 2. While home this weekend my dog pulled down a shirt I left on the washer and peed on it. Soaked it. this is the second time he's peed on something of mine, and the second time he's peed in the house since he's been trained. Damn fool. 3. I'm sick like woah today. Woke up at 4 to vomit and continued to do so for about 4 or 5 hours. Not so awesome. I'm feeling really drained right now, and hungry. I'm nervous about eating because I kept vomiting up the water I was drinking in hopes of not dehydrating myself. I also lost all of my water weight and look totally disgusting. 4. I leave for Vancouver tomorrow! I should start packing now. 5. Say it aint so Christian! Say it aint so! 6. I don't have much else to say. today was spent in my bedroom or in the bathroom...I haven't done much of anything else so I don't have much more to say. <3 B ps did any one else have the "Rhythm of the Pride Lands" tape when they were growing up. that thing was so damn good. |

 2. Saw the Batman movie. It was good. Not like "omg have to see it over and over again" good, but good in the "omg that was good, like, really good" good. Best part? When the dude behind us peed into a cup instead of going to the bathroom. 3. Big ol leak in my office. Looks like most of the left-hand side of my desk got soaked. Awesome. 4. I don't understand my body. I spend the whole weekend sleeping and generally lazing about up in NEPA and yet I come home to NYC and feel like I'm getting a cold. WTF. Just relax okay? geez. 5. It's the last week of classes! It'll be so nice to have the rest of the summer to simply enjoy and not do homework. I'm looking forward to a month off. 6. I leave for Vancouver on Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to it all, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pull off the "carry on only" attempt, since it says this on the website: For all classes, each passenger (except an infant) can bring a free baggage allowance of one cabin bag not exceeding 56x36x23cm (22x14x9 in) in size. These dimensions include wheels, handles and side pockets. AND: For passengers who are NOT departing from or transferring through London Heathrow Airport, in addition to the above allowance, you may carry onboard the following items free:

 2. We are having a BBQ today at work. On the invite it says "Causal Dress Welcome!" Then our president sent out this email about what exactly is meant when they say "casual dress". Then I come in this morning to an email that says this: I am writing to clarify the dress code for tomorrow--the email Georgia sent (see below), describes the expectations only for BBQ attire. Please dress according to WPA's regular dress code in the morning and plan on changing into your fun-in-the-sun attire before the BBQ in the afternoon. Am I the only one who thinks that is the dumbest thing ever? 3. Yesterday on my walk to work a homeless lady spit on the lady who was walking next to me and then screamed "THIS IS NEW YORK CITY BITCH" It was a classic moment. 4. I think I'm going to go home tomorrow. It's really dumb really, because I have a lot of homework to do, and I should do it over the weekend, but for some reason I really really feel like I should go home. I'll do as much homework as I can today and tonight and then try to do some on the bus tomorrow and then while I'm home. Maybe I'll be able to get more homework done when I'm home. Who am I kidding? I'll spend the whole time playing with that dog of mine and then come home to frantic homework doing. OH well, I still think I'm gonna do it. 5. I'm going to see Batman tonight. If you have already seen it, DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING. I'm so excited. <3 <3 <3 Becky |

2. School is done next week. Thank you Jesus. Well, I have two finals, both with are due soon, one is due the week after next and the other is due next week, but I'm going to try to do both for next week, or at least, part of the one and all of the other, just so I can get it done and over with. A month break will be truly enjoyed. Going to class three times a week was tough on me, luckily in the fall I'll only have class twice a week, which will be nice. It will also give me plenty of time to do my homework. 3. Oh man I'm tired. I wasn't tired when I walked into my office, but my office was so cold so I turned a heater on. And put a sweater on, and drank some hot chocolate. And now I'm sleeeppppyyyy. 4. My stress level seems to have lowered a lot. I have finger nails again! 5. I bought a bike! Picture to be added soon.

