The Outside Hurts

Just got back from canvassing the West Apartments with flyers for Belltower Books, a book buyback company i am working for. There were a LOT of stairs involved. Now I have to sit and wait for someone to call or text me. My legs hurt. My next step is to actually go door to door tonight and hope for the best.

Long Island Weather

Its a strange phenomenon that seems to have logical pattern whatsoever. For instance today is partly cloudy and 45 degrees where as yesterday it was pouring down rain and the before it was so cold the wind would hurt as one walked along. None of this makes sense to me coming from a place where the overall constant is fog with a mild chance of sunshine. All of this reminds me of an ecard. Go ahead and look at it laugh then sympathize with me.

Oh, and caroling update. apparently its just postponed. YAY!!!

Rain, the anti-Carol

Well today is not as exciting as planned. Rain has decide to ruin this fantastic parade of musical skill and fun. WHY?!? This is totally anti-climactic, this was going to be our big finish not whatever the last gig we did. We did not get invited to do this. It was an invention of our own, nobody else's and it was going to be great. I'm hoping the rain will quickly cease and desist but I don't have much hope in that matter.

Updates to come later,

Resurrection Is Rewarding.

Hello again world,

It sure has been awhile since I have been posting here. I have neglected this for another mistress, photography.

I'm going to really try to keep both running at the same time. Its going to be a challenge but my eyes were opened this semester by a teacher here at Stony Brook who said that writing is an ongoing process, one that needs to be honed over time. I figure if I can just sit down and write for ten minutes a day I can see some sort of improvement.

Now that that is out of the way its time for an update of my life.

I am close to done with the first semester of my sophomore year here at SBU and I am as happy as happy can be. Its incredible! I'm having the fantastic time I should have had last year. I'm still singing my heart out and taking lessons off campus from the Rob Gallagher who is awesome and has taught me an incredible amount of new technique. I have another niche of theatre and have found myself in a job that gets me a lot of practice in technical theatre. I'm working as a stage hand at Staller Center for the Arts. I get to do a variety of different and awesome jobs including: projections, operating the fly rail just to mention a few.

It has come to the end of the semester and I am ready for it to end. Not to mention a bit of a break from the iceberg that has settled over Stony Brook.

Welcome Back,

Hello New Year,

What do you have in store for me? So far you've given me a long night with a good breakfast among the best of friends. Now on your second day you have given me, RAIN, smelly cats and no sleep past 7:30am. I guess I'll be able to say good morning a lot more than usual.

It's the second week of winter break and things are going wonderfully. I experienced my first white-Walsh Christmas which turned out to be quite a lot of fun.

More updates to come as I sit in the small apartment that I will be taking care of for the next I wonder what's ahead of me for the new year.

Cheers!

Even more SNOW!!!!!!!

So, I went and had my big Astronomy final, which I have mixed feelings about, I finish the beast and I start to walk out of the building and it is SNOWING I mean coming down and OH MY GOD, I was not prepared mostly because I was still in my PJs after staying up all night and studying, I was jittery because of the three energy drinks(big ones) that kept me awake and studying all night with very little actual sustenance. I was overjoyed and annoyed all at the same time! I didn't know what to do with myself, I wanted to be mad at the world because I was tired and underdressed but I also wanted dance, play with the snow and catch snowflakes on my tongue. On I trudged back home to go to bed and I made it, a little wetter than intended but I made it.

I went to sleep.

I woke up around 2pm and it was white all over the ground, EVERYWHERE!!!! So, Em and I left my room to head across campus to her soon to be empty room where we plan on lodging ourselves in, getting warm and watching the snow fall outside.

Happy Holidays and here's to wishing you a white one.

SNOW!!!!!

Snow has come to Stony Brook! Last night we got about an inch and a half, I know it doesn't sound like much but it was incredible amounts of fun.

Em, Lauren, Caitlin and I all went to Outback and ate warm food hot off the barby. Anyways, we finished our food and went outside where it had snowed while we ate. We went outside and while Caitlin Started defrosting the car, a snowball fight began. That quickly ended due to cold hands and a yearning to go back to campus to gear up for an actual snowball fight! It was an epic fight with teams forming and breaking apart and forming again, it was quite intense. The fight ended and we decided to make a snow man, boy was that fun! He was a most excellent snowman, though I do not believe we named him, unfortunately some jerkoffs decided they did not like our snowman and promptly destroyed him. I was disappointed in the human race.

Well, I'll be home soon! First to Idaho for christmas and my mother, then off to the Bay to live for awhile and visit friends eat healthy and PARTY!!! So I'm excited!!!

BRRRR.....

My god it was cold today!

I took an epic journey to Wal-Mart and found myself confronted by below freezing weather. The first time I checked my computer said it was sunny and 31 degrees fahrenheit. I think if that happened in San Francisco the majority of the city's population would up and disappear nor would they be out watching high school football as so many were doing on my campus today. I went to Wal-Mart with my lovely Em and our friend Caitlin, who is very dear to both of us, and by the time we arrived at Wal-Mart it must have been 28 degrees not including wind chill. We spent a lovely warm time in Wal-Mart searching for various things we needed and didn't really need. After Wal-Mart we made the trek down the parking lot to the Olive Garden to have wonderful hot Italian food and a little taste of wine,ooh yay! illegality. Anyways, we had an awesome dinner and decided to go wait for the bus by Wal-Mart. The bus close to never came, meaning we waited an hour and a half for it and ended up calling the Stony Brook Police Department to find out when the next would be. They said it should've already arrived that it left somewhere around an hour ago.

Well the bus came about 20minutes later but it was ridiculous.

BLECH!

It's hot and Muggy.

A Library and iTunes

I sit here in the massive library at my school after a night of hookah and crazy amounts of water falling from the sky. It's nice to find people who live on my floor that aren't LOUD, and I use capital letters just to give you a taste of what living on my floor is like.

I had my first quiz yesterday, just about the easiest thing ever. Dr. Carini would've been disappointed in the small amount of thinking I had to do. Five questions, that's it, five. I was confused I thought it was going to be just about the hardest thing in the world but it wasn't. It was a very pleasant surprise.

Anyways more later.

As Always,

My New Life

Here I sit in my way too small room thinking about what's going to happen when I go to Astronomy 101 for my first college quiz, two weeks into my college career. Its kind of shocking to think that I'm a college student. It feels like days have gone by since I graduated high school. I miss my crowd from high school (not that I haven't found friends).

The weather here is so strange. There is entirely no pattern to the weather, unless you call random a pattern, it'll rain for half an hour and then be perfectly sunny. At least it's not bloody hot any more it's nice and cool I actually had to pull out a sweater while getting Dunkin' Donuts! *excellent donuts by the way*

I miss home
