GrOwIn Up?

So, I am in college now. Hence the lack of blogging. It's been crazy and busy, and I am still trying to adjust. Overall I am glad to be here in such a supportive community of youth. It is fascinating to me. :) I finally live in a place full of culture. I am currently reading Life of Pi which seems amazing and I've had trouble putting it down. in my seminar class we will have to go to two diff. churches that are not affiliated with your religious beliefs. I am SPASTICALLY excited. I know atleast one of my trips I will go to a Buddhist temple because I have long been fascinated with the relation between Buddhism and Christianity. It's amazing. To me anyway. I got to see John the other day on campus by surprise. His mom as well. It was lovely, especially since I just got out of class. I hope all goes well for him. He is an awesome guy. Nathan moved in the same day and I hope that his roommate turned out well and that all ran smoothly. We are embarking on a journey that will inevitably change our lives and it is terribly exciting and scary at the same time. sigh However, I better go and accomplish some of my tasks while I have time. I wish everyone the best and remember to "Plunge boldly into the thick of life." -Goethe. Also, for those college students who like to keep in touch and make buds, sign up for facebook.com. It is awesome. Adios!

I have just about everything ready to go for college which is great. I am finally becoming calm about the dorm situation. In fact, yesterday I called them to see if I needed to bring or return anything. I found out that we get a fridge and microwave with our room because they put three of us in a room. YESSS! Poor ppl unite! I also can return a few items. Both of my roommates seemed very nice and excited to hear from me, which made me very glad and relaxed. This could be exciting. And then, a meteor crashed into my email. The english class I was enrolled in was cancelled. So, my first day of school I have to find another english class. How odd, I am suddenly biting my nails again. lol *sigh* So my plan is to concentrate on how ready I am and try to forget about the class until I get there. :) I hope the plan works. Well I shall go work on my house. Adieu.

As of Saturday I am off to college. *shakes* I'm nervous and still trying to prepare. I can already see dorm life is going to be crazeh. I cannot bring a coffee pot to lord have mercy on the poor souls who have to deal with me in the morning. lol j-k :-SS Anyways, otherwise I am excited. Just wish the process was less aggravating. Hope all you freshman college students are doing better at this than I. Well, gotta go get more things ready and buy more. :-<>

So, today was horrible. My mom was taking care of our neighbors dogs, and one of them, a pup, seemed odd and by today dying. My mom took him to the vet where he died in her arms. He had parlo. So, now we have to worry about our pup catching it, and we find out more about the pup that died. The owner took it from their neighbor because it was being mistreated. Apparently they got it from a poker game they won and it was sick when they got it and she didn't believe them, thinking they just wanted it back considering they hadn't done anything to help it. *sigh* Later, we go to a wedding that was horrible. It was a co-worker of my mom marrying. It was in her small basement, due to rain, with her never smiling groom. Tonight was the first time I saw him smile for a few seconds. We ate, dry Wal-mart food, and this single and pregnant woman stole the bouquet from a little girl claiming she needed it. WOW. I told my mom chances are I'll still get married before her. She wasn't dressed very modestly. Yes, even pregnant. It was bad. Anyway, I better go relax and hope I don't get bit by a flea. My pets seem to have made friends they had to invite. :( lol. Good-night and remember to appreciate those who care about you.

Well, I had my last day yesterday. Lot of sad goodbyes by co-workers and fellow customers. Arlene and I will definately keep in touch. And this is where I find a reason to hold my tongue. I planned to ask my boss why I had been ripped on my pay. Well, she made a platter with chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake bites, and mini cream puffs for me. Plus, she later gave me a gift and card AND a hug saying she'd miss me and she knows I'll do great. *sigh* I got teary-eyed. She got me a silver cross. So now, after longing to leave, I feel sad and miss them. Irony can be painful. It was very touching and I haven't felt so loved and appreciated by so many before. Oh, and David, at Flying Italian, let us have free dinner. It was lovely. Then, being Friday, it got crazy with customers and I wanted to scream. It was insane. Oh, and a co-worker of mine came in 2/3 hours late because he went to a heavy metal concert in Ohio. So last night had very opposing good and bad, but the good prevailed. Well, I gotta go clean the house for a get together Sunday so, see ya and pray for fall. This heat is driving me nuts.

Hello! Yesterday I saw Ashley Johnson ( YAY ) and talked to her for a good half-hour. I was secretly hoping they would fire me because I clocked in right before I started talking to her. Anyways, we exchange stories about our summer and how we felt about college. It was wonderful and I hadn't realized how much I missed her. :( I have decided not to chop my locks off. (Due to much objection by peers) (Your welcome Nathan) SO I will get more layers in it to thin it out a little and make it less afro like. If I can keep my patience I hope to let it grow to the middle of my back, but we will see. I will be getting a car soon! *cHeErS* I'm not sure what, but it will be safe and dependable unlike my past mode of transport. Tommorrow is my last day of work and all I can say is GOD BE PRAISED! lol I plan to ask Barbara why she has ripped me on pay in the most polite way possible. Maybe it will help my friend Monique get a raise. Plus, she plans to rent the lower level of my house from my mom. It will help my mom's income and help Monique get away from her mom. All is well. *sigh* Well, I have to go help my mom get ready for our garage sale Saturday. Nathan I better hear back from you about that luch deal because I emailed you and posted on your site. You can email me from my profile. Well, hope everyone's excited about school and having a good time. Have fun and eat some extra chocolate today. Hey, dark chocolate is good for you anyway. :)