Professor: [reads case study] So, what diagnosis do you think this guy is given? Me: Paraphilia NOS: Coprophilia! Professor: Really? Me: Um, yes. Someone else: anxiety? Professor: okay...maybe Someone else: depression! Professor: I guess I can see where you're coming from...let's see what they said in the case study book...."He was diagnosed with Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified: Coprophilia." Me: [under my breath] I just said that. 2. My nose is seriously making me wicked grumpy. Just the one nostril is filled with gunk. hard gunk. Current question is: to neti pot or not? Does anyone have any feelings on the matter? 3. I have this one coworker who drives me insane. You tell her one thing and she totally forgets it two minutes later. She also gets really huffy with me when I remind her, or tell her that she did something wrong (I have to tell her she did things wrong a lot...but it's either tell her she did it wrong, or have to correct it every damn time, which is so annoying I want to die). Today she was all "*sigh* Are you going to be here ALL day?" like, wtf, do you want me to leave now? I'll totally go home if that's what you want. because I could use a nap. 4. I have taken to not only carrying a sweater with me everywhere I go, but also a pair of socks. My feet get so damn cold when I go places with air conditioning it was an obvious idea. Soon, due to my hatred of the cold in buildings you will find me carrying hats and gloves as well. And maybe a scarf. <3 |

2. On my ride home I saw a girl throwing up on a pole in the one subway station. This got me to thinking. For the amount of times that I have thrown up in my adult life, whether it be from drinking, sickness, motion sickness or whatever, only twice (that I can recall) have I thrown up in an unacceptable place. Once was in Leuven, the first time I ever threw up from drinking in excess. I blessed the streets of Leuven and eventually the sink in my bedroom (for which I don't know if I ever apologized to Chana. Either way - Sorry bout that Chana, was pretty shitty thing for me to do, but at least it wasn't on the floor, or my bed...or any where in the bedroom where it couldn't be washed down the drain. But still, sorry!) The second time was a combination of motion sickness and being wicked hung over. Lexington Avenue was the recipient of this gift, but mind you, I ran out of the subway station at rush hour in a vain attempt to find a garbage can, and when I couldn't find one, I ducked between two cars in hopes of not offending anyone. When I glanced up I noticed that there was a man standing in the window of one of the buildings shaking his head at me. Whatever dude, I did my best to try to save you from it. Anyway! The point of this whole gross conversation is that I don't understand why people can't seem to make it to garbage cans...or bathrooms, or something that is better suited to take care of the vomit. Hurling on the street, on the subway, on the subway platform, in rooms of people's houses, in beds, on yourself etc isn't exactly okay. Why can't you make it to a garbage can, puking girl on the subway? Why can't you save me, sick and vomitus myself, from having to witness your ineptitude at finding an appropriate vomit receptacle? Really? 3. Hmm, my office smells like smoke. I got the resident monitor to check all the offices around me, but no smoke nor nothing burning. So strange. Also my office is currently experiencing a leak. All over the desk. Awesome. 4. I'm currently trying to decide if I should go home my one free weekend in July to go to my favorite church picnic and snuggle with my dog, or if I should spend the time here in NYC, sleeping in and doin homework. I know the second option is really the better of the two, but I really would love to see my dog again. I worry that he'll forget who I am, or think that I abandoned him. I know that's stupid considering he has a brain the size of a walnut, but I can't help but worry that my puppy will forget that he and I are friends. 5. I am so looking forward to the week of the 21st of July. End.Of.Classes. Until September that is. <3 |

