Mer tagged me to do this...
List 10 songs that begin with the letter given to you and explain why you picked them. Comment and I shall give you a letter. (though I doubt anyone besides mer will comment XD)
So I have L...
1. LA Woman by The Doors- do I even have to explain? This is Jim Morrison at his SEXIEST with the voice and the lyrics...mmmmm
2. Layla by Derek and the Dominos- pretty much one of my all time favorite rock songs ever. This version is so much better than when he does the slower one...
3. Linger by The Cranberries- my favorite song by the Cranberries. The lyrics apply to lots of situations that everyone knows about.
4. Last Living Souls by Gorillaz- One of my faves by them due mainly to the lyrics. Well and I do enjoy Damon Albarn's voice too.
5. Love is the Answer by Todd Rundgren- Always loved this song by good ol Todd... even when I was young XD
6. Loser by Beck- I don't know too much of Beck, but what I have heard I like. This is the one I probably know best.
7. Living Loving Maid (Shes Just a Woman) by Led Zeppelin- This is a really short but really good song by Led Zeppelin
8. Lights by Journey- OK I ADMIT IT! I LIKE SOME JOURNEY SONGS!
9. Little Acorns by the White Stripes- This has a great intro with some famous narrator guy, I cant remember his name. But its a great song.
10.Losing My Religion by REM- One of my favorite songs by REM, though there are only about three songs by them that I like.
Thats an interesting mix XD

Things are good with me, for the most part. Good for me I guess.
My throat hurts, which worries me, but I think its just sinus drainage. I hope so anyway.
I got my Daria series DVD today, which made me very happy. I love that show and the quality is pretty good. Josh was happy that I bought it too. Josh got his Wii a couple days ago. Theres this really fun game called Wario Moves, where you have to move the Wii controller in all these different ways to play mini games. Its quite fucked up too... very Japanese-y style.
Work is going very well. I like it a lot at Fridays. I mean yeah it has its sucky aspects (I got a two dollar tip on a 47 dollar bill, for instance. Damn black people and their shitty tips) but it is just so much better than Bennigans. And the people there are really nice and I enjoy working there. Its just so much easier and I'm so much happier working there. I feel that I belong there more than I ever did at Denso. Ahhh... such a relief to be done there.
Things with Josh and I are going well. I talked to him about his girlfriend Ellie coming over too much, and he was just saying that he doesn't really realize just how much she does come over. He also said that he had hoped I would have said something sooner, that I shouldn't ever worry about talking to him about stuff. He also said that he was sorry, he just tries to please everyone. Which I can certainly understand. He and I also decided to live together another year, and in our same apartment. I love this place, its the first home I've ever had where I can say that I look forward to going home. Plus its super close to campus, the rent is a good price, and both Josh and I agree that we hate moving 8D
School so far is keeping me busy in that I have more homework than I have ever had in college. I like the majority of my classes so far. I'm happy to be finally having marketing classes because for some odd reason they interest me.
Speaking of class, I must be heading to my Child Psych class... three hours o fun!

Well its back to the daily grind of school and work. It's amusing to me how after a vacation and I go back to school or work (or both in my case) it feels like I never left. I'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing...
I'm currently in the COB computer lab, trying to waste time between my two classes here at the COB. I just had Marketing Strategy, which seems like it will be a good class. We can get the earlier edition of our textbook too, which will save me oh, about 100 bucks. There is only one exam at the end of February, after that all we have is cases and a group project for the final. One exam for the whole semester makes me go 8D. I have consumer behavior at 2:30, hopefully I get out of that class early so that I can have a nice couple of hours to myself before my Drama Literature class at 5. I like my schedule this semester.
This morning I had my orientation at TGI Fridays. I think its going to be a good place. Already I can tell that its much better than Bennigans. They let us smoke and drink and stuff in the resteraunt after our shift as long as we aren't in uniform. They also offer tuition reimbursment after you work there 90 days, and you can get up to 1000 dollars. Sounds good to me... and plus they have a lot stricter rules for the employees, which I like. At Bennigans it would piss me off so bad when other servers and hosts and stuff would come in way late or do a no call/no show and theyd still have good sections and whatnot. At Fridays there are a lot stricter punshiments, which I like. Hopefully there my hard work will be rewarded.
One thing that is really weird is being at the COB and knowing that Andrzej has class here too, though not as late as me I doubt due to swimming. I've always hung out with him here at the COB, so its a bit strange. Plus I don't know what I'll do when I see him again. Im sure that I will at some point in time. What do I say? Should I be mad or not? Thinking about seeing him makes me angry enough as it is, I'm not sure how I'll be when I actually see him. Hopefully when I do see him it will be in a lonely back alley where there are no witnesses... hopefully anyway.
Of course as I'm typing this he comes into the computer lab... Oh Gods of Fate how you smile down on me... I know he saw me too. I'm assuming that we won't say anything and act like we don't know each other. After two and a half years this is what it comes down too... Fuck.

