• profileMy name is Emily and I'm 23 years old living in Massachusetts. I currently am an unemployed college graduate. I absolutely love baseball, and the Boston Red Sox, and Josh Beckett. I also am fascinated with weather, which most people find odd. I love photography and Bob Dylan too. I hope to one day conquer the world with my writing. But we'll see.

Let Down

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.




Almost

So the Sox are kicking ass right now. 9-3. Ortiz FINALLY gets his groove (at least for this game) and belted a grand slam in the early innings.

I graduate college in about a month and now I’m really, really nervous. I don’t know what’s going to happen AFTER. I have no plans of grad school right now (sort of) and I have no potential jobs except for the one I have right now. I feel like I should automatically have a job in June because I’m now a college graduate so that means I have to be a grown up now. Blah, I’m not in the mood.

I got some good news today. My Meteorology professor puts our exams in alphabetical order so he knows who wasn’t there to take the exam. So I go up to the K-P folder and notice that my exam isn’t in the folder. So I walk up to him and tell him that he didn’t make an exam with my name on it. He goes ‘do you show up to class often?’ Yes. ‘Are you sure it’s not in there?’ Yes. ‘Oh, maybe I just missed a person, what’s your name?’ Emily —-. ‘Oh, the reason I didn’t make an exam for you is because I wanted to tell you that you have the highest average in the class.’ He took an exam out of his grade book and gave it to me to take. That totally made my morning. I bust my ass off for this class and thank god it is finally paying off. Let’s hope I did well on the exam today and then after that, it’s just the final.

Next week is going to be awesome, I don’t have class on Monday OR Friday so it’s only a 3 day week which are always the best because they’re the shortest (DUH). This weekend I’m working a lot though and the mall I’m working at tomorrow, they’re filming a movie so it’s going to be super crowded. Blah. Sunday I don’t have to work until night and then Monday I don’t have to work at all so that’s the day I’m getting all of my homework done.

I’m running out of things to take pictures of. My days blend into each other and consist of the same exact things. That gets boring.

Anyways, this post was a bunch of random things, sorry if they’re not coherent.




Been A While…

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted in this and I’m sorry to say that there’s nothing new to report. Sort of.

On Sunday I saw Horton Hears A Who so this weekend I will write a review for it. It was an awesome movie though, I recommend it to everyone, even if you don’t have kids. No one but Jim Carrey could have played this role. There weren’t a lot of people in the theater, but those who were there had children who were still in diapers and couldn’t sit still. Now it’s a kids movie, so that’s expected but it’s still annoying. The baby next to me wouldn’t stop crying because she wanted to leave and her mother wouldn’t take her out of the theater.

Baseball season has officially kicked off so that means that I will be in a phenomenal mood for the next coming weeks. I haven’t been able to catch any full games yet but I get scores sent to my phone so I can stay up to date and then when I get a free moment I watch and read highlights. Santana had an amazing first game and Fokudoma was a hit in Chicago!

I have 2 exams tomorrow, one was already scheduled but the other was a surprise. Friday I had an exam in my meteorology course (I had been studying since Tuesday) and Monday he walks in and tells us that he caught two people cheating so he’s making the entire class retake the exam. But it’s not the same exam, it’s a much HARDER exam. I am so pissed off about this, words cannot even describe. I worked my ASS off studying for this exam and now I bet I’m not even going to pass it because two assholes who sit in the back of the room thought they were being cool.

Anyways, I started doing the Project 365. This will be probably my 5th time attempting it. Has anyone ever actually completed this project? I’m doing good so far, I think I’m on my 13th day and I’ve taken a photo every single day. Let’s hope this will continue. It’s hard though because sometimes I’ll leave for school and forget my camera, or because my camera is so huge that I don’t want to lug it around everywhere. But I always manage to find a picture so that’s good.

The semester is half over so that means that I have a few weeks left before I’m done for good. That scares the CRAP out of me because I still have no idea what I want to do. They’re having a career fair soon so I’ll go to that and see what’s out there. But I don’t like the idea of going out and getting a real job.
