Books or boys?....hmmm

I've been thinking and I realized that boys and relationships can be like books! Let's say you read a book; if it was a good book, you close the back cover and sigh, remember all the good times you had and set it aside with no hard feelings AND you get to remain good friends! If it was a bad book you close the back cover and think about what could have been better, could you have done anything? Maybe been more open to the author's writings? Or was it all the book's fault? Either way you set it aside vowing that you will never go back. However, later you begin wondering if it was all a mistake and whether you should give that book another chance. See what I mean? lol One major difference though, is that books are better...sometimes...lol

Anyways...this is what comes of being hyped up on Mountain Dew and coffee from work!!! I get nostalgic dreams that lead to profound thought!

Here's to yet another day of work!

WTF stands for ...where's the fun?

SO long time no update, I can't say that life has been crazy busy but it's been good. In exchange for the lack of updates, I am providing any readers I may have with the charming photo above! Available exclusively on this blog! (Why yes, that IS me in a Transformer's mask in the middle of Toys R Us!)

I've been working my butt off for the last few weeks at Job number whatever (lol I forgot but it's ok cus there's only one job now which will henceforth be known as JOB) and I am tired!

So let's start with the big news...dun Dun DUN! I passed all three of my CSET exams at once on the first try!!! YAY! I went the the exam location filled with apprehension and like a hundred pencils in my purse. I even brought a sandwich! lol So I'm sitting outside the building feeling stupid and WAY behind because I should have taken these tests like a year ago and this was my last chance. Everyone had been telling me how difficult they were and I'm sitting there my thoughts vacillating between, "Oh crap! C'mon you can do it! Shoot shoot SHOOT! Hmmmm, let's see do I REALLY want to be a teacher? I mean really?" Sounds more negative than positive right? Anyway the stupid test takers have to go and make me even more neurotic by confiscating my freaking phone! Now I know how cliche it is to be so attached to your cell but did they really have to take away the only tool of encouragement I had left?!!! AKA "Hi mom I'm about to take my test..." (mom says) "Oh you'll do great honey!" I really needed that!!! (Jeez sometimes I feel like my posts need illustrations! lol ) Needless to say I got through it and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn't as easy...does that make sense? I guess it doesn't matter because I PASSED!!! Oh and when I went to pick up my phone they told me it had been going off like crazy! I thought I turned it off...but that's what they get for taking it away from me in the first place! XD


BTW I underwent a major transformation! From blonde to brunette (my hair's natural state)

Guess who's graduating?!! ME that's who!!!

So life has been pretty crazy and hectic for the last few months and I can see the finish line (if only a temporary one...). I feel like it's starting to get to me and I refuse to let it! Little moments like when my students are understanding and engaged in a lesson I planned WHILE MY SUPERVISOR IS WATCHING! are so great and make me remember "hey! I like kids and this really IS what I want to do!" However, those moments are few and far between but can't let it knock me out!
BTW how stupid is it to be disqualified from food stamps because you're going to college full time and can't possibly work 20 hours a week (unless you want to kill yourself!)? I mean really that is completely mental! So what they are saying is that if I weren't going to school and being a bum with no job instead that I would get assistance? Really?! C'mon people! Anyway rant over...lol
So the seester might be moving out to pursue a RN down home with the parents which means either I need to find a new roommate FAST or win the lotto FAST! Honestly, I'd prefer the roommate but if fate INSISTS that I win the Lottery than who am I to argue? lol Really though...I'm kinda over this whole roommate situation, it just isn't what I want, I've moved maybe 6 times since I've been attending college and the best move has been to live with my sister! We know each other better now and just work well and live well together...I'm going to miss her (and struggle a bit without her) but I'm happy that she is going after what she wants. :)
Oooh and I met a boy! lol he's so sweet and very nice to me and my sis and friends and just such a great guy that I keep on thinking "ok, what's going on here?" could it be that he's just what he seems? A nice guy? lol

Well back to the homework! almost 10 lesson plans to spit out :P (ptui!) lol

We're moving!!!!

Can you spell stress?! S-T-R-Oh wait! I don't have time for this I've got homework and work and packing and other work and staff meeting and
Saturday academy...

But really, my sis and I are moving today and though I relish the move as a way to get away from rude, awful, hypocritical roommates, I am so exhausted that I can barely move!! The other day I was reading aloud to my sister and fell asleep right there, on the book, in all my clothes (jacket, jeans and everything!) Last night my sis and I were packing and I laid down for a second and fell asleep right in the middle of all our boxes and stuff (she didn't know I was asleep so when she started talking it woke me up lol) but I mean really? falling asleep like that?!! Jeez! We didn't even get all our packing done! I have to say though that my sis has been a wonderful source of encouragement to me and I love her! I've got a project that's haunting me while I'm not doing it and hurting me while I am. I've got work to makeup and don't even get me started on my retail job...

