There hasn’t been much going on since my return. I started my internship and I have to say, I’m not that happy with it. Sort of makes me want to rethink this whole career path. Some of it is good, but other parts are horrendous and I keep procrastinating work for it. I feel like a telemarketer. I only go into the office once a week, but I feel like I’m walking on egg shells when I’m there because of the horrible side of work. I don’t like it. At all. The Artistic Director asked me to act in a 10 minute play for a play writing seminar later in July, which I don’t want to do at all, but how can I say no? I’m also teaching a summer camp course on Shakespeare in August for this too. That won’t be so bad but I’ve been wrong about stuff before.

Last night I went and saw Iron Man again in theaters. It’s only the second time I’ve seen it, it was my boyfriend’s third time seeing it. We’re big geeks. I know. I worked all day yesterday, and then I went to frisbee, which was not a good idea because my feet were already sore enough, and then with frisbee, I spend 2 hours running all around a soccer field. But yeah, after, we went back to his house, changed into non-smelly clothes and went out to dinner and then to the movies. We were both exhausted when the movie let out but it was worth it to see it again. We saw previews for The Dark Knight and I have to say, I’m going to see it July 18th at midnight. I am so freaking excited for this movie!!

I’m missing a lot of other details but I can’t be bothered right now.

Day 1

The flight was surprisingly smoother until we reached the top of Lake Michigan. As we started to descend it got bumpy because we started into the clouds, which sucked. I hate to fly really anyways and I expect the shitty turbulence, but I still hate it. I got into O’Hare at around 12:30, grabbed my luggage and went over to the bus station and caught the 1:30 bus to Rockford. I played my DS the entire way practically except when there was a thunderstorm. My nose was glued to the window watching the cloud to ground lightning. Ajemi sent me a text message telling me that there was a tornado 10 minutes away from where she was picking me up. It was awesome! We didn’t see it unfortunately, but we did go to Panera Bread, stuff ourselves silly and then went to her softball game. After that we drove up to her parents house and called it a night.

Day 2

Saturday was Ajemi’s bridal shower and bachelorette party. It was hotter than the hinges of hell and the building where we held the shower had no air conditioning. The food was fantastic and we played games. I think people were slightly miserable because it was so hot but overall I think they had fun. Brandie, Loni, Ajemi and I did, and I think that’s all that matters! She got a lot of great gifts and afterwards Ajemi looked at me and said ‘I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be excited to get gifts I can use to cook.’ Oh the joys of being a grownup. After the shower, we went back to her parent’s house and got ready for the party. We met at the bar at around 7, had a drink and then got on the bus and went bar hopping. We all had a great time, bar hopping, drinking on the bus and playing games. It was a great day, and we got home around 4am.

Day 3

Brandie, Ajemi and I went into Rockford to try and find bridesmaid dresses for Saturday. After about 2 stores we found some in JC Penney. The dresses are beautiful, and they’re red. We didn’t have to compromise anything, which is good because Ajemi was willing to settle, and you don’t settle when it’s your wedding. After the mall, we went to Panera Bread and then to Coldstone for ice cream. Brandie had never had Coldstone before so it was a treat! When we got back to her parent’s house we loaded up the car and just as we were about leave, the skies unleashed their fury. There were tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings all over the county. There was a funnel cloud spotted 3 miles south of the town and then another spotted right outside their town, so we waited it out for a bit and then left. We were on the lookout for funnel clouds/tornadoes all the way home but once we hit Rockford, it seemed to die down completely. I really wanted to see a tornado, or at least a funnel cloud.

(more…)

Saturday was my actual Graduation ceremony and John Kerry was the speaker. He was hilarious, which I wasn’t expecting but was pleasantly surprised. I was dreading sitting through this, but I went anyways for my parents. As we were standing in the parking lot, in lines, waiting to walk into the arena, it started to downpour. My friend looked at me and said this is probably worst case scenario. It was pretty bad but it probably could’ve been a lot worse. Anyways, it’s done and I’m done forever!

This has been a huge week, and thank god it’s almost over because once it’s over, that means I’m in Illinois! I’m heading to a friend’s house for dinner tonight, last night we played Ultimate Frisbee, which is also what we’ll be doing tomorrow. Ask me when I’m going to sneak time in for packing because I work during the day. It’s a jumbled mess on the floor right now. Oh well, it’ll get done before Friday.

There’s nothing else to report. It’s a blah day.
