January 26 - So Noah pointed out that it's not Fall '05 anymore. And I don't think I'm gonna keep writing in here. I switched to livejournal. It's easier. And faster. And it's not little mood smileys! And this site sucks anyway. Should hear about the job on tuesday. Should a take a $10 an hour job that starts at 7am and it's an hour and 15 mins commute until I learn how to drive there and it's really really boring? And after 90 days they raise the pay to $15 an hour. So I still wouldn't be able to move out on that. On the one hand I might as well earn $10 an hour and get experience instead of just sitting at home, because I don't think I'll get a better paying job without experience. On the other hand, if I have this job I won't be able to go on interviews whenever I want to, so I won't be able to find a better job until I quit this one after 90 days at least, and by then it'll be May, and I'll need health insurance and stuff after May because I won't be covered by my mom's anymore, so I'd need a good job then and if I don't find one in a month or so that sucks. Or maybe if I sit at home I still won't find one by May. So who knows. So I think I'm kinda glad I'm not going back to Stevens. Even though I am going back to the lab once a week until I find a job. But that's a lot easier than classes. Hmm. For the last few nights I've been watching Boy Meets World and every single episode has made me cry! Ridiculous!! And the last two movies I watched I cried. And like, wtf is wrong with me? I don't want to be this sensitive! Hmm, maybe it's because I don't cry at all in real life (real life = not movie/tv watching life?) so I need to get it out somehow? Meh. Silliness. I'm so annoyed at my wallet though. Because last few months I've been more forgetful, leaving my keys in the laundry room, forgetting them in the room, forgetting my ID, thinking that I forgot my ID. I don't like being like that, and now the wallet thing. Yuck.
Last night's game was awesome!!! I don't know how Andrew even considered not taking me to the game. I really was sent to him by hockey gods or something. OK, enough of that. Actually, I feel kinda dumb for making a big deal out of the whole model thing. He's a great boyfriend and there was absolutely no reason to freak out about this. But I had a good weekend. Except for the one day I was home and was all sneeeezy. Even the day Andrew drugged me and I was asleep the whole day was good. I realized I'm not a big fan of turkey. But the cranberry sauce I made was gooooood. I think I've come across a depressing thought. Or two. But we'll see how I feel about everything soon. So I'm thinking I'm gonna stop updating here and just get an lj or dj and make it public for ya'll to read? Because the whole site thing is stupid because I don't update any other part, and it's completel crap because it's from like, 5 years ago. I started it back after junior year of highschool, when everyone was like, 'omigod Kate, you have a website, you're sooooooOOO cool!' but now it just sucks. And I started this before anyone really had blogs, I didn't even know that this was a blog, I just kinda started writing stuff everyday. Dunno. What do you think? Update on the blisters: I was told to pop them. So I did. Lots of yellowish liquid oozed out. So it looked like a deflated balloon on my toes. 2 hours later I look at them and... the bubbles are back and just as big!! How did that happen?!? Did the skin heal itself and fill itself with liquid again?? Ack!! Well I popped them again, and more yellow liquid oozed out (where does it come from?!?) and my mom told me to sleep with my toes out in the open so they can dry. I hope I don't wake up with more blisters tomorrow. Ack. Hey, you're lucky I'm not taking pictures. =)
So I have like, tons of interviews now. Well no, 3 more. If the stupid lady picks up her phone tomorrow. On the one hand it's like, yay interviews! But on the other it's like, I don't want any of these jobs or any job at all, so no yay. We'll see. I have lots of skin missing from my knuckles on my fingers. Oww. It needs to grow back. Ted said that it's been raining non stop because I hate god and god hates me. Mow. Sorry everyone? Yea, so the window in my room doesn't close all the way. It's fucking cold. Need boy here. Eeeeee. Whoa! It's my last semester here and I finally figured out how voicemail works in the room. So now that I know that, please feel free to call x3371 and leave me voicemails. Hee. Rob called. I miss him. His voice made me happy. I don't think he reads this anymore =\ Yay for NYC and gettingtickets for sitting in a park and not doing anything bad. Heh, the judge didn't throw out our summonses and we had to pay a fine. Stupid cops and stupid Bloomberg. Went on the rock climbing trip today. Not sure if it was worth going, but it was nice I guess. I only climbed once because 2 of the 3 cliffs were way too hard for me, so it was kinda silly to wake up at 7am and spend 10 hours of my day there to climb only once, but it was nice