i have the absolute best roomies in the world!!!

we had so much fun last night and were up being goofs till 3am... it was like a sleepover in fitz 316. and then when it was time to go to bed we sang the entire "so Long Farewell Alvetersain Goodbye" song from the Sound of music... and made a scary chord at the end.. oh our poor neighbors. :-P

so much has happend since i last posted: halloween, notre dame weekend, and almost time to go home!!! for fall musical!!!!!!!! yay

so halloween: good times, went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood behind upper for old times sake, met lots of cute old people that live in the mansions back there and they all wanted us to come in and chat-- so cute! ( i know sarah and emma wouldnt have enjoyed the old people) then we watched hocus pocus on the big screen  with lots of crazies. then we were around and it was late and people were really drunk. we took the bus back to upper and everyone on the bus was drunk and this guys started barfing all over the place which was so gross since the bus was packed and no way to escape and then my friend realized she was standing on a used condom-- how special. after we got back we hung around and did i dont know what till like 3 in the morning, but i ahd to get up early-ish so i could go to the mods with kimbra.

next day: the mods are where seniors live and on football game days people under 21 arent allowed in ther because there is a lot of drinking and they check everyone's ID. kimbra's sister is a senior and lives down there, so she and i got up early and snuck into her sister's mod before they started checking IDs. we made it jsut in time, 15 minutes later and we wouldnt have made it. so then we tailgated with kimbra's sister and all her senior friends who were super nice, and then kimbras parents came and brought a spread of absolutely everything that is delicious. it was very nice.

then there was notre dame weekend, and what can i say, it was the highlight of my freshman experience thus far. friday was hockey and we lossed 4-1 miserably, but thats ok, we certainly redeemed ourselves the next night. saturday day i went into boston with hanna which was very nice because i fel like i've lost contact with people from home aside from our thread since i never IM ppl and i can only video chat thru skype and no one has a skype account. so we went to lunch at bertuccis which was lovely, went and did some xmas shopping at crate and barrel and then did some browsing at fanueil hall (very quickly). unfortunately i had to rush off to get back for the football game that night. it was at 8 pm, but we left our room at 4:30 and lined up outside the stadium at 6pm. we got in at 6:30 and stood on the bleachers for an hour and a half before the game and throughout the enitre game-- my legs were absolutely numb by the end. it was incredible tho-- we shut out ND 17-0!!!!!!!!!!! hell yes. we also got on espn-- sick- and our poster got on the jumbotron in the stadium. overall it was an amazing time..... love ND BC rivalry.

ok this was sufficiently long and more for me to document my life than for you all to sit painfully through and read... ok see ya!

and we failed our room inspection.... yay us!

i dreamed about festival last nite-- and all the shstc people i care about--it was awesome.

and i dreamed about some singing compeition that we were in too that was also happening at our school on prelims day, and tenor base was competing, and they were all black and did reggae and rap songs,and wore dress shirts with beaters and jeans and had the dress shirts unbutton-- it was so un-t-b...

that is all

see, the good thing about BC is that there is alwyas something going on during the weekends through the school, that i dont even have to think up my own plans. this past friday we had a hockey game  and that took us till 10:30 then we went to fondue friday at the chocolate bar and had chocolate fondue and listened to amazing guys singing and playing at open mic nite. then saturday was probably the most productive day i've had here.

we went to the head of the charles in the morning-- it was a glorious fall day and it was really fun. there was also like 10,000 free things there and we made meals out of delicious and random samples including indian food--so yummy. then we went to harvard square and just walked around. then we bumped into an unofficial tour of harvard so we went on it and learned all teh funny and entertaining history of harvard. i also saw the dorm rooms of john adams, john hancock and sam adams-- how historical of me! when we went back i took an hour power nap and then it was a night game for football!

those are awesome and everyone's really drunk at them cause they're at nite. we went to a few tailgates before the game and thenwent in. i sat with Mac and Mark for an hour of the game cause they have seasons tickets to BC football and i finally found out where they sat. talking to Mac for a hour gave me a lot of closure on my whole high school and college transition. i miss her alot and associate her with shs and shstc, but shes not there either during the school day and she's transitioning too. she also talked to me a lot about her college years and it was fun-- we felt like good old friends catching up on eachothers lives.

