Tuesday morning I woke up early, got packed and drove up to Jennie's house. Seeing as I was to get there by 8AM, that put me in the middle of rush hour traffic, but it wasn't as bad as expected. When I got there, they had just woken up so I waited for a while. I had already eaten breakfast but we went out to Tim Hortons for my breakfast #2. It was Jocelyn's first time to Tim Hortons and I'm glad she enjoyed it! Then we were off to Sandusky! We didn't take 70 so we hit A LOT of red lights on some country highway...then we were stuck at railroad tracks waiting for the train to pass...then stopped at ANOTHER RR but I don't know why it was blocked...eventually we managed to just drive around the barriers...
It was a Beautiful day, a little less than 80F, sunny, no clouds, and a mild cool breeze. We stopped by the Meijer near Cedar Point to get card-tickets...I managed to freak out every machine I tried to buy them on...I think the people at the store were a little irritated but we eventually got out of there and to the park! The park is so big! And so fun! before the entrance there were topiaries of the peanut gallery, which I was very excited about...then found that snoopy was everywhere at Cedar Point! Rode the major rides, got bruised up, have a couple welts, lots of junk food (Jocelyn and I really went all out on Dippin'Dots)...it was an expensive day...Then I bought Flyin Ace Snoopy from the Snoopy Boutique! and we took pictures in the Pumpkin Patch! It was like being a kid, tossed around...almost literally...that day. I am still a little worn out but it was so worth it! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards...lots of food...I had caffeine...
Then I had to pee on our ride home...but there were no stops for like an hour because we were in the middle of nowhere and everything was dead. Managed to make it to civilization and a gas station! the rest of the ride home was smooth...took a few minutes of a nap...then we got to Jennie's house...and then I drove home...very sleepy.
I didn't fall asleep right away...I was sore and overwhelmed by all the excitement of the point so I stayed up watching some really cheesy Jackie Chan movie (Spy next door).
Wednesday morning I met up with them at Easton for brunch at NorthStar Cafe, then bid adieu to Jennie & Eng and spent the next few hours bonding and shoppin with Jocelyn (we hit greaaat sales). It was so good to catch up and just enjoy good conversation and company!
Came home, chilled...I've been a bum since then pretty much...
Got a call from ODH HR today, I start work July 5! woowoo! finally! Other than that, I'm still trying to figure out my Columbus PH internship...but they're at a conference...so I have to wait...I want to get stuff figured out!
But now, I'm just chilling with my snoopy next to me...probably headed to Tuttle tonight to find more work clothes. Here's the thing, work clothes shopping isn't all that fun because stuff is either really expensive or the styles are so boring! I wish I could work first and then get the clothes with the money I earned instead of clothes then work. Sigh* Oh well, there's a big sale event going on at Banana Republic tonight starting at 5pm, so that's probably what I'll do...scope it out. Then what? I don't know, but I'm going to enjoy the down time to myself :)

Above and Beyond
Thursday night was a blast, the Above & Beyond show was great. I felt a little old as it looked like a lot of the audience were in high school, well, as the night began. After a while, the crowd diversified a lot...
Music was amazing. Above & Beyond is so interactive! and the weather was beautiful.
Friday we went to the Mall...I didn't buy anything but I still enjoyed scoping stuff out. Besides, I had already found deals a few days earlier. Afterwards, it was storming like crazy. Of course Josh thought it was some adventure even as half the traffic pulled over to the side on 670 because nobody could see anything. It was raining/storming so we couldn't go to the pool...that, and the pool apparently closes at 10pm :\
Saturday we explored Park Street, North Market, and just wandered Short North. Saw a really pretty German typewriter at this one store...if I had random money to be spending on decor I so would buy that...The other stores were cool too, and I introduced Josh to Jeni's splendid icecream! his had beer, of course he enjoyed it :P Then we went to Tony's grad party, then we all went out. It was a really fun night :) even though we didn't get to bar hop...Next time he's around I'll take him to some of the fun little bars on Short North. Also, Jennie's new bf is pretty cool.
Woke up very tired. Josh had to go home early to work :( Time goes by way too fast! *sigh*
Anyway, did some errands, bought some paint and canvases...and went to work. Have a few layers done, now need to make tweaks and add a lot of details/blend and we'll see how it is. I'll work on it more tomorrow. May came over not long ago, we went to get more art stuff, for a drive, had dinner, and watched Limitless. Awesome movie. Highly recommended. I am tired. At least now I'll never be bored with my canvas and new paint! got it for 50% off with a coupon too...was really tempted to get the super expensive set...but maybe next time...next time...haha.

