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

The one with the middle, end and epilogue (soon to be sequel?)

So last off we left our heroine bravely conquering the land of Longboarding and vanquishing the monster Clumsiness. Well it seems that our heroine experienced a setback. :( So...the day after I posted those pics, my roomies longboard betrayed me. Sad to say that it was my fault. I wore the wrong shoes (for vanity's sake) and rolled my ankle. Whilst my ankle was contorted in an unnatural position, the board decided to make a break for it and I landed on said ankle. Needless to say I was in a lot of pain. So I am sitting on the floor and my roommate and my sister are not sure whether I'm ok or not and think I'm just gonna hop right back on. I wait for the pain to disappear, when it doesn't I realize that I can't get up. By this time my faithful friend (and sister) are coming to see what's wrong (me staying on the ground clued them in). They help me up and I mange to get home, on my bum, on the board lol. I sat on the coach where my sis brought me ice and I could see the nasty scratches and swelling of both feet. (ew) I started to think that maybe it was broken because BOY did it HURT! So I told myself that I'd just endure the pain and keep it immobile till the next morning (emergency rooms are expensive and it was midnight). Well that worked for about 30 minutes until it cranked up a notch and I couldn't keep from crying. I called my best friend to drive me to the e-room and she (like the wonderful person she is) agreed. Said she'd leave in like 10-15 minutes so I called my mom and asked her advice. She told me to hold off and go to the university for the x-ray (MUCH cheaper). So since it had only been a few minutes my sis called the best friend to say thanks but she can go back to sleep. Best friend was mad...but then not. :) Didn't I say she rocked?! So, the pain subsides but later gets really bad, e-room here we come. MY sis drove me (why didn't she drive to begin with? loooong story) and I was getting freaked out because I couldn't move my right foot at all. So we park and sis goes to get a wheelchair for me, meanwhile I'm on the phone with a friend who turned out to not be so concerned :P and not so much a friend (caca boy). So she comes back with the wheelchair and a very VERY cute hospital dude! lol So hospital dude rolls me in and around the hospital. I get x-rayed (not broken yay!!!) and then comes the worst part! I return to the room ive been waiting in and see crackers, soda and vicadin on a tray. I'm a bit wary (I'd never taken vicadin) so I sit on the bed and the nurse enters. She tells me she wants me fortified and to take the vicadin and eat my crackers. (by this point I'm rather apprehensive) She says that it's time to clean my cuts (*whimper*) so she and hospital dude (which btw I wasn't feeling the most confident with this cute guy cleaning my scraped up feet :P) begin rubbing the asphalt outta my injuries. And OMG it hurt so flippin' bad!!! I began laughing (because it's either laugh or cry) and they both look at me like I'm wierd lol. So then I get a lesson on my crutches (yes crutches) and hop on out.

So....I've been on crutches for the past week or so and left them behind on Wednesday. I'm walking on my own 2 feet and waiting for those cuts to heal. :P

Learning to longboard!

So I absolutely LOVE learning how to ride my roomies longboard! Last night, in order to stay awake so that my sister can get into the house (she forgot her keys), we went to go get in some practice and, as an added bonus, got some awesome pics! I can't really add them all to this post but I'll put them in a slideshow so everyone can enjoy the awesomness!!! Yay for Becky being home! More to come later :)
