Oh Snap!

These are our PIMP cups that we made in celebration of Lil Wayne's release



The next few are from Wai-o-tapu (Maori for 'sacred waters')

Life of Adults

Now I finally understand the importance of Hump Day for the working class..

Hah. The funny thing is that is the only line I was able to type last week because of how busy and worn out I was. Let's fast forward to where I am now: lying with my feet propped up on the couch in my flat, sippin on a warm bedtime tea accompanied by a gingernut biscuit, listening to Cam play Tiki Taane "Always on my Mind" on his guitar, and trying to figure out my next move. I'm a bit ashamed to say, but I didn't do very well in the big bad world. Let's just say, Jill got laid off on Friday. I really don't want to get into details and backtrack, but it really did work out for the best. The flash fitness gym I was working for wasn't the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Heres a clip from the email I sent my mum:
______________________________________________________
Dear Mum,

Just wanted to shoot ya an email while i have a little time to breathe here at work. I'm glad I didn't talk to you after the first or second day because it was quite stressful learning everything new. Man oh man. It takes a lot of practice to be a sales lady. haha. I went through the phone book and did telemarketing calls, I've made up heaps of scripts, typed member emails, learned how to give the gym tour, learned about all the supplements: whey protein, bcaas, glutamine, etc., as well as tackled the whole computer system. Oh wait and learned how to take people through the fitness profile forms, contracts, learned all of the promotions and fee details, learned how to make supplement shakes, and how to laminate and sort the name badges. Quite a lot here. So please forgive me for not getting back to you. Its gettin AMAZINGLY easier and they are giving me a little slack now that I've completed most of the training! which is soooo good. And they lended me an automatic car at the moment to get to and from work. But the days are all at work. How do you do the hours 11-7 or around that. Theres almost no time for anything. Definitely understand how you feel now. How in the world do you do it. haha. Well i just wanted to fill you in real quick. Gotta get back to work here.
__________________________________________________

Well I was definitely in high spirits when I wrote that! I must have not wanted to mention the worst part of the job... TELEMARKETING. aka flipping through the A's and B's in the phone book and bothering the whole Waikato community during dinner and family hours to hook a membership. Way more awful than it sounds.

The worst bit of it, is that they were trying to offer me $300 for a 40 hr week. Which is pretty ridiculous if you think about all the stuff they have me doing. The minimum wage here is 12.75. So not only is that salary 42% below the minimum wage pay, but also illegal under the NZ labour board. Now I hope you understand my situation kids.

Anyways now that its all said and done, I'm on the job hunt again! This time I'm sprinting far from the sales area! haha and possibly the 40 hrs. I don't want to toss away the crayons and lollypops just yet. I wanna be young forever...don't you dare doubt me!

I'm also picking up the paddle sport.... drumroll... ROWING! Haha of course its after they just finished the World Rowing Champs in Hamilton last week! I'm actually super stoked to give it a go! Something new and different... oh wait thats all i've been doing: driving manual cars, testing out sales jobs, setting up a kiwi bank account, retrieving a library card, putting together a CV (british resume), etc.



Bring it on world!

Baby Baby It's a WILD World...

Hooray Hooray! I earned a job position as a sales marketer at Flex Fitness, an exclusive gym serving the athlete and business class of Te Rapa, New Zealand. Want to know the best thing about it? They are giving me a company car! There will be lots of exclamation points in this entry (just a warning). FINALLY something to look forward to! Also, approaching that time when I will be able to unload my 30kg duffel bag into a REAL set of drawers and wardrobe! It’s a hard concept to grasp at the moment. Jill Carlene Krawczewicz, waking up and slipping into professional attire, handing out my own business cards, and cruising in ‘play’ mode, maneuvering around a New Zealand town, putting my creative ideas into gear. You name it, corporate businesses, sporting events, universities, communities, I’ll be there! Haha. Definitely looking forward to it. My official FIRST day is November the 8th, exactly a week from today. Welcome chapter 22 of my life.

