A beautiful girl can make you dizzy....
i was feeling an entry.

i wanna start this off by saying i love john young. He completely made my night tonight, and i'm so glad that i'm able to call him my best friend. i miss him like crazy and i wish that college didn't tear us apart. Thanks giving is going to be a time to remember.

speaking of which, i have 11 days off. unbelievable. I was under the impression that our tri-mester university was just like all the others. and i asked ashley today, and she was like yeah thursday, and i was like... thursday is thanksgiving, and she was like noooooo. it made my day, i'm so dumb. its so cool, so i believe i'm going to vermont for that weekend, before thanksgiving, to see john and all the others up there. so everyone that goes there reading this, make plans with me through comments, if you are so inclined.

life is good/bad. work is a lot of fun, but unfortunately the manager who makes it fun is leaving, so i have a lame manager to look forward to. i'm feeling like i won't be there much longer, but who knows. This college is like job central. Everywhere i look thers an opportunity, and i really would rather be on the line working my ass off then dollying around making sandwiches. its money, and i hate saying that. i enjoy it, but i think i could definitely enjoy it more.

J-woo is overwhelming. My classes aren't hard, but there is so much stuff to do otherwise. I'm on the frisbee team as well as the special functions club, and both of these take up the majority of my time.

Frisbee is pretty much the greatest thing thats ever happened to me. Its weird how much i dislike most sports, and how much i love frisbee. Playing with people who are decent at playing is up there on my absolute favorite things to do. its like a release, an emancipation, a relief, if you will. afterwords i feel a million times better, in like every way. its hard to explain. i'm so happy i get to play like on a weekly basis. before it was like "hey you wanna go play at nichols?" oh hollis. i really miss home. in a weird sort of not-missing way.

Special Functions club is fun. We do functions that happen around the area and on campus. Like prep/cater/whatever they need. You get to meet so many people, the connections are endless around not only providence but like the world. thats why i said earlier that there are so many opportunities all over the place.

I need an apartment. I hate dorms, and i hate ezra, and shamarie is ok. I hate that i can't come home and talk to like my mom, without having to go out into the cold, so ezra can get some rest, even though he has class at fucking 1:30. he's a douchbag, and i really really want to move. even to another room, would make me happy. theres talk, but i want there to be action. theres no way i'm living here next year.

i'm starting culinary labs next tri which consist of 6 hours of lecture/kitchen-dining room from 7 am to 1pm monday-thursday in classes such as traditional european cuisine, stocks, sauces, & soups, intro to baking & pastry etc. its going to be rough, but i'm so excited. my academics are a joke. they are not necessary, and i wish i had decided on different ones. i tested out of math, so i have no classes tuesday, so i'm basing things on work, and its going to suck come next tri.

i miss adam. he got dropped from the college because of some lame-ass meat cutting chef and i won't go into it, but hes coming back next tri and he has 3 labs with me. i'm pumped. but we got to hang out this weekend which was cool. boston is always a cool place to be, and i saw leesh-bag, tyler, dave, jen, and katie, and of course, the beautiful erica getto, which is never a bad thing.

its 12:34 at the moment i'm typing this.

i'm going to see dave on the 15th with miss getto, and i'm very excited. i found a few more people around here that enjoy dave, one being bristol's roommate. i like dave fans. i also saw the wailers the other night, and apprantly marc hawkshurst was like 5 feet away from me and i didn't even know it. crazy. rusted root is coming, as well as medeski,martin, and wood, guster, and darkstar, and i think bristol may have gotten tickets to fiona apple? but i'm not sure. music is a good thing, and its prevalent here. i love it. new music. its a good thing.

life has its ups and downs, as usual, but i feel like things are generally going better than worse. lets hope it continues.

i feel like i'm missing something. oh well.
