ear candy

i've been listening to this non-stop -- so good for studying/writing my final essays! 

gahhhh i'm going home soon :)) 

in need of a study buddy

my head is literally swelling from all the knowledge i've been stuffing inside it. got a big physics test tomorrow so i'm keepin' my fingers crossed on it. last day before thanksgiving break, woohoo! :) 

fundrazor

went to a Suffolk fundraiser last night for students going to El Salvador during winter break. it was an acoustic show that a couple of my friend's bands played in: Chet's band, Shire, and Jovi/Fergie's band Fragments. good seeing friends and listening to chill musica. 

i've got california on my mind.

dayyygloowwww

allie & i after dayglow! (apparently, the world's larget paint party) 

last night was so much fun! i can now check one thing off my bucket list that i didn't even know i wanted on my list. my school has a fall concert every year. the last couple years they've had girl talk/sean kingston, ludacris, etc. but i've never been to one. when they announced that dayglow was gonna be our fall concert i had no idea what it was. there was so much hype about it though that i knew i had to go. standing in line for 3.5 hours and missing two of my classes was annoying, but it was worth it. 

it was @ the House of Blues and went from 7 - 1130 PM. it was so freakin' hot and i was schweatin' so bad, but once they started spraying the paint the fun began. haha it got in my eyes SO many times...i literally thought i was gonna have to leave, but i knew i had to stick it out. i don't think i've ever jumped so much in my life! 

David Solano & Rehab dj'ed. not entirely sure who they are, but they weren't bad. definitely a once in a lifetime  experience. I'm content and don't need to go to another rave again. LOL :) 

saturday nights in the city

allie, me, colin, zack attack, schniks, maggie, & jovi

last night allie & i biked to allston to go to our friend jovani's (far right) casa. he lives only like a street over from where i used to live. nostalgia! had work the next day, so we biked and decided to abstain from the drinking scene for the night. honestly, one of the funnest/funnIest parties i've been to in a while. i enjoyed myself, and i'm happy to say that. i was around the people i wanted to be a good majority of the time. had great conversations w/ my friends. LOL's were had. 

gettin' sad to leave in a month or so. love the people in this pic, and love those that were behind the iPhone. this long weekend reminded me of the people i want to keep close, and those that i know will fade. you gotta put time both ways homie. give and take, ya know? 

shitheads need not apply in my life. 

Today was a perfect daze.

i'm comin home!

booked my flight :) headin' home a day after my last final. super excited! dude, it's crazy how october is pretty much done already...gah, need to get my life together. california is my light @ the end of the tunnel.

city life

favorite picture from New York trip

     SO, this post has been long overdue. i finally have a day off work tomorrow and i'm pretty psyched. in celebration, i'm staying up late tonight...watching useless television, eating cookies (oh wait, i do that everyday). tomorrow i'm not setting an alarm, going shopping for an updated fall/winter wardrobe, and hopefully seeing some friendly faces.

     my trip to New York City was fun, stressful, but fun. I went with my two roomies and we tried to explore the city as much as we could. There were TONS of people which got me stressed most of the time, but boy it's quite a city. SO MUCH different from Boston. definitely a city i want to visit again multiple times, but not one i see myself really living in yet. I would've had almost twice as much new york pictures up on facebook, but unfortunately my entire first role of film got exposed to light and it was all gone in an instant. worst mistake :(

time to parrty!

run-out : a personal rant by heather yegge

i've hit that moment. that instant where all you want is to just be home with your parents and siblings and just talk to them, just hug them. to be in a controllable environment where i don't have to worry about anything. i can chill, just chill. 


when i'm not studying/READING/writing papers...i'm working, and when i'm not working...i'm sleeping, which is only for a good power hour nap. i think this might be the first time i can actually say i'm exhausted. not exhausted from a day of hard work lifting things, or a day of running around doing errands, not even exhaustion from a day. i'm exhausted from the last two weeks. 


i feel like i never do anything. recently, multiple people have asked me what i do as a hobby or for leisure. my answer: "oh gosh...i have no idea. i don't really do anything." << this right here, this is lame. i wanna start DOING things! i wanna laugh more. i wanna chill more. i wanna do more.  


i really wish i saw more of my friends on campus. it's kind of a rarity. i think most of all i wish they would reach out to me more, but i shouldn't be complaining when i know good and well i need to reach as well. i guess where i'm going with this whole rant is that i'm lacking the feeling of being "wanted" or "needed" right now. hmmm yeah, as dumb as that sounds i can admit it. 


