and honestly I kind of forgot about livejournal for a while.

So here s a quick update on my life:
-Mike and I are no longer together (as facebook may have told you) It was alot of little things, but to make a very long and complicated story short, it just needs to be put on hold for a while. Were still friends, we talk on the phone at least once a week and message alot through facebook. I havent seen him in about 2 weeks. Im not really sure what to think of it all, but time will tell.

- Still working at Starbucks. Im a shift supervisor now. Its alot of fun and I love everyone i work with. Hours are getting a bit crunched because of this wonderful economy were in, but at least I still have a job.

-I started going to DCC again, but just part time. I cant really work as much as I need to and go to school full time so for right now Im just taking things slow. Im taking Adolescent psych and Sociology of religion on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other than that I work almost every day.

-Ive recently become very into buddhism. Ive been reading tons of books on it. I feel that this is a good time in my life to figure out exactly who I am and what I believe, I dont go as far as to say that Im a 'buddhist' just yet, but I do practice buddhism and meditation on a daily basis. Once I become alittle more knowledgeable on it all, then I'll decide what to call myself. What I do know for sure though, is that Ive never felt more alive.

Well thats pretty much the general stuff thats going on. I want to really try to update more, like I used to. We'll see what happens. Also my photo journal has become horribly neglected...Im going to have to do something about that.

Im still alive if anyone is wondering.haha

I havent had much free time for the past few months so I dont really go online anymore, and if I do its to upload photos on Facebook.

Im still at Starbucks and in about two weeks Im going to start my training to be a shift supervisor, Im super happy about it. All Ive been doing laitly is working and spending any free days off with Mike.  I registered for 2 spring classes at Dutchess last week, and Im alittle anxious to go back. I took this past semester off to work and save money so I havent taken a class there since the summer course I took in May/June. When I stopped by the other day it felt so weird. It felt very familiar but very different.  Im taking Adolescent psych. and Sociology of religion on Mondays and Wednesdays. Mike is going those days too so at least he'll be around to hang out with and complain about things with.

Mikes birthday was the 3rd and we just basically had a low key night. We went out for an early dinner at our favorite sushi place, Osaka and it was great. We bought some beer and such and just had a fun time. About a week before that we went to Vermont for the day which was alot of fun.

Yesterday I went shopping for the first time in a while. I got some nice shirts and sweaters and picked out a new pea coat that I'll be getting for Christmas. I met up with Brian who I haddent seen in months and we walked around best buy for an hour trying to make up our minds on what cds to buy. Then we went to taco bell. It was nice, I enjoyed shopping by myself (before I met up with Brian) and being able to take my time looking.

So basically not too much is going on these days, Ive had a few good outings with Mike and hung out with friends when I could. Other than that things are pretty steady. Im currently on day 6 out of a 9 days in a row work week, so I'll be there tonight. I guess thats all there is to tell at this point, hopefully I'll have more time soon to just relax.

Remember me?

Its been forever since I updated this. Ive been working at Starbucks for about 2 months now and its going great. Its an amazing place to work. Good people, free drinks, free food, full benifits and awesomely large tips.....could I ask for more?  Ive been working like a dog though......6 days a week. This week is the first week that Ive had more than one day off.

Today I went to lunch with Stef. We went to this Sushi place in Brewster which was cool and the food was good. We got some ice cream after too.

Tomorrow Im going to Mikes house, and later that night were going to the drive in. Im sleeping over and were spening Thursday together too. He has to work for a few hours so Im going to go out to Kingston with him and shop or something while hes working. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Mike is also working at a Starbucks now too, hes at the one in the city of Kingston.  Its pretty cool that we work for the same company, we can talk about stuff to do with work and actually have an idea what the person is talking about.

Now for some random updateness:
-Sam Adams Pale Ale is my new fav beer.

-Im really over due for a hair cut

-My next tattoo is in the works. Im not going to say what its going to be yet though. I like suprises.

-Michael bought me a new pair of super comfy cloggs, just because he loves me...thats really what he said.


Im going to finish eating this hard-boiled egg Im eating.....than Im going to watch the new Office dvd we got....season 5 is the new one? I dont even know.


Oh, one totally unrelated thing before I go......I dont like that the musical group "the pussycat dolls" have like 17 members, yet only one of them actually sings.  Just thought Id share that opinion.