I also would like to back track to this past weekend and my Halloween adventures. Spent it up in Hamilton yet again because I had my first fully paid Creative Marketing Business seminar up that way for this job. It was like plopping back into a high school Espanol class. The discussions were a bit foreign to me, however very informative. There couldn’t have been a better time for that to occur. Definitely gave me some great ideas and the basic information to begin my holiday work career. Later on in the weekend, I sat in one of my friend’s netball scrimmage, went on a familiar run around the city, introduced proper beer pong to the Kiwi kids, made trays of festive purple jello shots with candy/lolly treats buried inside, and pranced around the bars in my cookie monster attire. It was an awesome weekend and I look forward to heading back up there for good in the next few days!



Anyhow, I should be bringing in some $ moolah soon and be able to tell you of more exciting adventures, since I’ll have the budget to explore!


Stay tuned until next time,

Flex Fitness Sales Marketer and Cookie Monster by night

Oh and P.s. I finished SEASON ONE and TWO of SKINS!!! Way too much time on my hands as you can see.
.

I GOT THE JOB!!!

... and possibly a car?!? haha I'll fill you all in later! MINT!

Watch out New Zealand... Jill's Driving

Okay so I found a way I can share my latest music CRAVES with you! At the end of my posts I will leave you all off with a video to spice up 3 minutes of your day! Ooo ahh exciting! I know. haha.

Anyways lets see here... what is new? what is new?

All I can think about at the moment is my job status. As you know, I applied for a job at a local gym in Hamilton as a club marketer and promoter! I know it sounds pretty boring aye, but the past two interviews I had there went GREAT! Anyways, I'm just trying to hold my ground until I hear back. Let's hope all goes well.

Other than that, life has been pretty wonderful. Don't even get me started on the unbelievable weather we have had here! Its SUMMERtime folks! hahah Yus! My first summer in winter and that means... my first Christmas BBQ, New Years Eve camp out, and January without snow. It's going to be strange, but I'm definitely looking forward to it here!

Lets see what else is new? I'm going to list off a few just for convinience purposes (pure laziness):

-Cam and I went on a hunt for Pumpkins around Rotorua. Came out slightly successful, I guess. haha. They're pumpkins are white and much smaller than the massive orange ones we have back home :(. Take a look! Mines is of New Zealand and the southern cross on the right.



-I also learned how to drive a manual car... on the LEFT side of the road! haha, 2 accomplishments in one.
-On one of the sunny days we had here in RotoVegas, Cam taught me how to throw a rugby ball and introduced me the drums. Still rest on the fact that I am musically challenged. hah. Obviously didn't receive any instrument comprehension from my dad. Thankkssss
-OOoo and I baked proper eggs benedict! Yum!

I'm sure much more has happened, but thats all I can get my hands on at the moment! Good Nite Folks!
xx

Enjoy the TUNES!




Song of the day: Holy Moly by Motocade

Where do you go- Sister Hazel lyrics

I'm not so sure anymore what's next
Or if there's anything left for us
What will we find inside of the wreck
Yeah we both know it's all just washed away

Where do you go and what do you do
All you have left is hanging on you
Where do you go and what do you do
When you lose everything you ever knew

Shine a light into it
Shoot a canon through it
Spill it all and hope you find a way to make it through it
'Cause down is up and up is down
And love lies dying all on the ground
You find a line that's in the sand and figure out who drew it...



Just gotta figure out my next step here!

Home-sickle

I'm getting my fist case of the home-sick illness here in New Zealand. Even though I am surrounded by love from awesome friends family, it still doesn't suit my comfort level. And I thought independence came easy in the States... well it’s a little more difficult when you don’t have your ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ phone life line. Getting a job, flat, car or bike, bank account, furniture, etc is not as simple as I thought. haha.

You get to a point after traveling a long time, when you become exhausted from assimilation and proper culture correction. Let me be me. Let me be an American, from the east coast, from little old Wilmington North Carolina or Annapolis Maryland. You crave those COMFORT places, foods, people, and routines. Not JANDALS or

SLIPPERS, they are called “flip flops” people!

