I had to create a creation story for my Trends class. I also have to create a legend, but that will be done tonight. Liz helped me with my creation story and this is the story we made.

The Pompador people of the Nokila Mountains are strong people. These people were discovered within a very well-hidden valley. Pompador people are in tune with nature and use everything around them to the fullest. They believe that all that is available to them was given to them by their merciful gods. While having the privilege to talk to their eldest leader, I got to hear their creation story.
In the beginning there were two brothers, Klesgaan and Glesgaan, and their sister, Mpono. Klesgaan and Glesgaan were the best of friends, and never let their sister join in on anything. One day Klesgaan and Glesgaan created the earth, animals, and plants. Mpono wanted to know what they were doing, but they tried to keep it hidden from her. One night while they were sleeping, Mpono figured out what they were doing and thought of a way to outdo her brothers for once. She created a being that would wreck havoc on her brothers’ creations. She created Ligoni, the first man.
Great fighting occurred between the siblings over their creations. After some time had passed, Mpono looked upon the earth and saw just how beautiful her brothers’ creations really were. Once she realized how much destruction man was causing, she felt remorse and wanted to fix the problem without destroying her creation. After much deliberation, she found the perfect solution. She created a being in her likeness that was compassionate and wise. She created the first woman, Migona.
Migona found Ligoni and calmed him. She helped him to realize what a privilege it was to live in such a wondrous place. Together they learned to live off the land and love everything within it. However, they became lonely and asked Mpono to fill the void in their hearts. She gave Migona the gift of children to share with Ligoni.
After many summers of raising children and living off the land, Migona and Ligoni started to grow weary with age. Ligoni pleaded with Mpono to end the suffering of his wife. Mpono heard his cry, and she consulted with her brothers. They agreed that a condor would scoop Migona and Ligoni up onto its plush feathers, and fly high into the mountain where no living man could reach.
The children greatly missed their parents who were taken away by the frightening shadow. They began to wonder what would come of them and their offspring. Mpono saw their distress and wanted them to not fear death. She commanded the children to construct a hut out of stone and burn the polimora flower in the hearth. When they did this, a great miracle occurred. Migona and Ligoni appeared to them in the smoke and reassured them. Ligoni told them of the great nest in the sky where they can see over the entire mountain range and watch their children grow strong. Migona explained when they too grow old and weary, Mpono and the brothers will send the condor to bring them home to their parents.

This thing is only worth 10 points, and then the legend is worth 10 points.

I know that justin already posted a big long thing about the past year. Honestly I don't have much to say. I understand if everyone is mad at me. People keep telling me that they aren't, but then they act like they are. Make up your mind! I'm not gonna be mad because you hate me for the time being! I expect it! I know I crushed him, and gave up a whole future that we had somewhat planned.

I think the biggest misconception about the whole situation is that I asked him to marry me and thats not the case. I mentioned it, but I didnt think he would take me seriously. I'm sorry that I got wrapped up in the idea. I'm sorry that school got in the way of me thinking clearly because I had alot on my plate and still do. I can't help the way I feel.

I couldn't say anything about my doubts to anyone, not even justin, other than the few times I mentioned something, because if I told them to someone else then they would become real. I didn't know if I was really ready for them to be real. I didn't mean to hurt him. I know he knows that, but I feel no one else does.

I'm sick of trying to defend myself and my decisions to other people. (thats directed at people who know the WHOLE situation) I can't help the feelings and I'm not trying to make things worse for him by doing the things that I am, but at the same time, I've been over this for a whole week. I know thats not long since we dated for a year, but this weekend has really proven to me that I made the right decision as much I hurt myself and him in the process.

Justin, I want you to know that I really am sorry!!! I know I shattered everything that we had planned. I really honestly didn't mean to hurt you!!! I care about you as my friend, and I wish I could have been honest with myself sooner. I'm sorry!

