Goodnight!

12/27/14

Work today was okay. It was incredibly slow during the last three hours. Only ten people came into the store over that period of time. It got to the point where my manager let me take a nap in the back room! It was kinda boring, but I at least got extra hours to make up for the time I lost when I was sick. I don't work at all next week, and I'm cool with that! Now, I'm just kinda tired.

Work Yesterday

Okay, so yesterday was pretty eventful! First, I had to take our new LTE on a field trip to the food court at the mall because he had no idea that there was one! Secondly, an Evangelical Christian lady gave me a pamphlet on "How to Know You're Going to Heaven" since I helped her find shoes for her grandmother. She wanted to make sure I would be able to join her there, since she knew she would be going to heaven. She also gave one to my friend Courtney, who was ringing her up! Then, an old white lady told the new LTE, Brad, that he looked like Tiger Woods. He doesn't. Not even remotely! After he was done talking to her, he went on the radio and said "The only thing Tiger Woods and I have in common is that we're both lightskinned black guys!" and then every few minutes our manager would come over the radio and chant "Tiger Woods y'all Tiger Tiger Woods y'all" and everyone would just start randomly laughing! Then, I dropped part of a desk on my foot which was ehhhhh.

I love the people I work with, but right now I don't wanna go to work today...

Boxing Day 2014

It was a looooong day at work today and I'm beat. I have some solid stories, but I'm too tired to type anything! I'll update on that tomorrow, Goodnight!

I done goofed...

So I accidentally put on my housing profile for DePaul that I'm a smoker, so it turns out that about half the girls who got in touch with me are smokers... I don't know how to break it to them that I don't want to room with someone that smokes... My best option right now is to say that somebody requested me back as a roommate and I'm going to room with said person. I would include something about how I can't wait to meet them in person, though! I just feel bad doing that to anybody. But I don't see any other option that would spare their feelings...

Goodnight!

I have to work tomorrow, and I can already imagine the slew of people coming in to return things they got for Christmas and didn't want at all. Malls are typically super busy the day after Christmas because of returns, but also because there are typically a ton of sales with stores trying to clear out the stuff they didn't sell during Christmas. People are pretty much ALWAYS grumpy, so I'm not particularly looking forward to dealing with customers. I'm just kinda thankful that I survived Christmas Eve! There was a surprising number of people out shopping, even when the mall was closing at 6:00. I understand that not everybody has the ability to spend time with their families on Christmas Eve, but why on earth would anybody want to spend the holidays at an outlet mall?! It beats me. Nonetheless, they still came in droves. On the bright side, I'll get to meet our new Limited Term Employee (like myself) Brad. My friend Hunter quit a few weeks ago because he couldn't balance work with his basketball schedule. He had a great sense of humor, so I'll miss him. On the bright side, I get a few more hours, which makes my paychecks somewhat fatter. 

I just ate half my weight in leftovers, and I'm not even mad!

MERRY CHRISTMAHANNAKWANZA!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAHANNAKWANZA EVERYBODY!!!!!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that all your wishes came true! I had a pretty solid holiday, I got a lot of necklaces and sweaters and pajamas and stuff! We also had all of our family over at our house for Christmas. Today was also exciting because I got messages from not one, but TWO potential roommates at DePaul!

I just watched all of Childrens Hospital and I'm not even mad!

Oh dear god I caved and wrote a really stupid-sounding post on DePaul's official Class of 2019 Facebook page... I feel really really stupid because there's been absolutely no reaction to it yet, whereas the majority of these posts has a bazillion likes and comments. WHAT DID I DO WRONG TELL ME LORDS OF FACEBOOK GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

12/23/14

Today was pretty uneventful. i just did chores and then went to Target to pick up some stuff for my sister's stocking. My mom is mad at me because I spent $22 instead of $15... oops.... Sorry I love my sister, I guess! Later, I'm going to FaceTime one of my roommates from the Envision Program, Meagan. She lives in Connecticut and AHHHH I miss her!!!!!! 

I also got accepted to Cleveland State University, which is funny because I never actually applied there...