Heres some more so that you can see what I mean:
NZ term _______________ USA
Lollies Candy
Boot/Bonnet Trunk and Hood of car
Tea Dinner
Biscuit Cookies
Capsicum Green/Red/Yellow Pepper
Trolley Shopping Cart
Fizzy Soda
Lemonade Sprite
Kumura Pumpkin
Jersey Sweatshirt
Plasters Bandaid

Well I hope you catch my drift now! That’s only a few of the tiny conversation changes I must make. It’s a bit irritating after awhile.
Hahah. I think I will live though. Just maybe. Haha.

Well let me backtrack… ‘what else is new in Jill’s life?’ Oh right. My job interview! It went really well. It was at brand new fitness facility in Hamilton, called ‘Flex Fitness’. I would fill the position as a sales and marketing consultant. The title doesn’t really do it justice though. What they are really looking for is a person who thinks creatively and is highly driven and self motivated. They need someone who would set up tents at sporting events, approach businesses, and thinks of new ways to promote their facility and gain memberships. I think I’ve got the creativity end of it, the rest would need some work though. Heres the website if you’re interested http://www.flexfitnessgym.co.nz/ .. And I’m still waiting to hear back from other jobs. So we’ll see what happens. I’ll need something soon here, before I go CraZy!

That’s pretty much all I can think of at the moment!

Take it easy yo,
Jilly

New Vino to add

Okay before I forgot here I want to add a new VINO to the list

Montana (New Zealand 2009) Riesling
If thats how you even spell it. Quite decent white wine. Very zesty. Definite kick.

But I'm just finishing up a Wednesday wine night in the old Hamilton town here. Was able to snag a computer and internet for a moment.

Love everyone! Miss yall,

Jill xxxx

Rotovegas-n' it

Hey There,
Life's been Grand here in Rotorua. Still hanging out until I get the job and flat business on way. 2 Job Apps down... who knows how many more to come.

I'd like to inform you, I've decided to take upon a new hobby... (drum roll please)
WINE tasting!

haha I'm definitely no connoisseur yet, however I will be one day.
Gotta start young aye. So if I have tried anything new, I will share my thoughts with you. Maybe even learn to create a tab for that if I get a chance.


Misson- MERLOT- Hawkes Bay, New Zealand: delicious! my favorite thus far. I was lucky

Selaks- MERLOT- Hawkes Bay, New Zealand: sweeter than Misson's version, still pretty decent for the price. haha and glad to say no hangover! Plus +

3 Stones- Shiraz- Southeast Australia: had a nice little tang to it. I'm not very familiar with the types of wine, yet, but this was a nice pick by Cameron! haha, went perfectly with my block of Dark Chocolate.

Okay, thats all folks! Don't wanna seem like too much of an alcoholic here.
To be fair, I'm taking it easy tonight on a warm cuppa chai tea. My stomach, Megan, (if u haven't met her noisy button yet) is very happy with my decision tonight. This afternoon she had such a tantrum. After my delicious bowl of creamy southwestern soup from Abracadabra, a cool exotic coffee/lunch bar in Rotorua, she wasn't too thrilled. Again, I would like to thank my mum and dad for that lactose-intolerance. haha. nevermind that I'm rambling on again. Just glad I survived that episode earlier. Recovery included: a meannn bubble bath, ginger beer (similar to ginger ale), yummy dinner by chef Cameron, and this chai tea I've got beside my computer here.

Just watching the New Zealand music awards with Cam, Anna, and Justin (Anna's bf) and kickin it. Tomorrow will be sweet-as! We're headed to Tauranga and 'The Mount' on the east coast to visit their Auntie visiting from AUS! Well, better go kids. Being anti-social again here!

