There will probably be fewer blogs for a while, as the lethargy of summer creeps into my soul as well as my internet connection...

My craving for a night out with the friends was realized (quite unexpectedly) when a seemingly routine Lamar Orchestra concert turned awesome. It was the end of the year concert, and I decided to go, first b/c my sister was playing in it, and second b/c elissa's bro Lawrence was graduating this year. And when I got there, I walked across the street to Baskin Robbins and got a mint chocolate chip shake for old time's sake, and when I get back, who do I run into except elissa, who was still supposed to be in Austin? I had prepared myself for a long summer lacking in friends, so it was awesome to see her, and even cooler when rachel and ellen showed up too! we sat together to watch the concert and it was almost like old times...not entirely, b/c i think we were way louder back in the day. Afterwards, a big group of us (elissa, rachel, ellen, kate phillips, lawrence, and lawrence's gf stephanie)went to 59 diner, and were finally just as loud as we always were, definitely in the realm of bothering other people there.



Anyways, things haven't quite turned out as I planned summer-wise (do they ever, after all?) and I am resigned to a summer of driving in and out of Galveston. However, I am not entirely opposed to it, it will be interesting to do something new, and it will perhaps lead to at least one fun evening with Aaron eating on the Strand or something, maybe.



Let's see, on the agenda: the long-awaited bra shopping with Rachel sometime soon, and...Micheal Taksa's party this Saturday. Also, looking forward to seeing Aaron again on Monday night.



P.S. Got a new cell phone...or rather, for those of you who know me and my lack of a cell phone well, just "Got a cell phone." For how can it be a new cell phone if there was barely ever an old cell phone? Hope that was understandable...it's a very subtle point. (that's not sarcasm though it might seem it)

Anyways, it's cool, it's from Virgin Mobile, which is the company with all the cool commercials.

My new number, much as Bonnie's secret word for free shipping, will be bestowed upon only those that are deemed worthy. So, ask and you shall receive.

Recent favorite thing to do: walk to 7-eleven to buy huge slushies with Aaron.

The last time this happened, the checkout guy was like, "Are you going to get her slushie?" to Aaron, and when Aaron said no (b/c I was going to pay for myself) the guy was like, "Be a man! buy her a slushie." Aaron just laughed and was like, "eh...no..." but the checkout guy added it to his bill anyway--lol. modern chivalry.



I've been craving a night out with Elissa and Rachel and the gang but alas, it is not to be. Everyone's busy with finals, going home, jobs, and boyfriends.



Tonight, as the last night in Austin, Aaron and I went dumpster diving in the Empire, Clown Dog and Ozone dumpsters looking for deserted bike parts. Packing now, and tomorrow, moving out extra early. Then maybe a nap at Aaron's before driving home...



Hopefully I get a job at an animal hospital this summer, and then next semester, no more organic, no more bio, just physics, english, and history...yay.



anyways, last blog as a sophomore. over and out.

I am so tired of study and so physically deprived of movement that going up the four flights of stairs to my room felt sooo good.

Organic final tomorrow, and then the next day, Cell Bio. As of now, having a panic attack.

Current Status: feeling distension of the stomach and other strange discomforts...



Currently strapping on the converses and unlocking my bike to head over to the UGL to watch a movie I've already seen once, torturously, but that I must write a paper on.



This last week I was insanely happy, like, hyperactively, jumping around, general feeling of well-being happy.

Now, not so much, a little stressed about finals, end of the year, etc. Also, (and I think this is the main reason) I'm always hungry, and then after I eat, I feel grossly full. So that's probably the main reason the general feeling of well being has been lost, at least for today.



Next summer, the schedule looks good, just physics and physics lab to worry about, b/c my other classes are: a shakespeare class (which would suck b/c unlike every other english major out there, i don't find anything special about shakespeare's plays, the only reason i can see for thinking them special is that they are in a diff. language than plays nowadays...where was I? oh yeah, it doesn't suck though, b/c it seems like a pretty laid back class.) I's also taking 20th century short story, with the wife of my current Australian Lit. prof., which promises to be interesting. Also, a history class with Aaron (which just happened to coincide...) Yeah I wonder how that will be.



In any case, over and out, a boring movie is calling me away.
