So Much Ground To Cover

Ok so I haven't updated this piece in forever and so much has happened. The reason I haven't updated in so long is because life has been super crazy....when it rains it pours!!!! I am back at school for the first time in two weeks because I was home for spring break and then an extra week with a nice case of pneumonia. I actually left the apartment early the Friday before spring break because I was dying when my really bad head cold and lost voice turned into a respiratory infection....so much fun. So I spent the past two weeks living like a vegetable on my folk's couch. Much of the first week I was too sick or sleeping to care but the second week pretty much sucked. I really hate missing class/work so missing three days was a lot! Luckily I managed to rally by this past Friday and get back to work just for the day! So long story short my final spring break ever was not at all fabulous or glamorous...but I guess it's just lucky I didn't make any big vacation plans like I had contemplated doing in the fall.
Now that I am feeling better things are getting crazy because it's only a month till graduation and I still have so much left to do. Since I have been sick a lot this winter I missed a few days at my internship and now I have to catch up on hours which means for the next three weeks or so I'm going to have to work Fridays aka bye bye four day weeks =( Plus my classes and getting ugly and all the big stuff that is due is coming up real soon. Then there is the whole I will be a college graduate in a month and I don't have a job! I posted resumes online on two different sites and sent resumes to like 8 different places that are hiring but nothing has panned out yet. I actually got an interview three weeks ago for a hospital position in Philly, but I had to cancel it since I didn't think showing up on oxygen would look too good! I guess it that job wasn't meant to be obviously but not even getting to go on my first grown up interview cause I was sick kinda blows hardcore! So basically the job hunt continues....
In other news...I went to NYC yesterday with the family and faux family to see WICKED! I had already seen it in Philly with Janine but it was so fabulous I asked Mag to get me tickets again for Christmas! Our seats were so good and everyone else hadn't seen it and really loved it too! I honestly think it's the best thing on Broadway that I've seen and I've seen quite a few! After the show we went to dinner at Carmines which was fabulous as always. I also got to ride in a cab in NYC which I don't recall ever doing before unless I did it when I was really young so that was fun! I know a lot of people bitch about NYC being crowded and not being able to get around but I enjoy walking slow and just watching people so I think its fun, but even though I like it I would not want to live there....well that and I couldn't afford it. Everything in New York is like double what it costs in NJ....it's nuts!
In other random news today I rediscovered my love of Hawaiian punch! Mag bought me a pack of cans cause it was on sale to bring to school. I thought she was nuts at first for buying it but after drinking a can I have officially brought back my childhood love for it....lame but true.
I should get to bed cause I have a very long week ahead so I leave anyone eading this with a thought that I've been pondering all week. It is so easy to see someone else's flaws and yet so hard to see our own. After we hang out with people we are so quick to say something negative about them once they leave our presence, but do we ever really think about what they are saying about us??? I think everyone should take a few minutes to think about what they could be doing that annoys others and try to focus on being a better/less annoying person when they are around others. If everyone worked on ending just one of their own annoying habits/traits rather than bitching about other people's maybe we'd all get along a little better. I may not have worded the previous statement as well I would have if I wasn't dead tired but I think I got my point across.
