D-Day

its tomorrow
can you believe it?
i can't
its only beginning to sink in
holy cannoli its time!!!!!!
even just yesterday the shear magnitude of what i'm about to do didn't seem to be coming so fast
my mind is a blur--i don't know what to think
should i be excited or sad or nervous or scared or anxious????
not sure at this point
i know for reals that i am going to miss everybody
photography is quickly becoming my outlet for stress, anxiety and the like, so i might go take some pictures in a minute
the transition from new york life to mountains is probably going to be the worst part
but i think that once im situated everything will be smooth sailing from there on out
i really need to go pack now
this might be the last you'll hear from me on this blog for a while--maybe until like wednesday or thursday but im not making any promises
enjoy life
stay tuned
until next time.

the last day of my junior year at this school
wow

it came so fast
<-- this is my history class on our last day :(
i must have given out at least 85 hugs today
im having mixed feelings although right now im kinda sad
next tuesday i fly out and i will probably be extremely thoroughly anxious
and wednesday (D-day/ the start of my new life/ i arrive) i will most likely be so excited i will hardly be able to sit still
i miss everybody already
today was like one big party at school- i honestly did not learn a thing
it was SO fun though
legitimately BEST DAY EVER--like non-stop smiling
my jaws actually hurt from it
no joke

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everybody!! I'd say this Christmas was pretty good, not as much snow as I would have liked but in 26 days I'll be getting all the snow I want and then some, so I'm not too bummed. This year I got a webcam (awesome!) which I am pleased to say works excellently!! And a new camera!! Yayy!! I also got a cashmere sweater, and some books. Very nicee. I definitely ate too much this Christmas. I feel like, in the past 24 hours, I have had nothing at all healthy to eat. Just cookies and cake, etc. I'm going up to Vermont in a couples days, Saturday or Sunday. Should be good. I heard they got a lot of snow the other day and hopefully it'll snow some more in the meantime. My brother is going up to Michigan on Saturday so I should have a very relaxing vacation in Vermont. I'm excited. I have so much history homework though; ughhhh. Alrightyyy.. bye!!! Happy Holidays!

30 Days

There are 30 days until I leave for Colorado. That's only one month!! Honestly I'm starting to get a little scared, just to be leaving basically my whole life behind, but I'm more happy/excited. I'm excited for the abundance of snow out there, even though there's snow here, but its probably better out there. And also the mountains and the gorgeous scenery should be good. I'm slightly worried about the cold, but I think I'll manage. Today is Carl's birthday!!!! YAY!! Carl is my dog and today he is one year old!!!!! This is him--to the left.
I'm going to tell you a story now. Last night, there was an incredibly bogus train ride from Grand Central to Larchmont. It all started off fine and normal, just your average, everyday train ride. The train left Grand Central at 8:40. We didn't get to Larchmont until 10!!! It was actually really ridiculous; apparently there were major electrical problems that caused us to be stuck in Pelham for about an hour or so. Then there was this guy on the loudspeakers on the train that kept saying these things, and nobody was really sure what he was saying and at some points we weren't even sure if he was speaking English...that part was kinda funny, but after he stopped talking it got boring. Finally we had to switch trains because ours was dead and then we got home allright. Very exciting....I'm going to go read a book.

awesomeness

I'm counting tonight as the first official snow of the season aka AWESOME. Hopefully it sticks but who knows? At any rate, I am extremely happy!!! I just watched the movie Old School on TV, it was completely ridiculous as usual but worth many good laughs as only the kick ass combo of Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson can bring. Now Wedding Crashers is on, another classic. Also on TV, on abc family its Harry Potter Weekend!!!! They're showing sneak peeks of the next movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, in theaters July 17 slash 10 days after I turn 17!!!! WOOOT. Today is Saturday December 6th and tomorrow is December 7th and Mrs. Jacobs is officially due to have her baby!!! So she could literally have him/her any second now!! YAY!! Today was a good day. I went into NYC with a few friends of mine, we visited the Tales of Beedle the Bard at some library and then visited this little holiday fair thing. It was good; the entire city seemed so crowded though, I guess thats just what happens in a big city on Saturday before an extremely major holiday. Tomorrow is homework day, blehhhh, and then school Monday. I have a math test thats split in half for Monday and Tuesday, which really means that just in case I don't bomb it on Monday, not to fear, there's always Tuesday. Fun. This weekend was WAY too short...suckks. I seriously needed to do some Christmas shopping but hopefully I'll find time tomorrow. 40 some odd days until I leave for Colorado; so psyched!!!!! The words CAN NOT WAIT don't even describe it. Track meet Wednesday at the Armory--should be a blast [not]. I'm beginning to feel the reals stresses of junior year and let me tell you, the words fuck my life (fml) have taken on a whole new meaning.
