Playing Ketchup

Hi.

So this post is obviously way past due. I miss you. I don’t know why I seem so busy. I don’t feel busy, but maybe my free time is just all at the wrong time. Even though I feel like I have way more night than last semester, they are not the ones you have so they are irrelevant as a result. I’m having a terrible case of senioritis. Last week I had an article due that I had plenty of time to write. I interviewed my subject on the Friday before it was due- Thursday at 6:10 pm. I started writing it Thursday at 5.

I’m torn though because I keep wishing classes would JUST GO FASTER, but then I take a step back and think, this is really the last time I’ll be here doing this. Listening to someone talk about their opinions to me for an hour twenty. I won’t get this chance again. And even in my nostalgic bouts I think, actually wait, these classes aren’t so special. I’m taking infant and child development which is actually really interesting despite how long the classes always seem to last. It’s also weird with Sabrina being pregnant and all. I keep finding out things that make me freak out because there’s an alien growing in my sister. IT’S SO WEIRD!!! I have some pictures on my phone actually maybe I’ll upload those so you can see them.

I took a stand against the man yesterday and left Kol Halayla one hour early to go and watch the Oscars with Shua and his family. I felt really guilty, but I’m glad I did it because I love the Oscars and even though it feels like a silly thing when you talk about it, it’s actually pretty important to me. I mean we didn’t have rehearsal during the superbowl AND Scott changed rehearsal for the game BEFORE the superbowl. The difference according to him? If he’d had rehearsal those days the boys wouldn’t have come. So I proved him wrong. I shouldn’t be punished for being a good member. Anyway I think it was alright but we’ll see at tonight’s board meeting.

I know you have a thing with Black and White movies but I really think you should see The Artist. It was actually really good and smart and funny and charming. I think it has something for everyone. Blew the other nominees out of the water, in my opinion.

STUFF THAT WOULD BE BAD IF CERTAIN PEOPLE SAW IT USED TO BE HERE. 

I think you’re mostly caught up now. How are things with you? Classes? Friends? Job stuff? Jen breakup stuff? Fill me in!

When you smile the whole world stops and stares for a while...

I'm listening to Boyce Ave version of that song which has been recently playing on the glee cast pandora station ( which im obsessed with i know for shame for shame) but it reminded me of you since you were so happy they did a dance to this version of it on sytycd. How are you? How is your face for I have not seen it in wayyy too long. If you are this busy now I hate to think of what will happen when the semester picks up more but either way once we get a set time down hopefully I can get to see you more consistently! yay.

Soo lets see on what I can update you on. I got upgraded to bronze level on the ballroom dance team so that was exciting. I dont think Im ready to compete at that level yet but I can join in on the bronze lessons during team practices so thats still exciting. This week is going to be super busy since the next week I have this cultural program thing my sister and I are doing a dance in on Saturday so thats all day Sat and then on sunday is RHA's leadership development day so Ill be busy with that from lik 6:30am (boo) so I reaaaallly should catch up on my work during the week so I wont die the week after. I also have a barcap dinner on wed this week at Stage Left (exciting! that place is super pricey so what better time to go then when I dont have to pay) but it means ill have to be late to ballroom club which I guess is fine since I know the basic steps they teach now anyways ( its so nice being a returner I actually helped a couple of nervous girls last week it was amazing). But thats pretty much it next week will be a blur and then maybe Ill have time to catch my breath but probably not. And with all this I actually though i would have time to join another club ( I breifly considered joining RU Toastmasters but it doesnt seem plausible now) ooh but I am taking a rec class for the first time Im taking bellydancing so looking forward to that too.

This entry came out a lot more positive then I intended so I guess thats good. What is happening in your life? How is your friend doing? ( i hope you know the one im referring to I forgot the name because im terrible like that) . Lets try to work out a time to see each other this week? I can come to you! But mornings usually work for me. If you want I can share my google calendar with you so you can find a time we are both free. let me know! Love you and miss you lots! <3

It's been a while...

