a bit disjointed, but in need for an update  
I seriously worked out for the first time in about six years. IT was amazing. I felt so GOOD. Productive. I walked around feeling prettier, expecting everyone to notice. Good on me! It was only for about 40 minutes, but it was enough to make me want to do more. I don't think I hate it, I did get slightly bored in there though. Next time, I'll bring some music with me. Hopefully this starts a trend.

Also, I've managed to think of goals. I'm a goal oriented person, I think, and like setting them even if I never actually achieve them. I just like the feeling ofcrossing something off the list, you know? So, my goals for this summer are (thus far):

Get in shape!
Become less indecisive!
Think less! *similar to goal one
Watch as many movies as possible!

So far, I've seen:
Blindness
Milk
Revolutionary Road
Towelhead
Lars and the Real Girl (finally!)

In order of favorite, I've seen:
Milk
Lars and the Real Girl
Revolutionary Road
Towelhead
Blindness

Thank God for Netflix, eh?

It easily could've been you.  
I've just ended a year-long relationship. It's not you, but it's not me either. We're just different. You! You would be perfect for some other girl, a girl who wears a beret and has black, rectangular glasses and wear tights inside her Uggs. Me! Don't let the glasses fool you; I like sundresses. We could've been happy together, I know. But we would've had to fight for it. With the other, it just comes so easy. I still love you, gave you so much attention and time, but now just isn''t the right time for us. Eventually I'll be that type of girl, but not now.

It so easily could've been you. I wish I could have everything.

life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments  
I hope I live a life I am proud of. If I find that I am not, I hope I have the strength to start all over again.

We all change. Love changes, the world changes. If, throughout all this, we can find someone or something to hold on to, then that would be something spectacular indeed.

lol omg, my friends old roommate used to pee on the floor a lot.
and sometimes puke.
and then she'd take forever to clean it up.
and it would smell bad.

my friend called it quits when the night before a chemistry exam, she noticed that her roommate was trying to pee on the floor again and was like "do you need to go to the bathroom?" and then she led her to the bathroom (floor community bathroom) and she never came back... so anna had to go looking for her...
turns out she somehow got into another room and slept in someone elses bed.

welcome to firehouse!  
Yes, I know. Not much of an upgrade, but I'm well on way to having a professional career in the world of sandwiches!

So far, it's not too bad, actually. But I keep reminding myself that Subway wasn't too bad either, at first. But I feel like I'm more experienced this time around. I don't have too many illusions about my co-workers. Or *what a job should be*. I'm just there to collect my paycheck.

To be honest, the restaurant should be restructured. They have six people doing jobs three people could do. No wonder that most of my coworkers work about 2-4 days a week. They make sandwiches in an overly complicated way. Instead of just toasting the entire meat and the bread, they toast only the bread. As for the meat, no, they do not simply heat it up. They use water vapor! The steam from hot water is used to warm up the meat. What??? Me, being new, I feel like I'm in everyone's way. I try to take the initiative, but end up messing up. Oh well, I'll get it eventually.  But seriously, water vapor? Why? It's gonna take me awhile to get the hang of that machine.The restaurant has two tvs, two cash registers, and about five coolers. Their store is about twice the size of Subway (although, Subway was long while FHS is wide), yet I'm sure makes about half the amount of money. Daytime is alright, not busy but not slow, while night time is dead. I have no idea how they can afford to employ so many people. Maybe because they make their employees pay for their meals? Oh well, at least now I get breaks and Best Buy and Target are conveniently, a three minute walk away. I spent my break today looking at headphones.

I can stand it. I'm plan on working there for awhile, and I'm better equipped to handle shitty environments than I was before.

In other news, I've finally found my debit card! So scared, I didn't know how I would get through Black Friday without it.

I don't eat when I'm stressed. I feel thirsty, but never hungry. I just don't have an appetite.

I just submitted my application to the University of Chicago. As soon as I hit the button, I ate some lasagna and a salad.

Ten Things  

1) I don't work at Subway anymore.
2) I have a lot of yellow in my wardrobe.
3) I know where I stand with people, and where they stand with me.
4) I'm understanding more in French class.
5) I got a new agenda, and it's actually keeping me organized.
6) James Franco was on SNL, and he smiled a lot (the sktis were whack though, as usual).
7) My paycheck was $80 more than I expected.
8) I've paid for half the French trip.
9) I'm understanding everything in Pre-Cal, thus far.
10) My new social security card came in.
*11)  It's almost a month until my birthday.

I remember reading yours and thinking, "Wow, those aren't big things." Now I know why. It's the little things that keep you positive. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it literally took me about ten minutes to think of this stuff.

I met with a college advisor today in the library for an hour. She sat through my hysterics with an almost disinterested look on her face. I asked her if I was being dramatic. She said yes. It was quite possibly the most helpful meeting I've ever had regarding college. I told her about my top 4 interests, and she immediately came up with a list of 12 colleges I could look into, right off the top of her head. Anytime I asked how, she replied, "I'm really good at this."

