I can't really seem to get anything right lately. At what point can I pull myself up and stop being a lazy, broke, fat slob?
I hate when things are my fault. Unfortunately, they always are.

Beth keeps saying "SPACE NEIGHBOORS" over and over again.
I'm not sure what she means.
She wants them to come to the Earth. I wonder if it's a long distance call.

I'm changing my major to english. If I'm going to get an imaginary degree from a school I fucking hate, it mind as well be one that permits be to hang around in my bathrobe, masturbate, and read books all day.
My advisor is furious.
The only ostensible career ambitions I have involve me marrying an old, rich white man.

School is driving me up a fucking wall. I can't take another semester in this place.
If I knew what I know now my senior year of high school, I would have avoided higher education all together. Or, at the very least, gone to UMASS Boston/Amhearst.
I'm halfway through college with two majors I downright loathe. How did I get here?

TRUE:
Why, yes! I AM wearing little boy's long underwear!
FALSE:
I'm NOT eating frosting out of the can.
Gluttony and sloth aside, things are unmanageably busy. I have unprecedented amounts of homework, (essentially) no job, and am nearly out of money and food. I'm really hungry, but the only morsels of delicious food (that is not mac & cheese, pasta, or cous cous) is either frosting, a bag of almonds, or cereal. I opted for frosting.
I still have two pages of a three page Spanish literary analysis due in about five hours. . . On a book I haven't read yet. Wish me luck.

2:52 pm - Killing our children, killing ourselves
|
My goals for this Thanksgiving break are as follows:
1.) Play with my cat, Scrummy, for as long as humanly possible.
2.) Extort money and gifts from my family.
3.) Play with Jake!
4.) Get drunk and go to Wendy's for a spicy chicken sangie.
5.) Get drunk in Pat's room.
6.) Also: Drunksgiving Bonfire.....Maybe...
7.) Attend an unreasonably large gathering at Siam Cuisine.
8.) See EVERYONE.
9.) Have the first eggnog latte of the season with my mother.
10.) Wash my sheets and all of my clothes.
11.) Sleep naked EVERY NIGHT!
12.) Hang out in my bathrobe at every possible opportunity.
13.) Buy weeks worth of groceries with my parents' money. (!)
That's a lot of fun and delicious things that I need to accomplish. I believe my stomach and my liver are up for the challenge.

6:30 pm - Fambly Colony: Day Three
|
After three long days of struggling to steal the internet from our neighbors, Jen informed me that she picks up four bars in her room. And, once I tapped into that network, I can still get four bars in my room. Thank you, "Dro", for allowing me to reconnect with the world.
I'm currently perched comfortably on my new, plush, full-sized bed. Though my room is still in disarray, it's slowly beginning to take shape. Jon's hooked up the 63" DLPProjectionHDFuture TV, allowing us to finally use the living room. At long last, 91 Hillside feels like OUR apartment.
I'm relishing the opportunity to feather the nest. I love buying groceries, building cheap furniture, and showering without shoes. It only recently hit me that I'm finally BACK. I'm safe, happy, and in my element. This is what I've so eagerly anticipated for four long and grueling months.
I have a home!

2:43 am - A little jumpstart
|
I've never been a girl with any inclination towards the 'domestic arts'. Yet all of the sudden I am overcome by the desire to nest. I can't wait to move into our place on the Hill and "play house". There's so much to be done, but I think the move-in process will be more therapeutic than laborious.
I suppose this new urge to paint walls, make curtains, and shop for pots and pans stems from my complete lack of permanence over the past year or so. I think I'm a person who, to some degree, thrives off of change. However, the constant switching of gears that I'm forced for perform during breaks sort of takes a toll on my psyche. I have two distinctly different lives, and it's difficult to tear myself away from one and throw myself wholeheartedly into the other.
It's exhilarating (but startling) to think that this is my last full break, and probably the last time I'll live at 21 Satucket Avenue for any extended period of time. My Christmas break will be consumed almost entirely by my family vacation in Florida and my service trip to Nicaragua, which leaves little time for reunions with friends on the South Shore. If all goes well, I'll hopefully be gone for Spring and Summer breaks in 2008 as well.
Although I don't have the slightest inkling what I want to do with the rest of my life, I can't help but feel that my life is more in order now than it ever has been.

I want my eager sense of fascination and intellectual curiousity back. Nothing is surprising or worth my time anymore.
If this is what "growing up" feels like, then I'd rather start regressing in age.

Tenative Schedule for next Semester:
(* indicates a class at Simmons. The rest are Emmanuel.)
Monday:
LANG 2413-Spanish Conversation and Composition I: 10:00-10:50
BIOL113-01-General Biology: 12:30-1:20*
Tuesday:
HIST 2122-History of Colonial Latin America: 1:40-2:55
Wednesday:
LANG 2413-Spanish Conversation and Composition: 10:00-10:50
BIOL113-01-General Biology: 12:30-1:20*
HONOR 3103-Honors Coloquium III: 6:00 PM-8:00 PM (Every other week)
IDS 228-Service Learning in Nicaragua: 8:30 PM-9:30 PM (!!!!!!!!! Holy shit!)*
Thursday:
HIST 2122-History of Colonial Latin America: 1:40-2:55
Friday:
LANG 2413-Spanish Conversation and Composition I: 10:00-10:50
My schedule works out pretty well for someone who is commuting from the Hill. Half of my courses are at Simmons and the other half are at Emmanuel. God bless Colleges of the Fenway. Without their partnership I would never be able to get into a general biology course. I will graduate in four years, damnit!
What I'm really excited for is IDS 228. It's a service learning class as the title implies, which entails me learning about the socio-economic situation in Nicaragua for eight weeks. After I become well-aquianted with the burgeoning culture and economy of the nation, we go as a class to homestay in Nicaragua for twenty days in January. After playing e-mail tag with Prof. Gullette I was unsure of whether there was room in the class for me. However we met face-to-face today and discussed the situation, and he seems pretty enthusiastic about sneaking me in. My ESL skill is apparently an asset (What skill?!), as the program involves promoting literacy in both English and Spanish for adults and children.
I'll know for sure soon. Simmons study abroad office is going to contact me as soon as they finalize a schedule of fees. I'm fairly sure I can afford it. Wish me luck?
I obviously can sense a unifying theme in all the classes I take (Latin American History, Spanish, Service Learning in Nicaragua), but what the FUCK am I going to do with a Latin American studies major? Prof. Gullette had some great ideas. Perhaps I should look to him for counsel?

12:18 am - It's hot in the poor places tonight
|
I am completely anamored with the backwards, drunken college community that is Boston. Admittedly, Emmanuel can be frustrating and soul-crushing at times, but it's worth all the trouble.
I love that almost anywhere I want to be is a walk away. Even long journeys to Cambridge seem brief. If I could, I would never operate or own a motor vehicle again. (But that's obviously not practical, as the chances of me being able to afford the cost of living here post-graduation are fairly slim)
( Here comes the sun! )
Warm weather infuses me with all this naive hope and happiness again. Suddenly it doesn't matter that college costs tens of thousands of dollars per year, nor does it matter that I am motivationless, directionless, and without talent. It's going to be 80 degrees tomorrow, which means I'm going to lay on the quad, read books, and accumulate even more freckles. I can contemplate the ramifications of my actions and decisions later.

After much deliberation I have limited my career options to either:
Becoming a mermaid
OR
Traveling the world as a sassy flight attendant
That is, of course, pending the loss of my slutty librarian gig.
