My birthday.

Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been over two months since I've written. Summer can keep me away from my laptop, and even further from thinking about my blog.

Besides, I have a job right now. I'm working for Upward Bound at UMass Dartmouth. I'm a tutor/mentor. I act as a teacher's aide/RA, as well as tutor and mentor. The days feel long, but in the end, I'm happy to be working there. The students and my coworkers crack me up.

Before I started working for them, however, I was doing NOTHING. Just straight up nothing. Spending time to myself reading and doing sudoku, and hanging out with friends. It's nice for a while, but I would prefer to be working and making money. (Some friends of mine and I might rent a house in the beginning of the next year. I want to start saving up some rent.) Y'know, I just thought about it, and my summer is a little over half-way over. Wow. What a scary thought.

So I'm with Upward Bound 'til mid-August. I have a week between ending the program and starting job training for my conference office job, I believe. That's the impression I'm under, at least. I'll probably go back to Connecticut for that week to see some family and friends.

The Who are coming to Boston in October. I think I will do just about anything within my power to go to this concert. It's been on my mind. (And Lewis Black is coming to my hometown in October too! I'd love to go see him, but I have a feeling I won't be able to.)

The day has been going well so far. At midnight, Chris and Andie brought out a Hostess cherry pie with a couple of matches in it. I had half of that, and watched some Monty Python. I promptly fell asleep. As for the morning, I've downloaded some Who that I didn't have on my laptop, and I've been generally lazy.

My parents are coming out here very soon, and we're going to go out to lunch. After that, we're going to see "The Dark Knight", which I've heard wonderful things about. There's a pay-per-view event going on at Bil's tonight, so I'm hoping to stay for that. Then I go back to UMD for work tomorrow. Yeehaw.

Abstract got me chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday. :) They is delicious.

Not much else has been going on since.

Oh well. Happy birthday to me.

More later,
