I’m going to have to be a little honest everyone; I am no longer a white American busser at a Mexican restaurant. Actually, I haven’t officially quit my job, but I’m calling my manager later today to break the news. It’s summer time, and I’ve been working a second job for my cousin who owns a candy store, and honestly it’s a much better job.
So much in my life has changed since I’ve last talked to you guys, how has everyone survived without knowing so much about my life? I’ve been to college. I went in majoring in Psychology with a minor in music, switched to a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a minor in music, switched my minor to biomedical sciences, and now I’m majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Psychology. I’m basically a pre-medical major, I just like saying ‘Cell and Molecular Biology’ and watching people get queasy. Thankfully, this major has nothing to do with biology, I don’t even have to take the introductory Bio class.
I’m rooming with the greatest miracle in my life; Kaitlin. Around the time I last started blogging, I met Kaitlin online through the University, and never have I found someone that is so much like me. I can’t even begin to explain how much our lives match. She lives in the middle of nowhere, loves to play music more than almost anyone I know, she’s a photography major who’s taking 21 credit hours (I know.) and playing in the marching band. She has no drama in her life, and we spend every second together (very exaggerated, especially right now, because it’s summer time). We thoroughly enjoy going on adventures, Happy Meal toys, and diving into fountains illegally. She’s one of the greatest gifts in my life.
That boy I dated for so long is no longer in the picture, leaving me to deal with my first ever broken heart. It’s the worst experience that I’ve ever had to deal with, because it never seems to go away. I dream almost every night about him coming back and telling me he misses me. We’ve stopped talking completely, after being friends for years. I feel pretty awful too, he’s going through a rough time with his family and now… Has no one to turn to. I’m just too afraid of falling in love with him again to grow a pair and help him out. It hurts every day. But I have some pretty fabulous college friends that have seriously helped ease the pain, I’ve never been so grateful to have great friends.
I’m still really short. I just got all of my hair whacked off last night by an up-and-coming haircutting star named Kayla, she’s putting purple low-lights in it on Monday, and I’m really excited. I also have this incredibly kick-ass tan going on. Apparently if you lay in the same position in the sun for hours at a time and burn over and over and over, your body looks great. Well, maybe not your body, but your tan is awesome. We’re working on the body thing. I’ve got five weeks left until my triumphant return to college, I think I can trim down a little. Wish me luck.
My life has been relatively null and void of magic. There are days where I still see it in great people, but not as much anymore. I often see it in helping others. My cousin, the daughter of the woman I work for, was a huge help in the whole heartbreak process. We’ve compiled this list of things that I’m going to do to occupy my life (because heartbreak can only be cured through distractions, apparently), and that list (as well as my cousin, Lex) is pretty full of magic. I’m going to be a very accomplished woman someday in my life. I’ll speak three languages, play the piano, be able to run two miles without collapsing (so not going to happen.), I’ll be well read, and become extraordinarily obsessed with a random band I’ve never chosen to listen to. We decided on the Rolling Stones. I’m a huge fan, now. (Random fact; I’m listening to the Ting-Ting’s right now.) I’ve also listened to more Muse this summer than I ever have in my life, which is pretty awesome. I highly recommend their album; H.A.A.R.P. as well as the band The Feeling. You might remember them from the song ‘Sewn’ from 2006, or ‘Fill My Little World’. They’re strictly British (I can’t even find their music on Amazon, which is tragic.) but really awesome. Also, Cartel is pretty awesome. (I’m now listening to ‘Say Anything (Else)’ by them.)
Hmmm… Other things that have happened in my life… I’ve learned that I can rock a mean pair of skinny jeans because of my rather chicken legs. I have a very enjoyable celebrity crush on Adam Young from Owl City, who I get to go see in September. I’m going to start donating plasma so that my friends and I can take a trip to California before I go and study in France for a semester (I can’t even tell you how excited I am for that.), and I’d really enjoy getting my nose pierced, we’ll see how that goes.
Oh! I own my own business. I make paper stars into jewelry or fill jars with them and sell them online. It’s actually a really sweet gig. I’ve been working on stars for weddings right now, my hope is that they’re a huge hit. I’m making them by the thousands (literally.), and if this doesn’t work, I’ve had requests for stars for Breast Cancer awareness (I’m a bad ass.). Anyway, it’s a really awesome ‘job’, which is actually a hobby with benefits. (Self-promotion; check me out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Joyce013)
I think that’s all for now, folks. I’m going to go burn some CDs and sticker some bags for the candy shop. (More promotion; facebook search ‘Sweeties – Home of Very Best Cookies’ and order a box of cookies to have shipped to someone you love dearly. Or me.)
I hope everyone has a great day. Do something good.
