let it be known...

my life has hit a new low.

tonight, i was feeling sick (still, the throat thing. only this time, it's actual pain, and it even hurts the back of my tongue massively to swallow) and so i decided i would take nyquil. so, i went into the bathroom cabinet, and much to my surprise, we actually had some. but there was no little cup thingy to take it with. i brainstormed for a few minutes before thinking "oh man, i have a bunch of shotglasses in my room..." and i contemplated it for a few minutes, and then decided it was my only way. so yes, i used a shotglass to take nyquil tonight. (*sigh*)

today i went to shs in the morning to talk to the seniors about going to college. i think half of what we said went in one ear and right out the other. but... here's hoping that they will at least take what we said seriously. after that, katie, munch and i went out to lunch at friendly's. then, i dropped katie off (she had to work, otherwise she would have joined us...) and munchie and i went to uconn. i sent out an e-mail for council, and saw marvin and dmills (it was good to see them, i am so excited for next year...) and then went to see joe at the visitors center (this cost me $30 b/c i got a ticket... damn uconn-po bastards...). after that, we passed through brooklyn to pick up schwab. i dropped munchie off, and schwab and i rented the mothman prophecies (it scared the living hell out of me at a few parts) and watched it. i was too freaked out to drive schwab home and then have to drive home alone, so i picked up munch and brought her with me. you heard it here folks, my munchie rocks. i love that girl, she always comes through in a clutch...

conrats to tony on the new cell phone!

tomorrow will be the day of... hopefully, running in the morning. this depends on how i feel throat-wise. i need to make a doctor's appointment soon. an ortho one, too... wow, i haven't been home in a LONG time... tomorrow afternoon, i'm cutting my hair. i miss its short-ness, b/c it has def grown out since december. it's past my shoulders now, and i want to keep it at a nice summery length. i'll let you know how that one goes.

so i have bad news and good news:

the bad news: the job hunt is not going so well. i applied for three different positions, and haven't recieved word on one yet. i'll give them till the end of the week and then i will call and see if they reviewed my applications yet. it can't hurt, right? i mean, i will always have babysitting. but if the full-time thing absolutely fails, here is why it is a good thing...

the good news: in talking to my dad (finally, after 3 days, he started speaking to me again), i learned that ricardo, one of our exchange students from 1993-1994, is getting married. naturally, he is from brasil. he invited us to the wedding... and my dad invited me to go as well. at first, i saw this as an absolute impossibility b/c of the job i want to get. however... after careful consideration, i have decided that this might be a good thing. it won't be many more years where i will be able to take 2 weeks off in the summer and travel to brasil. plus, i would get to see the 14 students, many of which i have not seen since they left the united states when they were teenagers. so, just know that this is something i will def be putting massive amounts of thought into in the next couple of days. i would really like to get out...

alrighty, it's time to go to bed, and i know tony is waiting to read... :P

here's hoping for a sound sleep, frustration and illness free, for once...

still breathing, amazingly.

how appropriate that it continues to rain... i think i kind of like it this time. it just makes sense.

so the past couple days: saturday was a tough day. we won't go into details about that. yesterday, i went to my aunt's house with my mom (which caused my dad to go pretty much up in smoke for the rest of the day-- he was so mad at me, i am SO SICK of this and want to get out so badly) and then while i was at my aunt's house, ian called me to say hello and see what was up, and so i went over there last night. we watched the whole nine yards and the royal tenenbaums (<-- that movie is so weird). i came home and was asleep by 12:45.

cute story from yesterday, made me smile: my little cousin johnathan is 5. he was sitting on my lap facing me, and he looked at my sweatshirt (i was wearing my family letters) and asked what it said. here's what followed:

kelly: i don't know, why don't you read it to me?
j-man: i don't know.
kelly: (pointing to the k) what letter is this?
j-man: k
kelly: (pointing to the next k) what letter is this?
j-man: k
kelly: (pointing to the psi) and what letter is this?
j-man: i don't know.
kelly: well what does it look like?
j-man: teapot

...enough said. i had to laugh at the thought of "kkteapot". it was cute.

alrighty, i think i am done. i don't really have much else to say. lyrics maybe?

no, i changed my mind. till next time...
