The final day

Today, it's cold, rainy, and gray. And I love it. I cannot wait for fall, especially in the big city.

Which reminds me...I leave tomorrow.

I can't believe it's already here. Everything is packed (basically), yet I feel so... cluttered. I'm sure I'm going to forget something.

I also got my new Mac computer yesterday. Jeremiah covered the money. He paid for the entire thing! I am so relieved, but of course, I'm going to pay him back when I get refund money from financial aid. It's so sleek and beautiful, my Mac. Tee hee.

My new life starts tomorrow. I couldn't be more excited and more afraid.

Happy 20.

Yesterday was Jeremiah's birthday. He's officially no longer a teenager. It's pretty crazy to think that he's 20 years old - he still seems like a kid to me, even though I didn't know him before he was 19. I bought him his favorite sandwich from his favorite sandwich shop - Jimmy John's (which were have $1.5o subs in honor of its grand opening in Lake Geneva) - blindfolded him, and then led him to a nice scenic area with a bench overlooking Lake Como. It was such a nice afternoon, and I think he really enjoyed it.

I'm also supposed to be getting him this:






Season 1 of Ghost Adventures of DVD, but it doesn't come out until Tuesday. Shhh.

Today, my mom hosted her first ever "Zumbathon" to raise money for the local animal shelter. It turned out to be pretty successful - we raised $400 for the shelter. She's already planning another Zumba party in October. It was pretty fun and very energetic. People won prizes, I got to lead some songs, a male instructor led a routine to Britney Spears' "Womanizer" - all in all, a good day.

Also, I'm stressing out a bit when it comes to college. I'm supposed to be moving in in two weeks (August 29th), but according to my student account summary, one of my loans from financial aid has disappeared. It was worth around $10,000 for the semester. My semester tuition is $15,000 and I had full coverage. But now, instead of recieving $5,000 back from financial aid, I owe $5,000. I'm desperately hoping that it's a mistake on their end and it will all get figured out. How can a loan for $20,000 a year just magically disappear?

F my life. For now.

I had a dream...

...about this boy:



I helped him sneak away from his job, and we were being chased by his boss and right-hand woman. We went all over the place; rolling hills, a junkyard, a mansion, a shack, even a populated area and a gay high school with cheerleader exotic dancers. It was so romantic and exhilirating.

I need to take some chances in my life.

I think I had this dream probably because I desperately want to see 500 Days of Summer. It gives me warm fuzzies every time I see the trailer. I know it most likely has nothing to do with the plot of my dream, but...come on. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in my dream. He's in the movie. I think we have a winner.

Also [cheese] the trailer makes me desperately miss my own Joseph.

Jeremiah's gone up north for the week, and this is the longest time we've been away from each other since summer began. I'm going crazy with longing. Not to mention boredom. It's only a week, but it's made me realize something big...

I think for a split moment in my dream, Joseph turned into Jeremiah. I could recognize that hair anywhere.

That boy is something else.
