"I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING! TOM! I LET A BEE IN! I'M GOING TO STAB IT!!!"-Mrs. Jerolamon, on stressing out before Homecoming

So today was uneventful and eventful at the same time. If that makes any sense. I slept in until 9:00 [OH YEAHHHHHH] and I got up and had some coffee. I was super tired and kind of cranky because I'd been talking to Stephen on the phone until 2:30 in the morning. Which is a lot later than I'm used to. Luckily I had my mom here to make me coffee. I miss that. So then I just sort of lazed around and flipped through Teen Vogue for a while. But then I needed to start working on my Social Foundations Paper.

Girrrrrrrl. I worked on that paper until 3:30! But I got it done. Except for the footnotes. Because I don't know what footnotes are. So I have to figure that out first. Anyway the paper was supposed to be like 5 pages. Yeah. Mine is 7. Apparently I had a lot to say about Socrates' Trial. Who knew. My goal was to get like 3 pages done and then I was supposed to hang out with Stephen but I was just on a roll so I kept going. Except I forgot to call Stephen and tell him that. So yeah...I was a jerk. But then when I finished it was 3:30 and I had to be at Kaity's at 4:00 and I went to get dressed and you know what? IT WAS LIKE 80 MILLION DEGREES OUT! So I had to scramble around to find something semi-nice AND summer-y because I was about to die it was so hot. So that took me like...30 minutes. I scrambled to get dressed and make sure I had my camera and such and then I headed over to my lover's house.

So I pull up to Kaity's at like 4:10 and it's a good thing I got there when I did because her parents were FREAKING out. And duh. Who would blame them? They had to get the house ready/cook for 42 kids and all their parents! Mrs. Jerolamon told me that Kaity had gone to take pictures with Natalie so I helped her and Mr. Jerolamon get the house ready. I was a good helper. I like helping with stuff like that. Especially because the Jerolamon's are so hilarious. Except I didn't get to see Dink Daddy. Only K-Deezy.

There were various fiascos before everyone got there. The main three were first, the table cloths outside kept blowing up and Mrs. Jerolamon was about to bust a cap. So I asked her if she had any paperclips and then I untwisted them, looped them through the table cloth and then attatched it to the table. She was like "Jewlie. You're a genius. You're brilliant" [SHHHH]. The second big one was Kaity not being able to find her ticket. Haha. I know right!? But she found it. And then the third was the bee Mrs. Jerolamon accidently let in the house. That was hilarious. I know to her it was NOT funny but I was like crying I was laughing so hard. She was yelling SO loud. Kaity comes downstairs and she's like "Jewlie. WHAT is going ON?!" And I told her. And she goes "Oh. No." It was too funny.

So then I realized I wasn't going to have time to pick up Kyle before everyone got there so he didn't come to see everyone take pictures. Which was probably okay because I think he would have hated it. It was crazy and there were billions of people and it was BEASTLY out. Stephen and Anna both didn't have parents with them so I took their pictures for them AND took pictures for myself. I'm sure in the days to come I might put up a few more of these pictures but here's a start.


BESTEST!

Best Betches!

Parts of the group.

Basically everyone. Minus a few people I cut off on accident.

Me and Britt! [She looks SO amazing.]

This is pretty much my favorite picture.

Loves it!

More group.

Even more group.

I won't even lie. I took this picture because I wanted one of David and Miriam together. She's so adorable.

David and Stephen.

Me and David.

Nick and David.

Stephen Nick and David [aka The DNS]

The DNS again. They pretty much had a photoshoot. Not even kidding.

Me and Stephen.

Me [standing on my tip toes to attempt to be as taller] and Nick.

Okay I lied. For some reason this is my favorite picture. It's hilarious.

EEEEEEE!

