And she said...

I get direct deposit with U.S. Trust!!! I know I'm a total asshole for even posting that but it gets me excited! I have an appointment to work out the payment issues tomorrow during lunch. Exciting!

California needs to be here right now.

Finals suuuuuuuuck. I hate the Stern curve.

We have a fucking mouse in this dirty ass apartment. AHHHH, but I move out Sunday so it's all good!

I couldn't resist myself!

So as I was walking to the subway on 28th Street I passed something. There was a man, lying on the sidewalk. Just lying there. There was a police man standing over him writing up a report. Was he dead, drunk, or sleeping? I'll never know. I calmly crossed the street and continued on my way without looking back.

The thing that bothers me about this is that I completely forgot about it. You would think that would be like my story that I told everyone that day. No. The only one I told that day was Sal. I told Brian a day later, and forgot to mention it to anyone else.

Have I become that jaded of a New Yorker that seeing people lying on the street has absolutely no effect on me?

I GOT A JOB! I am so excited that I am going to be earning money again. Money that I get to keep and use by myself. SQUEE

Interview #1: Financial Decisions, 260 Madison Avenue
After Management & Organizational Analysis at 10:45 I went to the bank on Broadway and made my way to the Astor Place Subway. Took the 6 train to Grand Central, went the wrong direction at first and found my way to 260 Madison Avenue. It's a gorgeous building with a security guy in the waiting area and lots of elevators. I make my way up to the 17th floor, fill out a stupid employee application and have my sit down interview. Things were going well, she said I had to take an excel and word test. They gave two scenario's where I had to draft a letter to a client explaining things that I had no idea about. The second was an excel sheet where I was given data and asked to organize it in a way that it made sense and do some subtotals. Really basic stuff. After my "test" she offered me the position! It's mainly administrative, I basically have to cater to this woman's needs and also take care of office tasks. Over time I will be getting some projects to work on, and some days I will be working with excel so it's pretty exciting (for me). I finished that interview and made my way to the 1 train, took that to Christopher Street & Sheridan Square for my second interview.

Interview #2: Diane Von Furstenberg, 389 W 12th Street
After walking a while from the subway I walked all the way to the West Side, saw the water and made my way to the "office". I walked into the boutique foolishly, where you have to be let in by a sales associate (um, wtf?). I found where I was scheduled to be... walk in and there's A POOL in the middle of the floor, a garment bag with a COSMOPOLITAN logo on it. There were fashion designers puttings clothes into suitcases ready to be shipped. There was a meeting with a bunch of ladies deciding which prada and gucci clothes to use in their photo shoot. There was a big studio where they were setting the backdrop to a photo shoot. All this time I was like OMFG I could work in a place like this! How Manhattan! This is what all the chick lit novels are about, suburban girls coming to NYC and getting these dream jobs!

The interview itself was stupid. Two accountants basically had a casual convo with me. Everyone in that office was wearing high heals, a dress, and a ton a makeup. I would have been sooo out of place. I wanted that job... but it was out of my way and in the end it comes down to MONEY.

12/hr vs. 7/hr.... can you guess what I picked. I will have my beautiful midtown job on Madison Avenue. It is the start of something good. Hopefully my relationship with amazing offices in Midtown is just beginning, and I will own a floor of some building someday! Yay for aspiring to be an investment banker in Manhattan.

I've officially been oriented at NYU. On Monday I went into the city - after successfully navigating my way from Grand Central to Washington Square, a feat I have never done before. Once I arrived I had a bit of time so I went to talk to my favorite people there, the financial aid office. I then made my way to the bookstore where I bought two books (for $200) that I couldn't find online. I stupidly carried them around all day - bad move. After the bookstore I went to orientation, sat in the Kaufman center which is quite nice. All 150 successful transfers were there, we got welcomed by both Deans of Stern and blah blah blah. After that I decided that orientation was overrated - after taking advantage of the free food and messenger bag of course. I had a few errands to run.

I made my way to a building by Union Square. I was feeling awesome. I had my starbucks, my ipod, and I was being independent and finding my way around NYC. I've never been to NYC by myself before so this was exciting. I had to wait on a two hour line to get my NYU ID card but I had to do it. After that I had missed all the other scheduled Stern orientation activities so I decided to check out my dorm. I took the subway from Union to 23rd & Park, found 26th street and walked to 26th and 1st. I passed a Ray's pizza which was very exciting. The walk along 26th was a bit sketchy. There are some crappy apartment buildings with home boys sitting outside. I finally made it to my dorm. After being yelled at by the security guard I checked in, got my keys and took the elevator to the 24th floor.