Peace x

Chiquita Hat Wonderland

Once again, I must apologize for my absence on the blogging world. Man that sounds dorky. It’s hard to stay in tune across two countries, especially when suckering into my computer screen is always the last choice on my expeditions. I wouldn’t have any pictures or interesting topics to write about if I took that road. So this will be the last time I will say sorry kids.

So my travels up until have taken me across a good half of the US, up through the volcanic mountain ranges in the Hawaiian islands and back to the green rolling paddocks of New Zealand. Pretty good, aye! Hah, Life is awesome at the moment! No school, work, or rent to pay. However, as charming as that life sounds, it’s still missing the marshmallows in my bowl of Lucky Charms. I’m to that point where I’m eager to start working and being a semi-responsible young lady. Haha. To be fair, I have been piling up my CV (resume) and reference list. Spotted a few jobs here and there, and actually found a room to sublease until January! Its getting there folks. Yea yea.. the real world… blah blah haha.

Hey and I forgot to fill you in on my Hawaii adventures! The islands were beautiful. Maui and Oahu had their idealistic features and to tell you the truth, I would find it difficult to chose if it came down to it. I was surprised to see a lot of landscapes that seemed out of this world. I didn’t word that very well, did I? Just many of the coves and trails had an un-earthy feel, as if I was walking through valleys on mars or in a different universe. Especially, with the treacherous ‘ah-ah’ molten lava, giant swallowing tree vines, and infectious amounts of coral covering the coastlines. Not what you’d picture when traveling to Hawaii, huh? It was honestly really cool though.

The wedding I attended was gorgeous. Picture perfect. You name it. Loads of fun. The whole week proceeding the event was filled with extreme dance parties, an all day luau, evening cocktails on the beach, hula lessons, paddle and surf board sessions, one overly loved hotel room (more like a closet or cubby), and a last minute drive up the coast of the north shore. The food was as expected, average, and a bit overpriced, but I must not include the fruit in this downfall. Hawaii is like a Chinquita hat wonderland. The islands had any type of fruit, you name it: mangos, bananas, papaya, passion fruit, guava, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, necatarines, and don’t forget their infamous DOLE pineapple. Mmmmm… If I moved there I think I would start a fruit farm and simply vege off of that. Haha. Serious.
Anways I better help Cam cook tea (dinner) here. We have visitors today! My friend Jen Huber from the states just completed a semester in Australia is over here backpacking! So excited to see her! And off to Hamilton tonight to catch up with friends.

That’s all for now folks! Now quit reading and go out n enjoy your weekend!
Aloha, Jill

The Pacific Ocean: Maui's playground

It didn’t take long to get moving in Maui. Andrew and Stephen, two comical brothers from my homestay, kidnapped me and took me to the North Shore, where the wind and waves were choice. Within 24 hours, I had already invaded the ocean with surf and paddleboards. Later that afternoon, Andrew took me out past the miles of sugar cane fields to Twin Falls. There, we went on an incredible hike through the rainforest that led to a giant cave, natural pools, and a series of steep waterfalls (that we jumped off). The “forest,” as they call it, was like a free tropical farmer’s market. It didn’t take much more than a leap or some tree shake action to pluck fresh papaya, guava, apple bananas, passionfruit (lily coy), mangoes, or avocados from the sheltering branches. No kidding, this place really is paradise!


The next couple of days I spent weaving into the Davis family schedule. I accompanied Lisa in an intense hilly power walk with their two giant pawed dogs Ben and Bear (or black dog as they also call him) as well as lent a hand in daily errands. I tagged along and witnessed some insane downhill longboard racing with Andrew on the windy mountain roads. I caught a beautiful Saturday sunset overlooking the valley and captured a wide-eyed view of an infamous Hawaiian rainbow. Hal and Lisa (the parents) took me on a snorkeling adventure as well as a coastal tour of some of the most picturesque beaches. I also spent an hour or so creating a pastel masterpiece of the mountainside view of their island bungalow to later give them as a thank you gift.
I’m sure I’m missing a bunch here, however I’m going to have to get back to you all later, because the power just went out and I’m going to need to use the little bit of light from this laptop to lead me to bed.