So yeah. After the pictures were done [I was like THANK THE LORD!] I said goodbye to everyone and headed off to pick up Kyle. We were SUPPOSED to go see Across The Universe until I figured out it's only playing in B-Ham [NO THANK YOU] and so we went to Caribou [where I have been everyday since I've been here]. We were GOING to hang out with Anthony Anderson but he blew us off. The little bobobebe. So we just hung out at Caribou but I wasn't much fun because my stomach didn't feel well at all. Then we went to Depot for a little while and I continued to feel sick. Boo. But it was still a lot of fun. And then Ellie called and was like "Let's hang out tonite!" and it was time for me to meet Kaity at Caribou anyway so I took Kyle home.

Then I was off to Caribou for a brief chat with my lover and then I went home and Elle came over and we chatted until like 1:00. I had to sleep downstairs on the couch because I LEFT MY LIGHT ON THE WHOLE DAY AND IT WAS SO BEASTLY IN MY ROOM! So that made me angry. Elle left at 1:00 and then David called at like 1:45 to chat about Homecoming and its scandals which we didnt' get to go into TOO much detail on. But yeah. I was really glad he called. And now I'm off to bed so yes. Night everyone!

Much Love.
Jewlie.

"Jewlie. I have to ask you about Anorexia. I think I have it."-David on being a hypochondriac pretty much.

Okay it's really late and I HAVE to start my Social Foundations paper tonite so this is going to be a fairly quick entry. So I slept in until 9:00 today! It was so nice. And I got to wake up to my kitty! Which was amazing. So naturally I did like nothing for a couple hours and then I worked out and then I took a shower and got dressed. I read Teen Vogue for a little while and called my Dad because we were going to lunch together.


KITTY!

So me and my dad had lunch at Mexico Lindo [mine and his FAVORITE mexican restaurant. So good!] and it was delicious! I hadn't had a taco in FOREVER. After that I went home and talked to my mom for a while which is always good and we cuddled. Which was so nice. I miss cuddling. And then Stephen called and wanted to see me before he had to work at 4:00 so we met at Caribou! THE GREEK GOD OF SEXINESS WAS WORKING!!!!! It was hilarious because he didn't even recognize me from behind. I guess he walked in and like looked around and then walked back out and called me and I was like "Hey are you here yet?" and he was like "Yeah." And I was like "So am I!" And he was like "What the heck I was just in there and I didn't see you and....oh my God. I didn't even recognize you!" I found that hilarious. But he loves my hair. So yay me. We chatted about scandals and homecoming and it was so nice because I missed Stephen a lot more than I thought I did. Like it was so nice to hug him and I missed our banter. We really are like an old married couple. But then Stephen had to go off to work so I headed home.

Naturally as soon as I got home Sam called so then I left again for Sam's/Pizza Fridays/The Game. Sam's was really fun. It was so nice to see her and Buddy [her dog] and Mom! And we had Hungry Howie's. Mmmm! It was nice to catch up with her and chat about things and such. At 6:15 I went to pick up Kyle and we went to the game to meet Kaity and Nata-lee-ah. Okay first of all there were like 80 million people there. It was INSANE. But duh. It always is. And second of all, I saw SO MANY PEOPLE I KNEW. It was ridiculous. I saw Greg, Amanda, Sam Cook, TB, Anne Marie, Nick, David, Brittany, Mia, Lo, Seano, Sean and like 80 million other people. So it was cool to see everyone. Plus everyone like, LOVES my new hair. So I got lots of compliments on it. OH OH OH! And I saw Mrs. Lamreaux! So that was ahhhhmazing.


Sam Cook. What a cute kid!

Sam and I.

Me, Haylzz and Elle

My LOVERSSS! [Kaity and Nata-Lee-Ah!]

The game was awesome. We played Troy and beat them 27 to 16. Yeah we rock. And the half time show was good. Although I have to say, the Guard costumes this year....yeah. Someone should burn them. Seriously. And it was awesome to see Nick in action as Drum Major. He looks really funny in his uniform. Haha. But yeah. It was awesome to see everyone and just get to hang out and watch the game.


