i know big shocker, i'm actually updating! i guess it would be more shocking if i updated consistently for once, but it just takes so much time. just kidding, anyways here goes nothing...

interning has been....good and bad.  some days are really slow, with nothing to do and no calls, but some days i have a lot of fun with the crazies that call, and the people i work with.  so far, it hasn't been too awkward being a democrat in a republican office, but there are some moments where i just want to scream, pull my hair out, etc.

work is fine.  nothing really exciting there, never really is, but i'm thankful i actually have i job earning money.

the family is driving me absolutely insane.  everyday its something different, but i just keep telling myself that i only have twenty some days left at home and soon i will be back at school.  i am excited for our vacation though.  i was really certain that we wouldn't be able to go away but we decided that after the crappy year we've all had, we deserve a week at the beach.  i'm sure there will be drama, but as long as i can sit at the water's edge with a book and a beach chair, i'm a happy girl.

car search has been extremely stressful.  i say this everyday, but i truly don't think there is a car out there for me now.  everything is either too old or way too new, meaning out of my price range.  as the days at home fade away, i'm starting to come to terms with not having a car for school, at least for the first few weeks.  granted, if i don't get a car before i go back, then i really can't get a car for awhile, because i won't be able to look at it, or test drive it.  whatever, i'm not going to worry about.  i still have some time, and things, for once, could work in my favor.

heard about the shuman, and surprise surprise, i didn't win.  i mean, i didn't really think i was going to, and i should keep telling myself that it was an honor just to be nominated.  but i have to admit, a little part of me was really hoping i could pull this off.  it gets a little frustrating being nominated for things, and never being able to actually win.  i just have to slay those vampires, which is harder than i thought. (get the reference?)

i've decided to audition for a show in carlisle, that i'm hoping will be a good experience for me.  it will be weird being involved with another theatre organization, but i'm up for a new adventure.  i am a little worried, though, that i'll be able to handle rehearsals on top of schoolwork, but i did it in high school, and i was involved with A LOT more in high school than college, so it should be fine.  just more vampires to slay, i guess.

well this has been sufficiently informative, till next time, peace out kids!

yea i know, its been awhile, but as a "first-year" i'm pretty busy...anyway let's see, what's left to report?

my first year of college is two weeks away from being over.  this time in two weeks, i will be a sophomore, IN COLLEGE! what is that?  i honestly can't believe that at all.  i can remember with specific detail my first day at dickinson.  i was incredibly nervous.  the night before me and the rest of the fab four had a great night and we listened to the brat pack one last time as i took all of them home.  i remember crying while driving, which probably wasn't a good idea.  saying goodbye to those girls was so hard.  i definitely broke down once i got home.  the drive just seemed to take forever, i desperately wanted to get there but on the other hand, there wasn't anything i wouldn't give just to have one more night of summer in catasauqua.  once we got here there was drama, but that's to be expected.  the work-study stuff sucked (as did working!) and i think i might have cried myself to sleep.  that first week was definitely hard.  i hated not knowing anyone.  i hope i can make it better for the first-years next year as an orientation leader.  i can't get over how much i've changed over the past 8? months.  not only that, but how much things in my life have changed.  i've lost friends that i thought were going to be life long pals, gained some new ones, people who were closer than close don't talk anymore, and things we used to just joke about are now a reality (figure it out anna! lol).  sometimes i wish we could just go back to september/october when it was all easier.  but i know we can't do that and i just need to move on.  the year is almost over and next year is going to be completely different, at least i hope.  i'm looking forward to the summer and my sophomore year, its all i can do.  i just need to get through the next couple of days and i'm free.  well not completely free but i won't be in carlisle and right now thats looking pretty good.  i'm not saying that i don't love dickinson, because i do and i can't imagine being anywhere else, but right now, i really need to be in catasauqua.

i got an internship for the summer which is incredibly exciting.  it doesn't start until june 24, which will work out perfectly because rosem's graduation will be over, and it will be after the concert that i'm going to see in june.  i'm really looking forward to it.  its going to be a lot of work, but i'm ready for a new challenge.