being outside and I guess it's worth it because I never knew how real rock climbing was done. I was kinda disappointed that I couldn't make it up the medium cliff... the start of it was pretty hard, the rest of it would've been fine. Most of the kids made it past the start, even the girls, and they were all shorter than me too, so I got kinda annoyed with myself that I couldn't do it. Sometimes it bugs me that I'm so much less athletic than everyone.. like, this rock climbing thing, and my running.. I've been running for 5 months now and I still can barely run 2 miles outside non stop. While most people can run that much after a couple of weeks of running. But Ted said that if this is the best I can do then I should be happy if I run two miles because it means I'm not doing less than what I can do and I'm doing as much as I can. Or something. I guess it was nice of him to say to make me feel better. I did run 4 miles yesterday though! Outside, too, so it was actually a challenge. Of course, we stopped at every mile for a couple of minutes, but we didn't walk, so we actually did run 4 miles. And I'm a little tired from that. But I was proud of me. OK, I'll shut up now =) Shayna got me a huge orange chapstick! Because she's awesome! And it tastes like a creamsicle! Whee! And the 7th Heaven season premiere was soo exciting! I was surprised. Although it's amusing that everyone who has premarital sex on 7th Heaven either gets an STD or gets pregnant.. well, gets the girl pregnant. Premarital sex is bad! Can't wait for tomorrow's Gilmore Girls! Oh oh oh oooh! Saw the trailer for Harry Potter 4!!! I hyperventilated and had like, a mental orgasm. Sooooo hot. So excited. November 18th. So yea, excitedness all over. And I have Andrew's keyboard (piano) here at Stevens for a while and I get to play so that's also cool. Yay! The more I think about it the more I don't want to ever have to work. Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets or something. I've been getting a lot of compliments about my body lately. From friends, not creepy men, so that's good. I guess it shows that I lost weight, and it's good that people are noticing because it gives me some motivation to keep running. But it's weird though... I'm still like, 7 pounds overweight, and I know guys who say they wouldn't even talk to girls who weight more than 140 pounds, and I weigh more than that and when I tell them that they're like, "what?? no way, you're not fat! that's impossible"... I guess I never looked my weight? Because I know girls who are bigger than me, but they say they weight less than me. Whatever, I don't know. And I also don't really care as long as I work out once in a while and fit into my jeans. Oh, and my jeans now fall off me. Ack! Gotta stop buying socks and start buying belts. YAY! Yay! Yay! I finally ordered knee/thigh high socks! And I also ordered super long warm winter socks that are longer than my legs. (No Julie, not the 40 inch ones, but my legs are short so even the 33 inch ones are loooong) So yea, there'll be more yay'ing when they arrive. And then everytime I wear them. Because I've wanted super long happy socks for a loooong while. Tee hee! Fall semester started. Nothing exciting to say. I have 3.5 classes this semester, should be super easy. I'll have lots of free time so if anyone wants to hang out with me before I graduate in December, lets do that. Yea, that's pretty much it.
January 17 - WOW, I suck. I didn't get the crappy $10/hr job. Yea. Was kinda upset about that. But my mom and Andrew both say it's for the best. Eh, we'll see. Andrew is the best =) Going to Stevens tomorrow night, yay! Does anyone miss me over there?
January 15 - 8 months! 2 days ago. On Friday the 13th. I like Friday the 13th! And odd numbers in general. Turns out my mom doesn't like just odd numbers, she likes prime numbers. I didn't know that till yesterday! Saw Munich today. Good movie. Gotta read the book now. The whole time during the movie I was thinking that I would've liked to read it more than watch it, too much blood and guns. I drove to the movies and back! AND I parked and pulled out on my own! I was so proud of me. My mom said that she forgot I was still learning how to drive because I drive well now. I feel it too. Not freaking out and nervous in the car. Maybe I'll actually like driving when I have to do it? Yay!
January 12 - Hmm let's see... had an interview yesterday, game night last night was fun, hung out in the city with Ted today. So everything's good. Yay!
January 8 - Eek road test in exactly a month! Oh! I drove on the belt parkway today for the first time ever! It was sooo exciting! Such a rush! It was only for one exit, but it was definitely enough for me for the first time. I was sooo excited. It was great. Kinda sore from the gym yesterday. And by kinda I mean OW OW OW I CAN'T SIT DOWN OR STAND UP WITHOUT HURTING. I gained 3 pounds since I moved home though. Which is bad because I've only been home for 3 weeks. So I need to stop eating. Mow.
