don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay

i love how i spent the entirety of this semester anticipating spending the time between finals and south africa with my family back in california. less than 2 weeks out and i'm still vacillating. how very "me" of me.

seriously, why is it so hard for me to make summer plans-related decisions? i seriously must be the weirdest college kid to get stressed out over SUMMER. fml.

that being said, i didn't make any decisions today, but i did check out a great apartment in crystal city (provided i do stay) this evening. it's only a block from the metro, a 15 minute walk from work, the apartment is fabulous (i'd get my own bedroom and bathroom), the roommate is friendly (a friend of a friend), and the rent can't be beat. paul (the roommate)'s lease ends on the same week that i leave for south africa, so it works out perfectly.

i'm also applying for some internships (both paid and unpaid) in washington to give my life meaning and perhaps supplement my income. trying to find an internship in southern california is a lost cause for me since i'm not a marketing major. there's some really interesting ones out there right now, but i don't know how any employer would feel about me skipping out 7 weeks into my internship (even if it were unpaid... ugh).

on the lighter side, pablo moved out today, which led to me doing a fabulous redesigning of my room's layout. i've pushed the beds together to create a double bed for myself; other developments include monopolization of the closet space as well as the expansion of the "dining area". this will be great for my nineties party (for which i bought romy and michele on vhs today as my first party decoration).

state and society in developing countries, forensic anthropology, and professional communication are officially done for me as of today. thank goodness. i can't even think about how i did. i'm just relieved. (it's funny how i had the final exams for all my favorite classes on one day, and now i'm only left with my 2 less enjoyable classes to complete.)

i ate macaroni and cheese on 3 separate occassions today. by accident.

i guess some things in life never really change because, even though i've pushed pablo's and my beds together, i'm still adamantly staying on "my" side. and even though i say i'm planning on coming back to california, i'm still adamantly trying to figure out how i can continue my stint as a washingtonian for as long as possible. and even though i buy groceries, all i ever eat is macaroni and cheese. i think that one day, i will just turn into a big bowl of macaroni and cheese.

great, now i'm hungry again. :(
