Yeah, I figure I have had enough time to mull over my Texas trip and give a good *ie, not bouncing off the wall, hyperactive* post about everything.
First-> Jersey pride…Everyone knocks on Jersey about the smell...Jersey: the Garbage State. I think very few people have had the opportunity to drive in El Paso alongside Mexico. I pride myself in having spent time in several states, and I admit that Jersey does have its own brand of air. But sheesh, driving on I 10...that smell really takes the cake. It really takes the cake. So I don’t think anyone should say anything about Jersey until they have smelt that air straddling the US-Mexico border. With that taken care of, I should get on to more interesting topics.
The flight Wednesday evening was a little crazy. The weather wasn’t very helpful. Boarded the plane in Newark, pushed off from the gate, to only sit for 45 minutes before getting clearance to get off the ground to fly to Dallas. Thank goodness I stayed on the same plane for the connection to El Paso. I probably would not have made my connecting flight then. The first 3 hours were uneventful. On the leg from Dallas to El Paso, I made a friend- a lieutenant whose unit just moved from Ft. Bliss to Ft. Hood. It made the hour flight go by really quickly. I got the low down on El Paso and all of that jazz. Look at that, I made friends with someone in under an hour…I am amazed.
Got into El Paso at 10:30 ish at night. Yeah, that would be 12:30 eastern time. I had gotten up at 5:45 that day to get ready for work. I was running on fumes. Andrew picked me up at the airport, and we got some Sonic that really did a number on both of our stomachs. By the time we decided to hit the sack, it was very much after midnight. Such a long day.
Unfortunately, Andrew had to get up for PT and go to work Thursday. So I had Thursday to myself- spent some time in the morning heat outside, had a little breakfast, watched some World Cup Soccer, made lunch, read a book, watched the financial channel *I blame my father for the urge to watch financial news at any point in the day*. That evening, we headed out to the colonel’s home on post for what turned out to be a nice barbeque get-together. I met a whole bunch of people, whom I can’t possibly remember at the moment. It was a lot of fun. We left thinking we would catch a showing of Cars. Before the movie, I got a guided tour. When Andrew says it sucks out there...yeah, it really does. The tour tired both of us out, so we nixed the movie and went back to his apartment. We enjoyed the rest of the evening in.
Friday morning, we hit up the El Paso Zoo. It was fun. I managed to avoid getting sunburned, which was very happy. It was interesting to see how the animals dealt with the heat. We then hit up Andrew’s favorite restaurant for lunch, which was yummy. Spent the afternoon inside- and got ready for a little shindig later that evening. The party was fun- met another bunch of people. *Thank goodness Andrew didn’t try to quiz me on who was who...I would have failed miserably.* After the party, we stopped for some pizza and chilled out for the rest of the night.
Saturday was a somewhat sad day. We realized the time was no longer a friend. We met up for lunch with Andrew’s friend Atkins and his wife. Good conversation, some laughs, good food. Made a little pit-stop at the mall...then hit up the super-market for some supplies. I decided a while back that I would make dinner Saturday evening. After gathering up what I needed, I set to work. I made some homemade sauce and fried up some meatballs. Dinner was some yummy macaroni with meatballs. I packed up the leftovers- so Andrew has some yummy food for when he comes back from the field this week.
Sunday was rough, rough leaving. My flight got delayed for an extra hour, which gave us a bit of extra time. It was just really hard leaving. The entire trip just seemed to fall into place. I think those couple of days were some of the most fun, enjoyable, relaxing days for both of us. Everything just felt right- that is me speaking…although I’m pretty sure Andrew feels the same way. I don’t think I could have wished for a better beginning of a relationship. Now, we see where it takes us.
In other news- only a little while longer here at work. It feels surreal. Just keep getting more and more excited about it. Oh, my tomato plants all have tomatoes growing on them. I feel like a proud parent. Grow little tomatoes grow!! I can’t wait til they are ripe, and I can make fresh sauce or something like that. Ooo lala. Other than that, I am enjoying the warm weather, and some early leave times from work.
Catch ya on the flip side.
Paying for it
I am not going to lie. I feel like crap today. Must be the higher power deciding to punish me for the enjoyable weekend I had.
Friday was an exciting day. I made a trip to IKEA, which is now officially my favorite place for random gadgets and furniture. To be honest, I do now know why all of a sudden I actually enjoy looking at furniture. It has always been a chore. I suppose the upcoming freedom that has inspired me so. But while I was perusing the merchandise, I found so many things I wanted. I restrained myself and only picked up a futon. It was fun trying to see how it would fit in Happy Car. But it managed to work itself out.
I met up with everyone(Beck, Rusty, Cris *hurray*, Josh, Scott, Steve, James, and a couple of people I really should remember their names...but alack I do not) to celebrate Rusty’s birthday. Lots of fun, laughs, dancing, and drinking.
Umm, Saturday. Yeah I don’t think I did a thing on Saturday. I watched some movies and did some cleaning. Oh, I did my first picking from my herb plants. I got a lot of huge basil and massive quantities of parsley. They smell absolutely delicious.
Sunday was absolutely wonderful. I called up Athena to go to the Seafood Festival in Belmar. The day was perfect- 70ish blue skies…little puffy clouds here and there. We enjoyed the weather, the food, and the beach. I remembered to put sunscreen on my face, which is awesome. Yeah. I returned home only to have my arms look like lobster claws. Hurray, for them being bright red.
I suppose part of my feeling horrible is due to the sun exposure. But Sunday was too amazing to not be outside. Second, probable culprit is having three to many zeppoles yesterday. I can not get enough of that fried dough. I just feel my arteries waving little white surrender flags. I can only imagine the number of years I have decreased my life by eating those scrumptious treats. Thirdly, my long Monday schedule switched. I now start an hour later. Yes, to anyone else that would be amazing, not I. The extra hour has thoroughly wiped me out. In other words, I am a cranky cranky me. At this point I couldn’t give a flying rat’s behind if you need math help today. I am sunburned, working 12 hours, and really just feel totally uninspired to do one damn thing this week.
I am holding out that the rest of today will fly by, just for the students’ sakes. I just feel like I am getting more and more aggravated by the moment and I am not quite sure how to slow it down. I think tomorrow night I will hit up the St. Matt’s Carnival eat more zeppoles and anything else fried I can get my hands on. If anyone wants to join, I would love the company.
Desperately wishing for a nap or some other pleasant distraction.

