Busy busy busy

Hey all.
I have blogged in a few weeks ( =O ) but i'm here now.

These last 2 weeks have been SO busy. First, I started school. Then I had to work basically everyday after school (it's terrible). And then this weekend, I went on a mini-vacation to Mears, MI for a BBQ Competition with my family. AHH. I need to calm down and relax. I feel like i've been rushing everywhere these past weeks.

Anyways, yes, I started school finally. I'm in to my 3rd week. I already have a decent amount of homework which i'm incredibly angry about. But technically, I usually only have homework in 2 classes (physics and pre-calc)...of course. I strongly dislike science and math with a fierce passion. It's just not my thing.

Work work work. Last week I had to work Mon-Thursday 4-closing because I was taking Saturday off (to go on my vacation) and I had to make up my 8 hours. But thankfully, i'm going back onto my old schedule from now on and i'll have more days when i'm home and can get my homework done early.

Mears, MI. I love me some Silver Lake. That's where we went this weekend. They started a BBQ Competition/Apple Festival 3 years ago (we've been to all 3 so far), and it's a ton of fun. They have great bbq food and music and great activities and it couldn't be located in a more beautiful part of MI. Although, weather somewhat put a damper on it. Friday was nice. It was cloudy but thankfully no rain. Yesterday, though, we spent a few hours staying inside because it was raining out. But after about 2 in the afternoon, the rain let up and we got to walk around and look at the craft tents and watch the BBQ Competition winners. It was a good time. I wish I could have stayed up there longer...but unfortunately, I have school and work. :(

OHH! And other great news.....I BOUGHT A LAPTOP TODAY (i'm typing this on my new baby as we speak....). It's beautiful. It's a HP Pavilion. It came with a printer/scanner and a sweet Swiss Gear laptop backpack. It was a great deal. I'm so happy. :):):):):)

Well, I better be off to bed.

This weekend/today

So, there really isn't any new news with myself.

Except that I STARTED SCHOOL TODAY. My final year as a high schooler is already underway. I can't believe it's already here.

But before I go onto my school day, this weekend was seriously the laziest weekend of my life. I wanted to veg out as much as possible the last few days before I went back to school. So I definitely did. I did, however, do some much needed shopping on Monday. I bought: 3 lovely shirts, 1 oversized fleece blanket (LOVE IT), 1 pair of blue polka-dot sleeping shorts, 1 WWF tote bag where $2.00 from the purchase of the bag is donated to the World Wildlife Fund, 1 pair of capri pants, and 1 messenger bag for school. All in all, i'm pretty happy with my purchases.

Yesterday was spent watching re-runs of the Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency show. Talk about tough love. She tears most of her models to shreds. I would be crying all the time if I were one of her models. Yikes!

Okay, back to school. I suppose my classes a good. I've got lunch with people I know (thank God!) and I think it'll be a good year. Although, thanks to the LOVELY MICHIGAN WEATHER, it was about 98 degrees today (I checked on my car)! So classes were stiffling hot and I just wanted to take a long nice cool shower when I got home. But I couldn't, because now i'm at work.

Tomorrow's suppose to be cooler though....so pray for lower temperatures!!!!

My Car/Last night

I love my car.

I've had it for lets see...4 months? Jeeze, it seems like i've had it WAY longer.


^That's my car (and some houses on my street). My 2009 Toyota Corolla S. I'm so proud of it. :-)

I actually need to wash it today. It's pretty dirty. And vacuum too. I hate having those little pebbles all on the mat. I think I have car OCD or something. It always needs to be clean.

Last night was interesting. My friend and I hung out. Well, my friend and I have somewhat of a "history". A whole lotta junk happened 2 years ago and well, now we're pretty good friends despite all of it. (I know...i'm stupid. I'm WAY too forgiving). Well, last night was fun and all, but when he brought me home, all's I can say is: awkward. He said that he was "conflicted" and I was just like, "Please, don't be. I don't want what happened 2 years ago to happen again." ALL IN ALL, it was bad. And so now, i'm not going to talk to him, much. BECAUSE, I refuse to go through what happened 2 years ago ALL OVER AGAIN.

Well, I think i'm gonna go wash my car now.

Friday's

Today is Friday.
The last Friday before i'm back in school.

Today's weather is also very crappy. I woke up around 9 and wanted to go for a nice walk, but I looked outside and the ground was all wet. So I thought, I'll wait a little bit and see if it clears up. Well I did, but unfortunately, wet and a bit cool turned into humid and 84 degrees. Which is sad because I really wanted to walk but I really hate when it's hot out. So I guess i'll do it tonight with my Mom.

My friends coming over in a little bit and we're going to try and find college scholarships. I can't believe how expensive some of these colleges are. I'm gonna be in dept my whole life! Hopefully we can find some scholarships and apply and hopefully win and get money. That would be just lovely.













