fixing a hole where the rain gets in



it has been done, y'all! all my school shit (obviously) got sorted out. I'm kind of laughing at myself because of my choice for english. here's a fact: I'm not so good at it. I mean, I read all the time but having to pick out literary devices and all that? No. Plus it being Shakespeare, and I do love Shakespeare, it's probably going to kick my ass because I have to do so much thinking. I can't really think, either. or really I can't articulate what I want to say very well sometimes. I probably didn't even use articulate right. I am really pumped for my Cultural Diversity class though. apparently our final is going to be us cooking food. cooking food. for a final. plus the professor is really awesome so that's a bonus. my government professor though may drive me insane just because of how he speaks and how boring he seems to be. I'M SORRY, I KNOW THAT'S RUDE BUT I CAN'T STAND BORING TEACHERS. the way he lectures reminds me of how child me used to do how-to papers: "and now I'm gonna show you how to blah blah blah, now we're gonna look at this, anyways here's this to look at" YOU DRIVE ME INSANE, PLEASE STOP. plus he's making us have our chapter review done by Wednesday and I didn't even buy my book because a lot of times you don't even need your book, so it's stressing me out.

But now I have to read act 1 of Macbeth, I mean the Scottish Play (you can't call it Macbeth in my class because of ~the curse~, but y'all probably knew that) and do some cleaning before I go to work. it's nice to only have one class on Fridays because that means I have actual time to do stuff before work. plus it's PAY DAY so I may or may not have a cool awesome look what I've got post a-comin'.

it's getting better all the time

I've been kinda stressed lately. there's so much just bothering me. I've been having an on-going battle with my school since the first day I started going there, what with them taking the money I paid them and then saying I never paid and now there was a $900 charge from when they dropped and reinstated me, which they dropped for me. only to drop my spring '11 classes because they made the deadline at noon. who the fuck makes a deadline at noon? anyways, finally got that straightened out only to have them not even have my statement up. I just got it paid, so hopefully I got mom's bank shit right.

and now I'm the only file clerk at my dealership. apparently the girl they hired after me just stopped coming/said she was sick and no one heard from her after that. so that's fun. they've had me up at the Dodge building to help straighten up their filing room so my office down in the Mazda building can get behind, as if I already wasn't because that's why I was hired. and I work every day and every other Saturday now, which doesn't bother me because it means more money but it also means so much more work. I almost like being at the Dodge building more because I know most of the people up there and they actually talk to me instead of staring at me through my office window (it looks out into the shop, it's not like people are just creepin' around). I just feel like I could get burnt out with working and going to school, something I've never done at the same time. I've also been told I need to save up $500 to fix my tire rods/struts. with all the money we've spent on my car, we could've easily bought me a new car. things would be easier if my aunt had actually asked her son if he still had the suspension for my car but whatever, I need to let go of that.

I'm just really glad that Bryan and I are going to his mom's this weekend. there may not be anything to do down there since it's a little shit hole hick town that's only known for it's dairy and college, but it's nice to get away from everything every once in a while. plus we're getting our hair done which is overdue for the both of us. mainly because 3 months after I got mine done last, I still hate because it reminds me of mom hair and I'm not a mom hair person.

I also ordered the boots I've been dying over and Kirby's Epic Yarn, but that can wait for another time because I'll probably make a ~lol look at what I bought with my real grown up money~ post because I'm gonna go to Ulta sometime soon. oh me and my consumer, money wasting ways.

you say you wanna resolution

it's that time again, y'all. time to make a list of yearly promises that no one ever follows because after the first week they get burnt out and just stop. but not this year! I always make resolutions and half ass stick to them (and by half ass, I mean not at all). the idea of a resolution gets me pumped up and excited and then I end up sitting in my bed all day, eating chips and Tumblr'n. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. seeing as how I now have an ~adult job~, it's time to become serious in my efforts. plus I want to be happy with myself for once so why not.

  • lose all this weight/up the fiber/drink more water/etc etc etc
  • be so much more creative and actually start drawing again. how the hell do you have an art degree and not make art?
  • be better in school, especially now that there are classes you need to study for.
  • read more/50 books in a year or w/e that is.
  • blog more even though you’re kinda boring.
  • learn to dress better, even if it’s just a hoodie and pants.
  • become queen of the files at work
  • save money for a potential car/fixing current car (son of a god damn bitch)
  • spend more time with Mimi because you love her and she thinks you don’t
  • maybe make more circle scarves for profit even if they’re kinda wonky
  • BE NICER AND LESS CRANKY.
yes, I copied it from my tumblr WHO CARES SO WHAT.

Happy New Year, y'all!



woo, another year to tackle and hopefully not fuck up like I did last year. I had to work NYE but only until 4:30-ish, so I headed over to QuikTrip and bought 3 cans of Jeremiah Weed which I don't recommend at all (except maybe, maybe Spiked Cola) and went to Bryan's. our NYE wasn't very exciting, unless you call going to CiCi's Pizza while I'm slightly drunk fun (which I do because Adventure Time was on). then we went home, watched more Adventure Time, opened champagne and went to bed before midnight. plus I had some really funky dreams, but we won't go into that. the 1st was mine and Bryan's 3 year anniversary, which is really easy to remember and I'm thankful for that. we went furniture and regular shopping, all which made me really cranky because I don't do too well in crowds especially in a mall with probably 300+ people getting in my way. I also didn't buy anything except ~necessities~ at Target. oh yeah, and Bryan spontaneously bought the couch and a recliner. if that's not the best anniversary gift, then I don't know what is.

but now that it's a ~new year~, I have new resolutions that I will stick to. I plan on making 2011 the year I grow up, get in shape, be more creative and actually learn to do things, like cook and save money better (typing this as I'm thinking about buying a new phone case). I feel good about this year. I can make this year mine and I will. oh believe me, I will. I'm going to do all the things I should've done the past couple years. I'm gonna actually make myself happy or die trying (jk, no dying involved).

I'll leave you with this


p.s. another resolution is to become a much better, less awkward blogger. hopefully.