Columbia: A First Look
This past week I took my first trip down to South Carolina. Twelve hours in the car with Dad was well- a wonderful oldies music sing-fest to be quite honest. We managed to find a couple decent rest stops on the way down that chop up the trip nicely. The regular Strasburg, VA stop (the one we stop at when seeing my bro in Blacksburg) and a second stop in Statesville, NC. So the driving was more like 4.5 hours, 4.5 hours, and another 2.5 hours. What is great is that it one doesn’t have to remember 18 different roads to get from here to there.
Once we got to Columbia, we hit up a restaurant called the Mellow Mushroom that my parents had tried when the stopped in SC a couple of weeks ago. Our waiter actually remembered my father from the previous trip. Food was very yummy. Good pizza joint, which I will need to remember to frequent, not to mention a nice selection of beer. We packed it in early because we were both exhausted.
We started the next day by hitting up the SC bookstore. Yeah, I like bookstores. My father loves bookstores. We got a full complement of head-ware. I got my much wanted Cocks hat. Yes, the hat has the word cocks on it. I am fully aware of that. Also for the giggles, I picked up a shirt that says- Cocky is my homeboy. Yeeaah, the mascot’s name is Cocky the Gamecock.
Apparently, the school was running freshman orientation that day as well. *One of the very many orientation sessions- they run them through the month of June.* You don’t know how tempted I was to just jump right in to one of the tours and feel like a freshie. But I restrained myself, plus I really didn’t have the time before looking at the first apartment.
First apartment- I have one word for it- Dumpy. It was not well kept at all. Yes they had washer/dryers in the units, but they were extremely tiny. By tiny, I mean tiny. I think it was smaller then half of the suite in Witwer sophomore year. Not to mention the fact that I had to pay utilities on top of the rent :oP. I think the only saving grace was the 10 minute walk to the Math building. And even that was bad, because it was almost a 45 degree steep hill to get there.
Second apartment = Great. I am will pay through the nose for it, but it really is great. Fifth floor. Utilities included. 200 square feet bigger than the first apartment I looked at. Parking space, pool, fitness center. There is even a little balcony- maybe I’ll keep a little garden out there. 5 minute walk to the Math Department. Across the street from the police department and the library.
The campus was beautiful. For having made a decision without actually seeing the place I was quite proud of myself. There is green everywhere. Trees, grass- shaded areas. While walking around you could just feel the history *okay maybe, it isn’t quite the right history* but history nonetheless. The buildings just had a character about them- like they had seen just about everything, warm and welcoming. I guess I had almost the same feeling as I used to walk around Dickinson’s campus. There is just a wealth of prior knowledge that you can feel in the campus.
I guess that is my little snapshot of Columbia. I think I will really like it there.
By the way it is really boring here at work. It is very dead. I hope that tomorrow things will be pick up with the start of the second session.
What else is going on- Beckie’s birthday is Wednesday. Hurray birthday!!! Try to hang out with Rusty and Cris- hurray for Cris being up from FL. This weekend is the big Seafood Festival in Belmar. I think I’ll be hitting that up, maybe get some of the gals from work in on the fun too. Maybe I’ll start packing for Texas :::wink-wink:::.