after we won against virginia tech, we stormed the field. yes I stormed the field. it is totally not allowed and not legal and the school gets fined $12,000 when their students storm the field, but so many people were that there was no way i could've gotten in trouble. it was such a rush jumping down the 12 ft wall from the stands into the field and everyone was jsut crazy and dancing and screaming-- it was an awesome feeling.

after that a group of 12 of us went to get drinks to warm up and then we came abck to our room till 2:30. it was jsut nice sitting around and feeling like real friends that i hope i can keep and see making lasting friendships with. i pretty much already know whos gunna be in my 8-man suite next year too- that'll be so fun since we're such good friends!

so yea.. i'm very happy and content and feel like i did alot with my life this weekend, even though i didnt really have to plan much of it-- it kind of just falls into place here for me at BC!!!

wow. its been forever since i've updated.. i didnt realize it was this long. idk there hasnt been anything extreme that i have felt important to document in my life this week. it went y slowly each day but now that its friday tomorrow i cant believe how fast the week has flown by. so lets see, last weekend i did a diabetes walk in boston- it was 5 miles and it was amazing. it was an absolutely GORGEOUS day and it was a great walk around the charles and by the science museum (which i love by the way) and idk it was just really nice becuase i got to bond with a lot of nursing girls. then i went home and sunday i went applepicking with my family at GeorgeHill Orchards-- it was  another beautiful day- epitome of fall and great for apple picking. it was nice to go home and see my dog and be at the leisure of doing my laundry whenever and showering and using a non-public bathroom-- ahh home. then we did birthday festivities for my mom and monday morning i came back to campus.

i got the highest grade of the whole nursing class on our first chemistry test-- can u believe that?? i surely cant! i thought i did well, but not that well! the average was 81/120 and i got 107/120 so on the scale its an A+!! I am so psyched cause that gives me a little cushion for future tests-- plus he drops our lowest grade anyways so im off to a good start. who would've thought i'd be so good at chem.? perhaps kenner did me well afterall!

today i had my first nursing senate meeting-- that was cool and i felt so official and important but yea-- im really glad im 1 of 5 reps for my class cuase all the girls and 1 guy on senate are so ncie and great resources. then i had chorale rehearsal and then went to cleveland circle for a party at my orientation leader's appartment. it was so nice-- huge- 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a huge kitchen, dining room, living room that was the size of my dorm room and a back porch-- how spacious and lovely. it was fun to see her again cause she's awesome and reunite with people and meet others that were in her groups during ohter sessions. i meet some creepy ppl in cleveland cir tho... sktchy old hobo drunk men... yea fun times.

tomorrow if friday--aka an awesome day. french is my only class and its @ 1pm. then tomorrow night is our first HOCKEY GAME!!! there's a banner raising with fun activities and freebies from 5:30-7:00 and then the game is 7- whenever... it should be insane fun!! saturday i have a chorale performance for a big charity event for BC. all these big BC alums will be there, the big government officials of boston, the cardinal of boston and yea.. bigwig ppl. then we'll have an afterparty of sorts which will be awesome and im staying the whole time-- if i get written up i will, but i likely wont cuase usually they just break up and tell ppl to leave in senior housing. so yea... then sunday i get to come home and hopefully see some of you... though even though im coming home i'm like not gunna be home. we're doing brunch somewhere sunday morning and at nite we're doing family stuff with cousins who are home from college and then monday its finishing up hw and heading back again. oh my crazy life, but i love it and wouldnt chnage it for the world...


oy that was long... sorry... see ya soon-ish, maybe.

