Feels like Fall

Today went pretty well.  History class was boring as usual.  I can't focus in that class, what he writes on the board never coincides with what comes out of his mouth.  So, I feel like I'm not learning anything.  After history, I always go to the library for 2 hours and play computer games until math class.  Today, I found a game that was pretty entertaining and then I finished my math homework.  Math class was again boring, I feel really sorry for my teacher.  He's such a pushover, because he's such a geek.  He kind of fumbles and studders when he talks and has thick glasses.  He's very quiet and I'm reminded of the 40 year old virgin when I look at him.  There are these kids in my class that always talk and he told them once to be quiet and they immediately started talking again.  He's too afraid to tell them to stop talking or leave.  Poor guy.  My communication class is always pretty entertaining.  The kids in the class are really awesome and we all get along really well.  However, my teacher is very similar to my math teacher.  He has glasses and the same hair style.  He is also geeky and lets people walk all over him.

After class I went to babysit Cole and Harper again.  We had fun.  First we played outside and drew pictures with chalk.  I had to convince Cole several times that there wouldn't be a thunderstorm, tornado, or hurricane.  Ha ha.  He thought that because it was halfway cloudy and halfway sunny that it meant bad weather was on the way.  I told him that it was just cold and that it was Fall and that's how Fall feels.  Three seconds later the sun came out and he was like oh you're right.  He's cute.  Harper decided it was too cold and she wanted to go play inside.  We sat down to play some cards, they like 'Go Fish' and 'Crazy 8s.'  Of course, we have to tweek the rules a bit so that they can play.  But, they always have fun, so it's a good time.  Harper wanted to wear her skunk costume and then Cole wanted to wear his pirate costume.  They're goobers.  Harper had some goldfish and then we watched "Finding Nemo."  After the movie they wanted some teddy grahams and decided to take off their costumes.  Then, it was time for me to go home.

Now I'm just waiting for Patrick to get off work.  We're going to go to town to grab a pizza and rent "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."  We're going to take some more pictures of Delilah and just hangout.  It should be a good night. :)

Oops I did it again...

Hello to everyone... anyone?

This is just going to be a quick little update... hopefully to get me back in the blogging groove.  I'm taking classes at the Ivy Tech in Lafayette on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  I'm babysitting Cole and Harper every Monday, so that helps with gas money.  Other than that I don't have a job and I really need one.  Unfortunately with this sucky economy, jobs are few and far between.  

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I just try to stay constructive at home... helping with laundry and dishes.  Mostly I just play computer games and watch television.  I would much rather be working at a job so that I can be saving some money to move out soon.  Living at home has it's advantages, I mean it's free room and board, but mostly it sucks.

Patrick and I are still doing really well.  He's working at the family feed mill.  He'll be getting his CDL pretty soon so that he can start hauling feed.  That will give him better hours and better pay, so we're both looking forward to that. :)  Last weekend, we found a puppy.  Well, she found us!! One day she just wandered into his yard and we've been taking care of her ever since.  She had a big gash on her back, so we've been nursing her back to health.  She's starting to get a lot more playful.  Oh, her name... for the first weekend we just fondly referred to her as Puppy.  But after some thought, Patrick came up with a better name.  He said that we should call her Delilah, like Sampson and Delilah from The Bible.  He said that when we get a big dog, we'll name him Sampson.  Ha ha.  So, yeah we've grown quite fond of her.  She's been through 2 collars already, won't wear her sweater, and is now in love with her new dog house and bed. :)  In the picture, she is sunning herself in the mulch.  She's a goober. :-P

So, all in all life is going pretty well lately.  I can't complain too much.  It would be fantastic if I was employed and engaged ;)  In due time...

Maybe this will work...

Ok, so I still don't really have a concrete plan, but I'm just going to try something and hope for the best.

I work a double tomorrow. :(  Tuesday is my day off.  So, hopefully that morning I will get up and clean my room some.  Then, when my Mom gets off work, we're going to go to Michigan City to see if I can sign up for classes at the Ivy Tech there.  And if the classes work out, I'm thinking about applying to be a substitute teacher.  It's easy money and I'm pretty much guaranteed work if I say I'll work at any school in the corporation.  Plus, I'll have lots of free time to hangout with friends and Patrick.  Unfortunately I won't be making enough money to live on my own.  However, if all of that works out, maybe I can get a second job and start saving up lots of moolah.  So keep your fingers crossed for me. :)

Only one more week until Florida vacation with my favorite people!! :)  This time next week; Katie, Bobby, Patrick and I will be driving to Florida.  We'll be staying in Bobby's sister's apartment... for FREE!!  So, we only have to pay for gas and our food.  I don't think that we have too much planned that will cost a lot of money.  We might do a couple of touristy things, but we'll mostly be laying on the beach, relaxing.... :)  And we're all very excited for that!!  Both of the boys are farmers, so us girls hardly ever see them.  We're all just excited for some quality alone time with our significant others and our best friends!! 

This summer is slowly getting better, I realize that it's hardly summer anymore... but yeah... whatever...

Sorry... again...

Not that anyone actually reads this... but I apologize for my LONG LONG absence.

This summer has just flown by!! I started the summer out with high hopes and a good outlook.  And boy was I wrong...  At the beginning of the summer, I was working anywhere from 45-60 hours a week.  I hardly got to see Patrick and I never saw any of my friends.  I was always so tired and my room was a constant mess.  The pay was nice, but it wasn't worth my lack of sanity.

