oK OK OK, I realize it's been a while since I updated...I've been busy! Seriously, I'm not just trying to say that to make myself look like less of a lazy ass...
I made some friend about a month and a half ago and subsequently my social life has become interesting again, as opposed to stagnant. I'm not jumping into anything blind or head first so it's turning out to be pretty cool...my time is pretty much taken up by school and work anyway, there is quite literally not enough time in the day to get in trouble with... :-P Plus everyone's around the same age as me or older so we can go out drinking and do adult activities and I don't feel like I'm babysitting (like with K and her friends).
Oh, on a funny note, I finally tried coke. I don't like it. Nuff said. It's the nasal drip, it's disgusting, and it sorta stings and makes me feel like I've just come home from the dentist. I hate the dentist.
And Speaking of school, I've pretty much decided I want to get a degree that I actually want rather than something I think will push me up through the rat race. I'm getting a Secondary Teaching Degree (Kindergarten thru Middle School) and hopefully finding an internship at a Montessori school near me so I can get certified and start doing something that I like. I think I'd make a decent teacher if I didn't have the restrictions a public school teacher faces, hence Montessori Certificate.
I've actually almost got enough credits for an Associates degree, like 10 more credits...seriously I'm almost a Junior in college. That's good for me considering I pretty much skipped my first year of college so now it's catch-up with everyone else my age (Magnus, Lisa, etc, etc.) But now I'm not feeling as pressured because I WANT to go to school now for this particular degree.
I need another job, so I'm going by two places I know are looking today. I can't work 40 hour weeks, this is a given, but I think I could do with at least 15-20 hours a week. Hopefully I can save up enough money to move out the end of August. That's my goal. I'm tired of the shit, blah blah, you guys know. I love my parents, but I hate living with them and I'm sure they'd agree. We've come to a gentle understanding that as an adult I get on their nerves. :-P
Also, I would like to say that I truly hate the President, I would never actually think it was right to try and TELL someone what to do (that's an impossible feat right there) but for god's sake PLEASE vote this November.
