(no subject)
I want to be super productive but I don't have much to do. I worked yesterday, finally. The kids were decently well (Davis was in trouble when I got there and I had to enforce his punishment which kind of sucked but for the most part, he listened to me) so that's good. I may work today or tomorrow, I'm not sure about either yet. I want to work as much as possible, even though working kind of sucks, getting paid doesn't suck and I need to make as much money as possible.
Speaking of money, something may be happening in the future which could be really really good for me. Sad and bittersweet, but good nonetheless. It won't be for a while though, if at all, so we'll have to wait and see.
I'm going to lunch with my big sister in a few minutes. I'm excited to see her. I realize everytime I'm with her how much she means to me and how very lucky I am to have her (as well as other people) in my life. She's also very honest and tells me the truth about everything, whether I want to hear it or not. She's good at reading situations. She's made me a lot of the person I've become today and I will be forever grateful for her.
I read a good book, Running with Scissors. I'm debating if I should watch the movie or not. I want to read another good book but the one I started isn't as good. It's a totally different type of book though so I think I just need to read more before I give up on it, if that's what I end up doing.
I got really excited just now. So the plan is for next semester (not spring but fall '10) is that Ellesse and I will be getting an apartment together up in Storrs. I'm so excited. I don't know if I can actually afford this at all, but I'm going to do my very best to make this work. I'm kind of tired of living on campus, as much as I love having my own room. I'll have my own bedroom in the apartment we'll be sharing. She'll have her own room, and then there's a living room that's a decent size, a kitchen and bathroom of course. I'm so excited to potentially live in my first apartment. Ellesse is a lucky bitch because her first apartment was in NYC (which is my DREAM but won't be happening just cause it's not geographically doable while I'm in school, obviously). This also makes me decently lucky too because, well, she has EVERYTHING for an apartment. Like, I don't even need to buy a bed. She has it. All the kitchen stuff, she has. Lamps, table, she has. It's going to be a crappy college apartment, but we're going to make it home. I really hope I can live with her. Not because there's anything wrong with her, but I've lived with a friend before and as we all know, it did not work out. But, we were in a very small place together, all the time, with the same classes and no separation. We also weren't as good of friends as I had thought. I know Ellesse waaaay better and have spent days with her. We'll have enough space. We're also close enough that we can sit in silence and do nothing together, but still be perfectly ok. So I think this will work out. I really hope so. I'm so excited to have my first sketchy apartment. We might even have a deck!!!
I need to start making stuff. I got an awesome sewing book from my aunt for Christmas and I want to start some projects in it. The only problem is there's no place to buy fabric around here, so I'm waiting till I get back up at school. And I'm buying a BIG bin to keep all my sewing stuff in, fabrics and supplies. I'm not sure I want to be a designer per say; I don't think I have enough talent for that. But I love the idea of making my own clothing and I'm going to practice practice practice till I get it down. Or as much as possible. (sewing gets expensive, fabric can be cheap but not always depending on what kind it is).
Oh, and I really, really really really miss Jose. I haven't heard from him but I'm guessing his phone finally died. He ordered a new one, which is probably waiting at his house, but that won't do him any good seeing as though he's in Canada. I just wish I'd hear from him. Sigh. I am however very excited to see him next week (I think that's when he said he was coming). I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving.
I could probably ramble on for a while longer, but I'm leaving in 15 minutes to go to lunch and this has gotten way longer then anticipated.
