Hmmm, wow, it has been a few very busy days. This is about the only time I've had more than a few minutes on the computer to look at my mail or to check something out on-line. It had been amazing though! I love my classes, so far at least. My first one was english and it was only about a five minute walk from where I am, which is really great because I can have breakfast at the Student Union or the Towers...I figured I can use one meal per day and dinning points for everything else. My english class is about 20 people and I found two more CFA kids there. one is a lighting designer, Chris, whom I really do like and the other is the only sound designer in the entire class, Matt...we call him the hobbit because he is that short, hehe, it's cute. Well, I walked around with Chris on tuesday after class and then we caught the train to the BUT, but I ended up getting off to meet Caryn and go with her. Yeah, we were like 15 minutes late because the trains were very off...they were all going outbound and none of them were coming inbound...and of course the E train never comes when you want it to. But it apparently didn't matter, although I had to stand the entire class because there weren't enough seats for all of us...a clas of about 24. The drawing teacher is so hilarious, I love him! I know I'm going to have fun...even if my work is crappy! I don't care! After that we had a tech meeting and I kind of forget what that was about, but I know it answered a few of my questions about production and the class that ended at nine was moved up and now ends at 6, thank God. We had that class on the roof of the theatre...I think because the class was too hot...of course, the entire building is hot. It's so neat though, it reminds me of some medieval house, with the lights that resemble torches and the halls that are small and everything....kind of like Hogwarts! Anyways...for lunch we went to the New England Conservatory...sorry but their food was not worth $7. of my dining points...which is why I now will use my meal for dinner and points for breakfast...which works out better now that the class ends at 6. I think that night we had a very long dinner with most of the techies..I didn't do any of my homework...but I made up for it yesterday in between classes. (like now I could be doing english, but I felt like I needed to update). Oh dear, yesterdayit rained so much..and I walked everywhere! We were late yet again, and yet again it didn't seem to matter, as long as I don't do it again. I also love my design teacher...she reminds me so much of Mrs. Mauro...and the class was so great...we learned about the Golden Ratio, which I had read about in The Da Vinci Code! So we drew it on tracing paper and we have to continue it until it is about 16x16 and refer to it as our "bible". Amazing class! A lovely break of 2 hours and a meeting about tech production and a colloquium at the costume shop and finally the last class, scene shop...yeah...we all took turns using the table saw...I'm in college to learn how to use the table saw and build things....at least it's artistic...teh scnery onstage now is amazing! The class ended and I walked back ( no train this time) with a new fella I met, a sophomore lighting designer named Dan. We also had dinner together and he actually lives here on Park Drive...awesome...but he has a girlfriend...oh well, he's still a really neat guy. Hmmm...I wanted to do my english homeweok and I realized I left my book in my locker at the theatre, so I asked Emily and Jack if they would like to come with me to retrieve it...so another walk to the BUT, and I showed them around and brought them on stage and everything...it's amazing that all I need to get in is my card...eh..and walking back...and I spent an hour or more working on that huge Golden Ratio thing...where I now have to come up with 3 designs!!!! Well, that's all do next week anyways...for now I have to get lunch and decide if I'm walking to the BUT or waiting for the train...it's a nice day so I might walk...ok...well...thats all...there is a party next week for techies...I might go...lol...well...byes!