2. Feeling slightly (okay a bit more than slightly) depressed these days. I think it's basically stress from school and work that is causing me to look at all of my interpersonal relationships and deciding they're bad. 3. Speaking of school, I'm worried that I'm not giving it the focus it needs. Basically I don't have time to sit down on weekends to do homework, which leaves me to do it during the week, but after I've worked from 7:30am to 3:30pm, then sat through class from 4:00pm to 6:00pm the last thing I want to do is sit down and do more homework. So my work is seriously suffering. Now I have exams due all over the place, and I don't have time to do them PLUS do the reading! This is why I hate take home exams - normal exams you get a break from the assignments to study and get ready for it, take home exams you're expected to work on it and do the assignments. BLEH. I have two of four questions worked on already for my Tuesday exam, no word on the Monday exam, and I'm hitting up an AA meeting tonight to work on an essay for Monday. And then I have to read like 200 pages for those days. Awesome? 4. It's almost the 4th of July! I think I'd be more excited if the 4th of July meant "sleep in and do homework" but it doesn't, so it's just another day of making my life crazy. 5. I can't wait for summer to be over. 6. My job is getting worse and worse in the $$ department. Rumor has it they just barely were able to pay us...needless to say, I'm lookin for a new job, not that I want a new job, but I want a job that can pay me no problems. I'd also like a job that has paper for me to print my work on. And a job that has toilet paper. That'd be nice. 7. After a bedbug scare at my place, I think things have finally officially settled in - we got the shower fixed, everything seems to be working, and everything looks great. Except last night when the water was coming out brown...but since we never drink the water anyway, it was really nbd, and everything cleared up by this morning anyway. 8. I woke up at 5am this morning for no reason. If I wake up tomorrow, I'm gonna go for a run. I think I need a bit more exercise, maybe it'll help my mood. <3 |

2. Last night Nicole and I went for a walk. It was trash night, we found some gems. An amazing lamp, a night stand for Nicole's room, and the most amazing huge old chest ever. It's from Italy and I think it's from the 1940's. AMAZING. When I get my pos computer back, I'll take pictures because it's beautiful. 3. Then today we picked up two desks (we paid for these ones, we didn't steal them from people's garbage). They're both the same size, one's white, one's brown, and we paid a total of $55 for them. 4. The only problem with the place is that the shower leaks hot water. So we've been trying to keep the shower curtain pulled to the wall so the water wouldn't leak out onto the floor. Yesterday I ran into Mr. Pastore, our super, and had this conversation with him: Me: Mr. Pastore, my shower is leaking hot water. Mr. P: Oh you're shower is leaking? Me: yeah, hot water. Do you think you could look at it? Mr. P: ooohhhh, um...You have an Italian friend? Me: Um, yeah, I have an Italian friend. So, my shower, could you look at it? Mr. P: Nice boy. Me: Um, yeah he's a nice guy. So my shower? Mr. P: Where he from? Your Italian friend? Me: Um, Rimini. Listen, my shower... Mr. P: No no, where in Italy? You know, Roma, Venice, Sicilia.. Me: Yes, Rimini. It's near Bologna. Mr P: ohhhh, um...I come look at your shower now. Then when he gets up there he has these words of advice: Pull the shower curtain to the wall and take the shower caddy off the shower head. Thanks Mr. P. Thank's for FIXING IT. 5. I am so tired. I'm so tired it's not funny. I am not getting used to this schedule not at all. I thought I would, but nope. It's the thrid week I've been doing it and I can't seem to get my ass out of bed at 6am. Then I drag ass all day. So I've been drinking a ton of tea. Now my stomach is freaking out every time I drink tea. I can't win. I just want to sleep in. Every day. 6. Going home this weekend for a wedding (surprise). But I get to see the Lucky Strikes on Friday night at the Judge and Jury, which I'm wicked excited about. It'll be fun to hang out with Col and drool over cute Rockabilly boys. <3 bbbbbb |

Asian guy to girlfriend: That's the best part about being in a relationship. White girlfriend: Sandwiches? Asian guy: Always having an extra pair of hands. 2. Yesterday I came to the realization that I have an essay due on Monday, then another essay due on the Monday after that, then another essay due the Monday after that, and then two essays due the Monday after that. I.Am.Screwed. Oh and I have an exam due on the 8th of July, and then another one due on the 22nd of July. This whole "Summer School" thing was going awesome, until I realized that it's "school" 3. I went to bed last night at 10 and found that I could easily get up for work at the proper time. Damn it. I'm getting old. 4. I'm 100% looking forward to the fall. When I have NOTHING TO DO ON WEEKENDS BUT SLEEP IN. Is that bad? Bad that I've been dreaming about fall weather and NO DAMN WEDDINGS? I'm looking forward to weekends where I get to sit down and DO HOMEWORK, so I'm not STRUGGLING TO DO IT ON A WEEK DAY AFTER CLASS AND BEFORE BEDTIME. I hate this shit, and can't wait for WEEKENDS. I'm done now. 5. I keep thinking I have ticks all over me. Damn you New Jersey. Damn you. <3 <3 <3 Becky |