January 7 - YAY went to see "We Used to go Out" at UCBT again last night. Good show. "It's no shirt o'clock!" Went to the gym today with Andrew, ran for an hour (5.5 miles). Not bad. Slept half the day somehow. I swear Andrew drugs me everytime I'm over there so he could watch hockey, and I end up sleeping half the day whenever I'm there. I'm glad my mom doesn't ask where I sleep there and stuff. Because that'd be awkward.
January 4 - Hm. Had a good day today. Hung out with Andrew AND Ted. Not together. Although Andrew's mom wants us all to hang out together. Ha. But that's not the point. My wallet was lost/stolen today. Probably not stolen because no one could've known it was in my jacket pocket and couldn't've (is that a word) unzipped it without me feeling it. It's possibly at the sushi place, I'll call tomorrow and ask, but for now I cancelled my credit card and atm card. Luckily my driver's learning permit wasn't in my wallet, just because I forgot to put it back in yesterday. I only had $25 in there and a $50 Best Buy card. And my Stevens ID. And a couple of other things but it's not such a big deal. I don't know how I didn't notice it missing though. Because my jacket pocket is all bulky with it, and I've reached in there for a metrocard, and a half hour later for my gloves... I think I would've noticed it being emptyish when I reached in there? Who knows. I really hope I left it at the sushi place and that they have it, and that I cancelled everything for nothing. Yea. Other than that, good day.
Whoa January 1 2006! - Happy New Year everyone! The weekend was great. I got sneakers! And running sneakers! And ice skates! Yay! And new years was fun! And today was nice. Watched "Diary of a Mad Blank Woman." Good movie, surprisingly. I thought it'd be one of those dumb comedies but it wasn't a comedy at all. Ooh, John got me kitties! And Nicole got me hot sauce, haha. And Andrew's amazing =)
December 27 - Yay I get to buy ice skates! 
Where's my head??
December 26 - Whoa! I had a christmas this year! Andrew's family is amazing! I got presents and stuff. And it was good, spending a whole weekend with Andrew. He got seltzer!!! That's like, the sweetest thing anyone can do. And of course, get me duct tape and yarn. That's also awesome. =))))))
December 21 - Heyy! Check out the duct tape bags I made!
December 20 - Whee! Today's driving lesson was awesome! I think there's actually a chance I'll be able to drive eventually! Was definitely a lot more confident today. Yay! Oh, so does anyone want me as a good luck charm? I work REALLY well with sporting events, as well as general every day stuff. Plus I'm cute. But Andrew doesn't seem to need me anymore. =\
December 19 - So home isn't bad so far. Went jogging yesterday, then to Julie's house. Had a driving lesson today, the guy said I wasn't too bad and should only need like, 5-6 lessons. Scheduled two more lessons for this week so I can start practicing with my mom or Andrew in the car without killing them hopefully (that'd be terrible!). Driving test is scheduled for February 8th, 10 am. Kinda later than I hoped for, but it gives me more time to actually learn how to drive - more chance I'll pass? And... I have an interview with MSKCC on December 29! Man, if I get the job at MSKCC I won't even need to drive. I hope the interview goes well because while I don't necessarily want the job, the location is perfect, and it's not like I want any job anyway. So yea, so far things are going great! And I'm gonna start looking for both FT and PT chemistry jobs now and sending out resumes. I figured while I'm looking for a full time job, if I won't have my license for another 1.5 months, there's a chance I won't have a job for at least another 2, but probably more, so I'll need money. So yea, home isn't too bad. Ooh! And I get to spend Christmas with Andrew! Instead of being a lonely Jew (yes, I'm Jewish).
December 17 - Tishman Christmas party last night was FUN! Lots of drinky drinky on an empty stomach. Then we went to a bar (ugh, now that I'm 21 they don't check IDs!) and who knew that guys will just hit on you the whole way to and from the bathroom just because you're female? Whoa! Well anyway, thank god for Lisa and Paul who drove us back to CPA. I don't think I would've made it back otherwise. This morning was so nice with Andrew. And now I'm home surrounded by all my stuff. But yay I have some closet space. Will be unpacking for most of tomorrow. I'm sleepy. Oh! Trishna made me a birthday cake and it is DELICIOUS! I like nice roommates who give you a cake as a going away present instead of a stolen mirror. So it looks like Liang won't be able to pay me next semester for research since he's running out of money from his grant anyway. But oh well I still need to continue working there like once a week just so it says that I still work there on my resume. Oh, last night was interesting because I went to the bathroom at the party and there was a woman puking all over herself there and I stayed to give her water and paper towels and she was all like, "wow why are you being so nice me? you're such a nice person I can't believe you're still here helping me, why are you doing this?" So it made me feel good. Even though by that time I was pretty drunk and hiccupy and not very walky myself, but seeing someone way drunker than you really sobers you up for that moment. Andrew's ex-coworkers are cool. But yea, I'm home. Ack. Anyone want to come to Brooklyn to hang out with me? No? Please? Mow.