It really has and for many of that time I didn't realize it was my turn to bowl (hah pun!) so here we are again. So the internship is officially over and it was very bittersweet leaving I must say which is a welcome change to both my other internships where I couldn't wait for them to be over and while I am looking forward to having these two weeks off I think I need to get used to not having work everyday as weird as that sounds. No wonder people never take vacation when they work.  But anyways as usual I've gotten overexicted when I have time off and made wayy too many plans for myself but I'm sure itll be fine/fun as long as I can stop being so lazy. How is your summer/internship(s) going? I can't believe its been a whole month since we've seen each other definitely one of the fastest months this year by far but then again we are already halfway through 2011 and I can hardly believe it.

And this whole RHA things is also kinda bleh because I keep finding things to do after the 22nd and being like oh wait..I have training.-_-. At least I'm not President then I would be reaaallly annoyed but either way the whole senioritis thing is already starting to kick in, meanwhile when I was in high school i was one of the few who never really got senioritis I worked hard in my APs till the end so maybe Ill only get it with RHA and not actually classes(well heres hoping anyways cant really afford to let my gpa tank senior year job or no job). Anyways why am I talking about such uninteresting things, cant wait to see you and the SYTYCD finale this Wed.! and also your new crib. Remember that show cribs? That was cool. Yeah. Ok then we can finish catching up when we see each other whoo!

Love/Miss you!

Catmandu

I know we often go months without posting in bowl, but it feels like it's been a while. I wish I was seeing you this week! But next week is pretty soon and it'll be so fun yay! I miss you!

Hopefully you aren't yet too disappointed by FlashForward. I never watched the last episode but I heard it was really good and thus frustrating since the show didn't get renewed. Bummer.

I didn't watch all of SYTYCD this week because of my STUPID DVR which cut out in the middle. I downloaded it but haven't gotten the chance to watch it yet. I mean I kinda got the chance but I really wanted to watch Battlestar Galactica before bed, not SYTYCD. I know who was voted off this week though and I'm getting a little peeved by this season. I'm sure we'll talk about it plenty next weekend.

JenEric's wedding was actually really fun. It turned out to not be too bad that I was the only one wearing a long dress (although Shaina was supposed to be also and walked in and said you're going to hate me but I'm not wearing long. so I said "I hate you" and walked out- which felt nice considering the serious influx of facebook messages from her leading up to the wedding.) But in any case a lot of people told my mom that I looked the nicest because I was wearing long and my hair was done nicely. Good Stuff. Also I knew about 90% of the people there between neighborhood, rutgers and eric's family- which led to some other stuff that I will tell you about when you are here (next week yay!)...

I can't wait to hear all about you work! Also I got a haircut and it looks nice and it's so light! I can put it in a ponytail with so little effort and it STAYS! I'm thrilled with it. Lucky for you (me) the cleaning ladies are coming this week so my prep work for them will preempt and eliminate the need for prep work for you. Also my toe is finally getting better. phew. Talk to SEE you soon!

Lorem Ipsum

Thats the title of default blog templates dunno why or what it means. I had actually written another entry on my iphone titled bubbly toes but it got deleted which was annoying. But in any case very sorry to hear about your toe that sounds quite awful and i hope it gets better very very soon! Toe problems are always annoying since you know you use your feet so much but Im sure it will get better soon. 

So Im watching this indian movie where the main charc goes back in time to like medival india and I must say it would be awesome to go back in time to that era because all the women seem to do( the royal ones anyways) is lay around all decked out in their womens quarters. Ok that was a sidetrack but anyways when your toe does get better do let me know and we will def schedule a dinner. Also July 8 is fast approaching (yay!) hopefully the weekend still works for you but I need to figure out logisitcs. What is your friday usually like? Because my two options are either coming to the city via the path or going back to harrison where my car is usually parked and then driving to queens. Id obviously rather go the public transport way but if driving ends up being easier then that is what I will do. I usually leave work around 5 on fridays so Ill plan according to that lemme know what you suggest.

