my mom did this really great thing today, and i am SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOO proud of her.
30 years ago, she was going to college, but she decided she hated it after 2 semesters and dropped out. now, she has re-enrolled at the same school to take a couple of credits this semester. she had a meeting with a counselor there and they still have her transcript and everything. apparently, she needs about 20 credits to get an associates degree and then she can apply to cornell to get a bachelors or masters degree and it won't cost her anything because my grandmother works there. so, theoretically, in a couple of years, my mom could have a better degree than i will. i'm so happy for her, because she hates the job she has right now, it pays her nothing and she has wanted to get out for years. i think she's realized that with me leaving, and my sister leaving in a few more years that she needs to do more with her life and i'm so happy that she's figured it out. i'm such a sap, i actually cried when she came home today and told me about it. so yeah, hooray for her. :D
current mood:  pleased

i think that maybe i am too sensitive or needy or clingy or something.
but it's like, why do i feel like i never get enough?
and why does my sister keep quoting that book "he's just not that into you"?
cause, fuck.
i just want 2005 to be a fabulous year. so let's start it out spectacularly. and keep it that way, cause that's what i want. and honestly, i could want that forever.

being home feels strange. i'm halfway between wanting to go back to boston and wanting to stay here. i feel like i haven't accomplished anything since i've been home as well. sure, i have done what i always do. drink and get stoned. but i haven't done anything productive. i want to be working on my darkroom so that i can be productive, but my dad keeps saying it's too cold in the basement to work on it, blahblahblah. i also ran out of film, so i can't take any pictures. not that i'm even inspired. i just feel like complete blah. i've been ridiculously stressed, but hopefully i can clear that up soon.
i finally saw heathers last night, with shaun and justin, and it made my head want to explode. and whoever decided that christian slater was a good actor was retarded.
i guess i just need to get myself straightened out or i will explode. yeah.

school is exausting with finals coming up. i'm looking forward to winter break and not having to make a million prints a week (although i'm sure i'll be missing the hell out of it by the end of the first week.)
the overnight thing at aib is this weekend. i am staying on sunday and monday nights. i'll be working in both color and black and white. i hope i get lots done.
also, i need models for a shoot tomorrow night. if you want to model, as usual, i will buy a pizza for everyone that helps out. let me know asap, preferrably by phone or text message since lesley university is stupid and broke my internet.
home was okay. if it weren't for my mom, i would have had an amazing time. i got to see all of my favorite people, got crunked and etc. 'twas a good time.
apparently i have to buy christmas presents now. how lame.

so, apparently my "bitchy behavior" has ruined thanksgiving for my mother. oh, i've also ruined my face by getting a nose piercing, and am an "utter disappointment as a daughter". sweet ma! can't wait to come home for winter break.
bitch. way to ruin my first vacation since summer. i am not going to deal with that shit for an entire month for winter break. fuck that shit. fuck new york. i'll get an apartment in boston and stay there all winter if it means i don't have to deal with this shit.
i can honestly say, the only thing that has been really great so far is my best friend on the planet shaun, who made it his mission to cheer me up last night, and did a pretty decent job, with help from sam, dave and jamey.

i hate thanksgiving.
i want to go back to boston.
i want to go back to the ways things were a week ago, when i wasn't feeling this badly about everything.
i hate new york and just about everything about it, with a few small exceptions.
i am barely looking forward to winter break at all.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

so, i shot my constructed image project last night. i'm stoked to see how it turns out. i think i'll go to the darkroom today after work and process my film. depending on how tired i am when i'm done.
so anyways.
last night was wicked awesome. i was worried that i wouldn't find enough models, so alex, ashley and i went over to reed to do some recruiting. ashley and cassie were the only girls that we were, but they were into it, so they came over. so, i did everyones makeup, and laura, ashley, alex, ashley, lyndsay, cassie, jake and i went to the cemetary to shoot. on the way there, it started to pour, but we decided to shoot anyways. after we were out there for awhile, this guy yells out his window that hes worried about us because its so cold out and it's raining. we tell him we're doing an art project and we can't stop yet. about 5 minutes later, he comes outside and yells for us to come over to the gate. we send jake because he was my assistant last night. the guy hands jake a bottle of yellow tail chardonnay, tell us good luck, and says he "just supporting the arts" we are stoked, obviously. we finish up shooting, come back. put on dry clothes, order pizza, and drink chardonnay and malt liquor. and we listened to tina's iliad. because they are the greatest band on the planet. obviously.

i have the best idea ever for my constructed image project. it's going to be so exciting. i can't wait to shoot it tonight.
ohmigoodness it rules.
yuck. having a job means that i have to be awake a lot more than i'd like to be. but oh goodness. i have lots of money now, especially since i'm a server!
oh, and my nose piercing is the greatest ever.

in order for thanksgiving to be good, it must consist of the following things:
-seeing shaun, bryan and jamey a lot
-crunking with heather
-hanging out with justin as much as possible
-making some bling bling
-getting my hair did
-shooting lots and lots of film
-seeing emily
-seeing bunny
-seeing kristen
-eating pizza from picnic pizza (and getting it for free from seth)
-maybe hanging out with eileen?
-combining all of these things and people for the party of the century
-blahblahblah
-eating lots of stuffing (but not the kind in the bird. ew.) cause it's delicious.
-catching up on some books i want to finish
-helping my dad finish building my darkroom
the end.
i can't wait to see everyone, especially the ones that i haven't seen since summer or longer. and justin of course, because i always miss him. :) woo!

so, after an hour of being on hold this morning, i finally got through to financial aid and they found my loan check that they had misplaced and took my student account off hold. i felt like such an idiot, standing at the payphone, practically in tears, saying "please, i need to register for my classes. i talked to sallie mae 2 weeks ago and they said they were sending out the check." so finally. that's all settled. but honestly, can we talk about how ridiculous lesley university is? they are completely unorganized, and seem to have no idea what they are doing. the first woman i spoke to this morning told me that her files said that my check was waiting to be signed in student services, but when they looked it up, there was no record of it even being recieved, because lesley misplaced it before they even opened the check. honestly. i do not need this stess after the past week and with this research paper due next monday. i have enough stress as is. lord.
after that, i finally managed to track down my advisor and go over my prospective schedule for next semister so that she could go over it and make sure it was all good. if i am able to get the classes i want, next semister, i will have the greatest schedule on the planet. this is what it will be:
MONDAY
12:20PM-1:45PM WRITING AND THE LITERARY ARTS (HONORS) - M. Mcbride
1:50PM-3:15PM 20TH CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY - R. Liddell
TUESDAY
11:00AM-4:30PM FOUNDATION SEMINAR II - K. McVety
4:40PM-8:50PM INTRODUCTION TO DOCUMENTARY - J. Tuckerman
WEDNESDAY
12:20PM-1:45PM WRITING AND THE LITERARY ARTS (HONORS) - M. McBride
1:50PM- 3:15PM 20TH CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY - R. Liddell
4:40PM-10:10PM FOUNDATION LECTURE AND LAB II - C. Collins
and thats it. just 3 days. with no classes before 11. how sweet. i hope it goes through. i hope i hope i hope.
