The end of an era is coming to a close.
My room is pretty much packed up. I've been packing for like four hours now, and I finally got things really and truly packed. So weird to see things being thrown out and packed up, not to be seen until I move to Miami in August. I've done a pretty good job packing, though I got box happy and now have more boxes than I need. I don't even know if I am going to need any....
Last night at Tommy Joe's tonight. And by tonight, I really mean starting 3 hours from now, since happy hour begins at 5. This was my place since December, and I'm going to miss the people there terribly. It should be a good night, however, with Erin coming with me at 5, Woo in there, Ace coming after work, and I'm hoping Kim and company. Just sad that when I find myself a niche around here, it's time to move on....
So I got 3 bags and 1 box so far. Not too bad. Still some more to go, and the guys are coming tomorrow to get rid of my furniture. It'll be much easier to finish packing when I have more room to do so...I wonder what time they are coming, I need to have everything cleared off...
So yah. I begin my job in New York City on Monday. My first 5-day, 9-5 job. And I'm commuting. Woot. I'll get a taste of the real world for about a month, because in July I'll only be working Monday-Wednesday, and probably wetting myself to move to Miami. But it'll be good experience and look fab on the resume.
I've been having interesting dreams lately. One I can recall from last night seemed rather long. It involved a certain someone and his roommate. We were hanging in their place, just watching TV and stuff, but nothing was really happening--pretty much like our relationship was before everythign went down. After a while it changed to us being on a cruise ship, and drinking and hanging out together. Once again, nothing happened, and the dream moved on to other things, but it was interesting nonetheless. I'm a firm believer that all of my dreams have meaning, yet this one doesn't seem to do much for me yet...
So weird to look around my room and see it so empty. Even sadder tomorrow...

The New Canaan Effect
I was pretty excited to get home yesterday. When I woke up, it was like it hit me, and I wanted to get on the road and get home as soon as possible. And I did.
It was real nice getting home. I stopped in to see my tennis coach and catch up on old times. He looks great still, it's really not fair, and I look forward to being home for good to hit some with him. He was a huge part of my life and it was good to see him doing so well.
Dad and I went to dinner last night and caught up. It was the first time him and I actually really had a good conversation, one on one like that. Often when it's just him and I the conversation is sparse, but there was something different last night. Maybe I had more to say, or he did, or he was not as stressed about work as he usually is. Whatever it may be, it was enjoyable.
Today I ran around doing errands most of the day. Woot for a sale at the Rugby Store--for those of you not familiar, a trendier and (somewhat) cheaper Ralph Lauren store. Cool stuff, and the logo is a skull and crossbones.
Which brings me to my first deep thought in a while. My sister, mom, and pretty much everyone keep telling me how I'm really going to need to change the way I dress when I am in Miami starting in August. Ok yah, I know I'm not the trendiest girl, and prep girls probably don't go far in Miami, but I really don't want to change myself completely, and I am sure I will pick up more of the "style" once I'm there. It's just annoying that they are constantly harping on how I dress when it's what I feel good in.
If I actually felt more comfortable about how I look then I would dress a little more trendier, and this is something I am working on. I'm never going to be a size 0 but I'm doing what I can before I enter the world of bikinis. Sometimes I wonder why I picked Miami, it really is going to be culture shock, but no doubt it will be good for me.
Being home makes me laugh as well. The moms are all ridiculously skinny and don't look their age. The cars are gorgeous. The kids all prepped out. Oh I wish some of you could come here and see where I grew up, it would really explain a lot more about me.
My cousin's sweet 16 is tomorrow night. So I'll be heading out there as the awkward cousin. It will definitely be a good time and I'm glad I'm able to attend. While I'm looking forward to it, I am absolutely not looking forward to the drive back on Saturday, where I will most likely hit the Memorial Day beach traffic, and I am definitely not looking forward to the extensive cleaning/packing/throwing out that will be going on until Wednesday.
And can anyone help me move my stupid bed? Jamie said she would but we're gonna need some help from a guy. We need to move a mattress and box springs from my apartment to the Berks. Oh this is gonna be an adventure on Wednesday night...
Anyways, I am looking forward to starting my job in NYC a week from Monday. Should be interesting, and fun. I hope. Not looking forward to commuting.
I also wish I wasn't so dumb sometimes, ans really wish I had had everything all packed by this weekend so I could have next week to chill out. My plan is to get as much done as early in the week as possible so I can get back, I mean I barely have work clothes for a 5-day work week. I would have been better served getting everything done in the past week and a half that I did nothing so I could not be a freak before I begin my job.
So a week from today I should be moved back to Connecticut for two months. I'm shooting to be back Wednesday night---my dad wants me to do a "test run" on the train so I know where I'm going on Monday, and yah I should get work clothing.
Good luck to me, Sunday and Monday are gonna be super fun.....

Out with the old...
For any of you still in the District, I have a lot of stuff I am looking to get rid of. If anyone is interested, hit me up, and you can pick what you want. Otherwise I hope to be able to donate a lot of this stuff.....

Welcome back...
Yes, it's been quite a while. But I'm back. I realize this is a good way for me to express myself because typing is so much easier than writing, and it's also a good way for people to keep in touch with me. So here goes.
It's so weird to think that in August I'll be moving to a new city to start a new life as a 1L law student. I feel more like an adult this time, as opposed to when I was getting ready to move to D.C. for life as a collegiate at AU. It's like I am going there to truly begin my life.
I don't want to leave anyone. I keep telling all my close friends they should look for jobs in Miami and come live there, and people keep laughing about it, but why not? I know I should have stayed here but the LSAT Gods were not happy with me and no school in D.C. would accept me. Plus it's a great way for us to get out there and see what other places have to offer. We're only this age once.
But I am excited for this next step. A new city with new people and a whole new experience waiting for me. A chance for me to find myself more. I just wish some of my friends could be closer to me.
We've been graduated for a week now (well some of us) and it just feels weird. I spent most of the week sick in bed, and am now, at 11:30 at night, finally beginning to feel better. As much as I want to stay, I am ready to move on.
The episode from a couple of weeks ago isn't bothering me anymore, but it's sad to think a friendship was lost. But such is life sometimes. I really thought there was potential, but then again, what do I know when it comes to that game? Little to nothing. Being at home and working in New York City will be good for me, a good time for me to gain some great experience, as well as money, before I head down to the city where the heat is on. Working 9-5 and commuting on the train is certainly something I've never done before, I guess 22 is a good age to begin. The plan is to get into Miami shape too--I should just stop eating for the next three months.
Well that's all I got for now. Not feeling incredibly profound or deep at the moment, but I'll try to keep on top of this. Hey, who knows, maybe one day I'll have as close a following as Ace over there...
