Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.

I wish people would just drop the bull shit and be straight with everyone else all the time. Cut the crap people. If you have something on your mind, come right out with it...don't expect other people to know how you're feeling and what you're thinking.

I'm incredibly frustrated.
And very lost.

"Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes its demands
You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone"

A day late, a buck short

December 14th I'll be on a plane to South Carolina =]

I've been thinking a lot lately, maybe a little too much actually. That's not really anything new though, I tend to over think things. It's strange, I'm not sad...but I don't feel right either. I don't know exactly how to describe how I've been feeling lately...uneasy? Apathetic? Numb? Lost? Hopefully Thanksgiving break will give me a push out of this, either that or it'll just get worse.
This is the first major holiday that my family won't be together. Any traditions that we had left are gone...what now?

I miss being a kid. I miss going to my grandmothers house on the holidays, seeing all of my relatives. I miss playing ping pong with my cousins. I miss playing pretend games with them. I miss the big family dinners and the sing alongs. I miss my grandma.

And so it goes

I went to see Madagascar 2 randomly today.

And I loved it.

I'm planning out Thanksgiving break/Winter break, and I'm pretty excited. On November 25th I'll be in North Creek and I'm staying there for about a week. After that I have finals week, and then I'll be flying down to South Carolina on December 14th, or maybe the 15th...the details aren't final yet. Thanksgiving should be interesting, It'll just me my dad and me this year. I really can't wait for December either, I miss everyone down south so much.

I'm single again, and I'm not going to speak about this too much here. All I'll say is that I am frustrated with the situation and I'm not looking for another relationship for quite a while...and that's that I suppose.

With the exception of being ridiculously confused, life has been alright.

Yes, we can.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not generally too concerned with or interested in politics. This election has, without a doubt, made me more interested. I'm truely glad that Obama won the election. The more I read about him, and listen to his speeches, the more secure I feel that Barack Obama is going to get America back on track.

Other than the election, life has basically been the same. I'm contemplating what I'm doing for Thanksgiving break and Christmas Break. I don't know...I should just hibernate in my room.

I'm one pretty excited lady right now.
I decided to try to test out of Info tech and lit. annnnd I passed the proficiency exam.

I went to the interview that I had for the telephone answering service, and I got the job. However, I have to be trained...and their training is M-F next week from 12-4:30...and I can't miss classes Tuesday and Thursday...so I have to wait till they do a night training session.

Happy Halloween!!

Just another Monday

Today was pretty exciting, well...in comparison to a normal day at school. I went to see Dr. Tooke about TAing for History and Modern Systems of Psychology, before I even got in the door he asked if that was what I was there for. Needless to say, I left his office with the TA position.

Not only did I get the TA position that I had been wanting, but I also may have a job. I applied for a position as a telephone agent [taking orders for items sold on TV and such], and I got a phone call about two ours after I filled out the application to set up an interview. On Wednesday I'm going in for an interview, and with any luck...I'll get a job.

I seriously need the $$. I want to possibly spend Christmas down south with my family, and buy my pretty car from Bryan eventually. I've been wanting to get a new car for a while [since the Geo has lost my interest]...and I love the car that Bryan is going to sell. Hopefully this job will come through and I can start saving up some ducks [or uhm...bucks...haha].

Annnd, I met with Dr. Gaeddart [my advisor] to go over my schedule for next semester. I need 16 credits to graduate. The only mandatory classes that I have are one upper level Psych course [Human Learning and Memory], A Global Issues course [Health], and then 9 credits worth of other courses. [Plus my info tech and lit. credit, which I'm going to try to test out of on Friday and my Senior Exam]. For the 9 other credits...I'm getting 3 for TAing the course I mentioned at the begining of my post, annnd possibly doing field work, plus taking some kind of child/family development course.

And that, is that.

I have my advisment meeting today. I'm pretty excited about it...I get to plan my schedule for my last semester of college as an under grad. It's hard to believe that I only need 16 credits, and then I'll be a college graduate.

I need: Human Learning and Memory, Info Tech and Literacy, Heath in Contemporary Society, and 3 other random classes for the credits. I think I'm going to speak to my History and Modern Systems professor and see if he needs a TA for next semester (since I have an A in the class, and I've TAed another class for him before).

Other then school, there isn't really too much exciting going on with me right now. Other than my new resolution to complain a whole lot less, and be thankful for what I have. I've kinda noticed that there are certain people that complain, constantly...and it just doesn't make much sense to me. Granted, sometimes in shitty situations complaining is understandable, but when you start complaining about the weather every day and it isn't even half bad outside, I think you need to take a break. To cut to the chase: People who complain every other time they open their mouth irritate me just a little bit.

Life is good. The shitty parts are there to remind us not to take things for granted, they're there for us to learn from. Embrace all of it...don't sweat the small stuff.

Look at me, gettin' my blog on.

Oh lawdy, I have a new site to waste my time on. This seems like Xanga, but a little more "grown up".

We'll see if I actually update it, Haha.