when i think of my parents it almost makes me cry right now. for the longest time i thought i was so independent cause i'm 20 and this is how it's supposed to be. but now i think i finally, at least know how, to appreciate the value of my parents and what they mean to me & what they've done for me. 

the view

might be hard to see, but this is a panoramic view of my room from my bed that i took on my phone. still got some postahs to put up and mass amounts of pictures. :) 

runner's high

took a run around the north end and harbor tonight with allie. man, it has been way too long since i've exercised. i need to start treating my body better. It was nice to just get outta the apartment and feel free. ran about 1.8 miles or so...2 miles if you count the cool-down walk back to the apt. got myself a serious endorphins high! there's nothin' else like it :) 

rollin in dem singles!

4:40 AM alarm this morning. As i got up my heart was filled with excitement and nervousness. It was day two of my training @ Boston Common Coffee. Day one went fairly well as far as i could tell. Now, I was to be rushed with the ever rapid morning rush. Leaving my apartment when it was still dark out was kinda creepy. It was calming in the sense that I was literally the only one walking around, which doesn't happen often in the North End. But then i started freaking myself out cause i realized i was totally alone, in essence i was a prime suspect. Luckily, the coffee shop's not more than three to four blocks away. 


Working seven hour shifts is something i'm still getting used to, but everything's new to me in this situation. I feel like i'm still behind, but i should be. This is only day two. Yes, i'm not gonna lie and say i didn't make any mistakes. i made a ton! but everyone does. i'm human. What was reassuring though were my co-workers. When we got little breaks here and there, when no one was coming in, they kept telling me how well i was doing, and it was definitely nice to hear that.  Everyone has been pretty nice and considerate at the fact that i'm learning. Nothing sucks more then having to work with people you can't get along with. 


Pretty much this is how all my tuesdays and thursdays will look from now on, with weekend shifts every now and again. 5:30 AM - 1:00 PM, wooo bring it! ** funny fact: i get super excited anytime we split up tips throughout our shifts. it's like instant gratification for me. i see the dough i'm making. just today i made $26 in tips alone :) 


i'm going to sleep happy. 

meet dah rommies

me, allie, & antjelina

changing tides

today seemed like a non-stop day: classes on top of classes, meetings on top of meetings. i hardly could get a snack in. figuring out study aboard details is stressful, but at the same time every new detail i'm finding out is getting me all excited. an interesting fact about it >> it seems if i get excepted into the program i'll be gone from january 3 -- may 25! it seems like such a long time, but it means that i'll hopefully be able to travel around Europe a lot. we'll see how things work out come October. 


on another note, i start training for a job i got @ a coffee shop down the street from my apt tomorrow. yeeee, i'm super nervous but i'm really excited because this will be one of my first fo' real jobs, besides xrtainment zone, but i knew literally everyone there and i didn't have the stress of crazy business people wanting their coffee RIGHT THEN RIGHT NOW. gahhh :) 

phew!

these last couple days have been non-stop: driving, unloading, loading (repeat), unpacking, sorting, assembling. luckily, i had my super muscular sister and mom to help me with all my stuff, so it ended up not being as stressful as i thought. minus the fact where we had to drive through the middle of downtown boston and were screaming at each other about whether we needed to be in the left or right lane. bhahah! ;) on the plus, i'm lovin the new neighborhood i'm livin in. it's the north end, which for all my cali friends is like the little italy of boston. i love being so close to school and downtown. 
(pictures will be added soonzies) 


started first day of classes today, and as usual my mind was traveling at an insane speed. i've been noticing more and more that i literally have the worst memory when it comes to important issues in my life. first i walked out the door with my helmet, but no bike. and then when i got my bike out and headed towards class i remembered that i forgot to grab my cellular. ugh, it's like a disease. i need to get my ish together. thank goodness i have ant & allie to continually remind me of things. <3 i had 3 outta 4 of my classes today, and they were all better then i expected. i think this semester's going to be a good one. 


no classes tuesdays or thursdays, so tomorrow i'm off to find a job. keep your fingers crossed for me! 

zombie eyez! 

wait, where'd the summer go?

