Avoiding school work...
Spring break is over. This is bad because I didn't get nearly enough school work done; I was too busy being sick and sleeping 15 hours a day. But...this is good because it starts the after spring break countdown to the wedding! 74 days by my countdown, 75 by Colin's. We figured it differs depending on whether or not you count the day of the wedding. I keep having wedding dreams, all of which are in a setting not where things will really be happening. In the last one, we got married in my grandparents' living room. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice living room, but not quite big enough for 300 people. The other day I had the realization that after the wedding I won't be able to look forward to it anymore. Deep, I know. It's important that I soak up every moment of that day because there won't be another like it (though I guess you could say that about every day...).
I made it through both of my wedding showers. Don't get me wrong, I was excited for them, but situations with many gathered people make me anxious, especially when they're all there looking at me. I suppose I should get used to that for the wedding, though at least the attention is shared. The first shower was for my side of the family and it was 2 weeks ago. It wasn't as awkward as I expected and the cake my aunt made was beautiful. She spent 6 hours on it! The second shower was this past weekend. There were a lot more people, some I didn't really know. They asked me to stand up and introduce my mom and the wedding party. I highly dislike talking in front of a crowd, but it was alright. They could have made me do a lot worse. The games were fun. I enjoyed the one where we had to answer questions about each other. It was interesting to see what we knew and what we didn't. Some of the questions I didn't even know about myself! Like favorite superhero...the first thing that came to mind was Spiderman, so I assumed he's my favorite, interesting!
Things are more positive on the job front. I gave up too soon on the Union Township job. I heard through the grapevine that I made it through the first cut. Now only if they would call me! I check my phone a lot, but Kevin says I need to not expect anything and then they will call. I'm trying but it's hard. I also applied for a similar position in Hobart, but they say on the website that they want someone with a license, which I don't have and don't really plan on getting, so we'll see.
Also, my rant about my English class is another example of me freaking out too soon and not giving things a chance to be okay. He gave me an A- on my first paper, which is amazing since it is an English class and I am not a major and it said on ratemyprofessor.com that he's a hard grader. Also, I got my midterm back today...I got a 97! I wasn't expecting that, though I do get this feeling he has a crush on me. Desiree said she gets the same feeling, so either we're his type or he just gives off that vibe. I think we've finally come to an understanding. He doesn't call on me as much because he sees that I know the stuff, I simply don't like to talk in class.
My life continues to amaze me, especially when it comes to school. If the trend can continue, I should just complain about how I won't get that job and everything is unfair and I hate how those in power try to make me feel small. Wah wah wah, oh wait, you want to give me the job? Oh, alright. You sure? Okay...