mid-week hump
Well the wedding…went well I suppose. Everyone looked fabulous. People were shocked at the high heels. My feet were shocked for the next few days. Hurt like the devil. Poor tootsies are not used to being in the position for so long. But I enjoyed myself- as much as one could when you are constantly asked- “So when is your big day going to be?” “Your time is coming up soon.” Thanks a lot for all the pressure. Just makes me want to stick a sharp object in my eye. Yeah, thanks.
Anyways I guess that is about it. Besides my saying…for the first time since I’ve been out of school, I actually feel like life is in motion. Like I am moving in a good direction. I am going next week to SC to look at a couple of apartments. A couple of really nice deals. Both within walking distance of the campus. I am very excited to go. I think I may email the grad director see if there is a chance I could stop in to take a look at the department, maybe meet a couple of professors or other grad students. Find out what the new *home* will be like. I’m so excited to have so much planning and to-do-ing to be done. Not to mention it’s hit me that really 2 months is all I have left. Two months- probably the biggest change of my life. And that doesn’t include the whole accent thing. I am pretty sure I’ll be kept quite busy for me to really have enough time to bask in the change. There is one thing I will miss though- the Puppy. To bad about the no pets rule.

Summer 1 Session, ALREADY?!?!?!
Yes, indeed. Today begins the 2006 Summer sessions at BCC. Boy am I excited! :::::sarcasm dripping everywhere:::::

My entire family has been laughing at me. Cause of the incident with the bird...but I've made things worse. Apparently, some animal attacked either a groundhog or mole nest. Mother is gone, and the babies have all scattered. Found one in the driveway near my rear wheels. Poor thing I think was injured by whatever raided the nest. It kept trying to curl up in a little ball. It is about the size of a quarter. I was what one would call distraught. I don't know what has incited this need to save the tiny animals. I moved the little guy to the side of the house under some foliage. I really hope with all the rain today the poor thing does not get drowned. Two deaths would bother me terribly. I'm actually waiting on the third. Weird stuff like this always comes in threes for me.
The bachelorette party was so much fun. I've missed hanging with the cousins. Less then a week until the wedding. Have the purty dress all hung out to try to get the wrinkles out of it. I need to get used to the high heels. *High heels* I will still be shorter than everyone else, but god at least I can say I tried. Not to happy about the seating arrangements<-always stuck with old people at the table. :o( In any event, it will be quite a production.
In other news, some decisions have been made. Like 2 trips to Columbia- beginning of June and beginning of July. One trip to Disney World in July. A trip to Texas in the middle of June. I figure in the next couple of years I won't have the funds to make such fun trips, might as well get them in now.
The anticipation is building. Catch ya later.

Stuff..
You Are 87% New Jersey!
Wow, you're totally Jersey. There's no doubt about it. Congratulations, and always be proud to be Jersey--it's a great thing to be!
How New Jersey Are You?
Yeah. Today I came back from a trip to Home Depot and Kohl's. Picked up some stuff for my tomatos, and went...oh lala to get some makeup for the upcoming cousin's wedding next week. But when I pulled into the driveway and opened my car door, i saw a tiny baby bluebird lieing on the driveway. it made me soo sad. The poor thing was just losing the baby fluff. You could start to see the growth of some beautiful new blue feathers. I couldn't figure out how it could have made it to the driveway. Poor poor thing.
I managed the extra grad schools situation. Still going to South Carolina. Going to make a couple of trips out there in the next two months.
Bachelorette party tomorrow. That is about all the excitement I have for you.
You people are lucky effin' ducks
I need to get this energy out. This is absolutely wrong. This should not be happening. I think I've dropped the f-bomb and any of it's derivatives continuously for the past hour and a half. Think opening sequence of Office Space...yeah me in the car...that's how I've been.
Today I received an email from NC State. Yeah NC effin' State. My admission decision was ready. Oh it's May 4th...it must just be my rejection letter. What do I find-> ACCEPTED. No money, no assistantship. Accepted on May freakin' 4th. What the hell is the matter with you people?!?!!?
Wait. It gets better. OOOOOO so much better. After work I get an email from a professor at...of all places...Virginia Tech. Yes, V effin' T. Oh, we were wondering...although you may have made other plans...are you still interested in Virginia Tech for graduate school??? WTF!!!!!!! Excuse me, you wait until May freakin' 4th to ask me if I was interested in your school. I freakin' drove 7 hours to come to your Visitor's Day. No, I wasn't interested at all. :oP
God damn it all to hell. I thought I was only supposed to be confused during the time period of say...March 15 to April 15. Not f____in' May 4th. I guess I'm the best of the bottom of the barrel.
Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ-> it's all your fault.