room draw was also this week.  i actually didn't get screwed like most people, which is also incredibly exciting.  i already got to see my room, and it should be a good time.  while i'm not too happy that it's literally in the foyer, i just have to remember that i definitely lucked out compared to other people.  i'm in the dorm i wanted and thats all i should think about.

i really should be writing my paper right now.  actually make that plural, papers.  i have three to write before the end of school and i think i might go insane before they're over.  i would theoretically like to finish my IR paper by the end of the weekend, but who knows if that will happen.  it would be nice, because then i could worry about my english paper, which i need to do very well on, and my ballet paper, which should be nothing at all.  i think its ridiculous that i have to write a paper for my gym.  seriously it sucks.

well i've put off my paper long enough.  i will get it done.  ok bye now

hey there, hope all is well out there, things are so-so here, i'm so ready for this semester to be over, its not even funny

hmm let's see what's new...had a really chill weekend, after a not-so chill weekend, lets start with last weekend. on friday, i got free rita's with friends and then saw milk, which was fabulous i might add, then on saturday i was the date of my ex-boyfriend turned biffle at his frat's cocktail party, it was a lot of fun, got to meet some of his brothers, which was good, also told someone to fuck off, which probably wasn't good, but he interrupted me! anyways, there was friend drama that weekend, so thats never good. 

moving on to this weekend, went to a dance with a friend friday night, even though i felt like crap, didn't have a lot of fun, but whatever.  then had a long conversation with the biffle, which was great because we haven't really hung out like that since he started pledging.  i can't wait till its over for him, i want my best friend back. let's hope that ends soon *fingers crossed*  anyways, saturday night i did absolutely nothing, which was horribly needed.

i've got an obscene amount of work to do this week, not just schoolwork but stuff for extracurriculars, BUT then on saturday i'm going to d.c. with friends and i am SO excited for that.

only like 38 days until i move home for the summer, can't wait

well that's all folks

i really should update more, i just forget about it and only seem to remember to update when i'm home on break

as i sorta stated before, i'm on spring break, WHOO, no, i didn't go anywhere exotic or warm for that matter, just came home to good old catasauqua, which is fine cuz i got to see my girls from high school and we have an excellent time.  just the usual dinner and craziness.  after i took melissa and teresa home, dana and i decided to hang out for a little longer, since we didn't have anything better to do.  that was fun, just being ridiculous with her. leaving anna a video message. lol. I'M GUNNA PUNCH YOU IN THE ELBOW. te he he. then we went on a sheetz run, as always. good times, as always. lets see what else....oh yea, so i hate doctors. i'm so sick of being sick, its ridiculous, just tell me what's wrong and fix it. how hard is that? apparently its pretty tough.

it desperately needs to be summer right now. this semester is going by so slow and yet so quickly. its just been a whirlwind. i can't believe my first year of college will be over in just over six weeks. that just doesn't seem right. i can't wait to have three months to relax and chill out, and yet, i don't want to leave school at all. its a weird feeling. i can't describe it.

hmm. what else? umm, no news on the boy front. but that's to be expected. i've been told (by many) to just go for it. but unfortunately, i am not the type of person to be like, "hey, boy i've liked for over a year, i've liked you for over a year" its just one of my many downfalls. plus we're at different schools and i don't really know if its worth putting my heart on the line and maybe messing up a really good friendship, that i value a lot. god, love sucks. and this isn't even love. lol. being in "like" sucks. well that sounds stupid.

well i guess that's all for now. hopefully i'll remember to update more often. yea, i doubt that will happen.

peace out kids!

winter break is quickly coming to an end, which makes me happy to get back to school, but also sad to leave my friends from home

break has gone well, reconnecting with my friends from home makes me wonder how i ever left them back in august, i'm sure once i get back to school it will get much easier but those girls have been apart of my life for so long and they just make life in a small town so much more bearable, so it was amazing to get to hang out with them, as well as the coolest cousin, she truly is the reason i can stand my family, i'm glad we've hung out so much this break, and made plans for each of us to visit one another at school, can't wait for that

hmmm...let's see..other break highlights.....surprisingly had a really good time spending christmas and the following couple of days with my mom's side of the family, we always seem to have a decent time but this year seemed different, got a chance to hang out with all of my cousins at one time, with just us, its weird to think we're all grown-up and most of us living away from our parents

had a very busy week, tuesday was spent in the city with my biffle seeing shrek the musical, the show was decent, seen better, but whatever, had an awesome time with dana, we always seem to have a good time, being ridiculous but loving every minute of it, then i spend yesterday in the city with some friends from college, which of course was amazing, love them <3

i have to mention that a certain someone's birthday is coming up so happy early birthday to my bff ANNA!!! love you and i hope your birthday is amazing and i can't wait to see next week!

