wow...yes...it's an entry from me... :)
ok..to make it easier on me, I'm going to break my vent down into categories (no significance in the order..)
School
It's over! yay! well..almost over...I have a bio test at 8:30 am Thursday and I'm trying to convince my myth teacher to let me make up a test, but I'm not sure about that one yet. I'm so glad that it's over. I hated this last semester. I hated all of my classes, I didn't apply myself at all, and my GPA is gonna suck, but it's over. Western Civ was by far my best class. I did pretty well on all of the tests, and the fact that he gave us all an A on the one that kept getting pushed back was really nice. The only homework I had, was a paper where if I did it, I got an A, if not I failed...and surprisingly, I did it. :) I hated sociology. The class was super easy, but he didn't test on the materials that he actually taught, and it was straight (boring) lecture...so I just stopped going. I'll re-take it with him next spring and get an A. Mythology sucked...mainly because of the teacher. I enjoyed the readings, but I know that I would've enjoyed them more if I wasn't forced to read them. She was the type of teacher that it was so nice that it was annoying. After a while, I just stopped going to that class too, but I think I can still get a relatively decent grade in it. Biology was the other one. Labs = wicked easy. Tests = wicked hard. For an intro level class, I thought it'd be a lot like I did in high school. Wrong! You could memerize the book and still do badly on his tests. Thankfully I'll have my lab grades to help with my overall grade. And also the fact he let us do a +10 points to the test grade review sheet for every test will help me too. Overall, I'm just so glad it's over. I'm going to miss the yahtzee games that lasted on average for 4 hours, but I need a break for a while. Next semester will be rough because I have my in class observation, 3 teaching classes, and geography (so random, I know)...I just can't wait to get my career going. I didn't plan on being at MCC for 3 years, but eith everything that's happened...I'm glad that it'll only take me 3 years.
Work
I just started at Lowe's yesterday. Well, technically I started almost a month ago, but the first week was Orientation, and then I didn't get hours all last week because the Human Resource guy is next to impossible to get ahold of. It's fun. I work with a few people I know, so it's nice having familiar faces in times of complete chaos, but I've also met so many great people there as well. It's rough work. It's outside lawn and garden which means whatever weather is outside, is the weather I'm stuck working in. Yesterday was cool, but with all the moving around I did, it was very nice working conditions. Today the weather couldn't make up its mind whether or not to rain. Grr..hood up, hood down, hood up, hood down. I'm so sore from all of the exercise. I love it though. I'm definitely gonna lose a few pounds working there...and maybe even make some muscle as well. :) I overheard one of the Team Leaders tell the Dept. Manager how I "busted my ass all day...and she wants me to stay outside to actually help get the work done..and NOT be on register anymore than I have to be" yay. I hate register. It's nice to have someone who wants to keep me around and help them...I feel like I actually get jobs accomplished where as on register I feel like I just stand around and do nothing. Tomorrow I get trained on register because it's mandatory, but instead of the 8 hours that's required...Taz and Ashley are gonna try to get me outside after like 3. :) $8 an hour is so much nicer than the $6.25 at FYE, and even though I miss how easy my job was, this is much better for me. It's only 8 minutes from my house and I can move up in the company in so many different ways (where as at FYE you're kinda stuck as sales associate/cashier.) I still have my jobs at MCC, but those are done for now...only Orientations to "look forward to" until next fall. I hate photo ID though...I hate the new system...I hope they just decide to keep me in the gameroom next semester...that's be awesome.
Friends
Oh boy. This is a crazy subject for me. Erica and I have gotten really close again lately. It's nice to have her back in my life again like she was. She's going through a lot right now, and so I'm just trying to be there for her. Danielle is a different story. I don't even know here anymore. Ever since she was in the hospital...she seems to be a very different person. I don't think she's any happier now than she was before. I think she even has more drama in her life. She's moving out...and to be honest I do't have any idea why other than it's uncomfortable for her to be here alone. She owes me quite a bit of money for fines I got when she wrote me a bad check...and I really need it right now. I was out of work for like 3 weeks and I don't want to get behind on my bills. It's not the money that hurt our friendship though, at least not on my side of it...it's just that when she put herself in the hospital..she completely changed. She just kinda stopped talking to me. It hurts. I miss her so much. But I don't feel as though there's anything else I can do. She wants to leave, so I'm not going to make her stay here. I just want my best friend back. :( I miss Tonja too. She finally got to see my apartment and I was sooooo excited to see her! She was so stressed when she stopped out here...I felt so bad. I'm hoping to be able to take her out around her birthday. I really miss hanging out with her. Maybe I'll be able to kidnap her for a few days this summer....but we'll see..and just as a side...my roomate Brandon is starting to piss me off too. He works full time and doesn't go to school at all. When it comes time to pay rent...he's always like a week late. He even makes me cover like $5-10 on his share of RG&E because he's too lazy to get change. God I'm sick of being a doormat. He's turning into an alcoholic and he's always spending so much on taking his g/f out to eat. He needs to get his priorities straight because I'm seriously thinking about replacing him. On a good note...Adrie is moving on the 1st! (hopefully sooner) and I cannot wait...it's gonna be so nice to finally have someone here to talk to besides my cat. :)
Family
My parents are almost completely moved out of Wolcott. I was kinda sketchy about visiting them at my sister's house, but she's not around much, and when she is...she's too tired to really complain about anything. She's finally realized how much of a loser Billy is, so she doesn't seem as psychotic as she used to be...so maybe we can actually work on having a decent sister relationship. My dad tore the outter lining of his stomach so moving has been difficult for him. And I feel so bad, but he's stubborn and wont go to the doctor until he has insurance again. At least he's not working right now because that's just more stress that he doesn't need. I'm so excited about Thursday. I get to have my parents, Dave, his parents, and who knows who else here for dinner. It makes me feel important to have that much family here at once. I just hope all goes well. :)
Davey
(save the best for last) :) Ok...well..this is the only thing in this entry that's really happy. :) Davey and I are doing great! Things were kinda rocky for a while towards the end of school cuz we were both so busy with our own schedules...but everything is fine now. The awards banquet was last friday and it was amazing. He showed up with a beautiful corsage and earrings for me to wear. He's always romantic like that. He looked so hot that night too! yowza! :) HaHa. I think he was just as excited about me getting an award as I was. He's so supportive. I love it. We took him to the club that night. lol. fun times. And because of it, I decided that I don't like Liquor Room...I think I would've had more fun at Pulse..hard to believe..I know. I had a fun time with Erica and Davey..but the club itself sucked. We all went to Jay's after for food and then home to fall asleep in each other's arms. (which was so nice...but at the same time I'm getting mad at myself for getting used to it because I hate it when he's not here.) I keep trying to get him to talk about moving with me..or what's going to happen when I do move...but every time I bring it up he changes the subject. :/ It's not for a couple years, but being that I plan on spending the rest of my life with him...so it's really starting to get to me. I guess all I can do is just enjoy what I have right now..and I'll see what happens.
Ok...well that's plenty enough for now...but who knows when I'll get around to updating again...so expect another long entry in a like 2 months :P
I hope all is well with everyone...xoxox
