i haven't written in a while. partly because i've been busy, and partly because i don't know what to write about. but here's a brief little update on the past couple weeks:
- i started bartending at work. more money, yay!
- my classes got dropped because my financial aid didn't come through in time. so long story short, i have an extended summer vacation. :/
- i'm saving up money for a trip to hawaii with rob next year. exciting!
- ........so i haven't been able to blow money on clothes lately. :(
- mercedes [my new kitten] is doing well. her and olivia [my ferret] get along well too. i was afraid of a disastrous encounter, but they're friends! yay!
more updates will come soon, my darlings. but for now, it is 3:30AM and i really should get some sleep. ;)
- laundry
- target
- michael's
- painting
- apartment hunting
- knocked up
[overall, a good day.]
oh, and bri & i are most likely going to get that apartment we looked at today. it's not much more than we're paying now, and it's in better condition. the only real pitfall is...:dun dun dunnnn:...it's in woonsocket. ugh. my commute to work/school just grew a whooooooole heck of a lot. so much for being walking distance from RIC. :(
and speaking of school, i have a whole host of issues to deal with next semester that i need to sort out ASAP. but long story short, they're trying to screw me on my financial aid. oyyyy vey. :(
and in case anyoe was wondering, knocked up was actually really funny. you should probably go see it if you were considering it. :)
okay well i'm tired and i have work tomorrow @ 12.
so nite nite everyone!
so over the past few days i've noticed an influx of pictures and status updates on facebook, concerning college graduation. my high school graduating class, the class of 2003, has graduated college. i've seen tons of pictures popping up of my former NPH classmates donning caps and gowns again, ready to take on adulthood and the working world. all the kids i was in national honor society with, all the kids who were in honors and college prep classes with me...all walking cross the stage of the University of Whatever and getting that piece of paper that society cares so much about...
...and i'm not a part of it. and frankly, i don't really care. i don't give a shit if people think that i've fallen behind or whatever. truth is, i have a hard time dedicating myself to getting school over with. why do i continuously enroll in and then drop classes? i only have a year left. and i'm so close that i might as well (and i will eventually) finish anyway. but for what? so that i can get some stupid job in the future that only cares about my credentials? i don't want a career. i don't want something that presumes importance simply because it requires a degree to obtain. i don't want something that will try to take precedence over my life and family and my future husband and kids.
i'll get my degree and then i'll get a job that i enjoy. i don't want to be like the DM at my work, for example. his passion is working for the restaurant. if i ever get to that point in my life then i think i'd rather be dead. its like the same thing anyway. my career will never come first. i want my passion to be living. and i think it's crazy that anyone would let something other than living take the wheel.
okay. that's enough for right now. :) i just felt like getting that out. and by the way i dont mean to be completely bitter. i wish everyone that did graduate sincere congratulations, and i'm sure many of them will go on to do great things in life.
wright's farm & twin oaks' sauce! lol
happy monday :)
1. i am trying one of those detoxify-your-body diets. let's see if it works. basically it consists of a lot of green tea and organic juice/broth [it's a week-long liquid diet]. so far i haven't felt hungry yet...although, 'tis only day two. ;) we'll see how this pans out. heh.
2. i really want to check one of those dream websites to check out the significance of certain images that have been showing up in a lot of my paintings. i figure since dreams are subliminal messages, maybe creative endeavors have some sort of unintended subliminal message as well [obviously they all have a level of personal meaning, but i'm curious as to what's beyond even that].
3. i registered for three classes in the fall; i still need to find another one to enroll in to make full-time status, but i don't know what to pick! i was interested in taking an asian philosophy class, but it was already full. :( and i can't take any of the fun art classes because i haven't taken the prereqs yet. SOOOOO that leaves me with....english? i already took the zen class. meh. i just want to take something fun and interesting to break up the monotony of all my psych classes. i wish yoga was a class!
4. it is laundry day, which means i must journey back and forth to the landromat all day. le sigh. i don't feel like going to hell tonight. i do, however, feel like going to the pzc tonight at six for the meditation class. zen = good times.
5. i'm thinking about buying a bicycle. gas is getting way too pricey lately. plus, it's getting nicer out seeing as spring has, well, sprung...so it'd be nice to get a little exercise while enjoying the sunny weather.
and on that note, i've run out of blurbs! have a great day everyone!
i will start by saying that my roommate introduced me to this fabulous thirft-type store yesterday, called the hope chest. $100 later, i am now the proud owner of dolce & gabbana sunglasses, a louis vuitton scarf [which at the moment is doubling as a curtain, considering how giant it is], a black prada bag, and a beat-up vintage gucci bag which i absolutely adore. nikkie bought a cute charm bracelet and a louis bag. this store is seriously a godsend. haha.
i spent the past few nights creating some new things, which is always fun. i also painted a wine bottle, which i didn't photograph. but considering how many wine bottles i go through, i figured why not try to reuse at least some of them? heh. i'll probably buy some fake flowers for it and leave it somewhere in the apartment. :) also, i painted another picture of olivia, only this one's entirely black & white. i'll have to remember to take a picture of that one for next time.
other than that, life's been pretty...average. i was stuck in a funk earlier this week but it seems as though i've come out alive. which is always a good thing. :) i guess with all the stress of school piling up, not to mention the neverending stress at work and then various other issues that come and go, it's enough to drive anyone a little mad. it just seems like everyone else is better than me at managing it. ehhhh.
speaking of school, i have to go study for the chemical dependency test that i have to take in less than three hours. fun fun.
hope everyone has a stellar day :D
i feel horribly nauseous today. i woke up around 6 [before my alarm went off] with horrible cramps. ugh. i feel like death right now. i hate being a female today.
so i am going to skip my 8am today [GRR] and overmedicate myself in hopes that i live to see my 11am class. [alright, maybe i'm overreacting a bit. i know i'll live.]
....i am all about asides today, apparently.