WOW...classes start tomorrow...I am excited and at the same time I'm quite scared, I do not know what to expect at all. I was getting used to just walking around Boston and just enjoying myself with all the things to do and different people to be with! I've done so much already! Yesterday I met the freshman guy that moved in downstairs, his name is Jacob. We met when Kelly, Emily, and I were doing our painting in the common room and we asked him to come and join us. ( we had streched canvas and bought paint previously at the art store, where I also spent $250. on art supplies that I needed for two classes this semester....too much I say). Anyway, so yeah, he helped us and then all the guys eventually came along and helped...it was so much fun, we just splattered paint everywhere! After that we went up to our room where we just talked forever and then JJ came along. Soon after that one guy I had not met yet came up and introduced himsel, his name is Danon...when I said my name I really did not expect the reaction I got...oh so you're Jessicaz...I've heard a lot about you! What is that supposed to mean? Well, we all soon left for the comedy skecth at the towers...which was pretty funny, but I thought it would better...I don't remember what we did after that, I just know that I didn't want to go to bed yet. I eventually did, and this morning we had to go to matriculation, the opposite of graduation, the first of 2 times that we get to sit together with our entire school/college. They called out our schools and we had to stand...CFA started the whole screaming trend! After that it was off to Splash where we got tons of free stuff! I finally met up with Caryn and Kayliegh! We spent the afternoon together looking for our classes, which is basically all over at the Huntington Theatre...I think it took us about 30 minutes to get there by T. Once we got there we could remember where we were and we walked around a completely deserted building...we even walked onstage! The scenery was so pretty! We eventually found the offices of our teachers and we saw that they should be in because it wasn't that late...and we saw a name Caryn remember as being her tour guide and she said that he was really cute...(this does have a point)...then we noticed that there was a light inside...and we told kayliegh to knock on the door, which she did, and guess who was at the door? The cute tour guide who does lighting design whose name is Caleb, which kaliegh had aslo mentioned that it was a pretty name. So we just stood at the door looking like little girls who had just seen the prettiest boy ever. After we asked him about our lockers (which really was why we came there) we just ran away laughing and we went for Starbucks for coffee to calm down...oo it was so mcuh fun! We eventually went shopping for more art supplies and went back to our dorms...I met them for dinner at Sleeper and then we went to Kalieghs freinds (David, who is here for one year to catch up on academics before he continues with is acting major) room to look at some ebaums.com, the funniest stuff I have ever seen! oh man, I just met the cutest fella ever! His name is Jake...dear me...but I think he is gay..damn...so is David! For crying out loud! Why must every guy I like be either gay or have a girlfriend! (and Emily likes JJ....) Well, we then went to the GSU for some bingo and other things...I met another guy, who I know is also gay, he just sat next to me out of nowhere so I talked to him...after Bingo we went to check out this blown up thing that you attach yourself to with a bunjee cord and you try to run as far asa you can and then let it fly you back...OMG was that sooooo mcuh fun!!!!!!!!! We were all laughing so much! I so hurt my head...I swear I saw stars a few times!!!! Well, that was as much fun as I can remember for now. my only silly concern is that I really am attracted to either the gay guys or the ones that have girlfriends...WTF!?!!! damn! Oh well...I think Caleb is the only one so far that I have yet to see if he is one or the other...I don't think he is gay and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a girlfriend...dude...I don't understand this...what is it with me and these guys? I'm just not meant to attract great guys...or I will be doomed to be attracted to only gay and taken men...for the rest of my life...alright alright...college has only just begun, but I've already noticed a trend...I met 3 gay guys in one damn day! ERRRR....anyways...at least I saw Caryn today and we relaxed after figuring out what our daily schedule is going to be...hmmm...tomorrow should be interesting...well...I think maybe I should go to bed...I'll tell you about it then...after our house meeting is over! Buh byes!

I really do not know where to start. I forget when I wrote last...I left off at Friday afternoon didn't I? Yeah I think I did. What did I do after that? Oh no wait...I went to Harvard Square and that Australian dude. I think after that I just slept a bit and then I got up again but I forget what for. All I know is that Saturday morning my roomates and I took the train to the public gardens and we went for a jog and we walked all the way back to our dorm by way of Newbury Street, where all the expensive chic stores are...then we went to breakfast at the Crispy Crepes Cafe..ooo so good! Later kelly went shopping with her parents and I went to lunch with Emily and her friends..who maybe are mine now too? I mean, I do get along well with Jason and John, not too much with the girls though...
