01:30 am - back in town
So I'm back in Columbia. My apartment is wonderful. So far my room mate megan is wonderful.
I got a beautiful ball python snake from Jon named Petra.
The paper is just starting up and so far things are going well. Classes start on Thursday. I have classes on Thursday and that's it this week. I don't have any Friday classes so it's really nice.
So overall, things are good with me.

12:01 pm - Preparing
So my internship is winding down and I've sort of got one foot out the door.
I'm already planning stories for the Metro section when I get back, but even more planning is going into my apartment. I'm starting to get worried about my mattress because I ordered it a couple weeks ago and I haven't hear from them again to tell me when it'll get to my apartment. I really need it to be there by the time I'm there otherwise I'll have no place to sleep.
But I'm sure it'll all work out.
I've got nothing to do at my job right now because I guess it's my last full week so whatever. Maybe I'll call old story people to do follow-up stories or something.
Very very excited about having an apartment...my own place *sigh*
Also looking forward to seeing Jon again, since I haven't seen him since the wedding.

11:58 pm - about that time
So I've been home for about a month now and I have once again reached my threshold of loneliness.
Thankfully Jon will be here on Thursday so I should be able to hold on to my sanity till then at least.
The internship is really cool. I'm learning so much and getting to do all kinds of cool things. Unfortunately it's mostly high school graduations right now but oh well. Once that's over it should be back to doing cool things.
I'm really glad that this will be my last summer here in NJ. Next summer I plan on staying in Cola.

09:05 pm - Done with 2nd year of college!
School is done! Horray!!
I wound up doing really really well this semester, my lowest grade is a B+! I'm getting really excited about my internship. I talked to my boss the other day and he told me that I'm going to be the one that goes out to the polls and reports back with all the information on who won and etc. or I'm going to be the person who keeps track of all the poll results. I'm definitly a bit nervous about doing something so important as that but excited.
I'm now living in what is going to be my apartment next year with my friend megan. It's soo nice to have a place that feels like mine, like home down here.
My mom is going to head down here on Saturday, and so I should be in Jersey late Sunday or early Monday. I just hope that I'll have time to do some stuff before i have to go to work on Tuesday at 3pm.
Ok, bye bye now.

10:07 pm - spring break
Key Largo was amazing. The house was soo pretty and we were right near the marina so we could hear the water at night and fall asleep to it. *sigh* soooo nice. We're thinking of going back after finals and bringing a bunch of people because it can sleep like 12 with no one on the floor. Soooo nice.
Got some stuff to do this week, and then my birthday this saturday! Then tests and such next week and then I'll be in Jersey for the weekend to go to my cousin's wedding shower. :-) I haven't been in Jersey since winter break...Looong time.
I can make it.
Mar. 9th, 2007
11:04 am - spring break
I am going to Key Largo for Spring Break with some girls (Megan, Liz and Sarah) from the Gamecock. Sooo excited to lay in the sun and be lazy. *Sigh* I need this very much.
Things are okay.

12:26 am - not giving into the sickness
I got the internship with the Express-Times that I wanted. AND it pays! which is amazing.
this weekend was..eventful. Jon decided to stop drinking and I, being the supportive girlfriend that I am, have decided to give it up with him for a while.
The paper is going well. Nick and I really just need to come to meetings with story ideas. that shall be my goal for the next meeting to come with things that are going on and dates they need to be in by. We have alot of people "looking into" stuff. No more. heh.
I'm fighting off a cold. Should prob go to bed.

09:49 am - This semester
So far things have been going well. My classes are alright, the paper is fun and alot of work. I am waiting to hear back about the Express-times internship. Matt and I had lunch and it wasn't horribly awkward. So all it ok in the world.
This weekend=big time party. Friday is Liz's Blue Party and Saturday Jon and I are going to HH again for his friend Ryan's 21st B-day.
*sigh* I need to pick one of those to not be completlty wasted for.. i think prob ryan's party since I don't know Jon's friends as well. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.
:-)

11:21 pm - Overall...
So my break wasn't all bad. I had a great time on New Years Eve with Kaija, although i drank too much. I was impulsive and I'm glad.
I also got the chance to interview for an internship this summer at the Express-Times today, which was great. It went really well and i think i have a good chance at it. But we'll see.
BUT tomorrow I GO BACK TO SC!! I am soo excited. I get to spend a few days in Hilton Head chilling with my boy and then it's back to school and to work on the Metro section.
This is going to be a great year.

Now i remember why i hate coming back here. because i get so lonely that i seriously go slightly insane. I know that i could call the people i haven't spoken with in 2 years and reconsile and have fun. But that's not the way i'm lonely i miss my life in SC and the people there who know me. If i don't get an internship here this summer i will try my hardest to spend as much time as i can anywhere else. New jersey depresses me.
On the brighter side, I am going to NYC with Kaija for new years and am very much looking foward to it.
Dec. 21st, 2006
05:26 am - new jersey
I love being back here with nothing to do, but something about having all this time to think makes me go slightly nuts. too much time to think i guess. I start doubting things and people and so much. It makes me dread coming home a bit.
Home, that's a whole other issue that comes to the surface when i'm here. NJ is not my home, and neither is Columbia. Hopefully when i get an apartment that has my things in it, not stored away every few months it'll feel like home. Or when i stop being so anxious about the people i'm meeting and the insecurities that i have with friends.
I am now talking to Will. I haven't talked to him in years. It's strange because talking to him makes me realize how much of an impact he's had on me and that i've actually thought about him quite a bit in the past year.
I should just go to bed...