So its been awhile since I've last updated. Its New Year's Eve and my big plans are to hang out with Meredith, playing video games and watching cartoons. I'm really going all out for 2007 I guess.
Its so strange right now its raining pretty hard and thundering and lightning. In Michigan. On New Year's Eve. I LOVE IT. As long as there is no snow, April is happy...
I'm also happy because I got another job, working for TGI Fridays as a server with Josh. Although Josh is thinking of leaving Fridays, which I told him he could after I got a job there XD. I'm actually pretty excited to work there. And Im so fucking happy that I dont work at Denso anymore. Its like every morning (well, lately afternoon) I wake up and think of another reason why I'm glad I don't have to go to Denso. Its like a huge depressing weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
I'm very optimistic about 2007. I'm not really a very optimistic person most of the time, but I always try to be optimistic about a new year. But I guess I'm just ready to put 2006 behind me and all the shit I had to go through this past year with my worries for my future and Andrzej and Denso and everything else. I think I'm going into this upcoming year a bit wiser, so hopefully it will be better. Who knows? Nothing ever goes according to how we plan it.
Well I'll jump on the bandwagon...

Man... I just got back from a Christmas party hosted by my marketing professor.
I know youre all going O.O, but it was actually fun. I was surronded by very intelligent and professional people. I was very flattered that my prof invited me to the party. Some people thought it was weird that he invited me, but he knew that it would be a good networking opportunity for me which it was. I even got to speak to the Dean of the College of Business. All in all a very productive evening with EXTREMELY GOOD food. Prime Rib (which I don't like but its impressive to say that it was there), delicious pork tenderloin, shrimp, and all kinds of dips and other yummy things. I was so intimidated though that I didn't eat much. They have a really nice house too, which I expected. I even met this guy who makes custom jewelry and he makes stuff for their family all the time. That would be a fun job, to make jewlry. Hey Mer, maybe we should start a Kanzashi business. You could design them and make them, I can do all the business stuff. XD
So for those of you that I haven't told already, Andrzej and I are no longer friends. Yeah, it was a shocker considering that he EMAILED me to tell me he didnt want to be friends or hang out anymore. His reasoning was that he felt I was too "obsessed" with him. Which is fucking ridiculous. Even back when I liked him I would never say that I was obsessed with him. I mean geez its not like Im Mer and hes Gackt. HAW. My conclusion is that hes a huge asshole and that I'm better off not being friends with him. I've also come to the conclusion to no longer be friends with international men unless theyre gay, then they have feelings. Sheesh.
So this week should be pretty good... I have two online finals to do and its MY LAST WEEK AT DENSO. I can't fucking believe it. This week should be pretty easy too, seeing as how pretty much no one is going to be there. So I can slack off XD. I'm excited to have the next week off too... I just hope I can find a job. If I don't find anything this week that is at least promising then I'll look for some serving jobs. I know I can find one of those.
Man I love Todd Rundgren... I'm very happy that Mer got me back into him XD

