It's been a long time
Well, its been a long time since my last entry. I would update you on everthing that's happened since then, but it's just waaaay too long to even try. JMU won the Div. 1 AA National Championships against Montana (Gooooo Dukes!) However, despite the fact that we won the voting portion of the 2004 Mascot challenge by a clean sweep (undefeated 11-0) Monte, Montana's mascot was crowned the Mascot of the year. I am very upset about this, and just as upset about the "crowning" of the mascot of the year. So after originally being skipped over for an apartment, I have remedied the situation and we are currently being offered an apartment on the first floor. Would much rather be on the second floor, so we're all hoping and praying that 1810 H lets the apartment people know by...today that they will not be living there next year. 1810 H, if you're out there, call Stone Gate because my friends and I would like your apartment. Subbed again today, but only for half a day because I'm about to drive out to the Southampton Post Office so I can hand in my passport stuff. Why not just drive to Remsenburg? Good question. Bc they don't do that kind of thing there, I dunno why seems easy enough to check someone's IDs and make them say an oath, but whatever, to Southampton I shall drive. G2G get this passport stuff taken care of. Current Mood:  anxious | | Tuesday, November 16th, 2004 | | 12:44 am |
Student Ambassadors
Well, I did not get a student ambassador interview; however, I have written a formal complaint to the head of student ambassadors, explaining why I should be given an individual interview...will it help? probably not, but hey, I figure it was worth a shot. Going home for thanksgiving in less than a week! :D Get to see Richie in 8 days, which is just amazing, and I'm getting my hair cut in 8 days! :D I'm also working for two days over thanksgiving, hey a little extra money never hurt anyone. So, the play's going good...i get to beat a guy up, and it's all good. I feel like I have a lot of work to do this week and I stress out about it and then I actually sit down to do it, and then I have none to do, so it's weird. Like i look up at my to do board and I have one thing due tomorrow. So i do it, and i'm done at 8:30 PM, weird. I'm sure tomorrow will be different. All I know is I need to stop stressing out so much. So apparently, JMU being the number one team in the atlantic 10 conference was defeated this saturday in the last 5 seconds of the game by william and mary--the number 10 team in the conference. What seemed like a sure thing apparently was not, and now we're not sure if we're even going to make playoffs like we'd hoped we had. :/ Had a great weekend at Juniata visiting allyson this weekend...got a little lost on the way up, but no biggy, and she's not even that far away so it's very cool :D I saw two movies: after the sunset with Pierce Brosnan where he's a thief--very good, i'd recommend it if you like the action/comedy type thing. Also so surviving x-mas with ben affleck--also good, cute, funny movie. Saw "the real Penn State," although I didn't actually go inside, ate at a Huss's, among other things, so overall a very fun, relaxing weekend. (cept for the fact that my cell didn't work up there so i have a lil roaming charges--thanks sprint, thanks :P) Well, I think that about sums it up right now--gonna try not to stress out as much, just keep doin the work on my to do board, and survive this last week of school before break. After that, it's only one more week left of school--that's two classes of each class left!!! (Well, ghist has 3 if u count the discussion class) So, a grand total of 20 classes left until finals. And after finals i am driving up to see Richie and go to his mil ball :D so, i just need to make it through 20 classes, a math final, a history final, anthropology final (which is really just a test), a science test, a science project, and I am golden. Woooohooo! And on a side note, I really think it sux that sophmores have to take that dumb assesment in february, trust, i will find a way out of it!!!!

Yeah...
