My life is conducted in weekends.

Last weekend was amazing. For once in my life I thought I was acting my age (blessing or curse: I've always acted as though I were a middle aged mom, you know, protecting everyone but me).
Last weekend was:
"Running into Emma Watson?" SWEET.
"Concert in the middle of a city I have no idea how to drive in?" SURE.
"Dance party at Brown til one in the morning?" NO PROBLEM.
It truly was a liberating feeling and I had a great time.

This week wasn't anything like last weekend, though I did see Paranormal Activity 2 (in IMAX... I love this city) and it scared me a lot. My friend and I left the cinema and we could only say "What WAS that?" It was way better than the first, in my opinion.

I also got all nearly all my work done through Tuesday. This weekend is Halloween weekend, and while I don't know exactly what I'm doing, I know it won't involve studying.

I wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween!

Katie gets a life, if only for a weekend.

This past weekend was more fun that I've had in such a long time.
Stephanie, Samantha, and I went up to Providence for the day. We met up with a friend who gave us a tour of Brown- and we ran into Emma Watson! My life is complete!- and later that night, we had our 3oh!3 concert, which was really good. One of the opening bands was called Down With Webster which I actually really liked, even if the songs are a teeny bit cheesy. I figured I can support them by giving $6 on iTunes to buy their cd, so I did. But anyway, after the concert we went back to Brown and had a really fun time, and came back Sunday morning.
And since then it's been back to school and back to exams. It's only Tuesday and I've already had a music exam and a nursing quiz. And a lab practical is tomorrow on the lymphatic, respiratory, and digestive systems. I'm just still stuck in weekend mode, and this homework is not getting done!

This weekend is Halloween obviously, and I get to finally wear my Gaga costume, so I'm excited. That's something to get me through these next few days!

Awhile ago, Katie told me that I could get more creative than a winking face. So I've been on the lookout for some inspiration, and it came to me in the form of a Tegan and Sara song called City Girl.

The lyrics go, 'I got so city girl on you/I got so crazy I don't know what to do'.

So I decided to test it out and see how we end up liking it!

3oh!3 tomorrow! :D

Every day I see my dream.

I've been listening to Yes by LMFAO a lot lately and I truly love it. Aside from my obvious love of songs I can dance to, it's like... every day I do see my dream, cheesy as that sounds. And okay, I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately trying to figure out exactly what my dream is, and I've basically decided that my dream is to be happy. Wherever I end and with whoever it is, I want to be happy with it. I always said that the difference between me and a lot of people is that success isn't what will bring me happiness... happiness will bring me success.

Eeeeeugh. Did I just write that?

OKAY MOVING ON. Today was a very good day. I woke up late, yet somehow managed to get to class early and not feeling as though I looked like crap. I gave my presentation in Philosophy of Law and I got an 83. Then I had College Algebra and I was bored practically to tears, but mainly because I understood everything perfectly, which is a rarity for me in math. We'll see how that goes when I take a quiz on it on Wednesday, though. And then I took an exam in Theory of Adulthood and got an 86. Overall, not a bad day academic-wise!

My class was cancelled on Friday, so I'm going home Thursday night. It's my best friend's last weekend on the Cape before he moves away for the winter! I'm so excited for him to get off-Cape, it's SUCH a liberating feeling to be over that bridge. Of course I'm going to miss his guts like crazy, but I can't wait to trade stories with him on Sandy Neck next spring.

But on Saturday (!!!!!) my two best girlfriends and I are heading to Providence. And for once it isn't for the mall. Nah, we're going to visit a friend of mine at Brown and then we're going to the 3oh!3 concert at Lupo's. I CAN'T WAIT.

S: So many good songs are coming up on shuffle right now.

I'm waiting for my roommate to come back and she's going to help me do my hair and makeup for my cousin's wedding today. I'm excited, but she's wicked excited. She's never been to a wedding before and has decided to live vicariously through me.

Clubbing last night. Oh my, what an experience. I had a ton of fun and I would do it again, because now I know what to expect. I honestly can't explain my time there, but it was fun. I think next time I go I'll have even more fun, since nothing will be a surprise. :)

Edit: Just thought it might be nice to document that the word of the night last night was 'interesting'.

Katie gets out for a night!

