well, i'm back in the student village for the last year of my undergraduate education. it's nice to finally unpack and make my room home. steve's parents drove the van down on sunday night so we could transport my stuff and make moving that much easier. it was really nice of them, and i enjoyed having an automobile to make one trip to the fuller building parking lot instead of five long walks with a cart full of stuff.
we started cleaning and packing on saturday night after we got home from day one of chowdafest. by the way, slow white and the seven dwarves (steve's mixed club team for the fall....i'll post pictures from the weekend soon enough) came in second....without steve playing. he sprained his pcl (posterior crucial ligament, or something like that) in the last game of summer league last weekend, and is out for a bit. okay, so we started cleaning and packing things up on saturday night because theresa was coming to the apartment on sunday to set up her apartment for the fall. when we returned on sunday night, steve's parents drove the van down to boston and we started loading the van with all of my stuff. fun times. lots of trips down and up the four flights of stairs. but we got 90% of the stuff packed on sunday night, not to mention we did laundry and all that fun stuff.
monday was moving day, and we were officially out of 6 buswell at 9:50 a.m. the best time ever. although we did start moving around 7:45 that morning. we had the van loaded at 9:30, drove it over to the fuller building parking lot, loaded our stuff into carts, watched the moving people load my carts into a moving bin, and returned home to take out the trash and check me out of south. the driving, unloading, and checking out took 20 minutes. i was in shock. and very glad that we started moving early. we then proceeded to find a parking spot near 10 buick so we could unload and unpack the carts. we lucked out, and check-in for 10 buick was nice and happy. hooray.
steve scheduled an academic advising meeting at 11, so we walked down to campus for his appointment, and then caught the t out to perd for rehab. i had rehab for my i-t band (stupid tendonitis) and steve did exercises for his pcl. we had dunkin' donuts for lunch, and he drove me to work. while i worked, steve moved out of 41 ashford and was so awesome to unpack the carts we left in the apartment and set up my bed and my bedroom. anywho, we finished unpacking when i returned, and then unloaded his stuff into my apartment for storage. he went home around 6:45, and i met up with simon to do some grocery shopping at shaw's.
at shaw's simon wouldn't let me buy junk food (but that's okay, i guess), so i purchased carrots, celery, veggie dip, turkey, juice, oil, and eggs, and brownie mix. then piper picked us up and took us back to 10 buick to unload her mattress (for storage as well), and then drove us to simon's apartment on bay state to drop off his groceries. simon and i watched the fysop 15 opening ceremonies with some of the sapa's. after it ended, i walked home with danielle and proceeded to organize the mess that was my stuff. it took my three and a half hours, but i'm mostly unpacked, and just need to fold the shirts and socks that are spread about the living room (they're drying). i'll do that as soon as i'm done here. i crawled into bed around 1:30 a.m. and easily fell asleep.
that was my day of moving and unpacking. and now i'm here in the student village ready for the school year. word.
i also think i've done enough babbling for a while....but i'll be back after session 8 and ofis this week/weekend. 7 days until the start of senior year. exciting.
hooray for a nearly pain-free day of moving.

herb
so, i forgot to mention in the last post (or at least i think i forgot to mention) that i purchased a digital camera last week. it's a canon powershot a75, and its name is herb. danielle named him when he arrived last week friday at the office.
that's how i got the pictures from the summer league tournament. i'm really excited to have herb. i'll be able to document senior year much better. hooray for me (again).
okay, that's all i wanted to say in this post.
hooray for herb!

summer league photos
i just posted the pictures i took at the summer league tournament this weekend. the ozone pilots came in 3/4 in the 4/3 division, which is awesome for the team. it was a successful summer for the pilots, and i can't believe it's all over now.
speaking of "over now", the summer is nearly over, and there's about 14 days left before the first day of classes. we'll welcome a new class of pilots, and a new semester of classes. the summer has gone by pretty quickly, but i'm not complaining.
it's time to move again; 6 days until the final one. i vacuumed the apartment, cleaned the bathroom, and took out the trash. not much to cleaning, but i feel that i accomplished something. hooray for me. theresa's stuff has arrived, so it's time for me to organize my stuff and get it ready to move out.
i think that's it for my random blog tonight. i guess i'll write more later, probably tomorrow at work while i'm trying to....work.
every beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

selfish
i was going to start this post with, "it's friday the 13th" but as i look at the clock on my computer, it's actually 12:06 a.m. saturday, august 14th. friday the 13th has come and gone and so has my week off from orientation. this summer, i decided not to go home during my week off because steve was here for the summer, and i wanted to work to make money for my ultimate expenses this fall.
i'm definitely sure that i didn't go home this week because steve is here. i decided that was the one and only reason i didn't go home while i was showering a few minutes ago. and then i realized i was being selfish....again. man, i'm really good at it. and at the same time, i think i'm doing things for others. how'd this reasoning come about? well....i'm going to do my best to piece it together, but the fact still remains the same, i didn't want to leave steve for a week when i asked him to come to boston for the summer. in my mind, that's just wrong. but, as i thought about this in the shower tonight, i left my family behind....again. lori's leaving for college in 11 days, brad is trying to figure out where he wants to apply to college, my grandparents are always wondering how i'm doing and what i'm up to, and i haven't even been a good friend to my friends back home.
i'm not sure if my family expected me to come home this summer, but it was probably a passing thought in each of their minds. and now that the week has come and gone, i was selfish and i should have gone home. just to make the transition for lori as easy as an older sister could make it. just to sit down and talk with brad about the college application process. just to have dinner with my grandparents and have them ask me about my summer in boston and my plans for the school year. just to sit down with my friends and hang out and do what we do best: talk. just to be home and in a place where i don't have to think about anything but being at home. but i didn't go, and it's another four months before i'll see the familiar house again. right now, it's one thing i regret doing, but maybe in a few months, i'll see it in a different light.
enough thinking about it. time to go with the flow. take control of me and do what i know i do best. i really should stop thinking about what others say; it really fucks with me. then again, i let it happen, so it's (once again) in my control. yups, it's time to stop writing and feeling sorry for myself. sleep should let my mind run wild with the thoughts and i should wake up in the morning ready for a new day. okay i'm out.
and on and on it goes.
