Pittsburgh

My trip has started to go so much better than yesterday. Yesterday was the most stressful day I think I've ever had. I broke down for a second time after my last post. But you know what, its all good now.

Last night I stayed in Pittsburgh, I went there to check out a school called Point Park University. Well I love Pittsburgh. It is so pretty. The architecture was beautiful and I could see myself there. So after Disney I am Pittsburgh PA bound.

There's my little update for you. I am sitting in a hotel in South Carolina, six hours away form Orlando. So tomorrow I get to meet some awesome people and be in Florida finally!

On My Way

I left today! Bright and early this morning I took off on my way to Orlando via Pittsburgh. Well then this funny little thing happened. After only an hour and a half of driving my car broke down. Yupppp. So right now I'm typing this inside of a Dunkin Donuts. Where for the next fourish hours I get to wait. Oh well I guess worst things have happened. But this is my little. I'm annoyed and a little upset really short post. Hope your trips are smoother. Also I will probably only get to Orlando really late Monday instead of early afternoon. Just so you all know.

Last week with the friends =(

So everyone, this is my second to last week of the summer. Its been a good one. Nah, its been a really great one. And thats why it hurts so much to know that this is the last week me and my friends will be able to hang out, all of us, until god knows when. We are all leaving around august 27,28, and 29. But next week is my mom's vacation so I will be doing cool things with the family all week. So since this was my last week free to plan I tried to fit everything and everyone in and here's my schedule:

Monday: I went to lunch shopping and the movies with my sister (saw toy story 3 for the fourth time, yah I know.)

Tuesday (today): This here is a biggie. Me, Ariel, Brigid, and my fav cousin Jon are going to Southwicks zoo. Why the zoo? We really don't know but through the library its only five bucks so why not? Then we will come back here and chill (something we do best) have one last fire(most likely the last one) with everyone else including eating some lovely sundaes then do a sleepover in my camper. This sleepover will include a rousing game of Cranium WOW, and then a breakfast at friendly's in the morning.

Wednesday: After breakfast, I will come home clean up and then go to lunch with my favorite field hockey teammate, Sarah. We regularly get lunch, and she was one of the first people I told all about Disney. She was so important and made me appreciate her even more than I already do. After lunch is my Grandma's birfday. Love her! So we will head on over there.

Thursday: That's another big day. Its ultimate JessCorey day. Me and my best friend will go to six flags and have an amazing day. And then we will be absolute lunatics and come home and get ready for the club. Now don't think I'm a party animal because I'm not. And most of us have never been before and just thought it would be a cool thing to do before we all go our separate ways.

Friday:After the club I will sleepover Beth's which is a favorite pasttime of mine =) I will then hopefully set up my macbook, go chill with both my grandmother's, then most likely back to Beth's once she is done school for movies and junk food.

Yes, I just like making lists. Haha. I'm so looking forward to this week. Just the thought puts a smile on my face, and then a frown when I think about how this is the end.

Taxfree Shopping!!

So Saturday and Sunday were taxfree weekend in Mass. I definately helped contribute to the chaos of this....by buying everything left on my shopping list. Beginning with a trek to the apple store. I am a Mac, definately not a PC. And for the degree I will be pursueing in fall 2011, entertainment management, owning a macbook and not a plain old laptop is mandatory. Now don't get me wrong. I still like macs and if it wasn't for my chosen career I probably would have never invested in a macbook at this stage in life. But for me, it makes sense to own this unbelievably amazing computer right now. Except, there's another thing you should know about me. I am a bargain shopper. I will not rest until I get the most for my money. Well incomes taxfree weekend, and great rebates offered by Apple at this time. So (once my rebates come in) it will have cost me 1130 for a 13 inch Macbook Pro(which I got a 100 dollar discount for), an 8g iPod Touch (which was free after rebate), and a hp photosmart printer (which is only 30 dollars after rebate). Now I still spent a lot of money at once.... which is hard for me. But, I do feel good about everything I purchased there. But sadly for my wallet this was not where the shopping ended Saturday. No, it wasn't. I had a coupon thing for victoria secret PINK. So I bought two bras, got a free pair of panities, and got a laptop case. Again cheap...but money draining. Last but not least we headed off to Walmart. You all probably know this already. But when I went to Nashville my camera was (believed to be) stolen or lost. So I needed a digital camera. Because there is no way I would be heading down to Orlando with out one. So I went to walmart where the beautiful samsung dualview digital camera was on sale, used my gift card, and now own it. So overall. Saturday was a gratifying and yet sad day. Sad to part with my hard earned cash, yet soooo happy with my purchases and the sales I came across. I do not recommend spending this much money at once unless you have thought about it for two years the way I have. I do not plan on doing this anytime soon. But I do plan on loving these technological items as if they were a brand new puppy. My macbook pro=love. Just saying.

