It has literally been a month

So it's been one whole month since I last updated this blog ... completely unacceptable.

So this past month what have i done?

babysat every day - went on about 5 interviews - got a job offer - declined the job offer - didn't get any other offers - completed my senior seminar presentation - made a flower pot in ceramics - ruined said flower pot because im a moron - saw ludacris live - stayed up all night - finished classes - got decent grades - refused to pay parking tickets at school - school is now withholding my diploma - graduated - almost thought I was missing a class (thanks black board) - raged in AC with the pechin pack - lost my shoes - foot bled - stopped by security guard because foot was bleeding - and then had 100 of my closest family and friends over for a joint graduation party with my brother yesterday.

that about sums it up. But i think i have to go into some more details about this weekend.

My brosef- see what i did there... combined brother and joseph, my brother pat had 5 friends come visit philadelphia, 4 were from germany and had never been so we went out in center city. After excessive amount of beer and vodka, we headed to south street for bob and barbaras. THE SPECIALS THERE ARE INCREDIBLE! IF YOUVE NEVER BEEN ITS a GREAT dive bar but its super crowded with no space anywhere to function. But they have a 3 dollar special (YES EVEN ON FRIDAYS) for PBR and a shot of whiskey. so obvi i got drunk and kept buying them for people.

Well instead of going home, which would have been the smart thing to do, we decide with 20 minutes left until the bars close to head over to drinkers, because u can get a 40oz there for cheap. boarder line blacked out, we lose one of the germans, but its okay because he was "on 15th street" unable to find a cross street or anyone who could help him. So jim rolls up in the suburban, and 9 of us pile in, wrecked, searching the streets for Roman.

Saturday night we went to my house in manayunk (which is soon to be over :( no more lease) and rage at kildares and cuddy's. another great night, where we ended up at main street munchies hoovering cheese steaks and fries- where we discovered the future president of the united states, pat's thesis partner. Proceeded home to watch Land of the Lost and I fell asleep sititng up clutching a stuffed animal. classy.

So sunday was the party, soo much fun, so many people showed up and we had a really great time. Some people swam, i proceeded to keep a steady buzz the entire time and rub elbows with cousins and family i hadn't seen in ages. I love when the Thornton's get together, its always hilarious.

Since I am currently unemployed, when I was asked what the next step was, I joked that I was currently working as a single mother (babysitting) and that I would be moving in with my new room mates Jim and Cheryl (my parents) but it was great cause I met them on craigslist and utilities were included in the cheap rent. :D probably used that joke more than dane cook uses his growing up catholic joke.. but i think it killed.

Welp. today i dropped my cousin off at my grandparents retirement home. That place is LEGIT. not only do they have bangin' food, BUT they live in a building with ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS. ITS LIKE COLLEGE.. BUT BETTER, cause you dont have to go to class or wake up early and you can have pets! talk about living the DREAM.

i love them so much too, my grandma just bought an Apple computer... thats right my 83 year old grandmother is using mac's.... shes amazing!

Thats all for now!

tiger beats tonight with my fam! Larry, Jim, Nicole (pat has to be in DC tomorrow so he can't come) and jo percy and corey and anyone else who wants to come!

Thats all for now... I want to rip off Philip DeFranco's vlog and start asking a question of the day or something to get people commenting and talking... any suggestions on something similar to that? For now i'll ask quesitons:

Question of the dia:
Do you Gleek?