So i started watching that show flashforward which you told me about a year and a half ago and I had on my laptop ever since then and its pretty good. Im about halfway through season 1 but i dont know whether its even still on air because its been a while since iv heard anything about it. But it brings me back to my heroes days so yea. Also the only show im actually keeping up with is sytycd and while I wasnt too heartbroken over anyone who went home (except Nick just because I thought he was really cute) I still dont think Ryan or Ricky are going to last very long. And I was surprised they decided to keep Ryan over Melissa ( well not like shocked just like oh weird)  because they kept saying she didnt do anything wrong.

So my last intern event was at this really upscale bowling alley in the city called lucky strikes and it was like a bowling alley/ bar/lounge and it reminded me of that place by your house thats an over 21 bowling alley. Ok so let me know about the 8th but enjoy your week otherwise! <3

Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

It's funny, because right before (or possibly a couple of days) it was on So You Think You Can Dance, I sang Ain't no Sunshine in a VYou response. So when I saw it on the show I was like WHAT. It was cool. But still, not a Ryan fan. I would've like her performance with a little more subtlety, but you already knew that because YOU FOLLOW MY BLOG. I officially put it in my bio section for VYou yesterday. Exciting.

So I was at internship number 2 yesterday, but I had to go run home to a podiatrist appointment. I don't know if I told you this, but my toe has a death wish. It's the second toe on my left foot. I stubbed probably two and a half three months ago, and I'm sure it hurt at the time, as such things do, but I guess it didn't really seem especially painful. Following that, there were some times that it hurt- not crazy, just noticeable. And it caused me to say "huh... my toes hurts... weird." At one point (since this was still at school) Tali suggested it might be an ingrown toenail. But it was pretty minor and I forgot about it. I remembered again when it starting hurting at home but then forgot again because we went to St. Louis.

A little while after that the pain got a tiny bit worse. Still not what I would call bad, but it went from barely noticeable ache, to recognizable pain I guess. So my mom made me go to the podiatrist. My regular one wasn't there, so I saw the other guy, who told me there was a small fracture, to which my reaction was "really? Huh... I can't believe there's actually something wrong with it." So I went on wrapping it in clingy stuff as instructed for about a week and a half. On the day of the Israeli Day Parade I walked a lot in sneakers, which the doctor had told me to wear (I spent the other days in sandals, obvs, but for the walking I thought doctors orders would probably a good idea).

The next morning I woke up at about 6:30 am in pain. Actual pain this time, which gave me a sneaking suspicion that it was not doing its part healing. I called the doctor and went in for an appointment that day. This time I got to see the right guy. He said there was (I'll bleep out the details for grossness reasons) ------ that was caused by walking in the sneakers and made my toe worse. He cleaned the ---------- and I bandaged and soaked the toe twice a day for a week.

The next week I came back and learned that the -------- was really cause by a -------- under the ----------. Part of the --------- came off and he took some off and said now it would heal. Then I went again last night. Did I mention I wait an hour every time I go? It was still not healing properly so he gave the toe Novocaine shots and took off the rest of the -----------. Now it's super gauzed and it hurts a lot when I walk/move it. Needless to say it's frustrating.

And that's why I couldn't do dinner. Don't think I can do Wed. either because I end at 3 and it might be ridiculous to stick around. But we'll see. Next monday, shock, I have another podiatrist appointment. However, after next week I think I'm going to switch my workdays so I'm in the city Monday and Tuesday and in NJ Wednesday and Thursday. I'll be in NB but maybe we can hang out on Wednesday nights anyway. Plus it'll be after THE WEDDING so I'll be able to breathe do stuff again. Hope to see you or maybe just gchat or skype soon!

there's no sunshine when youre gone

so in case you hadnt guessed that was one of my favorite dances of last week. I dont know why maybe it was because of the song choice or because im a fan of lyrical hip hop in general but that one really stuck with me and iv already watched it a bunch of times. I do get what youre saying about her smile being of the wrong variety though. Also i forget his name (Nick maybe) but Ivetta's partner for the quickstep was so freaking adorable so i love him now. That is all.

