i feel so weird right now. i feel like i'm in between of two really big chapters in the book that is my life. everything is all topsy-turvey, and it's hard for me to stand on two feet. my marie came home from her adventures. she is the only thing in my life that remains constant. i think that tour did some really amazing things for her. i think that this summer, for both of us, we are growing so much stronger, and wiser. we are learning a lot of valuable lessons, and life is going to keep getting better and better.

i've been thinking about cameryn a lot lately. she used to be one of the biggest things in my life, and for the past few years, it's been different. i haven't even talked to her in over a year. i know that she still loves me, just the same. we'll find each other again soon. the signs are all pointing in her direction. i feel like the time we spent apart was time that i needed to spend with marie, and marie alone. but now, i think that soon i'll have my grounding libra force in my life again. she creates this amazing-happy-fun wonderland that only we know. it's unlike anything i've ever shared before. we met in bermuda, on a cruise. marie thinks she is a mermaid. i think she's right.

the true origins of snow
today in class, my unit was talking about how out of control australians are, and i started telling them about how jesse and i didn't believe in australia. after i got finished with the whole big long explaination (which i will save for another entry...), pete told us that he doesn't believe in snow, with the exception of siberia. he is convinced that siberia is the only place that it snows, and the chinese load up old wwii b-52 bombers with siberian snow, and dump it on the rest of the world. you know...the cold war... we all had a good laugh about that, and proceeded to make fun of frogs, and steve (because he is both stupid and a frog).

punky and the blonds
lisa was up visiting for a few days. it was so good to see her again. i've really missed her. monday afternoon, lisa, bridget and i went to the waterfall at minawaska. we were hoping to meet a group of cute boys with pot and sandwiches, on the way in. when we got to the bottom of the falls, four boys came riding past us. they kept on going. after a while, we headed back to the car. on the way back to new paltz, we stopped at a deli, and who happens to be there...the four boys we saw at the waterfall. we ended up inviting them back to my apartment to drink some beers. they didn't have any pot. i guess two out of three isn't bad. it turns out that they were from danbury, ct, and the one boy, ian (who is a tommy hillfiger model, thanx), grew up in westport. well, those of you who remember me in high school, will also remember that i used to hang out in westport all the time, with my girl cameryn. well, it turns out that cameryn used to work for his mom. i love when life does fun things like that.

harry
i finished reading the new harry potter this weekend. so good! i'm sad that i read it so fast, cuz now i have to wait forever for her to write another one. i won't say anything about it that will give anything away, for everyone out there that hasn't read it yet. i just can't believe how good these books are! there are so many little details that are so great. each year, as harry gets older, different things she talks about fit with harry age. a good example, in this one, harry is 14, and in there herbology class they have to squeeze the puss out of this plant, but it is totally like squeezing zits. the puss is used for really bad acne. there are so many different little things like that. there is one part of the book, when they first arive at the quidditch world cup, and she describes all of the tents set up in the camp ground. it reminded me of new year's, down in florida, at the phish show. i thought it was really cool.

boy, i've really been slacking with this. it's hard to find the time to play on the computer, when i'm in class all day. i miss marie. she's been on phish tour. tour is over now, so she should be home soon. i can't wait to hear all about it. i'm going down to jersey on friday. my wonderful friend stacy is driving up here to pick me up, cuz she loves me so much. i'm going home so that i can see josh one last time before he leaves for kauai. he fuckin' sucks! i am so sick of my roommates. they are collectively the devil. i get really sick of being woken up in the middle of the night by screaming drunken assholes. the cops have been to my apartment every night for the past three nights. the sick part about it is that my roommates are happy about that. they want to see how many consecutive nights they can gets cops to show up. there is something serriously wrong with that. i hate living here, and i don't know how much longer i can handle living with a bunch of imature losers. i am going to have such a big party on august 31, when they are gone!

the truth about archaeology
it's been a while since my last entry...it's so hard to keep up with things now that my class has started. my roommates are evil, so i don't like to use there computer anymore. i am deffinately psyched about them moving out! but enough about those assholes... archaeology is so much fun! i have been having the best time digging my hole! this is deffinately the biggest most perfectly sqaure hole i have ever dug. the past two days, we've been in the lab, which really blows, and we have to go back in the lab on monday. i don't think i can take it! never before did i ever think i would spend two full days scrubbing rocks with a toothbrush. you never see indiana jones scrubbing rocks. i was lied to! not once have i needed to use my whip.

no bridget! please no more sidewalk pants!
ok, so maybe, just maybe, sidewalk clothes aren't always fun. we found magots in the apartment. we think it might be for the pants we stole from the sidewalk. they were crawling out of the pants. so, that is how i spent my 4th of july. let me tell you, nothing beats cleaning up maggots to celebrate our nation's independence. i live in a shit hole. this summer rocks!