I haven't had such a good time in in such a long time. Last night, Vanessa, Stephanie, Theresa & I went to Rise. It's this dance club off of Arlington- on Fridays it's for college students. Well, until 1 am, then that's when the sketchy old men come and the drug deals go down. So we leave before then. But still, it was just so good to go out and dance, you know? Forget all the sweaty people around you and your feet hurting and having to pee but the line for the bathroom is too long and the fact that you're dehydrated because you refuse to pay $4 for a bottle of Poland Springs. It. Was. So. Much. Fun.
I wish we got some pictures while we were there- it was crazy.
Ah I just can't get over it. I'm always cooped up in here because of all my work. And granted, I still have work to do, but it was just time to get out.

Aaaand even though my head is pounding, I have to go get ready. My family is coming up with my sister's fiance, and I'm supposed to play tour guide. Even if it means getting out of bed early, it means free lunch not from Bartol!

And I'm also very excited for 3Oh!3 next weekend- that'll have to get me through the anatomy exam & case study this week. All of my classes sort of cycle together, so when I have one major exam, eleven more are bound to follow...

LOL FML.

Okay so I just, just, just finished my Psychodynamic Theory Of Personality (applied to relationships) midterm essay due tomorrow, and now I'm taking some much needed de-stress time to eat my strawberry ice cream and blog a little bit.

I very easily could start spilling my guts about college and all this other emotional, pent up crap that I have stewing away in my brain, but I'm not going to do that. For one thing, it would be long and embarrassing, and for another, it would make me sad which would just make me want to shop and spend money that I simply can't be spending right about now. Not if I want to go to Italy in May...

Which I will be, with the lovely Katie! Ah I'm so excited for it, but more details to come later, since we have a good few months to go before we can pack our bags...

We went for a walk today down to the rose garden and past the MFA, which was nice. I have a seriously bad sinus headache and am simply full of complaints right about now.

Want to see my to-do list? I know you do!
1. Study for my Theory of Personality Midterm.
2. Take down notes for the case presentation I have to do Monday for Philosophy of Law.
3. Bullet point and organize notes for Theory of Adulthood and Aging for the exam Monday.
4. Figure out what the heck is going on in math.
5. BUY. BLACK. TIGHTS.

Oh so in other news:

(Ignore that overtired chick holding my concert tickets)

We're going to see (don't laugh) 3oh!3 in Providence next week! I can't wait, it's going to be such an adventure. :) Because I hate driving in the city and we have to find our way not only to the venue, which Katie and I have been to before and if I remember correctly it was a pain to get to, but to Brown University to visit a friend. I hope Katie and Sam are as ready as I am to get lost a million times...!

Edited, the next day: I don't know why people think the end of the hall is a good place to have a private conversation. I can hear every word. :(

Stephanie's tired, what a surprise.

This weekend was a very, very good one. I came home for the long weekend and spent it with my oldest friends. :)

Although this week is going to suck. It's midterms already, but I only have one official exam; the rest of my tests are technically papers. I was looking over my notes for Theory of Personality earlier and I truthfully don't remember even writing any of this stuff, never mind what it all means.

Cool.

But this coming weekend is my cousin's wedding, which will be fun! I only get to see this part of my family once a year, so it'll be a good time.

:) Life is good!

Katie is overtired and slightly delusional.

So in a moment of weakness, I'm going to ask myself what the hell I am doing.

I typed out something long and embarrassing, but it didn't quite make sense. So there's no sense in answering that open and highly irrelevant question anyway.

Um Katie's updating more than me??

Sorry I've been MIA lately, but after I took that horrific math test (which I got an 86% on, thank you very much!) I was feeling sick so I went home to recuperate over a long weekend. And at home I really didn't have much to update on. This weekend is another long one (an official this time, though!) which I'm very excited about.

Hm let's see, what else has been going on...? Not much.

My apologies for the bad update, but here have a picture.



Edit: Oh, oh, oh! I got a Halloween costume for a pre-Halloween party this weekend. I left it at home, so I can only guess now what it looks like. Something like

this. If not that exact thing. And my roommate is loaning me her boots that look like the ones in the picture. This costume was on sale, thank you very much!

I'm so ready to crawl into bed as it is now 10:28 at night. If only the people in the hall would hush.