So, I was just sitting around waiting to talk to Richie, when I realized that seeing I had taken my link out of my profile, I have not been updating my journal...like at all. So here I am. I got into a one act play. I have a really small part--I speak a total of 7 times and have 11 lines altogether...really not big at all, but it's something, and more than I ever had with Ms. Howard! I have a paper due this Thursday, I may change my mind and do a later paper, but I really want to just get this done and over with, so I'll see how it goes. I have an anthropolgy exam on Nov. 4, which means I need to write some bs paper for that. My GSCI class has changed teachers, and I don't like the new teacher. (Stupid block courses) And I can't see Richie until Thanksgiving break, and being that it is Thanksgiving break, who knows how much i'll see him... :*( Sux? I think yes! We have a little dorm situation which I don't care to discuss. But i did see this freaky girl walking down the hall tonight and I was like woah! I've decided to be a tennis playa for halloween (this way i don't have to buy ne sort of costume--but i am borrowing stuff from tori, but it's all good) Can't wait to tye dye my sheet for my toga for homecoming game (which M-a and Raisinette have BACKED OUT ON DOING (thanks a lot guys ;-))) Well, that's all for now. Current Mood: blah | | Sunday, September 26th, 2004 | | 11:48 pm |
Auditions
So tonight I tried out for some director's fest...it's like a bunch of one act plays (I think) all put together. i won't find out if I made it or not until Tuesday, which kinda sux, but I don't really care that much one way or another. It'd be really cool to do, but not something that if I don't get, i'm gonna cry about. Well, i have a shit load of work to do, so i'm going to hop to it. PS ILMT!!! :D Current Mood:  stressed | | Thursday, September 9th, 2004 | | 12:58 am |
Acapella Auditions
So today I had acapella auditions. My first audition of the night when alright. I was extremely nervous and my knees were knocking together...I'm pretty certain I messed up my scales, but my song sounded good (atleast to my ears) My second audition, my scales were a lot better (probably because I had warmed up more) but when I went to sing my song...I forgot the words...It was sooooooo embarressing!!!!! :( Then I tried out for Exit 245 (for those who don't go to JMU--they're an all male acapella group) That was a lot of fun just because I knew I wasn't gonna get in. (For very obvious reasons) But I did get to sing for the guys and entertain them and everything. So it's all good. And after that I came back to the dorm...and I'm EXTREMELY anxious and just WAITING to hear if I got a call back or not. I really hope I did...just so I can atleast prove to the one group that I DO know the words to the song!!! :-/ But I'm gonna go to sleep, because I don't think they're calling people tonight...and I have a headache and I'm tired. But I DO get to see Richie in 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Current Mood: anxious | | Monday, August 23rd, 2004 | | 6:56 pm |
Back at JMU
Well, I've moved back into JMU at beautiful Wayland Hall, where my aunt lived on the second floor when she attended JMU, and where she met my uncle bc he had to build a loft for her. So, I'm moved in, but I am not unpacked, oops. First day of classes was today, and they went really well. I'm really excited about these two science classes bc they are made for elementary education majors so they're super fun and easy. I love the people in my wing of Wayland. They're all really nice and really cool. (Like the Renee's) ;-) Renee's gonna be in my synchronized swimming club that I start up so it's gonna be really cool. Well, i'm gonna go try to find a job. | | Wednesday, July 14th, 2004 | | 12:13 pm |
Sorry Lauren
So nothing exciting has been happening lately, that's why I haven't written in my journal in a really looooooooooooong time...that and I don't have excess time where I am trying to procrastinate studying or doing work like I did at JMU. I've been lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons at Peconic, and private lessons on the side- it's all been going well, and keeping me very busy. We move out of the house in one week-needless to say, I am no where near being ready to move out (uh-oh!) Today I taught lessons at the club, and I bought some new fish that sink to the bottom to get the kids to go under the water and stuff, well I thought I had four medium sized fish, but apparently I only have three. I went home and told my mom about how I thought Collin had lost it underneath the deck and how disappointed I was, and then she pointed out that it only came with three. So I went downstairs to the trash (the box wasn't actually in the trash, it was next to it) and checked the box- and she was right, it only came with three mid-sized fish. Ooops. Sorry Collin-I called him at work before he crawled underneath the deck to get it. Well, sorry this is short, more things happened, but they're pretty much uneventful- I saved a boogie board-but no kids yet, which is good, i'd rather not have to save a kid- not that i wouldn't, but i would just prefer not to have to-it's a lot of pressure and stress to put on one person. Well, anyways i g2g jump in the shower and head over to Katie H's house to work on the duet. Current Mood:  embarrassed | | Wednesday, June 2nd, 2004 | | 11:35 pm |