December 16 - Babes + calculus hehehehe. So.... Done with all schoolwork! Just gotta go hand in my lab report. And pack pack pack! Yikes.
December 13 - Sooo.. I can finally write about my AWESOME birthday! I had 3 days of birthday, and I'm gonna have another one when me and Julie go out! Saturday night Andrew made me an AMAZING dinner! The menu for it was so awesome, and the whole night was PERFECT, with the music and the whole corny romantic candlelit table thing. Then sunday my mom and I went to a Ballet Hispanico show at Joyce Theater then went out to some fancy french place and ate salads and drank wine we can't pronounce. Then Julie came over and we watched a movie. Twas so awesome. As much as Brooklyn's gonna suck I'm excited to live near her again. And tonight me Andrew John and (uh oh, what was her name? well anyway she was cool) went out to Rogos for wings and beer. Being 21 is great! Although they didn't check ID, both today and on sunday. asdkfjshdkjhfsk. But yea. Music paper is done, amino acid paper is 90% finished, midnight breakfast tomorrow, final thursday, christmas party friday, and then done with college and moving out on saturday! So if anyone wants to hang out, I don't know when I'll have time but I'm sure we can figure something out. =)
December 10 - Oh man. I'm sooooo happy I don't know what to do with myself. This is beyond butt-dancing happy, this is giggling until I choke on the laughter and and flailing my arms around (I still can't fly) happy. Last night was soooo great!! Thanks Julie!! And everyone else involved in lying to me for two weeks in order to have the surprise party. Amazing! I had absolutely no idea! I was just hoping that Andrew's 'hockey tournament' goes well, and then upset that 'he's stuck in traffic' and we might miss the show, and happy that Julie and Eddie might go to the show with us. Little did I know there wasn't gonna be a show (hey I still have to go see Fixer sometime), and instead they spent like, hours trying to get me to come to the radio station. And then I did! After coming back to my room once because I forgot gloves (hey, I thought I'd have to walk all the way to the Path), then coming back to my room again because I forgot directions to the place. And then whoa! I saw Julie with a mask on and it was like, ok Julie always has something weird on her. Then I saw Max and Mike and I didn't even have time to register that they shouldn't be there, because within a fraction of a second I saw Andrew and cheesecake and John, and Ted, and Noah, and Alyse, and whoa!! Twas great. AHhhhhhhh so happppyyyy!!! And tonight should be great too! I just hope I don't die from food poisoning (sorry Andrew, I get to make fun of you too). And then tomorrow I'm going out with my mommy, and then Julie. It's like, a 3 day birthday!!!!! Whee! And I had cake and candles although they weren't lit because of Chris Jennings (JENNINGS!!), whom Eddie made out with??? Eek? But yea, great night last night. I can't believe everyone was in on it for so long and they just kinda nodded along with everything I said that had to do with my friday night plans and I had no idea. Ahhhh! Eeeeeeeee!
December 4 - I'm still alive! Will be 21 in a week. Should be cool. But in in a 'whoooo! lets go to a bar tonight and get trashed!' way. Today's exactly one year since mine and Andrew's first kiss. Whoa, right? Yea, I think so too. =) Semester's almost over. I'm graduating without a job. When a lot of people already have jobs even though they're graduating a semester later than me. Oh well. Not in a rush to work anyway. I have a sort of plan for after graduation. Gonna live at home, get my license, start really looking for jobs when I can actually drive to the interviews. In the meantime, gonna learn to use my grandma's sewing machine, actually finish a duct tape bag or two, work out once in a while. Maybe find a part-time job to have money in the meantime. And I'll get to hang out with Julie since we'll be 10 mins away from each other instead of 1.5 hours. Shouldn't be too bad. And feel free to come visit me in Brooklyn. Although I hear that people are only willing to do that if the girl offers to make out with the guy. In which case that offer applies to Andrew only.