yea so im sick. i came home last nite after the football game cause it was parents weekend and my parents were there anyway so they took me home. i felt really icky all week sort of--really bad congestion and a cold, but yesterday i felt like  i had and ear infection and sinus infection. so... being that it was the weekend and nite time no doctors office is open, so i had to go to norwood hospital ER. that was special-- a 3 hour wait to see a doctor... but in the waiting room you see lots of characters, but it made me fell really germ-a-phobic with all these sick people around me. so finally when i saw the doctor he was like yup, your eardrum is surrounded with fluid, but its not totally immobilized and its not pussy yet, so i cant give you antibiotics. i was pissed. i was like buddy-- i am home from college to deal with this now, it kills like nothing else, and i have had over 20 (no exaggeration) ear infections in that ear and seen several specialists about it, and every other person has always given me the antibiotics no matter how small the issue cuase it only gets worse, not better. so yea he said it wasnt infected enough yet and said i just had otalgia (severe ear pain and drum swelling) and a virus of somekind. so after wasting 3 hours waiting he tells me yep its bad but take tylenol or something and if its still bad in 3 days come back or see someone at BC. i was really angry. and he said i didnt have a sinus infection, just really bad congestion that was inhibiting my breathing and swallowing--swell! so yea...

and today was the last day of parents day at BC-- it was a mass and then we had planned to do brunch with my roomates and their parents. so we went into BC today and it was really nice and both laura and margarets familes are super nice!! i loved them. and laura has a 7 year old brother who was soo cute and entertatining!! i also met her 13 year old sister who is really cute! it really made me wish i had siblings.. i hate being an only child. but anyways so after brunch i went back to my dorm and got my laundry and my school stuff and came back home to recouperate and get some laundry done and use a real shower and jsut be able to relax its soo nice. i love being home, but when im home i kinda wish i was there... but only if i was feeling better. so now i'll be coming home 3 weekends in a row. this weekend, next weekend for my moms birhday and applepicking and the next (sunday and monday of it) for columbus day. its handy tho for me cause monday i dont have class till 1 so its not rush in getting back in the am. ok well,,, im gunna go take it easy!

so i went to my first college party tonite... mind you i didnt stay too long. that part of campus is soo out of control on weekends, i had no idea. it was a chorale party and it was anchor's away (pirate, sailor, anything water-related or nautical) themed. caroline and i got all decked out in pirate attire which was very entertaining, especially on the 15 minute walk down to lower... people mustve thought we were crazy-- i have some pretty funny/embarassing pics that i might out on facebook of my evening. so yea you could hear the party from outside the building and needless to say it was pretty out of control when i got there-- way too many people in that small of a room--- it was definitely over 100 degrees in there everyone was sweating--nastiness! but i hung around for a bit and took in all the chracters and saw poeple that i needed to see and got out of there pretty quickly after that. it was only a matter of time before that was gunna be broken up, the cops were breaking up a party down the hall, and it was so loud ibn the room that the walls were shaking from the loud music and people singing and it reaked of alcohol, so yea... so i didnt need ot hang around to get in trouble... but it was fun and entertaining.

and performing with the boston pops was unbelieveable!!! brian mitchell stokes performed too as a guest performer and he was INCREDIBLE! i couldve listened to him sing forever!!! i am truly and i cant say this enough, obsessed with chorale-- my dad was like i thought select was good, but this was 100X better-- unbelieveably amazing. it was soo fun and fulfilling..love them! so yea. now im extremely tired which is kinda sad cause its not even 2 yet, but i ahve to get up at like 10 for the foorball game, so i guess i'll go to bed soon. so yea.. eventful evening, in many ways... love u all and miss u--ciao!

what a week... glad its over! this week i had what i would conisder my worst day here so far... lots of really unneccessary stress...but its ok its all over now and im moving past it. today was my first real college test-- it wasnt too bad, but i didnt score as high as i expected. its funny in college how fast they post grades--like we put our eagle id # on the scantron and when it scans your test it posts your score online on your eagle account--- its wicked high tech. but yea...

tonite i went to chorale rehearsal for our last one before performing with the pops and then went to dinner on lower with caroline. i like her alot--shes really cute and sweet--i feel really badly for her though-- i found out her mom died when she was 16 and this weekend is parent's weekend, so i feel bad everyone is talking about family stuff and her dad is coming, but its just him and her now-- shes an only child too. after dinner which was really yummy chicken parm without lots of parm (good for me, bad for all you cheese-loving people) caroline and i went to acapella fest and met up with laura- my roomate/really good friend. it was awesome cause each acapella group performed like 3 pieces each and they were all soo amazing-- i wish i was in one, but it was nice just being able to watch them too. it was fun though cause i knew so many of the performers from meeting them at auditions. i also found out one of my guy friends Max sings and is awesome. so yea... tonite was a really good night and filled with awesome music.

