I would like to discuss the "Paradox of Summer" as I like to call it. Let me explain.
1. I got home from school and didn't have a job yet, and was so excited, because I had absolutely nothing to do.
2. A week rolled by, and I was effing bored out of my mind because, well, I had nothing to do (funny how that works, right?).
3. I got a job, and it's great because I finally have something to do, I'm not just home all day left to my own devices.
4. Again, a week rolled by, and I'm already frustrated, because I have much less time to myself and work can be very boring (despite the fact that it's something to do)
So there you have it. For some reason, I can't be happy with anything for more than about a week. Am I alone in this? Is this a general thing, or should this be renamed the "Paradox of Hannah's Summer"?

Shush girl
So there is this song by 3OH!3 called Don't Trust Me. I think it's hysterical, despite its inappropriateness. But there is one line, that I can't tell if it's bad or not... And I quote,
"Shush girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller, and talk with your hips!"
I'm sorry, but that's hysterical. But the first time i heard it, my immediate reaction was "Ummm can they say? Is this like legal to say on the radio?" But they say it, so I guess it must be.
New topic (sorry, ADD). So I started work on Monday, and it got me thinking... How in the heck am I going to work 8 hours a day for almost everyday for the rest of my adult life??? It has been two, count em two, days that I have been working. Yes, I understand that the work that I'm doing isn't exactly what I want to do, and it can be very boring at times. But it's not just that. It's sitting, or just being inside, and being focused on one or two tasks for hours at a time. I just don't know how I'll do it without being SO bored all the time.
Anyways, I'm going to paint my nails purple because I can!

SO Here we go!
Okay, okay. So I said I was going to start this blog a VERY long time ago, and I guess I just never really got around to it. But lately, I've been home bored out of my freaking mind. I'm hoping that maybe this will cure my insanity for at least a few minutes or so.
ANYWAYS, so I recently finished my freshman year at Northeastern University in Boston (Go Huskies!). Since I've been done, my father took my stepmother and I to China, which was an amazing trip. Yesterday, I got back from a trip to Disney with three of my dance babies. But now I have a feeling summer isn't going to be just fun. On Monday, I'm starting an NIH funded internship at a nearby technology company. Man, that sounds impressive for a college student who just finished freshman year. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound so impressive when I say that the company is my father's, and that I was the only applicant for the position because I was the only one that they told there was an opening. So let's just pretend that's not the case. As I was saying... on Monday, I'm starting a VERY impressive sounding job, but I'm slightly nervous that it's out of my skill range. I'm hoping they didn't put too much faith in me, and didn't make it too hard for me. Oh well, I guess I'll find out on Monday, right?
On a totally unrelated topic, my best friend Tee needs to come home. She goes to school out in Southern Utah, and is taking a few summer classes before she comes home. I pretty much miss her more than life itself. She's pretty much the only person I know who doesn't judge me, and who is always there for me, and when we get back together it seems like we've never been apart. This is the longest we've ever been apart, and I'm feeling very Tee-deprived. But we already have a date planned for when she gets home, to go see the fireworks down at Empire State Plaza. I can't wait :)
So is this a good first post? I guess I wouldn't really know. I'll let you be the judge I suppose!