i can't believe that time as come along again. it seriously seemed like just the other day it was july and i felt like i had a whole two months to bask in the sun. meh, but life goes on! spent the other night (wednesday) with some of my buds still left out here @ red robin. haven't been there all summer so i definitely indulged in their finest whiskey bbq burger ;) i seriously need to set a steady workout regime when i get to boston. i've been a fatty this whole summer. got pretty sad at the end of the night when i had to say my final good-byes, especially to leanne & daniel :( we've hung out so much this summer and they're seriously my best fwiends. imma miss those two crazies. 

then, today was spent running errands, picking up necessities, finally putting my things into a suitcase, and saying my last good-byes....such a sad day. met up with dars & sabrina @ boba tea house and enjoyed one last thai iced tea. we chatted for an hour and it seriously made me miss them already cause they're my rocks. next i headed off to my grandparent's house to finish up a fleece blanket i've been working on and to hang out with them one last time. i seriously love them to death. i couldn't have been blessed with greater g-rents. it was so hard to say good-bye again. 

on the bright side of things this is my finished product! can't wait for my g-ma to send this to me to cuddle up with in my new apt. :)

oh, and now i'm chillin in my room unable to sleep cause i'm so anxious to see allie, ant, and my new apt! + my sister just showed me how to use wax strips and they hurt like a motherf****er. holy smokes, it's painful. i'll be trying to keep this updated as much as possible while i'm gone! niks, dars, leanne + sabrina, come visit me in boston puhhleasse! <3

dooley & pepper

i am such a dork, but i miss this girl terribly. can't wait for her to visit me this semester and get a taste of Boston culture, yipee :)

re:cap//heat

today was seriously unbearable. 115 DEGREES! are you kidding me? just going from the car to chipotle was scorching. you get heat coming from above and below off the concrete. bleh, makes me look forward to this upcoming fall weather, yipee! spent the day with the bro & sis hanging out for one of the last times before i head back to school. ate too much chipotle & finally saw captain america. super good movie! me likely some chris evans <3 ;)

not only was it heating up outside, but it was heating up in the kitchen this weekend. ;) me & sabrina got super bored and decided that we should put our skills to good use and make some delish peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies. so bomb. the first batches were successful, but then we got ahead of ourselves and tried to make a gigantic one...memo to self: don't bake cookies while watching the office -- you'll get mesmerized by michael scott's hilariousness and burn your cookies. HIGHLIGHT of the day: was definitely seeing dars' mama :) i've missed her soo.

you're in my dreams

Brandi Carlile>>Dreams

one of my favorite artists at the moment. astounding voice, gah she's so good.

Ketchup

had an awesome sabbath this weekend! went to re:live and church with friends...it was so refreshing to be back in "big church". it's been too long since i went there. then i jetted off to niko niko sushi to meet up with my dad who has been working overtime for way too long. i miss spending quality time with him, so i enjoyed lunch so much with him. you kinda get lost when you're living in a house with seven people + their friends and signif others. we demolished our sushi, obviously, in true yegge fashion. then i was off to my mom's house to see my baby cousins who are the most adorable things ever! last time i'm gonna see them before i leave for school in less then two weeks. they broke my heart when they had to leave cause they started crying saying, "we don't wanna leave! we wanna stay with heather!" i <3 those little munchkins. knocked out into a food coma for a couple hours and spent time with my mah and g-mah.

can i go back to june? this summer has been too good to me.

snippets of seattle

It's one of those moments...

where all i wanna do is sit down on my comfy couch or bed with a junk load of pillows and comforters and bundle all the way up to where you can only see my eyes. i'll sit down with a fully charged laptop glowing right at me with the world of Netflix open to me. I'll snag a scoop of my favorite ice cream and turn the lights off to create that perfect ambiance, and you'll be there waiting for me. but, that's not really the case tonight.

instead i'm by myself in my extremely over heated room, where it's impossible to even have a blanket on me at risk of catching heat exhaustion. there's no ice cream in the fridge, and it's not even worth going to the store to get if it's just me. my laptop won't even hold a charge

for 10 minutes at this point and has made watching movies a real difficulty.

it's August 17th, which means schools are starting to begin again, in turn meaning it's come to that time again where we all split up. one of my best friends, nikki, is leaving tomorrow and it's hitting me right now that i won't see her till xmas. ugh, this sucks. how did summer go by so fast? i can honestly say that this has been the best summer of my life so far. i love all the people in my life right now. i wish i could pack them all up with me.

Should I start this over again?