Okay ya got me started! But I'll keep it minimal...let's just say that I'm about to rip a customer a new one if they all keep it up...k?

Time to get in the shower so I can go to work and hear my manager chew me out on how I missed the staff meeting...

So it's been a while.

So October has begun. The countdown is at 57 days remaining! Till my birthday that is! 22 years old!

So all I have to say right now is boys are stupid. The end.

No not really the end. I have 2 guys that I have/had a thing for (wouldn't even call it a crush). The first isn't really going anywhere or doing anything with his life. He is cute but that's about it. So we're just friends and we text a lot. Well he has this annoying habit of just dropping off the face of the earth whenever he doesn't feel up to answering a question. I ask if wanted to hang out after a long conversation and then *crickets* nothing. He texts me later as if I never even asked. I mean really? It's not like I'm asking you out sheesh! I just invited you to chill with some friends and watch a movie. If you didn't want to or don't want me to ask just let me know. It's not that hard. It's retarded is what it is. And very frustrating. Not a very nice friend at all. Then when I ask what was up you go all "Why are you asking so many questions? huh?" Really?! I mean c'mon. Chill. That's what friends do but if you don't want to that's fine with me. You just fall into the category of stupid boy.

So the other boy is at my job number 2 (the one that's actually furthering my career). He's cute and we get along really well. He's also a HUGE reader (which was a skill my ex desperately lacked). I mean how can you beat a guy who went online and purchased the Twilight series because he WANTED to read it! haha jk (he really did but that CAN be beat haha) He's very polite and talks as much as I do, if you can believe it. haha He goes to my school, is pre-law, owns his own home already and is 22! Plus he loves working with kids! haha. We're still getting to know each other, ya know chatting at work and such and I don't know his faith or anything. But he's definitely friend material if nothing else! :)

So with that in mind I have no real potential dating options, I figure now is as good a time as any to begin

BOY BOYCOTT 2009!

lol

Racket Abuse!!!

So my little sister, she's 14, just started high school. She didn't make the volleyball team but because of that she tried her hand at tennis. Turns out, she's a natural!! I really am proud of her ^_^ but this is not meant to be a mushy blog, this is a story of said 14 year old with a witty sense of humor lol So....

You know that feeling of frustration while playing a sport? You just toss your glove to the ground, or throw the basketball at the hoop really hard? Yeah, well in tennis it's usually the racket that suffers. Well, the girls on my sisters tennis team have come up with a conditioning (unintentional I'm sure) method. If any of them get so frustrated that they throw their racket down all the girls yell "RACKET ABUSE RACKET ABUSE!!!!" (Yep, that would convince me to hold onto MY racket lol) Well, she had been having a butter-finger-ish day and she hit a great shot but her racket slipped out of her hands. Some of the girls looked and saw her shot and realized it just must've slipped, so they didn't say anything. Well, apparently this happened more than once. Finally, a girl pipes up and yells "RACKET ABUSE!!!!" and my sister very calmly
(and with DUH! in her tone) turns to her and says "It's not racket abuse, it's racket discipline!"

hahahahahahaha, sorry if no one else thought it was funny but it had me cracking up!!!

A day with glitter is gooood ^_^

So I had work today and it was a call in. I called in thinking I worked at 12:30, so I got up and dressed and got there at 12:30. I walked in and my boss was all "what are you doing here?" and I said "you said you were using me today, what should I clock in as?" and she says "yeah we are but you're not scheduled till 3" *DOY!* so I return home and then go out with my family briefly. I went BACK to work lol and yay! my most favorite boss is on duty (catch the oh so subtle sarcasm?). Well, work isn't too bad but my feet hurt after a few hours. They decide to keep me on until 10 which is cool with me :) well here comes the piece de resistance, we're staying open until we meet our quota of sales and these two older women come in. I walk over to help them with the fragrances and while we were chatting one of the women discovered the glitter poof. Well she put some on herself and WHOOOSH! out comes a glitter shower! She must've enjoyed that so much that she wanted to share it with her friend. WHOOOSH! another glitter shower. Well she must've been SO pleased with that, that she just really wanted me to feel the glitter love too lol. Well I see her reach out towards me and WHOOOSH! I am drenched in glitter! YIPES! My boss (one that I actually like lol) walks past us and starts coughing because she inhaled it! So after all the customers left, my feet were killing me!!!! We had to clean up and then I finally got to go home :) I walk in the door and the first thing my sister says is, "Why are you covered in glitter?!!!" hahahaha