I was unable to work my key, so my roomie opened the door. Her name is Jessica and she seems really nice. She's a Jersey girl whose 21... turning 22 in January. So half of my quad is over 21... kinda weird. The room itself is so fucking small. There's a tiny walkway, a "dining area" which holds a table for two, a stove and oven, and a fridge (not a big one, but not a small one either). In the rooms the beds were unbunked which means there like no walking space. The view is awesome, I can see the east river and some buildings. I don't get a set a drawers, but I get a tiny ass closet and a pretty big desk.

All in all I am unhappy with 26th Street.

I am going to be a sore in their asses for a while though. They said I can't do anything about it until the 16th of september. They did offer me the choice to cancel my housing with my $1000 refund. I have to decide by Friday 5pm to commute all year or to take a chance with 26th Street and hope that I can transfer.

I don't know what I'm going to do. NYU's red tape is really starting to get to me. There's nothing I can do about it though. I have been having trouble with loans/financial aid since I've been accepted. They have threatened to close me out of my classes by 5pm tomorrow if I don't pay them $2,000. It would be so much better if I didn't go to college. I would be a much calmer person.

I wish I could drop out. But if I did that then I couldn't say that I'm a Stern graduate. I'm just after a name - it's sad.

I'm sore from my three fillings in my lower left mouth. Katie threw up at the dentist office. I watched 4 episodes of Alias today. I don't want school to start.

To any NYUers who are reading this... if you know of anyone in your dorm who is unhappy or if there is a space available in a room let me know. My chances are increased if I can find someone to switch with me personally.

.ciao.

Today marks my last day at the Building & Realty Institute. Here's to never being a secretary again, & never working for builders/realtors. I feel like making a list, so here goes.

Things that make Angela happy:
Last day of work
Buying Sex & the City Season 2 off ebay for $17.00!!
Being tan from Ocean City, NEW FUCKING JERSEY!
Watching Harold & Kumar go to White Castle with Brian
Having Brian in the same time zone (until Saturday)
Having dinner with Amanda, Ciara & Sarah
Eating Cookies and Cream ice cream out of a Chocolate Chip Cookie cone!
Buying an amazing T-shirt bra from vicki's
I will be going to visit the Ruggiero's next week (maybe I'll sleep over and it'll be like old times!)

Things that make Angela sad:
People have already left for college
I won't be bringing home a paycheck anymore
Brian leaves Saturday
Cuz leaves a week from today
My family goes into the city w/o me to scope out my dorm before I see it

I think I'll stop there. I had a frekin blast doing absolutely, nothing in Ocean City while getting a hot tan in the process. Summer is winding down for everyone but me because school doesn't start until Sept.6, which I am fine with.

I've decided after the 2 week room freeze period I am going to apply for a room change at NYU. I really want to be closer to Wash Square so I don't have to rely on a shuttle to get me places. Being closer to a subway would also be nice. Downtown kicks ass and I need to be there. I think things may have been different if I would have done the room switch at GW so I have to be balls nasty and go for it this time. If I write on here that I decide to stay at 26th, don't let me... okay.

The jews are getting crazy in Gaza. I was watching CNN and they are pulling people one by one from Synagogue's there. It is insane, and sometimes we all have to be thankful that we live in America and not in a place like that.

Well I should get back to doing nothing for work. Catch-22 is going slowly, but it's going. It's getting much more enjoyable I must say. I really want to finish so I can read Something Blue - hooray for chick lit! Ciao

*Ang

Getting a manicure during your lunch hour may just be the best thing I've done all summer. I don't really know why - but it was awesome. All in preparation for the Jersey Shore on Saturday. I am excited to tan and read books and watch my Sex & the City Season 1 DVDs. Life is going to be good for the next week.