Another long gap of time between entries
So I'm working at the Peconic Beach Club and i'm really excited about it! I think it's gonna b a really great job that I enjoy. And today I bought a sweatshirt that says lifeguard on the back (and a lil lifeguard thingy on the front left side) and i also got sweatpants that say lifeguard on the butt. (That's right Alex, me and my butt thing, it just wouldn't be right if it wasn't there..lol) I don't really know what else to say...I don't feel like writing in this right now, i just figured i would bc i hadn't done it in awhile so yeah i'm gonna go. Happy early birthday to Dominique!!! :D Current Mood: goofy | | Tuesday, May 18th, 2004 | | 1:03 pm |
Haven't written in awhile
So I went to Pulaski and had a BLAST. Tori and her two friends, Tanna and Hillary, went with us to her grandparents house-where I went swimming and got a tan! And then we went back to Tori's house and all four of us dyed (however u spell it) red!!! (Mine's just the bottom part of my hair-you can't see it when I wear my hair down) And then Tori came up to Long Island! I took her to meet all my LISST buddies and then took her to one of the beaches and then she had to go home :( It sucked bc then I had no one to talk to. I started looking for jobs and applied at a whole bunch of places. But stupid me, I applied to places I knew I didn't wanna work and then I got offered a job at the restaurant at the inn at quogue, but i don't really wanna work there so i turned it down, and I am still job-less :( The past few days I've just been sitting around my house bored out of my mind with nothing to do. :P I'm gonna start applying for a day camp counselor job and see how that goes, although I really want to work at the Peconic Beach Club, but i won't hear back from them for another week I think. :P I know it'll all work out in the end, it just sux right now being broke and not working and having to pay for gas that's over $2 a gallon out here!!! It' cRaZy!!! Well, I'm gonna go take a shower and maybe call a couple more places today about getting a job-hopefully i'll have some success :P Current Mood:  bored | | Saturday, May 1st, 2004 | | 6:12 pm |
Only 3 Finals to go
I am finished with all my freshmen classes! I was done on Thursday. I took my first final today, GCOM (communications). I already know what I got because you take it online so you find out right away. I got an 81! Not bad, but I am a little disappointed. I studied for about 10 hours. I wanted to get a little better, but an 81 is def cool with me! :D It's hard to believe that after only three more finals, I'm going to be done with my freshmen year of college!!! I'm really excited!!! I can't wait to go home and see everyone! (Although, I am going to miss everyone here-have fun over the summer, don't forget to call, IM me, or e-mail me sometime!) That's all for now, I have to go study! Everyone enjoy their summer and don't forget to keep in touch! Current Mood:  contemplative | | Monday, April 26th, 2004 | | 12:30 am |

My last party night at JMU as a Freshman
Well, 10 days until summer and 13 until Tori comes and invades Long Island with me! (yaaaaaay!) If you guys wanna see a picture of me and my Oak friends (and Sean's gf who's coming to JMU next year :-D) click this: http://community.webshots.com/photo/137581735/137584650CMcaBg (Or if you can't click it, control v it into the address box because I'm a dumbass and have no idea how to actually physically post it into my entry (sorry) I'm gonna miss all of my Oakies next year when they move off campus and I stay on! Don't forget about me, come and visit, and let me come visit (especially when it's really hot and i need an air conditioned retreat ;-) lol) Current Mood:  excited | | Sunday, April 25th, 2004 | | 3:10 am |
Last Party Night at JMU as a Freshman