i am so relieved this week is over. but i have an anatomy lab quiz on monday, a chem test on tuesday and a chem lab on wednesday---ughh i didnt realize how much the first half of this coming week is gunna suck!. this weekend shall be fun though. tomorrow chorale is singing with the pops, then we're having an Anchor's Away themed chorale party-- im gunna be a pirate--arrr. then saturday is football game vs URI which we should def. win and it is filled with fun tailgaiting and awesome game-day festivities. sunday is a campus-wide mass to end parents weekend and then brunch in boston with laura and magaret's families and then maybe going around boston with the fam a bit depending on the weather.. which is supposed to suck this weekend. we're in the band of 3-6 inches of rain, depending on which way the storm goes--yay for mass flooding!! lol so yea.... tomorrow i have chorale rehearsal with the pops from 11:30-1 and french class-- low key day--yay!.. miss u guys--wish columbus day would come sooner-- though i cant come home till saturday night cuase chorale has a performance saturday at some point. yea so... ok going to bed early--wicked tired! bye

margaret's kind of angering me right now. i cant put my finger on why that is, but sometimes she just pisses me off, in a very subtle way, but it angers me a lot anyways. me and laura on the other hand get along so well like all the time. we're really good friends, infact i'd say she and caroline are my closest friends that i ahve here. we're all very similar and could hangout/ just talk forever. back to margaret-- shes been texting back and forth with her boyfriend for like an hour now and whenever he texts her she opens it and like gasps or giggles really loudly and awkwardly or makes wierd noises about it. its really awkward and disruptive when everyone's silently doing work/ studying at their desks and she starts giggling wierdly. grr. the only worse thing is when she skypes with her boyfriend. then she talks really loudy cause she puts headphones in and doesnt realize how loud she is, and flirts and does her dumb flirty arguing with him about THE STUPIDEST things in the world. its soooo annoying when she flirt fights with him...ugh it drives me crazy-- i dont know how to politely ask her to stop and she usually does this for an hour or so at the end of the night. sometimes i go to bed just so that she'll stop talking to him. i'll like turn off the lights and lay down and she'll be like o i have to go now, one of my roomates is going to bed and then i'll be like o i forgot to do something/ chekc something and get back up to work in peace.  its soo stupid..so if any of you know a nice way of telling a roomate to shutup and get off skype let me know, i never video chat when my roomates are in the room-- i find it quite awkward,... apparently she doesnt. so yea... i have a major anatomy test this thursday-- im very nervous and dont really knwo how to study for it, but hopefully i'll do ok on it. we havent learned that much, but then she study questions are wicked intense. idk...maybe i should go do that and stop bitching about my roomate. dont get me wrong, we usually get along well too, but this dumb talking and texting thing has jsut started building up and started to annoy me-- i needed an outlet.. thanks guys! 

i cant wait for tomorrow. to see you guys again. to reminisce, to have people know who i am tlaking about.. because i cant do our inside jokes/ talk about u guys here without having to explain who u are, so i dont too much which is sad/hard.  i miss u all so much. i wish i could see sarah, ally, emma, but i understand obviously why u arent coming... wish u were though! i want to be updated on everyones lives. and see the faces of u guys again. its been so long. i wonder if anything will seem different.

on a totally other note, i have my first college test tomorrow. its in french so it should be easy, i did so much prep for it and its an easy class so hopefully it should be no problem... it still nervous though.

