i'm back at school and my computer is FINALLY fixed. today is "wednesday" so i have to get ready for class. | | Monday, August 30th, 2004 | | 3:19 pm |
i feel like i am the luckiest person in the world. i've been really happy ever since january 7. the only thing really getting me down is the sadness about not going back to ireland for another semester, but the happiness from having the experience very much outweighs the sadness. i just cannot wait to go back to school now. i feel like i have an all new much better outlook on things and the year will be great. i want to have as much fun as possible and i after my "true confessions" entry you guys know that i am not very stressed about post graduation anymore...i just want to do what makes me happy. hopefully the stress level will stay down and things will be chill and fun, and here's hoping everyone else feels the same way :) convocation next wednesday! holy crap. i'm not going naked, i can tell you that right now. sharon, emily, anyone else...what are you guys wearing? our robes have to be zipped up so is there a point to thinking about this? loooove, katie | | 1:47 pm |

true confessions
ok, if you've been reading then you will know that i'm a tad bit worried about what i will do upon entering the black hole of doom, aka life after graduation from college. in may. in nine months. i don't know what job i will get yadda yadda. but the true confession i have to make is that i really don't give a shit. the only thing that is stressing me out is...what will my parents/family think? i really don't care about being dead broke, i've lived a life of "having it" financially already, and i feel like i don't care nearly as much about material posessions now as i used to (good for the bank account, and the parents' credit card). all i really need is a job to get by with...and i don't even care what it is at this point. i just need money so i can live somewhere that is NOT with my parents. i've already mentioned the vagabond life, and as much as i would love to do that, i'm just trying to be practical...it could work but it is a long shot. and before i get that job that will help me to get by, i want to do more travelling anyway, so i figure why not just keep travelling nonstop once i am already over the atlantic ocean...because i am a tad bit afraid of flying. why am i such a craphead? none of this will ever work. i am dreading working...i do not want a boring office job! i don't have to have one though...THANK GOD i am an anthropology major...i guess i really can travel for a job, and live in some of those places i want to live in...all in the guise of "research." but how does one get paid for that sort of stuff? SHARON i need you. i'm seriously on crack. rambling about vagabonding...etc. i'll probably just end up working some 9 to 5 in new york city, living in my bedroom at home...and taking a lot of drugs to try and pretend that is not my reality. JUST KIDDING! i have to get out of this house. just 10 days till school, i think...and that's where i can use my OWN SINGLE ROOM to write many more entries about this internal debate. really though, you know how people say they know what they want to do when they grow up? DO THEY really know or is that a trick? or at least these people have an idea. i am not really good at any one thing...all i like to do is relax, party, and spend time with friends and boyfriend. i like to read too. but not usually when it is assigned. i'm just gonna go listen to phish and wish i was a huge burnout so my parents wouldn't have expectations... as for reality, i went to the beach today. it just turned out to be a nice day so i went. i called matt and asked if he wanted to join again but he had to work but he seemed like he wanted to come...how cute. i want to try and see him again before i leave for school if i can...but he is working a lot and doesn't have a car (after this weekend his sister gets back and reclaims the focus). he SAID he will visit in september with emily and laura...DUBLIN REUNION...but that kind of depends on a lot of different matt factors...how will he get here? will he have the free time? will he have a job by then? see, he's a college graduate facing basically the exact same dilemma i am worrying about...all he wants to do is have fun but due to parents and the like he is forced to find a job he doesn't want...even though he does not mind just working in the deli he is working in now in order to make enough to get by and have fun. by no means do i mean that i want that kind of life for my whole life...one day i want to have kids and such and i will not want to be dead broke then. and i will be perfectly willing to take on responsibility then. i'm just not having kids yet so i want to do what i want while i'm young...stupid parents. school: i'm overly excited now. i'm not quite sure why yet. i hope my classes are good and my schedule gets worked out soon. i'll be a SENIOR that means convocation, disorientation, etc. i didn't do diso when i was a first year, does that make me an ass for wanting to do it now? ha. this entry is kind of embarassing. i really am a hard worker (when i have to be...hehe) and i care about my life, i swear. and i will get a real job eventually....i just don't have any clue what it will be yet. oh and p.s. i still do care a leeeeeetle bit about clothes...i got the cutest shirt yesterday at anthropologie! haha. i'm a tool :) | | Tuesday, August 17th, 2004 | | 11:13 pm |

Rome
"Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to-- Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live." If you haven't seen Roman Holiday...SEE IT! It was amazing. I am not a movie person, I usually zone out during movies, or I get antsy and wish they were over sooner...but I loved this movie. I feel like I am much more of a fan of older movies than more recent ones (but still...Clueless is awesome...and I can't wait to see Mean Girls..haha). Roman Holiday, so good, and I also loved the old Manchurian Candidate, both when I saw it junior year back in Greenburg's AP US History class, and then again this past fall when I watched it in my dorm room. That inspires me to use my new Blockbuster deal (how convenient!) to get some more. I know I listed before but I think I will again just to get my bearings so I remember: The Bicycle Thief, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Italian Job, On the Waterfront, Some Like it Hot, Cool Hand Luke, To Kill a Mockingbird, Talk to Her, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The African Queen, the Grapes of Wrath, the Hustler, a Night at the Opera, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Some of them are re-viewings that I think will be much deserved. Like the Hustler, I haven't watched that since Mrs. Schorr showed it senior year during the tragedy unit and we had to write an essay about how the movie fit into Aristotle's criteria of a tragedy. See Roman Holiday!!! | | 5:06 pm |
