Moving In and Loving Life

Hey bloggers and readers,

It has been a while since my last update, but I have been rather busy. I feel like I am experiencing the start of my new and amazing chapter in my life.
• On Friday, I moved into my new apartment with my boyfriend, Cory, at school, my mom, dad, and brother all came to help and slept over till Saturday. We all met up with Cory's family in their cute little town for lunch, then my parents went on their way back home. Later the night, I went to my first ever Steeler's game! It was preseason, and a terrible thunderstorm delayed it by over an hour, at that time we drove back to the apt to watch a movie.
• Sunday was great! We went grocery shopping and enjoyed each other's company. I established that at least once a week we make dinner together. This week was margharita pizza!

• On Monday, Cory had to go to work. He works for UPMC and after he volumteers/works at a lab; he's pre-med. I also did his laundry at the local laundromat...that was the worst ever. I am really going to do what he does and go home to his mom's on the weekend and do it there because I guarantee her dryer works a million times better! I also went to get my Pitt ID. yayyy!

• Today, Tuesday, I realized how much I love my life right now. I feel a little like a housewife, but Cory doesn't expect any of that from me. I just am a cleaning freak at times, so when I go off on cleaning the kitchen and organizing, that's all me. I wrote up a list of things for Cory to do, too haha. So Cory is at work and I am here writing this blog. I am completely content and overall as happy as a clam. School starts in two weeks! I'm going to try and go apply at AE today, hoping it will raise my prospect of applying for their summer internship for next year.

Please do not hesitate to comment. I miss you guys, I promise I will try and write more thought-provoking posts soon. I am just too happy to not write about what has been going on lately. I am actually not much of a self-talker. <3

So much to do in so little time!

So it's the middle of July, the middle of summer, but for me, it's coming to a rapid end- in 3-4 weeks I'm moving into my new apartment that my parents so graciously rented for me for the year to live with my boyfriend. I transferred from a tiny college in the suburbs of Philly to Pitt. I've always wanted to attend a big school, so finally I'm getting my opportunity and even better, I'm attending Pitt's College of Business and living with my boyfriend who also attends Pitt. Additionally, I'm taking an online summer course at my community college, that's finishing up on August 2, but that date can't come any quicker -_-
I've only gotten to packing kitchen necessities and buying themed bathroom set because my boyfriend has a thing for themed bathrooms. Hey, as long as I can have a say in the bedroom and living room. We went to New York City not long ago for our annual summer vaca visit and we bought a bunch of beautiful pictures of scenes from NYC. I can't wait to hang them up!
After moving in, I've gotta look forward to potentially finding a little local job to satisfy my need to always being productive outside of academics. My real job searching comes in spring semester when I look for summer internships! Eek! Thereafter, I've got classes! I'm super nervous, it's like the first day of high school! (my school district had two jr highs and my high school had twice the amount of students compared to my first college) -new people -new professors -bigger classes -bigger reputations -and an even bigger campus! At least I'll be closest with the rest of the business students since moat of my requirements are fulfilled I can take and concentrate on my major and see the other kids in my major most often. I'm also nervous about making friends :( I lost some to colleges far away after high school, then to me moving across the state, and I keep in touch with the best of friends, but I still need a local few at school. I'm almost 20, and I feel like a 12 year old moving up to middle school.
I still have a bunch of personal goals to fulfill before I leave home again for school. Go to the gym enough to lose the extra weight from freshman year, organize my basement, read a few more books, and such. Ahhh, summertime.
How's your summer turning out?
