everything and yet nothing all at the same time. how amazing.
been busy lately, as always. work sucks. school sucked but i withdrew for a lot of crap reasons that i don't really want to talk about. to make a long story short, i was taking the wrong classes to transfer to any program within tn, georgia, and even alabama. you know when you ask about alabama schools you're desperate. [that's not too nice. i know that.] i needed to keep the transferring to a southern school option open because i can get residency in loads of those places and that might be all i can afford. we shall see. college was supposed to be easy. not easy, maybe, but 4 years, in and out. i am not a stupid person. i just happen to find myself on the 5 1/2 year plan right now. how did this happen to me?
been looking for a new job. i don't get enough hours and the pay sucks where i am. problem is, i won't have a car for at least another 3 months because i don't get enough hours and the pay sucks. thus, i have to find a job within walking distance. this is no easy task, to say the least. there are a bunch of places around here, but none of them are hiring. i might have better luck once school lets out and every place needs people for summer. it'll be sad leaving blockbuster, though. it was the first place where i met any kind of real friends. oh, well. i'll live.
been missing home a lot, too. i miss the people i knew forever and had to leave. starting over fresh with no real friends and family to speak of is not easy. if i didn't have my sister here, things would really suck. i am thinking about doing all that i can to go back to ma for school after i finish up a 2 year degree here. that would be in the spring, i hope. i don't know where i'll go, we'll just have to see what i can afford. it would be nice to go back to wsc, but then again maybe not so much, anymore. it feels like the brief time i had there was part of another life. i had great people in that life, but now they all have a new life without me in it. that sounds really whiny or something, i know. that's not what it's meant to be, not at all. it's just that i have finally really grasped the truth that i left and things went on without me. it sounds so simple, but it's hard to accept and so it takes awhile for it to happen. i think maybe i need a new start, in a place where i can make a whole new life for myself. i have seriously slacked on my responsibilities these past few years. i am not a stupid person, i did well in high school, and yet i cannot handle college it seems. i need to start to grow up. maybe a new start is what i need to make that happen. who knows. if i hit the jackpot somewhere and brought up my grades beyond all reason, i could always go to nyu like i always wanted to. ha.
spent the last couple weekends doing mini-road trips with my family. it's nice to spend time with my mom. she really is a great person. we went up to bowling green, ky about 3 weeks ago. we did shopping and lunch and some other stuff. not too exciting. to be honest, the whole of ky is not that exciting-from what i can see. last weekend we drove down to lafayette, ga to see my mom's best friend from school. we spent the day with her in chatanooga, tn. we went to the i-max theater and the aquarium, and this amazing restaurant, the mellow mushrooom. such good food. and chattanooga is great. it exceeds nashville. by a lot. i would have to say that chattanooga and atlanta are my two favorite southern cities, from what i have seen. speaking of which, we also spent some time in atlanta. it was my 3rd or 4th time, but my family's first so i showed them around and stuff. it was gorgeous outside, the people were friendly, and atlanta was atlanta. i love that place. next on our list is either louisville, ky, memphis, tn, or shiloh battlefield. we also want to get out to the gatlinburg/pigeon forge, tn area and see the smoky mts.
i need suggestions. i want to plan a road trip for this summer. not too far, some place within a day's drive at the most. i've already seen enough of tn, georgia, and ky-so those are out. if anyone has any idea of where to go/what to do/what to see, leave a little comment. we could sure use ideas. this is a friend road trip. i also need a family trip, either road or plane. i'm thinking myrtle beach for that one...? or maybe just another trip up to ma...? who knows.
there's loads more, but this is enough. i have to take a shower and get to work, anyway. i considered not going, but i need the money and, besides, milan told me he would kill me if i didn't come in and left him alone with kyle. later gators <3