Yesterday was a lot more exciting. I went to a salon and got my hair died to match my roots. It's SO dark. I've been getting blonde highlights since I was in sixth grade, so seeing my hair nearly black was definitely a shock. After that, I went to my friend Christina's house for a Christmas party. It was a ton of fun! We had a gingerbread house-decorating competition, a solid home-cooked Italian meal, a hilarious white elephant gift exchange that included the likes of a life-sized Barbie doll, a box of condoms, a stocking that contained both boxers and a thong (both from WalMart, of course), homemade yoga pants, and adult men's diapers! After that, we all played Cards Against Humanity for about an hour and a half. The only really strange thing that happened was that my ex boyfriend- I dated this guy for about nine months during my freshman year- after me going through two more boyfriends and being consistently friendly and kind to him, asked for clarity if we "were cool." I said "Yes, of course! It's been three years after all!" and after that he was a lot friendlier to me, so in the end it was positive despite its initial awkwardness. It's kinda nice to not have a sense of dread about him, because for a pretty long time I felt like he would never want to be friends with me again since he would always kinda roll his eyes whenever I'd say something, but I'm glad that that's changing!

This morning I went into a clinic and found out that I don't have a cold, but a severe sinus infection. On the bright side, I have some antibiotics in my system now and I don't have to go into work tomorrow either! 

My dad got me some breakfast, then I went home and slept all day long. Now I'm back on the Netflix grind.

The Past Few Days

So for the first time in ages, I'm sick with something that isn't a sinus infection! I'm pretty positive that I have the common cold, but I won't find out for sure until I see a doctor tomorrow. On the bright side, I won't have to work tomorrow since I'm ill. 

I had finals for the past three days, and they went OKAY. I don't wanna jinx myself. I'm just glad that it's finally winter break and that I survived this semester with minimal trauma.Now I'm just going to veg out with some Netflix until I'm ready to fall asleep.

Finals Today

Today I felt really sick and bleh and tired and I was in no mood whatsoever to take any of my finals. On the bright side, I didn't do as bad as I expected on Stats or Lit, but religion was harder than I expected. In the end I think I'll be ok.

Goodnight

My brain hurts and I'm dead inside.

ugh

Ugggghhh I have a ridiculous headache and ugggggggggggggh I don't wanna study/do work and ugggggggggh I'm sleep deprived and uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

12/16/14

Today consisted of "reviewing" for our exams in school, which was essentially meaningless. The only class where it somewhat counted was my AP Bio class, but even then the reviewing wasn't going so hot for me. Of the exams I'm worried about, I'm most concerned with Bio since it's my worst class (yet somehow still my favorite). After that, it goes AP Stats, AP Literature, Honors Gov, Economics, then Religion. Tomorrow, I have my Stats, Lit, and Religion exams. Just thinking about all of the writing I'm going to have to do makes my hand cramp up. I've done a ridiculous amount of writing this week already with my two in-class essays in Lit and rewriting my AP Bio test essays to study from. My right arm is significantly stronger than my left just because of the writing I have to do!

Today for Lit we completed the poetry analysis portion of our exam.I felt like I had lucked out since I was familiar with one of the two poems on the prompt, as it's one of my favorite poems. Last year Andy sent it to me because he had read it in English and it made him think of me. The poems were fairly simple in and of themselves, but as soon as I tried to put my thoughts into words it came out as something along the lines of "hurr durr dur derp herp derp derp herp herp derp herp derp hurrrrrrr durrr duuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Here is that first poem, the Keats poem:

WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high pil`d books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,	5
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And feel that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,	10
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

Goodnight!!!!

Hells yeah I finished my homework before midnight can I get a whoop whoop?!

I'm back from my Gov review (which was surprisingly fun- I think the fact that it was at a Panera helped a lot), and I'm currently driving the struggle bus with my homework. Just shoot me please!!!!!!!!

12/15/14

Today was an okay day! I hardly did anything in any of my classes. My Othello exam for English wasn't too terrible, and then in all my other classes we basically putzed around and called it "review." The Newspaper Christmas party/Secret Santa gift exchange was pretty great! I got a Lena Dunham book from one of the girls on the staff. Instead of hauling ass on my homework like I should've been, I started reading it. I really like it a lot so far! Now I have ten minutes until the people O'm driving to the review session arrive... wish me luck tonight...

On the bright side, I'll at least get some Panera!

Goodnight!

I made progress on my Honors Gov homework and some progress on my outline for my Economics research/argumentative essay, but I still have a lot of work to do. I have to make a works cited page sometime tomorrow night. Basically, this outline will be the only thing I work on tomorrow night! 

Tomorrow there's a review for Gov in a Panera 20 minutes away from my house and I don't really know how long it's going to last,so I have to do as much homework as I can between school and the review! And before school, as well. Basically, I'm toast.

Apparently that last post was my 666th post! Yessssssssssssssssss