Hm this is different... I don't know if I like it yet or not. I do like the way this thing is, this= the thing I type my actual entry. I like the font a lot better.
ANYWAY so the interested companies just keep coming. I have another interview this upcoming Tuesday at a place in Ann Arbor called Bulldog Fabricating (dont ask me... all i know is that they have air filters on their website) to help assist the CEO. Which would be awesome, considering shes a WOMAN. One thing I was hoping for at Denso was sort of a female business woman mentor I guess, but I haven't found any at Denso. I mean Sylvia is awesome, but she doesnt really know much about business. Maybe if I get this job I'll finally find a good mentor.
Speaking of Denso, I found out that this one former co-op that I was friends with who left this semester is coming back in January to take my position. At first I was like well should I warn him or what but Sylvia advised me to not say anything because it could get repeated to others. Which is good advice. But I think that I will make a sort of job description thing in case he needs help with something but doesnt want to ask. Maybe I'll post it here so you all can see what I had to do with my job. Though I doubt any of you will want to read it all...
So I decided to take Brandon with me to my cousins wedding which I thought was perfect... he wants to meet the family and he would be fun to go with. Its always a fun time with Brandon around.
Man now that I'm applying for all these jobs I have to clean myself if you know what I mean... the first few days are always rough, but I'll do it. Mer's coming over tonight so at least my mind will be off of it...

Crazy times...
I have an interview tomorrow which just so happens to be the same place that Andrzej is applying for this summer. Go figure.
It all happened so suddenly. Saw the ad Thursday and sent my resume, heard back Friday with an application to fill out. Today I sent it in, two hours later they call me and want me for an interview tomorrow because they were about to hire someone and then saw my resume/ application and want me to talk to them before they make a hiring decision... so that does sound promising at least.
And I'm just ARGH right now because I have a presentation, a final, and a job interview tomorrow. And I still have to do my online homeowork tonight...
So you know... no pressure or anything

First of all, yes I'm aware that I'm listening to classical music. But this is so pretty I just love it.
I just got back from grocery shopping. I should not go to Miejers when I'm hungry because then I buy lots more bad food (ie yummy food that I shouldn't be eating) but fuck it.
I've been smoking a lot more and eating a lot more lately because I'm stressed out from life. When I'm done with everything it will all be better. Mo wants her and I to join a gym together come January, she even said that she'll come to Ann Arbor for it. We shall see how long that keeps up.
So today has been what I will consider our first real snow, where the snow is sticking and a lot is falling. Depressing... for more than one reason. I mean yes we all know I hate snow and driving in it (going home was SUPER fun today, btw) but for some reason winter and snow always makes me particularly lonely. I have no idea why, but it does. Maybe its because I'm more depressed and more likely to think about things like that.
It sucks too because my cousin Amy's wedding is in about a month and a half, and once again I'll be like the only family member without a date besides the children. All my cousins and others will have somebody to go with. And I, yet again, will have no one. And its not like I want a boyfriend or something, I just want someone to go with... someone I know, anyway. I'm not that desperate. Both Mo and Mer offered to go with me but I was like no, lets not give my family even more of a reason to believe that I'm a lesbian. Seriously, a couple people have asked my mom. I love how just because I've never had a boyfriend and dont talk about boys 24/7 that automatically means I'm gay. Didn't you know? Sheesh...
Sigh... two weeks, 3 days, 12 hours...

