I know, it's been a while since I've posted. I was going to after I had my orientation at UMass Amherst, but I felt that the only thing that was newsworthy was the fact that they have a black squirrel. Otherwise, it's a concrete (literally) college with good academics and a hotel. Yep.
But in all seriousness, it's been nearly a month since I last posted. and honestly, a lot has happened in that month. The NFL lockout ended, my mom had surgery, I picked my classes, I said goodbye to more friends, I've had more roommates than a frat house, the list goes on. Oh, and the Republican party is going to make it so I can't finish my senior year of college.
Let's put it this way: Summer 2011 has been somewhat lackluster.
But anyhow, I digress. and I somewhat suck at blogging. I was doing so well in the beginning. Maybe the loss of my morning coffee ritual did something. I mean, I went from having the living room all to myself to having a giant sleeping on the couch in the morning. I mean, I like the giant. I just don't like looking at a giant in the morning. Then again, the roommate I didn't care for is gone. Thank God.
I think I'm going to stop this post, and try again later. I mean, I feel like I'm writing for the sake of writing. But let's try this again, kids. I need another hobby besides cleaning up the apartment.

Bleh Day, at least weather wise.
Top of the morning to you all, folks.
So, here in good ol' New Hampshire, the weather's kinda blah. Which mean that having my morning cup of coffee outside is not nearly as enjoyable. So, I'm blogging, to fill the void.
I realized this morning that I'm about halfway through my summer right now. First off, that's pretty cool, in the sense that I'll be starting a new part of my college career soon. But at the same time, I'm wondering: Where did all the time go? I mean seriously, I feel like yesterday I was stressing over finals. From my freshman year. God help me, based on that, I'll be a geriatric soon. EEEEEEEEHH.
I bet you're wondering what brought this on. Well, I'm having a lot of stuff going on over the next few weeks. For instance, I'm attending a transfer student orientation. Then, my Mom's having surgery, and that has me kinda worried. Hysterectomy, folks. And fibroids don't make that any cakewalk. Then literally about 4 weeks later, I'm done at my old school and begin at the new one. While I'm definitely excited, I know I'll miss some of my friends. I'll miss Shannon a.k.a. Ernie, who was always my dinner date. I'll miss all of the old orientation leaders. And I won't lie, I'm kinda pissed I'll won't be seeing my "Lord of the Rings" buddy Bryan, but that's my own doing, since I'm going home when he comes up to visit. Besides, it's for the better, he's going off to work with Invisible Children. That guy's going to save the world, I'm telling you now. Or he's going to chill on a beach with puppies. Trust me, he likes puppies. Actually, he likes all baby animals, for that matter...moving on.
There are just some many friends to name, I don't even know where to start. But there will be new ones made. Crap, my Facebook friends list is going to get a hell of a lot bigger. Damn it, I don't like micromanaging my life. I spend way too much time on that site as it is.
But, they'll be fine, and I'll be fine I'm just in. existential thought this morning. But, I know you read this for my interesting rants, not my stoner-like thoughts. I still need to upload photos, since my camera's no longer missing. I also need to give an update on how my terra potta garden's going. I'm kind of a plant nerd, if you couldn't tell. I also need sugar. That's mandatory. God help me if I become diabetic.
So, with that, I'm peacing out with this thought provoking question for you: Black tea, or herbal?

I found my camera!! Oh, and Happy Birthday, America.
I definitely had an adventure this weekend, which quite honestly, I needed. I needed to hang out with a bunny. I needed to watch the old Star Wars films, I needed to learn a bit about boating, and I definitely needed to get out in the sun. I also needed to attempt to walk my boyfriend's cat on a leash. Poor Carl. But I digress, as I'm horribly ADD and drinking a large iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Be prepared for this to be one of the most discombobulated blog posts on the internet. I also apologize ahead of time for the potential grammatical massacre of the English language. So, in the words of Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park, hold on to your butts.
So, my weekend kinda began like this: I got out of work Thursday night, and had until Tuesday afternoon off. For those that have known my schedule for a while, we know that this has been the longest break I have been able to enjoy in peace and quiet. Without work. Or class. Let's put it this way: It was motherf-ing amazing. It began with just having a chill Thursday night, which became awesome instantly by finally meeting someone who shares the same love of the Lord Of The Rings Series and having a lop eared rabbit named Abigail chilling in everyone's lap (This did happen. Keep in mind, I live in a college town. This should explain a lot).
On Friday, I was able to see Robby, and while this is not out of the ordinary, it was a change to be able to spend a few days with him. If you can't tell, I was pumped. We had a few change of plans earlier in the day, so later on, he asked me if I wanted to go out on his motorboat. As I always like trying new things, I said sure. Within a matter of minutes, I was almost pissing myself because I had had never experienced a boat moving so fast before, and I felt my ass raising up in the air. Being a person who cannot swim well, it can be quite nerve-wracking. However, the fear turned into a sort of roller coaster euphoria, and I was fine by the end of the trip.
On Saturday, I ended up spending a lot of time with Robby's mom(who is awesome), as she happened to be up for the week. She and I kayaked the river that poured out into the lake, and investigated a loon's nest. While the area was roped off by the state officials, you could clearly see where the loon's nest was. By the way, loons are big birds. I mean, I knew they weren't mallard duck size, but those things could seriously kick your ass if they wanted to. Just sayin' folks. Leave the loons alone. On another note, I found my digital camera. I had lost it a while ago, and I had been taking pictures with my phone. That's right folks, those photos I've uploaded since the blog's birth? Taken with a phone. Thank you technology.
(Are you afraid yet? I mean, I seriously just went from Point A to Point B in two paragraphs. Welcome to my mind.)
SUNDAY....I was mostly excited for the fireworks in the evening, but earlier in the day, it looked as if it may not happen. Thankfully it did, but the weather was also not very good outside weather. So, I set up my Kinect at my boyfriend's. Best part? Robby's mom seemed highly entertained by my flailing around trying to pop bubbles in space or hit imaginary dodge balls. Yep, winner right here. But later on, all three of us enjoyed the fireworks in town, which for a small New England town, were really quite impressive. I also enjoyed the fried dough. By the way, to people there who I may not have seen or heard while walking around, I'm sorry for either seeming rude or abrupt. I was on a mission. For sugar.
Finally, on Monday (or as it should be properly called...TODAY), the fourth of July parade took place. It was pretty good, I won't lie though, parades just aren't my thing. I used to do parades when I was in JROTC, I can't help but to feel sorry for flag bearers or people in those antique cars without air conditioning. But nonetheless, it was a very nice parade. After we got back, Robby, his mom and I went out on the boat again to a place called Moon Island. and for the third time in less than twenty-four hours, I saw Debbie Cole, who happens to be one of my many awesome bosses. I thought it was funny by the third time around, I won't lie. But if she happens to be where my honeymoon's at during the same time frame, I may be a bit freaked out. But, to get back on point, I had a great time on the island, and to boot, I got a pretty damn good tan.
But alas, all things must come to an end. I have work tomorrow, and I had to head back to my apartment. But, I had an awesome weekend, and I really hope that I'm able to have another one like it soon. If you can't tell, I'm distracted. There's fireworks going on outside. I like things that go boom. It calls to me. Like a moth to a flame...except less deadly. Anyhow, I promise that my next post will be a tad more sane. And if people could hook me up with Ritalin, I'd appreciate it.
