And I'm procrastinating on the packing bit.

I really need a hair cut/highlights - I just don't want to pay for it. My mother was trying to be helpful since I mentioned this to her yesterday and made me an appointment without my consent. Now, of course, I have to cancel it and I feel bad because I made my mother feel bad. awesome.

i cant live at home

well, this break has been anything but restful
as i first entered the Kincaid household I was given sad news about my dog
shadow is very sick
Day 2 brought sad news about the car
Gertrude is $1200 dollars worth of sick (fyi - bluebook value of the car is MAYBE $500)
Day 3 brought lectures from my parents about jobs for next year. Mom has taken to circling job possibilities for me in the newspaper. Yes, I'd love to design ads for farm equipment.
Why is it that I only know what I don't want, not what I do?
Also, is this Jake G. and Sophia Bush thing for real? boo.

finally - a pretty great birthday

I know it's hard to believe, but I finally finished unpacking and I cleaned my room! Now I won't have to keep the door closed when people come over. I'm so happy. I even rearranged and organized a bit. I feel much better. Well, except for the fact that in the process of cleaning I drank two diet cokes and now I can't sleep! oops. Well, I guess it is a small price to pay to be rid of the shame the squalor before left me in. yippeee!

Jennifer Garner has a new alias now -- mommy. Us Weekly has reported that the Emmy-nominated actress, also known as Mrs. Ben Affleck, has given birth to a baby daughter in Los Angeles. According to the magazine, Garner had labor induced on Wednesday night (her official due date was December 8), and at press time it was unclear whether the official birthday was November 30 or December 1. What is known is that Affleck was by his wife's side during the entire procedure, and according to the magazine, the little girl's name will be Violet. The Daredevil co-stars, who didn't start dating until each had ended publicity-friendly previous relationships (his with Jennifer Lopez, hers with Michael Vartan), were married earlier this year on June 29. After an eight-week maternity leave, Garner is expected to go back to work on her TV spy drama Alias, which will be ending its five-year run in May.

points at strother

Well I am currently sitting in the library attempting (though not very well) to write a rough draft for my seminar paper that is due in approximately 1 hour and 27 minutes. Great. So what have I done instead? Well lets see...I read today's Cathy and related it to my life, shopped for shoes on both JCrew and Ebay, downloaded a new widget so I can type my LJ entries in the Dashboard, and I am now writing this. OH! How could I have forgotten, I stumbled on this great article by a professor all about how procrastination is good. Finally! Some affirmation! Here it is -

I hope that it will help you as much as it has helped me. Ok, I suppose now I must write some other really awful paragraph :(

well this will probably prove strother's theory that my happiness/mood in life hinges precariously on two inconsequential letters - W & B....that's right folks. It has been 2 weeks since we've been promised the WB and we still don't have it! It's so trying on the spirit.

In honor of Centre College gaining access to the WB that does not require hooking up an antenna or squinting through white noise, I've acquired a new icon - like the dork I am. I can't tell you how happy this makes me!

I woke up and went to the gym and as a reward for a good workout I'm allowing myself to skip my first class -- I think that's fair! Too back I can't skip chemistry. This week is already so hectic and I feel like next week's only going to get worse. Silly me committing to things that I no longer want to do.

I had the best afternoon in Lexington on Monday with Susan. It's been a long time and I needed to reaquaint myself. Yikes rosacea for random and long overdue conversations at Steak and Shake.

Watched Gilmore Girls through the static last night and it was so worth it...even if I didn't really know what was going on.

So in addition to being old - I'm also broke....and thinking how very exciting the rest of my life is going to be. Car maintenance and insurance payments, loan payments, credit card payments. yay.

On the bright side - I have a new addiction (like I needed another one) and I have relapsed on another. I am now a fan of Prison Break (mondays at 9 - it can't be helped). Also, I can't stop going to Blockbuster and I'm pretty certain I'll be adding another payment to the list in the form of Blockbuster Online. It's a good deal!

Last night the roommates and I watched Crash. I think I'm going to have to watch it again because everyone loved it but me. I loaned it to Chad this morning and he loved it too. Fabulous. Maybe movie critic isn't in my future after all. But no one can say I didn't like it due to a lack of an attractive cast. Maybe I'm not so shallow after all.

Also - It's harder to make a habit of waking up at 6:30 than I thought it would be...and the elderly are slow in the mornings.

i'm a senior in chemistry

today marks my last first day of classes

there are tons of young people everywhere i look

In alot of ways I am so glad the summer is over. Not so glad that I won't get to see my summer people quite as much, but I'm glad to put it behind me. I'm getting kind of excited about senior year - so stay tuned to what happens next. How can things not be fabulous in a fabulous apartment? I just don't know.

mucho has happened since you heard from me last.

gsp is in full swing. i love my girls, i love my seminar already, the new RAs are fabulous (only returned!) and i've already had my first day off in which i got nothing accomplished

my hall theme is GSP in the City which is not a Sex in the City theme but a Cities of the world theme. My room is located in the Rome pod because it's the only city of the 4 I chose that I haven't yet visited (stupid pope for dying - and i mean that in the most respectful way possible)

probably the most important thing that has happened is that my beautiful pink sparkly credit card was STOLEN! over 300 dollars worth of charges were made and I'm nervous about what will happen next. well, now I have to go.
