So its been a long time, I know. I'm lazy, exhausted and yea. It's certainly been a week. Campis goign good, now that I can manage to stay awake for a full 16 hour day, and despite the random joint pain and aching ankles that I seem to be cursed with, all is well. This weekend was awesome, Troy's birthday on friday, when 35 of us crowded into Applebee's and into Spiderman II, then off to the playground where I basically sat in Nick's car, and then another trip to Sweet Hollow rd, which I slept through. By the way:HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY!...And then July 4th was awesome! Chharles through a BBQ, with a little help from Carly et moi, and so we all hosted on Charles porch for Moshe Mike Lauren Troy and Phil. Which was nice, and small, and filled with movies and memories. We all ( and by "all" I mean like 50 kids, ended up at Peck Park, where Nick Rob and Rich begin a firework show. By the end of the night, everyone was setting them off; even me, who is afraid of fire lit a few. ,And except for the idoits (yes, you) who shot a rocket WAAAY to close to Carly and I, it was amazing fun. Sorry I had to cut it short, but work = obligation. Anyway I had a good time with Carly Charles Moshe Deniz Troy Leslie Marty Steven Nick Rob Rich Greg Marisa Vadeem Andrew Shiffman Phil and Mike, just to name a few. Then tonight I had a date, it was cute and we giggled and ate ice cream on the beach and made out in the car like it was just begining. And we kissed goodnight and my doorstep and smiled all the way home. This week entails dessert with Marisa, maybe Roula, Vadeem and Steven, followed by an evening with Jess, than rafting with Charles. Oh, the craziness.

Jump, shake your booty..

Havn't updated in sooo long. Lately, aside from dfew notable exceptions, evertthing seems to have fallen into place. Camp is ok, has its ups and downs. the 8-yr old girls i'm working with are so adorable, and the couselors in my group camp exh are really great. Except that camp exhausts me. Like, comepletely. I don't even have energy to talk on the phone afterwars. Carly an dI just come home, nap, eat, and lay around wiating for our muscles to get less sore. But at least I'm out and active. Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mommy!!Other news - waterpark on monday was a lot of fun, despite the constant argueing and getting beaten up by the rides. Friday is Troy's birthday, celebrating with him by going to see spiderman2 and whatnot. Don't know about the weekend. Jon - I hate plaing phone tag with you!! I will try my hardest to call and talk for a while sometime this weekend. Dave - I'm no back-up!! I'm very insulted!! and now I don't want to call you. much love to all.

Worries..

I am in this midsummer funk, where all I do is worry and get angry and bitchy. Sorry if I snap at you. The job I took fo rthe summer seems less and less ideal, and instead of being excited I'm getting a sinking feeling i my stomach thinking about it. I also doubt that I am goign to make as much $ this summer as expected, which means more bills, and definately a second job at Tulane. Which birngs me to teh next big set of worries. Now that I've decided on an English and Communications major, a bit too late, I am not taking any classes in those feilds, at all this semester. Which means I'm pretty royally fucked. In terms of study abroad, and choices of classes and other stupid bullshit I'm not equipped to think about. I don't have housing, and if I do, it will be in a dorm i do not wish to live in, which means I'm either stuck there, or have to move half-way through the semester. Either way suckage, major suckage ensues. Finally, I spent freshman year doing NO activites. Which mean I have to beef up my extracurricular resume like.. NOW. Grr. And double Grr. Finally, to add to all this, I don;t even know for sure I am going there, seeing as I have not yet received my financial aid status. And my entire family has been lectureing me and giving me bs becuase Carly is going there now too, which means EVERYONE has been saying how stupid I am to do this and so on...The only positive thing I have to say now is that I have a great family, great relationship and great friends. I know that even through all this bs stress, I can count on everyone's support and distractions..

My uncle's friend Eddie, whom I haven't seen since I was a little girl, passed away at the young age of 51. While I didn't really know him well, I have several poingient memories of him, an dthey will always stay with me. He was an excellent friend and led a truly wonderful life, and I will never forget him.

Yes, I said boating accident.

The events of late have been quite amusing. Sunday, Charles and I decided to go to a sporting goods store. $159 dollars later, we had in our possesion one (1) inflatable raft, with oars, and one (1) bbq charchoal grill. Brilliant people we are, we decided to take the boat of a test run. In Little Neck Bay, famous for the clams. So we go. And spend an hour inflating the thing, notbeing able to find all the holes.. and finding a sport to launch. The second we get into the water (read mud) we hear a small pop and see massive bubbles floating to the surface. The boat is taking on water!! And we're flipping out and pushing each other into the mud, scrambling to shore... To make a long store short, we ended up gross and muddy, with a defective raft. Unfotunalty, My cell phone was among the passengers of theat fateful inagural run of the CMS Raft, and thus forth I cannot make phone calls until I canget the stupid machine to work. For those of you that have her #, reach me on Carly's cell.

Liz - I finally watched Hedwig and Angry Itch. I liked :)

Yesterday, on the first day of Restaurant Week (which means 20 bucks for a pirx fixe lunch at NYC's best retaurants), so Carly Lauren Daniel and I head int othe city for Lunch at the Tribeca Grill (owned by RObert DeNiro and some other randoms), which was quite good. We walked tro th Hudson and then played ping pong at a park, before we decided to head home. Carly Lauren and I sat in Carly's house where we ate a makeshift dinner, and then at Lauren's house, where we looked through all her old stuff (read childhood memories, and high school memories). Afterwards, we met up with Moshe, Troy, Marty, Leslie, Deniz, Phil and Tanya and played in a playground.

Adios.

I had a amazing time celebrating a year. We went to Tavern on the Green and the took a horse carriage ride through the park friday night. It was wonderful, romantic and happy, like a dream. Love. Saturday was orientation at camp , and it was short and boring. But I'm getting excited to be a counselor and help shape the lives of kids. Plus, having fun things to do every day would be nice. After orientation, Carly and I were going to go picnic, but instead ended up doing absolutely nothing. We met up with Charles afterwards and we drove out to meet Laila and spend some time in her town, way out in Bellport. On the way home, Charles Carly and I had a wonderful discussion on philosophy, religion and humanity. I discovered a lot about my own beliefs, and will discuss that perhaps at a later date. This week is the last one before work, trying to fit in a lot of stuff. Miss you, love you Tulane-ians.

if i scream real loud, will you hear me all the way down south?

I had a really awesome day hanging out with everyone - Carly Moshe Tanya Shiffman Marty Leslie Deniz Phil Troy Steve and even Charles and Laila for a little while. I forgot how much fun i have with that crew, and it's been a loong time since I've seen them. Hopefully now that tests are over and school is done, it can occur more frequently. This week has really been nothing eventful. Monday went to Roosevelt Field with Carly and Charles, and then Tuesday hung out with Carly in the am and then met relatives for dinner. I was really excited to go to Splish Splash (a waterpark) tomorrow, but I imagine tht's been postposed, and trying to make alternate plans has been the most exasperating, stressful thing I've done this summer. Everything else is good. I finally got an email from the only person with whom I actually have an established correspondance. I have awesome friends and am getting along well with mom. My car is pretty, and my Carly is smart and special and congradulations. This friday is a year, next friday is graduation!Only two more weeks for freedon until camp starts, ew, but hopefully I'll enjoy it? Much love, cookies and homemade whipped cream for all.