Well, I just survived my last night partying it up as a freshman. From Mountain View's football party, to south view, and back to good ol' you can always find a party at Ashby, Chesney, Alex, Lauren, Betsy, and I have survived the night! We made it back to the dorm safe and sound. Sean and his gf met up with us in Ashby and after getting back to the dorm, me, Sean, and his gf ordered cheesy bread. I ate cheesy bread at 3 AM, something I don't plan on doing at home. Even if I wanted to, where would I get it from? This summer I am going to miss everyone at Oak Hall and at JMU. I'm not going to be able to turn to my roomy at 1 AM and start laughin at something stupid someone said. I can't walk next door to visit friends, I'm gonna have to get in my car and drive somewhere. When I want food, i'm gonna have to set, clear, and wash the dishes. I suppose one small, teeny tiny, part of me wants to stay in the college life (although, i wouldn't mind if it was a different college) but the majority of me keeps yelling GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! This summer's gonna be soooo awesome! I'm gonna get to see my family, friends, and Richie-all summer long, despite the fact that we're all going to be working, but that doesn't matter, we'll still all be in one place! And, god willing, I will have a job of my own and I can have money!! :-D So, I lived it up, no one can say I didn't go out the last weekend at JMU. And you know what sux? Is now I have to study for finals. Who wants to do that? Not me. But I will, even though I don't want to. Current Mood:  sleepy | | Saturday, April 24th, 2004 | | 3:31 am |
Mean Girls
Last night Betsy, Chesney, and I played "girl talk" thanks to Alex's friends that came to visit her a couple of weekends. It's one of those games from the 80s that are meant for younger kids but somehow when you play it, it's still a lot of fun. (kinda like when we play party mania at allye's house) Anyway, that was our cRaZy thursday night. Tonight, Lauren, Betsy, Chesney, Alex, and I all went to see the butterfly effect. (It was my second time seeing it-it was just as good as the first time! i wanna own it on DVD!) The people sitting in the row in front of us were really really annoying. The movie is not that scary in my opinion, all though it is extremely suspenseful and at parts made me jump (the first time-obviously i knew what was going to happen the 2nd time, so i didn't jump or nething). Well, the row in front of us let out blood-curling screams, left at Ashton Kuther's character at serious moments-like when he was a parapalegic (sorry if i spelt that wrong), and then cried in the end. After that, we went back to the dorm for like half an hour or so and then we decided to go to Ashby to party. We walked there, but nothing was going on, so we took the bus back. It didn't matter though, we wanted to see mean girls anyway. So, tonight, april 24th it is now, oh side note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! Anyway, tonight we saw a midnight showing a mean girls. That's right, everyone should be jealous, the movie comes out on the 30th, and i saw it a week ahead of time! hellll yeah! Not to mention it was FREE! (And who doesn't like a free movie? come on now!) The movie was pretty funny, there were some things i didn't really like about it, but it still was really funny. Well, i'm gonna head off to bed now. (Being that it's 3:39 AM and all-waaaaay past my bed time) Sorry it took me so long to update my journal... Current Mood: blah | | Monday, April 12th, 2004 | | 1:27 am |
PS
Sorry, forgot to put this in the last journal entry. But this weekend was also a GREAT weekend because (well week actually) because I found out I got a suite with 3 awesome girls next year in Wayland!!! (wooohooo! For those of you who don't go to JMU, it's the nicest dorm on campus, well it has the biggest rooms anyway) We're on the first floor at the end of the hallway (SCORE!!!) Watch out Wayland, Jenna, Emma, Tori, and Mandy are on their way! How SUITE it is! Oh, and one more thing, is it just me, or does my mood seem to be energetic or excited a lot? Current Mood: excited | | 1:17 am |
Easter Weekend
Happy Easter everyone! (Sorry it's coming a little late, but this is the first time I had a chance to write in the journal.) So this past weekend I drove home, hit traffic heading up and back down...fun fun! :-P It was worth the treck though. I got to go shopping with my mom and sister :-D Hang out with Richie, hang out with Richie and his HS friends (gotta love being the only girl there ;-)), hang out with Richie, Keith, and Keith's gf (who, by the way, I met for the first time this weekend, and she seemed really nice) went to church with the family and had brunch at my aunt and uncle's house with the family. So it was a lot of fun. The ride back kinda sucked, but when I was stuck in traffic I had a little entertainment. A car, which was obviously a stick shift because the driver did not know how to drive a stick shift, kept jumping and stalling and it was HILARIOUS! I