So I just got back from Andrzej's swim meet. People are always surprised that I go to a lot of his swim meets, but a) he doesnt really have anyone to go support him and b) it is very nice to see all the guys in speedos, don't care what anyone else says. Again Andrzej swam quite badly, and I talked to him afterwards but he wasnt being a douche, surprisingly. God I hate it when guys take sports way too seriously, and when they perform poorly they just let it completely ruin their mood. I mean come on, there are more important things to worry about. I mean when I played volleyball or ran track and I performed bad I didn't get all pissy for the rest of the day.
I'm really surprised that I'm not more tired... even when I woke up at 9:30 this morning I wasn't that tired. Although knowing me at about 4 or so I'll want to take a nap. It's funny that prior to a couple of years ago I never took naps. But now I find them essential.
I was reading the EMU newspaper at the swim meet, and the big story is that some EMU Foundation bought like 5000 tickets for the football games so that EMU could keep it's division 1 status. How sad is that? Division 1 schools have to have an average of 15000 fans a year at the games, and EMU has been having a lot of trouble with that lately. Gee... I wonder why? Could it be because we suck hardcore as a football team? We shouldn't even be a Division 1 school with the kind of record we have... I mean come on, 1-11 was their record for this past season. It seems to me that if they are doing that badly in Division 1 then maybe they should go to Division 2. Maybe they'd actually win some games. Sheesh.
Mer and I were playing Mario Golf yesterday and she asked me if I had Mario Kart. Which I dont but you know, I really should. As I put it to Mer "My collection is severely lacking" without it. So I'm buying it on ebay. I can't wait until it gets here.
Sigh... these next three weeks are just gonna suck. Finals, my last few weeks working at Denso... anyone gonna be around Friday, December 22nd? Because I will be ready to celebrate fo sho.
( No one tagged me to do this, but whatever )

Today was an interesting day. Not that good, but not that bad.
I had to go to the dentist today, which always makes it interesting since I dont go very often. I fucking hate getting my teeth polished but it was nice this time because my hygentist didn't use the gritty shit, which is what I really hate. Apparently there's this new non-gritty stuff and it was great. I also found out the gritty stuff in teeth polish was pumice. Who knew? Josh did apparently... but did anyone else know that?
I also wrote an email to Victor today about this program that hes doing for kids... he wrote some nice things. And it got me thinking about our friendship, which I haven't really thought of in a while. You know, I wouldnt mind a friendship with him that was like my friendship with caity or steven... I only see them once every two or three weeks but when I do its at least pleasent and we still act like were good friends. I like that, but only once every two weeks or so. I can only take their fakeness and drama so long.
Today was also the very first days where I knew that I had something to do at work, but I didn't do it because I didn't care and didn't think anyone would notice. Which they probably won't. And I just could give a flying fuck about Denso, to be honest. Especially in these last few weeks. No one in my group has even said anything about me leaving, by now I know they know. They just don't care. And neither do I. Fuck em all.
Also finally hung out with Andrzej tonight to work on our group project and as always we started talking about other things. We were talking about Christmas presents, and its interesting because he got me something from ebay... which means he had to put some actual thought to it. Weird... and then he was like did you get me a Tool t-shirt and I was like FUCK because I was totally going to get him one at first, but didn't know if he would like it so I got him something else, and I showed him the T-shirt and he loved it. So now I feel retarded, but you know, that present would have been to expected. I like to surprise him. I think he'll still like what I got him. Hopefully...
I always worry a lot if people actually like the presents I get them. I know other people don't care... don't know why I do.

I'm very agitated today. I don't know why. I woke up this morning in a really really bad mood. I was being completely bitchy to Andrzej and he only deserved about half of it. Oh well, what are you gonna do?
It's just that he never has time for ANYTHING. At all. I'm wondering what the fuck he does. I mean yeah so he swims, thats about 30 hours a week for him. Me I work 24 hours a week and spend 6 hours a week driving. That also equals 30 hours. And yet I still manage to get all my work done and I manage to make time to hang out with friends and I have to sacrifice precious time to work on stuff as well. He makes it out like he has it so bad because of swimming and that hes the busiest person in the whole fucking world. I mean right now he and I are working on two different group projects for two different classes, and were both in the same groups. Which I knew would be a mistake, I knew hed try to pawn off the work on me. But I'm just not having it. And in marketing we have to present our project one week from thursday, and he and I were supposed to get it done over the weekend, but he decided to stay at Joe's family the entire weekend. Who the fuck does that? God I don't understand. His mom is just so cold-hearted towards me, but I guess shes like the sweetest woman alive to Andrzej. And if shes still pissed because of that stupid fucking pork tenderloin, I'll pop her in the mouth while no one is looking.
DAMMIT even the insanely nice and unexpected weather isn't putting me in a good mood. Normally if a fluke like this happens I'm pretty happy. I just took a nap which helped a bit. Hopefully when I go to my cardio kickboxing class later it will help me blow off some steam. I haven't been in about two or even three weeks I think, I can't remember. Hopefully I won't die today. I should feel better afterwards... I often do. Thats what I like the most about excercising is that I usually always feel better after doing it.
Sigh... I've just gotta keep focusing on December 22nd. Thats when this semester from hell will be over...