Nick being a super awesome Drum Major

The Marching Band/Really hideous Guard outfits.

The aisle for the Homecoming Court.

Walking down the aisle.

After the game, I went to Caribou with Kaity and David. Anne Marie was supposed to come, but David UNIVITED HER! Haha. What a weid kid. So we discussed our scandals. Because we had A LOT to discuss. And I missed David so much. I really do love him. He's such a funny kid. I'm sad we didn't see more of eachother over the summer and such. But yeah. We stayed until we were pretty much kicked out. And then I drove home and BLASTED Hannah Montana the whole way. It was ahhhmazing.


Me and David Lover!

When I got home I talked to Kyle [duh.] and Anthony Anderson [!!!!] and we're hanging out tomorrow night while everyone is at Homecoming. So that should be super fun! But sadly, I have to work on my paper now. Boo. I miss my girlies at home! Can't wait to see you all on Monday night!

Much Love.
Jewlie.

"Wait hold on...Kaity...PHATHEADS!? WE'VE BEEN LOST HERE BEFORE!",Me on me and Kaity getting lost in Pontiac in the same spot for the 3RD TIME!

Today was SUCH A BUSY DAY. Seriously. So I woke up this morning, took a shower, got dressed, finished packing up my stuff, quadruple checked to make sure I had EVERYTHING and then me and Lindsay walked to class together. Let me tell you. It's hard to walk to class in 3 inch heels with a giant wheely suitcase and a really heavy purse. I felt really unbalanced. But anyway. I got to class and of course many hilarious things were said by Professor Diyanni because we're reading Oedipus. Which is basically like the story of irony. I'll only include one of the various highly amusing quotes: "And then the prophet was like 'yeah you're going to kill your dad and marry your mother' and Oedipus was like ...SHIT I have to get the hell out of here!" Ohhhh Professor Diyanni.


Me all ready for my flight!

But we got out of Cultural Foundations 15 minutes early so naturally I went to Starbucks. Mmmm grande non-fat latte! And then I walked to boring Latin American Studies. It actually wasn't that bad because we just had presentations which are a lot more interesting than when Professor Darenblum talks. Although she is really cute and funny. It's just easier with the presentations because the kids dont' normally speak so much spanish. Which always confuses me. A lot. So I was really anxious the whole class because I was so worried I would miss my flight that when Professor Darenblum let us out I literally BOLTED to the door.

So I left my class at 10:45 and I'm not kidding you, by 11:30 I WAS AT THE GATE READY TO BOARD. SERIOUSLY. Wtf. I thought it was going to take SO much time. Like in 45 minutes I caught a cab, took it to LaGuardia, got my boarding pass, went through security and found my terminal and sat down. Really. I had NOTHING to be worried about. Except then I was 2 hours early to my flight. So I finished reading Antigone and got some food and then worked on my photograph description a little.


Waiting at the terminal.

Finally I boarded the plane and the girl boarding behind me had a puppy! A Pekingese! It was SO adorable. But I didn't end up sitting next to her. I actually sat next to this girl who is a junior at some college in New York. I forget the name. She lives in Queens but grew up in Grosse Point. We just chatted the whole trip and she was really cool. She wants to be a dancer. And we talked about how much we miss Hungry Howie's and Caribou and Target because they don't have it in New York. I was glad I sat next to her. I think we're on the same flight home too, so after we got off the flight she was like "I'll probably see you Monday!" But I never caught her name. I hope she's on the flight home with me though.

We got in 1/2 an hour early so I read my Teen Vogue while I waited for my dad to arrive to get me. It only took us like 45 mintues to get home from the airport and mostly I talked about New York and food. Haha. You know me. I love me some good food. When I got home my mom pretty much cried she was so excited to see me. The feeling was mutual. I really missed her and my dad. A LOT. AND MY FAT BABY! Ohhhhh I missed my kitty so much! So I played with him for a while and me and my mom watched Hannah Montana [The Wish Gone Amiss episode!] Then my mom had to go to rehearsal so Kaity came to pick me up to go visit Brittany in the hospital.

