hello old people, bye bye disney

So...scratch that daycare idea. I got the job today as receptionist/office work/filing at the nursing home in town. 24ish hours a week and the same pay, plus is literally less than a minute down the road from my house, so I took it. Yay! I also quit at Disney tonight which sucked real bad, mostly because I've gotten so attached to the people there and I didn't really think about how quitting would affect that. Kerri gave me a really hard time, which I can understand, but that's not what I was upset about. I'm for real going to miss the people there :( I was on the verge of crying when I got into my car so I called John and he made me feel a little better. And I'm excited about the new job, even if I'm going to be insanely busy from Monday through Friday, but I'll have weekends free to do things and it will be faaaaabulous, yes it will.

Today was another day of rain, rain, rain at school. I was sitting in the car while it was warming up this morning contemplating whether I should go back in the house for my umbrella. I decided not to, out of pure early morning laziness. As I'm driving on the highway I realize I definitely should have gone back for it because my windshield wipers are on the highest speed and I still can barely see clearly. Yeah, not good. But it's too late by this point and I just kept on driving. So much for doing my hair this morning...completley ruined within two seconds of stepping out of the parking garage, not to mention I was freezing all day because I was soaked. Someday I will learn to take the two minutes to go back for the umbrella.

Annnd it's getting close to past my bedtime so goodnight!

i wont go home without you

I GOT THE JOB AT THE DAYCARE!!!!!!! Monday, Wendesday and Fridays after class until the daycare closes!!!

I have to train for two weeks starting a week from today. I also have to get a doctor's note saying I don't have TB and get certified in first aid and CPR. I already went to the doctor today and got tested for TB, and I'm signing up for the Child Care class at the red cross for the 16th. Yay! I also have another interview tomorrow at Portland Care and Rehab for an office job that would be Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I really, really, REALLY hope I get that one too. Then I could easily quit Disney or at least drop to per diem and not have to work anymore weekends!

Today was so productive, I wish everyday could be like today. I got up at 7 and did a bunch of homework. Then I had to go to the gynecologist to get the Gardasil vaccine. I kind of think this is ironic because it's to vaccinate you against HPV and obviously I'm in a relationship so I don't see how I'm going to go out and get an STD but anyways, at least now I can rest easy that I won't get HPV or cervical cancer. I was dead set against getting this vaccine because it's so new and studies have only been going on for 5 years, and I was worried about the longterm affects concerning the ability to have kids. Anyways. So I went to the interview after that and she gave me a tour of the place and then hired me on the spot. Yay! I got really excited and texted John right away and then called my parents cause I was flipping out. Then I went to the gym and worked off some of my excitement, went home and cancelled my hair apointment for tomorrow because I dont have the money to pay for it, made another doctor's apointment for tonight to get the TB shot, and did more homework. Then I called the convalescent home and she wanted to hire me over the phone! So I made an apointment for an interview tomorrow after class, yay for that. Then I had class, the TB apointment and came home. And I've done a ton of research for my religon paper tonight too.

Obviously I'm not being productive right now, but I've done more today than I did all of last semester combined. For real. I dont know what's so different this semester. I'm more organized, motivated, and I am way way WAY happier. Whatever it is, I hope it lasts.

I am determined to go see a show on Broadway before the end of the year. I really want to see the Lion King or Little Mermaid like SO bad. I pretty much just want to go to NYC. I've never been and I live two freaking hours from the city. That's sad.

John McCain and Obama won the CT primaries. I like Obama, but I'm afraid that if he is elected President either he'd be assasinated or some other country would attack us. I hate Hilary. I love McCain, so I'm voting for him because it's pretty obvious at this point that he'll get the bid for Republicans. Oh, and my grandma refers to Hilary as the lesbian whore, which I find hysterical. She blurted that out at dinner last Sunday and I think my dad almost choked on his steak. If you want to stay sane, never ever bring up politics or religion around her. Anyways.

YAY FOR NEW JOBS!

i'm pooooor =(

I am officially ridiculously poor.

I have like...186$ to my name. I get paid Friday but it wont be more than 75$. This is awesome. I need gas. I have a hair appointment but I will probably have to reschedule until I have more money. I owe John $1000. Sweeeet.

I have another interview tomorrow, crossing my fingers. It would be for MWF 4-7 at a daycare. Then I'd still need something TR in the mornings, or I could just keep Disney for that but I don't know. I'd much rather drop that down to per diem.

I had more to say but now I'm depressed because of my poorness so I think I'll just go to bed.

all we are, we are

I have an interview at a daycare on the turnpike Friday at 4:30. My life would improve in so many ways if I got this:

- a set schedule...seriously the worst thing about my job is not knowing what i'm working until four days before.
- no weekends! no nights!
- its on my way to school so i wouldn't be using all the extra gas/time to get to disney.
- i wont be spending all my money on things at disney!
- it'll look better on my resume.

I am officially one week into the semester and have not skipped any classes! I'm also keeping up with the majority of my reading which I've never done before. I went to the gym today and burned 600 calories, yay =) What a productive day! Hopefully I can keep this up.

Sooo...the weekend! Saturday was 6 months for me and John. He got me a cute little bear thing that talks and I love it. And we got our picture in a photobooth at the mall which I've alllways bugged him to do with me. We spent almost all weekend together, which I loved, because I never see him during the week anymore. I don't remember ever being so happy. Even my mother keeps telling me she's never seen me this happy. She even told Erin that she's glad I finally found someone so perfect. And yes, he's perfect. =) I seriously seriously seriously love him so much and I feel like I'm crazy for being like this because it's only been 6 months, but I can't help it.

I feel so bad for Uncle Gary. Well I do and I don't. I mean, I totally understand where he is and how hard it is for him right now, but I almost can't feel bad because he got himself into this. Just like I got myself into my mess. It's only been 2 years since I came home and had to tell everyone why I was home and face everything I'd gotten myself into, and he's going through all of that right now. The first six months of being home were absolute hell, between the hospital and the rumors and everything..it just sucked. And I wish he didn't have to go through that too, I wish he could just concentrate on getting better without worrying about all that crap.

John totally made my night with his John Cena news. I love when he gets excited like that. He's changed so much since moving into the apartment and starting work...and I'm so glad for him. He deserves to be happy more than anyone I know and it's about time it started happening for him.

I'm super tired and going to bed at 9:30...that's a record! =)

blustery day

I haven't written in a long time. I've been working between 25-30 hours a week and going to school full time, so things have been a little busy. Overall though, things are great. I am so happy, so it kind of makes any stress not matter as much. I haven't been going to the gym much, so that's my new focus. I love going, it's just been a matter of finding the time to get there. And eating better too, which pretty much translates into making sure I eat enough. I've done good so far this week.

I'm almost done Christmas shopping; I've finished Mom, Dad, and Nanny & Bumpie. I know what I'm getting Erin and John, but I'm stuck on Andrew. The one thing about finishing this early is that I get really anxious to give people their gifts. I also have to send out my cards soon before it's too late.

I am so ready for this semester to be over with. I've got the rest of this week and then Monday & Wednesday next week. Soo looking forward to five weeks with no school. Speaking of, I have to go to the library today and do research on a theologian for my religion class. Not going to be fun.

It's cold and windy and gray outside. That's got to be why so many people hate winter, it's always so sad looking.