was laughing so hard. Finally, the passenger in the car switched with the person who was driving and stalling and they didn't have anymore problems, which sucked for me, because then there was no more entertainment. :-/ Oh well. Just wanna wish my girl Stacey (i hope i spelt that right-if it's not right, lemme know and i'll change it) a Happy 19th Birthday!!! (By the way, still haven't heard from the GCOM teacher about Tuesday yet...) Also, I wanna congratulate Chris, from RWU, for getting the RA job for next year. (Hahaha-richie still doesn't know and I know before him-wooohoo!) Well, I'm gonna head off to bed now, I'm exhausted and I can't breathe. Which, that reminds me, I wanted to thank Richie for this FABULOUS cold that I got, which we both know was well worth it. :) So, I'm gonna go smear some vicks on my self in a sad attempt to help me breathe and head to bed. Current Mood:  energetic | | Thursday, April 1st, 2004 | | 4:46 pm |
Fall 2004
My schedule for next semester is going to suck. (Not that i've made it yet, but I looked online to see what classes were being offered.) Basically, I am either gonna end up with like 3 science classes, 3 history classes, 2 math classes, or something like that... And I'm not saying I'll end up with that so I won't have Friday classes...I mean, out of all the classes offered, those are the ones I'm going to be able to take. For example, the math class I need to take, there is only ONE class being offered. Out of all the IDLS majors there are in JMU, you would think they would have to offer more than ONE IDLS required Math class, wouldn't you? But no, the only time they are offering that Math class is T/TH from 3:30-4:45, which eliminates a lot of the other classes that I need to take...so what am I supposed to do? Tori says I should just take some electives, but I don't have time to take electives! I wish I did, but I don't, then I'll be behind and will DEF be here for 7 years! This whole scheduling thing is ridiculous and stresses me out and I will feel a lot better after it is all done! Current Mood:  aggravated | | Tuesday, March 30th, 2004 | | 3:54 pm |
Side Note
Just as a side note, JMU has posted what classes are being offered Fall Semester 2004, and I took a look to see what classes I could be taking and a tentative schedule and what not...it's not looking good. And I don't mean in the sense that I'm going to have a bizillion classes on Friday, I mean in a sense that all the classes I need to take, there is only like one class being offered, and they're all at the same time...So like I said, it's not looking good...:-/ Current Mood: frustrated | | 3:35 pm |
I Surprised Richie!
I did it! I surprised Richie! My plane was delayed, so instead of arriving at RWU at 8:30 PM, I arrived at 9:30 PM, went to Chris's dorm and waited for Richie to come with Chris (duh), Brian, and Tim, Chris's roommate. Tim told me to sit at his desk because he always sat there and Richie was not likely to notice me sitting at the desk. So as I was telling everyone in the room about how I had called Chris and schemed this whole thing out, Richie walks into the room. (Somehow he managed to get into the building without calling Chris.) He looked around the room, looked right past me, then looked back at me, looked at Chris, and looked back at me and went, "What the heeell??? How'd you get in here, I can't even get in here!" (Which, side note, must not be true because he got into Chris's dorm without calling him, so I guess he can get in.) It was sooo great. And then we walked over to another dorm where another one of Richie's friend lives, who had hurt himself in a snow mobile accident. And on our way over to visit I asked Richie if I had really surprised him and he said, "Yeah, it totally blew me away." That alone made my weekend awesome. Current Mood: ecstatic | | Tuesday, March 23rd, 2004 | | 1:52 pm |
Richie has no idea
Richie has no idea that I am sneaking up to Rhode Island this Thursday and I loooooove that he has no clue! I am so excited right now I don't know what to do with myself!!!! :-D So yesterday I was super sneaky, and I am really very proud of myself. I found out what I got on my MSCI midterm (110-that's right 110 out of 100) so I called Richie's room phone at about 10:30 hoping to talk to Clint (his roomy), but with a back up plan in case Richie picked up. (The midterm score) Neway, Richie picked up so I acted all excited (which I was) and told him my midterm score and that I was really sorry I couldn't wait until tonight to tell him how well I had done. He totally bought it-which is good. On that phone call, I found out that he had class at 1 PM. So, at 1:10, I gave his room phone another call, hoping that Clint would be in the room. And Clint was. So, I