November 27 - Happy Birthday JoooOOOOooOOOooooOOoOolie! =) <3456789
November 24 - Home = allergies. Gah.
November 23 - Oh uh, update? Yea I got nothing to say. Nothing exciting has happened.
November 15 - Yay 6 month anniversary 2 days ago. Yay bracelet. And carnations =)~ I like how when Andrew was talking to Trishna in my room about how he's glad he didn't get the job in Boston and stayed in NY he said he's glad the way things workedc out... he looked in my direction, past me, at NYC, and said he gets to go to Rangers games all the time, which he wouldn't be able to do if he was in Boston. Thanks Andrew.
November 12 - AHHHHH. ALLERGIES. And boredom at home. Not a good combination. Because home = allergies.
November 10 - Ugh ugh ugh. Thursdays make me so upset. The professor didn't even bother grading last week's quiz because it was so bad. And didn't bother giving one this week because we're hopeless. Instead he asked each one of us a question after the lecture... and of course everyone answered theirs except for me. I said I didn't understand what he was asking (I didn't!) and he was like, "Oh my god, it's like I just read the Bible to you and you're asking who Jesus is!" Ugh. So I mumbled something and he said he didn't understand what I was saying. So I told him I didn't understand what I was saying either. And Anna answered my question. She explained it to me after class but I still didn't get it. I suck. It would really suck if I don't pass the class. But me and Anna are gonna go to him next week and say we don't understand anything and it's just way too much for us. Not like that's gonna help. And I bowled crappy today. 113 and 107. I suck. =(
November 9 - Whoa!! CoolWhip is AMAZING. SOOOOO GOOD. I don't know what to do with all of it though. But yum. I made yummy dessert today. And dinner. I'd marry me.
November 6 - Dim sum was so exciting yesterday and the hockey game was delicious! But backwards. Hung out with John the whole day yesterday, which was awesome, and his friends are cool, and little teeny squid are so delicious and the Rangers game was awesome from the first section. Got over 12 hours of sleep last night. Whee! I ate squishy little squid things and seaweed yesterday and I like squishy delicious things!
November 3 - Geeeez thursdays suck. Well no, just the Bio class. Did I mention I got a 15 on the midterm? Yes, that's out of 100. I suck. And we had a quiz today I definitely got a 0. Lets hope I graduate? I also forgot to mention the Matchbook Romance concert last week. Twas awesome. I heard Andrew sing for like, a half a second!! And it was sexy. But yea, I'm tired as hell. And my music professor annoys me a lot. He's one of those that gives us life lessons and says 'deep' things in a quiet voice and tells us to think about it... Ugh. I just want to kick him in the face. Which is mean because he's a nice old man. But his opera that he wrote SUCKS. Tired. I've been doing this thing with my jaw lately which I only notice when I'm tired or when I'm waking up and going to bed. I guess I tense up my jaw otherwise so when I notice it it hurts a little. Umm... yea. Geeeez guys are stupid. Throwing out someone's stuff is so different than throwing out a gift from someone who refuses to be friends with you. Wow Lubin, you really are making a bigger shithead out of yourself every day. But I guess if pride is what you think you have, then keep it.
October 30 - Yea, I'm still alive. Lets start with the more recent stuff... Last night's party was fun. Thanks Kevin! Everyone, go to DressKevin.com and tell him what to wear. Because he'll wear ridiculous socks to shoprite because he's cool like that. Rocky Horror was pretty cool. I didn't know it was like one big orgy on stage and there was gonna be crotch dancing behind Noah's head. But still cool. I like the music. Must find it. Friday's halloween parties were good. Mel was here, yay! And my costume didn't work out so I had to wear stupid bat wings. But it really didn't matter. Parties were cool. Not as amazing as last year... is it because we're growing up? Because I have a boyfriend and wasn't looking to hook up with anyone? Who knows. But it was still good. I love TX's band. Woke up with a huge bruise on my knee yesterday morning. I'm a spaz and can't walk in boots. Halloween pictures coming soon. Need time to learn how to knit. And crochet. And upload the halloween pictures. And yea. Everything's good. 
Explosively cute.
