Sabres Game: THURSDAY 7:30pm
Its game SEVEN!! to see who goes to the Stanley Cup
I already got to celebrate a Super Bowl win and I'm looking forward to a Stanley Cup win too!! yay!
It's definitely different being back in Buffalo. Without a car or a bedroom of my own. I don't know why people live with their parents. Mine seem to live to tell me what to do. I miss Jackie!! It's so different-- like yesterday i was in the middle of an On Demand Movie when the sabres game started and i HAD to switch rooms because my dad can only watch the game on the television i was using. not a big deal but any one of my peers would have just watched it somewhere else so not to bother me... its just little things like that
and its so weird that i just cant walk across the street to pick up lunch. i have to make it myself :/. i cant walk anywhere useful- well to WEGMANS (which is much better than geagle)
remind me to get an internship somewhere (boston?/pittsburgh?) next summer.

Now i wish i had less stuff. i have yet to see all of my friends from buffalo who ive missed!!! btw i need relay race forms and to go to RIT tomorrow ;).

02:01 pm - NH5
On Friday a good number of people from our floor went and had dinner. We managed to pile eight people into evans car- luckly it was a short drive. After tip the bill was $430.. wow! Afterwards again a good portion of the floor went to Sig Ep to keep celebrating the end of the year. I ended up telling everyone who would listen how much i already missed jackie. i also missed nate, wanted to watch good will hunting, wanted to spoon with jackie, needed to pack, couldn't find my jacket, and talked to lisa on the phone till about 4 in the morning.
I'm gunna miss Pittsburgh like crazy but I'll be glad to be home where everything is calm. I'm gunna make it to all my sis basketball games and all my bro's baseball games. I'm gunna tan everyday and read the DaVinci Code before the movie comes out. Until camp starts at the end of june im gunna take it easy and love it!

10:42 pm - Schools almost over
Jackie and I were looking back at the year and decided that we've both changed so much. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the year to be over... although right now I wish I were at home watching tv on the couch instead of studying for my anaylsis test. I think I really appreciate being at home now that being at home means no school work. 36 hours from now I will be in Erie PA watching my sister play bball.
I'm kinda nervous about the Analysis test. I figured it was my least stressful test (since its the only subject i most definitely can not get an A in) but I feel like I'm supposed to do extrodinarily well now that i'm accepted into math studies. Definitely need a smaller load next semester (as opposed to 54.5 units-- is that how many i have??) so i can focus on my studies.
ok 12 more minutes of studying then Sex And The City and Law And Order

03:06 pm - Ds
the DS show seemed to go well both nights!! I had so much fun- thanks to everyone for going! My choreographers are wonderful and everyone i danced with is too <3
last night jackie hung around as a i packed up and we headed back towards the dorms. i stopped to attempt to convince jonah and brian to go to the afterparty and grabbed some dinner with brian. i met up with victoria and seena from my salsa number and stopped to get laura on the way to the after party.
at the after party victoria and i asked if we could dance on the bar... and it was ok!! wow that was so much fun. we had cheryl and stan and kelly and soo many others up on the bar- what a great time. so many people from ds were there and kap sig too hahahah. tho more ppl from my floor should have showed. but i still spent the night dancing with victoria, cheryl, greg, and others from my dances. i had heard boomerangs was gunna be a good time bc everyone actually could dance, and it was true! kelly even pulled me up from sitting (no sitting allowed ;) ) and everytime i went to take a break esther wanted me back on the bar.
i recieved an awesome text about boys being horney mf's looking to get action (which greg replied to) and recieved 1 million gold star.
i thought i would be dissapointed not having my family around after the show... but this was the most fun ive had in a while.

12:49 pm - DS SHOW
wow what a stressfull week...
Right now I am in Analysis (an advanced calculus sequence) and next year the Advanced program is called "Math Studies". I emailed the advisor to let him know I was interested in Math Studies... and he said they were waiting to see how I did on the last Analysis test before deciding if I could do Math Studies.
I talked to my advisor Mackey about it (who is TOTALLY amazing by the way)he told me not to worry about it...and that if it came down to it he would get me in because he is "very persuasive"
Anyways... in the end... i got an A on my analysis test!! (first A ever in that class for me) after about seven hours of studing the night before. And now math studies is in my schedule!
Over the weekend i got myself into a crazily awkward situation... without going into much detail... but it seems like everything is normal again., and i have both my flip flops so its all good.
Last night was the first DS show. WOW i loved it!!! ive loved learning all of my dances and they all turned out so well. The salsa dance im in is by far my favorite. It reminds me soo much of something i would have learned at DDD. Dont worry.. for all of you not in pittsburgh i will have the dvd by the time i return to buffalo. and for everyone in pittsburgh..
8pm sat night
hypnotic in rangos
get there early- tickets will sell out
it will end by 10
after party at boomerangs at 11
im in two songs before intermission... one song after intermission
then find me afterwards to tell me you LOVED the show!

02:59 pm - Fav Songs
soo i have some songs you should download bc they are AMAZING
in no paticular order...
Shakira: Hips don't lie
Keith Urban: tonight i want to cry
PussyCatDolls: BEEP
Rascal Flatts: What hurts the most
i can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
that dont bother me
i can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
im not
afraid to cry
every once
in a while
even though
going on
with you gone
still upsets me
there are days
every now
and again
i pretend
im ok
but thats not what gets me
what hurts the most
was being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
and never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what i was trying to do

10:02 pm - School
Wow I can not wait for school to end. Just like every April/May since freshman year in high school I can tell my grades are slowly falling. But since I no longer need a winter coat I obviously need to carry around a spring purse--- which means no bookbag and no books!! yay! hahah hopefully I'll be motivated after having spring carnival off.
I havent been getting enough sleep either- so today i slept from 2am to 6pm. I only woke up because my mom called. one day this week i couldnt wake up because i was dreaming that i was solving for a current in an electric field. i kept pushing my snooze button so i could have more time to find the current in my dream. this is only slightly less scarier than the time i woke up and thought i was a number
ooo and NUMB3RS has been AMAZING lately. start watching it again! 10pm friday nights!

