my puppy

Well, I'm going back to Jersey today and I can't wait to see my puppy!! Not the dog that lives with my parents but that dog that lives with my best friend Travis. One day in May me and my 2 best friends Eddie and Travis were driving around when we saw a baby pitbull all by herself. She was the prettiest pitbull I had ever seen and I immediately fell in love with her. The 3 of us debated about what we should do until we finally decided to take her with us. So, we got out of the car and grabbed the puppy. From the second we got her, she was the sweetest little thing ever. I mean she would bite and things like that but nothing out of the ordinary for a puppy. We notified the police, just in case she belonged to a family that was looking desperately for her. No one had filed anything about a baby pitbull so we kept her! The first night, she slept at my house and I had to hide her from my other dog and my dad. But, my dad ended up hearing her and he came into my room and absolutely fell in love with her just as much as I had. Since we all knew I was leaving for school at the end of the summer we didn't think it would be right for her to get settled and comftorable in my house and then I would just be getting up and leaving her. So, we all decided that she would live at Travis'. It took a few hours to convince his mom, but we did it. And now she's so big! I can't wait to see her. I love her so much, words do not come close to explaining.

WEEKEND

I can't wait for this weekend!! It's going to be amazingg!!! I'm going home for the weekend but I'm taking my cousin with me. So, we're going to go and see all my friends at home and party with them. I miss them, I can't lie. I didn't think I'd ever want to go home even to see some of my friends but I'm pretty excited. I mean I've already said how much I love college but you know, you always miss some things. So, it should be fun to see friends. I know that all their going to do is ask me about college and what I've been doing. I swear, ever since I started college whenever I talk to anyone no matter how many times they've already asked me, they will still ask me how college is and what I've been doing. Like the answer I gave the day before is any different? Whatever, I guess they just care. But, yes this weekend should be very fun, cant wait!!

work :(

So, college is great BUT I hate my job! I work at a doctors office on Staten Island and it is the worst and most boring job I have ever had!!!!! I do nothing but bring patients into the room, clean the rooms, clean instruments (including needles) and file things. It really is awful. I only work 2 days a week so I suck it up but really, i hate it. The only reason I keep the job is because it's easy money and I work with my older cousin which is funny but I'm normally misserable. I'm misserable before I go, because I don't want to go, I'm misserably when I get there, because I don't want to be there, and I'm still misserable when I leave, because I know I have so much homework to do before I can actually go out. I think I'm just spoiled with having good jobs which is why I think this one sucks so much. When I was a junior and senior in high school I had 2 jobs at the same time. My first was at a tanning salon. Sounds lame, but the girls that I met there were great. We had the time of our lives working together. We laughed about everything and never did anything we were supposed to do. I also met a lot of girls that I became close with. So, if I wasn't at Hollywood Tans, I was at the Huntley Taverne. Which is an upscale restaurant in Summit, New Jersey. Talk about complete opposite jobs, I went from making fun of customers at the tanning salon to yes sir, yes miss, anything you'd like, of course give me one moment. Eventhough I had to be very proper at the restaurant it was a great job! I meant so many cool people and I made very good money there. I was so busy when I went to that job that the hours just flew and soon enough I was out for the night. So, I guess my job isn't that bad if you like doing desk work and things like that, but I know I would rather run around a restaurant waiting on people then sitting there at a desk watching the clock. I should quit and work at a restaurant.

college life

I love college! It is amazing! I thought that it would be this good and I'm so glad that it is. It's great not having to answer my parents phone calls or answering to anyone with where I'm going or what time I would be coming back. I was waiting to have freedom from my parents for soo long and it finally happened! It really is the best time of my life, well so far of course. I'm happy with choosing to come to Staten Island because all of my family is here but my parents. There only over the bridge in Jersey but it really is a home away from home. I can go to my aunts houses whenever I want to eat dinner or just hang out and I can then leave whenever I want to go out or to a party. I can't express how great being in college is. I have to give some credit to my roomates though. The 3 of us get along really well and that definitely helps. I've heard horror stories about some of my friends roomates and I feel so lucky to not only get along with one of them, but with both of them. All 3 of us are so different but so alike in so many ways. It's fun learning to live and get along with people you've never met before. I hope that college stays this great or get even better, if that's possible!

Today, September 14th was the annual race for breast cancer, or Race for the Cure. This particular race takes place in Central Park in Manhattan. Thousands of people take part in this because all the proceedings go to help find a cure for breast cancer. I have been doing this walk for many years. My Aunt Lynette died of breast cancer in 1998 which is why I initially started doing this walk. The first year that my family and I did this there were about 60 people there in memorance to my aunt which was really nice. Ever since then, I've been doing the race. I decided to write about the race today because it does mean a lot to me and breast cancer is everwhere. I don't think I know anyone that could tell me that they didn't know someone who has been somehow affected by breast cancer.