October 21 - Interview was good. I don't get nervous anymore, it's cool. Actually kinda fun. Like, Rob said, enjoy the fact that they're paying someone to talk to me, and on Tuesday enjoy the fact that they're wasting 5 people's time and paying for my car service just so they can talk to me, so yea. The spanish guitarist, Mike Tillman was AMAZING. Like WHOA. Soooo good. Watching his hands was amazing. They were everywhere. Just wow. I hope that kid burns me a copy of the CD. YAY! I got knitting needles and pink yarn to practice on. Took most of the day, and Trishna's help, but I figured out how to do basic rectangles. Turns out there's a ton of different stitches and as I keep thinking of things I can make I keep thinking of different things I'd need to figure out how to do. But yay I like it. Yay for new hobby. Sooooo tired. Eyes not staying open. Must sleep.
October 20 - How are my blisters you ask? Better. Yay. Went running today. Yay. Going to buy knitting and crochet stuff tomorrow. YAY!! Won in bowling club tonight. Yay. Going to see Matchbook Romance in a week. Yay. And a lot of other cool stuff coming up soon. Yay. The only thing that's not yay is schoolwork. Failed a midterm today. Totally. I partially knew 2/5 of 1 of the 4 questions. That's less than 10%. That's a lot of failing. For the rest of the stuff I just drew random arrows for mechanisms. Whee, arrows! I abstained from drawing confused monkeys all over the paper. I don't think this professor has a sense of humor. He's an asshole. I asked him for help once and he pretty much shrugged and shoo'ed me out of his office. E-mailed him 2 days ago asking when he'll be in because I had questions about notes for the midterm. He never replied. And he wasn't in his office. And he didn't even come to give out the exam today, had someone else do it. Thanks. Asshole. What the hell do we pay you for? And he doesn't even have a prepared lab for us. Ugh. Hate hate hate. Hate. And I've been failing music quizzes. Which is totally my fault. I never bought the book. Who knew there was more than one kind of minor scale?? Oh well. I just keep putting off all kinds of studying. Senioritis x2 because I only have one semester of it? Eh. We'll see. I'm excited about etsy.com. Must find time for it. Yay mellow!
October 18 - How have I been? I've been good, thanks for asking. Went rappelling on sunday. Rappelling's kinda cool. Was really scary the first time, knees were shaking and stuff. But once you see that the rope is holding you, it's like, wheeee! down! Went to a Rangers game last night. It was actually pretty exciting. Mostly because we got to sit upfront and see everything. Man, I'm an idiot for copying down Rich's # wrong. Had the Notre Dame HS teacher interview today. Andrew's mom ROCKS. She drove me there and then to the ferry afterwards. Yay. Anyway, they said they'll call me back in a couple of weeks to come sit in on a few classes and do a mock lesson. Scary!! I don't know how to talk in front of people! But like, I wasn't even nervous for today's interview. So maybe there's hope for me yet. Interview shoes suck. I have HUMONGOUS blisters on my pinkie toes. Bubbles like, half the size of my toes. It's soo soo sooooo gross. And kinda painful. It was weird, I wore the shoes for hours and was fine, I was walking and thinking 'wow this is great my feet don't hurt at all' and then I stopped at a long light and when I started walking it was incredible pain. By the time I got to my mom's school (10 mins later) to put on bandaids I already had big blisters. And then I walked some more. And then some more. Owwwww. Sorry for the details. Man, I blow-dried my hair this morning, and it looks sooo good. If I wasn't lazy I'd make my hair this pretty every day. So I have my first actual test this semester on thursday. It's scary. I don't really know bio-organic synthesis stuff. Ack. Oh oh! I found (well no, they found me on myspace) this awesome amazing band - fixer. Go listen to the songs on the site. Gonna go to a couple of their shows in the next month. Owww my blisters. Hee, when you touch it it's like a quarter of an inch of squishiness - it's like a skin pillow! Ewwww.
October 13 - <3
October 11 - 2 months till 21! Or at least I think it deserves a !... I'm allergic to home. So my nose is all red and big and my face hurt all of yesterday. Bleh. I look nice today =)
October 6 - So you ask how my interviews were? The first one was stupid. I went to the ghetto of Brooklyn to have them ask me if I'm taking a full course load now and then tell me they're looking for someone to start working in October. Couldn't they ask me that over the phone seeing as how they had my resume and knew I didn't graduate yet? Fuckers. Second one was a real interview. And the interviewer was Ilya's dad, which is kinda interesting. It was OK. With the career development people emphasizing all the stupid behavioral questions, I forgot that I should also know chemistry for an interview. So when he asked me a bunch of questions and to do a bunch of calculations I didn't exactly get them all. But I think he liked me and realized that I either did know all that stuff and forgot, or just never got a chance to learn it all in depth yet (all the questions about instruments and how they work). So he said he'll recommend me for an on-site interview. That'd be cool. I can't wait to get interviewed by 4 people at once? Ack. And I have another interview on the 18th as a chemistry teacher in SI. Anyway. Yoplait's thick and creamy yogurt is amazing. Their fluffy whipped yogurt is pretty good too, but too sweet. The thick and creamy stuff is good though. I look really cute in interview clothes. And I've been obsessed with cinnamon for the last week. Spam + cinnamon, pudding + cinnamon, hot chocolate + cinnamon, yogurt + cinnamon, all good. Went to UCBT last night. The shows was really really good. I was surprised. One was "We Used to Go Out" and the other one was "A Lame-Ass Staff Meeting." If they're ever there again, go see it. It's no shirt o'clock!