Great end to my first year of Graduate school!
Woke up at 5am-ish...had coffee, chilled, and got ready for school. Traffic was amazing...I managed to hit only green lights all the way down fifth ave, I think that's like five or so lights? I was very excited. Parking was a breeze, and it wasn't too muggy at 7am, yay! Chitchatted with the girls before the exam started...I hope that exam went well...I know there is at least one problem I totally botched but, hopefully I get partial credits for the follow-up...
Afterwards, a bunch of us went to Hangover Easy on Neil. I think I accidentally gave them the customer copy of my receipt, darn...I guess we'll see what happens online on my credit card bill! I hope they don't tip themselves ridiculously or something because that's just wrong. We'll see what happens.
Hangover easy was so much fun though! it was great to be with fun people, the mimosa hit the spot, and I actually ate melon! the one healthy thing I did today probably.
Afterwards, May and I went to the mall. Work clothes! Bought awesome shirt and dress pants on sale as well as my first pair of jeggings. The pants were too long for us so I took them in tonight. If I had a sewing machine it'd look even better but it's good for now. Good deals!
Then we decided to have KFC. Way public health. I was wasting a lot of the chicken bc it was sorta dry on the inside and I felt gross...yet I suppose I saved some of my health ;). Though, it doesn't really help that I mostly like the skin if it's not a leg.
Went to Wal-Mart to get thread, and shortened my dress pants before I went over to May's to carpool for dinner. It was May, Randy and I and HBHP kids...of course the HBHP kids decided to go to Bernards instead of stay at Eleven w us, but I think we got the better end of the deal with good food! it was a fun time, we eventually went to Bernard's to meet up with the others, then we introduced Randy to Jeni's ice cream -- about time! though he wasn't super impressed, it's still delicious on such a hot/muggy day.
Then I eventually got back to my apartment and started doing laundry. I'm really sad that I'm missing a hiking sock. I only have two pairs, only one pair was not super thick...and now it's missing it's partner...I need to get more hiking socks. At midnight I finally finished laundry, shortening the jeggings, and put laundry away. I am now enjoying some hulu-time, staying awake without doing anything useful, and enjoying the start of my summer! Looking forward to amazing laziness.
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
Cus today I swear I'm not doing anythin...--Lazy Song-Bruno Mars

Almost through with Spring Qtr 2011!
It's been a pretty good day...
I've been trying to feel a little more energetic lately to promote my whole toning up and being healthier thing. About half of the time I use the ab ball instead of my computer chair as I do work. I try to jump around, do some exercises, zumba, stretches, etc. Just trying to fit it in here and there.
I hope this lasts.
This morning's Epi final was hopefully good. I made a couple dumb mistakes but I hope that's it.
This week has been a little slow. Netflix is taking over, I have no motivation for school because there is a mismatch between the amount of work I put forth and what I receive so at this point I don't feel like there's much of a point. Also, the exams are so particular and detailed, it's pretty easy to miss Something anyway...
Today, I took a nice drive out to Filene's Basement in Dublin. It is huge! and sort of annoying to navigate. Came out with two belts. I have been needing a new regular belt because my other one is too small now :(, another reason I need to work on this health thing. The drive was nice though, I really enjoy Riverside/Dublin/33 because it is scenic, not slow, and the traffic can be pretty open. Today was just ok in terms of traffic though.
Made myself food, baked cupcakes...I think I'll save those or just bake more for the Biostats final for people.
I eventually managed to make myself study through the material...I am almost done with the new material (had finished cumulative a little while ago). Now I've gotta make myself buckle down to study tomorrow...then wake up ridiculously early for my 7:30am final on Wednesday! Then what? I don't know...something fun, something relaxing, and maybe some baking/cooking. I am looking forward to shopping, seeing Josh! and seeing Above and Beyond.
Hopefully Josh is able to get all his work done before Thursday but I'll understand if he can't because that's a lot of work to get done and he's been working so hard! he deserves a break and a good weekend!
Well, finishing up Bachelorette...it's the rose ceremony! Bentley's evil and I'm glad he's gone.
