The last two days off work have been super fun compared to the rest of my summer. For the first time this summer I got to do things that were strictly fun-based, and not work or business orientated. On Tuesday Lisa, my best-friend, Meka, her awesome cousin, and I went to MTV's show It's On With Alexa Chung(again). The special guests was Kelly Osbourne and the episode was really funny. Alexa said my outfit was really cute, so that partly made my day. 
After that we walked around store browsing for a while then went back to staten island to take photos. We took a lot of photos in Snug Harbor which I just discovered is a beautiful landscape. We took a bunch of photos that really came out cute. The next day Lisa, Jeanette, and I went to a concert at the Highline Ballroom. We were super excited to see The Cab but kinda sad when we knew Ian wasn't going to be there. However, despite the missing guitar player, stupid girls, and the heat, we had an amazing time. 
Not only did we get to cut the 3 block long line, we were really close to the stage and we got to meet almost all the bands after the show. I was sore when I got home, but happy. Now I am really excited for this Sunday & Tuesday coming up. On Sunday my friend Tracey is having a beach party. (I've been begging for someone to have one) And on Tuesday Lisa, her friend Corey, and I are going to Six Flags to see NeverShoutNever and The Academy Is. This summer is looking up already.
Looking back on my post "Everyone Makes Pointless New Years Resolutions, Time For A Change", I see the change I promised myself coming to light. I have stayed focused on maximizing my monthly achievements and became more self-conscious of my time. I have also become more resourceful. All of this gives me hope for the rest of the year. I am looking forward to new and bigger achievements. I plan to develop more.

So this whole month has been POP-mania! From organizing things for September to recruiting at orientation. It wasn't the greatest month but POP has made it better. We have all new accomplishments this month: a completed and signed proposal, ready to print business cards, new email (poptv@pace.edu thanks Jeff!), over 100 fans on our facebook page, ready to be edited footage from Andre, a list of eager new freshmen, deals ready to made with other school's organization, and a growing contact list. I feel so excited and proud. I am very glad that we(Kaitlynn, Ivonna and I) took a chance on this idea that was generated by my simple interest during my first semester of freshman year. Well enough about POP I need to relax sometimes I'm a little too excited lol.
So another random thing that occurred this month was getting to finally see my favorite band Chester French perform(and for free too!) at the south street seaport. It was awesome and funny because during sound check a member of the crowd got upset about the lyrics of the song and argued with the stage manager, i couldn't stop laughing. I also got a free issue of PAPER Magazine ♥ (
haven't read a lot of magazines lately because I've been broke but PAPER is one of my favorites!). It was a great day! Also in this past month I got go with my friends to MTV's new show, It's On With Alexa Chung! We served as audience members the day my favorite Demi Lovato(I know it sounds like everyone is my favorite but I really love Demi Lovato) visited the show. She was amazingly beautiful and I felt that although her interview seemed shy away from parts of her life, she was still genuine. I hope to see her in concert again one day and hopefully meet her and talk to her about her influence on me. All Demi Lovato lovers be sure to watch Princess Protection Program and get her new sure-to-be-awesome album!
Other things I am looking forward to is my favorite aunt and cousin from Canada are coming to spend the whole month at my house!!!! They always make my summer better and sometimes my aunt seems to be the only one to understand me. She does everything in her power to keep me happy and level-headed. Last summer she let Lisa and I stay with her despite barely being able to accommodate us, however she still did it because she knew I needed to get away from home. I appreciate all her efforts in my life and I am glad to have such a great aunt.
For some strange unexplainable reason I feel the need to discuss my recently added on my iTunes. This one is pretty long, about 30 songs! I downloaded the Nylon 2009 Summer Playlist. It was free and got me listening to new songs I would have probably never downloaded. I am really becoming a fan of the Tiny Masters of Today and La Roux. Also on my recently added list is Demi Lovato's new single "Here we Go Again" and Kid Cudi's "I Poke Her Face" (on repeat lol). Right now I'm in the process of downloading more playlists from Urban Outfitters' website. Free Music is fun!
After that we walked around store browsing for a while then went back to staten island to take photos. We took a lot of photos in Snug Harbor which I just discovered is a beautiful landscape. We took a bunch of photos that really came out cute. The next day Lisa, Jeanette, and I went to a concert at the Highline Ballroom.