Lunch was great...and after that we decided to go to the Modern Art Instsitute...and we saw this really neat exhibit for only $5. Then we walked around the Prudential Mall and decided to go to Harvard Square...but we never got there because the red lines were closed...odd...so we stayed at Park Place...which is really nice too..we walked and I took pictures yet again...Emily bought a frisbee...and then we went to H&M, it was so crowded there! We left at around 7 and ate at Sleeper Hall and then I went back to my room where Kelly showed me what she bought ( God that girl has so much money)...and we took another walk back up to the public gardens...(that made 3 times for me in one day)...we bought 2 butterfly chairs for $25. from some lady who wanted to get rid of them. When I got back I met Emily at the Warren Towers and we and her friends..John, Jason, Katie, Tollie, and I forget the other girls name...we all went to the BU beach to play Frisbee...after an hour JJ called and I left to have a walk walk with him..he was hungry so we bought dunkin doughnuts..oh well. I showed him my room, lol, and we can all have parties in it later when it's all set up with the tv and everything. He left and Kelly, Viladi, and I talked to 3 in the morning...wondering where Emily was...she ended up beng downstairs in the common room with everyone else. Oh well, today I had breakfast with JJ and later we are all going to explore a bit more and do some shopping. I really don't have money for this city...you spend it so fast! I started with $100. on Thursday and now I have $39. I don't even remember what I bought. I know I forgot a few things, so I had to go to CVS, and I kept buying drinks because it was so hot the other days, and I had to get food all day Friday and one meal on Saturday! It's amazing how fast money goes! well, I have to get going. I'm meeting people soon to go on our little expedition! TATA!

I also had Indian food today, very very good (some place near Harvard Sqaure...oh yes..there was a cray australian doing a stunt when kelly and I got off the train...very funny. Now I'm quite confident that I know how to use this train system...not so difficult. All in all it was a very productive day! I got my ID card, my T-pass ( that took awhile)...my books, and Kelly and I went shopping to see what to do for the room...many ideas, including large painting done by us over for over the mantel and a crazy design on the wall with christmas lights:) This is so neat! Well, Saturday now...cleaning day and more exploring! TATA!

! Sept. 2 ! I’m here at last….!!! Boston is so amazing! But before we got here, the way here was quite a trip…that little can that we rented was so crappy…I don’t think that ever saw a smaller van in my life! Anyways, mike and I sat comfortably back there and my dad was driving…he is a scary ass driver! But this time I wasn’t complaining because I know I would have never been able to drive a van loaded with crap...the shocks were all off and it drove like a train! All of a sudden this light came on and this incessant beeping was almost always on! Mike and I tried to figure out what the hell it was! It was scaring the crap out of me ! I thought the worst…what if it’s the tires or something…we’re not going to make it….then we realized that it only turns on when the van turns left, probably because the weight was shifting around…or something about the door…so when we reached the end of Taconic parkway, we pulled over and just slammed the door harder…sooo much better, I relaxed after that…so the rest of the way was much more calm. When we got here, finding this place was easy enough…and I got my keys! One fat one for the front door and a thinner one for my room. They didn’t have my ID card, so I have to get that later today…L We unloaded all the stuff and this very nice (and cute) guy who also lives in the house helped us…so nice of him…and he showed me the common room and ..yeah…fun times ahead! Then the van decided to start up! Errrr….we had to call those darn people who screwed up giving us the van in the first place…I don’t know how but the van ended up starting and they had to leave earlier than I thought they would…they left at like 12:00...so I was alone for a lot of the day. I finished up everything in my room though…except that I have so many books and no bookshelf! So my roommate and I are going to go shopping Saturday…or Sunday? Actually, this entire floor is going shopping togetherJ My 2 roommates and the other two in the next room. Well, after I put all my stuff away…pictures to come…I went for a walk…I walked up and down comm. Ave…all the way to east campus (believe me that’s far)…and I went to the BU barnes and noble to buy some books…but then I realized I didn’t have my ID)…so I walked back up…all the way to west campus…which is even farther because south campus