(no subject)
Ive been doing nothing but working all day long (except for today, when I went in at 12 noon or so---only a 5 hour day.. it seemed SO short when that used to be a long day when I was working during the school year. I guess I thought I should put some sort of update on here for yall to read.
On Sunday I did Adopt-a-Highway for APO..which I am now the service chair for, so it was like, my first real my-version of service. Ha! It was cool though. I found a winning lottery ticket someone just chucked on the side of the road. I have to go get it cashed in whenever I feel like it. There was only 3 people who was there, including me. It was overall pretty good, we found numerous cans and such which is helping me build my pop-top collection at some point I hope to go to the charity (I think its Ronald McDonald House) that sponsors it, only like,carrying in several thousand. I have one of those Pumpkin head halloween baskets and im trying to fill it up. If you would save some for me, that would be wonderful.
I've been wanting to go to the Foxridge pool for some time now, hoping that it would somehow bring the memories of Headlands beach back to me.. unfortunately there is no beach in Southwest Virginia, minus the dirty one at Claytor Lake and while we do have the river, it just isnt the same. I am going to go up there when I come to Ohio at my as yet unknown date (likely around the 4th of July) I wont be up for my 22nd birthday as I have already vowed to spend it on a bar crawl with my ever so awesome coworkers Erin and Cindy (and maybe some Michelle and Jill if I can get them to sign on). But then, we are planning on going the weekend after my birthday, so maybe I will be in Ohio. I am not sure yet.
Otherwise i've been good. I think with a job and being busy I dont get caught up in the fact that im still lonely. Maybe I do it so I dont have to think about it and can avoid a shithole of a season like last summer. I still think about J alot, probably more than I let on to him, but everytime we talk I get excited like, well, yea.. you get the point, but lately our talks have become less and less energetic and such and mainly contain small talk, and that sucks. To me it only reads as one thing, that online talk is boring and I have to go to Central Ohio more often in the fall. But maybe he is going through something too, I dont know. I do miss talking to him like I did last summer, even if our talks were concerning something utterly ridiculous.
I was at work today and finally got all the full transcripts from Michelle's section of the alphabet (Has-Ma) which is a huge fucking set of files. We are just starting to get final transcripts in, and Wanda needs all the road cards for the HS class of 2007 entered so we can send out our rising senior mailing, and thats a shitload of roadcards. So yea.. its crunch time. I'll show up at 7am just for shits and giggles, because I do like to be there when i'm needed. Plus without my friends being in SWVA, I almost look forward to going to work (after I get my precious sleep in of course---ah, im so la(me)zy.
One thing that was good today was that I got a card from thing young man who was doing a class project and requested information. I think I remember him asking questions like "Can students work for the University" and basically indicated that he was in the same position as I was--into the same things I am, so I was like, yea.. im totally handwriting this kid a letter and sending him everything we have. This is what I got back. Precious.
