Working 9-5! Well, I will be starting on Tuesday. I'm kind of excited, how lame. It's mainly for the money, but having something to do will be nice.
Lent my car to my brother for a bit, cause his is out of commission, so now I have no excuse not to ride my bike.
Florida in a week, which will be nice. It's a 15 hours drive, hopefully we can survive that.

That's about it.

I've tried to eliminate the many hours I waste watching bad television, and so far it's been going quite well. I like to watch House, Bones, and Grey's Anatomy. Occasionally I'll watch some TV late at night, when I cannot sleep, because apparently going to bed before 3am is never going to happen. I don't know why though. I get up for class around 8am or so, go to class form 9-11am, then come home and eat lunch, and just hang out. I try not to nap, because I know it ruins my sleep pattern. I have a Netflix subscription thing now, so give me movie suggestions, anything! I just got done watching the Savages, and it really made me sad. I don't want to grow up, and I certainly do not want my parents to age, they should just stay their same age and their same health, I would really like that. I'm reading a lot more too, since I have so much free time. I finished Maus I and Maus II last week, they were so good. It was such a different take on a story we have all heard (it's a graphic novel about a son telling his dad's story of the Holocaust). I'm reading City of Thieves now. The ladies at the bookstore highly recommended it, and so did my friend, so I am pretty excited about it. It's a humerous novel about the Holocaust, and from what I've gathered, it's loosely based on the author's grandparents' story. I have a large pile of books to read after that, so I should be set for a month or so. I'll get some suggestions later.
I finally found a job for the summer. I'm just going to be working over at school, as pretty much a secretary, misc. job for the Residence Life staff. It'll be 9am-5pm, M-F, so it'll take up a lot of time and earn me some money. There's also quite a few people staying in town for the summer, which I am so greatful for! It gives me plenty of people to potentially hang out with. Also, I think I may go see the Decemberists in August, I should check on those tickets...
Also, this summer will be amazing for movies! Finally, Harry Potter is coming out (um, more than 6 months after it was supposed to come out), the second Transformers movie is coming out, Public Enemies, Julie & Julia, Where the Wild Things Are (!!! the trailer totally hooked me, Arcade Fire! Dave Eggers! it's perfect), and plenty more! I also heard they were making a movie out of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, anyone else read that book as a child? I loved it. All the weather was food! The fog was split pea soup, giant pancakes covered the elementary school! It was a wonderful book.
I'm trying to start jogging too, a friend wanted me too, but it's been raining so much though! It's such a detterent. It's apparently supposed to get sunnier on Tuesday, so I'll try and start running some more. I want to go home and read all of my old journals, I want to laugh at how mundane and entertaining my life was. I want to learn from myself.