Okay. I don't even care how dumb this sounds. When Kaity got here, we cried. Like we legitly cried. Because we missed eachother THAT MUCH. And then I gave her all the magazine clippings I've been saving for her and I gave her the CD I made and we listened to it on the way to the hospital. It was seriously so much fun visiting Brittany! It was AMAZING to see her. I wish we'd gotten to talk more. I could have stayed the whole night. I hope we can still have some one on one time even though she's like...in pain. Because we have some things we must discuss. But yeah. Oh my goodness. We laughed so hard when we were there. It was so nice for it to just be the three of us again. And Kaity told us gross stories about people eating their frozen placenta and Cody, the AI kid in her SWEAT class that threw up his lunch and ate it again. I know. Gross. And Brittany told us her boy scandals. And let me tell you. She has some serious scandals at hand. But then, out of no where, it was 8:15 and we had to leave to go see David at Marching Band.


BRITT!

KAITY!

Seriously. I look demented here.

Okay. First let me say, that everytime me and Kaity go somewhere we basically get lost. But the worst for us is Pontiac. Seriously. EVERY time we go to Pontiac or drive through it, we always are fine getting there....BUT WE CAN NEVER FIND 75 ON THE WAY BACK! It's so mind-blowing! So we're driving along and I just turn to Kaity and I go "I have no idea where we are." And she goes "Yeah. Me neither." And so we keep driving because everytime we get lost, we always just keep driving and then it gets to a point where I finally recognize something and know how to get us home. Yeah. It's crazy. So we're driving for like 20 minutes and we're stopped at this light and I'm on the phone with Natalie and all of a sudden I look over and see this shopping complex and there's a place called Phatheads. EVERY TIME WE GET LOST IN PONTIAC WE END UP THERE! I can't even explain how we manage it! So we're like "What the heck. How did we do this?!" And then we see the North 75 signs and it all comes back to me. Every time we see the signs we try to follow them and we NEVER find 75. So naturally we follow the signs and somehow we end up on Dixie. Like really people. Every time we get lost, we get un-lost a different way. I don't even know how that happens!

But we managed to get to the high school by 8:50 and it was SO awesome to see David! And it was so great to have a real hug from someone that is not my mom or like...Kayla [girrrrrrrl I DO love your hugs though]. Haha. So then I ran into TB on the way in to find Anne Marie and she just ran at me and was so excited! It felt so great. I was worried like...no one missed me. But I'll get to talk to her more tomorrow at the game I'm sure. So then we ran into Nick. And I wasn't really sure how that would go. But it was so good to see him. And he was still his awkward self. And it was refreshing to meet someone awkward and know that nothing had really changed at home. So we had a good hug too. And then right as I was about to open the door to see Anne Marie, she opened it [she had no idea I was coming] and the look on her face was PRICELESS. That's the only word to describe it. It was like a double take and then a look of COMPLETE shock. And then she jumped on me and we hugged and I'm pretty sure she almost cried [I know I almost did. Haha.] And so it was fun to get to talk with everyone. David and I have to conference corner soon about various girl troubles and same for me and Anne Marie.


DAVID MY LOVER!

ANNE MARIE!

This is typical David and Nick. I love them.

Then me and Kaity had to rush off to our one true love...METCH THE BETCH!!!!![Our table at Caribou]! So we pull into Caribou and I just go "It's so good to be back Caribou!" And we went to see Metch. And then we ordered our drinks [they have Pumpkin Spice Lattes there now! But not as good as Starbucks] and Kaity got a vanilla light cooler. And we just sat at Metch. And discussed scandals and such. And then out of sheer luck, one of the ladies who was working at Caribou came over and was like "Umm do you guys want this pizza? We haven't eaten it and we don't want it." AND IT WAS HUNGRY HOWIE'S. WITH CHEESE BREAD. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [my favorite!]!!!!!! So yeah. That was our sign from God welcoming us back to C-Bou.



