my summer home is officially over in.. about six days now? and i couldn't be more excited to head back. to be completely honest, i'm sick of this place. i expected too much before i came home and did too little to satisfy any of those expectations. throw a kick back? nope. beach day? not really. lunches galore with friends? eh, maybe two or three. disneyland? once. so much for those my 3 days left at the park. granted, i know i was incredibly busy with my work schedule. who knew i'd be stuck working full time, hours smack dab in the middle of the day and evening.
i'm about to step out to go see hairspray and have dinner with laura.. but i figured i needed to type a little bit.. just because. i got a call from pete, the head of construction up in rochester this morning with a tad bit of bad news. the chandeliers we wanted for the foyer and dining room are no longer available at lowes. at any lowes in the US. greeeeat. my dad and i spent the morning online looking up chandeliers, and eventually headed to lowes to find some replacements. did you know that shopping for lights isn't.. exciting? i did this before with my dad when he came to visit roch-cha-cha.. we must have spent four hours in the light section looking for different pieces to fill the entire house. four hours. in lowes. now interior design is nice and all.. but really now.
i feel like i work too much. 1pm-9:30pm, five days a week. hello full time. thank goodness ritz isn't terrible. unfortunately it's not all that great either. i really enjoy doing the film processing.. the printing and editing, that's what makes my day. but then again, there's the customers and pushing sales and all of that other crap which i can't really stand. or well, when it gets incredibly busy 20 minutes before closing, catching eric and i off guard. but a job's a job, and i guess it beats fast food or something.
i'm going to disneyland tomorrow [today?]. really, that's the only thing on my mind. for the past.. month? month, i guess. i've been talking quite a bit to one of jenelle's friends from sjsu, nick. i guess we really hit it off, and now we're spending quite a bit of text messages and phone calls on each other. [deja vu?] soo this means i'll be at disneyland with jenelle and this nick character. it's exciting. and nervewracking. but to be completely honest, it just feels like i've already done all of this before. i guess the only thing left to do is not to expect anything and keep my chin up. it'll all be alright.. right?
mm. my summer is drifting away, i can just feel it. work ended up completely consuming me and now it's left me with literally no time to see too many people. i hate to admit it, but i almost feel as if coming home was a waste, aside from a few days and a couple of upcoming paychecks. at the moment, it feels like andrew and malcolm won't be able to come out to see me, especially if my work schedule keeps up like this. i need to find out when i have to quit. all i know is that on august 21st, i believe, i will be back in rochester for who knows how long. that leaves me with approximately.. what, 1 month 6 days? well fuck, i need to get out of ritz soon, don't i.