07:41 pm - Day Light Savings
The best way to beat day-light savings is obviously not to sleep at all!
So last night I found myself back in Hamerschlag (movieing). I felt like I was back in first semester- when I didn't have any jobs, had a much smaller course load, would watch movies during the week just bc i could, and was just less stressed in general.
I forgot how different things are over there... it was almost like I was back home and it felt like i had seen the guys all the time since november rather than rarely.
When i left it was 7am and it was beautiful outside. It was one of those mornings that i would find my mom sitting outside in her white nightgown smoking on the front porch, and even tho i hate the smell of smoke and it would be a little too chilly for me i would still go and sit too. Ive only been back for two weeks but im begining to miss home. There are only three weeks of tutoring training left, im hoping that once its over ill be able to stop and breathe before finals are here.
I often cant believe how much things have changed since the begining of the school year, besides the overwhelming amount of work everything is amazing right now, but it was great to remember how much i loved last semester.

12:20 am - I should just give up
recently i found out that my grandpa (who i thought was the nicest, most caring, etc) had an affair a few years ago. It was with my grandmas close friend and their neighbor. My grandpa is now spending a lot of time with her-- he has been since november, even tho my grandma just passed away in august.
im really upset about it-- bc even the greatest guy can mess up and be unfaithfull. i really dont have much hope anymore.
Jan. 14th, 2006
02:02 am - back to school
Ill be leaving for pittsburgh in approx 12 hours. I had a wonderful christmas vacation. I watched tons of movies had a ton of time with my friends and family and im just really content with mostly everything right now.
haha just remembered:
SARAH APPLIN: kathleen and melissa have been facebooked married for a REALLY LONG TIME. we need something to break them up. Emily! you're good at breaking up relationships!
so basically right now i love being at home and i love being in pittsburgh and im ready for all the work next semester will throw at me (i really should be working -- a real job -- 3 days a week and i have 24 HOURS of classes each week!!!)
and today was nice bc i spent a while talking to Mrs. West and shes like once of the nicest ppl i know! and i got to visit all my friends before i return to CMU and the girls bbaall team finally won

10:38 pm
so i thought it would be very relaxing to be home for a month with no work, but its not.
ive been having a great time! i see my friends sooo often and ive been to the bball games even tho my sis isnt playing in them and worked the concession stand and had some time with my family
but i still think of nate constantly. even tho he sent me an email telling me he hates me. im finally realizing that i cant keep my exbfs as friends... but bobby has been my best guy friend for a while and i would really hate to see that change
i need to have a huge breakdown or at least long cry to get it out of my system. i hardly ever cry anymore, its nice
Dec. 12th, 2005

01:25 pm - This Weekend
It was a long week. And next week will probably be even more difficult based on the fact that the contribution paper is due Friday. So i relaxed this weekend and didnt do too much work (but now i only have 5 hours before i have to go to real work)
BTW i was amazing at work the other night... we played a game and you had to get at least 20 contacts and 3 credit cards and then the person with the highest $ amount increase got to leave at 9 but still be paid till 930 (yay!)
and i think if i get 8 more credit cards this week i get an extra 2? hours of pay-- what a nice system!
anyways last night was great
i went to an "80s" party
apparently bright colors + tights + short skirt + side ponytail = 80s
but i realized i dont like 80 music much, but since like 10 ppl from my floor were there it was a good time! i love hanging out with my floor... bc i really havent much at all. and i got an opportunity to wear the skirt i bought last time i was in buffalo!

10:45 pm - Things have gotten better
Things have gotten better- actually the past month or so has flown by. Probably because I work two days a week, but Im considering working 3 days next week.
That reminds me... next week friday and saturday is my dance recital!! 8:00pm Rangos, Tickets are $5 presale!! my dance is in the first half of the first act
Today was especially good bc i got my homework due tomorrow done then i got my homework due Wednesday done and i only have three math problems left from my math assignment due friday.
And today jackie and i had a nice boyless dinner!! i believe its the first time weve ate together since orientation-- we are going to have a fun last 3 weeks of the semester.
Except since the semester is ending that means i have a contribution paper due soon (ah!!) im worried about it already... i gotta pull off at the least a B-
And i only have 12 homework assignments FOR THE REST OF THE SEMESTER. How fricken exciting!!! yay!
Nov. 8th, 2005
05:58 pm
well ive had an interesting past few weeks... heres most of the story:
When Nate + I started hangingout he had a g/f whom he broke up with to go out with me. She came from Germany the other week bc she already had tickets to visit him... and i go over to get something from Nate to find him with a hickey on his neck.
From there we broke up, hes now dating her again, and we are no longer even friends.
so im just hanging in there counting the days till i will be back in buffalo--
haha that reminds me... i went to buffalo this past weekend and was so glad to be away from CMU and Nate and i get to my sisters volleyball game and who is the announcer.. mike west (its like omg get me away from all these boys!)
but i will be back for thanksgiving break 2 weeks from now
so yeah all of my friends have really been great and have cheered me up tons... esp lisa and bobby (thanks guys!)
so leave me some nice messages... i could really use them this week (i have resist waiting to see nate after my CSW class and go right to Comp Programming and its NO fun)