I got my room assignment for NYU. I am on 26th street between 1st and 2nd avenues. It's kinda far from main campus (about a 25 minute walk) but there's a shuttle. Oh how I love shuttles. It's not too close to a subway either which kinda sucks. I do have a roommate though, and 2 other suite mates. I get a kitchen, dining area (with chairs), and a bathroom. I hear the rooms are smaller than most and I'll prob. have to bunk beds but whatever. I am going to be positive and excited. I've already contacted one of my suitemates (from LA) and she seems nice. I can't let this go wrong again.

That is my random update for the next few days. I just ate pizza and am feeling a bit nauseous. Oh and I got 2 more cavities filled. I just have to look forward to 7 more fillings, root canal, & wisdom teeth extraction. I love pain.

*Angela*

P.S. I'm scared to go to NYU

Alias and The O.C. are going to be in the same time slot next season. Thursday at 8pm.
Why are they doing this to me?

By the way, I want my MBA from NYU Stern too because starting salary for graduates is $110,000 on average. That's after an undergrad degree and on average 4-5 years of work experience and an extra year or two of school. I think that's pretty pimp.

I want my room assignment for NYU. *first week of August* I just hope I get a nice roommie and a nice dorm. Is that too much to ask for after Pelham?

I'm bored at work again.

Cuz: "Mommy I'm hungry"
Aunt Phyllis: "What do you want to eat daughter?"
Cuz: "Victoria's Secret"

For a full recap see Vanessa's LJ - she didn't forget anything!

On Friday morning I wake up to Tracy's phone call asking me if I have a star on my door, which I wasn't sure of at the moment, she then told me she was outside my house. I wasn't quite expecting this but it was a pleasant surprise. I then had to be a horrible hostess and shower while the whole neighborhood poured into my house just in time to catch me in my towel. Fun.

After picking up Vanessa at Westchester Co Airport and giving Katie & Emily proper directions we went to big pizza. After that we went to NYC for an awesome day. Chinatown, Little Italy, & SOHO. I think everyone was a little bit scared when we walked out of the subway station in chinatown. It looked like quite the crowded dump. NYU is around all that stuff so it was exciting to walk around that area. I did see some NYU banners but I'm not sure what those building were. I am so very excited to be going there.

On Saturday we stayed in a really nice hotel in Midtown called The Roosevelt Hotel. Nice walking distance from everything. Tracy, Katie, & I waited on line for Broadway tickets. We ended up seeing Movin' Out which was great. I love Billy Joel and the dancing was amazing. The piano player sounded exactly like Billy Joel too which was incredible. After the show we went to Serendipity to get Frozen Hot Chocolates. They were very good. Tracy & I drooled over some "real" fake designer bags that the sketchy men had on the floor.

All in all it was a really awesome trip. I will miss my GW ladies a lot. I'll be making visits during the year, maybe once a semester - once a year at least. I hope everyone had a good time. I'll miss you guys!!!

P.S. Thanks for all the metro cards! (Sorry that we put too much on - especially Katie)

EDIT I updated my pictures on community webshots. The're not in order yet but at least the're up. Hope you're happy kiddies.

I am so bored right now. Have you ever been so bored that you want to die? I want to die of bordem. Please, take me now.

1 more hour of work!

So yesterday my boss was sitting in his office crying. That was awkward. He is going through a really bad divorce, so I understand. However, what the hell am I suposed to do... sit here and pretend not to hear him?

The GDubbs reunion is tomorrow. That is seriously the only only only thing getting me through this painful day of work. As Vanessa says "No holds bar - empty the checking account!" I am ready.

All I've done is look at ebay today. I did bet on Season 1 of Sex & the City for $16.00 and a pretty necklace for $4. I love being a cheap ass.

I'M SO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( BORED )

I got a recomendation for a resturant for Saturday night. It's at Carmines in the theater district. I think that's better than going to Litty Italy, it's easier for Emily. The website is here if you wanna check it out http://www.carminesnyc.com/ They get a big pre-show crowd so we have to make reservations. I think it's like Buca b/c it's family style. Whatever, it'll be good. And if you still want we can go to Little Italy for dessert, I know a great place.

I have a recomendation for a chinatown resturant too - i've been there once it's alright but I forgot the name of it. Oh well.

Tracy - I checked the directions to my house and they seem fine. I'll email them to you. And you all have my cell phone number in case u get lost. I'll give u guys my house number too just in case. I am so excited.

Emily & Katie - Aim to arrive at my house at 10:30... not 10 because we'll be at the airport then.

