like it's her birthday
yesterday, i officially turned 20 and a half years old. it's a magical milestone... makes me feel like i'm so old in this day and age. because we all know how much half a year makes in one person's life.
the bamboozle roadshow made its way to the comcast center in mansfield yesterday, and it just so happened to be the last show of the tour! so you could imagine all the bands were incredibly exhausted, which means they'll probably give it their all for an amazing concert. and it turned out to be exactly that.
the main stage showed forever the sickest kids, good charlotte, simple plan, third eye blind, LMFAO, all time low, and boys like girls. i went to the concert with jess, and we ran into alana's sister somewhere in the crowd. needless to say the stadium was pretty packed, and although the seats didn't get filled there was always a mob of people dancing to every song. it was one hell of a concert, i don't think i've ever had the chance to listen to live music for like 6 hours straight..
what surprised me the most was how good every band sounded live. all time low and good charlotte might have been my favorite shows... and yes, i know. i said good charlotte. they played all the old classic songs and even showed off a new song they're gonna release in the fall, and i have to say i am waiting for the song to come out. because it's catchy.
it's always concerts like these that make me appreciate music as a whole. bands from all sorts of genres coming together to form one group, whose purpose is simply to pour their hearts out into their words and melodies, no matter what the sounds are like. makes me believe that anyone in the world is capable of producing something that will affect at least one person's life, whether it is through song or some other form of demonstration of their emotions.

this too shall pass
sleep hasn't been coming easy these days.
ever since sunday night, i've been struggling to fall asleep at a reasonable hour. or at least, at the hour i'd like to be sleeping at. i don't know what it is.. i'm always tired throughout the day, and i don't have anything to do at night. so what better way to spend my time than to be healthy and hit the sack a little early?
i just feel restless whenever i'm trying to pass out. it's not like i'm thinking about anything, honestly my brain is too tired to even begin to process any type of information. and i just lay there under my blankets, eyes closed. but the rest of my body tells me it's not ready to slip out of consciousness.
i feel like the real reason why i bring this up is because i've been feeling constantly tired and sluggish during the day. i got a solid 7 hours of sleep last night, but still felt terrible when i woke up this morning. we had a short intern conference meeting at 9, and i couldn't even keep myself awake. it's starting to make me wonder if there's anything actually wrong with my body.. three days of this pattern is starting to make me worry a little bit.
i'm going to blame it on the fact that the celtics absolutely bombed last night. unacceptable.

at least i'm getting paid..
the first time for anything is always scary.
that first day of college, being forced to mingle with people who may end up being your greatest enemies or your best friends and being thrown in an unfamiliar location, leaving you lost and overwhelmed. that first kiss, being afraid that you would miss and make a fool out of yourself or that it wouldn't be returned. that first flight overseas, feeling the uncomfortable pressure in your ears and freaking out at the unstable airplane as it takes off and jets towards the sky.
the first day of work is no different, especially when you are dropped off in an empty cubicle with no access to any of the equipment and no boss available to go to for help :(
i started working at my internship yesterday, bright and early at 8:30 in the morning. after the typical orientation and sitting around waiting for paperwork to be filed, i was picked up by a member of the mechanical engineering department in the lobby for assignment. she brought me across the facility and plopped me down in a cubicle, which was bare with the exception of a monstrous monitor plugged into a small PC.
but because i could not log in to my computer, i was left with no work to do. my boss showed up briefly, gave me a description of what i was here to do, and then left for meetings that would take up the entire day. by this point it was only around 10:30, so i decided to kill time and explore the premesis. i proceeded to do so until lunch at noon, and then once that was over i walked around some more and almost got lost on the way back to my cubicle.
this sounds like a nice start to my summer job.
