Don't Say You Haven't Been Clued In (same as Xanga)
Don't say you haven't been clued in...
I decided I would actually update everyone on the generalities of my life...Given that I just keep writing vignettes and blurbs about what's going on... These are things everyone can know... So I don't want to hear the stupid things like "well I wouldn't know because you never told me." OR, "You protect everything and there are only three people that can read what's going on!" -Etc. -There are headings, titles, and little fun things along the way for easy navigation... I think this is the way I used to write on (xanga) here before two years ago. -I think I like it...
So... this week was crazy, and next week was well...it hasn't happened yet.
I keep thinking of things that I need to do because they haven't been done yet, but I don't have time to do them, and generally won't have time to do them until December 2006.
Perpetually Attending School
That's right, I started school four weeks upon being home from Kansas City and I'll be in school until a year later. -I haven't had a real break in seven months. Those breaks that people that are in school without school lurking over their shoulder... Yeah, I was sick with mono for the beginning of the semester, so for spring break I was either sleeeping or doing homework. -Then the first half of the summer I was doing make-up work on my incompletes from being blind the second half of the semester...Four days later I began summer session2 at community college, so I'm in the middle of six weeks of perpetual Anatomy&Physiological hell...During which the campus closed for two days for no apparent reason (had I known this was going to happen I would have gone away for a weekend from Tuesday-Sunday, but I didn't know that)...AND then my grandmother died so I didn't go to classes the next week... Which puts me...
Right Here.
Is It ____ OR ____ That is Upsetting You Most?
Delia, the Dell laptop went caput last Sunday as well...I tried to make her last until graduation in December, but then when I couldn't do anything I wandered around my mom's house whining saying, "my computer hates me...I don't have money for a new one..." etc, etc. -Until my mom said, "Are you really crying about your computer?" --That's right, if things are all going to die in one day, it might as well have been my grandmother and my computer. -My mom then reasoned everything out. It's not something that I just want anymore, it's something that I need in order to graduate... and low and behold, Monday morning I was buying a new computer.
...On Computers...
I now own a MacBook Pro. I had an iMac for all of high school, and then somehow I went PC for college. I'm glad I had a PC for college, it really enlightened me... I am not completely biased one way or the other, like I was in high school. Now the next thing is getting all of the stuff off of Delia and onto my new MacBook...
What's with that?!?!?!
That's right, this feature is making a come back in this entry:
Why did they change it from iBook or Powerbooks to MacBooks? --That's freaking ridiculous... I feel it looses it's coolness and it. I no longer feel empowered by saying "oh, I just got a new MacBook pro." ---It makes me feel nerd-like and horribly stupid...
In any case...
I also need to name the MacBook Pro... But then again, I didn't officially name Delia until I was in KC. It took four.5 years to name her...Hah! -Not to mention, that until I move to Bala Cynwyd in two-three weeks I need to go to church to get online with the new computer, or something, cause my mom refuses to get highspeed internet, and there's no place for a phone cord in the the computer which is rather annoying, however I move to wireless internet soon enough.
Moms House...
Here I am at my mom's house, on her old crappy computer, checking things cause despite the fact I have a lovely new laptop, I can only get wireless internet whenever it decides to... Right now would not be one of those times. -I have yet to go through my room, but granted theres no time because I'm in school til graduation... Minus the two weeks of "vacation" that I have from the 19th through the day we start classes at EU that's not really vacation time.
Moving...
So that's right, I'm moving to Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bala Cynwyd PA. it's 15 minutes from EU and 15 minutes from the city. It's a nanny job, if you will. This lady just went through a second divorce, she has four girls. Ages: 6,10,12 & 14. The oldest two have the first husband as a dad. The youngest two have the most recent husband. -This lady, her name is Tina is in the process of turning everything around for her girls. The second man she was married to, in the past year, he would come home drunk and not enforce any rules, etc. -She also had 7 cats that went through and tore up her house. She got rid of the cats and is re-finishing everything... Her house is a gorgeous stone house... Basically I get to move in there, after she re-does my room! --That's right, she is re-doing my room, and I have full creative reign over the colors and everything... it's on the thirdfloor, I have my own bathroom... I'm a princess that lives in a stone tower! -Is this not amazing!?!
So anyway, she basically only needs me to be available from 7:30-8:30 in the morning to get the kids off for school. That's it. -I have the rest of my day to do what I need to do. This works so well for the classes that I need to take to graduate... And then I have a full time job, that is only two days a week. -Doing the dance thing... So I'm really saving money and living somewhere, it's perfect! -And when I graduate, I guess I'll have to get another job for during the day cause I'll have entire days to myself...
Stability
I've finally reached a place of some stability for at least a year. I'm so happy and relieved for it... I'm just in transition. I'll get the daytime job when it gets closer to me graduating. -I have a consistent income for an entire year. -I have a place to live with room and board for a year. So I'm saving money to pay off loans. -I have a job in my field that I'm contracted to for an entire year. -Meaning I'm not going to feel the need to up and move as soon as I graduate. --I'm graduating. -Finally.
G-d has really blessed me with so many things, and I'm so thankful for it. - A lot of my close friends that mentored me, and my big sister are all moving to different parts of this country or to other countries... Which makes this transition sad and hard for me... But I'm happy for them; they're going to where G-d has called them. -My transition to a mission field is this lady who really wanted me to move in to be a positive influence on her girls... She heard youth leader, dance teacher, involved in church, and missionary and knew that I was the person she was looking for.
Bizarre Things...
The lady, Tina... Looks so similar to Teresa that it's simply uncanny the resemblance. -I had to take a double take when I looked at her. --But obviously she's not Teresa... Isn't it funny how things like that happen?
...And, Finally...
I have amazing friends on this side of the world that I am so blessed by, continually. Even if I don't see them all the time... I know that they're there for me, when I need them. It's a comfort to know that they're just a phonecall away, or a text message... Or I can just drop by their work, if I'm not busy to see them...I'm also being blessed by new friends that G-d has started bringing to my church. Friends with the same heart that I have, with the love of learning, but the heart for the Lord... That are not four years younger than me... They have lived, and I can actually relate to them on adult levels. (this has probably been my biggest frustration about being at home, home from KC). I'm not sure about what I'm doing at my church when I move... But we'll figure it out once I decide if the drive is worth it all the time...
I've also gone back to chillin and being just one of the guys... and that's a lot of fun and a lot less drama... I missed the tomboy days, and you can just be yourself with the guys...
I am blessed!
The end.
