it's been a while since i've written, way too long actually... i'm sure a lot of crazy things have been happening but i really can't think of what. i got my grades, and i did pretty well, so that was cool. i really just can't stop thinking about how i'll be in a different country in a few weeks. less than 3 weeks i'll be in spain, what the fuuuck. i guess im excited, but im not sure how i should be feeling... im not nervous either, but i will be soon im sure.
so im just sitting here at work, and rather than doing my DataTrax shite i've decided to type this up. so i leave january 31st. if you want to hang out before i leave forever, let me know and we'll chill. i am really gonna miss everyone, home and school. im going to stop saying everything thats implied. i guess ill just write more later. and by later, i mean like, probably not until i get to spain or the night before... you guys have my cell, so call me.
Check out the Keefe 580 site i made... it's pretty sweet. later fellas.
Peace.

| School Is Over... |
[28 Dec 2004|04:37pm] |
ok so school is done for the semester, and i feel like it's done pretty much for the year, because of two reasons. i am not going back to wheaton next semester, and im not gonna see a lot of people again. i've sort of gotten over not living with the guys and all that, but things are still going to be strange. yesterday was tim's 22nd birthday, and i'll probably se him around new years, because he is coming down and staying with dan.
i dont really have too much to say, but i hope things are going well with everyone. for everyone in watertown, let's hang out, because i leave for spain Jan 31st. aiiiiiiiight. later kids.
Peace.

so this semester was amazing. i met so many great people, and now it's pretty much over. i started thinking today about how sad im going to be leaving all my friends. i can't wait to see my friends from home, and actually get to chill with everyone who i havent seen in a while. but im just so upset leaving everyone here.
its like, i leave on monday. and then i feel like i wont see anyone for so long. luckily i get to see rose on the 20th. im real upset that piper is leaving too. pipes is the fucking man, and im so glad he got in GCs. i think without him, things would not have been nearly as fun. and tonights gonna be the last time we chill with him. he transfered here from michigan, and he's going back.
im not as nervous about leaving tim cullen and jeremy cause i know i'll see them during break, and before spain. but its still really sad. it was so much fun living with all of them, and i feel bad leaving, but i know its something i gotta do. and i know whoever replaces me has some big shoes to fill. hellz yeah. wfiowuwhefhoiwehf im gonna miss these guys.
ill probably write more later. but im suprised i even remembered i had this thing. i guess i only use it when i need someone/or something to vent to. i cant wait to see buddy. but im glad things are going here. ahhhh. i gotta stop.
Peace.

i just got this email from Dean Sue.
It is with deep sorrow that I inform you of the death of Alla Katsnelson '04.
Alla died on Thursday, September 23. Many of her Wheaton friends gathered in
the May Room on Saturday evening after hearing this news. Her close friends
have written this obituary:
Alla was born in Russia, July 9, 1982. She moved with her family to America at
age 12 and settled in Burlington, Vermont. She graduated from Burlington High
School, class of 2000, and Wheaton College, class of 2004. She majored in
International Relations and minored in Russian studies. Alla worked in the
Alumnae/i Affairs office for four years and this past summer after her
graduation. She was a Commencement Reunion Volunteer for three years. She was
a preceptor, a manager for the synchronized swimming team, and a participant in
the Relay for Life. Alla relocated to Somerville, MA in September, living with
friends and working at Temple Israel.
Everyone who met Alla was enchanted by her vibrant and fiery spirit. She was
always considerate of the emotions of others and supportive to those around
her. Her favorite color, red, perfectly represented her vivacity. She had a
strong passion to learn and was not afraid to say what was on her mind. Alla’s
exuberant energy was exhibited through her dancing, her fashion, and her
ability to live life to the fullest.
She will be buried on Wednesday in Vermont in a private service. Friends and
family will honor her at an open memorial service at Wheaton College on Friday,
Oct. 1 at 12 p.m. in Cole Memorial Chapel. Donations may be made to any cause
of choice.
Condolences may be sent to Alla's parents, Marina and Boris Katsnelson, 55
Pleasant Avenue, Burlington, VT 05401
i still cant believe this. it sucks, bigtime.
Peace.

the next couple of days are going to be really rough, even aside from the loads of work i have to write. this really sucks.
on thursday morning around 6:30, alla left for work. she hadnt been seen since, and today at 3pm, tim called me (he went down to boston, because no one could find her). he told me she was dead. it still hasnt hit me. im gonna miss her. For those of you who didn't know her, she was an amazing person. She just graduated from Wheaton last year, and moved to boston. aw;oiefhowaihfeowiahfoiwahf.
RIP Alla, I love you.
Peace.

so lately, things have been going really good, and im very glad to be back here. the food really is the only thing i have a problem with, but tomorrow chase opens so lets hope things arent still sucky. i can't deal with that much longer.
this song is great.
the first rehearsal for "he said she said" is tonight. im not an actor, so im nervous, and im not sure if i have time to do it. i dont know if i have time to do it though, so i emailed dean jack and let him know what i was thinking about it. its like precepting ALL DAY and then he said she said for a few hours each night, when am i gonna find time for GCs? during orientation is when he said she said really picks up, and then we start GC practices, and i'll have to do those both while juggling precepting and orientation resposibilities. lets hope it all works out. im going to lunch with jeremy now though, lets hope the food doesnt really suck. im tired though, i could use a nice nap.
Peace.