where I am is sort of in the middle.. I hate crossing the street,…I just keep walking and I decide to cross at the most inopportune moments…when the light turns green…so I just keep walking farther instead of waiting…and when I do get to cross….I have to wait in the middle to cross to the other end…nothing like Rt 9...there’s a train involved this time! Anyways, back down at warren towers I met up with nate…well…more like he spotted me from his car…which I didn’t expect at all…no details, but it was fun I have to say…we watched the Prince and me…hehe….such a cute movie! I forget his name, but the prince in the movie is beautiful! Well, then he drove me back to my house….and sadly my roommate wasn’t there..so I called her and she and I met up …at warren towers again and we went up to her friends room where we listened to Bush give his speech at the RNC. I caught about 30 minutes of it and in that time there were to people carried off! Ugh…Bush…he really doesn’t know what he’s doing…we had a nice discussion about many hot topics in politics…which I truly enjoyed…So I met 3 new people, Jason, john, and Katie! ( I met my second roommate earlier…she came by to see the room). Well, I think I went to sleep at around 12:30..after roommate Emily and I talked about how to decorate the room…Christmas lights and a huge canvas painting that we will doing on Sunday or Monday? Well, for now, that’s all...I have to call Caryn and see where she is…I might help her move in…and then off to get my card and change my meal plan and find where my mailbox is…I have a feeling I have mail already…well…off to explore some more of Boston…which we will all do again on Saturday! BYES!

I can NOT believe that all my stuff doesn't fit into that stupid little van! AHhh..I feel so terrible bringing so much stuff with me! It's not even all of it...I'm leaving that Tv and some clothes...I don't care about the TV...i seriously don;t have time to watch it anyways...so my parenst have to come back on Sunday...which they were going to anyway...and bring me my things...oh well...I suppose that's alright...they'll be at meetings all day anyway...so that means I do have the day to myself...and I shouldn't be so mean anyway...I love my parents...even though I really can not wait to get there! Such high stress today with that damn van! First of all, when my dad got there to go pick it up...it wasn't there...because the owner decided to let someone else take it for the day...I don't know how you forget someone who reserved it two weeks ago! So...dad stayed there waiting for it...I think for like 2 hours...they told him it was in Beacon...NOT...the people were all the way down in Brookline! The man was nice enough to come and drive it back up for us...well...for the damn company rather...their stupid ass mistake! Well...loading it...what freakin fun! I can't wait to unload it! WHOOO! I talked to a girl who is in my house and she says that its pretty spacious...so I'm not worried...my parents are yelling at me for bringing too much...but I seriously am only bringing what I ...need? Errr..I don't know...oh well...tomorrow will be over soon enough...parents do have to come back for Mike anyways and drive him to Baltimore Friday morning. Ummm...well I don't want to spoil the fun of tomorrow by writing too much about it...so I'll write after it all happens..all excited! :) Until then...my first day in Boston! :)

HAHA! It is...ok afternoon not morning, my bad...well, more packing to do...I just keep looking at all my books and wondering if I should bring them...knowing that I will never have time to read Harry Potter while I'm there, it's just that I like having them...I love my books...so maybe I will bring them? I know I'm bringing LOTR, but that's because I really have not read those...I can't seem to get through them because I know what is going to happen...the movie just runs through my head as I read...maybe I'll even bring a few other good books...no...maybe just Harry Potter...I suppose that's all for books...everything else I got settled...I'm bringing christmas lights and my really pretty ornaments to decorate around...something...lol...I talked to one of the people in the house, she's moving in today and she said she would call me to tell me what the room is like. I forgot to ask if we have a carpet...that whole thing about buying one in Boston and carrying it around, maybe I wouldn't mind so much if a nice guy wanted to help me carry it...hehe ;) Oh, apparently we have balconies, but we can't use them, so what's the point? I suppose it just looks nice and you can pretend to be on them if you stand close enough...haha! Each floor has like 3 rooms, 2 doubles and a triple, so that's 7 people on one floor (and a bathroom for each floor...) which means the entire house has about 21 people...so nice! I'm loving it already!