.angela.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I am so upset.

The story is amazing and so emotional. Incredible.

Two cavities filled, nine to go. One root canal to look forward to. After all that... the dreaded wisdom teeth extraction. Life is awesome.

Harry Potter comes out tonight, I'm a bit too excited for that. Brian & I are going to go at midnight to pick up the book. Tomorrow I'm going to a family reunion with Brian in PA. We're coming back tomorrow night, but it should provide some solid harry potter reading time. I am excited.

My mouth is numb.

Friday - NYC TRIP with the GW Ladies. I am so excited for this trip.

out

P.S. I watched disk one of Nick & Jessica Season 2. I guess life really is awesome.

I love when the Boss leaves for the day. Except I kind of screwed up and was 10-15 minutes late returning from lunch. Opps, I had to get my coffee... I just had to. Oh well, it ain't no thang.

I went to the top of the Empire State Building yesterday. What a view that was. You could walk around the 86th floor observation deck and look out to the rest of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey. I could see the NYU campus from where I was too. I am so pumped to live in NY it's not even funny. Hopefully it'll be all it's cracked up to be.

I really don't have that much to say. I've posted my share of pics from Sarah's party in case anyone cares to look at them. The're a bit rediculous, but that night was rediculous.

I have my court date to contest my speeding ticket on Thursday. I am rather nervous. I hope the officer just doesn't show up... that would make my life. I will prob. update when I get word on that. It's all going down on Bastille Day. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing... we'll see.

TO MY GW KIDS: Do you think we should go into the City on Friday as well. There's so much to do and I don't think Sat & Sun is enough because we're going to a show and what not. Just a suggestion.

.angela.

This seems to be a common theme amongst my friends. Bored at Work - Awesome. I'd rather be bored at work and get paid $12/hr for doing it than being bored and not getting paid to do so. I have mastered the art of faxing, copying, mailing, taking short-hand notes dictated from my boss, and answering phones. My bosses are really nice guys, funny too. It is a great environment and I shouldn't be complaining. I know that in the future if I need a recommendation they will be more than happy to write me one. So that's awesome.

4th of July weekend approaching. I'm a dork and am excited to go to Anne's. I haven't seen that part of my family in what feels like ages. And there's a party too, still, maybe? Fun times to look forward to this weekend.

I'm reading this meh Chick lit book called "The Big Love". The girl is so messed up, she uses psychology for everything that happens in her life. She relates every tiny thing to an event in her childhood in a Freudian kind of way. It's so annoying. However it does remind me of D Maika's Psychology class in 12th grade where we all excused our lack of work on our personality types. Psychology can mess you up big time.

Well I have nothing to say really. I am half way through Alias Season 1, being that I got it only 7 days ago. That's 180 hours of bliss. I need a life!

.angela.

NEW ALIAS ICON! I need a life!

So I just registered for my classes at NYU. Not as painful as I thought it would be. I do have 8 am's but I have no friday classes. How pimp is that! I can go home Thursday night and have nothing to do on Friday EVER. Or the more practical thing to do is to get a job and work on Fridays. Whatever. Here is my schedule because I am bored at work with nothing to do.

Monday:
8-9:15 Principles of Financial Accounting
3:30-4:45 Concersations of the West - Antiq and the Enlightenment

Tuesday:
8-9:15 Macro Economics
9:30-10:45 Management and Orgization Analysis

Wednesday:
8-9:15 Principles of Financial Accounting
3:30-4:45 Concersations of the West - Antiq and the Enlightenment

Thursday:
8-9:15 Macro Economics
9:30-10:45 Management and Orgization Analysis
11-12:15 Convo of West Recitation
4:55-6:10 Macro Recitation

Thus is my life. Tonight is Angela Cousin's graduation up in Mahopac. I'll be making my return to the Ruggiero household tonight.

Oh and I'm 19 today.

For my birthday Brian got me the Nick & Jessica DVDs AND the Alias Season 1 DVD Set! Now I have all the Alias DVDs! I am a god! So many hours of wasted life ahead of me it's brilliant. I also got some quality chick lit and a web cam. Cute. Brian went to Va Beach this weekend so I am boyfriendless.

We should do something this weekend of friends of mine. I love you all. Beautiful pics of Ciara's party mind you.

I've lost my mind.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