SO random update because I din't feel like studying religion any more. I have my religion final in like 40 minutes. I've been at school for about an hour now kinda studying. When I go over the quizzes I seem to know most of the stuff. I hope I do good since I didn't too great on the midterm, but I can't study this crap any more. I have my funeral directing final at 1pm today. I haven't studied for that at all, but I don't really care. I got an A on the midterm and we haven't learned much more since then. We have mostly had field trips and only like 2 or 3 classes. I have Chem final tomorrow. I'm a little worried, but its not until 1pm tomorrow, which means that I have alot of time to study tonight. It shouldn't be tooo bad though. Then Wednesday is Anatomy. That's probally going to be the worst one of all them. It's gonna be hard. I think he said it is 300 questions. 100 questions is bad enough. I'm so not looking forward to that. Then my last final of the semester is Thursday and its Embalming. I need to read the chapters really bad. I don't think I did too well on the last quiz we had, but I never got my score back bc I skipped that day of class. Then Thursday night we have a concert to go to that Sam is in. That will be fun hopefully!

Yesterday was pretty fun. I got to meet the rest of Justin's family that I hadn't met. They were all nice. His cousins aren't too bad. Parker is in a loud and obnoxious stage. So that was really annoying. Jake is older and has outgrown alot of that. He didn't say much to me, but he seems pretty cool. Ryan is inbetween the 2. The most annoying thing he does is grind his teeth. I HATE the sound it makes because Trevor used to do it. He wouldn't stop so I pinned him to the floor and started tickeling him. He ended up kneeing me in the chin. It hurt alot and I thought I was going to bruise. Last night it wasn't that sore, but when I got home I realized that there was a bruise. It's not very dark, but its there. It was a fun night though.

This week is gonna be hell and I can't wait for it to be over with!!!

I always take forever to update. It seems as if people no longer like lj. Whatever! I know its not just me. Anyway, to continue from last time... Open house was fun. We had around 1,000 people come for it. We didn't sell that many shirts because they weren't done. We ran into problems that I didn't see and had to go through the college and what not which made getting money take longer. It was stupid. So that means we have 400 shirts and sweatshirts sitting in Palua's office. We managed to sell about 30 at open house. We have LOTS of extras!!! Cedar Point was fun! Ashley, Becky, Dana, and I ended up going. We made Ashley go into a haunted house with us because it was called U R DEAD school of Mortuary Science. Ashley hadn't been in haunted house since 4th grade. It was really funny! Halloween was really nice. Madison had a blast trick or treating. Justin and I took Sam and 2 of her friends to a movie. It was fun too!

The most recent thing I have done besides school was went to a goth club with Ashley (from school). She goes to this place in Ann Arbor called Necto. She wanted me to go with her once. We went on a monday night because thats the night that she likes to go. We didnt have lab the next day so it was ok. The club was interesting to say the least. There were people walking around in things that they shouldnt have been. There was one girl that was wearing a corset around her waist that went just below her boobs. Then on her nipples she had thin black tape X's. There was another girl that had on a short black shirt and a nude colored bra. She had a gut so it was gross and she spent most of the night dancing on the pole. The place was very entertaining. Some of the guys looked like villians. There was one guy there that Ashley kinda likes and he really looked like a villian. They kept trying to get me to dance, but I didn't really want to. I did at the very end, which I knew I would do. When I go to a new place, I like to absorb what's around me. I was having fun just watching and being there. There were some creepy people there too. There were people that looked like your typical goth people. I met a few of Ashley's friends. One of them gave me a free pass because it was my first time there. His name was Jimmy and he told me that since I had the pass I had to come back. He was really nice, but he's super friendly. He likes giving hugs and kissing the top of girls hands. He was more friendly with Ashley, but I think thats because of 2 reasons. One he knows her better, and two Ashley told him that I was getting married next summer. After we left Ashley asked if I would go back. I told her that I would. If we can get this guy in our class named Joseph to go then I'm definately going when he goes. I have too!!!! I want to be there to see the look on his face. He is such a religious person and he's pretty naive about the world. He would be a trip there!!!