08:16 pm - Christmas?
So i am now preparing to go home yet again, this time for Christmas. I'm glad to have this semester over, but I will miss my friends here when I'm at home. I'd really like to see some of you all in Jersey when I get home, but I don't know how possible that is. I guess we'll see. I just don't want to spend my break watching dvds and bad tv. I'm listening to Postal Service for like the first time in 6 months. I forgot how nice it is to have music in the backround instead of say the TV. I am going to have a new roommate next semester and I hope that she's never around like my old roommate hehe. no, but seriously i just hope she's not a big ol' bitch. I guess we'll see. I suppose i really won't be in the room that often anyway because I'm going to be in the GCK office alot of the time, as assistant metro editor. I'm very excited about it. i hope that we can get all our stuff together over the break and make it a great new edition to the daily gamecock. Ok I think I must go and knit some more hehe. I'm going to have nice last night out tonight, hopefully. I'm going out to dinner with Becca and then over to Megan's and maybe Zach's. it should be a great way to spend the night before i have to get to the airport at 8am hehe. Soo...Jersey here i come again.

09:59 pm - Thanksgiving
I am sooo excited to go home and see my family.
I have been missing them like crazy for some reason. I can't wait to see everyone! hehe.
I do have a bit of work to do over break though, like reading some major shit for history and sending stuff out for internships, but in any case I shall be back in Jersey. :-)
downside=flight leaving tomorrow at 6:35AM!! ughness. Oh well at least I'll have the whole day to spend with my fam.

02:30 am - Transformation is the scent on the air
I just went to my first ever yoga class and it was amazing. It was aromotherapy yoga. I am hooked. The one of the first things i thought when i left was "God i wish i could do that everyday...everyhour...all the time"
So if anyone wants to donate money to the "Gina really wants to take yoga classes at least twice a week but is really poor and can't afford it" fund. It would be greatly appreciated.
Ohmmmmmmm...

10:19 pm - Falling into fall
Camping was wonderful. Fall break in general was wonderful.
I need to go camping again...and often.
For some reason I'm missing my family like crazy. But I'll see them sorta soon. Like a month-ish. *sigh*
Oh i saw The Departed, which was good and Man of the Year, which was ok.
I feel so different here..in the city. It's strange how much geography can change you.

04:30 pm - a much needed break is coming
This past weekend was alot of fun. Another party at Douchebag (Zach) house, this one was actually a party too. it was his birthday. Good times. Then Saturday was the GCK girls night party, which was a ton of fun. Although it went much longer than i was prepared for heh. but it was great fun. This week has been pretty stressful so far. Got a C on my history midterm and had my logic midterm today, which wasn't fun. Also had to send in a story for my Jour 202 class, as well as write a story for the Gamecock. Thankfully Wednesday is fall break and Jon and I are going to HH for a few and then camping! Like real camping with hiking and having to carry all our stuff and everything. I'm excited. It'll be nice to not have to worry or stress for a few days.
I need to be more constant about my meditation. I do it so randomly. I need to do it like everyday, but it's hard because if the room mate is here i don't want to. Oh well.
Sooo looking foward to Fall Break.
:-)

07:45 pm - No longer a question
This weekend was amazing. Although one of those times where looking back on parts of it is much better than while it was going on. But hanging out with Marya and then going to Savannah was wonderful. Eating good Indian food and getting the stuff to make my own homemade chai.
I learned alot about myself this weekend. I wish the easy way was the true way, but alas it is not.
I am fasting today and it's pretty hard. It's suprising how much we rely on food...three meals a day is really waaaay more than you actually need. I think I am going to fast every sunday from now on. I think I am also going back to being a vegatarian. It's really not very different than what I've been doing anyway.
Changes changes changes

02:05 pm - Bulgarian girls
Last weekend was fun. Got a bit tipsy at the party thingy at Douchebag's house. but it was a good time. Stayed up really late. heh
This weekend we are going to Hilton Head again... to see our friend Marya, she's from Bulgaria. It should be fun.
this week sucked for some reason though. i'm glad it's over. I've been looking foward to the weekend since like sunday. heh.
It should be lovely and sweet

04:24 pm - Changes
So the game was actually alot better than expected. We were really close to taking it to overtime. It was highly enjoyable.
Tonight- party at Douchebag's house. hah.
I have nothing to be sad or worried about, but i still feel this anxiousness. Like i'm waiting for something...maybe I am and I just don't know what it is yet.
Sep. 28th, 2006
09:28 am - done-sies
So i had a talk with matt-ish... I imed him just because and after a while he more or less told me that he doesn't want to talk to me ever again, he feels like i shit on him and he wants to move on without ever thinking about me again. s0o0o0 yeah. I guess that's done. I just hope that he'll get over it eventually.
----------------------------------------
Today is going to be Jon's first USC football game. I'm kind of excited for him, even though it'll prob be a really shitty game since we're going to get our asses handed to us by Auburn. But still.
