End-of-Summer Spiel

I go back to school on Tuesday. I've been packing slowly but steadily for the past 2 weeks. I just need to get a giant bottle of conditioner, take my Venus handle out of the shower, gather up my various hair deelies, and do one last load of laundry. Somehow I think my room will still be a total mess, but what can you do?
I'm totally the worst packer ever. I'm always convinced that I've left something crucial behind and nothing can get me to not think that way. I've already resigned myself to the fact that I totally lost my awesome Dance Group sweatpants somewhere in the house [or gave them to my cousin on Memorial Day, but that's unlikely], I couldn't find a favorite sports bra, and I thought that I had at least one pair of tights that weren't holey beyond belief. I tend to make a million lists of things and obsessively update them but that seems to make me more paranoid ["Did I put that on the list?"]. It's a lose-lose, I guess.

Overall I've had a decent summer. Nothing entirely earth-shattering happened. Well, I did go on a totally awesome vacation, and discovered a new passion, embarrassed myself in front of my extended family, and had really really awkward hair. Looking back, I spent most of the time mired in the ice cream mines looking forward to being back with everyone at school so I didn't take a lot of time to stop and smell the summertime roses.

I am totally excited to get back up to school, though. I'm living in a sweet apartment with a couple dancers, a hot lesbian, a kind of sketchy dude, and a girl we found through an online roommate finder listing. I seriously can't wait to just be surrounded by people my own age again.
Getting back into doing schoolwork is going to be rough. I'm taking two classes that are definitely going to be essay-heavy, but I've got a low-level Spanish class and Public Speaking to even it out. It's a trip that I'm halfway done with this college thing; I'm not sure what exactly to think since it seems like I still have a LOT to get to if I'm intending to graduate as someone who knows something about anything.

We'll see how it goes.

I was going through my other/older/mostly obsolete blog trying to find a time-killing survey and came across this little guy. I thought it would be interesting for people who know me by this blog only to fill it out.

The Fill-in-the-Blanks Meme:
Copy the following and paste it into a comment, filling in the [blanks].

I [blank] JS.
I want to [blank] JS.
If JS were to [blank], I would [blank].
JS is fucking [blank].
JS and I are [blank].
If I were alone in a room with JS, we would [blank].
I wish JS [blank].
JS reminds me of [blank].
[blank]
is going to marry JS.
One day JS and I [blank].
JS has never [blank].
If JS were an animal, she'd be a [blank] because [blank].

Have fun!

Good luck! Enjoy the rest of college since it doesn't last. I still wish I was in college (luckily I can get away with still pretending I'm a college student)

I know you outside of this blog, so I won't do the meme.

however, I did want to post the following:

sounds like summer was good, but I agree with you completely about getting back to school. I can't wait to be back. and I can't wait to see you and hang out with you and have fun little get-togethers. you described your lesbian roommate as hot--I completely agree haha...if I were gay, I'd totally try to get with that...you'll have fun at 70, I'm wicked jealous you're living there but please come and visit us in bstone...a lot of us are gonna be in that building, so come visit.

I'm not making sense, but the point is that I've missed you and I cannot wait to be back in collegetown with you, doing crazy things with you, dying your hair, wearing your bra, sharing fun sexual stories, and laughing at guys with funny nicknames. unfortunately, jim p will no longer be there to laugh at, but there's always the ethnic wonder.

I'm not filling out that survey cause mine would be all pervy.

It is sad that summer is coming to an end.

Good luck back at school.