[24 Aug 2004|10:22am] |
Well im here early at wheaton, i got here on saturday. kevin and my dad helped me unpack, oh and durley too, he was a big help. anyway, since saturday at 5, there's been so much precepting shit happening. i've already met a bunch of cool people, so thats good. but im not very good with names, so i feel bad when people say "hey joe" and i dont know their name. there's like 40 of us so thats a lot of people. hmm..
im not exactly a huge fan or emmerson right now, the food is worse than it ever was with sodhexo. hopefully things will change when the schoolyear actually starts back up.
my suite is awesome, so far its me, tim (we each have singles) and jeremy (who's sharing a double with cullen). cullen should be getting here today.
jeremy is a preceptor too, and we're getting along really well. and that's really cool, cause he's the person i knew the least.. he's the man.
so im gonna jam in my room for a little bit, then grab a bite to eat. feel free to drop me some lines, or send me an email!! jbarbato@wheatonma.edu. yeah.
Peace.

i just got back, warped tour was awesome, and a great time with shea and ben. and i just recieved the best email, from sarah.
a. oh man
b. oh man
d. FUCK THE KEY OF C
e. hope you're ok
f. feel free to not be friends with me anymore, for
g. subjecting you to such a bullshit key.
h. (h being the beginning of the non-music part of the alphabet,
i. which is fitting because the key of c should be banned from music--
j. with no flats or sharps, it gets hugely overused,
k. which leads to boredom...and daydreaming.......and
l. accidents, even to good drivers).
m. i must ask: which song was it?
n. i'm having a little yes-i-did-quite-like-that-car funeral in my head
o. oh yeah i found your e-mails in my sent mail.
p. don't know why the hell i checked there.
q. or why the hell there were there in the first place.
r. thus i can now respond to some things you said:
s. i would much rather be getting SINGled out than honked at.
t. found out recently that:
u. about half the honking is from white unmarked taxis wanting you to ride,
v. but that leaves another half.
w. i can only hope for a tritone horn... and maybe a ninth for special occasions
x. they're painting white dashes down the middle of the main road
y. yup you guessed it, another...then another...just alot slower;)
z. maybe you're thinking that the end of the alphabet means the end of this
aa. nope. not even.
bb. tones are not singing at orientation...we said no thanks weeks ago i believe
cc. your most most recent e-mail is nowhere to be found
dd. not even in sent mail...
ee. but i did read it once
ff. and i do remember one thing especially.
gg. i currently have no access to a fire extinguisher but i'll see what i can do
hh. take care putmyfireout
ii. i must go
jj...(o)kk,
wavelength
(i'm hungry so i thought some alphabet soup would be in order...just like the
good old days. come on, i know you've missed it all this time)
Peace.

everyday i wake up, there are at least 3 people in my house catering to my mother's every move. then they ask, why don't you help your mother? because there's 57 hundred people at my house a day helping her. if people weren't here, of course i would. and when people aren't, i do. they shrug it off, and think im being selfish and lazy.
today i got up early to go to the warped tour thing, and im supposed to leave in a half hour. my grandmother (one of the patrons who's slaving around my house, curousey of my mother) woke me up at 10:30 to tell me something about showering, cause i left a note on the table saying i was going. i can harldy understand her when ime wide awake, nevermind pretty much asleep.
Peace.

yesterday i went to see butterfly boucher, and she was amazing. after she performed, gavin degraw went on, he was the main act, but i didnt find it very interesting. butterfly came out of her trailer, and i went up to her, and got a picture with her. i was blinking when the picture was taken, but i was still pumped.
today i got an email from sarah and i was glad to hear from her, and it was even better to know that she's doing well. i also got another email from Dean Jack, saying i was nominated to do "he said she said" which is awesome. it's hillarious to watch, so im glad i get to do it. it's pretty much helping kids adjust to college by skits and stuff. although i will have to act, hmm. yeah. oh well, it's gonna be great.
today i went to the doctors to get a physical, and at the end of it, i got a PPD, a teburculosis (TB) shot. it wasnt like a regular shot. this nurse came in, and she explained it to me. She injects this bubble of something under my skin on the underside of my forearm, and the bubble stays when she takes the needle out it's pretty fucking cool. anyway, i have to go back on monday to get it read by one of the nurses to make sure i dont have it. then, i'm all set, and i can go to spain!! well second semester at least. im out.
Peace.

sometimes my friends feel like shit. they all decide to go away, and didnt even mention it to me... then i hear people want to go to florida, and they were just talking about it right infront of me, which i didnt think was cool, at all. i just get frustrated. i try hard to include them in whatever i do, not like i do much, but i feel like they could have at least asked if i was interested, or at least planned something interesting for the week. aowiehfoaiwhefoiawhfe. ahhh this is why i want school to start.
on a better note, i think im getting a new phone today.