October 3 - 
I adopted a cute lil' pirate fetus
from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!
October 2 - Yay! Got interview clothes! And a cute skirt and a turtleneck and fabric to make my halloween costume and I think I got other stuff but I forget because it's been a long day. Phew. Tiredness. Oh! I got an aloe plant! It's kinda like my pet because I needed something to take care of and love. Although it doesn't need a lot of care. Barely any care. But that doesn't mean I don't love it! And if you ever get burned or have a rash or a wound or asthma or constipation, come to me, because the aloe plant cures everything! =) Now I need to get a mint plant. What other useful plants should I get? Ooh, I should grow garlic and green onions. And that'll keep the vampires away. Because there's a vampire infestation in CPA? I think I'm gonna go get some sleep.
October 1 - Just as I was about to write a whole big rant about how Stevens doesn't care about chemistry majors and nothing they've done has helped me with getting any kind of job yet and even when I do ask for help they give me completely useless links and info and help... I got a call yesterday for my first interview! Of course, Stevens had nothing to do with it, it was me searching all on my own, but still, yay! It's for a fragrance company in Brooklyn that makes fragrances for L'Oreal and Mary Kay and a bunch of other big companies, which is awesome because if anything, I'd want to go into cosmetics, but it is a boring QC job. We'll see. I got shoes today for the interview, and (hopefully) gonna get a suit of some sort tomorrow. Although I don't see why I need a suit for a lab job. Oh well. Yay! It was exciting. Had Thai food today... I tried Thai iced coffee... it is soooo good. And then I had fried cheesecake, which I think is the most amazing thing I've EVER had. It is soooo good. It's like a warm crispy mushy cheesecakey orgasm in your mouth. AMAZING. Did I mention I had a paper published? I don't remember if I mentioned it on here. Anyway, check it out. You can download a pdf version of it too. Yes, I know it's really boring. And yes, I know that I barely know what it's about. Speaking of which, gotta go read my paper and figure out what my research for the last year has been about, then read up on GC/MS and everything else that I claimed to know in my resume for my interview. Ack!
September 28 - Well the career fair wasn't a total waste of time - Colgate gave me toothpaste and soap! And the soap smells good, too. =) But no, it was good. I'm sure I won't magically get a job just from talking to someone at Colgate, but it was good to do it. I saw that it wasn't scary at all. I thought I'd be all nervous, but I wasn't. So maybe this won't be so scary after all. Oh! And now I have a cover letter, so instead of e-mailing everyone my resume, I'll be mailing it out with a cover letter when there's an address provided. That should get their attention more, right? Eh, whatever. I'm listening to Phantom of the Opera now. It's the sexiest movie ever. When she's following the phantom and singing Past the Point of No Return it's just so hot. Gotta see the movie again.
September 27 - Oh man! I just came up with the best idea ever! Sex that's physically straining should be called sexercise! Oh! And they should have routines made up for different levels of difficulty depending on the couple's physical ability and the guy's ability to last. *5 minutes later* Dammit! They have it. And dammit, another site has videos also. So me and Andrew can't become millionaires from my brilliant idea. I wonder what the videos are like though - porn or an actual like, say 30 minute workout with someone telling you what to do and counting to the music for you. Ha. Too bad though. It's my one interesting idea of like, the year and it's already taken.
