K For McAllister

I feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water so let’s review how we got to this point.

• Winter and Spring Quarters were extremely difficult i.e. Organic Chemistry
• SO many rejections, I approached every professor in the Chemistry department and I guess it just wasn’t meant to be
• Applied to a Biology internship and a few others online which didn’t pan out
• Turned down my awesome summer beach position to sit inside the SU pool
• Broke up with David
• Lost track of morality for a bit 
• Fired from a job
• Broke
• Essentially written out of my lease
• Being played like a fiddle as we speak
• Broke up with a best friend
• Probably not going back to Vegas until December, so it will be a full year since being home
• Mono
• No idea where I’m living come September

I literally cannot even say “At least I have my health” because I feel like I’m dying.

Is there time to turn this around? I just can’t even believe how quickly things changed for me. I suppose you could call this a transitional period in my life. I guess there are probably some good things?

• New(ish) Car
• Finally off of antidepressants
• Passed OChem
• Single
• 21
• Stella’s still here
• New friends

Strugglessss. This is rough.

Ugh I am getting so lazy! Spent most of the day was spent doing whatever I felt like, which was sitting around with housemates watching Nickelodeon and playing with Stella. But it was her birthday so she got so many treats! Then I got ready and went to Michelle’s house for a graduation dinner. She lives in Edmonds so that was a half hour each way, but good practice for driving. Her mom is such a good cook! They had really tasty desserts too: Lemon Meringue pie and Strawberry Shortcakes! Yum.

After I got home, David came over and we hung out for a bit.  Then sleepy times.

So David has been trying to get rid of his big TV so we spent all day trying to move it out of his apartment, into my car, and then into my house. That took so much freaking work though! UGH I was so freaking sore that night/next day.  

After Arby’s I took David home and ended up going out with Jacqui to Craig and Brian’s house for some drinking fun times. We played a lot of pong and Craig is a pretty good “bartender”. So that was fun, there was even a dog named Gatsby there!

Work in the morning! 

Gym in the afternoon!

Back to work!

And then I went over to David’s to help him pack. We also made some tasty tacos and had some Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked ice cream! Yumyum. 

Ew, going to work on a wine hangover is the worst! Ugh.  But I guess I made it through the day alright. 

Hmmm… and then I suppose I went to the beach and got my tan on. And once home I took the LONGEST nap ever! That’s about it.

More worky work.  

Drive Evelynn to work at Anthropologie.

Stop by Village Autorepair and they were so nice!  I just needed a new headlight but they looked at my tires and inflated all of them for me. 

Back to work. 

And then went over to Jacqui’s to plan out some 21 run details and drink a liter of wine between the two of us! Good times. 

Work work work.  7 am to 1:30 I think? so there’s that…

I just remembered what I did this day!

I also took apart my car door to find the alarm system and I was able to disable it and correctly reassemble my door. I’m getting really good at being a mechanic. 

David came over after work and we went to an Albertson’s on Mercer Island and picked up a variety 12 pack of beer and then a Freschetta frozen pizza (MY FAV!).  Back to my house to watch The Woman in Black the one with Daniel Radcliffe. It was mildly predictable. Mreh. And I think that’s it!

Today is a sick day so I will spend some of it updating this tumblr that I have fallen so behind on! Meep!

Sooo on this day Amanda and I woke up (late I might add!) after Christopher came home from his physical exam for the SPD. We were pretty hungry and they wanted to go get some seafood down by pike so we drove downtown but everything was so cray cray because of pride parade. But it was fun to see!

I am quite the photog.

We went to some crab place on the waterfront which was tasty. I never knew that Seattle had a waterfront arcade.  It’s small but quaint, and they sell cotton candy so I’m not complaining. This also happens to be the location of the new Ferris wheel!  

So excited to take a ride on it!

So after that I went and worked out at the gym and stuff. 

Earlier that day I had some car issues and the car wouldn’t start. So Trevor came over and we did some mechanicy stuff (well mostly he did) and we managed to fix the car! Yay! I don’t think I did much else that day but go to sleep. 

Wake up for work at 12, very relaxing 2 hour shift. 

Home, and then out to sushi downtown at Ohana’s with my cousin and his girlfriend. Yumyum

Half baked roll

Firecracker

After sushi we all went home for a quick nap and then we went out to Piecora’s for a payperview event of the UFC fight, Wanderlei Silva vs. Rich Franklin.  Chris kept rooting for Wanderlei since he’s met him several times and trains at his gym, but unfortunately Wanderlei lost. That’s too bad, but the fight was fun to watch!

After the fight went home, baked some banana bread, and read my kindle until it died. :(

Hmmm so I guess I slept in on this day, but only long enough to pay back my sleep debt.  Around 2 David and I went to the DMV to register my car and then to the Columbia Tower to get a parking permit so I can park in front of my house.  Back home to cook some lunch for both of us and then off to work where I met this handsome fellow

After work I had to do a lot of errands, i.e. scrub my bathroom, wash my sheets, and just clean my room so my cousin and his girlfriend have a clean place to stay.  But I did that so fast, and then there was nothing left to do! So, Andy and I went out to the Elysian for some Steak Frites, which were actually pretty good!  

And finally headed home with perfect timing because that’s when my cousin and his girlfriend got there!