Since then, I have been working a mere 35 hours a week and I get to see Patrick every night for a couple of hours.  On my days off I hangout with a couple of girls at whatever pool we can get our hands on.  It really pays to know lots of people with pools.  So, we would just hop from pool to pool every week.  And on days that I don't work until 4, I either try to get some stuff done around the house or hangout with friends.  On days that I work until 4... I spend the evening with Katie, my bff and then when Patrick gets off work we all hangout.  So, really the summer is looking up!! :)

Right now, Patrick is back at Ft. Knox.  He has been there since last Saturday and will be there until August 9th.  It really sucks not being able to see him.  We do get to talk occasionally through text-messaging, but that's just not the same.  After I get off work at 4 on August 10th, Katie, Bobby, Patrick and I are driving down to Florida for a week. And the 4 of us couldn't be more excited!! We don't have a lot planned, we're all just so tired of working all the time and we would really like to do something exciting!!  We'll have a free place to stay, so we just have to pay for food and gas.

I have done a lot of shopping this summer.  So, I have lots of cute new clothes, but no money... whoops. Oh well.  I just love summer and the sun and water and free time!! And I'm 21 now... so life is just getting good. :)

However, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. :(  I need to get a job and I need to take classes.  I don't want to live at home anymore, but I don't know where I should live.  I don't know if I want to move to Lafayette and take classes at Ivy Tech and then try to find a job there.  That would mean that I wouldn't get to see Patrick that much. And then, living on my own and paying bills would mean that I wouldn't have any money.  Or I could live at home and drive to Michigan City to take classes.  But then where would I work?  So really I'm asking you my avid blog reader to plan out my life for me... please and thank you!! :)

Bad Summer

As promised here is the story behind why I dislike this skank... :)  This is how I told it to a friend... I don't really feel like cleaning it up, so sorry for the harsh words.

Well, Patrick's brother's girlfriend said some shitty stuff to me... Wait let me back up a bit...

I went home like the last weekend in April.  And at that time Patrick was living with his brother.  So, Patrick and I were hanging out in the living room.  He was playing guitar hero and I was just watching him.  Patrick's brother, Brent, and his girlfriend Belinda* were having a cookout and bonfire.  So, a couple people walked in the house and asked where they were and Patrick said in the garage.  That's all that was said...

Anyway, so that following Monday I was back in Muncie and Patrick sent me a text asking what I said to Belinda.  I said that I didn't even talk to her.  He said that Brent told him that Belinda said that I was annoying or that I annoyed her and her friends.  So I got Belinda's phone number through a mutual friend and asked her what was up.  She sent me back a shitty message.  Stuff like how I'm an instant bitch when I get around people.  And how I'm messy and rude.  And how I think I'm better than everyone and I'm disrespectful.  You know... a bunch of CRAP!!

And since then I haven't really hung around Patrick's family, because ya know... his siblings are older and I can't just tell Brent his girlfriend sucks.  I had kind of come to terms with it and just said oh well.  On a daily basis I hope that karma catches up with Belinda and that Brent realizes she's a no good bitch.

Anyway... Monday of Memorial Day Weekend sucked because they all went on the boat.  Sandi (Patrick's sister) her boyfriend, Brent, Belinda, and some other people.  And I was just really sad because last summer I spent numerous hours on the boat with them.  It was so much fun and I thought that we all bonded and had a great time.  And I just realized that I appreciated "our friendship" more than they did.  And I'm sick of that.  I feel like I am the type of person who would do anything and drop everything to help my friends and I never get that in return.  I was just hurt that just because his stupid girlfriend doesn't like me, now I can never be invited on the boat again.  Some stupid ho that they have known for like 3 months now has my spot on the boat. :(

Well, yeah that's basically why I'm so hurt/pissed/crushed...etc.

**Since sending that message to my friend... I talked to Sandi and she said that I have nothing to worry about...  She said that she doesn't care for Belinda and that there is something about Belinda that rubs her the wrong way.  Sandi told me that she loves me and always will.  So, I feel better about that, but I would be so much happier if Brent would wake up and realize that Belinda is a toxic person.

*Even though I hate her... I won't use her real name in case some people do like her.

Summer

Yeah, so far it has sucked.  Nothing exciting or fun has happened.  I've been working every day for the past 3 weeks.  I've gotten overtime every week.  My first day off will be next Wednesday, I think.  I was supposed to have a day off last week, but I got called in because they were short a person.

And I don't really think it will be getting much better because a skank has started associating herself with some people who are close to me.  I will delve into that more when I can think of a nice way to put it.  People may think it's stupid, but it really hurts my feelings.

Well, that's all I really want to talk about for now... so yeah...

I can almost smell it...

SUMMER!!!

Only 6 more days until I am on my way back to Monticello.  And I can't wait!! :)

I'm so ready to be home.  I'm sick of school and assignments.  I miss just hanging out.  I miss warm days and being outside.  I miss my family.  I miss my friends.  I miss Patrick.

Yesterday I did a few loads of laundry and tried to clean my room a bit.  And then, Patrick came to visit!!  We went to the King Buffet for dinner. And then came back home to watch some tv and cuddle.  He left today for a camping trip with the boys.  So, all day today I have been washing some laundry and folding it.  I ran a load of dishes and washed the living room blankets and the dining room placemats.  I am hoping to start packing and cleaning a bit.  I might even vacuum. :)  I am getting a lot done today.  And I will probably get a lot more done tomorrow, because I'm home alone this weekend.  On one hand, I'm kind of sad... I like people!!  On the other hand... I think it will be good for me.

Ok, well time to go switch my laundry and start some homework.
