i forgot mike's school has terrible service, so that was a little let down when i tried to call. especially after he came online and disappeared a minute later. i can't already miss him, and this can't already be hard; it has only been two days i think. what the fucking hell? this sucks. i miss him. and tomorrow alyssa and christina leave. i did get to see them both today, but i'll miss seeing them too. and then i leave sunday, so i'm leaving everyone who is going to occ home. pretty much only a few: nicole, jenni, courtney, and danielle. well i'm trying to make it an easy transition by not letting these thoughts consume my mind and so far it's going pretty well. i bought a book today-a million little pieces. i've heard it's very good, and seen a lot of people reading it. i just need a good book instead of this silly internet giving me a constant headahce. tomorrow is mine and my mom's day. somehow they let her off work, so we're going up to the jackson outlets. there's the cutest store there that i know she will love, it has salsa and other fun things like that. mike and i bought her a habanero salsa sunday and it is already cleaned out. i think it will be fun to take a day out of my life to spend with her because i know it's going to be really hard on her when both kim and i are gone, and with my dad gone a lot. i took her out to dinner tonight also, which was fun. i couldn't imagine my life without mike. it's my bestie's 18th birthday today!