anyways thats all folks

well its that time again, i know its been awhile, but i've been a little busy - you know trying to get through college and what not - so anyways here goes nothing:

hmm....thanksgiving break was amazing, i had such a good time with my friends from home, it was really great to see all of them and catch up, we ate some taco dip, made some hilarious videos and just had a really fun time.  i should have expected that - we always have a pretty good time.  the rest of break was relatively boring, it was good to have a break though

got back to school after a very long drive back (a two hour trip took over four)....the next night i was forced by my friends to go to the hospital, for the second time since i've been at school, it was not fun - spent over five hours in the ER and they couldn't even really do anything for me, got to sleep in the next day - no classes or work for me :) - also found out some interesting news.....let's just say the ex-boyfriend and i are finally cool, everything is much better there, and i think we're closer now then ever before and that makes me so happy

something that doesn't make me happy is that my two best friends got into a huge fight and now they're not talking :( its taken a toll on me because i feel like i'm in the middle of it even though i love both of them very much

after a hellish last week of classes, i had two finals - they weren't too bad and now i just await my grades - not too happy about that - had an awesome last night at school with some great friends - it was a good ending to a pretty bad two weeks

now i am home for over five weeks and i'm already bored and its only been a week

well thats all folks

i get my school work done, boring i know

this is my first ever post, and i have no idea what to write

its been a long semester so far, september and october went by so fast and i don't know how i feel about that.  here are some highlights from september and october highlights:
1) first ever friday night dickinson football game AND WE WON!
2) got a boyfriend :)
3) got an A on my first college paper
4) went to new york to visit the coolest cousin and saw [title of show]
5) fall break : anna came home with me, got to see dana, went to see spring awakening (AMAZING)

the end of october took a turn for the worse, my grandfather had to be rushed to the hospital and unfortunately passes away three days later.  i had to go home for the funeral, and it was a lot harder than i thought i was going to be.  i never really knew the man, and yet i was bawling, it didn't really make sense to me.  then my luck was briefly interrupted by the amazing election night where i had a super awesome day/night.  the dems party was amazing, it was a new experience for me to be surrounded by people who believed in the same things i believed in.  then this friday, luck was not on my side.  the boyfriend and i broke up, it was not fun, and its hard just being friends with him now. oh yea thats the other thing, we literally went from being together and then twelve hours later, he expected us to go back to the way we were before our relationship.  its been hard, but i'm finally getting over it.  i realize that its stupid to dwell on things that i can't change, so moving past it.  it also brought me and a new friend closer, so i guess good can come out of a bad situation.

i got some really awesome news today.  my sister was going to pick me up on the tuesday before thanksgiving, but now she doesn't have class on tuesday SO she's going to come up monday night and sleep over and then we'll go home tuesday.  i'm super excited, rosemary and i always have a good time, and i'm excited that all my friends will get to meet her.

my birthday is coming up on saturday.  it should be a good time, the whole group is going out to dinner, and then we're going to apollo night (a talent show at my school).  then on sunday, my LC is heading to new york to see an off-broadway play.  the coolest cousin is planning on attacking me on the streets of nyc so that will be awesome. 

thanksgiving is quickly approaching and i can't wait to go home.  i wasn't so excited to go home for fall break, but i literally can't wait to go home for thanksgiving.  i think its because all my high school friends will be home as well, and i'm planning a typical englert extravaganza for wednesday night.  we're breaking out the tent and the space heater, gunna whip up some taco dip, and let the kids go at it.  i can't wait, it should be a rockin good time, at least i hope it will be.

well thats all for now. check back later for more andrea-related news :)