CARIBOU

US AT METCH THE BETCH! [I look demented here too. But whatev.]

Unfortunately I didn't have time to stop by to see Stephen but I did get to stop by Kyle's house really quick and see him. It was so perfect. We missed eachother. A lot. It was really great to see him. And it's really just so surreal to be home. Like I feel like I Just left yeseterday and yet, all my good times back home in New York seem like ages ago. But I can't really believe I'm here. It's a really weird feeling. But it's nice. It was nice to get so many hugs and so many smiles from familiar faces. But I can tell it's going to go by WAY too fast.

Me and Kaity went home and I talked to my mom for a while when she got home from rehearsal. It was nice. I really did miss her a lot. Tomorrow is going to be such a fun/crazy/hectic day. But I'm pumped! Natrually after that, I talked to Kyle and now I'm exhausted and ready for bed [I'm sleeping in until 8:30!!!]. Night all.

Girlssssssss at home: I miss you lovers. Have a good super long weekend. Don't too any REALLY fun stuff without me. I'll be back Monday in time for The Hills. Save me some Frozen Yogurt. Haha. Oh here's two really random pictures Kayla took. Loves it. I was interpreting the names of the Vitamin Waters.



Much Love.
Jewlie.

"So. What do we know about Syphilis?....I mean Cephalus."-Professor Oliver, on the character in The Republic [NOT the STD]

I woke up really well today. Of course that probably has something to do with the fact that "London Bridge" was my wakeup song this morning so the first thing I hear was "OH SHIT!" blasting out of my speakers. Nothing like Fergie to get you going in the morning. So you know those days when you're trying to be really quiet and so naturally you knock everything over and are ridiculously loud? Yeah that was me this morning. Luckily Kelly didn't wake up. It's really gloomy out today. So that was nice. I like it when it's cloudy out. I thought it was going to rain but it never did.

ANYWAY. I walked to my boring, far away classes while listening to The Kung Fu Girls. Because I was in the mood to listen to them. And because I'm missing their show on Friday night at the Knitting Factory and because I just talked to Mia last night and we discussed how awesome it is to have Macbooks and pink hair. So I got to class and I seriously thought it got canceled because Professor Oliver didn't show up until like 8:07. But...he showed up. So he FINALLY gave us our paper topics thank the Lord and surprisingly it doesn't sound that bad. He says he likes imagination and that if we want to write it in dialogue or as like a screen play or something we can. So we have to write 5 pages explaining the trial of Socretes and we have to pretend we were one of the jurors and tell why we would have voted guilty or not guilty and of course use the texts to support our responses but it shouldn't be bad at all. Which is fabulous since I have to do it while I'm at home. Boo. And I actually stayed awake the whole class today, I was even awake enough to make some short but intelligable comments. Yay me!

Writing class today was AWESOME. We're starting our photography unit. I love it. It actually made me consider joining the Photography Club. Their meetings are on Tuesdays so I might go next week. So we discussed our photography assignment and then we looked at some photographs and just talked about them and described them and such. It was really cool to see what everyone else got out of a single photo. Really interesting stuff. I'm excited for this unit/essay. It should be really fun. Then the girl from California whose in my class [don't know her name yet, that's why she's still California girl] who had told me she loved my boots on Monday stopped me after class and goes "Thank you so much for telling me about your boots. I loved them so much I went right after class on Monday and got some. And I've been wearing them ever since. I'm in love." And I was like "ME TOO! I want to wear them EVERYWHERE because I just want people to see me wearing them!" And she was like "Me too!". She lives in Rubin so we walked to 8th street and Broadway together and she told me about California and how she wants to write for National Geographic someday and I told her about Michigan and how I want to write for Teen Vogue and such. It was really nice.

