Summertime!

Forgive me.
I haven't written anything for the longest time...not that all that much is new.

Lately, I've been spending my time going to school, working and seeing friends. I live the life of a person who doesn't really have a life hahaha. It's okay though, I know that the summer has a lot of interesting things in store for me, some of which I am not looking forward to and others that I wish would come faster.

Work, for many people, has been the biggest hassle lately. With every shift, I realize how much I am being taken advantage of and how worthless I feel when I leave there. I love my job. I know it's sad to think that a teenage girl could love working at a grocery store, but I do. I think it's all about the people though, because otherwise I would have been gone yesterday. I can't stand the fact that the supervisors are not being recognized for the work that they are putting in, salary-wise and with appreciation. On top of it all, I have a feeling that I am going to be doing night shifts all summer, and there is no way that I am going to be able to accept that. I guess time will tell, right? Man will it be hard for me though if I ever do leave... I'll probably go through a mild depression.

Other than work, and the usual boring stuff... summer time has been treating me pretty well so far. I have a whole bunch of concerts lined up this summer and I can't be more excited for the dates to come, especially for the Jimmy Eat World concert!

I have two weeks off in July, and I still don't know if I am doing anything exciting with/without my family, gotta start figuring that out soonish. Until then, tootles!

Morning Wishes

I am...

keeping my fingers crossed.

Lights, Camera, Action.

I have never been so excited to see a movie. It's crazy to think how I had never seen this show before but ever since I started getting into the show, I can't imagine my TV life without it!

45 days left, and I still have 3 seasons to go...eesh. I don't know how I am going to finish all of those episodes of Sex and the City in time for the movie! One thing I know for sure is that I am going to take that night off work so I can go and see the movie with my ladies, it's going to be an amazing night.

P.S. I cannot wait to go back to NYC! It's going to be that much more amazing the second time around!

Here's the trailer for the movie:

19 years young.

It has already been a week since my birthday party. I can't get over how fast time goes by...19 years old already and my life hasn't nearly begun. It scares me, but I think that that's half the fun- being scared about what the future holds.

Anyway, I had an amazing time last weekend with my favorite people. We all headed out for dinner at Wienstein & Gavino's on Crescent street. I had never been there before, but it was a very nice place. The food was amazing, but portions were big enough to feed a third world country in its entirety. Highlight of the meal was my Sex on the Beach, so yummy.

After that, we spent about half an hour trying to figure out what to do before Jess & Megan showed up. Finally, James, Kay and I made the hike up the hill to their car. It was then that I got to test out my heels and I must say that those shoes are a God-send.

We finally arrived at Sev7en at around 11:30pm to find a HUGE line up down the street. Luckily Selina is related to one of the owners so we got in no problem. It was then that the real fun began. It was Sev7en's one year anniversary so the club was packed! The music was amazing and they even had a live bongo drummer and belly dancer during one of the songs. It was great! We took so many pictures too! We also decided to buy a bottle of vodka instead of spending $10 each on a drink. It was worth it in the end, despite the fact that some pitched in WAY more than others...*cough*KATE*cough*... I'll pay you back somehow, someday.

All in all, I had an amazing time!

Down

I don't like the feeling of tears down my face... but more so, the way I feel on the inside.
I know I made a big deal over nothing, I'm sorry.

"It's icky... like plums or dentist appointments."

Okay so I was potentially trying to think of an excuse as to why I haven't written on here in so long and well, no excuse is going to do the trick...so I give up.

Basically, life hasn't changed. Each day is zipping by and I seem to be standing still. I don't know, it's a weird feeling really. In 10 days I will be turning 19...another year older. I can remember clearly my 18th birthday and I'm sure I'm going to be saying this every year until I turn 85 and essentially forget just about everything. It's crazy how time goes by so fast. I don't understand how it does.

On the other completely contradictory side, I hope summer comes fast. I am anxiously waiting to finish this semester and get the summer routine started. Although not much more interesting than my everyday routine, I can't wait for my bank account to fill up, get a potential tan (or sun burn, whichever comes first), see friends and go on vacation. I have no idea where I will be dragging my family this year, but I know that I won't be spending my two weeks off at home, doing nothing. Home is a comfy place to be, but I wanna see and be a part of different surroundings. It is for that reason that I can't wait to go back to Europe. There are so many places that I want to see (to name a few: Ireland, Switzerland, Spain and Greece (especially Santorini)) that I cannot wait to get my butt out of this country.

I'm so happy that I have split my ING account into two sections, both equally important: University and Travelling. I know that I am going to need both accounts a lot in the near future. All my summer money is heading right there.

As for right now, I think I am going to go and watch some Sex in the City. I am officially addicted. I don't think that this addiction will surpass my Will & Grace drug, but it's definitely entertaining...*cough*unlike Panic!'s new cd*cough* Ugh. I think I ranted enough about that with Mel.

Anyway...back to school tomorrow. Gotta remember to set my alarm clock for 6:30am..Just perfect.

Lots of love,
From: Miranda
(For all you Sex In The City lovers)

P.S. Note to Self: Consider joining a gym. I'm going to have to start wearing a parachute soon.

My Better 1/4s

Yesterday I spent the night with my favorite people. It never fails to amaze me how even after a night of doing nothing but relaxing, talking, eating (hahaha) and laughing I can feel so... rejuvenated. I know that that sounds very "maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline" but it's true- my friends are like a breath of fresh air. It's great knowing that I can go to them for anything really and they won't turn me away or judge me for it, what a great feeling.

I wish I told them how much I appreciate them more often, they really need to hear it. If they only knew...<3

I really had a great night.
And now... homework summons me.
