Whoa life!
Oh so much has happened since i've updated last.
My life has been a rollercoaster since the middle of November...So lets start there.
Turns out I put my two weeks in, and work agrees to it, but extends it indefinitely. After extending my two weeks notice indefinitely, they decide not to give me a christmas bonus becuase of my "lack of production." I flip out, quit, and haven't been back since. It was sad to say my goodbye's to everyone, but at the same time, my legacy in that place was long gone, so it was time that leave. I really couldn't belive he question my productivity though. I worked their by myself for 3 months over the summer, when i originally had between 3-5 at all times. I trained everyone, set up every system for fileing that place has, and i'm not productive enough. Whatever, forget you Dr. Kawa -- I hope you figure it out soon though, or you won't have much of a practice left.
The end of the Month saw a really awesome Thanksgiving break. I turned 21 and had a really awesome party the night before Thanks Giving. Andrew flew in, which made my week. Thanks Giving was excellent this year. I don't know what made it so special, but I had a very nice time. Good times with Family and Friends -- no complaints. The next night a few of my friends and a bunch of Justin's went down to Howl at the Moon, which was an amazing dueling piano bar in Ft. Lauderdale. I would explain a lot of the night, but after the first hour it's all kind of blury and would fill about 16 pages, i'll save you the trouble. It was an awesome night, that was followed by a miserable practice and football game the next morning. We ended up beating FIU in overtime -- which of course, made us Bowl eligiable.
After sitting and waiting for a week or so, we find out that we've been accepted to the Motor City Bowl in Detroit. Long story short, the University can't afford for the band to go on the trip -- So i get to go to chicago (which i leave for on Monday).
That's the long story short...
Things have been really rocky among all of this. My grades ended up just fine, but I have never been so stressed through the end of a semester. I was so past the point of caring, that I didn't study as well for my exams as i should have. The funny thing is, I actually studdied my ass off for my German exam, and bombed in, and studied not nearly as much for my others and did just fine. I bought Rosetta Stone -- hopefully it helps. It's actually a really amazing program. I've also decided that I really want to attend FSU for my masters. It's an excellent program, which my favorite Professor attended for his PhD (and he said he'd write me a letter of Recomendation), and I would love to follow in those footsteps. And an amazing group of my friends is up there as well. I really want this program to accept me. It's a good motivation for the next 3 or so semesters. WIsh me luck!
My relationship is so on the fritz its ridiculous. I'm doing my best to try to keep it, but the candle has been burning at both ends for WAY to long. I don't know how much I have left. I'm really trying though. I just... I think that's the most frustrating thing this last month. I can get through a semester, I can get through quiting my job, all of that is fine. But I can't fix my relationship... I miss my relaitonship Junior year of high school... big time.
It's been really amazing to have everyone home for the break thus far. Not a ton has happened, but what has happened has been fun. It's always good to have Andrew home. Rick, Mike, and Nick have been regulars so far which is excellent. I'm looking forward to the rest of the break with them when I get home. Leah just got home today, and she'll be home a lot longer then everyone else so I'll get to hang with her a lot as well. Kayla, Chelsey, her brother Mike, Alex Michael, Ben, Jo Jo... It's been a lot of fun having everyone around.
But the most exciting part of my winter break is usually my trip to Chicago. It'll be a much different trip this year. My cousin Katie will finsh her radiation treatment on the 24th, so that leaves two days of just my brother, myself, and my grandparents. This is actually really nice. But I just think this trip is going to me much more family oriented, not Chicago oriented. Again, this should be a nice change. But as I've stated so many times, I fall in love with that city more every time I go. I really think my future is there, but we'll see how life unfolds.
That's a really quick, and not very detailed story so far.
