thursday - FIREWORKS - i had some worcester pride when i saw how great the fireworks display was. Super Chinese Buffet, however, left me much less impressed. Aaron & Scott's first party on Shirley was good times, even though we didn't stay long. meredith came down for SCB, megan and berkley showed up for fireworks, danielle and fletcher and meliss all showed up in time for the party. random crowd. leit's, the blarn ... packed and good times. we came back here, me thinking the house was empty. aaron had my keys and was a few minutes behind so it was a marvelous opportunity to break into my own house with ease, involving yard chairs, a window screen that slid up easily and a nice futon to fall on. remind me to keep that one locked up at night. in the end, mariss and vin were here asleep, so the party was confined to my bedroom and the kitchen and meliss and danielle hunted for some place open with food. it was lots of randomness i could talk about forever. but it was a good time.

friday was work, and everything i heard about the place being busy on the 4th did not hold true. i could see how it might have in past years, with the fourth being a weeknight .... sadly, i've never made as little money on a closing shift as i did that night. craziness was happening on surrounding streets involving parties and fireworks i was sure would set fire to trees in a neighbor's backyard. hit up the (empty) blarn with adrienne. finished reading harry potter (so good). i refused to be disappointed in the 4th considering the fun i had thursday, and the fun to be had saturday.

saturday got up real early and went to ct. bought fireworks with kate, swam all day with lots of people, drank busch light while floating around in a pink tube. jumped off the diving board during the rain shower. awesome day. so fun. my skin's all brown and i slept so so so well.

sunday back to work but made money, visited dougs, went to the lb. did laundry and went out for lunch monday. watched the pianist which i thought was great, but did not love. maybe because i didn't watch it straight through ... i don' t know. slept there again. slept well, but had crazy dreams. crazy dreams. woke up, came to work, made money (yeay).

had my first "comm theory and research" class tonight. seems like it will be good, although highly repetitive of key parts of several of my undergrad classes. visited katie in the dorm tonight, watched phone booth, definitely liked it. drank sangria from a clarkfund water bottle thingy, made popcorn. went to the blarn. nothin big, but it's been only good times. :)

reading the end of the affair

goodnight

there's clean laundry all over my bed. i'm joyous from my past few days.