That's totally me right now because I start school on Wednesday. That means lots of studying, homework, and tests. I'm really not happy about that. My first semester shouldn't be all that hard though. Here's my schedule. Bolds my first semester classes and italics are my second.

1. Altern. Jewelry
Government
2. Nutrition-Foods 1
College Writing
3. Western Civilization
Contemporary Reading
4. Economics
Pre-Calculus
5. Physics
Physics
6. Pre-Calculus
Nutrition-Foods 2

So I guess it's an OK schedule. I suppose it'll be fun. I don't know. Guess i'll have to see when I start Wednesday. :(

p.s. : i'm having SO much trouble with this text being bold when it's not suppose to and the font being tiny when it's not suppose to! AHHHHH i've been trying to fix it for the last 20 minutes!!

Work

I'm at work.

Good 'ol work.

I get off in approx. 1 hour and 43 minutes. I've been here since 9 am.

Today hasn't been very eventful, except for the daily crazy person who comes in claiming "I don't owe those fines! It wasn't me!!" Sure. Somebody took your card out of your wallet, checked something out, kept it, and then slipped your card back into your wallet after they proceded to keep the items they checked out so then you would get some fines for it. That sounds totally plausible. OH, but wait, "You guys don't have surveillance cameras here so you can't see if I checked out that DVD!" Only a guilty person who's conjured up a plan to say that would have actually said that. *sigh*.....the public......

So I have been reading for the past 3ish, maybe 4 days, the Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot.

First of all, I LOVE MEG CABOT!!!!!!!! Sorry, just have to yell it out. I have read so many books by her, and she is absolutely hilarious. Anyways, I was really, really dissapointed that the Princess Diaries movies wasn't ANYTHING like the book. 1. Mia's Grandma or Grandmere is really mean and I hate her. 2. Mia gets her first kiss by Josh before a dance, not in a warehouse on the beach. 3. Her dad is totally alive still. The list could go on and on. I know the movie is BASED on the book, BUT COME ON! You could at least make SOME of it like the book. Jeeze.

Okay, well i'm done venting/ranting. I should probably stop typing and help crazy patrons get books!

OUCH

I'm at work at the moment, and i'm having some killer cramps going on. I want to lay (or lie?) down and sleep and never wake up.
But unfortuantely, it's almost 3 o'clock and I don't get off work until 5. SO that means 2 more hours of suffering.

Although, there hasn't been many people coming in here getting books, so I haven't been running around much. I'll just sit here. And not do anything. For 2 more hours.

OKay, I know....stop complaining....there are starving children in Africa. OK.

ANYways, I start school in a week and a day. It's really sad. This morning, I was looking at our HUGE, and I mean HUGE college major books and this one called The 300 Best Careers or something like that...and I really don't have an exact idea on what I wanna do with my life. I mean sure, i'll probably figure it out when i'm in college, but i'm kinda flipping out because i'm afraid I STILL won't know what I want to do, and then i'll have to go to MORE college depending on what I want to do. (whoa, that was a longggg sentence). So yeah. Maybe an idea will strike down upon me within the next year, and i'll know what I want to do. But for now, i'm pretty much clueless.

in pain and clueless,

Backkkk

Okay. So i'm back.
"It's been a long time...." like that song by Rock & Roll by Led Zeppelin.

Anyways. I was at work today, and the lady I work with Sandy, was showing me her daughters blog, and I decided that I needed to keep up on mine. Even if no one reads it, my thoughts are out there for the world to see.

Work was very long and busy today. I had to copy all the obituaries of deceased people who lived in my city. I went to copy one and I lifted up a part of the copy machine (never do that btw) and it jammed the paper inside of it and messed everything up. SO I had to get Dan the Handy Man (our computer wiz) to help me fix it. And he did....so yay Dan!! You're the best!

I had to help many people find books and get movies and blah blah. And ughhhh. One of our regulars over at the library, Bev, well she likes to come into the library, get what she has on hold, go home, and THEN call us (mind you after she's already been into the library) and try to put holds on oh, about a thousand other items. OF COURSE, when she called today, I just happened to answer. So I was stuck on the phone with Bev for about 15 minutes, putting holds on her card for her, and getting books she wanted. Nobody likes Bev. And I mean NOBODY. Whenever she calls (we have caller ID) nobody wants to pick it up. Except one of us WILL....because we HAVE to. But who says that....we could have been too busy to answer or something.....

So i'm definitely excited for the next book by P.C. Cast to come out: Untamed. I JUST finished Chosen and i'm in House of Night fever let me tell you. Only 29 more days. I have to find out what happens to Zoey and Erik. They should be together....they must be together. I get it first I think too when it comes out. Jeeze, working at a library sure does have it's perks, besides no overdue fines. :-)

What else is new? Well I start my senior year in a week and 2 days. Can you believe?? My last year of high school....my last year of freedom basically. :-p Naw, i'm excited to get out of high school and begin my life. It's invigorating.

Well, i'm gonna head off. Talk to my peeps before I start another book.

Night night.
