i leave for college one week from today.

my parents and sister leave for michigan tomorrow so they can move my sister into her apartment for grad school at university of michigan.

it's all so weiiird.

we went massive dorm shopping for the two of us this past week and it was kinda surreal... fun to get all new shit though. it's really weird trying to pack though because in attempting to, i've realized i have no idea what i'm going to do with half my stuff. i have the essentials like clothes and my new glorious laptop and a tv (of course), but now i've discovered my room is full of lots of useless shit that i haven't utilized since about 8th grade. i'm also kinda torn about what to do about all my posters. ciara from work bought me a james dean poster which is definitely coming to DC with me, but other than that, i just don't know. my room is so full of crap on the walls that i don't know how to pick and choose what'll come up. haha, i'm such a nerd. THIS is what's perplexing me, not the whole, you know, leaving my family and friends. yet. i've been such an emotional wreck this week... i guess it's the finality of it all but i've just been so sensitive and prone to crying about sentimental things. i guess it comes with the territory.

it's just so odd saying bye to people. even if most of them are only temporary.

i loved my high school experiences. i guess that puts me in the minority but whatever. i really am going to miss it. i am really, really, really excited about heading up to college though. i've been talking to a lot of people going to AU and it's just going to be nice to have a fresh, new start and meet new faces. new, new, new. repetition central. this is probably the biggest change i've ever gone through because i've never really moved before... especially somewhere where i don't know a single soul. it's kinda an adrenaline rush.

i am babbling like an asshole lmao.

man, i used to update this thing daily and now it's like a 3 times a year sort of thing. or whenever i feel particularly babbly like now.

i've seen hairspray 4 times in the theaters. it's really good. i recommend it highly. my sister had absolutely NO desire to see it, like was mad at me for dragging her to the theater, and she loved it. she's been walking around singing "good morning baltimore." i am still blatantly aware of how pathetic it is to see it that much but whatevs, i knows what i likes.

oh p.s., due to my recent viewings of hairspray and high school musical (because it's so terrifically terrible), have reduced me to the likings of a 13-year-old girl when it comes to zac efron. if someone could make me a .gif icon of this icon without the words and just the repeated image that would be absolutely glorious. =]



sexysexy.

my last day of work was yesterday. weird. i love my job. awesome fellow employees who gave me fun going-away presents and little to no actual physical work and free movie rentals! who could complain?

alright, time to go spend the rest of the day with my sister who has always been at a maximum of 20 minutes away by car before she moves 11 hours away from me. emotastic, i know.

hope everyone's doing well. =]