I have a religion paper that Aunt Karen was going to do for me. I'm gonna go over there today and help her with it. It's supposed to be 20 pages and it's due on Monday in an email and I have to have it sent to the teacher by 11pm. Anyway, I should do some more research on it. Bye!!!

So as you can tell by the title I should be doing something else other than this, but I can't. Not just yet anyway. I thought that if I cleared my head a little and updated, then maybe, just maybe, I would feel like studying for my anatomy midterm tomorrow. I doubt that I will though, and I know it's going to come down to me forcing myself to study. Anyway, school is busy. We had our first class meeting for open house last week. I was SO prepared to talk about shirts that there was no way anyone could deny my awsome logic and prepardness!!! I had all kinds of dollar amounts for shirts and what it would take to get them done. I talked about how it was possible to get them done on time and whatnot. Lets just say I was so prepared that Dr.Ladd complimented me on the way I went about getting things done. He was a lawyer for a long time so the fact that he's complimenting me means alot. I then had to take things to Dr. Frade, who is the actual head of the department, and talk about numbers and a design. We had many ideas and there was one complete shirt that I showed to Frade and he said that if I could get the class to agreee then he could guarantee us the money to purchase the shirts. This is the design:



Let me know what you guys think PLEASE!!! I love it! Anyway, we decided to do them as t-shirts and sweatshirts. I found a place that is in Flint that does them. We did almost run into an issue with them, but we got lucky. We weren't sure if the place was a vendor of WSU, if it wasn't we weren't going to have the time to go through the legal work to make them one. Somehow they were. I mean I would have guessed not bc they are based in Flint and WSU is in Detroit, but somehow they were!!! The shirts are going to be done by the 21st which is good bc the open house is the 23rd.

This next week and half is going to be crazy. I have a midterm tomorrow. Next week I have a Religion midterm monday, a Chem midterm tuesday, and an Embalming midterm thursday. Plus open house in on Thursday. I'm trying to talk my mom and Larry into bringing Madison to the open house. I think she would like it! I'm excited about it.

Then the 26th I'm going to Cedar Point for the Halloweekends that they do. (Sorry Felix) A girl at school named Ashley asked me to go. I just started talking to her last week, but she is AWSOME!!!! I don't even know how to describe her. She's just so funny and her and I have a blast together. Ashley asked Dana and Becky to go with us. I think Dana is, but I don't really know. Becky said that she would as long she doesn't have anything else going on. I think it's gonna be fun. Since we are going on a sunday, I'm just gonna stay the night at Ashley's house and go to class the next day and then go home. Her and I are looking forward to it so much. I can't wait!!! Anyway, I'm gonna go study for awhile!!! I have other homework to do as well!

So I'm almost to the end of my 5th week of Mortuary School. I love it for the most part, but I'm getting sick of the drive. We get alot of homework! There is always something to do or read! It does get old, but I just suck it up and deal with it. We recently picked our class officers. I know a couple of us are wondering if we picked the right person as our president. We thought she would do better than the girl who seemed to "know everything" about funeral directing since she's a 5th generation FD, but now we aren't so sure. There is a big fuss about having a class t-shirt. The president doesn't want us to have them bc she thinks that they are going to be tasteless, and she thinks its time to change the way people look at the profession. She wants to be professional, but she's all for the idea of doing a fundraiser at the BAR!!!! WTF!!!! Seriously!!!! I don't get it. Besides we (the class) apparently know what happens when the class gets together and drinks. They get pretty tipsy and some of them makeout! Yeah there lots of DRAMA about to start in our class. We are of course basically together all the time. There is even a little drama starting in the group that I talk to. Its mostly one person though. Whatever!!! I've heard that other classes were worse than ours so I guess I'll take it.