asked Clint to do me a huuuuuge favor. (Oh, I was also hoping that Richie had left his cell phone in his dorm room, and he had) I asked Clint to get Chris's cell phone number, the one that goes to RWU, so that I could call him and get him in on the whole surprise. Well, I was also hoping that out of all the Chrises that Richie knows that Clint would find me the right one and I wouldn't end up calling Norm or something like that. Clint found a number which he believed was Chris's (the one from RWU). It was a 978 number, so I was thinking it had to be him. So I called Chris, who did not pick up his phone, but atleast by his voice mail I was able to tell that I had gotten the right phone number. So I left a voicemail, and just prayed that Chris was not around Richie at the time and been like who's number is this and then have Richie be like "that's Jenna! wtf?" Anyway, I def sounded like an idiot on the voice mail, I'm sure of this. Trying to explain who I was an all, "Hi Chris, this is Jenna, Richie's gf, the one that goes to JMU..." Something like that. Chris called back about an hour or so later. Luckily, he had listened to his voice mail and called me right back. (That's right, he hadn't talked to Richie) I think Chris was about as excited as I was about surprising Richie. He was really great about it. He was like "I can't wait to see the look on his face...of course I'll help you...this is gonna be great...etc..." It was such a nice change from Clint, who you would think couldn't care less if I was surprising Richie or not, and was totally unexcited and unenthusiastic about it. So I got off the phone with Chris, more hyper and excited then ever. I wish it was Thursday today. Or atleast Wed. so that tomorrow I could wake up and get to go to Rhode Island and surprise Richie. I can't wait to see the look on his face! Ayla says, "He's gonna piss his pants!" PS Chris is my new best friend! So here's the plan. I'm taking a 6:15 flight. Now, assuming that the flight is not delayed, I should be in Rhode Island by 7:25, if not earlier, depending on how things go. I will take a taxi to Kennedy Plaza, Providence. Hopefully I will get there before 7:48, so I can take that bus to Bristol, RI and be at Richie's school by 8:30. If my plane is delayed, or if it takes more than twenty minutes to get from the airport to kennedy plaza, then I will have to take the 8:45 bus to RWU, which will have me to RWU at 9:23. I'm really hoping to be there by 8:30 (at RWU) but I'm not sure it will...i'm just hoping it will. (Otherwise I'll be in providence for an hour :-P) Anyway, when I get off the bus at RWU, I will not call Richie, but instead will call, Chris and head over to his dorm (Cedar). Once inside his dorm, Chris will call Richie and tell him that he has to come over to his dorm for one reason or another. (Big dog's drunk, he has a new air soft gun he's gotta see, etc...) Richie will come (hopefully, otherwise I'll have to beat him up) and Chris will go downstairs and let him in. I'll be in Chris's room waiting for Richie to come in, and when Richie opens the door instead of Big Dog or a pellet gun, I'll be there. (SURPRISE!!!) I really really can't wait to see the look on his face! He's gonna go nuts! (And if he doesn't then richie and i might have to have a little talk) Even more exciting, is that when I was on the phone with Chris, he said that there might even be a party to go to this weekend. Ha! I'll go to a RWU party yet! lol. (Every time I go up there are no parties :-P) So there, no one but Clint and Chris know I'm coming so no one can say let's not have a party because Jenna's coming. haha. Oh man, oh man, I can't wait for this weekend! It's gonna be sooo awesome. Just as another side note, I am a really good actress, if I do have to say so myself, I cried to Richie over Spring Break about how I would not be able to see him until May and how much that sucked! Also, if he thinks I'm getting to excited about something, I've already told him that I'm going to Tori's house this weekend, so that's my excuse for getting excited. (Because I won't have Sean this time to help me cover my tracks if he starts catchin on, and he def won't buy the whole I'm hyper from chocolate cake...sometimes i wonder how smart i am, yeah good job jenna, i'm extremelly and hyper about eating chocolate cake for lunch...nice job :-P) So, no one will actually see this until after I've surprised Richie on Thursday, but thanks to everyone who helped me out in my little scheme to surprise Richie (Clint and Chris). And to the people who knew about my surprising Richie and not telling him about it (Everyone at JMU, who wouldn't be able to tell him anyway, but still, My family, and Lauren!) Current Mood:  sneaky, excited, hyper... |
