3:20am, early early Monday morning. Normally if I'm up at this time, I'm either wasting away, trying to forget all the things I need to do, or spending precious sleeping moments on IM. Right now I'm doing neither. I have so much time in front of me, and instead of figuring out what I'm going to do this summer, I'm sticking around Ithaca, partying it up with my graduating (and not graduating but still here) friends. What ever happened to the girl who had it all figured out, who's life was laid out before her like a map (and how I do love maps)? The things that used to be so important to me now seem kinda insignificant, and all I want to do is live day by day, not really thinking about tomorrow, let alone yesterday (or anything having to do with past or present). It's a weird, but good feeling. =)
Today was spent malling with Serena and Crystal. I had my film 1-houred at Ritz, and everyone is loving my pictures. =) I paid three times as much as at the Campus Store ($5, large-print doubles, any size roll), but the quality is awesome. Plus there's this white border on all the pictures, which I'm not sure I like but everyone else does (when I say everyone else today, I mean Serena, Crystal, Helen and Herb). Yay for pictures! It used to be that I always thought, wow, I don't take nearly enough pictures, I'm going to lose these memories. Now I'm clicking away at everything and anything. I took half a roll at Mardi Gras (kickoff to Senior Week) last night - and it was just us doing silly things like riding the mechanical bull and jousting. On inflatable games. Ahh well - now I'm making sure I never forget some things!
After malling, I made a deal with Herb - he bought me dinner and gave me ten dollars, I washed all his dishes. So, so many dishes!!! He actually let me off the hook, and I don't think I was even halfway done - but I still got my dinner (Subway) AND the ten dollars. And I got to watch lots of TV (since now that I have time to watch TV, I don't have one anymore - ahhh!!!). The things I do with my free time.
Tomorrow will be spent cleaning, packing, figuring out what I'm going to do this summer, mailing things to Oklahoma for Jenny, and who knows what else. Casino night, at least, as I continue to pretend I'm a senior. =) It's just practice, I tell you, because I'm not ready to leave this place (and I don't want any of my friends to leave, either - boo!!!).
(BTW - I hope you're all happy that I'm blogging on a regular basis again!)