Well, I just keep thinking that I wish I could drive! Everytime I go out, I keep seeing Beetles everywhere!!! I miss my buggy soooo much! It felt like when I had mine around I would never see one and now that I don't they are everywhere, taunting me!!! And I know in Boston there will be more of them because they're small! My saftey bubble is gone...man:( Well, I'm thinking of getting a different car after college...a more...roomier car to say the least. I know I want a VW...gotta love those German engineers! I think I want a Jetta...always wanted one of those...maybe red...but silver was always my favorite...I wanted a silver bug, but black was great! I have no idea why this came to be a thought...I just miss my car, and driving...:( Ah...life goes on!
Still thinking about cutting my hair when I get to Boston...I don't know what to do, but I really need a change. I do know that I want highlights...a redish-amberish burgandy color...and I want it angled...last time the hairdresser barely did anything, so now I'm more confident and I can go shorter in the front and have my hair still be long! Straightening will never work for me because I seriously don't want to spend an hour in front of the mirrior every morning...I have other things to do besided look at my hair...which is so not that amazing! Well! Someone give me some advice and help! AHHH!
Ok, yeah the tattoo I just put on me..not a big deal...IT'S FAKE! Geesh! And it's pretty...looks like something I could have drawn myself...but I didn't...It'll come off in a week...ugh...I'm tired of rambling about nothing you care about! So I'll stop for your sake...lol...I'll be packing if anyone decides to talk to me..finally...leaving Thursday morning! WHHOOO!

I just realized I don't know where I'm going to put all of my art supplies!!!! I have so much of it...seeing as most of it I don't want to have to rebuy...unless it's all used up, obviously...and I think...should I bring some of my smaller art works? LOL...to show off?...hehe..J/k...I can decorate my room with some of them! It's just that these things are so huge...my portfolio is enormous! Considering the size of my corner that I'm expecting...I don't know where to put stuff! I seriously hope that my teachers don't ecpect us to do projects in our dorms..I don't have room to sprawl out like I do at home...and at home I have bigger rooms that I don't care if I make a mess in...now I'm sharing with people I'm sure don't want art supplies all over the place..even if I keep it all in my corner...and frankly...I don't want my dorm to become a studio...as much as I love my studio at home...it's not to be shared with my bedroom...lol..oh well, we see when I get there!I think that was my small realization for the day, after all that figuring out of what to bring...now I'm just going to sit around and...wait for something...I don't know what that is...

07:16 pm - Ugh....
HA...yes I realize it's not morning...good evening all! Not that chipper today...in fact, I'm just really tired of looking at this mess in front of me...literally and metophorically (is that a word?) Anywho...I want to start with yesterday...lol..seeing as I didn't write anything then. Ummm...I woke up early...and my family and I went to Church together for the first time all summer...I don't know why I decided to share that...then mother and I went shopping...well, there goes ALL my money I ever made this summer! I have about $200. still to come, but I don't know when...Marcia apparently is mailing me my last two checks to Boston...I went to work yesterday to see if my check was there...low and behold, it was not! Least I got a free cookie! Errr...at least now I won't be tempted to spend it. Let me see, I bought shoes...lol...and a fan! Thank God, I so need one...I got me a bag with Snow White on it too! I culdn't decide between Cinderella or Snowhite...then I figured I would get the pale brunette like me...hehe...anywho! At home, I really can not remember what I did...and it wasn;t even that long ago...Mike just kept reminding our parents that this is the last dinner together...errr! I really do not need to see anyone crying! If they do, I'm turning around and running! Then, guess who freakin decided to call!? Took me by surprise! Which I kinda like better anyways :) So..I forget for ow long we talked, but it was very enjoyable! After that long talk..I watched 007...yay! Pierce Brosnan...spelling his name...I don't know how! He called again soon around 11 for 5 minutes to say good night...awww:) I don't know what to do! Of course, after I meet him I'll be able to decide better, but I don't know about relationships anymore! It's a confusing and hard to explain feeling...better told in person, but other than that, yes I am looking very forward to everything about Thursday! Which is in 3 darn days! If you don't count today and if you count Thursday itself. I went to bed around 3, I sat up watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics...it was so wonderful! All the culture! The dances were crazy and the costumes were even crazier!!!!! OMG were the costumes soooo neat! Especially the Chinese ones! And the music in so many languages...makes me happy! (Just incase you don't know, the 2008 Olympics will be held im Bejing, China). I just love how the Olympics brings us closer together! (I just wonder how those damn ploiticians appreciate it! That Republican protest in NYC was craziness!) Well, enough about that!
