Cake or Death?.....Cake please!!

So, today was an okay day I guess despite the fact that I am completely exhausted. I went to my first class, got home, got the rest of my books, went to my second class, waited for Chris, took my car to go get fixed, and then Chris and I decided to go get ice cream cake from Dairy Queen to top of the day...haha....it says Happy Hump Day! Pictures are on my facebook.

Anyway, I'm kind of worried about some of my classes because they are going to be really hard. And I'm also worried about my anatomy grade that I took over the summer. First off, I'm worried that it will transfer, and secondly I'm worried if they'll take it because I didn't get a C or better. I was talking to a girl who got a D in it and she said she has to take it again, so that makes me nervous. But, I'll do some serious begging and just hope that they'll take it and leave me be.

Other than that, things are okay. I'm just ready for the weekend (and to have my car back!) I hope everyone else's semester is going well so far!

And a back to school we go....

So, summer is officially over and tomorrow classes start up again. Woohoo! I'm kind of looking forward to it and kind of not....I think once I get into my routine things will be better. Things seem so hectic right now that it's getting stressful already. My first class is my gym class at 10:10 and I'm really interested to see how that turns out for me. I also have my Clincial Strategies for Speech Language Pathology tomorrow as well and I'm really looking forward to that just so I can see what it's like hands on (if that's even what the class is) and then I have work (which is going to be hectic because Peter couldn't give me all the stuff I needed today, so I have to go tomorrow and get it all...blah!) The good thing about work is that the only day I work and go to school is on Monday because I don't have class on Fridays and then I'll be working Sundays...so that kind of worked out. I also don't have to work 3 days in around like last year, so hopefully that will limit some of the stress.

Well, that's about it for now. I hope everyone has a good first day of school and good luck!

P.S. My room is on an angle and I feel like I'm slanted.....this will be fun...haha

Sammi is the dog from HELL!

I really hate my dog Sammi right now. She has this habit of digging under the fence and getting out and we even got our fence fixed so it wouldn't happen anymore. But of course today she got out and she always runs away from you like she thinks she's playing a game....it's so not funny though. She ran all the way up King Soopers, crossed Holly (thank God it wasn't that busy) and ran towards her vet which is in a whole other neighborhood. This guy in a pick up saw her and stopped her for me to get her and I had to ask a stranger that I didn't know to give me a ride home because I knew that I wouldn't be able to get her home with just holding her by her collar (definitely not my smartest moment, but I was panicked and wasn't thinking). So, my mom was upset because the dog nearly got herself killed, could have gotten me killed by crossing Holly myself, and then getting in a car with a guy I didn't even know. She wasn't mad at me though because I didn't really have much of a choice...and the guy did end up being a really nice guy and he took me right home, so it ended up being all right. My mom is so mad at Sammi though and she can't outside anymore without the tether, which will depress her, but if she can't stay inside the yard, she will have to deal because I'm not chasing her again. This was her last chance and if she gets out, she gets out and that's that. I love her, but she isn't worth all that trouble.

Well, I didn't have my hair appointment today (which is a good thing because after that treatment I can't get my hair wet for 3 days, and right now I'm sweating from running on the hottest day of the week). So that was good and I have my appointment on Thursday. I also cancelled my interview tomorrow because my dining hall thing came about and I'd rather work there because it's easier with my schedule. Yeah, I said the dining hall was my last last resort, but even though I don't like much, it is easier.

Well, I hope everyone has a good last week of summer and I'll see you all this weekend!

I wonder how many post titles I have that say GRRR!

Well, it's been a far interesting week. First off, my car's transmission is shot...AGAIN! The people in Greeley apparently fucked it up royally, so now I won't have it back until Thursday (and I have to get my hair straightened on Tuesday, so my dad has to leave work to go take me there...which sucks for him.) I also have a job interview on Wednesday and Bath and Body Works at 8:30 in the morning so, I have to wake up early that day to get to Greeley in time, go to my interview, and then go straight back so my dad has his car for the rest of the day (which also means that I can't go to Monica's thing at Old C's because I have NO WAY to get there....blah!)

