There has been a request that I update my LJ. I have not gotten that sort of request since, uh, probably high school. So I'm going to do it.
Work is splendid. Impressing some important people, so I'm getting some more responsibilities. A lot of copywriting! It's exciting and neat and I actually get to use my brain. As for the people, it's getting a lot more comfortable. There isn't anyone I don't like, and there are plenty of people I like a lot. It's no FAU... but it's good. Except the pay. I'm going to be asking about it later this week; I was told at the interview there would be opportunities to make extra $$ by copywriting, and now that I'm copywriting A LOT, I'd like to be paid like not an intern.
Wedding planning is good. Putting a deposit down on our location this weekend! Quite excited about it. Put some pictures up on Flickr that we are going to use on our website. Got the Save-The-Dates!! They are adorable, and I love them. Won't be sending them out for a short while, waiting to get the website in better shape first. Probably also putting down deposit on caterer very soon. To-do list is long but not exactly super time sensitive at this point.
Losing weight is nice. Feel generally better. Enjoy the gym, except when it's packed.
Been seeing Robert significantly more recently. He started coming to trivia... and I hope he comes tonight :(
Empty nest in about 3 weeks! I'm so freakin excited about it. As always, Phil and I are doing wonderfully and getting along perfectly. We are both very excited about having an extra room.
We might also be having a yard sale on the 4th of July weekend. At my moms house, because she has the best location for that kind of thing.
My gay boyfriend is in WPB for the summer. This excites me more than it probably should. I miss him a lot and I'm really excited that he is going to be a lot closer for a while!
Annnnd... I dunno. I'm spent. These posts get long and ramblyboring. I need to write for my OTHER blog more often. But I don't. MEH! Kbye.
OH ONE MORE THING. For our wedding, we wanted to have this amazing pianist we know come down from Canada... to play for maybe the ceremony, but mostly during dinner so there's some sort of music but people don't feel like they aren't sure if they should get up and dance, etc. Anyway. After a little research, we think we might be able to make it happen :D Listen to his music on ReverbNation!! http://www.reverbnation.com/monstunes

This morning, I woke up early to go to work early for the weekly meeting.
It was postponed, so I was there at 8 for no reason.
I forgot my lunch.
I worked on a project that kind of stressed me out.
And then another one.
And then I went back to a project I was doing last week, which I am vastly unqualified for, not to mention that it won't actually accomplish what they are trying to accomplish anyway.
I threw up before leaving work, probably because I didn't eat like I normally do. Or something.
My fiance is having who knows what kind of revelation. It scares me.
My bra broke.
My check engine light is on.
I'll be in bed til tomorrow morning. Today holds nothing good for me.

I gotta update on life, cuz it's been a while, and I consistently forget to write in this thing. I'm gonna start with last week.
Thursday: Phil and I left right after he got home from work and drove down to Boca. We stopped in downtown Delray and ate at a Brazilian steakhouse called GOL! If you've never been to a churrascaria... they're pretty much awesome. There's a huge salad bar that you go to first. Then you have a coaster thing that you turn to green and suddenly gauchos with huge hunks of meat come and try to give them to you. It's awesome. It's usually pretty expensive, but so awesome, if you ever get a chance or have a special occasion and like meat you should consider going to one, they're all over big cities. Anyway. Then we went to the hotel and went to sleep and it was good.
Friday: Woke up very early. Got ready slowly, but not as slowly as Phil did. Ended up a little scrambly during breakfast (where we ate the worst fucking eggs ever)... but we got there on time. Met up with Ashley and Carrie and Shawna. Graduated. I got called out and had to stand up and get applauded all to myself. COOL. Went home. Had lunch at Panera with Megan and Julie and Rochelle... so awesome. So funny. Thennn went home and hung out for a while. Then had dinner with mom and Phil's parents. It was really nice. Really really nice.
Saturday: I don't remember. I know there was a party in the evening. Jame came and so did Robert and it was very nice to have some of my favorite people.
OK, I'll admit, I have no real recollection of the rest of my days. I joined the gym on Tuesday and worked out and hurt my arms. Then I had a session with a personal trainer yesterday and I can pretty much barely walk now. Wednesday I went to the beach with my bro. Tuesday was trivia night.
This morning I had my big interview with a real ad agency. I went in, we talked for a while... and basically, she said "You can call me back on Monday, or you can come in to work on Monday." That's a long story very short. It's not very well paying... but it's in my field, it's a great opportunity to learn, it's a good company. And it was my first interview since graduating. I feel very very lucky.
So yeah... I start on Monday! Tomorrow I'm hopefully taking Jefvontie' to the zoo. Annd that's my life.

