Here's the update I promised.
Okay, so currently, I am sitting here finishing up breakfast (the heavenly combination of peanut butter and honey on a bagel, of course)and trying to think of ways to convince my mom not to make me go to Kaplan in two hours and take a four hour "practice SAT." I mean, c'mon. The point of these things is to get you, the Kaplan student that is, to use the stradegies taught in class in a timed situation [very] similar to that of the actual SAT. With that in mind, I've already endured three of these practice tests PLUS I've taken the actual SAT. I know what the test is going to be like! I've gone to every Kaplan class (three times a week for the past month), I've done all the homework and practice quizes, and I've already decided I will continue to do SAT-prep work into August, September, and so forth. WHY, THEN MUST I SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT OF YET ANOTHER GRULING FOUR HOUR TEST?! It's just plain cruel I say! Life must hate me; that is the only explanation...
Ha, whatever, I wholeheartedly realize that once I get up from here I will exercise, shower, get dressed, go to Kaplan, take the friggin' test, come home and admit that it wasn't that bad and that will be that. But just know my friends that I will, by no means, be doing so happily and/or with a smile on my face [and a song in my heart].
Oh yeah, I'd like to mention that I am finally employed (well, again)! I, Amanda Ilene Glazer, will be working at, yes that's right, TOYS 'R US! Ha, basically, I went for an interview tuesday, was more or less hired right then, and was told yesterday to come today at four for "orientation." I'm hoping this all works out, and I don't hate the job.
I know me, and if I hate it, I won't be able to stick with it. However one thing is on my side if it turns out to be "lego hell" - with so many kids going back to college, lots of places are/will be hiring (ie getting another job should be easy). I'm not going to start talking about this now, though. I haven't even started and I'm already plotting my plan of action if I end up quitting.
Hm, this entry is getting long, but there is actually a decent amount more I can think of to write (this is a first!). I guess I'll refrain, though, because no one likes long, drawn out journal entries (and by no one I mean me). As my final note, however, I will mention that tonight I'll be going into RVC to celebrate Vanessa's birthday and I'm pretty excited for it. I haven't seen a lot of the people who are going to be there since school ended (including Vanessa herself, actually), and so getting to see them tonight should be pretty nice.
Okay, well I really do need to go. For the record, I'm hoping to head out a little early this morning so I can stop at Starbucks and get a nice little caffeine boast off of an iced coffee before SAT Preparatory Hell. So I guess this is goodbye folks...STAY FLYYYYY!