I trust her more than I trust myself. I wish I had her confidence in me. She told me that the two top schools I've been interested in, Columbia U and U of Chicago, would probably make me miserable. I wasn't really surprised, after reading what current and former students had to say about those schools, I was getting that impression (BTW, StudentsReview is a great site where students critique their colleges, by reading both the positive and negative reviews you get a nice picture of the university). Baylor? I would hate it. I told her I was going to Fall Premiere and she said, "I want you to stop some random student while you're there, and ask them what they think about the tragic hero and Aristolian critiques. I bet you $5 they won't have any idea. They're not smart."

While today was a truly hectic day, me running all over the campus trying to figure out who to give my scholarshp application to and getting opinions on my essay ("STOP THE CONTRACTIONS!" was the resounding cry from all around), it lit a flame in me. I'm undecided, yes, but that's okay. No matter what my mom says, that's okay. This decision is going to come down to me, and fuck everyone else. I want to be happy, and I'm the only one who'll be living with the consequences of my actions.( on another note )

sucker for a smile  
A Jake Gyllenhaal look-alike came into Subway today, I kid you not. He looked just like him, but had lighter coloring (lighter hair, lighter eyes, etc). He even had the big, dopey eyes and the right facial hair, but a different smile. He called me 'hun'. I regret putting up my two week notice.

 I'm going to miss Subway, interacting with people of all diferent walks of life, the wealthy, the foreign, the good looking, etc. if only for two minutes, tops. I'm even going to miss some of my regulars, and I wonder if they'll walk in someday and wonder what happened to that black girl that smiiled all the time (or looked murderous, depending on the hour and person she worked with). I did tell one of my favorite customers (a self-described "democrat or anarchist") I was quitting, and he asked why, immediately. I hadn't seen him since late July, and, must admit, every now and then whenever 9 pm rolled around I wondered if he would come in. But anyway, I told him, and he quickly asked when. He asked if I was getting a new job, and I said maybe, and he asked where.  Told him, and he said he would stop in more often. I like feeling noticed, and like the idea of my absence being felt. Quite sappy, I know, but I am sometimes.

Got my internet back!  
This guy from att Roger/Ralph came and fixed it. Don't you feel dumb when something you have is broken for a long tiem and all it takes to repair it is one little thing? Like when you search all over for your keys but it's someone else who finds them on the keystand (which also happened to me this morning)? Yeah, I felt dumb when Ralph/Roger fixed it with a tiny little click. But I'm just glad to have my internet back.

And there's something I really wanted to post about, but now that I can actually do it I don't know what it is.

There are three more weeks left in summer, just about. And since, it's nearing its end, I can say that the summer was a success. By the time school begins, I should have $2000 for the trip to Paris, leaving me with a balance of just $1400 (a lot, but it's a huge upgrade from $3400). Still, when you add in other things I'll have to pay for like luggage, new clothes (can't go to Paris not looking good), and money for souvenirs and snacks, I'm not finished yet. But I'm doing all this myself, and chances on my mom will take care of those extra expenses for me.

Stop Picking on Obama's Baby Mama!  

Seriously? America's been showing it's true colors this presidential season. They've taken to calling Barack Obama's wife, his 'baby mama'. That's disgusting. They've been married for 20 years. You wouldn't see ANYONE call McCain's wife his 'baby mama'. Or even his 'trophy wife', which is what she is, woman is 20 years younger than he. It's disgusting. I haven't watched the news for months really, everything I heard sickened me. Now I remember why.

Took the SAT today. I feel like my entire school career has been just preparation for this test, a test I didn't study for until 3 days before. I think I did alright; not amazing but not horrible. I could've done better. But whatever, I'm just glad it's over. Funny, I was more nervous about choosing the colleges I would like to send my scores to than the actual test. Again, just glad it's over.

if i can't title a short story, what makes you think i can title an entry?  

My mom woke up today in a bad mood. I took a nap this afternoon, and she woke me up by asking why the light in my closet was on. I told her I didn't know, as I was sleeping and had been for the past hour. "Well, you should know." Alright.

I wish I was working. I'm an idiot. I don't read my schedule right, and forget times. I like Subway. I. Like. Subway. Or working, rather. It allows me to escape. I can have mindless converstaions with the people I work with, and sometimes the customers. I can escape the gloomy aura that surrounds the house, if only for a few hours. School and work are the lights in the fog, and now that one is shut off I can't say I'm happy. The friends I do have are either (a) working, (b) undependable flakes, or (c) stranded. Hell, there's some I wouldn't want to spend my free time with anyway, and I'm sure they feel the same about me. Some friends, eh?

Then again, there's always my sister. I like hanging out with her and her boyfriend/ex/?. With them I'm alone, yet not lonely, if that makes any sense.

Ay! Computers.  
When people said they were on the line with customer service agents for over an hour, I never believed them. But after talking to the Middle Eastern or South Asian men of HP customer service named, inexplicably, Ralph and Philip, I understand. Fifty minutes and twenty-six seconds.

I call them and complain that my computer isn't working properly. As in, at all. They tell me that because my warranty expired 736 days ago, I have to pay $54 for them to help me. I figure why not, but have some questions.