 Yep, they look just like my old ones. Why did I get new ones that look just like my old ones you ask? Because one of my old plugs found a new home:  I make sure I say a Hail Mary whenever we stop at that station now, because it's like she's always there for me. On the tracks. 2. We're getting internet and tv tomorrow! I no longer have to steal internets! I will soon be able to sit at my kitchen table and do homework! YEAY! 3. I have tomorrow and Thursday off from work because I'm going camping with the kids from the shelter on Saturday. We're going to NJ to the Pine Barrens. I do not want to go. But I do not want to leave my office mate Tony as the only adult going. So I will suck it up and not complain, because I don't want to be the only one complaining. <3 Becky |

 2. today is by far the worst day in my new "get up at 6" experience. I could not get out of bed. I could not get dressed. I could not keep my eyes open. I feel like I may fall asleep right now. 3. So, the WPA has no money. I am getting paid, as is everyone else, but they're not buying ANYTHING. We have NO PAPER in this joint. (I just went out and paid $10 for two packets of paper so we could print out reports on something other than red paper, which I'm not sure where it came from). We have no cleaning supplies. We have no toilet paper. We have no lodging kits for new clients. We have nothing. I just don't understand wtf they're doing. or wtf is the projected out come of not buying us anything we need. 4. The saga of me getting kicked out of my office continued for quite a while yesterday. Today I have decided to just get over myself and not be upset about it. I've also decided to simply keep most of my stuff in boxes for now, just in case I get uprooted again, which is a total possibility. 5. I'm so stressed out, I can't even explain it to you. last night I found myself just sobbing for about 15 minutes because I was so tired I couldn't quite move to take a shower. 6. I think I'm going to go to bed at 9 tonight. Maybe 8. Or maybe whenever I end up at home. This sounds lovely to me. 7. I'm going home this weekend. As excited as I am to see my puppy, this starts the "never have a free weekend summer". Boooo. <3 <3 <3 Becky |

soooooooo....hi. I'm wicked busy and kinda stressed already due to a new schedule of getting up at 6, working from 7:30-3:30, class from 4-6 and starting all over again. And now I find out that I have a new supervisor in my one office. She doesn't like the office that the other supervisor had. She wants my office. With the window. With the window that I love. With the only window I get to look out of during the day light hours. So, I'm getting kicked out of my office into another closet. This makes me so upset. Unreasonably so. I haven't even met the woman and I already dislike her. I have no feelings towards offices, how big they are, what they look like, etc. But I do have a strong feeling towards my window. Its just.not.fair. That's my complaint. <3 Becky |

2. Then Chana and I watched 27 Dresses, and after that Alex and I watched The Host, which was awesome. If you like monster movies, I totally recommend this one. 3. Then I had this for the first time ever:  It was interesting. No real flavor, but I think I might get it more often, I liked it. 4. I also had these for the first time ever today:  5. We went to Chinatown today and it was AMAZING:   I got this wicked awesome piggy bank. I'll show you pictures later. 6. I have to fly home tomorrow, which is sad, I also hate flying so I'm really not looking forward to it. But at least I'll be coming back out here in about a month, so it's not that sad. <3 <3 <3 |