I think the worst thing about all this is that I know that some days I'm a little touchy. I have so much to do and all I feel like I do is sleep. I'm so happy that Justin understands that its just bc I'm stressed out some days. I mean a typical day for me is to get up at 4:10am, get ready, leave around 5:30am, get into Detroit around 7am, wait for class at 9am, sit in class till 11am, 2 hour lunch break, class at 1pm, out at 4pm, home by 6pm, eat, go to sleep at 8pm and do it all over again the next day. I have two short days where I get out around noon, but then I come home and study for a couple hours and go to bed at 7pm instead. Saturday I usually sleep for 10-12 hours and I still wake up tired. Last night I went to bed at 6:30pm and didn't get up until 4:30am. That's how tired I was!!!

Anyway, enough of me blabbing about school! Leave a comment if you feel like it!!! :-)

So as you can tell, I started my final year of college. All I can say is that it has been interesting so far. The weekend of Labor Day I was going to be up at CMU but after being there for a week I wanted to come home. That was an interesting week in its self. For those who haven't heard Justin hit a deer and smashed his windshield. Its fixed now, but he had to get his struts fixed over the weekend. Dan fixed them of course, but it took alot longer than expected. So long that it wasn't fixed Monday night when he had to go back to school. I ended up driving him home around 10pm and I didn't get home till close to 1am. Then I started school the next day. I had to be up at 4:30am to get ready for school and drive down to Detroit. I made it there by about 7am. Class isn't until 9am but if I want to avoid the back traffic around Auburn Hills on 75 bc of construction then I have to be out the door by 5:30am. So I got down there and sat around until 9am. Then shortly after that I find out that our lab was cancelled and I didn't have to be there until 1pm. I was mad bc I could have slept for another 4 or so hours. Dr. Frade who absolutely loves Larry and is proud of him for getting a 98 on the National Board Examination putting him in the top 5% of the nation tried to figure "out me" on the first day. He was wondering where Larry's daughter was and I wouldn't say anything. I didn't feel like having attention on me at the time. I still don't think Frade knows who I am. LOL!!!! Then yesterday was pretty normal and went well. I was just REALLY hungary by the time I got home. Today was ok except that I had to stay for the lab, but my lab in on Monday. Gee (embalming teacher) wanted us all to stay for a short demenstration that turned out to be 3 hours long. I didn't really need to be there. She was showing how an embalming works and what we do. The problem is that I've seen 3 or 4 of them and they are all basically done the same way. Besides with 33 people in the room how much can you actually see. It was more for the people who have never seen it done. I was ok with not being there. I wanted to get home today. I have so much reading homework to do. I think total I have about 10 chapters of reading to do. Plus notecards and a few assignments. I know the year is going to go by fast, but still. I just want to sleep when I get home. Then tomorrow I have a short day. I should be out by 11am, but I have to drive home. Then Justin wants me to bring him his car. I'm gonna stay the night up there and come home on Saturday. I have too much stuff to get done. I think it's gonna be really cool. I'm finally learning the things that I'm actually going to use in my profession. No longer am I taking classes and thinking why do I need this!!!!

Anyway, if you made it through that cool. I'm gonna go read for an hour and then go to sleep for about 8 hours if I'm lucky!

It's been over 3 months since my last real update. In June Justin and I went to Cedar Point bc Amanda's parents couldn't go. That was alot of fun. We hungout with Amanda and Kristen the whole time. I started babysitting in June as well.

On the 4th of July Dan, Kate, Justin and I went to Aunt Karens and watched fireworks. Madison had a bunch of fireworks to set off. I like doing fireworks. I almost burnt myself once but whatever. Then that weekend Justin and I went with Dan and Kate to Dan's Grandma's house. We played in the lake and watched fireworks that night. It was alot of fun! The fireworks were some of the best that I have seen in a while. One day in July I know it was a Saturday Justin and I decided to get married. I just started thinking about it and I mentioned it to him. I didn't expect him to take me seriously, but he did. So within the week we had decided to do it.