Sweet Sugar Cane Dreams,
J.man

Mahalo!

9-16-10

All I can live and breathe is WOW. I’ve had a wild ride merely in the process of getting to my destination (which I still haven’t arrived at yet). Just picture me, currently sprawled out on Honolulu’s groovy groomed carpet waiting for my final flight of the day to Maui, just dreaming of the minute in which I can sprint into the Pacific Ocean and flop around like a five year old. And further on: surf, hike, learn to paddleboard, jump of cliffs, drink a mai tai, do whatever it takes to live like a local! I’ve had my ultimate roadtrip but now I’m keen to lay low for a while; in ONE place that is.

The past 30 or so hours Cam and I have been living and lugging our overstuffed suitcases, camping in airports, and weaving through the labyrinths of terminals. Last night we crashed in an overlooked wing of the Phoenix airport and were awoken on occasion to an industrial vacuum and the second to an army crawling bum that camouflaged himself in the shadows under the same set of benches we had set up camp. Creepy, I know. For the records, we moved not long after all the company.

This morning, I split up with Cam and hopped on an 8am flight to Honolulu, Hawaii. Mr. Hayes, on the other hand, ran off to Los Angeles to prepare for his long awaited flight home to New Zealand. So, I AM HERE…but not quite there exactly, if that makes any sense. Jailed in the airport for 30 more minutes awaiting my interisland flight. From then on, Lynn’s good friend Lisa will be picking me up and babysitting me for four days. Cannot wait! It is almost my human nature to stray from tourist attractions and destinations. As perfect sometimes works out; I’ll be spoiled from the start.

Anways, I want to talk about this one native I happened to bump into as I was minding my own business in the security line. He is known by the name ‘Easy Ed’. Full name of course is Edward Nordstrom. Not a name you come across very often, so I found it a cinch to remember. This man was a character I tell ya: referring back to past flight experiences and his retired life. Ironically, we were booked on the same flight, although he was going to use his corporate status to squeeze on an earlier one. By the time we arrived at gate 50, he had revealed his title as the unofficial ambassador of Maui as well as his love of herb. There on, explained that he is one of the only legal marijuana growers on the island. Interesting fellow, I tell ya. Bumping into Easy Ed was a great welcoming to the island; however I was relieved when they announced the final call to his VIP Maui departure. He left me his number on the island, a chocolate chip chewy bar, a copy of the local Maui newspaper, and finally two little sample baggies from his garden. Hahahah
The End. Good story eh?

Catch you in a bit,
Jill

road trip journals will be up sometime soon here... goin to continue onto Hawaii for now

South of the Border

8-24-2010

Current location: I-95 S, just crossed Pedroland; South of the Border, South Sweet Caroline State

So Let me map out the travels so far:
Picked cam up from camp>Maryland>Ocean City>Dewey Beach>Rehobeth Beach>Boston>Fort Lauderdale>Maryland>Cary, NC>Chapel Hill Frat Party with Ryan Slay> Wilmington (yes again)> and now off to the forests of South Carolina.


Sounds Like a lot, Aye? We’ll I think we’re off to a good start! Haha. I’ve already gone on about a few of the stops here, so let’s trek back to North Carolina. The first length with DORIS (our well worn in, maroon-interiored white Ford Explorer) began with a stop to my mom’s apartment in Cary, NC. We stayed there for a night and gathered our stuff together for the next month on the road. In all actuality, it will be the next 11 months! Seeing I’ll continue on west to Hawaii and then off to New Z’s! Damn I’m SO excited! Well from Cary we paid our first visit with Ryan (whisper) Slay, Cameron’s man crush from camp who attends UNC Chapel Hill. There we both had our first REAL frat experience. Unlike most American false portrayals of our culture, this experience was directly on target. Bulls eye! Haha. Blurred night of tallboy 4Locos (if you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, you’re going to have to get on that one of these nights), untucked polo shirts and Lilly apparel, and rooftop shoutouts. It also involved a phone call from a Wilmy friend who easily convinced me to pay one last Wrightsville Beach visit. We played around there for two days, partaking in a living room world series of cornhole tournament, ocean swims, and a late night sloppy joe fiesta at my brothers.