Speaking of SYTYCD, I met my senior mentor in my internship for the first time on friday, hes like in a high position in another dept so it was hard setting up a meeting with him but when we finally met we ended up getting along great and I told him I was on the ballroom dancing team at Rutgers and we ended up talking about sytycd because his wife and kids make him watch that show. And then afterwards he told me I had a great personality. Just more proof that tv leads people to success.

Im really glad your internship is going well, mines pretty swell right now too cept my junior mentor ( whos pretty much the one teaching me my job)'s wife is going to have a baby soon so once that happen iono what ill do but heres hoping ill be pro at everything by then. And either way everyone else in my dept is helpful so im sure i can manage somehow but still scary. I wish Ninja Jenna was a show so I could catch up on your life on a weekly basis and all you would have to do is be the star of it. I suggest you start getting a team toghether to make that happen. I'll be watching out for the promos on tv.

The bad part about working though is that I seem to have a nonexistent social life, as the only people I see nowadays that i dont work with are my parents and Ela because she lives around the block. I keep trying to make things happen on friday which ends up being a horrible idea since when friday rolls around all I want to do is sleep. But I love the idea of meeting you for dinner on a Monday, I normally get out of work around 5:30ish, where is your office? I'm sure we could work something out as seeing you soon is a must! Let me know..
<3

Don't forget me when I'm gone

I'm so glad you like the blog! So follow it dude! I'm not in the mood for a long post since I just did a super long recap of sytycd (see ninjajenna)...

I started the other internship yesterday. It seems really fun. Great people I learned a lot in the two hours that I was there and I can't wait for more. Sadly I'm missing it today, but I'll be back on monday. Which reminds me. What time do you get home? I was thinking since I finish at like 5 on monday up by school, maybe I can come to you for dinner on the way home.  Thoughts?

Hope your work is going well! See you soon!

Well now its raining

I love love LOVE Ninja Jenna! And the title art looks awesome the little ninja jenna is so cute and its the J and yea its great really. I will definitely be reading this regularly. I especially enjoyed the entry on so you think you can dance. Side note I found out one of my coworkers also watches that show so its nice having something fun to talk about with someone at work. Meanwhile I really need to catch up I have yet to watch the Vegas week episodes because working everyday doesnt really leave too much time for tv and iv been trying to get to bed early so I have more energy throughout the day and that also takes away from reading and tv watching time.
So I was orginially supposed to go down to rutgers this weekend mainly last night but I had had a busy week os networking and just working in general and whatnot and plus my mom was being super anti letting me go so I just gave in and stayed home. So much for planning fun things.
Meanwhile I know we still have time but Im going to have to figure out how I'm going to get to your house the weekend I come due to this whole jersey city thing. But Im sure theres a way it shall be done and I will figure that out when the time comes. Also I realized that Iv never actually invited you to my house besides the time you came so please do know that if you would like to you are more than welcome. I know its hard to play a time with the shabbos thing especially since it ends late now that its summer, but again where theres a will theres a way haha.
Hope you are having fun with work and being ninja jenna!

It's slightly less hot than a southern swamp outside

Well thanks very much I figured it out myself... no I didn't

My online friend Jenn figured it out in a 1am exhaustion stupor. My online (writing, not VYou) friends call me ninja jenna because i'm always on invisible. I thought it was cute and general therefore I don't need to worry about my content straying from my main topic. And it brought and cute Icon to mind, which I spent all day making believe it or not. So it's a work in progress needless to say, but without further ado...

My New Blog

I need to still play with the image, make the stars smaller and maybe the text bigger, but like I said... a work in progress.

Let me know what you think!
