Chinese Food

Already making new friends and classes haven't even started yet! Her name is Liz, and she's a high school friend of Kara's so it wasn't hard to become chums. She's coming over in a little bit, and we're ordering Chinese food! It's about time I get something in my system. I haven't eaten all day, but not by choice! We have a free day in the Leadership Retreat, and they aren't providing food for us. I wish I had known that...I would've been more diligent about stealing some food from home. A poptart would be really awesome right now. I'll just have to be patient with the arrival of Liz and the Chinese food...I hope she ordered the food already! 

Summer Ending

Well, I plan to once again block Farmville. I don't know why I ever thought that game to be fun. I sign in earlier today, and someone has sent me a "mystery gift" or whatever they call them now....and I just felt so drained. Thinking about all the cows, horses, etc that I would have to harvest...maybe it's because it was a smaller version before it stopped being fun, so it wasn't as stressful. Farmville isn't the only thing that is ending. Summer is coming to an end as well. I'm in the process of packing right now, and right after this is posted, it's going to be put into my blue side backpack. Or shoulder backpack. I haven't eaten all day, and I just heard Mom is going for a walk with the dog...that's my cue to get a bite to eat. I'm supposed to be going to college tomorrow...I'll let you know if it works out.

Farmville

I have been trying to find ways to relax, and for a while, it was playing Bejeweled. After a while, though, I would see the little red boxes and little yellow diamonds floating across my eyes, especially when I was trying to sleep. So today I said to myself, "No, I cannot play this game. It's bad for my sleeping needs." And so I unblocked Farmville. And it actually is really relaxing to harvest everything and plant things. I also played this other game called Huntersville or something like that by following a link, and it actually requires more than one person. And I hate to send game links to random people, and I exited that one pretty quick. NO MORE BEJEWELED!

Grownups

I wasn't going to say "I'm sorry, I haven't written in the longest" and stop all over again! Once I get back on the horse, I have to at least trot for a little while before doing a back flip off the animal. I was just in the middle of watching Grownups, with the handsome, talented Adam Sandler. I couldn't help noticing his wife is the most glam and his kids are the cutest. Haha. But I probably would have done the same thing. All of them are at least a little successful and all of them are happy. It's a typical Adam Sandler feel-good movie. Though, I have to point out I like, "Just Go With It," a little more with the added bonus of Jennifer Aniston. :)

Figuring Things Out

I know, I know I haven't written in the longest. I've just been trying to figure things out when it comes to school and financial aid and housing and making sure I have everything. My mind has been a little too crowded to think about my lovely creation. Translation: my epic blog right here. I hope things get fixed soon so I'll be able to write more frequently. Being 19 is harder than I thought.

New Seventeen!

I got my Seventeen in the mail today! And it has my favorite Pretty Little Liar on the cover, Ashley Benson! I flipped through it a little and I'm really excited about the flare dresses trend, which I anticipated...plus, I have clothes shopping planned for Friday. Hopefully I can convince Rachel for us to start before six, though it may be against her wishes because she's borrowing Tim's car. I hate when her car breaks down on her. Oh, well, I still get to shop!

List

Tomorrow I'm going to focus on finally organizing my room so it stays that way and making a list of things I need to buy for school. Plus, a clothing list for when I go to Marshalls! <3

Glasses

I really wish the August Cosmo came in the library/someone didn't check it out, because I really wanted some Fashion feedback before picking out a new pair of glasses. Plus, I'm going back to school shopping, hopefully next week, and all I know I want is Indigo flare jeans, a blazer, professional skirts, accessories, and a winter coat.

Webmaster?

I found this article from Seventeen's website while browsing Twitter, and I thought it was pretty cool. Thought I'd post it here.

Potential Major(s): Computer Science, Graphic Design, Information Technology, Journalism
What to Do: Be fluent in the following: Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Content Management System (CMS), HTML, JavaScript. You must also acquire a working knowledge of PhotoShop, InDesign, and other Adobe platforms. (Video editing capabilities are huge plus as well.) There are free trials available online and a majority of colleges with these majors should have these programs readily available, so be sure you can practice with them. You can also take on a few pro bono assignments to help out a non-profit or budding entrepeneur—they probably don’t have the budget to hire someone and you can get material for your portfolio, a win-win!

Pretty sure I wouldn't be great at this because I'm so bad with computers, but if I was I think it would be really cool. 

Percy Jackson

It's amazing watching a movie with a bunch of kids. Actors falling all over the place or funny noises I know are staged actually makes these kids laugh. I thought it was cute.

Lunch Date...

...With my aunt and uncle. They live in Florida, and they come up to Connecticut for the summer a lot to visit family. Plus, they get to escape the Florida heat. I'd rather have a lunch date with them rather than the dumb boy who keeps texting me.

70424....70424....

I just spent about 10 minutes putting my Southern ID number onto all the documents I have to resend to Financial Aid. Ridiculous. At this rate, I might not even be able to return. And that's a scary thought.
