I've been wanting to update this for days, but really did not feel like I had enough time with all the traveling, getting settled, going to the grocery store a millions times, etc. My new laptop was ordered today. I CAN'T WAIT. I've held onto my iBook G4 for 4.5 years, and will be getting the new Macbook (yeah... the pretty silver one... with a camera... and lots of hard drive space... oh man I'm tingling just thinking about it......).
Florida is okay. The beach is really pretty and comforting. The bad thing is there are SO MANY PEOPLE. And, not just any kind of people, but a mix of snotty old farts, snotty people in general (people are so rude out here! They act like they are entitled to act this way because it's their vacation spot. Well, you know what? It's mine too! So, fuck you!) foreigners (I rarely hear English. It's Russian, Spanish, or something else I can't even recognize), and people that have just let themselves go (aka really fat, sloppy looking, etc.). I don't think I've seen any attractive people. It's kind of a disappointment. And, I'm afraid if I go down to South Beach it will be douchebag central.
On a lighter note, I am thinking (and hoping) that the majority of these people will be leaving after this holiday season. I don't mind just the old people that live here. I usually make small talk or secretly giggle to myself when I see them wearing Member's Only jackets or other brands that I see at the thrift store all the time.
I am really really really really really hoping I can schedule a trip to visit Rachel Solomon in Hawaii. I hope I can make it out there sometime in February. In that case, I will have to rename this blog! Not really, but wouldn't that be SO AWESOME?!?!? I found tickets for $615-$640 and above for a round trip!!!
I'll try to take some pictures and put them on here so you get an idea of what it looks like here. It's very tranquil sitting on the beach. I do really enjoy it. However, it's been in the 60s lately, so I haven't had more than a day of enjoying the sun.
New Years Eve to New Years was also okay. Not nearly comparable to what my family (extended and all) usually does. January 1 is my mom's birthday, so we usually have a huge dinner at my aunt's house, watch the ball drop, and open presents. We all buy presents for each other, and really good ones too. This year, my mom and aunt had to work, and we officially got the condo in Florida in order, so we decided to have Babulya (my grandma), Amy, her boyfriend Andrew, my cousin Nicole, and myself down in Florida for our mini New Years. I liked it. We made a tasty dinner. I thought our little party was nice, but obviously could not be as good as the big family party. It's like how each family has their own holiday that they all really love. For some it's Christmas, or a birthday, or Hanukah, or whatever. But for us, it's New Years. I felt a little sad after talking to my sister and how she was missing everyone. At this point though, I think I have just been feeling numb because of all the emotions I've gone through in the last month. It's hard to move a million times, say goodbye to people I have spent years with, and then plan for my future. Like really! I've got to start figuring out where I'll be living for nursing school, and I know it is not an easy process.
Anyway, that's about enough for now. I think Nikki and I might go to downtown Miami tonight.