i renewed my license today and got one of the new digital licenses. i kind of liked the weird laminated fake look to the old ones, so i'm a little sad, but the license does look pretty cool...and it is horizontal cuz i'm 21 (my sister has a vertical digital license, being under 21 and all). blockbuster has a deal...$14.99 for unlimited movie rentals for one month, and you have 2 movies out at a time. so I think that is a pretty damn good deal for blockbuster, and i'll only do it for this one month (the price goes up to $24.99 a month after the first month) so that I can try to see all the movies on my list. anyone have any good recommendations? i wish more movies had been set in dublin. i'm watching roman holiday and it's making me nostalgic for those...what...12 days I spent in italy? still...it's gorgeous. | | Monday, August 16th, 2004 | | 11:19 pm |
yeah two posts in one day from me, a very rare occurance. but i need some help. i'm not really on the track to any certain minor and i need one to graduate. so basically i screwed myself over and i have to take at least two classes in any one subject to finish the minor and be able to graduate. the ones that can be completed with a relatively low level of difficulty (but not with ease) are my choices. so it's philosophy, french, chemistry (puke), or english i think. i am leaning towards english but only if i can get one of my ireland classes to count for the minor, cuz then life would be good...but the head of the department has not gotten back to me on that and i was of the understanding that i had to get any classes pre-approved before I left in january...so i'm shit out of luck there, maybe. i think i have forgotten how to study. the classes i took last semester were not too mentally challenging. i did learn a lot though...but how useful is the history of ireland really? still i am really interested in all aspects of irish culture and society...and DAMN that works out well seeing as i am an anthropology major. the class that i am trying to get to count for an english minor was "contemporary irish poetry" with the man i am secretly in love with, colin graham. he had that kind of voice that you just want him to come over and read to you every afternoon and night. on top of that he loved amsterdam and when matt and i told him we were going there he told us all of his favorite places to go. oh AND it doesn't hurt that he thought i was the greatest writer of all time (hair flip) and gave me good grades on pretty crappy papers (do you really think i was going to spend massive amounts on time writing papers on yeats when i could be out at a pub? well...at mhc when my gpa counted...maybe, just maybe. but my grades only transferred as pass fail!) how does one go about posting pictures? i feel the urge to do that. i know i linked my pictures sites a while ago, but that would not be as cool as having a picture actually show up here, and i tried what the livejournal help site said to do but it didn't really work, as evidenced below. all i really want right now is: -a minor -a guaranteed job in greece for next summer -a job writing for frommer's (not gonna happen) so i can live in paris again -a margarita -a surfboard -a sunny day so i can get tan -matt i feel like those things would be really satisfying right about now :) | | 1:43 pm |
i'm on my sister's cool new laptop that she just got for school. i'll always regret letting my mom talk me into getting a desktop, laptop is totally the way to go! and now that it is 3 weeks till school OF COURSE my house is getting equipped with wireless dsl. that will be oh so useful when my sister and i leave and there is only one computer and it is a desktop...dumb. but my stupid old dell doesn't support wireless so i am STILL stuck on the dialup. crud. i just went to the bank and got my eyebrows waxed. i really have no idea what i will do with the rest of my day. it's nice to not have work anymore but i have 3 weeks of nothing ahead of me and my sister took this babysitting job from 7:30 to 5:30 everyday so she isn't around to hang out with either, ugh. well, 3 weeks till school, hooray. yesterday borders had 20% off for students with valid id. i lost my one card somehow (i really don't know how. i know that i left it in this one drawer in my dresser when i left for ireland cuz i didn't want to bring it there and then lose it THERE especially since i lost my last one in paris, i figured i was just pushing my luck. so i come back home 4 months later and the card is missing from the drawer. it disappeared into thin air, seriously.) but the moral of this story is that the borders guys took my UCD (university college dublin) id so i felt really cool. one of the books i got was [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] find,>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.] i'm on my sister's cool new laptop that she just got for school. i'll always regret letting my mom talk me into getting a desktop, laptop is totally the way to go! and now that it is 3 weeks till school OF COURSE my house is getting equipped with wireless dsl. that will be oh so useful when my sister and i leave and there is only one computer and it is a desktop...dumb. but my stupid old dell doesn't support wireless so i am STILL stuck on the dialup. crud. i just went to the bank and got my eyebrows waxed. i really have no idea what i will do with the rest of my day. it's nice to not have work anymore but i have 3 weeks of nothing ahead of me and my sister took this babysitting job from 7:30 to 5:30 everyday so she isn't around to hang out with either, ugh. well, 3 weeks till school, hooray. yesterday borders had 20% off for students with valid id. i lost my one card somehow (i really don't know how. i know that i left it in this one drawer in my dresser when i left for ireland cuz i didn't want to bring it there and then lose it THERE especially since i lost my last one in paris, i figured i was just pushing my luck. so i come back home 4 months later and the card is missing from the drawer. it disappeared into thin air, seriously.) but the moral of this story is that the borders guys took my UCD (university college dublin) id so i felt really cool. one of the books i got was <A Good Man is Hard to Find, and other stories> by Flannery O'Connor. I really like her and I kind of want to name my first female child after her. I like that....like a middle name if my husband doesn't agree with that, haha. i am so obsessed with this laptop but i don't really have anything else to say. hmmmm. i think i'll make a list of movies that i really want to see. but i don't think i'm going to see them till i get back to school and the library loans them out for free. i guess i'll check the mhc library catalog for the movies, i am THAT bored. Roman Holiday, the Bicycle Thieves, On the Waterfront, Some Like it Hot, the Italian Job, Cool Hand Luke, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf those are the more critically acclaimed ones....of course MEAN GIRLS is really at the top of my list but that doesnt' come out till september 21. SAME DAY as the vaco cd!!!!!!!!! yesssss. off to check the mhc library catalog...ta ta |
