  i'm so depressed... first of all, i don't think i've ever updated my blog so much in such a short period of time. i think it's mostly due to bloggers new templates and comment section. i want people to tell me they like me :) secondly, i'm very very depressed. on this cold and windy ass day, one year ago, me sarah jaime nia and stacey all threw on our caps and gowns, and graduated from college. now at the time, i was ready to get the hell outta there. i think collectively, all of our away messages during the last few weeks of school consisted of, "fuck you fuck you fuck you're cool fuck you i'm out. " and it was true, we were ready to get the hell outta there. senior week started off smoothly. oh who the hell am i kidding i think me and stacey were the only two there on time. i knew it was on when we were banging down the doors to the liquor store at 9am.
we drank up and headed out to the address where i think 99.9% of attendees were wasted, we got our wristbands, and headed back to our rooms to get ready for new york. that was the first night wasn't it?? and by headed back to our rooms to get ready, i mean take a nap. oh that's right, you're never too old to take naps. nia went to get "ice" and came back 2.5 hours later with a satisfied look on her face.
we won't get into that. new york sucked to say the least. jekyll and hyde was awful, and the bowling alley was waaaaay overpriced, same with the nightclub. so we walked around the city until it was time to head home. the next day we woke up nice and early and headed to great adventure. sweet sweet great adventure. for those of you not familiar with my theme park antics, i like to walk briskly...well who am i kidding, i RUN to the nearest roller coaster.
so i grabbed everyone's hand and made them run towards superman, which had just opened. everyone was cursing me out, saying how scary it was, and as we got closer, i was a little nervous too, but they strapped us in, and we were ready to go. until......the seats tilted back so you're facing the ground. this is when i looked to my left, and people were giving me the evil eye, and i looked to the right and saw people giving me the evil eye.
i swear i think i saw a few people mouth "i'm going to kill you" but, the ride was AWESOME. and i think we'll all admit to that. shortly after beth met up with us, and fun was had by all. later that night was Atlantic city. beth and sarah headed down to meet up with chris, i headed down with dave, and stacey jaime and nia headed down on what can only be called, "the tone deaf bus. " eventually i met up with beth and sarah, but nia jaime and stacey were too bitter to talk to us. we had fun harrassing people on the boardwalk. beth was so drunk she flung off her shoes and staring doing wierd things right in front of a cop, and chris tobin was obsessively grabbing my ass.
but hey, i didn't mind. we ALL slept in the next day and ended up missing the senior BBQ. the night was the senior formal, but we all passed that up and headed into katmandu for a free dinner. mmmmmm. the problem was, we all got so drunk, well except for nia, that all we wanted to do was go to sleep!!! so we headed home, much to nia's dismay, ("i'm NOT mad!!! ") and passed the fuck out. graduation morning. oh what can be said. it started with us cracking open the champagne and trying to figure out how the hell to put on our cap and gowns!!! i swear getting outta a chinese finger trap would've been easier. nia was walking down the hall, bottle in hand babbling when ooops!! there's my ENTIRE FAMILY. she meeks out a "hi" and runs yelling "your mom is here!!! watch out!!
" at this point, i don't give a fuck if they see me drinking!!! luckily, mommy helps us all get dressed. she even brought donuts. so we head out to the meeting place and jaime had to go with her education crew :( but the rest of us got to sit together. when we finally started walking, sarah repeated for about 10 minutes, "stick together guys" "guys stick together" i think at some point all of us snapped at her.
WE'RE IN A CROWD OF 3,000 PEOPLE SARAH, WHERE DO YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA GO!!! we get all nice and situated, and the ceremony begins. i'm babbling throughout the entire thing, and right after the star spangled banner i decide to tell stacey, VERY LOUDLY, "i'm like so what i'm druuuuuuuuuunk. " yeah, lots of people besides stacey heard me considering the stadium was DEAD SILENT. stacey got mad. very mad. i had to zip the lip for the rest of the ceremony. it's kinda wierd what's happened over the past year, although only a few major things, i'd like to think i've still changed...for the better. but i'm still depressed. i'm a college graduate, of the college of new jersey, the best public school in the country, damn near ivy league, and i'm an auto counselor at AAA. although i love my job, i pictured myself at a better place then this. living on my own, making decent money, being able to stay up past 9pm. ah, life is full of disappointments.