Which brings me to our location now: I-95 South! Sometime late last night we pulled out the Atlas and decided to get lost in the Forests of South Carolina. Cam’s geniusly random google searches point us to Sumter National Park, an area with over 15 waterfalls, ranging anywhere from 15-75ft in height. Jackpot! Along the way we took a few minor detours. First to Lumberton National Park, a cool little abandoned farm hideaway just off route 17. Our second stop was easily triggered by the 100s of billboards advertizing fireworks, Mexican hats, mini golf, and Pedro’s sexy hat collection. Can you guess by now? South of the Border! Haha, enough said through the pictures I will post here! Anyways we left with a few bumper stickers and a handful of sparklers and roman candles. Anyways, better get back to navigating to this gold mine! Catch ya later!

PEACE,
Jill

One Fish. Two Fish. READY fish. Grab your Shoes fish.

So I've taken off. Bye Wilmington. Cya Later Omega. Peace out Kohls. Wrightsville Beach kids: you better stay in touch with me now!


I'm currently relaxin in this salty little beach bungalo in Fort Lauderdale. So far my adventures have dragged me from the wild coast of North Carolina, up to the sweet sunsets of the Chesapeake Bay, and then on to the gum littered, graffiti boardwalks of OBESE-City, Maryland. From there I zig-zagged up to Boston to pay visit to my good friends' Kerry and Danimal.


Which brings me to my current GPS position: 5520 26th NE Avenue, Fort Lauderdale- FLO RIDA! Haha, man don't even want to get into details about the address. Let me just throw some advice out there, if you ever do intend to come here. AVOID TAXIs. They are ridiculous. Don't know how they passed their drivers test? You know, maybe they never did. haha. Anyways tonights our last night in this killer town after a week with some Incredible International kids in these crazy pimped out mansions.

Serious! It was almost like REAL WORLD: FT. LAUDY. 25 wild kids from all over the world (all from camerons camp Iriquois Springs), lots of beach/lazy days in the rooftop spa, pools, and enough alcohol and drama to go around.

Mad cool though! I really don't want to spend my time here typing on this bloody computer. Bout to take a walk, before I have to depart tomorrow morning and head on back to Maryland. Yup. then off to New Jersey, DC?





Haha.. seriously wherever the wind blows me!
Until later,

Jill Kraz

JUNE!!

Tomorrow is June FIRST, aka a very special plane flys across the Pacific Ocean. Cam rolls into the JFK airport at 5:15pm tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think im excited enough! Mannnnnn its so unreal to think about. 6 months and 9 days later I get to see him! And to think he's never met a single one of my family members or friends! Damn, I guess that is what happens when you fall in love with someone located a continent away! May I also add a roughly $2 grand plane ticket across the atlantic... Just a bit ridiculus. I'm tellin you all, I'm going to learn how to drive a magic carpet here soon!

Other than that, It was my step mother, Lynn's, birthday so we hung out around town all day: swam, kayaked, drank margaritas, and played outside on the mint day! Got rewired on all of the family gossip and drama and really could tell you I'm already set to head back down to wilmy. haha with Cameron of course, buttttt life down there holds all of my friends, activities, jobs, and its hard trekkin back up here to sleep on the pullout couch and hang around with my "non-existent" bundle of friends still here!

haha what do i know! I dont even care at the moment! Cam in less than 18 hours! yus yus yus! Could Anyone in this whole world be happier at the moment??? Nah, don't think it's possible!

:D

xxxxxxxxxxx

Coda... to a New Beginning!