God I have way too much shit in my room. So many clothes, books, cds, dvds, I honestly don't know where the fuck to put everything. I talked to my mom last night who told me not to worry about it, to just shove everything to the side if I have to, and that her and dad know that I can't keep my room clean like I used to.
Fuck I hate it when my family comes out here. Good thing its like once every 8 months.
You know whats really starting to piss me off? People at Circle K still have not changed the fucking contact info! I'm STILL getting emails from people who either want to join Circle K or people who need to contact Circle K... I am not their fucking messenger. And you know, I try to be nice so in the past I would just send it over to Michelle or something, and yet they still haven't done anything. I've written more than a couple of emails to different people in Circle K, asking that they change the contact info. I've been more than fair. So now, no more. I'll just ignore all emails that I get regarding Circle K. Fuck them. Wow great job guys, the club is so sucessful, you CANT EVEN BE ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOUR OWN GODDAMN CONTACT INFO AFTER ABOUT OH, 9 MONTHS.
On a lighter note, I checked the weather for the next ten days, its supposed to be in the mid-upper 50s all this week. Then BOOM as soon as December 1st hits its supposed to drop down to the 30s. Wtf yo?
Oh and thanks for the Spongebob icons Mer... XD

Well it's been an interesting past few days...
I know it's been a little while since I last updated. Things are going all right I suppose, December is really going to suck balls because A- I will have a ton of stuff to do in all of my classes and B- It's my last month working at Denso, and we all know the last month is the hardest. I'll just tell myself to keep focusing on December 22nd, which will be my last day. And you know, I had the idea to talk to my Marketing Prof about finding another co-op job, and he said he could think of some places, but honestly I don't want to work for another corporation. I mean maybe if he just tells me a small business or something that would be good. I guess we will just have to see.
It was weird I had a dream last night that I was working for Denso again next semester and I had to train a girl that I went to Thurston with whom I haven't seen or spoken too in a long ass time to do my job. I guess it was more like a nightmare...
You know I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to work for a big corporation like that. I mean you get treated like nothing, like you aren't even a person, and for what? For MONEY. Is money really that important to some people? That they would subject themselves to being treated like shit? I mean yeah sure someone with enough determination could become a manager to make even more money, but then they have to treat others like shit and they have to be at work like 60 hours a week and they also get treated like shit. It's just not worth it.
But I'm digressing. I was going to talk about the past few days. So on Tuesday Matt calls me and asks me if he can stay at my place for the next couple of days because of issues with his current place and I say sure, because you know, I gotta help a brotha out. So Matt brings the Wii which I was super happy about, and on Wednesday night all I really did was watch Matt play Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, which is SO AWESOME. God I want the Wii just so I can play it. Except it looks really hard, I mean Matt had trouble at some points, so you KNOW it's hard. Anyway, Thursday, ie Thanksgiving, was actually fun as far as Thanksgivings go. I went home and had dinner with my parents, my grandparents, and my parent's best friends and their daughter. It was a very low-key Thanksgiving, which was nice.
So on my home I call Mo to see how her Thanksgiving went and whatnot, and she asked me if I had anything going on that night. I say no, so she and Ian decided to come out. And since Ian has the Wii as well, he brought over his two Wii controllers. It turned out to be one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time. We were all playing the sports games and having a blast.
I wish I could say the same about last night... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. It started out fun, Mo came over and we got food and watched the Golden Girls, we were having a good time. Downstairs Brandon's sister and a bunch of her friends, including Josh's crazy ex Monica, were drinking and whatnot. So later on in the night Monica comes up freaking out and wanting to see Josh and throwing up and I'm just like wtf but she couldn't go downstairs because two other people were too fucked up and puking in the bathroom downstairs. At this point I text Josh telling him to stay the fuck away. So she just ends up staying up here and freaking out and I don't know what the fuck to do, her and her friends were all drunk and incapeable of being rational. Well eventually I finally get her to leave and right as she does, Josh and Ellie walk in. It was just so close. So of course she was freaking out on the stairs but I just closed the door and locked it. Whatever. I fucking hate immature girls and I especially hate them when they are drunk.
So today I have to clean my room because my parents and grandparents are coming for a visit. Which sucks. My plan is to just put all my shit in garbage bags and put them somewhere. Hopefully I can get it somewhat clean...