This morning, ugh...I woke up and decided to put things away! I figured out what art supplies I'm bringing...so thats settled...adn I got some stuff out of my room...not really a whole lot...I broke a picture frame in the process:( That took me a few hours, and tomorrow I'll do all my clothes and other little things that I know I'll forget...I wish I knew if there is a carpet in my room. I want to get a rug, but I don't have money, and if I get one in Boston i'll have to carry it with me through the streets and on the train...eh...get a cab I guess..oh dear..it is so hot again...I need to go to a pool...I haven't gone swimming since the 4th of July...and I haven't driven since then either...I miss driving! And I'll miss it even more in Boston! Oh well...god this is so pathetic..I don't know what to think anymore...very annoyed at myself...I think I'm going to stop now...in a low mood...I need someone to talk to...:(...well later peoples!

Another day at Marist ...yay...dear me...it is so lonely here...there si only one class going on and there are only two people in that class! Amazingness. I don't know what there is to do here...I've been reading my new art history book that I bought yesterday, I found a huge picture of a sculpture by Bernini that was in the book Angels and Demons...it's so amazing to actually see it...lol...(silly me, I actually enjoy learning about all the things the Church doesn't want us to know...oh well, it's fun!) Then I went on -line to look up other stuff and I tired to break the Da Vinci code, lol...I got pretty far, but then I started to forget the names of all the sculptures and paintings...so, maybe I'll try again later, with the book in my hand.
Hmmm...last night was interesting...Jeremy and JC came over to see Mike, and so did Jaqueline, so we all went mini golfing at around 8:00...twas fun! Sort of...just that we all sucked...except jeremy who probably won, I don't even think we did the scores at the end of the game...we just started not to care...we were holding up the people behind us terribly...lol. And not only that...I lost my freaking ball!!!! I think it was hole number 13 and there was a turn and a rock right in the way..so i wanted to hit it hard enough to get around the darn rock...instead it hit the side stones and bounced into the bushes beyond the little fence..and then it was gone...into the water...because, lucky for me (as always), that one part of the fence right where I hit the ball to was broken, so it fell into the water and sunk...:( The whole rest of the game Jeremy and I shared his ball...Haha...what a fun little night...after that JC wanted to go to Walmart...I so did not want to go shopping anymore(even though I'm going today after I finish here)..so I stayed in the car and talked (while trying to nap) to Jeremy...who is only leaving for the Air Force in February...so basically he is all alone for the entire fall! :( I will miss him so, and I really do think he'll miss me and all of us very much...I sort of wish he weren't going to the Air Force...but of course i can;t do anything about that, it is what he wants to do...I'm quite sure he was thinking about us leaving...he always seems to be very contemplative...and sad a lot of the time...I kind of wish he would tell me...but that's ok too.
Well, I think that was all for last night really. Nothing much new here today excpet that I went to the dentist...oh what fun that is! And then I got here (Marist, incase you forgot)...and Matt R. was here and so we talked for a bit and I basically lost an hour because he told mother I only got here at 12 instead of my actuall arrival at 11...because we talked for an hour instead of him leaving when I came...ask me if I really care? (if you guessed no...good) WOW...the phone just rang...for the first time all freakin day! and it was a wrong number! whoopdedo! hmm...exciting...lol...well...I don't quite have much to say now...wondering a lot about next week..I don't know what I'm going to do now...seems like I have too much to try to do...eh..I'll figure it out when I get there...don't want to get too ahead of myself...oh...and my first day of Intro to Design, I have to bring 18x24 paper and errr..great...what fun that will be! Until next time then!