2. On Monday we went down town and hung around. I had coffee and we went to a vintage store. Then we went to the movies and saw Indiana Jones. Which I have to say is good, it wasn't perfect, it was just like the old ones, some parts were stupid, some parts were funny, some parts were good, but all in all it was just fun. 3. On Tuesday we went to the Museum of Anthropology. I saw totem poles!  4. On Wednesday we went to work at the coffee shop then we went to lunch and then we went home. It was nice out, but we were cold and sick-ish. But it was a good day. We went out for sushi that night....and during the day...I saw JTT!!!!!!!!  Only he was scruffy and had that coke bloat face thing. It was awful. He looked awful. It was sad. 5. Today we went to the aquarium:   6. Tomorrow we're going to shopping some more so I can pick up silly things for everyone. 7. Today is Chana's birthday! We had a supper yummy cake from this place 8. Basically what we've been doing a lot is this: <3 <3 <3 Becky |

boooooooo Vancouver! why can't you learn from NYC? With the Highest temp this week of 85 and the lowest at 75! 3. I worked on my most current art project, my kitchen table, yesterday:  I think they came out pretty cool. 4. Yesterday I had the most interesting experience ever. Davide's band played on the J train from Manhattan to Brooklyn. It was quite something. The band was awesome, the train was...interesting. The poor unsuspecting people stuck on the train with us was highly amusing. 5. Okay I should leave this cafe and go pack for my HOLIDAY. <3 <3 <3 |

2. I leave for Canada on Sunday! Excitement! 3. Death apartment lady called today to tell us that she had some furniture she wanted to donate. No joke. We all ignored her. 4. It's the weekend. And the official start of my vacation. I'm going to....sit in my apartment and do homework. wooo. 5. While walking through the park today, I got distracted by the sound of a bird chirping really oddly. When I turned my face back around, there was a dirty, smelly toothless homeless man standing in front of me with his hand out like he wanted me to shake it. I sidestepped him because I was not shaking that hand. So he reached out and grabbed my wrist. When I tried to pull away, he tried to pull me closer. So I twisted my arm, broke free, and booked it away from him. WTF NYC WTF. 6. To continue on my WTF NYC? thoughts, yesterday I got heckled at least 5 or 6 times. A man on his bike rang his bell and yelled "wooo" at me. A man handing out postcards for a tattoo place said to a friend when I walked by "now that's what I call a physique" there were multiple other "WOOOO" noises made at me. I ran home and said to Nicole "Can you see my underwear through these pants or something?!" (the answer was no btw) 7. Also: I'm so broke it's not even funny anymore. I hate money. <3 <3 <3 becky |

In April I called the NS and said, "I'm signing up for a summer course, can I use that left over stafford loan money I had from the spring to pay for this class?" The lady said "Of course!!" And I said "Sweet, I'd like to do that." Then just today I woke up and thought "hmm, I better make sure that's happening!" So I go online to check. Nope. Shows I owe them $4405. So I call this morning as soon as I get into work. The lady says "You have to fill out this paper work." I said, "Oh my, I feel stupid, I didn't know I had to do this." She goes "Wait, how many credits are you taking?" I said "Oh only 3, I'm only taking one class." She goes "oh, then we'll deny you if you apply for your stafford loan. You have to take 6 credits." I said "Whaa? But I was told I could use the money! What am I to do now?" Lady goes "Get a personal loan." Awesome. So I call VSAC thinking maybe they have personal loans I can take. Nope. Gotta get stafford loans only, no help there. So I call my bank to see about getting a $5000 loan. At a beautiful 24% interest rate I can easily obtain that loan! NO THANKS ASSHOLES. So I try to call my advisor at the New School to sign up for another class and thusly be elligible for my Stafford loan. No answer. Not that I want to take another class anyway. I'm going to have to start work at 7:30am every day if I take another class. That's when I leave the house now. :( So I guess my last step is for my mom to take out a loan for me and have me pay it back. I really really really really really don't want to have to take out a personal loan. I really don't want to have to pay back this loan every month. I really don't want to have to worry about money every damn day. But it looks like that's what it's coming to. That's my story. I hate the new school. If I could, I would transfer right now. I'm so sick of their shit. I'm sick of people not knowing what they're talking about, I'm sick of finding out at the very last moment that I'm screwed. I'm so sick of it , it's not even funny. |