You know, college students really piss me off.
I'm well aware that I am a college student, and I still stand by what I said.
I mean jesus christ could they be more LAZY? I mean I'm lazy too but damn. Lets take today in my marketing class. We've known since the beginning of the year that we've had to write a paper comparing a sucessful dot com company such as ebay with a dot com company that failed when the internet was first emerging. The paper counts for 15% of our grade as well.
So today in class we were talking about this paper and when it would be due and everyone's complaining because he wants it due on the 30th of November, which is two fricking weeks away. AND he even shortened the length requirement to only about three pages. And then the students were complaining about how this would be difficult, and he said "well I googled the subject and found a lot, it shouldn't be hard" AND THEY WERE STILL BITCHING ABOUT IT.
I mean fuck how lazy can you be. UM HELLO this is a COLLEGE COURSE. It amazes me how little respect people my age have for others and for their education. I mean our professor was being really cool by asking us what we wanted and everything else, only to have everyone bitch and complain. I feel for him, I really do. Hes a nice guy and he knows his shit, he just hasn't taught a class in a few years. And hes always been really cool about letting us kind of make our own cirriculum in the class. Perhaps thats his mistake, now no one wants to do anything.
I spoke up and said uh you know we are in college here, this isnt that bad of a paper and its due in two weeks and this one girl said "well do you want to work on a paper over thanksgiving" I said no but we have TWO WEEKS. Thanksgiving is a week away, and the paper is due a week after Thanksgiving. She didnt really say much after that. It's not like I really want to do this paper or anything, but its just the whole approach that a lot of the students had really pissed me off.
What a bunch of bagegaloops.

