So here we are, one week later. June's almost over! I think that's quite fabulous.
I caught up with some old friends from junior high last night... that was pretty cool, especially since they're the same and not the same at the same time. (Lol make sense?) Though I think in a way it makes me realize just how much I have changed and sort of "outgrown" these people... and how I'm so different than they are.
Speaking of - is it me or does it seem as if the number of virgins in our age group is down to like 3? I don't understand how people can just go around sleeping with random guys and still feel okay about themselves in the morning. One of my friends was going on and on about these older men at her internship who hit on her constantly and want to take her to these strip joints and I just don't understand how she thinks it's flattering. I would find it horrifying to the point where I wouldn't go back there... hell, I'd sue their shitty selves for harassment! I'm just unsure of how sexual promiscuity and self-confidence can actually coexist in someone. Personally, I don't think it can, but that might just be my interpretation of a hypothetical situation in which I have no experience. Hmm.
It was nice to go out last night and party the way I do at school... especially since I know that that girl's party was last night and since I was uninvited and my boyfriend skirts the issue as if it were made by some sort of toxin (I suppose it kind of is), I felt really lousy. I just wish he'd stand up for me sometimes. I mean, I don't know, I guess I just figure that if she really wanted to be nice to me, she could have invited me out of courtesy - she should realize that I'm not going to fly across the country to go to her party, but that a gesture like that would have probably obliterated the past feelings of hurt that I have from her. Sigh. I guess that would have been too good to be true. I think what makes it worse is that John knew more about the details and such and just would pretend not to know anything when he was talking to me. First it was that no other ND kids were invited (even I can tell that is a lie, even without an invitation), and then he didn't know who was going... I don't know, maybe he was that clueless, but it just makes me feel so much worse. You'd think that he wouldn't try to make up excuses for someone who has consistently hurt my feelings for the past three years... I don't know what to think sometimes. :-/ I have people telling me that they would never do that to their significant other; that they would stop talking to those rude people if they thought their person was worth it. I could never ask him to leave his group and make new friends, and I know he's tried to say something to them about the way they treat me, but none of it has done any good. Bah. Some people.
Which reminds me of how awesome my friends are. I love y'all... you show me that I'm worth something to you, and that in some way or another I've made a positive difference in your life. You care about me without caring how much money my family has in the bank, or what you can get out of our friendship... I'm important to you, and you are incredibly important to me. I would do anything for each and every one of you. Always remember that.

'cause I give you my life and all I am...

Lol I don't know why I'm updating. I have nothing of interest to say. I start work tomorrow, which is a blessing, considering this summer has already felt like a million years. Hopefully I'll have a great group of girls to work with this year. We'll see :)
I need more suggestions on books I should read this summer. Right now I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez (in English because I couldn't find the Spanish version at the library and I'm lazy), and I finished reading the sequel to Angela's Ashes, which was reallllly good. I love reading for fun. Even more so now that the LSAT is done with (thank GOD!)
I think I'm going to go ahead and dye my hair a lighter shade of brown... it's funny to think that some people who have natural light brown hair dye their hair to be dark and mysterious, while I have that shade of brown and want to get rid of it... why is no one happy with what they have? Seriously... I'm just one of the sheep lol.

Mary and I saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants last night... such a good movie :)
Today was spent reading fiction, swimming with my baby cousin, and pretending as if the LSAT is not happening any time soon. Supposedly the people who do the best on the LSAT are those who study less and less as the test approaches, so hopefully I'm doing the right thing by putting all of my study aids in a place where I can't get to them. I know I can do really well... let's just hope that tomorrow's test is comparable to the one's I've taken and done well on. Though I guess one could argue that I'm doing well on all of my tests, but that's super subjective so whatever.
I need to get started on my lesson plan for my job. Arg. I've definitely neglected that because of the LSAT prep I've done. Oh well. That's what Tuesday's for ;)
I'm also hoping that maybe tonight I can find a deal to NYC for Tuesday... you know, Hotwire etc. sell cheap tickets, especially if you get them super close to the departure date. We'll see.
Please pray for me! I'm really hoping to do super well and hopefully get into my favorite schools (U Texas, Stanford, etc.) Later all!