On my way home I passed downstairs Lindsey and she waved at me and I waved back and this lady in front of me thouht she was waving at her and she looked at me really confused and so I was like "Oh. I know her. She was waving at me. Haha." And she just up and starts a conversation with me. Like this totally random, late 30's-early 40 year old woman. It was really awesome actually. It just goes to show not all of us New Yorkers are rude. We're just ususally in a hurry. So she was telling me about how her daughter is on her last year until she gets her PHD and how she's only 4'10" and that she's really short like me. And she asked me about school and what I wanted to do when I grew up and how I was liking the city and my classes and that it was awesome that I got into NYU since it's so competitive. It was just really...cool. I don't know. I liked it. Haha.

When I got home I finished book IV of The Republic and then I took at quick power nap and went to have some lunch with Susan around 12:00. Then I checked my email and such and went to the ATM with Lindsay [of the upstairs genre] so I could pay the taxi tomorrow. And then we just got ready to meet RYAN SHECKLER!

I'm not sure if I explained how MTV emailed me and was like "Yeah we're doing this special on Ryan Sheckler and we want you to come and blah blah blah 2:15 on Wednesday." So I invited Susan and Lindsay and we all went up to Times Square to go to this thing with Ryan Sheckler [who by the way is a really attractive 17 year old pro-skater who has his own reality show on MTV, in case you didn't know.] So basically we stood around for a long time. But we met these two cool girls from Pratt. One is majoring in Fashion Design and the other is a Film major. They were really cute and funny. So yeah. We stood outside the studio forEVER and then finally....RYAN CAME TO THE WINDOW! [And Damien. I'm really attracted to Damien. Haha.] And then all of Ryan's SUPER hot friends came to the window and his brothers Shane and Cane. Cane is SO adorable oh my goodness! I wanted to hug him [which is impressive for me. I hate small children]. So then they came down to see all of us and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. I was SO close to Ryan. LJSDLF. I could like...smell him. Haha. It was a good smell. But yeah. He was literally standing right in front of me. But yeah me and Susan and Lindsay will probably be on the show [My Life With Ryan] quite a bit so I don't know when it's airing but I'll try and figure that out so we can all watch me screaming like a complete idiot because Ryan Sheckler is hot. And a skateboarder.












So we stood a total of 3+ hours. And I wore my birks. Yeah I'm an idiot. So my feet were killing me AND my lunch must have been salty because I was literally DYING of dehydration. So I bought a H2O bottle on the way back home in the metro station at 42nd and Broadway. I literally drank it in like less than 2 minutes. The whole thing. It was ridiculous. So Susan went to meet her mom for dinner and me and Lindsay headed back home. When I got home I went down to the computer lab to print my boarding pass...FOR TOMORROW! But stupid spirit air is all "You can't do online check-in unless you booked through spiritair.com" Which I didn't. So now that's ONE MORE THING I have do tomorrow on my super tight time schedule. I'm really nervous. Like. I HAVE to make this flight. I'll cry if I don't. I'll probably cry from stress anyway. Haha. So yeah. That really pissed me off. But then I went to get food...even though I'm not hungry AT ALL. So I got like 3 bananas some frozen yogurt and 3 cookies. Because I know the girls will eat them during ANTM. Oh and I checked my mail and I got something from mom! And I got a postcard from my cool grandma! It's from Spain. Yeah she's like a world traveler. She's hilarious. I can't wait to see her this weekend!

I got upstairs and drank like 80 million glasses of water. Then I finalized everything for tomorrow and checked my email and such. Then I attempted to finish Antigone. And then I emailed MTV about letting me go to see Paramore next week on TRL. Because that would be amazing. And literally like...an hour later the girl from MTV called me back and was like "Yeah you can have two tickets no problem! And if you wear a shirt or something you'll totally get tons more air time." So yeah. I'm pumped! After I got caught up on all my emails and such it was time for ANTM/Gossip Girls!