Now it's August and my 21st birthday was Thursday. I didn't do that much but its ok with me. Justin and I went out to AppleBees for my birthday yesterday. Today my family and I are going to CiCi's pizza in Grand Blanc for my birthday. The rest of this month is going to be crazy. The 13th I get to see my Aunt and Uncle who live in Colorado. Then that same day I get to go pick up my wedding dress. I already bought it and it was the first dress I tried on. I'm excited. On the 16th I have a dinner to go to for Larry graduating from the Mortuary Science Program. The 17th is when Justin and I are going to get our parents to meet. Then the 18th I have to drive down to Wayne State for orientation. I don't think it will be that bad. That weekend I'm going up to CMU with Justin bc he starts school. I'm gonna stay for the weekend and that week and probally the following weekend. Their friend Sarah wants to do something that weekend so that will be fun.

Then it be September and it will be time for me to start school. I'm excited but it's going to be really interesting trying to go to school and plan a wedding. I've been trying to get as much stuff done as I possibly can before school starts. So far it's been going well and I seem to be ahead of schedule. I'm excited to see how this next year goes!!!

Your Gemstone Says...

You are stable, strong, and full of life. You are an inspiring person. People turn to you first for leadership and advice. You are able to gently help people get to where they need to be. And while you aren't afraid to lead when necessary, you are never heartless or bossy.

Your Gemstone Says...

You exude wealth and class. (Even if you're short on funds.) You carry yourself well, and you have perfect manners. You never seem desperate or trashy. You are admired for your sense of style. You treat others well. In fact, many people aspire to be like you.

It was a tie between the 2 of these ones so I picked them both to see what they said.

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You have a wild reputation, but you're not as wild as you seem. You take risks, but only measured risks. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You can be a big dramatic and over the top sometimes. You are bold in every way

You Are a Sweet Person

When it comes to snacks, you're more likely to grab some candy than heat up a pizza. There's a good chance you're female (women prefer sweet snacks)... Or at least, you prefer to be in the company of women. Your tastes are simple and predictable. You are young at heart. You tend to crave food you can just grab and eat.

You Are in the Genital Stage of Development

According to Dr. Freud, you've reached the genital stage of development. Whatever issues you may have had in your childhood have been resolved. You don't have any hang ups, and you are able to function as a stable adult. You are the model of being well-adjusted, and you are able to balance your life beautifully.

I'm so excited!!!! I just got an email from Wayne State saying that I made it into the Mortuary Science Program in the Fall!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm so super excited!!!! It's such a relief! I can quit thinking about it now.

So I havent been up to much lately. I started at u of m. I dont think its going to be that bad. The first day went well. Today is my second say of class though.

I'm glad its summer!!! I mean almost! I'm ready for it to be sunny and nice out. Well I guess thats all I have to say right now.

So yesterday I went down to U of M to get the whole spring class thing figured out. It only took about an hour and half or so to get everything figured out and taken care of. I'm glad that its done with though. I have 2 classes on Monday and Wednesday. I dont think it will be that bad though. I could not believe how much I had to pay for 4 credits!!! 4 FREAKING CREDITS!!!! THATS IT!!! WOW!!! I dont know how you guys do it!!! I spent as much on 4 credits there as I would have on about 12 credits at MCC. WOW!!! Thats all I can say!!!

So I just found out that there are about 100 people applying to the Mortuary Science Program in the fall. I'm like super nervous now about it! Larry told me that they can take 50 of them. I mean I guess I do have a shot but still. He told me to make sure that I get my prereq's done before the fall. He's also going to put in a good word and I'm hoping that will help. Not to mention he payed Larry just about the biggest compliment that he could. He told Larry that he should join the pathologist's assistant class. So yeah. the downside is that it means I have to do really good in the program. Larry is mister perfectionist. I want good grades but I dont want to work my ass off for them. I have a decent GPA and I have 4.0 in almost all of my science classes. Hopefully things will work out the way I want them to because at this point it would really suck if they didnt. Go figure I start feeling this way after I finally started feeling really good about getting in.

Well Whatever! All I can do is wait it out!