on another random note.. this weekend we have another home football game-- I AM SO EXCITED---LOVE BC football! and i got to be good friends with this awesome girl janie from chorale who's family does major tailgating and she invited me and anyone i wanted to bring to her family's tailgate--yay! janie and i are rooming on the rome spring break trip together and caroline is rooming with us to. i wouldnt want to go anywhere withouth being in a triple... lol. but no this time the room is made for 3. maybe we'll take in anohter person and have a4.. who knows. caroline speaks italian so that'll be handy for wandering italy. and janie is just awesome. the perfect person to be friends with. she is really good at singing and acting-- she went to stagedoor manor-- a really prestiegous acting camp for 4 years. shes very nice and her sister rory is a senior here and she has a twin sister annie who lives on my floor! great family. i am starting to spread out my friendships a little bit, but i need to meet more guys. its hard wiht only 1 floor of guys in my building, hardly any guys in my classes cause theres only 3 guys in my whole nursing glass, and roomates that dont hang out with guys, its hard to come by guy friends. i also would like a boyfriend. its getting pathetic that im 18 and never had a boyfriend and never done anything with a guy. theres one guy ilike a lot and we're kinda friends. dan and i were in the same orientation group, we're in chorale together and liturgy choir (meaning he's religious) and he's in marching band which is soo cool! unfortunately he lives on newton so i only see him at rehearsals and its hard to really bond and socialize over that. hopefully we'll do some major bonding at chorale parties. lets hope. if not him... idk who. anyways, see alll u lovelies tomorrow!!

IM OBSESSED WITH CHORALE!!! Its like select and shstc-ish but college style. Today was women's sectional and then freshman/upperclassman officer dinner in the mods. The mods are like modular housing, sort of like mobile homes but on the ground and they are senior housing. They are full functioning homes with mulitple bathrooms, living space, full kitchen etc and a big backyard shared by 4 mods. It was so fun to go there cause underclassmen arent really allowed down there cause drinking is allowed cause everyone there is 21+, but yea it was fun. We had a BBQ type dinner and i mingeled with all the chorale freshman and met some more awesome people and this adorable guy. We did a lot of name game/ bonding type games and it was so much fun. I stayed down there till 10 even though I had work and felt so college-y boding with upperclassmen chorale officers instead of doing work. Then I came back and talked to my Peer Minister for an hour cause I have to write a paper on him like a biography sort of thing for my freshman writing seminar. He is an awesome guy and someone I could talk to forever/ would love to hang out with all the time. He is 24 but super nice and if he was a little younger I would totally date him. He is so my type- really into his religion, music, people, he's just an awesome guy and someone I plan on spending lots of time with and hanging out with. I'm finding when you actually meet people and talk to them, I mean really TALK to them and find out who they are, BC is filled with amazing people. I am so quick to judge someone on how they look and i really dont mean to but I make really quick first impressions when I just see someone and all that I have found as I spend my time here is that I am always wrong. I always assume the worst of people and think thye'll be snobby, uppity, too good for me type people, but when I talk to them I find out they are amazing people. I feel so content right now. I definitely feel i made the right choice, I am finding my niche (chorale is becoming a little family already and I love it!! i am truly obsessed) and I am learning so much about people, myself and the right things to do in life. College has definitely been more than an academic journey for me thus far, rather I am learning so much about myself, who I am and what I want to become and about how I want to go about my life and my interactions with people.. its just awesome. This entry got kinda deep... sorry for going that route, but thats just how I'm feeling and I wanted to get that out. I love BC and Chorale and I cant wait for the many more awesome experiences and lessons I will gain from this great place.