Aright I’m not really “speechless”. You know I always have something to say! That would be kinda ridiculous. I am confused at what it’s going to feel like not having papers and exams, or waking up and skating to my classes, or being called an ALUMNI? To be honest, I really just want to shout off Kerry’s porch here down at Wrightsville beach! Last night was amazing! Completely overwhelming… but in a GOOD way. We can make overwhelming a good word right? Haha, the combination of Red Stripes, Ginny Light, a few games of Hockey (drinking game), mexican-in it in a pick up truck for that free ride, endless supply of beer, drunk plan making that no one ever remembers, hot dogs at 2am, unnecessary comments (cough…Ari) haha, endless hugs, dancing, phony pick up lines, sloppy texts, and the long breezy walk home (well to one of my many beach homes)! Kerry’s last night! That was probably the last of those for awhile. The nights when the bars are filled with your entire FAMILY! No signs of tourists, JERSEY shore kids (no offense), intense lines, and unbearable heat just yet! I really don’t know if I should be talking about all of this in my blog. But hey, you want my life… here it is! Right now im rocking back n forth on Miss Calnan’s porch just about looking over the ocean. I say that because theres a chance here if I stand on the railing that I may catch a sliver of the marble water. I still catch the breeze, that salt smell and warm morning stickiness streaming from the sun just above the horizon! Whats on my mind here? Well first of all, how I can prevent this oncoming hangover. Haha. Also trying to trace recollections and possibly breakfast dates scheduled last night! Believe me, I’m sure I did, knowing Jill. Blocking out the idea of work later on today at Omega at all costs. Next subject, plans for leaving tonight in the direction of Wilkesboro, NC to catch an early start on Merlefest (all day folk/blue grass/indie festival with 8 stages and over 20 artists) SUNDAY!!! The Avett Brothers my highlights! Cannot wait. Even the roadtrip will be mean!! Even looking further… MY WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY and FRIENDS are heading my way here! Yes to WILMINGTON THURSDAY! In less than a week to see me graduate and celebrate!!! If I wasn’t thinking of sparing your attention, I would hold the exclamation mark key on this one! AND CAMERON ANDREW HAYES will be in AMERICA in less than 30 days! 4 weeks! Now those are things to look forward to! Can I say Fuck? Haha Fuck Yea!!! I’m so excited! Stoked! Thrilled! Well what am I doing here? I just realized its just about 10am and I have to get moving here! Loving Life at the moment and never want this all to end!

I'm DONE.. UNI/COLLEGE, whatever u wanna call it!

SPEECHLESS!

Where does the wisdom go?!

Wisdom teeth out today! Not cool. Not cool. I guess I'll be watching a lot of the olympics! hah. Feel like I'm about to throw up here! Great, Just Lovely! Bumming it in Maryland on my parents' couch til I recover! Be back in Wilmy soon I hope!

xxxxxo

Superbowl Snooperbowl

Hahah so this is probably the first year I could care less about getting off the schedule at Omega, and preppin for the big game. Its the take down between the Saints and the Colts. Well I guess it gives me an excuse to test out my first batch of chili n cornbread from my cookbook. If you were curious...The turkey chili was dank (more than delicious!).

And I've successfully avoided any type of school work and studying on this recovery Sunday...
Instead, I voluntarily kept myself busy attempting to quiet the noisy birds in my house, cooking, cleaning, completing a large load of laundry, skating outside my house, and catching up with my folks who received over 50 inches of snow at home. InSAneee... Can't imagine being snowed in here in the Dubtown! But ayee it could happen. one day!

Oo and had time for a little run the other day on the beach, but almost instantly turned into a stroll, because I easily discovered HUNDREDS of full size conch shells, perfectly in tact. And for those who know me, you know how easily distracted I get with this kind of stuff! Just picture jill... "hands and elbows" full of shells. Felt like so much of a bandit (stealing the seas treasures and all) that i had to lay them down and use the process of elimination to lighten the load. I'm serious yo!

Well considering is 6:17 and I should decide to sneak in a little work or pack up this chili and head over to Bretts apartment, I should go! Later kids!

Goooooooooo TEAM!
haha
