Reasons Why I Suck (aka Ammunition for the Exes)

I was going to start out with this whole self-loathing thing, going on and on about how I absolutely despise how slack I am with keeping this blog updated. Then I realized that my last posts have been pretty much on the same topic. I suck, I know. Let’s move on to the reasons why I’ve been such a horrible terrible insert-demeaning-adjective-here person.

1. I am back in NYC! I’ve been back for about two weeks and my life has been pretty much action-packed. This year I’m an RA (resident assistant for all those not in the know). I had a week of training and then my freshmen arrived! I have an all girls floor, which I’m kind of excited about, and the girls are fantastic. However, I don’t think it’s fair for me to post a lot about being an RA because the issues I have to deal with are private and I don’t feel comfortable divulging such information. Another reason I’ve been such a slackerrr (triple R means business, yo) is because I have been busy actually living. In order for me to write about stuff, I have to experience it, right? And so I’ve been doing this psycho thing called living
2. I have a fabulous new sleep mask. Check this shit out.

   
   Ignore the retarded look on my face. I just finished my second floor meeting of the year.

   They’re based on the ones worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
   

   
   You cannot look at these and not want need them in your life.

   I bought it here for $14. I also bought these fabulous “texting gloves” that will probably be the reason I don’t die of hypothermia this year. I spent a ridiculous amount of time last year pulling my gloves off and on to answer texts. No more, folks. No more.

3. My mother is convinced I will fall in love this year. And not unrequited love a la my crush on Chace Crawford. She means legitimate head-over-heels nonsense. I’m not convinced. Mostly because that requires boys who like girls and those are scarce around my parts.
4. I interviewed for an internship with a major designer. My chances of getting it are slim to none due to availability but it was still a crazy experience made even more insane because I met the designer in person. The designer was extraordinarily nice and asked how I was doing and everything so working for them would be phenomenal.
5. I joined a new gym. It’s very nice, relatively close by, and is my attempt to keep off the dreaded Freshman Fifteen. I managed to avoid them last year (I think I even lost some weight but who knows) so I’m worried that they might creep up on me this year. I also had my ass kicked by two of the trainers at my new gym. It offers free personal training sometimes and the workouts are intense. I couldn’t walk after both of them. Of course my exhaustion after the second was probably also influenced by the fact that…
6. I have been hanging out with new and old friends. Being an RA has introduced me to some of the most wonderful people ever. I’ve spent every single day out with people. I think I spent a grand total of 8 hours in my room this week, not counting sleep. And 4 of those 8 were spent with people hanging out in my room. It’s been such fun.
7. Classes start tomorrow. Not going to lie, I’m not very excited about going back to school. But I’d rather study than have a crappy job so c’est la vie.
8. I’ve been decorating my room. I have an entire room ALL TO MYSELF. It’s AMAZING. I have a huge closet that is already jam-packed with clothing. I’ve got huge wall space. I’ve got so much to do!

So I think 8 reasons for why I suck is enough, don’t ya’ll? Hopefully I’ll get back in to the swing of things this semester. I’ll definitely be working on it but no promises.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, I might have a bit of surprise for ya’ll. It’s still up in the air but I may or may not have a fabulous little thing planned. But we shall see.