so last nite i went to the north end for the first time in my life.. which is pretty sad since i live like 45 mins from there yet i've never experienced the true italian food of boston's north end. i was so fun and quite an experience from mobs of very italian families swarming the streets, to seeeing squeezebox players and opera singers on the corner, to waiting for 15 minutes in a mob at mikes pastry for my first ever canolli-- quite a fun night. it was for laura (my roomate)'s 18th birthday and unfortunately only 5 of us could go. out of the group i usually hang with a few went home this weekend, one had a team dinner and one was still hungover-ish from her brother's junior party that lasted till 9 am saturday morning and didnt feel like going out. it was slightly reminiscent of high school cause we dont quite have a guy group that we hang out wiht on a regular basis and it was jsut a girls night out, but it was very fun, and the 5 of us are getting really close, especially me laura and caroline-- i like them both a lot and can see us lasting as friends for a while. i also met some awesome people at church tonite. i love that at catholic school people go to church and that builds community and you meet great people through it. i joined the liturgy arts group tonite which is a group that does the music program at mass (church) and that way i can meet guys that like music and church! haha this probably sounds funny, but music and church are like 2 major parts of my life, and 2 major ways i want to connect with people, so i am exploring those routes. anyways, all in all things are still going really well. i saw mom and dad tonite and we had dinner which was fun, but it is kinda wierd to go back to parents and have someone that like looks over you and takes care of you again-- my mom couldnt resist asking if i'd been doing my work and saying ok, make sure you do your homework though... ugh... love my mom and dad. well im gunna go shower i guess and do stuff.. idk what but i dont have class till1 pm tomorrow so i can sleep in!!! im disecting a rat in anatomy lab tomorrow tho-- thats should be fun/interesting. yupp and i have a chorale dinner in the mods- senior housing- with all freshman and senior chorale members!! yay--love my chorale family. miss my 02067 family and cant wait to see u guys this friday!!!!

I LOVE LIFE!!! This week has been awesome and it has absolutely flown by. I cant believe tomorrow's already friday (aka my favorite day because I only have 1 class @1pm!!!). So i tried out for 3 a capella groups and didnt get into any of them, but thats ok. THe bostonians only took 3 people-2 sopranos and a guy (neither are me). the acoustics took 3 people out of over 70 and same thing for the dynamics. so needless to say the odds were really against me, but it was fun, i met some great kids and i got my foot in the door with the groups. BUT I DID AUDITION FOR THE CHORALE AND MADE IT!!! this means that i am going to ROME for spring break to perform there for the POPE and in amazing historical venues and to tour Italy with a group of musical college kids. I had my first rehearsal today and it was INCREDIBLE- we already got through soo much stuff cause everyone is really good and focused and picks up the music quickly. our director is like none other- amazing, passionate and soo funny--I love him!!! Everyone says chorale is like a little BC family- they have parties together, they bond and get really close, they have dinners together, newbies get chorale buddies and I AM SOO STOKED FOR THIS!!!! It is soo fulfilling to be aorund people who care about music again and who like to sing, and burst out in song etc....its been too long since i've had a quality chorus experience. saturday we're having a chorale softball game and then im going to boston with my friends for laura's 18th birthday!-perhaps dicks last resort, who knows and then roaming around the city till all hours. then sunday theres a bc big sister/little sister picknick and that'll be my weekend. im soo happy and content right now. the weather is starting to change to fall-ish and today i had lunch outside with this adorable girl from my hall who reminds me soo much of ally becuase she spaces out when she's eating, and it was just so nice and peaceful and college-y outside.yea. BC is an awesome place. people are awesome,roomies are good chorale is amazing and i love everything right now. yea... aww happiness!

yea... im continuing to LOVE BC! really nothing has gone wrong at all for me...other than the fact that i can never find an open laundry machine, life is awesome. yesterday was BC's first home football game, and it was INCREDIBLE! i really cant wait for next weekend to go to another game--its sooo much fun! i have a really nice group of friends, mostly girls, but that'll change as we hang out wiht more ppl. the other night we had a movie night and watched My best friend's wedding and the notebook in the lounge on the big screen, and last night we went to some awesome show till like 1am-- it was mindblowingly awesome! today is pretty much jsut nothingness, a little work, but i did most of it already, might go to some acapella auditions today, cant decide cause they're today-tues, and yea probably more socializing. things couldnt have worked out better-- i was soo nervous coming to school, and i am having an absolute blast. dont get me wrong there are times when i need my space or whatever and want home, and I MISS U ALL TERRIBLY ALL THE TIME, but things are really good here. and other than the fact that im melting cause my room is like an oven... last nite i put my fan on a chair and aimed it full blast at me on my bed-- it was awesome cuase this morning i wasnt sweaty and gross. you all should try it!so yea class again tomorrow... but its jsut 1-1:50 and 2-4 so its another easy day. i love this college schedule-- theres so much free time and the days just fly by. so yea...sorry to hear of all your bad days the other day... i cant say i had one- but i hope things are well for everyone and i hopefully will talk to yuo soon!

