It seems that about once a month i get a xanga subscription digest in my e-mail, despite the fact that it seems no one really uses this site anymore. I figured I'd put SOMETHING up, cause it's been ages.

Well, it's been... 9 months this time. Haha. I guess xanga and I don't really bond like we used to. But, i figured that an update could be fun.

I don't really know where to begin, a lot can happen in 9 months.

Let's start with school. I DID drop the ed major. I also feel like I'm  NEVER going to graduate. But whatev... I will, it might just take til i'm 50. haha. I'm taking astronomy this semester. It's an awesome class that I've wanted to take since I was a freshman and I never really thought I'd be capable-- the professor, Dr. Bradstreet, has been called the most difficult professor on campus. Now that I'm in the class I really don't agree. Yes, he does have high expectations, but he always makes his expectations fully known. For instance, I have a test on Monday. I have to have 30 constellations memorized: be able to pick them out in the sky, name the major stars in them, and draw them on demand. It's a lot of work (to the extent that I have spent something like 7 hours in the planetarium since Wednesday), but it's not impossible. I actually feel pretty confident that I can get an A on this test. Maybe it's just that I actually want to do well, but I also feel like there is an agreement of mutual respect in this class. On many occasions, I've sat through classes where I've felt that my professors have an extreme lack of respect, even solely on the human to human basis. It kind of makes it an uphill battle, which I've realized is completely unnecessary. ANYWAY... that is that.

How about boys. Well, uhm... there is one. And I love him. And in 1-2 weeks there will potentially be a very ecstatic update in this blog... and I'll leave it at that.

I work at Starbucks. I love it. I hate it. There has been a lot of unnecessary drama there in the past few weeks, and apparently one of the older gentlemen we work with told one of the older ladies that we work with to "fuck off"... seems to me like that's drama. Comical, but a little harsh. There are sometimes where I would stay at that place all freaking day long-- a few people who i work with just click with me-- and we have a blast and get things done. Then there are other days when everything goes wrong, and we're understaffed, and all that I want to do is SMACK someone. For instance, yesterday was busy all day long-- i was only scheduled for 4 hours and Amber and I went in in the morning to study... 3 people asked me if I could come in then, several times, even when I said the reason that I couldn't was because i had class. I would have, but I pay for school. Sorry, but I can't grab an extra couple of hours of school when I feel like it. But Amber and I both went in at 1... and we figured it'd be kinda busy but not hellish... and then it occured to me that it was friday. and that there would be only 3 of us on during the 3:00 friday afternoon middle school kids rush. It's quite possibly the worst hour of the week-- they all want either frapuccinos or hot chocolate... and it gets really annoying really fast. It got to the point where I was marking frapuccino cups for amber and writing on them exactly how they were made so that she could do it without asking questions. It was.... exhausting. and obnoxious.

Uhm... that's really about all that's going on right this minute. I'm constantly planning... for something... that I'll mention eventually.... when it's official....


anyway kiddies, I hope you enjoyed my whistle stop update tour. It kind of sucked and didn't address most of the things that have happened recently, but that's okay.
