Things have been really crazy lately. I've worked like 17 days straight, and I don't have a day off in sight until labor day weekend. Work is going good. On Friday we had a car show at work, from 11-2. People from DOW and Brose also joined in because they are our 2 neighbors next to us at work. We got free lunch, Verizon wireless came out and they were giving away free ice cream, 94.7 was there playing music, and we had a dunk tank for the executives. We had company tshirts made, and the winners of the car show got prizes. There might be a chance that I get to go to Muncie, IN for work soon. It would be pretty crazy, I'd leave on our company plane out of Pontiac. So yeah, things are going good, just really really busy all the time. I've been working on a big project for Audi, and it's so awesome how I get to see top secret stuff before it even comes out haha. I'm trying to stick it out at the Depot but I don' t think i'm going to be able to last until December. When I get my tuition money back from Summer semester, I might put in my 2 weeks. Oakland raised tuition $500 for fall semester, so I'm really pissed. It would be nice to get 2g back in January from my tuition reimbursement, but with class and working at my other job, I don't think I will be able to keep my grades up as high as i would like them if I stay at Depot.
I've also been babysitting a lot, for 2 families that pay me really really well. Last Wednesday I was babysitting out in St. Clair shores, and on the way home at 3am I got a flat tire on 94... first flat tire i've ever got so of course i don't know how to change it. I called my parents crying and my mom was freaking out telling me to stay in the car and lock the doors because anything south of 16 mile rd is "bad." I ended up driving off the expressway on a flat tire so no creeps would stop and try to help me. And since then, i've been back to Discount Tire twice, and now I gotta go back a third time... don't even get me started on that ordeal...
Tonight is my final for Stats II. I have a 99% in the class, and right now i'm setting the curve in the class.... So i didn't really study for the final at all because I'll still probably end up with a 4.0 no matter what I get on the final. I got an email yesterday about graduation in December. It seems unreal. I'm totally scared about going out and getting a real job, I just don't want to fail. But at the same time, I'm so excited for all the things that come with a real job. And I can't wait to buy a house or a condo. Growing up sure does change your mind about things. The 10g I have saved to put down on a bimmer, might now be a downpayment for a condo. And instead of buying a bimmer next spring, maybe i'll get something cheaper like a g6 coupe. My plans are to live at home for a year once I graduate and get a real job, and then save a whole year's salary so i pay off my new car, and have a good chunk of change saved for new living arrangements. But yeah, I am totally geeked for my last semester at OU, and then i'll be able to save a ton of money since i won't be forking out so much money every semester for tuition.
Hmm what else... Josh and I have been fighting a lot lately. It really gets me down... I really do love him so much.
I get to play softball this Friday!! Althought I will probably be dead tired since I will be working both jobs, then the game is at 9:30pm. I wish I had time to be on a team, instead of just subbing when I'm not working.
I got done babysitting really early today, so now i'm just sitting around til class tonight. I should do some errands but i think i'll take a nap before class.