Man I'm just so pissed right now. An accumulation of things. Some of which I won't mention... the sucky thing about live journal is that you have people that are on your friends list and can access your friends entries and whatnot, so it's limited on what you can say.
The main thing to piss me off occured last night, while driving to meet my Aunt Heather for dinner, I noticed my brakes were grinding when I pushed down on them very hard. Which I took as a not good sign. I was supposed to drive to Detroit for the Navy vs. EMU game today, but both my parents and I agreed that I shouldn't drive all the way to downtown Detroit with fucked up brakes. So I had to miss the game, which really isn't that much of a big deal since my cousin wasn't even playing anyway. I did want to hang out with my Aunt Heather who I love a lot but never get to see because she lives in Florida, that was the main bummer. But I took the car in early this afternoon and had to pay 230 bucks to get it fixed, but for the work my parents said it was a good price. And I had to put it on my credit card, so there go my hopes of paying THAT off anytime soon.
And all I want to do right now is take a shower since I haven't showered since Thursday and I feel super gross, but our landlord came by this morning to fix the shower and we can't use it until like 10 tonight which by that time I was supposed to be at Heather's Party. I just really want to shower right now and I CANT. I tried going downstairs to see if I could use Brandon/ Jason's shower, but there was no response.
Sigh... now that I'm leaving Denso I really have to start cracking down and saving my money. But that's Ok, if it's what I have to do to leave Denso I'll do it. I'm so apprehensive at the moment, thinking about how my parents are going to react when I tell them. God damn they will be really upset, but oh well. I was thinking about it and leaving Denso is going to be one of the first times that I go against what is "safe" and what is expected of me. Last night when I had dinner with my mom, Aunt Heather, her sister and my Aunt Rene, we were talking about my job (Im waiting until after my Aunt and the rest of the family leave to tell my parents) and they asked me if I liked it and I said no I don't like it at all, and my mom was saying "yeah its not that great of a job but she makes 15.34 and hour so thats just wonderful".
All my parents care about is that I have money. I've told them countless times that I only need enough money to live a comfortable life, to buy food and pay for rent and whatnot. When it comes to looking for a job, whether it be now or after I graduate, I know how much I need in order to live comfortably. I don't need many luxuries, and its few and far between when I really do want something. It's funny, Christmas is coming up and I can barely think of anything that I want. My dad told me that he and my mom will probably just give me money, which is fine with me. I'll probably buy a few things for myself and put the rest of it in the bank.
Why is the world so obsessed with money? I mean yes we need money to live a comfortable life, but beyond that what do you need money for? To buy expensive, "stylish" (even though I've never known what is stylish) clothes and other things. And for what? To impress people? Oh my apologies for thinking that people should be impressed by my intelligence, humor, and my overall personality, not because of the fact that one has a pair of Ugg boots (which are incredibly ugly in my opinion) or t wears shirts that are tissue thin and with the words and images all ready faded. Wow, look at my shirt, I paid 40 dollars for it and it probably only cost 5 to make! I know that image in this society is incredibly important, no matter what happens. It's a sad but true fact. But I still refuse to buy into it. I've tried before, and nothing really changed in my life, people didn't think I was the coolest person ever, guys didn't fawn all over me. I'm happier just wearing my jeans and tshirts and sweat pants and with minimal makeup. And you know ever since I started doing that freshmen year of college not much changed, in fact now I have more friends and have had more male attention than I did while in high school.
Sigh... sometimes I think it's a curse to be so non-materialistic, since so few people are like you.

You know, I look at the date, and it says November 9th. But I think they're lying. Because there is no way that it was November today. It was GORGEOUS out today, nice and warm, and almost 70 degrees. I wore shorts when I drove Brandon to work. It reminded me of the one December... I think I was 13, when it was almost 70 and it was December. People were wearing shorts to school in DECEMBER. Crazy Michigan and your weather.
I had a pleasent surprise today... I got to hang out with Frank, who is here for a month to visit XD. It was so nice to see him, we went to the Ugly Mug, which is like our place and talked about anything and everything. We didn't hang out for long, he had to get back to be with Steven, since the two of them haven't had much time to hang out... which I felt bad about. They're so cute together XD.
So I figured out yesterday that my last day of work will be December 22nd. Which means that after tomorrow I have to work only 17 MORE DAYS. It's so VERY exciting. I guess that I'll have to look for a job in about another month. I think I'm going to look for places in downtown Ann Arbor first (Matt keep your eyes out for me!) and then if that doesn't work then I'll try for Red Lobster or La Shish, I know people who work there, or somewhere else. I really don't care, as long as it's not Denso.
Sigh... I can't wait for next semester. Better classes, better job, better April XD

After about five advising sessions, emails, looking up classes I finally have my schedule decided for next semester. I know how thrilled you all are to hear that.
It was just super frustrating because a) the marketing department has like jack shit for the electives, and pretty much nothing applies to non profit work and b) now that im in the COB, there are only a couple offerings of the upper level classes, so it pretty much made everything difficult.
So witout further ado, my schedule:
Tuesdays and Thursdays:
11:30-12:45 Principles of Finance
1-2:15 Marketing Stragety
2:30-3:45 Consumer Behavior
5:30-6:20 Cario Kickboxing
Wednesdays:
5:30-8:10 Child Psychology
And Human Resources Management online
This schedule is going to be a lot better than the one I have now for the sole purpose that my first class is at 11:30 XD. I'm also excited to take Child Psychology, which is a part of my non-profit minor. I've always found psychology to be interesting.
FINALLY.... its good to have my schedule figured out.
