Settled In

So it's June now,
And all our summer school students
Moved in yesterday.

The halls are full
And they're all bright eyed
And bushy tailed.
It's good to have people here again.

At night
It gets all quiet...
Like the wind is whispering secrets
Only they're the ones
You were never supposed to hear.
And it feels lonely.
Very lonely.
But now it's populated
And pleasant.

Anyway, I'm totally settled in now
At least, I think I am.
I'm going home Saturday
For the Fish Festival...
Connie is going to come too
And we're going to eat fair food.
And not think about the residence halls
Or the desk
Or anything besides fun.

Have a nice evening!

An RA's Nightmare...

So today, I managed to put up 4 bulletin boards.
I got all my butcher block paper
From the Korb office,
And I moved a fridge and microwave to my room.
Right now I am cooking dinner

On top of this, I still have:
Room Condition Reports (RCRs) for 2 1/2 floors
Which means about 50-60 rooms
And Door decs
For the same number...

Back in my normal building, I have about 40 girls
And 20 rooms... One bulletin board
Maybe two, depending on whose turn it is
To do the middle board.

So this building
And this summer
May just be
A little taste
Of Hell.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Busy Bee...

I know I haven't posted much
I only had a few days off
Before I headed back to campus
For the summer RA job
Which has been crazy so far.

Right now, I'm home
For the last time in awhile, probably.
And I'm sitting here
Enjoying the ice cream cone Mommy made me
Which has strawberry in the bottom
Vanilla in the middle
And chocolate on top
Just like it used to when I was little.
We made apple pie too
Which is in the oven.
It's been a good weekend.

I got a new car.
A '99 Mercury Sable.
It's red, and it doesn't break down
And all the windows work
And it has air conditioning
And a radio...
Needless to say, it's a vast improvement on the last car...

Well, I have to be getting ready to head back to school...
Everyone have a lovely summer!

Finally...

Here are the pictures I said I would post forever ago...

Isn't he gorgeous?

Ugh... It Never Ends

Sorry, finally taking some time
To get back to my blog.
There were some slight delays...

Friday morning I had to go to the hospital.
No, I did not eat Chipotles...
I hate that place.

I have kidney stones...
The worst part of this currently
Is that I'm not allowed to drink any caffiene
Or carbonation
And I'm not really even supposed to drink sugar.

In the last five days, I'm fairly certain
That the amount of water that I've drunk
Would irrigate Death Valley.
I drank part of a Pepsi on Sunday night...
Not even half
And half a cup of coffee... if that
Because I had to drive home late.
And now I'm sipping at Cranberry-Grape juice...

Other than that... WATER
AND I'm in caffiene withdrawal...

On a happier sidenote, the baptism went well.
Little Thomas Joseph III is a member of his church.
Hope you all have a lovely week.

So It's Come to This...

I realized I haven't posted in a few weeks.
Anyway, here it goes.

The last few days have been absolutely gorgeous
Really, extraordinarily nice, pretty weather days
And Tabi and I have done a lot of walking because of it.
Today we walked to get our nails done.

Anyway, last weekend I finally got to see the baby.
He's gorgeous, in case you were wondering
And I think Celia looks beautiful as a mommy
Although she also looks very tired...
Thomas is being baptized this weekend...

This weekend is also Little Sibs,
And I have my cousin Kaitlyn coming up.
I'm hoping that she has fun...
I know I will, they're having a petting zoo!
I'm such a little kid...

For now, I have to get to bed.
I've got homework to finish tomorrow
Before I go pick her up...
And I have to get up for Pilates in the morning.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening.

Updates, Updates, Updates...

In case you were wondering,
Vagina Monologues was awesome.
I performed all my parts really well...
Even the ones I learned last minute...
Dani got me a flower
Because she is an awesome floor mate like that.

This weekend was nice...
I didn't get to see the baby
But I did spend a nice relaxing evening
At home
With my Mom...
Even though I was sick
It was okay
Because she brought me my pop
In a fancy glass
Like she used to when I was little
And I was sick.

I got the new Panic! At the Disco CD
And I really like it
Even though it's a different sound from the first...
They were on SNL last night...
So was Christopher Walken,
And I laughed a lot.

Here's hoping I stop being sick
This week!