After ANTM/Gossip Girls I finished the last 10 pages of Antigone and then talked to Kyle and went to sleep because TOMORROW IS MY BIG DAY! See you all in less than 24 hours.

Much Love.
Jewlie.

"Oh...I titled my paper 'Oh My Gods'..."-The hysterical kid in my Cultural Foundations class on the title of his paper for 'The Odyssey'

So this is going to be a short entry. Due to my exhaustion [still]. So I woke up this morning, took a shower and hurried off to class. As per usual, Cultural Foundations class was hilarious and I still love Professor Diyanni. And I basically just realized that he's written like 80 million books. So yeah. Good class today, highly entertaining. So then I rushed off to Starbucks and got my non-fat latte which made me a little late for class. Luckily one of the other guys in my class was running late too. So we got to be late together. Which I mean, we were only like 4 minutes late anyway. So whatev.

Naturally me and Lauren mocked everything Duda said during the whole class and talked about how boring LAS is on the way back home. She walked with me most of the way because she works at the Palladium on Tuesdays. So that was nice. She's hilarious. Then I got home and realized I was STARVING. So me and Linds went downstairs to get some food and I had a really delicious salad and some really yummy soup. I miss soup. The soup here is almost always of the meat genre. Ew. So then I came upstairs and checked my email and all that good stuff and while I was checking my email, around 2:00 when Susan usually gets home, I heard the door open. So I didn't even bother to look away from my laptop and I just go, "Helloooooo Susan!" in my Kevin voice. And I turn and....it's not Susan. It's a security guard. Yeah. I felt like the biggest idiot ever. I was just like "....you're not Susan." And then awkwardly went back to work. I officially hate the security guards. And now they probably think I'm a crazy person. So then Susan actually did get home and I went back down to get more food to go with Fabi and Susan because I'm trying to use all my meals for the week by tomorrow. Then I took a nap. Let me tell you. I napped for nearly an hour and a half. And when I woke up, I was STILL tired.

But I talked to Kaity for a while about our plans when I'm home and about Brittany. She's in the hospital but we're going to visit her on Thursday. Put her in your prayers if you can. Then I went back to sleep for another half hour. And I woke up with a pounding headache and I felt sick to my stomach. Fabulous. So then I had some tea and started my LAS homework. Hallelujah and praise the Lord because I am finally DONE with the Not-So-Epic of Latin America. That's right. In only 4 short weeks we have finished the 1000 page nonsense that is my stupid LAS book. Though now we have another book to read and a 14 page paper to write. But still. I feel accomplished.

So then, since the security guards are such total idiots that they can never find the stair cases and keep mistaking me and Kelly's ROOM for one of them, I decided to make them these lovely signs.




And you know what. ONE OF THEM STILL ASKED ME WHERE THE STAIRS WERE!!! I mean really. Really people. Are you THAT ignorant or are you just TRYING to annoy the hell out of me. Seriously. I'm trying to do my homework or sleep and all these security guards do is wander around our house looking for the CLEARLY MARKED stair cases. U-G-H [as the boy in the new Cingular commercial would say].

After I finished that, I checked my mail and I got a card from my daddy. Awww. I love and miss him dearly. Then I cracked down on reading The Republic. Only I hadn't realized how much I actually had to read for it. And so I can't finish it tonite because I'm simply WAY too tired to retain anything else right now. So I finished packing my stuff for Thursday and now I'm off to say goodnite to Kyle and then go to sleep. Hopefully I'll feel more rested tomorrow.



Much Love.
Jewlie.

"I love watching celebrities fall from their glory."-Kayla, on Britterz performance at the VMA's [Yeah we watched it on youtube again today.]

