Almost time

Oh dear, school starts in a little over a week. I move in sunday. I cant believe this summer is finally coming to a close... damn, it feels like the longest summer I have ever had in the history of summers. And what did I even get done?
-I wrote about 16 pages for my novel. That sucks compared to the 50 pages I did last summer.
-I made a little over a thousand at work. Didn't do me too much good though cause I spent most of it already.
-I saw brian a few times. We took some chances and had some fun. All was good.
Hey... since the summer is almost over... that means it's almost time for the NIN CONCERT!!!!!! WOOHHHH *does a dance* theres something I can't wait for. Mmmm Trent.

So... school. I am going to be in the same area I was last year, which is good and nice. I am going to have at least 7 suitemates, which is annoying. There is one excellent thing though, it looks like I just might have a bedroom to myself. Originally a girl named Ana was scheduled to be my room mate, but she was just today moved to another bedroom in the same suite (a triple occupancy room that had only had two people scheduled for it). But does this mean Davis might assign some other girl to my bedroom at any point in time? YES IT DOES. I wish the delicious singleness was guaranteed, but it is a bedroom built for two. I could look at my housing assignment between now and sunday morning before leaving and someone's name could be there. OH GOD I HOPE NOT.

I know many of you have already started school and are probably wondering why the hell I haven't started yet. I have two words for you: Quarter System.

So I read Ender's Game today. Excellent book, jeez. Makes my novel look like horse shit. But thats just how writing is. Shitty first drafts, make it better later. That what I gotta keep on telling myself... yes...

Catch ya later folks, likely after I'm back up in Davis.

yeah it's been a while

Yeah, it's been like two weeks since my last entry. sorry, there's been lots going on, including but not limited to the following:
-Work. both working a lot and being worried when my schedule for the week is blank cause my job wasn't supposed to be over yet, but going there I found out the computers screwed up or something. this week is my last week, but thats fine since I have to move into the dorm in three weeks.
-Going to the zoo with my family and brian which was really fun but it was hard having to say goodbye to him, but thats just the way it is.
-The whole New Orelans disaster. We didn't know anyone who lived there but it was beyond upsetting for the whole family. it came to the point where I asked my mom if I could go there to help, but we ultimately agreed it would be a bad idea for me.
-Deciding on a whim my computer needs more hard drive space, so I have purchased this and brian is giving me a firewire case for it, wooh.
-Wanting desperately to not give up on my novel that I hadn't really worked on in weeks and writing five pages over the course of two days, which is the most I have written in such a time since last summer.

So that's been my past two weeks. I still like my hair, though I can already see the beginning of roots :0
Everyone stay safe and have a good week. My heart goes out to the New Orelaners.