I also got my grade for my anatomy class I was taking and while I didn't fail, I didn't pass with a C or better either, so I'm just hoping that my advisor says, yeah that they'll be able to count that class since I took it and at least passed it. We'll see what happens, and I'll be really REALLY pissed if I have to take it a THIRD time. I was talking to my neighbor who is a nurse and she says anatomy is ridiculously hard and my doctor actually said the same thing. It also didn't help that my teacher was a moron and half the stuff I got counted off for was for spelling. I'm sure if he didn't count spelling, I would have gotten at least a C. GRR!

On top of it all...I got an e-mail from Peter saying that the student cook thing is changing and all I'll be doing is help set up fruits and vegetables on the salad end (which I did end up liking better than actually working with the cooks and that was the one part I enjoyed about my job)...but the bad thing is that Peter is taking FOREVER AND A DAY to get back to me with various information. He says the schedule I want may not work since he's changing "student cook status" or whatever...so I sent him a new one that might work and I have yet to hear back to him. I actually would rather work there then in retail because in this case I can go home for Christmas and be able to work and Bed, Bath and Beyond like I promised them I would...I could go home on weekends if the occasion stood for it, and it just works better with school because they are aware that school has to come first and are very flexible. But he needs to respond quicker than he has been. I just want to know that I have something there because if he says that I definitely have it, I'm probably just going to end up taking the dining hall thing because it's less stress with school since I'll be working less hours.

But, yeah, that's all. I just got home from a grueling 4 days in Texas a couple of hours ago. It really is too freaking hot down there. But I got a lot of new clothes that I can wear for school and got to see some family, so that was good.

I'm just really looking forward to going back to Greeley and starting a new year. I really can't wait to get back into the swing of things again. I can't wait to see you all on Saturday!

If I must...

So, the Bed, Bath and Beyond in Greeley wouldn't take me this year AGAIN....and on the way home the dining hall seemed to sound okay because in that case I can just make my own schedule and go home for the whole Christmas break and in that case I can work at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond down here...which will be okay. I e-mailed Peter, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Yeah, the dining hall sucks balls, but it's a job and it won't be so demanding...especially during the school year.

BUT...in other updates....Wendy's just came out with the VANILLA FROSTY! MMM MMM goodness that was. That was definitely the highlight of my day. My dad went to New York today and let's just say it's a good thing he got there early because of course today is when the whole terrorist thing came up and it took him 3 hours to get through security. He also had to move all of his toiletries to his check bag because no liquid is allowed in a carry on. Now I'm nervous because my mom and I are going to Texas next week and I'm afraid it's going to take us forever to get through everything.

Well, that's pretty much it for now. I hope everyone is enjoying the rest of their summer! See you all in a few weeks!

Why can't things just go right for once?

I don't understand how life works. I called the Greeley store today just to make sure that I have a job when I go back to school, and the store manager was like "Well, when you're town come in and fill out an application and we'll see what happens." What the hell? I shouldn't have to fill out an application...I told him I'm a supervisor and that I don't have to work that many hours...but apparently 6 other people want to transfer. I'm going to tell my manager about it and maybe she'll call and work some magic, but I doubt it will work. So, now I'm really mad at myself and my managers for waiting so long to try and get transferred...and what's worse is that another co-worker of mine already got transferred and that's what happened to me last year. I just hope that I can get a job next semester. I really don't want to work at the dining hall and even that wouldn't be definite. So, I'll be going up to Greeley next Wednesday to fill out an application and hopefully talk to the store manager so maybe I can get hired right then and there. Blah, this really sucks. I'm also really freaking out about my class. I only have Monday left and I have my test...I just hope I pass, I really do.

Well, that's all for now really. Perhaps I'll stop by on Wednesday and visit you all. Have a good day.
