Wah.

I'm officially back at school. I'm having a bit of an off day, but I keep trying to remember what a friend said to me yesterday to try and cheer me up after some bad news. "Tomorrow, I'll raise a glass to mend the heart of my wrecked up friend."

Thank GOD for good friends and Lady Gaga.

So psyched!

I just am having a moment of gratitude for my life and how fortunate I am and I want everyone to know so I'm writing it down right here.

Last night I hung out with Mark, watching the Jersey Shore and the West Wing (two completely different shows) and talking on the phone with Katie, today I got lunch with Ben, hung out at the Boarding House with James and Tim, went to Dolci and they all fawned over me like I was a lost child coming home, came home to my mom and my mom's friend (hopefully will be boyfriend, he's awesome... I probably think that because he brought me baklava once, and anyone who brings me sweets is high on my list) cooking lobster dinner, I'm packing and I have so many clothes and shoes I'm overwhelmed but so thankful I went from nothing to all this and I bought most of them on my own, and now I'm trying to finish packing but I'm about to cry over how thankful I am for my life right now. Also, I got a very nice text from KWay! :D And so many good songs are coming up on my iPod on shuffle right now. And tonight I'm going to visit poor Sam who just had her wisdom teeth out, I think I'm hanging out with Ben again and possibly seeing Vinny, Dylan and James. :) Yayayayay!

Yay I love life. <3

S, Day 7.

How you came across tumblr and how your life has changed since joining.

I came across Tumblr because a girl I had met through Emmanuel kept cross posting her Tumblr posts to the Facebook newsfeed. I liked that idea, so I signed up, even though I only use it now as a blog to record the funny things my friends and I say.
Shit My Friends Say. <-- there.

Other than now having our ridiculous conversations immortalized for all the world to see, my life really hasn't changed since joining any blogging site. I prefer Facebook to blogs, honestly, and my Twitter is a much better record keeper of my daily life. I like to write, though, so blogging gives me an easy outlet for that, and I like getting feedback via comments.

Stephanie 30DC, Days 5 and 6.

Tell us about your three favorite colors (I don't think Katie and I could be more different).



Pink: I'm not sure why I love this so much, since it's so different than what I used to be into (read: dark, melodramatic colors). But no, anything pink I'm all over. And if it has sparkles... oh goodness. Don't even get me started. My dream is to drive a Barbie pink car before I get too old and it's gross.
Blue: I feel most alive when I'm swimming, especially in the ocean. The color of the ocean (at least of the North Atlantic), makes me really happy, and I have a mostly navy blue wardrobe.
It's really difficult for me to decide on another color, so I'm just going to go with bright colors. Again, this is difficult for me to explain, but I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the store and bought something because it's bright. I can't count how many times I've heard one of my friends say "You would" at the checkout line, due to the color of whatever it is I was buying.

Tell us about your favorite season, and why.

No competition. Summer is my favorite season.

I love everything about it, from lazy afternoons spent at the beach to late nights spent at work serving snobby tourists their overpriced Italian food. I love bonfires at Sandy Neck spent doing cartwheels down the beach and playing charades. I love all the bonfires we have in my backyard, and I'm excited to see how this summer is going to top the one we had over Thanksgiving break. I love wearing dresses without feeling like an idiot. I like the way my hair gets light and my skin gets dark. I like rolling down the windows of the Mustang and blasting obnoxious music on North Street.

I love summer, but I can't write about it anymore. It's making me depressed it's still four months away (though, only four months!).

K, Day 7!

How you came across tumblr and how your life has changed since joining.

Well, I came across it because a friend on facebook had one, I believe. So I decided that since I didn't update my livejournal often, I could do it in quotes and pictures. (This 30 day challenge was clearly meant for tumblr, but we have one anyway. I'll post it!) But I can't say I'm so invested in these online blogs that my life has changed. I still prefer my own diary to write in.

http://meraviglio.tumblr.com is my personal one.
http://we-r-ridic.tumblr.com is the one that is updated with stupid things Stephanie & my friends say. It's pretty hilarious to me, anyway.


On a side note, classes started today. I had a class called Health Assessment where we learn to basically just assess people. Take health histories, learn breath sounds, stuff like that. Class was 8 am- 10 am (too early!) and then lab from 12-2. It wasn't bad at all, and then Sarah, Vanessa, Katie & I went to the MFA because it's an atrocity that we live in Boston and don't go. We saw the new American wing and got hot chocolate in the cafe. My new favorite artist is John Singer Sargent, and his painting Rosina- Capri.
