Memorial Day Weekend in the North Country

So another week has gone by since my last post already! Time is going by so quick, and it is finally starting to feel like summer. This weekend I played some golf for the first time (not counting miniature golf :)). I actually wasn't as bad as I thought I was going to be and loved the game. I can't wait to golf again! I also played tennis on Sunday against my boyfriend which was a lot of fun. Neither of us are very good but we still like to play for fun. It was really windy outside though so, we didn't play for too long. After, we went home and played guitar hero with my brother. I can now play at a medium level and I am slowly improving my guitar hero skills. ;)

On Memorial Day my dad was in charge of introducing everything at the ceremony after the Memorial Day parade, so my family and I went to watch him in the morning. He did a good job, and spent the rest of the day packing for Argentina. He leaves today and I am so jealous! He said that it is suppose to be winter in Argentina when he is there though, so at least we will have warm weather up in Potsdam.

Yesterday evening I packed up my car and drove to Potsdam - I finally was able to move into my new apartment! I have a lot of unpacking to do today during my lunch break and all afternoon. I am hoping that everything is all set by the time I go to bed tonight. I really didn't bring too much stuff, just enough for summer. :) I have a lot of cleaning to do around the apartment and would like to plant some flowers to make the outside look nicer. It's looking like there might be a Wal-Mart run at some point tonight. I need groceries, because when I go home for my lunch break I am probably just going to be eating crackers.This is the first time that I have not lived in a dorm or with my parents so, it should be both interesting and exciting when it comes to cooking my own meals. I'm not going to lie, I am not known for being the greatest cook, but hopefully with some practice and good cook books I will make delicious food. I will let you know how it all turns out. TTYL. :)

Weekend!

After work on Friday I was able to go home and relax for the rest of the evening. I just watched tv and hung out with my family - nothing too exciting, but it was a long week and I needed some rest. On Saturday my boyfriend and I went to Watertown to go shopping and to go to dinner and a movie. It was a very fun day, I didn't buy too many things, which is probably a good thing. I love shopping and hadn't been in such a long time! After we were done shopping we went to Applebees and had a delicious dinner and then went to see the movie, Angels & Demons. The movie was really good, I thought that it was better than the Da Vinci Code and it had a really big twist towards the end. I won't give anything away in case you haven't seen it, but I recommend going to see it! I never read the book so it was a whole new experience for me but I heard that the movie didn't do the book justice. That is usually how those things go, The Harry Potter moves are definitely not as good as the books and my favorite movie ever, The Notebook still isn't as good as the book. My favorite book of all time is Where the Red Fern Grows, I read the book for the first time when I was in 4th grade and have probably read it ten times since. Every time I end up sobbing at the end of the book, it is so sad! I bought the book, Pride & Prejudice the other day and will probably start it sometime soon.
Enough rambling, on Sunday I went to Seneca Falls with my boyfriend and his family. I love it down there, the town is wonderful! We didn't do anything too exciting, but we did play the game Cranium - and I won! lol! When we got back we went to a friend's house and hung out there for a little bit. Then I went back to my house and watched Survivor with my brother. The finale was on and even though it was the only episode I had watched all season I got so into it! Then I went to bed and the weekend ended, work again Monday at 8 am.

Summer Vacation

This is my first blog post ever, so I am sure that they will get better over time. :) I finished my sophomore year at Clarkson almost 2 weeks ago and it is hard to believe that I will not see some of my friends until August. When you come to college your college friends really do become your family away from home, you eat with these people, live with them, study with them and just hang out with them! It is strange to leave this family at the end of the semester and then go back to your real family at home. A few of my friends are living at Clarkson this summer and I will be working here M-F so it will be nice to be able to see them. It is also nice to be home with my real family for a few weeks; I will be moving up to Potsdam, NY next weekend to live in an apartment with one of my friends from high school. That should be fun and I am looking forward to going to the beach in Hannawa Falls! Obviously the beach doesn't compare to a beach on the ocean but it will be nice to hang out there in the sun. Other than that I don't really have many plans for the summer, one of my friends and I are trying to get together to go to a concert. We went to Warped Tour last summer in Montreal and want to make going to a concert once a summer a tradition for us. I think that is it for now, talk soon. :)