i guess the tihng i would say i miss the most is music and theatre. at home i sing non stop, when im doing my work, as i wander around the house or do chores, when i cook, when i listen to music,,, but here i havent sang once at all yet. i dont even like to hum when my roomates are in the room cause i tihnk that would be awkward. i miss music so much. today i laid on my bed for an hour listening to my ipod, especially our songs from shows we've done, and i jsut want to sing along. i might have to pull a sarah and sing in the shower, but you can hear ppl when they do that... i cant wait for acapella auditions and chorale auditions this weekend. all over campus the acapella groups are jsut standing on corners and performing, and their all awesome. ther a few AMAZING all men acapella groups and i could jsut stand there forever and lsiten. i've met so many great ppl thru it already jsut in learning about auditions-- i really hope i can get in a group so we can hum into a pitch pipe and sing on campus corners...ah that would jsut be amazing! i met this kids today that was JUST LIKE NATE! in every aspect--like a music obsessed guy who led this coed acapella group and he had an amazing voice. oh ppl with talent that appreciate music, how i love you. tomorrow i dont have class till 1 so i'll be spending my morning doing laundry and singing while everyone is in class--I CANT WAIT! yea i i miss theatre too-- the bonds that you make--- i listened to our 5 on songs today and almost cried thinking that i'll never have anything like that again... its very sad. i really want to get involved, so i cant wait for the activities fair. so yea..im just really missing music and theatre and freinds, but im having a great time! and making actual friends! yay. peace out

i really just want to cry. i know that sounds really wierd, cause im totally happy, having a blast, loving my classes and making friends, but a part of me wants to cry. it is soo incredibly odd not having rehearsals in the afternoon, i miss seeing my friends all the time, mama, mac, theatre people, my family, sammy (my puppy)...its just sad that i dont get to see the people i know and care about. you dont know how comforting it is to see lili, allison, lissa...jsut someone you know form home. and we like legit talk when we see eachother and make sure eachother is doing well. its nice. i saw anna yeasterday which was nice, but sitting in the dorm today as my roomate talked to her 7yr old brother on the phone, i couldnt help but miss home a bit. in so many ways i dont miss it at all.. i love being away at college and having freedom and noone checking in on me every 2 seconds, but there is still something missing that i cant put my finger on. i havent cried thru this whole transition, infact i havent cried in a long time and i feel like im due for a good cry jsut to get it out... but theres always ppl around. thats certainly the 1 thing i miss the msot..the privacy...but really dont worry...im fine infact im great--- loving it here- just wish i could cry...

sooooo.... i had an extremely awkward and uncomfortable encounter today. yesterday we had a BC safety meeting and the campus police talked to us for like an hour and told us to always report anything suspicious, so when we got back to the dorm my RA told us about this sketchy guy (LAST YEAR) that snuck into the dorms and was selling magazines. he like harassed the girls on her floor last year and pushed his way into dorms and wouldnt leave till he got money. so my RA becca gave him money and when he left she called campus police and got him arrested. apparantly he's some major scam guy in new england and they were really happy to have caught him. so today i was walking on lower campus to this nearly off campus building to fill out papers for work study and these 2 guys came out of nowhere and ask me if i go to bc, so i figured they were looking for a building cause one was like oh ask her she'll know. so the other came over to me and the 1st guy walked away. i needed to get to this place between classes so i told him i needed to walk as he asked, and turns out it was THE GUY. he was trying to sell me magazines for a "service trip" that he was doing, but i told him i had just renewed all my subscriptions so they would send to bc. unfortunately that didnt get rid of him, so he was like well you can purchase sets of childrens books for the childrens hospital and thats a 2 for 1 benefit- my service trip and the hospitals, but i knew he was fake so i was like i have no money on me. and he was like i'll walk you to an atm theres on right near by, and i was like i dont have my atm card- he was like check? i can just copy your credit card #? and I was like no sorry i only have my eagle card (student id with cash) and he was like aww that wont work for me, see ya baby..and thankfully after like 10 minutes i got rid of him and luckily some campus police were right near by so i flagged them down and got him arrested again--he's like a major scam guy who keeps coming back to bc, and i couldnt believe that i had walked into that situation on my 1st day of classes. it was incredibly awkward having the police stop him like 15 feet down the walkway from me, but im glad he got caught and i got out of the situation without problems...oh the stresses of the first day.

