the general update
so life is going pretty good for me right now.
- im currently taking my last 4 classes at accc and will graduate in may with my associates in communication. i know its not much especially since most of you are graduating with your bachelors. and yea it does kinda make me feel a little loser-ish that im 2 years behind. dont get me wrong - im so happy for all of you and you all worked so hard to deserve it. its just kinda the ultimate reminder that i screwed up big time. but i dont regret it and after everything that ive been through, im pretty damn proud to get through accc (and somehow not have killed anyone of those idiots they call my fellow students). ive applied to rowan and im hoping to get accepted into their public relations program. its one of the best in the country and is constantly winning national awards. this is definitely a "things happen for a reason" type of deal. while at bu, i was supposedly to be an international relations major but discovered a little late that i hate politics and the pettiness of the people that come with it. so, it took me a little longer than the average person to find my path but now that i did - i couldnt be happier.
- speaking of things that happen for a reason/are meant to be - nick and i are doing great. so great in fact that hes going to move in on march 31st. i really love him with all my heart and soul. am i 100% hes "THE one"? no but then again im not 100% positive that i believe in THE one. but hes a great guy who treats me fantastically. i look at the relationships of people around me and i wonder how i got so lucky. i have new neighbors across the way from me and theyre cool and all but holy shit do they fight. like literally physical punching and hitting and screaming at one another and cursing each other out. and they have a 15 month old daughter named mia who is the most precious thing ever. its so sad to see them like that and think about what that is doing to their son. granted nicks not the most driven person in the entire world but that doesnt always matter. if i make the bigger paycheck, and neither of us cares - thats all thats important. he supports me in everything i do and somehow has this great way of always making me feel better. so i push him to work harder and he helps me to calm down. its a balance and its working amazingly. if i hadnt messed up at bu and he hadnt had his little issue, then neither of us wouldve ended up at rams head and met to fall in love. hes the ultimate proof for my things happen for a reason philosophy. i love him and im so grateful that he loves me back.
- and for the week of march 31st - its seriously going to be the BEST week EVER!!! that monday nick moves in. then wednesday dominique is flying down bc on thursday april 3rd im turning the big 2-1!! finally!! and im soooo excited. especially bc nick, dom, alli and i are all going to see lifehouse on my birthday at the electric factory! me + my 3 fav people + my fav band + my 21st birthday = how could life possibly get any more amazing than that?? and then were going clubbing and drinking our asses off.... its gonna be so incredibly amazing and by far the BEST week EVER!! :-D
- i think that just leaves the job situation to talk about. i got a job as a preschool aide in tuckerton, which is where my mom works. she said that no one applied for the position so she let me know about it and they were thrilled to have me. i worked monday to friday 9a to 1p, except on fridays i leave at 11a because i have class at 12n. the kids are so adorable and im getting so attached. it can be a bit trying especially with the screaming. i generally walk out of there with a headache everyday. but i mean its 4 year olds... its almost kinda to be expected. and as for rams head - that place is such a fucking shit hole but i cant quit because i can tell them when i can and cant work and i sorta need that with the other job and the school situation. well see how it all plays out because dear god do i need to make MAD money this summer. although i am getting close to $2000 back in tax refunds plus that extra $600 in may. this capitalist society we live in... gotta love it, gotta hate it.
