  • oooh, boy!

    I got a job offer, but its not the one I wanted. Its for FastSigns, working full-time, five days a week, 8-5:30, $8/an hour.

    It really just hit me that I don't want to leave Kumon.

    I want to work at Hot Topic or the library, really.

    Those would be so much better.

    Ugh.

    But I don't know what to do.

    This shall be interesting.

    I'm supposed to go in this week to discuss paperwork and all that, plus I'm meeting Teisha to discuss how she got craploads of money to SMU. I figured if I could raise my GPA, I could possibly get a helluva lot to transfer. Maybe I could quit Kumon for just this semester and stuff....I don't know.

    I love those kids, I love it so much.

    What would you do in this situation?

  • That's why they're called "crushes"...

    I've considered popping "Sixteen Candles" into my DVD player for the second (or third?) time this month. Ah, to be consoled by the antics of Farmer Ted, John Cusack, and the hot guy Sam likes who looks like he's already graduated college. Jake, right?

    Now, I'm not sure how much in detail I should get because I hate being judged. But in my state of being right now, I'm kind of a loner. I just don't do much of anything with my friends because I can't get a hold of 'em or I'm just lazy.

    There's a boy. Yeahh, I know. I'm starting to try to get over a crush that ended devistatingly (is that a word?). I cannot stand to look at his facebook updates because they're all about him and his girlfriend, all the sickening stuff. But this guy that I met really likes me. I don't get it. Really.

    He said I'm attractive (hot and sexy were the terms he used, but that is mindboggling AND mindbottling at the same time and I will only accept that I'm cute, so ha) and a very nice person. Okay, well, thanks. He's actually quite the catch and when I started talking to him I never thought he would actually be interested in me in such a way.

    I don't know where I'm going with this blog, other than life stinks sometimes. To quote Forgetting Sarah Marshall, "When life gives you lemons, f*** the lemons!" Maybe my pity party needs to be deemed over; its now 4AM and everyone's parents are driving by the house to spy on their beloved childrens. Its time for the day after, when you look at yourself and the stupid things you've done, and say "My, I can do better than that. I can be better than that. I AM BETTER THAN THAT."

    I am better than all my hopelessness, my fears, doubts, hate, self-pity, haughtiness, angst, lust, everything. God has made me better than all of that, and in this season of being broke beyond all reason, feeling destitute, wondering what is going to become of me and my future, I must fight on towards what I want. Whether what I want is money, college, or a relationship, God will provide for me if I work hard.

    After this Sunday's sermon, I know I can be close to God in my struggles and that oftentimes thats what it takes for people to really learn the heart of God. I know if I start to trust in Him again fully, unashamed, I will be well taken care of. That is fine by me.

  • I've fallen...can I get back up?

    I need to write through this so maybe something will seem logical, or someone will see what I've written and perhaps give me a bit of advice because I'm certainly confused at the moment. Its probably due to my brother's sudden burst of gung-ho-ness that is making me feel this way.

    I thought I had made the right decision; to leave DBU and continue my education at the place I started. Well, I just realized that as SOON as I leave DBU I will have to start paying back the $5000+ that is my student loan. Yikes! I'm not sure I would be able to do that and continue my studies elsewhere.

    Part of my is thinking that I messed up big time a while ago. I should have tried harder to get into SMU (my school of choice since I was about 9) and for some reason I think I will only be able to succeed if I complete a journalism degree from that school. Why? I don't really know.

    I could go to sonography school; it would take a year and a half, I believe, at El Centro. Then I could get a job taking thermal images of babies part-time, go to school the rest of the time.

    I'm struggling right now to really see what is a good decision and what isn't. I was happy about a week ago, and now I'm not. My brother was hiding in his room, not asking for my car. Now he is out and about, being all positive and crap, asking to borrow my car when I don't have enough gas to get to work and back.

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, GOD, AND I NEED YOU TO OPEN THE DOORS FOR ME!

    I surrender every little ounce of ill-conceived plans and hand them to You. You created me, You know what I want, You know what I need. Please, God, help me figure out what to do and who to be!

    Headlines and Deadlines - The Hits of A-HA

    Take On Me

    I'm going to ATI technical school tomorrow to check out the dental assistant program. Yeahhh, you're probably thinking "WTHBBQ" with that one, but hey, if it doesn't take too long (AKA six months) I would be willing to do that. I think I probably need to move to California within the next couple of years...hm. That'll be interesting.

    If that doesn't work out, I've applied for a job at an optometrist's office. That could be entertaining and insightful. Maybe entertaining isn't the right word, haha. But I think I might just go back to Collin withdrawl from DBU and get an AA in music biz, English or art. Most likely it'll be art or English since that's what I've got the most credits for. WOOT. Then I think I'm going to transfer to UNT for Creative Writing with a minor in RTVF (if they have minors in that field?).

    Yep. I think thats whats going to happen.

    I love radio but its slowly fading away...there are hardly any promo events to work nowadays and frankly its annoying, having to wait so long for paychecks that are miniscule amounts of money.

    Mom and I took a walk this morning around the neighborhood, then down Kelly to look at the creek and stuff. It was beautiful. We got to talk about work, and all the jobs she had and how she went to Data Entry college in Wilmington and drove to Kentucky (from Clarksville! OH) to have a job for a couple of weeks. Wow! Now I'm pretty sure I can do whatever I want to do and God will provide where I let Him. Its letting Him take control thats the hard part!

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
    By William Baldwin, Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel
    see related
    I've been cleaning out my room today while watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall, enjoying the feeling that I have when I dump massive amounts of envelopes and papers from colleges saying that I've been accepted, but with no financial aid, along with all my library papers into a trash bin. Its kind of sad, but kind of liberating. I'm no longer that child that needed to go to a prestigious school because her best friends were all going to one.

    Cleaning up is having some strange effects on me. I just want to rid my room of every unnecessary thing, which has almost been done completely. It lets me know I am not owned by my posessions, but I own and control their state of being. Love it.

    My main goal for the rest of 2009 is to get out of debt and become financially stable. I want to take a couple of writing classes at Collin so I can start working full force on the scripts I'm starting to dabble with and get healthy and can go see doctors for the things that are ailing me. I feel like I also need to be more independent; my best friends are off in their own worlds, and all of a sudden I feel as though I'm stuck in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I'm fine with that.

    Growing up has been difficult for me, but I feel like I'm kind of actually getting there now. I know what I need to do and what I want to do, and that they are two entirely separate entities. That's fine with me. I just can't wait to get past this point, look back, and hopefully become a better person for all of it.