In Preparation!

Okay so I have been trying to do something everyday in preparation for Orlando. Today it was cleaning out my car and my trunk. So now I'm going to tell you something about me you probably don't know. I live out of my car. Like obviously I sleep in my bed in my parents house and stuff. But I often find everything I own in my car. And cleaning it doesn't last for too long. Because then I just go about my life and figure out that more stuff will pile up. So cleaning out the trunk was especially difficult. But I did it, so now I feel accomplished. And I have a newfound appreciation for my car. That was just a little CS update.

An Actual Careerstart Post

Okay, so JGL aside. In three weeks I will be on my way to Orlando (by way of pittsburgh). There is so much to do. I have made my list of things to do, and I have a feeling it is not finished yet haha. But it is two sheets long. Today I tackled my room and nightstand. I cleaned my room until it was everyday looking clean. It was a pigsty. yuck! Then I went after my nightstand. Lets just say its like two draws full of everything hair, makeup and jewelry with random stuff thrown in. All the stuff I've acquired in the last .... Oh I don't know eighteen years. Well now, I threw out the stuff I didn't want. Then I decided what to take with me and leave here. Then I cleaned it all. And I cleaned my make up bag. It was a trip and a half. And for the next two weeks I'm doing this with every part of my room. and car. Which is like cleaning and packing up my life. So weird.

On a different note, I'm so excited for this chapter of my life! I'm excited to meet you all and live with caitie. She'll be an awesome roommate! I'm excited to start a new job. Live in a new place. Be around warm weather. Go to Disney whenever I want. And have awesome friends!! I know this will be the experience of a lifetime and I am wicked excited to begin this adventure.

Are we recording? Hit RECord!


So as my love for Joseph Gordon Levitt has grown (which after 500 days of summer I didn't know was possible) I've found out some cool stuff. Like how when he went to columbia (!) he only took classes in french, he dated julia stiles, and most importantly.... hitRECord.org. This is JGL (snl called him jiggle hahahaha)'s website. But its so much more than a website. It is a professional production company. A collaborative creative everyone contributes company. And Morgan M. Morgansen is a video they created. Its amazing. I'm buying the tshirt. Anyways. This site, that I joined, has amazed me and allowed me to love him even more. So thats my update.

Celebrity Love

Okay, So Haley's post about her Inception obsession led me to write this post. I figured why not share with you all my celebrity crushes. The number one being is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There is no question that he is my number one celebrity love. He is smart, adorable, and such a good actor. He's charming and dapper as me and Haley dubbed him. And definately isn't one of those cocky celebrity bitches haha. My love for him began last summer when me and my friend went to see (500) Days of Summer. That's probably my favorite movie. Ever. It's the movie that I always said should be made, but they did it better. And the cast is stellar. The movie even earned Joseph Gordon levitt a Golden Globe nomination. Anywho, That movie made my life. And sparked a celebrity crush within me for the leadin man. Haha. Well this week, I went to see Inception. It was amazing. I am already making plans to see it again. I will buy the dvd (and I don't buy many dvds). I have pure love for this phenomonen. And it reinforced my love for the talented Joseph Gordon Levitt. My favorite part of the entire movie (this is not a spoiler) is when everyone is staring at him and Ellen page so he says, kiss me. And when she does, nothing changes. So he says "well it was worth a shot" In that charming little way of his. All in all, Inception was amazing as is (500) Days of Summer. And I have a celebrity love for Joseph Gordon Levitt.

And here's some other guys on the big screen I love, Ryan Reynolds. Funny and hot? wow.
Leonardo DiCaprio. Okay so I'll admit it. There was a time when I didn't understand his appeal. Loved his acting, but not always him. This surely has changed. And his last two movies I saw were beyond amazing. (shutter island and the previously mentioned Inception)
And Jake Gyllanhael. He's cute. charming. and just ahhh (donnie darko) enough said.


Well those are the guys I can think of for now. You all should do this post too. Its fun.

Ending the challenge

Okay, So I've been sucky at my bloggin. But theres a couple reasons for that. First I went away to Nashville for a week and was unable to. Then I had my wisdom teeth removed, and to this day feel crappy. But I also ended up ignoring this out of pure boredness with the challenge thing. I don't know why but I decided I'm done.
