Thursdays Make Me Happy
I've got to stop posting so early in the morning! It makes me look pathetic and crazy because I have to work tomorrow. At least you know the truth...
As I mentioned on Monday, I was not very happy at the start of this week. Nearly two hours before I wrote that post I found out that I was "fired" from my position at my school job via email. I was very unhappy because I was not let in on the decision and told nearly a month late. Everyone told me that I was not told right away because Doc did not want to "ruin my summer" and knew I wouldn't take it well. I would have been fine had I been told before the others on staff - then it would have been more of a situation where everyone agreed with the decision. I lost the right to step down, I guess, and that hurt my pride. My friends agree with me on that matter. It shouldn't have happened the way it did. So, when we get back to school we're going to say it was a group decision. It's not lying! My friends defended me when they talked with Doc PLUS I agree with the decision, even though it was dealt with poorly.
Still, I was more upset because someone found out (that shouldn't have) before me. Monday night I got to talk to Andrew (the person that took my place) and he helped me feel better about the whole situation and explained what happened. Anyway, long story short, I still have my job but I am no longer in charge because I get "so stressed out" during the school year. I say whatever to stress. >:| <--face, haha
HAPPIER TOPIC!
I got to work a ton this week! Wait... that's not happy... Well, yes it is. I get money for working AND I get to experience lunch time at day care tomorrow - woot! The bad part is that most of my day is spent working and I have little morning free time. Welcome to the real world, I guess, haha.
Another thing that happened this week is that my friend, Casey, went to my favorite summer place EVER: LSM (Lutheran Summer Music - there's a link on my personal blog). It's a month long music camp and you are surrounded by other nerds and it's a wonderful time. I miss it pretty bad. This is my second year of not going. Last year was much worse - I was a weepy mess the whole weekend before it started. This time I only teared up once and it was a happy memory. So, I am very happy that she is having a good time but very sad I cannot be there. I am seriously thinking of applying to be a counselor or intern there next summer. I wanted to this summer but my parents held me back for various reasons. I wish they hadn't and I wish I had the guts to go for it. Next summer I will be more independent. I will pay for a plane ticket if I must (and that might be the easiest/cheapest bet, lol).
Money is so annoying. I wish we could still barter and trade. I would be like,
"Hey, flute man - if you cut the price of that new flute I want in half I will give you the reduced price plus my two old flutes, my guitar, my piano AND my trombone for it."
"Sure, Megan! Nice trade! I've always wanted a beat up trombone with a leak!"
Except... it wouldn't be a nice trade. I would be paying and giving much less than the actual price. But his love for that crusty trombone would be worth so much more to him... If only. This would also work for paying for college, food, anything you want. I try not to be too materialistic but I REALLY want a new flute. No joke. The one I have now is... oh gosh, it's almost seven years old. :( It's clanky and... I want a new SHINY flute!

You can all decide if my second go at Ian's challenge counts or not. I think it should. ;)

PS: When we get to school I have a horrible feeling it will be harder to find time to video edit. It would be like, theory homework OR video editing... hmm... I wonder which would win?

- What was your best or worst family vacation ever? Why?
My best BIG family vacation ever was when my entire family (around 20 people) went to Branson, MO (it doesn't get more exciting than that...) and stayed for a long weekend. That was with my entire paternal side.
With just my parents and I, I suppose it would be Disney World when I was seven (in... 1995?) We stayed at the awesome Disney All-Star resort and the housekeepers organized my stuffed animals on my bed and it made me really happy - I left them a note. But we got to go to Blizzard Beach and I got sick from the water but it was still a lot of fun. Good times with my parents... - What is your favorite glue and why?
I thought about it and I decided GLUE STICK is my favorite glue. Versatile - used for construction paper, cards, letters, etc... And it dries clear! ;)
