A good week!

So i finished Harry Potter, I won't give anything away, but I will say that it was indeed awesome!

I got to see my awesome, awesome friends Srav and Michelle yesturday. I haven't seen either in a long time and it was nice to get to catch up with them.

I'm going home for a bit this weekend and I am so excited!! I haven't gotten to hang out with my mom in a bit and I miss some of my at home friends.

Well I hope all of you are having a great summer! I can't believe it is almost August, luckily for us Drexel kiddos we have until the end of September before we start up the fall term!!

HARRY POTTER!!!

Ok so I am an eleven year old at heart, most definitely, and I will be in line at midnight to purchase my 7th and final Harry Potter book tonight!!! I can't believe this is the end, how sad! But I will be locking myself away this weekend to read it, if anyone so much as whispers what the end is I will be so sad. Oh man I'm so excited but a little sad that it is all ending.

I saw the 5th movie last weekend. It def. wasn't as good as the other movies. Like they could have been movies on their own without the other ones in the series to support them; but this most recent movie felt like a sequel. I mean obvi you wouldnt go see just the 5th movie if you hadnt seen the first 4 or if you hadnt read the books, but that is no reason to slack on the filmaking.

Ok thats my deal with that

Talk to you at the end of like 1,000 pages of Rowling genius

Orientations!!

Ok so orientations have started and I am having a blast. It has been so nice to finally meet the students who I have been talking to from facebook and future dragons! The Dac Pac event has been really fun, if you haven't been to orientation yet then you should definitely stop by and check it out! Other than that the ice cream socials have been a huge success! It has been so great to see some pre-froshes come out of their shell and start dancing.
Other than that this week has been super busy, between interning, and working, and orientating, I have barely had a moment to catch my breath! Well I am definitely enjoying this summer, however the gross humidity has got to stop!

See y'all around!

4th of July

So this 4th of July was indeed a rainy one, but it was still nice to have a day off in the middle of the week. I got to wake up late, relax, and hang out with my friends. I had the chance to stay in for a while and watch "Independence Day", a truly amazing moving, but later on I had the opportunity to go out with my friends as well. Some of my friends from home came in and we walked down to the parkway early to watch Hall and Oates and see the fireworks. It started to rain though and I got really drenched so I ended up coming back to campus early but I still got to see the fireworks from my window.
In all this was a very relaxing holiday. I hope y'all had a great time too!

Interviews and Internships

So I was anticipating a long lonely summer, with most of my friends at home, far away from me at home. Not that I don't love my fellow DWCs but I knew I would miss my other friends so much. I have really found a great group of friends here at Drexel and I was so sad to see them leave for the summer. Luckily for me almost all of them are on a fall/winter co-op cycle. Why is that so good? They are here on campus to go to interviews for their co-ops now! For the past week or so my friends have been back on campus for a day or so at a time and they are so awesome, they stopped by to visit me after their interviews!

In other exciting news, aside from working as a DWC this summer I also have an internship downtown! Drexel really helped to open some doors for me when it came to getting this internship. This summer is definitely shaping up to be a great one!

The beach!!

Yes! Summer has truly arrived. I spent the weekend at the shore. While the traffic there and back was obscene and i was able to take decent naps in the car ( i wasn't driving, lol) it was so worth it. I got to see some family members who came in from Nebraska, they usually come out to visit once a year. I have really learned to appreciate the shore so much more because of them, they drive two days to get to the beach. I think a three hour traffic jam in comparison is not anything to complain over.
Anywhoo, getting to see them again was so great! Going down the shore in general was awesome. I met up with some of my super-cool friends from Drexel Sunday morning and spent the day with them. I think it's nice that two very different parts of my life can merge!
In all it was a great weekend and a great way to kick-off the summer. I might go down again next weekend to see my family off. Right now I am just going to enjoy the fact that I avoided suburn and will try not to day-dream too much, lol.

Old Blogs, New Tricks

Ok so finals are over and summer has begun, so last week I was sitting around I realized I hadn't been on my Xanga in ages. So I logged on and proceeded to read through all of my old posts. I was mildly amused with my random posting of song lyrics and cute little anecdotes about the boys I was crushing on at the moment but it was kinda lame. Honestly, who really wanted to know that I had Duran Duran stuck in my head on April 6th? Whatever it just cracked me up a bit. So pretty much instead of reading through old diaries from middle school we now have online diaries to remind us of bad hair choices and awkward encounters. Gotta love it!

Speaking of mildly random, thats pretty much what that last paragraph was, whoops. Sorry to get all philosophical there, it probably wont happen again, lol.
