 I FINALLY got my envelope from UAA Housing today, and my college has offered me housing for fall semester!! I'm so happy!! I was irrationally worrying that they would somehow run out of spaces before they got to my application for consideration or something like that. Very silly, but I'm very relieved to know that somewhere, in some room, in some hall, I have a spot. And plus, Chelsea got her letter today, too, so we're gonna be starting our first year living on campus together, just like we wanted. 

This does make me pretty nervous. The more real it starts to feel, the more real leaving my family becomes; it's pretty scary. I just feel down because I feel like everyone has already got this pegged and knows how to deal with it, and I'm playing catch up. :( Better late than never, yeah, but that doesn't help me feel any better. I just hope it's worth it. I hope I love it like I think/hope that I will. And that I get a roommate that's cool, not too much of a neat freak, and doesn't mind me staying up to ungodly hours either for studying or just because. 

Mom and dad had an alarm system installed this week, 2 different days, from around 5-9pm. Needless to say, I didn't see the need to get one, and did not enjoy the people sawing and drilling and hammering holes into and shit into the walls of my house. Plus, one sensor is apparently at the DOOR to the garage. If someone is getting into your garage, chances are you're already in trouble. Why a sensor needs to be there is something I have no idea about. I'm not thrilled, but I didn't pay for it. 

On another note, I have a friend that's being a total bitchface. She, we'll call her G, was in my english 211 class spring semester, and we started talking and made friends on pretty much the first day. We'd do partner work together and everything, and exchanged cell #s to text and everything. We eventually started talking to another girl in our class, R, and we were somewhat of a trio for a while. Eventually, I noticed G siding more and more with R and adopting some sort of cold shoulder bitch attitude toward me (R seemed to have this attitude as well; she would bitch if she didn't get her own way). Now, G doesn't even talk to me at all; I text, facebook wall post, everything (and not constantly, just once and a while), and nothing! :/ I'm just sad; it always sucks to lose a friend to a mean girl. 

We leave for vacation (flying into cincinatti, OH and visiting several cities within the state to see relatives, etc, in case you didn't know) in just about a week! First class~! I have to get cleaning, though; insulation people are coming to spray shit into the attic while we're gone, and the attic entrance just happens to be at the top of my closet.

 first of all, welcome to my new friends who added me from the addme community! i encourage you to not be afraid to frequently comment! 

let's see, what have i done since i updated this (which, now that i look, it's been basically a year). i have:

-gotten my driver's license (nov '09! it took four tries, but i did it)
-won another nanowrimo (www.nanowrimo.org)
-finished my first year of college at UAA (www.uaa.alaska.edu) with a 3.70 gpa 
-applied for housing in a dorm room for fall '10 (i'm anxiously awaiting assignment; they mailed me a card saying they received my application, so i'm hoping it's just a matter of time. i'm pretty nervous, but i think this will be good for me.)
-got a laptop (toshiba sattelite pc, i love it) 
-got a blackberry (the bold 9700, complete with data plan, one of the best things i ever did) 
-made friends and lost friends 
-was ALMOST in a good relationship (but then utah opened up and swallowed him whole :/ just my luck) 
-FINALLY met my friend yelena (we've been friends online forever, and she was up to visit her boyfriend and we spent a day together :D!) 


outside was a little bit hellish today. no one has been sweeping the icky dust and gravel off of the roads, and freak winds hit sometime last night and continued into this morning and afternoon, so the freaky huge wind picks it up and hurls it at your car or into your eyes. :( i hit the post office today to mail my textbooks for amazon.com's buyback, it was stressless and awesome, and i will soon have a $56 amazon gift card in my account. 

sister came home sick from school today :( she's feeling better now, though, so that's good. i've been feeling a little off these days - nausea, body aches - but feeling much better as of late, so i'm not that worried about anything. 

LOST is on tonight! and V, which will probably get axed again, but only because abc doesn't freaking promote and made it have the weirdest schedule - four episodes on and then something like 8 months off. still, i like it, so i'll enjoy it while it lasts. it's really a shame how tv is these days; some (imho) crappy shows get twenty seasons of pointlessness, while some amazing shows get cut because they're (imho again) not at all well advertised. well of course no one's watching it, no one knows about it! aaand yet, some shows like supernatural are just the little show that could :) five seasons complete after this thursday; i swear, i'm gonna either cry or get all flustered or something during the season finale. oh gosh :/

step down assembly was today! (seniors 'step down' to gym floor, everyone else moves over a grade level in seating, and senior pictures/year pictures shown in three simultaneous slideshows) it was awesome! they showed my picture like, 2 times and when 'don't stop believin' by journey came on (our class song, fyi) everyone was singing along and waving their lit cellphones, it was pretty crazy. TWO DAYS. JUST TWO. i can't believe it. two days in first 3 classes, only ONE MORE in last 3 after lunch. wow. i will miss katie/kalyn/amanda :'( but they will text me and we'll be fine.

we MIGHT be going out to lunch tomorrow. but LKDSLDSDFD CAITLIN IS INVITING REBECCA WHO HATES ME. srsly, it's like... idk. if anyone (as if anyone else reads this other than [personal profile] jargonaut , haha) wants the backstory, i can oblige. but basically she's friends with my friend and she doesn't like me. it's just frustrating because Caitlin DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE HOW AWKWARD IT IS FOR ME. :( i mean, cara might be going and paige is too, but caitlin/paige/rebecca are all friends and it'll be awkward for me! :(

APU accepted me today. i don't know if i'll go. i mean, it's a nice and EXPENSIVE school but their majors are so little! they did, however, send me a free aluminum/metal/whatever water bottle so it's not a total loss :D

okay, here goes. mostly, i put this here because i need an entry in this new DW journal thing.
anyway.

i'm jillian. i'm a senior in highschool (AAAAND FINISH SCHOOL IN FOUR DAYS / GRADUATE IN 8 DAYS!! yes, i'm excited) and i have lived in alaska for just about half of my life. i'm a lame person who doesn't have her driver's license yet, but REALLY should. i'm going to UAA in the fall, hopefully, and am going to live at home for at least my first year (hey, it's cheaper!). i applied for a Bachelor's in Japanese, but am thinking of switching to majoring in psychology and minoring in japanese. i'm not sure. i live with my mom, dad, fourteen year old sister, and my mix dog violet.

more here later, maybe. in the meantime, here are all the links to all the social networking sites that i can remember that i belong to.