September 25 - In case you've been wanting to see the Corse Bride... don't. It's stupid. The only good thing about it was seeing the Harry Potter trailer before it. I just gasped when I saw it and sat there holding my breath and grabbing Andrew's arm in excitement throughout the whole thing. Anyway, a couple of the dead/corpse puns are cute, but the movie is totally predictable (even for me) and just really friggin boring. Johnny Depp is cute, but why waste his acting on a movie where you can't see him? Bad movie. But... Fever Pitch is now one of my favorite movies! It was a corny chick flick, but it was with Drew Barrymore, and I love her. She was great. And their corny love story wasn't as corny as other movies - it wasn't like they meet and fall in love a week later.. this was more realistic where they were going out for 11 months. And Jimmy Fallon was great. I never realized how cute he was. And his baseball obsession was cute. During the movie I was thinking something I thought about broadway plays/musicals before - the director has about an hour to make the viewers fall in love with the character so they would get attached and start feeling the movie so much more. And I dunno, the movie was awesome. Hmm, maybe I did like it a lot because it reminded me of me and Andrew. But yea, awesome movie.
... And that's the end of movie review with Kate.
September 23 - Oh yay! I went to the gym this morning and I weighed myself and I lost another pound when I've been convinced that I started gaining weight back since the semester started because I've been eating a LOT and I've been having ice cream like, 3 times a week. BTW, go to Baskin Robbins and try the Truffle in Paradise ice cream. In a sugar cone. It's amazing. I'm so addicted to it.
September 22 - Mmm chocolate... I cooked yesterday! And it came out good! Check out earth.google.com</a>. I like that kind of stuff. Yesterday me and Andrew were walking on Washington street and some old guy comes up to us and tells us we look like a nice couple. It made me grin for like, 5 blocks straight. And for those 5 blocks we were walking behind the guy and we passed like, 10 other couples and we watched him and he didn't say anything to the others! So it's just us, and we look like a nice couple. Tee hee! Oh man, everyone keeps asking to do me because I have pigtails today. I wanted to wear pigtails as a cute innocent happy thing (they're so happy-looking, wheee!) but no, everyone's like, handlebars and do me. Oh! I finally got bathtub crayons! So bathtime will be fun now! Tee hee! <3's!
September 19 - ARRRRRRRRR! It be Talk like a Pirate Day!
September 18 - YAY! For the first time in three years I didn't get dumped on September 18th! Well, I got fake-dumped by Julie (<3) but that was all part of the plan to not get real-dumped by Andrew. Andrew's wonderful =)
September 12 - An update, you say? Things are good. This semester is way to fucking easy. Although I might change my mind later when I'm writing a 30 page term paper, but for now it's ridiculously easy. Been reading a lot. And enjoying midnight tea outside. Still running a couple of times a week. The semester's good. Even all the stupid drama with the choosing friends over friends and worrying about what your other friends think of your decisions that usually goes away after junior high school doesn't bother me, because I got over all that a while ago. Whee! I found a Gilmore Girls buddy! So now I don't have to bother people to watch it. Until later, my peoples.
September 1 - So I talked to a couple of my friends about my whole job search thing, and I revealed to them that I'm kind of nervous about the whole interview process because (1) I'm not good with people and sounding all mature and smart and selling myself and all that and (2) I don't think I know enough chemistry to get a job anywhere. And the response I seem to get from everyone is "don't worry Kate, just smile and tell them you're cute/they'll see that you're cute and you'll get the job." Now I don't like that. But only because that means that they agree that there's no way I'd get a job using my chemistry knowledge or interview skills. But at the same time I'm not too worried about getting a job because even if I don't find one by the end of the semester I don't think I'll be that upset, like, Oh no, I wouldn't get to do something I don't want to do anyway. So yea I'll do as much as I can to try to get a job, but even if I live at home after graduation and it takes me a few more months to find a job, I can deal with that. I think. And honestly, I don't know what I can possibly do to have better results with my job hunt. OCD only recommended one company that they know of that's hired a chemist from Stevens in the last 3 years. Yea, now I see why a good program in your major is important in your school. So I've been sending out resumes on my own... and if no one is getting back to me then there's nothing I can really do about it, right? I've called a couple of recruiters and I'll call a couple of more, and I'll keep sending out my resume, but until I have anything else on my resume them not wanting to interview me isn't gonna change. So as I see it, no point in stressing out over it, I'll just do what I can for now. Oh, and I just remembered, my research professor said I can continue working in the lab if I don't find a job.. I don't know if he meant he'd pay me, or to just keep doing it.. but at least that'll add another bulletpoint on my resume while I'll still be looking for a real job. Yea, we'll see what happens. Wish me luck. And if know have any chemistry friends/relatives please let me know what they do just so I'd have more ideas about where I can work.
August 31 - Happy birthday Jimmy!