on another note classes were awesome. my anatomy teacher is fine. i love my chem teacher-he's hilarious and my writing teacher is 24 and really cool. he's like idk awesome and fun and we jsut did ice breakers today cause its only a 15 ppl class and we have a coffee conference 1 time per week about our writing at the time, so it should be a great class. yep--all for now. now to shower and go to the sox game with my mom!

let me just say... I LOVE BC!!! Its still awkward cause I dont know tons of ppl, but my RA is the best and she had us do a bunch of activties as a floor and we bonded a lot and I feel like I know who ppl are a lot more. Its really fun cause like we had dinner as a floor last night in Carney and tonite we're having a floor Gossip Girl/One Tree Hill pizza party in the lounge--yay! That should be really fun. Last night was the boston harbor cruise and everyone was drunk and it was awesome--it made shs dances look dull. A bunch of girls from my floor went together--and yes I am hanging out with Lili--its fun actually, a little wierd cuase we were never friendly before, but I actually like hanging out wiht her. The girls next to me are awesome- Katie (whos is ROTC) and Katharine-who are soo much fun, love music and jason mraz!!! We had a pre-cruise dance party in their room and it was great. They're so good for crashing junior parties and wandering around campus at like 3 am ...now im just tired form all of it tho..oh well it was fun. And the other girls on the end of the hall are really nice too Katelyn and Collette, but they didnt go to the cruise with us. I also love Brianan (Pronounced bree-nan) on my floor- shes awesome and so much fun too. TOday is gunna be a chill day- I didnt go to bed till  after 3 this morning and got up at 11, so now im jsut chilling with the roomies, who are awesome too-- prolly gunna watch rent or some other good movie today. then eventually i need to wander around campus to find where my classes are tomorrow, and then bc safety meetings on lower. then a recruiting meeting for the rec plex so that i can hopefully life guard and make some money. sorry this is really long and me ranting about how much i love this place, and all the random stuff i have to do, but i want to be able to look back, and to keep those of you who are patient enough to read this updated. love ya all- miss u tons and talk soon!

so moving in went a lot better than i anticipated. i was able to fit everything into my dorm and it doesnt even look messy! there was no more tornado of things on my bed/desk/everywhere and my roomates are both really nice. they're normal, a little quiet, but nice and like theatre so they cant be all bad. its wierd tho lili stopped by to say hi and was all friendly and everything..it was nice- a different side of her and i appreciate that. its so hot in my dorm tho! it had a fan blowing on me, the window wide open and the door propped open too. i dont know how i'll handle this coming week--weather says its gunna be 88 on thursday or something..oy.... (oh yea and ppl here dont know/use oy cuase they're not jewish..thats wierd too!) im not really sure what we're supposed to do here for the next couple of days. we're watching the football game on a big screen in o'neil tonite and then theres an after game comedian, but tomorrow and monday are gunna be very long..hopefully i can meet up with catherine cause she could be a multi-hour distraction and maybe i'll hang out with christina and jess (my friends from orientation that i love!) they both live in my building and christina's actually on my floor so thats nice. the girls across the hall are snooty tho- they keep their door closed and dont even say hi when they come in...oh well..the ppl on the other side are nice too. we hang out in their room alot and apparantly my roomies were in lili's room last night so we might be hanging out again-we'll see. hope everyone's good! i cant post pictures till thurday cause i forgot my connection cable and my mom's gunna bring it on tues. when we got to the sox game together. i  will video message someone and pan around my room or something when not everyone's around. thats all for now. i'll probably write again tomorrow cause it's a good outlet for how im feeling when i dont have anyone here to talk to yet about it so...yea talk to everyone soon!
