May 27, 1997 -- *NOTE* Full Props to PatternLand for my awesome new background.


Sorry that it's been so long...I've been busy.
Actually I started out bummed. I didn't really do that well on my chem final. I got a fairly average grade. My chem teacher was nice enough to read me the LAB grade (Which I already knew was an -A!) thereby causing me to think I had done a whole lot better than I had ever expected to do. I really got the B I was expecting...which was FAR more dissapointing than it would have been had I not believed I got an -A. But that's life. Of course, I cried at the time, and whined and complained; but I got over it pretty fast. Then I got busy.

So I went up to Binghamton and helped Brian pack up all his belongings into his Jeep and my mother's Walnut (I think her car is too small). Then we drove home, ignoring speed limits the whole way. Since I've been home with Brian here, life's been cool. The weather is nice, I've got stuff to do, and I've managed to avoid most of the things that get on my nerves at home.

My room is SO clean it scares me. You see, my parents went to Florida to visit my grandparents for a week. So I cleaned my room to make a videotape of it for my grandma who's never seen it the way it is now. They've also never seen me with short hair. My parents say their reaction was "That's Kathy?"...I didn't think I looked THAT different!

I feel like I haven't written in years...but it's only two weeks. I've done so much cool stuff too...like that Toad The Wet Sprocket concert at the Supper Club. It was a listener appreciation concert and that means....FREE!!! It was small, loud, and the opening act was so good I got their album right there! Marcy's Playground...the best mix of Toad, They Might be Giants, and some other slightly heavier band that I can't think of right now. Brian got an acoustic guitar today, and blah, blah, blah....too much to tell so I won't bother. I'll get straight to the biggest news....

BINGHAMTON ACCEPTED ME!!!! Finally, they got back to me...don't get me wrong, I liked Hofstra, but I didn't fit in. They give AA as a three credit course...I can't deal with that. Plus, I've been wanting to go away. ;) Now I can, and to the school I intended to go to in the first place! I had a 1380 on my SATs, a 96 average, and bunch of extracurriculars (mainly music), and I applied as a Biochemisty major...how DID I get wait-listed? No biggie, they got back to me in plenty of time, this time...NO MORE HOFSTRA!!!!!! I'll miss my friends but oh, guess what? I LIVE here...I can come HOME and VISIT them! Life rocks!!!

The only part that makes me a little sad is I'll have to quit my job. I love my job. The people I work with are really cool, the customers are less annoying than other customers I have had the "pleasure" of interacting with, and I don't have to work until the wee hours of the morning. I'll miss it.

Okay, enough of this random, jumpy entry. I'll be sure to do some REAL update thing in the next month. When I get some time and some inspiration. ;)
