I'm way too stressed out considering the fact that it's summer and I'm not actually doing anything at all. I'm working for my sister, who's an associate broker at DuVal Associates. She owns a bunch of rental properties so basically I just process rent checks as they come in, send out notices when tenants are late paying their rent, and then do ( Read more... )

"Hey Vanessa, this is Brett from Alabama. But oh I am drunk dialing you right now because I partied with your roommates tonight and they are pretty chill but I was gonna ask you, where are you at? They tell me that you're, like, back in the South and I'm so upset because you went back home before I did, and you didn't even schedule your flight at ( Read more... )

Had a fun weekend. Sarah came home from Duke again, and we got hammered (oops, I did it again) and stayed over at Jen's. Evan had a party and ran out of beer, and somehow this resulted in me crawling on my stomach to fit underneath the garage door of my sister's house (after giggling and confusing my name and my sister's name when trying to get a ( Read more... )

Party at Joey and Jake's last night where I got way more messed up than I meant to, since I'm seriously trying to stop drinking. But peppermint patty shots tricked me because they taste just like candy ( Read more... )

Cherry's getting married! And she's having a baby, so I'm going to be an aunt! The baby's due in February. I can't believe it... last year Cherry was going to frat parties with me and frat guys were all trying to get with her (if they only knew she was 34!), and now she's going to be a mom! It's crazy, but I'm really excited for her, and so ( Read more... )

A quick entry, because apparently Steve likes to read it even though I haven't really been doing anything interesting over the summer, other than relaxing and being a bum! I finally got a job, at Christmas Mouse. It's amazing how many people go shopping for Christmas ornaments in the middle of June. The other day a couple came in and sounded all ( Read more... )

An update just for Steve! Not that I've been doing anything interesting at all over the summer, I don't even have a job yet, and I've basically just been being a total bum. I've been going to the Sports Club a lot with Jen to lay out, and I've actually been working out lately. Even though working out and getting sweaty basically goes against ( Read more... )

I don't know why I always have such a hard time finding a job! I applied at several places today--Polo, Quilts Unlimited, the Coffee Beanery, and Haagen Daaz. I seriously just want any place to hire me. I'm not even going to be picky at this point. I just want to get a job so my parents don't freak out. I think tomorrow I'm going to go apply ( Read more... )

Golly it feels so good to be back in Virginia! I love everything Virginia! It's been beautiful and sunny and warm, and I just love being able to go to my old church and sleep in my own bed and everything ( Read more... )

I've never been so sad to leave Cornell! This has been a fabulous year. So many fabulous, random, sketchy, hilarious, sweet, and silly memories! So I'm going to steal Becky's idea and sum up the most notable parts of this year. Some highlights ( Read more... )