Kona's birthday
First, let me start off by saying I love watching House. How could you not??!? Especially when stuff like this gets said->
Cuddy: With the police officer’s death, we are at Biohazard level 3.
House: Oh call Jack Bauer!
Anyway, on to the somewhat real update. *Forgive me Giesey, if you check this out, if you don’t want anyone else to know…but I can’t not talk about it.* I suppose the major happening is the fact that I’m totally oblivious to everything around me. Maybe not oblivious…that is probably the wrong word, more like me being unmindful of what has been going on. Even Suzy has been trying to convince me of it for while, a long while to be exact. Maybe I knew…and just wasn’t recognizing it, although I have no idea why I would do that.
WTF is she talking about?? The big deal is the mutual enjoyment of our company, Giesey and myself. Brilliant. It has all come out due to my own ignorant needling. So therein lies the difficult things. I shouldn’t call it difficult. Frustrating is the best word. The timing just…makes everything absolutely nuts. We both have our hands tied. Army, graduate school. Texas, New Jersey/ South Carolina. Even my wonderful brain is having trouble wrapping around this little brick wall. Suppose I need to try harder, or we just need to leave things in their current state, which isn’t a bad thing…don’t get me wrong.
Yeah, I’m not quite sure what else to write. Just that is my news. Guess I’ll check in later.

Happy May?!?
Wow...holy....macaroni.
Yeah...did the entire month of April just pass me right by?? Apparently it has.
I'm here trying to while away the last half hour of work for the evening. I really need to bring more enticing books to read. But that is besides the point. I guess I have some updates...although I think I want to properly write them out, or else it will just come out weird. How about I just keep you all on the edge of your seats...yes that sounds like a wonderful idea.
I have managed to make it an entire 6 days by myself in my house. Only another 7 to go. I have not yet hit the wall wondering about food, so I am quite proud of myself. Yesterday, I made a tray of baked ziti. Great...that will last me forever if I really want it too. Although I won't lie (italian and all)...I can really only do ziti like 2 times a week...not more than 3. I have other wonderful meal ideas in store as well- turkey...steak...chicken...maybe a meal out!??! So many possibilities.
My puppy has been quite depressed through all of this. I guess he really is that attached to my parents. Sometimes he wanders around the house...like..."Where the hell are they?" "They really didn't leave me with this crazy person, did they?!?!?!" "What do you mean 4 in the morning isn't the best time to wake up?"
Wednesday is my last class ever at BCC. Giving the final exam, which is great. Means I have nothing to think aobut or prepare. Hurray!!!
By the way...does anyone have a riveting reads for me? I am in such a bad spot...I'm actually reading a book on...personal finance...and one of the many physics texts i had to buy but in typical college fashion never used. If not I suppose I could always go do my obligatory read through of the Harry Potter books again, see if I can tie everything together. (Spring/Summer 2007- Order of the Pheonix movie...and Book 7 slated to be out!!!) And please something that is long that will keep me occupied for a while.
I swear sometime this week...I will actually update update, not that some of you don't already know what I could quite possibly write about.
Yeah...did the entire month of April just pass me right by?? Apparently it has.

My puppy has been quite depressed through all of this. I guess he really is that attached to my parents. Sometimes he wanders around the house...like..."Where the hell are they?" "They really didn't leave me with this crazy person, did they?!?!?!" "What do you mean 4 in the morning isn't the best time to wake up?"
Wednesday is my last class ever at BCC. Giving the final exam, which is great. Means I have nothing to think aobut or prepare. Hurray!!!
By the way...does anyone have a riveting reads for me? I am in such a bad spot...I'm actually reading a book on...personal finance...and one of the many physics texts i had to buy but in typical college fashion never used. If not I suppose I could always go do my obligatory read through of the Harry Potter books again, see if I can tie everything together. (Spring/Summer 2007- Order of the Pheonix movie...and Book 7 slated to be out!!!) And please something that is long that will keep me occupied for a while.
I swear sometime this week...I will actually update update, not that some of you don't already know what I could quite possibly write about.
Teacher
Yeah, I got my scores back from the praxis exam. For those of you who don't know...it's the standardized exam that one needs to pass in order to send you on your way to teacher certification. I passed with super flying colors. To pass in NJ you need to get a 137 out of 200. Ms. Resa got a 175. Take that. Puts me in the top 15% of all previous test takers. ETS was even nice enough to send me a certificate of my achievement. Damn....now if only I had gotten such a good score on my math subject test. Oh well. At least I have something to fall back on if grad school stinks to high heaven.
umm anyways...so yeah.
Stuff coming up. i only have 3 more lectures left for the semester...and 1 exam. Next couple of weekends I'll be on my own here. maybe I'll go out and get lots of beer and then have a contest to see how much of it I can drink, by myself.
Anyways...avoiding work, like it is the plague. Catch ya later.
