Holy Cow.

We got cut off at the gas station today.  Twice, actually.  Thank you, wealthy people who think they own the world, thank you.

Because my mom is now on a rampage.  She has become the ultimate road rage driver - yelling, cutting people off, and all the rest.  She has dropped my sister and I off at home and has taken the car to an undisclosed location.  I don't know what she's going to do.

I think this should upset me more than it does, but the truth is that I'm used to it.  Her mood swings are awful, and while she's nice most of the time, she has moments where things hit her the wrong way and set her off.

What a lovely Sunday, huh?

Summer!!

It's the first day of summer break.

So naturally, my body decided  I needed to wake up at five this morning on my own.  You know, even though I was allowed to sleep in.  Lovely.

But I'm not complaining.

I have a baby sitting gig this afternoon, so I might take a nap between now and then.  Other than that, I basically plan on knitting Harry Potter scarves most of my day and maybe doing some writing.  I love not really having any responsibilities right now.

Next week is my job interview.  I'm pretty excited.  I should have no trouble getting hired.  And working with clothing has the potential to be incredibly fun.  =D

I think I'm going to try to go back to bed now.

Last Day!

This is it.  This is the last day of my spring semester.  As soon as it's over, I can go home and do nothing for a week.  Summer can begin.

I'm feeling optimistic about this summer.  Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the promise of fun, or maybe it's just the fact that I'm not going anywhere.  I really don't know.  But I plan on actually making the most of this break.

Right now, I'm bored out of my mind.  I don't have my middle class and I forgot my book today.  I knew that would be a mistake.  It's like Murphy's law - if you have it, you don't read it, but if you don't have it, you'll wish you did.  At some point I'm supposed to meet up with one of my friends, but he's tied up with homework, so I don't know if that's going to end up coming about.

Oh well.  There's plenty I can do still.  Like finish updating this.

I'm really excited about not having to do homework for a full three months.  I love the writing, but I felt like most of my stuff wasn't my best this time around.  I'm ready to be working on things that I love and care about.  My stories, my collection of poetry, my knitting.

It's just going to be nice. 

I have a babysitting job tomorrow.  That should be fun.  It's only for a few hours, so I think I'll survive.  No extra issues with the dog the last time I watched her, so that's a good thing.  And then I can kick back and enjoy my weekend.

I'm a little nervous about my job interview.  It's not for another two weeks, but still.  I have like five dates that I need to have off; I hope they can let me have them.  I hope I get the job. 

I hope summer doesn't blow up in my face.

But let's think about happy things.  There's no snow on the ground, the sun is shining, and I'm wearing green.  It's going to be a good rest of the day. =)

Enjoy your Thursday, my dear readers.

May the 4th Be With You.

Happy Star Wars day, my fellow nerdy readers!

It's a beautiful day here.  The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and my homework is nearly done for the entire semester.  Then the fun of summer can begin.

I finally have a job interview.  It's over at Macy's.  I'm pretty excited.  Provided they don't work me to death, I think it can be a fun job.  Plus, they have the cutest clothes and I might be able to get a discount, which is nice.  We'll see how it goes; I'll keep everyone posted.

Tomorrow is my last day of school for the semester.  Provided I don't screw up between now and then, I'm going to have my 4.0 again.  This makes me immensely happy.

And now I get to go finish up what I have left.  Afterwards, I plan on knitting until my fingers fall off and reading until my eyes blur.  Because that sounds like a plan to me.

Welcome, summer.  Welcome. =D

One Day.

One day left of school.  One day left of school.  One day left of school.

Sleep now.

Challenge Time

Today, I'm challenging mother nature. 

Oh yeah.  It's May 2nd, it's Colorado, and while there's talk of snow on the horizon, I'm doing the unthinkable.  I'm wearing my flip flops.

I don't know what it is about flip flops that I love so much.  Part of it is the ease of access with them - slip them on, slip them off; no hassle.  If I want to feel the grass between my toes, I just have to kick them off.  No socks required.  And I can show off my blue nail polish, too.

I think the other part, though, is what they represent.  Summer, warm weather, time with friends.  Relaxing and doing nothing.  Being mellow.  Anyone else get that vibe from flip flops?  Or sandals in general?  They are the ultimate relax shoe.

This is my last week of school.  I'm pretty happy about it for the most part.  I think the only thing I'm not excited about is not getting to see my friends on a regular basis.  But that's where summer and mutal effort come in, I suppose.

And then in the fall we get to start all over again.

On that note, enjoy your Monday, dear readers.

May 1st

It's the first day of May.  I'm having trouble believing it.  The weather outside does not feel like May weather - it's overcast and cold, with the promise of not getting out of the 40's.  There was snow on the ground yesterday morning.

I don't know where my year went.  So much of it has passed in a blur.  This semester has flown.  It's had it's ups and downs, but I can assure you that it is finishing on an upswing.  I am so happy with where I am right now; it's a feeling I'm not used to, but one that I can definitely get used to.

It looks like I might even finish the semester with a 4.0 again.  I wasn't expecting that at all; in fact, I've been trying to not obsessively monitor my grades because it nearly drove me mad last semester.  It seems that relaxing has paid off. 

This month is going to hold so much.  My sister gets her blackbelt, turns 18, and graduates high school.  I am so happy for her!  My semester finishes up this week; then I either get a job (if anyone calls me for an interview) or try to figure out what I'm going to do with myself.  I'm going to see a movie, get burgers, see Rocky Horror again. 

And maybe the weather will warm up.  With warmer weather and plans with friends, I feel like this is going to be such a great break.

My face hurts from smiling.

I'm tired because I've been up later than normal texting.

I'm losing weight, I'm writing more, I'm focusing better.

Things are finally on track again.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my dear readers.  And happy May first. :)