So its been a super long time since I updated so I figured that I would. Nothing too interesting has happened. I'm still with Felix of course. This past week has been really nice because Felix has been home. Liz has also been home but I havent seen her since Sunday. Ohh well. I will get to see her during next week since I'm gonna be up there all week!!!! YAY!!! I'm on Spring Break this week so I'm gonna go up to CMU. Its gonna be nice to be able to get away from here for a little bit. Its also gonna be nice because I get to see Felix some more. I know he has class but I think it will work out ok because Liz will be around some of the time and I have some homework that I can do also.

So I just have to say this. I hate it when people are immature. I dont understand how someone can hate someone that they dont even know. It just makes me laugh because its so stupid! Whatever though! I think its weird that I kinda find it entertaining!!!

So, not much has been going on. I mean Felix and I are still together and I honestly think we will bo for a very long time. Anyway, school is boring but enjoyable at the same time. Its not too bad. Work is dead so that means my hours are to and so is my money. That is very sucky. I hate this tax thing very much. It all has to do with do I have to pay taxes on the stuff that I bought through eBay or not?!?!? Its really annoying!!!

You love life, and you enjoy traveling the world. You enjoy fine food, art, and culture. People have accused you of being a snob, but that's not accurate. You do enjoy the best things in life. Unlike snobs, you truly appreciate quality... not just pretend to.

You Are Somewhat Virtuous

You are occasionally a good person, but you often stop short at doing the right thing. It's just a lot easier (and more fun) to be bad! You do have a reputation to uphold. Deep down, you're a fairly good person. But no one's perfect. You're just a lot less perfect than most people! Where You Are Virtuous You have the virtue of Moderation. You don't do anything at excess, and you avoid extremes You have the virtue of Order. You let each thing have it's place, and you keep your life in order. You have the virtue of Justice. You treat other people fairly, even when you don't feel like it. Where You Are Not Virtuous You lack the virtue of Silence. You talk too much, and your words aren't as valuable as they could be. You lack the virtue of Cleanliness. You are quite messy... and maybe even a little dirty. You lack the virtue of Sincerity. You don't tell the truth if it doesn't suit you.

Ok SO super random, but... I CANT BELIEVE THAT HEATH LEDGER DIED TODAY!!!! Thats so f'ing crazy!!! He was only 28, and he was a really good actor. He used to be one of Sarahs favorites.

SO other than that... My weekend at CMU was alot of fun! I was happy to come home though. Sorry guys!!! buts it the truth. I enjoyed my time up there. It was nice to get away from here for awhile and hangout with people!!!

School is going well mostly. I think I'm gonna like this semester! There are pros and cons to Child psych but I dont want to get into them. Its a fun class. Accounting wont be that bad. I hate politics so American government kinda sucks. Microbiology is pretty cool though. Its all germs. I get to see what did and didnt grow from our last experiment in micro tomorrow. I'm excited!!!

So I know its been close to a month since I've updated. Alot has happened since I last updated. For starters Liz and Justin came home which was really nice. I had fun getting to see them and hangout. My break has been full of working and not being home. Its been really nice. Christmas was so much fun this year!!! I had to get up super early but whatever. I got a few things I really wanted, like my Nightmare Before christmas PJs, and the dressy coat that I really wanted. One of the best things I got that day was my moms wedding ring and engagment ring from my dad. I knew she had them but she still hadnt given them to me. I'm so happy to have them finally!!! I got to see a bunch of my family on Christmas so that was really nice too. I havent seen some of them in over a year. Its amazing how fast time can go sometimes. We went up to CMU for New Years Eve. It was alot of fun just hanging out and playing rock band. I got to play the drums for the first time. I'm surprised at how much I like playing them.

Well I have less than a week and classes start up again. I'm actually ready for class to start. I went and bought books today and almost fell over. I paid way too much for them. I could not believe that they cost me that much. I paid $557 for my books. The one good thing is that Larry might have the 2 Microbooks, and if he does then I can take mine back. That would save me like $200. I'm still slightly in shock right now about it. I looked online and I cant save much. I could save on my micro book, but thats it.