I did NOT want to get up this morning. Let me tell you. Even the lovely sound of McFly singing "That Girl" couldn't pull me out of bed. It was just SO dreary out. So I rolled out of bed and continued to be groggy all morning. I stopped by the dining hall before class since I have to use my 10 meals in like 4 days. I just grabbed coffee and a bagel. It was tasty [BITS]. So I walked to my far-away, boring classes. But it wasn't so bad because I listened to Regina Spektor and I was wearing my new boots. Loves it.

Professor Oliver was being SO boring this morning. I seriously like almot fell asleep at least 10 different times in his class. And it sucks because I think what we're learning is super interesting, I just can't stay awake. Also, I didn't sleep well last night. So I'm sure that was part of it. Boo. Anyway. Then I had writing class which went well. Me and Noel just talked about our Peer Editing and such. I really like her. She's a nice girl, really bright too. I'm glad I know her, in case I need help with my paper and my knight in shining armor is too busy doing his own homework to help me out.

On my way home I made sure I walked through Astor Place because I've been meaning to take a picture of this for some time:


So yes. That made my day a little brighter [despite the trés cloudy weather]. So I went upstairs and I'm not even kidding you, I took an hour and a half nap. I was just exhausted. Plus I haven't been feeling too well today. I'm very tired and clamy and I've had a headache all day that's been getting progressively worse. But anyway. So I took my nap and then me and Susan and Fabi went to get some lunch to go. The [this shit is] bananas the past few days have been AWFUL. I miss them...haha. But I had my daily dose of Frozen Yogurt and granola. After that I checked my email and sort of mulled around.

Kayla got home at 3:00 and that's when the madness started. Basically we sat around for 3 hours and did absolutely nothing. Haha. It started by me singing "Gimme More" because it's so obnoxiously catchy. So then we went to look it up on youtube. But in the mean time we got distracted because I insisted on showing Kayla the Up Close and Personal McFly videos. We watched the one where they lip synch Il Divo. And we watched Harry wake everyone up. I love Harry. He's so adorable. Kayla like Dougie. Just like my bestest betch. So we did that. And then we watched Britterz. Then we looked at pictures of Kayla's friend from home who looks like the ever-so-epic Zac Efron. Then we went and sat in the common room and started singing. And I was playing with my ring tones. And then we decided that we ought to record Kayla some ringtones. Holy mother of God. It was SO hilarious. So we're like singing all these random songs [All You Need Is Love, Wannabe, Shoes, Gimme More and Girlfriend] and it was just...I haven't laughed that much in weeks. It was great. Then I was like "I really want some [to the tune of Gimme More] Diet. Diet. Diet diet coke!" And I don't even know. We were just so slap happy.

After that I checked my mail and my Seventeen magazine FINALLY came today! And I got a package from Auntie Sandy! It was this cute little notebook shaped like a dress on a hanger. And it was so funny because the note said "hope this package is finding you well and NOT doing Latin American Studies". Clearly she reads the blog. So then I talked to my mom and Kaity and Kyle. And then finally after much procrastination I started my homework.

OH OH OH! And I got an email from MTV yesterday saying that they're filming this special with Ryan Sheckler and they wanted to know if I wanted to go and bring some friends so me and Susan and Linds are going on Wednesday to some taping thing and we might win a date with Ryan. He's SO adorable. Loves it. And they're giving out free stuff too. And we all know how I feel about free stuff. So excitement for that!

So I got through half of my LAS reading which was fabulous. Only 90 pages to go tomorrow. Not bad if I do say so myself. So after I finished my homework Kelly brought me a cookie and it was yummy. I had a really bad headache [and still do actually] so I just tried to take it easy until it was time for The Hills. We [me, Lindz, Susan, Fabi and Kayla] watched The Hills in Fab's room and it was SO good. I LOVE BRODY. He's so flipping cute! I want him and Lauren to get back together so bad! And next week's episode looks so scandalous!

But my head is killing me and I'm really exhausted so I'm off to bed. Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.

Much Love.
Jewlie.
