bla bloo blee - Claude.
oy de foof.
I am sick. I even ditched two classes to brave the Health Center. If THAT doesn't say something, I don't know what will. I have to go back tomorrow morning and see another doctor. Can't wait.
Today has been one big headache. Between the Health Center, $23 of useless meds that did nothing but make me feel worse, trying to chase down course validaters so I can finally get my scholarships back (to no success), learning the stupid School of Music changed their policy while I was gone so now I have to take another choir...and the only one left I can enter, now that auditions have passed, is the effing Collegiate Choir which shouldn't even be called a choir. So I was fighting tears all the way back to my car after today's ball of fun.
It's all just alittle overwhelming right now and it just keeps piling up. It's like folding t-shirts at work. No matter how much work you put into folding those shirts, the minute you return them to the shelves, there are 5 more unfolded. It just starts to seem pointless.
I have requested that I not be scheduled so often at work, but that only solves a small part of the problem. Now I'm really behind in classes, too sick to even care about it, and on top of this - I have to go to my new stupid ass choir tonight. BOLLOCKS. It's all bollocks. I'm ready for the weekend. And some prescription drugs.
tutte la fruit.
El Potrero, Caves, Walmart, and the Emmys.
A nice weekend.
Friday night I went to dinner with 3 lovely ladies. We stopped for some licorice tasting in the Haymarket and then chatted it up over delicious Mexican food (though it could never compete with some good Arizonian Mexican food...yes, Kristen?)
Saturday, my lovely roomie whisked me away from this town. We decided it was high time to get outta Lincoln. So we trekked to Brownville and sipped wine at Whiskey Run Winery. We then headed to Indian Cave to enjoy the quiet and scenery. Caught a picture of two deer which were about 10 feet away from us. It was just a wonderful escape and a good time with Miss L.
Today consisted of watching Practical Magic (yay!) and a frightening Sunday afternoon trip to Walmart. I think the only plan for tonight is some good food and the Emmys. We'll see.
I know - it's nothing spectacular, but I hadn't posted in awhile. So here it is. Oh and on a final sad note - Kristen - did you hear the news? Zach Braff...leaving Scrubs...going off air. Tear tear?
I miss Italian.
Aaaaaaand, 64 hours later...I have survived the past 7 days. Work has been nutso. Today - I worked the cash register for only 5 hours of my shift. In those 5 hours, my CampusCard totals alone were almost $20,000. Holy hell. Book sales are a conspiracy.
I would tell you about the rest of my life...buuuuut I don't really have a "rest of my life" lately. I did have a lovely dinner with Laya and J at Olive Garden...followed by a sobfest and angry uprising at On Native Ground - a show on Court TV about 9.11 and how incompetent our country can be. Anyway.
I start classes tomorrow. Bum-mer. Peace out.
La la la la la.
Done with a day of work.
Two more and then I have a day off.
Okay actually, on my "day off",
I get to start fall semester with 6 hours of classes.
And then I get to back to work and class all up until Saturday.
SATURDAY. HALLELUJAH I CAN"T WAIT TIL SATURDAY.
Schy and I had Noodles for supper.
Yummy - Pesto Cavatappi.
And free diet cokes.
Thank you Noodles and Co.
My life is sad.
Goood night.
"I think I'm goin to London..."
Okay so maybe the song lyrics are about Boston.
I feel crummy. Just crymminy-crummy.
Really missing London and my life there and my friends there.
I've only cried twice today though.
I keep thinking I see people I know around Lincoln.
And then I remember they live in London.
One more year...one more year here.
Sigh.
Ok that's all my blubbering for today.
On a different note.
Let's make that work total 54 hours this week. Hooray.
And Mr. Boss Man Bing came and whispered to me
"Are you talking to the customers?"
A) Yes. I am. I ALWAYS am. I have never once ignored a customer and not said hello. TRUST ME or else what's the point of hiring me? B) Please don't ever whisper to me again like I'm an effing 5 year old who needs to hear things in an "indoor voice".
Then he says - "I drive you nuts don't I."
Me: "hehhhhh....heh....uhh.....no?"
Other than these semi-weekly encounters, work is definitely okay. It's a lot of work and a lot of hours, but I at least feel like I accomplish something each day. And I love the ladies I work with - they are pretty BA. It's also nice to see people I know come in and out of the store. Schy usually comes in and makes my day:) Today she brought me a bumper sticker from Amoeba Records in San Fran. I heart her. The end.
What does this pic have to do with anything?
I have been sucked in. Marathon. Damnit. I blame it on work. Work was not good today. One hour early bc no one told me they changed the schedule. Boss man making me feel like a moron when I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be - and more. Seriously thought about quitting or crying because I don't feel that I deserve to be spoken to so condescendingly. Grrr. Then some woman found a screw up on her receipt - right when we were closing. So I had to fix her $500 purchase...and I was last to leave. And so completely frazzled that I was forgetting the smallest little things. I'm goin' on break. Fo real yo.
I am officially employed!
Today - even though I didn't show up for my shift which I didn't know I was scheduled for - my boss pulled me aside from all the temps and said,
"Just so you know, you're not a temp anymore. We consider you a part of the Follett family now, so we're keeping you on after the Rush."
YAY!
I am officially done with summer classes!
Took the psych final this afternoon. It wasn't too horrible; I only have to get a 73 to keep an A in the class. I was sad to walk out of the room and say farewell to the world of sex in which I have been living the past 5 weeks...but I made it. Sigh - all over.
I am officially richer!
I got to sell my books back - a new experience for me! Loved it. Bought a music stand, some new guitar strings, and some guitar picks. Yay.
And that's all. I'm officially done.
Love love xxx
alright already
Yay it's me. Miss me?
Well.
One summer course down - Creative Nonfiction.
(LOVED it! 98% thank you)
One summer course ALMOST down - Human Sexuality.
(LOVED it. For reasons my close friends know about.)
3 weeks into the new job.
I think I'm liking it.
I get to make pretty displays and play with the price scanner.
It's like a dream come true. Really - if you knew me when I was little.
Um. Got my transcript from Kingston.
Rock on. I officially took classes last year.
I TOLD you I wasn't just traipsing around Europe.
I might even get my scholarships back now.
That would be nice.
Psych final is tomorrow...SCARED.
Laya and J just left for Maine. I will miss them.
So just me and the Idg man again. We're gonna partay.
Ok actually not - I'm gonna go study for my final.
Peath out.