So for some reason my parents seem to have a problem with us taking the car lately. I mean we start school on Monday. How much running around do they think we are going to be doing while going to school and working. Last night I wanted to run up to Claires and buy a few clearance things that I had saved in the back. I figured that I could take one of the two cars that were in our driveway, and they told me no. Larry didnt want me taking the new car bc he had just filled it up with gas for Detroit. OK I understadn that one. So I ask mom when she gets home if I can take the Impala, and she says no. then she says something about gas. I told her I can put gas in it for what I use, and she still tells me no. Then she says if she gets a call she wants to be able to just go. That one was BS! Ash and I ended up going out to claires. Last night I told her that I'd have a car so we can do soemthing if she wanted. She would just have to get ahold of me sometime today. Well, I got up and got books this morning with Sarah, and when I got back I took nap. Then when I got up, there was a note on the counter saying that Sarah and I cant take the car unless we have to work. WTF!!!!! I dont know what their problem is right now. I know we havent been home, but they arent home either. Larry has started school again and mom is working alot. Why does it matter? I'm so confused about it! This is when I wish I had my own car, but theres no way in hell I could afford one right now. For once in my life I am pretty broke. Not completely, but mostly! This Sucks!!!

So, I know my last few entries have been kinda sad and down. I'm finally getting out of my depression mode. Things are looking up again and I've been waiting for this moment. I'm starting to be happy again. I love it!!! I just keep loooking at the brighter side. Liz and Justin will be home this weekend so thats making me happy. It sucks bc I'm still gonna be working my ass off, but I guess thats just a price I'm gonna pay. I'm gonna talk to Angie a little tomorrow bc I like working but 35+ hours is killing me. I know my paycheck is gonna be nice and big, but I just dont think its worth missing out on a few other things. My parents did the tree today and I wasnt here. It jsut hasnt felt like Christmas. It kinda made me want to cry when I realized that I was at work and my family was doing the tree without me. Things just arent the same anymore. Its sad, but anyway. The semester is almost over and Liz and Felix are gonna be home!!! I'm so excited!!!

Your best holiday memories are of childhood foods and traditions. You secretly still wish you believed in Santa Claus.

Thats what I told I told Larry earlier today. Its pretty much true. Kinda Sad isnt it. I havent been doing anything but sitting in my room the last few days. I have nothing to do or to look forward to. I hate it so much! This is why you guys need to come home!!!

Dan seems to think he still has a chance with me. He doesnt and I told him that, but thinks he does. I just dont get it. Whatever! I'm talking to him again and he should just be happy with that.

You Are Pumpkin Pie

You're the perfect combo of uniqueness and quality. You're able to relate to many types of people with many different tastes. But you're by no means generic or ordinary. In fact, you're one of the most original people around. Those who like you are looking for something (someone!) special. You tend confuse people when they first meet you. You're not as complicated as you seem. Even though you have a lot of spice and flavor to you, you're never overpowering. You are a calm and comforting force in people's lives.

So my laptop has been messing up alot and I got frustrated so I decided to reset it completely and just start over. So far its working better than it was. I know I had alot of crap on there and it wasnt helping. I lost this AMAZING picture of jack skellington though. I'm so upset!!!!

I havent been up to much. Mostly just work and doing random school things occasionally. I'm so ready for the semester to be over with. I have about 2.5 weeks left. I CANT WAIT!!! Its getting annoying. Its been too simple! I paid for my classes and that SUCKED!!! It was way more than I wanted to pay but thats what I get for taking 16 credits. I know I shouldnt be complaining bc the rest of you are in worse debt than me, but still.

Lifes just kinda blah right now. I dont really have much to do. No one to really hangout with or anything. You guys need to come home and entertain me!!!! Jk...kinda!!!! I am really looking forward to new years eve though. Its gonna be a blast!!!

Ohh and I finally got my stuff back from Dan. Well most of it anyway. He still has 2 of my cd's but I think I'm gonna ask Shaun to burn them for me bc I know he has them both.

Anyway, thats all I have to say right now. Life is kinda boring right now!!!