Can't believe it's really almost over.
Got my final paper for a class back today. 25/25. 4 papers for the class, all kicked my ass but made me feel good about doing quality work, all 4 of them 100%. That makes me feel very nice.
So one out of five classes done already. Got a group project and an exam on Thursday, two online exams at some point over the weekend, and one exam on Tuesday. And then I'm done. Graduation is next Friday.
I've got an interview with an advertising firm in Stuart. Cross yo fingas, cuz I needs a jorb, and getting a job at a successful agency would be very good for me.
Work kind of sucks right now. I'm trying to get things ready for Megan, documents and whatnot, but I'm frustrated because all of the moving stuff is going on. Aaaand I feel like I'm working my ass off for something I'm never going to reap the benefits of. I'm just tired of certain people not giving a shit, I guess. I'm only there for a week. Gotta enjoy it while I can, I spose.
This weekend, amidst all of my shitty homework, Robert came to visit. Phil and I consumed way more carbohydrates than we ever should ever again. But I think I might have burned off at least some of them by laughing my ass of at Robert's awesome attempts to play fake music.
Speaking of the "diet"... it's good. Eating good is good. I need to go shopping tomorrow, which I think I'll do instead of going to work. I'm tired of work.
I'm tired.
*fin*

Ben Folds last night was fucking awesome.
Today, I have not gotten anything done that I wanted to do. I blame Phil.
If you ever go to the new "cafe" called Berry something or other where Camilles used to be... well, just don't expect any sort of healthy cafe food. It was alright, but not at all what we were expecting or hoping for.
I graduate in less than a month. I've got two individual mini-projects that will contribute to a big group project, one paper, two quizzes, and four exams left.
Currently working on one of the mini-projects and it's driving me nuts. It's times like this I wish I had a Mac desktop as well as a laptop.
Tomorrow... I'll probably just work on my project all day. Might go over to Tradition and look at their wedding place stuff. Sunday is our anniversary. THREE YEARS, whoa. We are going to Melting Pot. I've wanted to go back for a while and we have a coupon for a free chocolate fondue. Very much looking forward to it.
Byebye!

Last night was fantastic.
Today was alright.
Tonight Phil tried to kill me.
Starting a... weird diet. I eat nuts.
I have a huge test tomorrow I haven't really studied at all for.
Most of my classes I am doing very well in. Some others I am only doing kinda well in.
I think I will pass everything though.
I graduate May 1st at 9am. I need to book a hotel. H'mmm.
WTF should I do to celebrate graduating? I don't party anymore. Meh. MEH!
I should sleep. Don't wanna. :(
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be for me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend.

I am at Panera. Trying to convince myself to get this paper done before I leave.
This week has been... insane. Some ridiculous drama at work. A paper, an exam, and a very large homework assignment due by Saturday. I finished the exam last night, I'm at least halfway through the paper, and someone sent me some of the answers for the assignment. I'm feeling like I might actually be more successful than I originally planned.
Tonight I am going out with my Little. Probably just to dinner or something like it. I feel awful that I've been so slammed the past two weeks, I'm hoping next weekend I'll actually be able to spend a Saturday with her.
I am a little sad that Aaron is gone, but I'm very supporting of moving on. I hope he don't forget about me.
Time is going by so fast. When I sit in the moment it doesn't, but when I really look at the facts... it is MARCH 20TH. I graduate in a little over a month. We'll be living alone in THREE MONTHS. I gotta get a JOB. And save MONEY. Because I get MARRIED in less than a YEAR (hopefully).
Whatever. This is just me updating on the current state of stuff. Nothing interesting to see. Move on.
