i'm home!

So I've actually been home for a few days now, but this is the first time that I've really had to sit down and type things up.

I've spent the past two days dancing my ass off all day long. The new dance instructor for the university taught an intensive and I am SO GLAD that we'll finally have some decent dance in the area. I only get to take jazz with her, but I am planning on taking ballet as soon as I possibly can.

I also went to Quixote's for the first time on Wednesday night and that was sooooooooooooo fun! I ended up having a great time, and I kinda wanna go out again. The only problem is that during the semester I'm very focused [or at least I try to be] and so I don't really have time to go out much.

Also, speaking of school, Emily and Ben and I had lunch today between musical theatre and hip hop and they convinced me not to take two theatre histories this semester. I think that it's a really good idea too considering I have lots of core classes and stuff to work on. I feel like a slacker for only signing up for 13 hours though. I have no idea what else to do...so I guess I'll just see what this semester brings.

Here's to an awesome last few weeks of summer!

no....really.

I'm never switching shifts with Elvia again. I'm in Toontown on my last day. I really feel like crying. And when I mention it to the roomie, it doesn't faze her, but I'm supposed to jump up and down and squeal about her fucking youtube videos. No thanks. I don't care.

I'm not being a baby. I'll suck it up on my last day and do the sweaty mess of Toontown. But I just hate being told that I'm going to be CIF and in every land, and I end up being only in the worst land at work. I'm sure she was worried that I wouldn't take the shift because she knew that no one liked Toontown, but I probably still would have taken it. I just like knowing where I'm going to be so that I can prep to be sweaty and gross and red-faced all day at work.

So here's to the last day of work before I get to go home and get some rest. Let's hope that it doesn't kill me....which it might.

last day off

Hey!

So today is my last day off before I head home on Wednesday. I'm supposed to be packing and cleaning up but all I can do is sit around and watch YouTube. :)

I have to get a birthday present for my sister before I come home...any ideas? She wants something from Harry Potter world that she can use, not just display. Help!

Uh....what else to talk about? I'm running out of food here at the apartment, but I have to get to Walgreen's today anyways so maybe I'll pick up some cereal...ahhh. I literally have not enough food and people tend not to like it when I don't eat but I really don't want to buy anything more. I'll eat Snicker's ice cream, popcorn, and strawberry poptarts for the next 4 days. Sound good? Ugh, not to me. Sooo unhealthy. When I get back home I get good healthy food again.

Okay okay, I'm going. I'll stop being lazy. Geez, you guys are so demanding. Haha

so. amazing.

So....closed with this awesome girl tonight at work. We got to talking after work because she's a nutrition major and I was talking to her about being healthy. Then we got talking about AVPM. Then John Green. Then 5AG. Then wizard rock. Hoe. Lee. Crap!

Let's just say I might have added to my Disney best friends list. Elizabeth heard about all of these obsessions in one conversation and didn't run away screaming. I drove her home from work and we just shared stories and vented and listened to 'California Dorks' and....*happy sigh* Life is just good. I leave in 6 days and I hope I get to hang out with her some more because it would be awesome if she got in to all this stuff too! Yay!!!

I'm just way too happy for any more words. :)

good morning, world!

With a bruise on my butt, a mess of curly wet hair, and chocolate for breakfast, I am SO ready for today!

It's almost my Friday and then I'll have one day to pre-pack before working for another three days and then going HOME!!!!! I love organizing, packing, and getting ready for a new adventure, even if the adventure is getting home. I'm getting my playlist ready for my ipod, doing my last few loads of laundry, and getting really excited about having a real bed to sleep in! The sooner I get home, the better!

Once I get home I get to:
-see my mommy and daddy
-dance for two days straight
-see my nana and papa
-go to montgomery for shopping and family time
-get schoolbooks and supplies
-talk daddy into getting me more auburn gear
-see FRIENDS and spend time with them!
-start working and having voice lessons again

See what I have to look forward to? This fall has to be epic. I'll have the theatre, church, two jobs, it'll be football season which means tons of family time, and friends...and hopefully...if he likes me enough....i might have....wait for it.....a boyfriend. :D At least....I hope so.

Speaking of boy....after a summer of me saying how much I hate boys...I think I might have found one that could work. The real test is in two weeks when I get to see him in person again, but I'm hoping that the outcome is what I want it to be. We'll see. For now, I'm just happy to have someone to talk to.

In other news, sunburn on the face HURTS. I'm going to have fun when this starts peeling, but maybe I'll get lucky and it'll just stay red or turn to a tan. Me? Tan? Ha! I make myself laugh....

latest pet peeves

Alright, readers. I'll admit it.
I'm a bit of a green girl. I like to save energy, unplug things when I can, not use A/C when I leave my apartment for the summer, etc etc. So when I come back from a long day at work, the last thing I want to see is every single fucking light in the apartment turned on along with one of the TVs on. Really? REALLY? Why would you waste all of this energy? I already haven't been able to recycle this summer, but to always leave things on and wasting? Things that I have to pay for? I'm not okay with that.

In other news, I'm a klutz.
No...really.
I fell down twice today, have a bruise on my butt that might be a hidden mickey [which is only a little creepy], almost broke skin by scratching my arm on the corner of a door, and...let's just say I'm speeeeecial.

So....Meg Crofton was in the park today. For those of you who don't know, she is the president of Magic Kingdom. My coordinator came frantically looking for me and asked me [specifically] to greet guests outside of our location. Well, not only was I flattered, but I got to spend what could have been a lousy day at work out in the sun giving high fours [yes, fours, not fives...thank you mickey hand!] to guests of all ages and ethnicities. I got to spend as much time as I wanted talking to guests, and one of those guests even complimented me to my manager! All of those things were great, so I'll try to forget that my face is going to need aloe, my arms are quite red, and I have a sunburn triangle on my chest where my shirt didn't cover it. Yay sun!

I think that overall today was great, and I just keep reminding myself that it's one week...one week before I get to drive home and spend time making meals with my mommy and getting school stuff with daddy and going to montgomery to visit family and...well, I'm sure you all get the point.

so...

good news: i got into biology

bad news: i'm going back to back to back on TR

good news: i'm done by like 3pm everyday.

bad news: i have to learn how to nap again

so....since i'm thinking that the cons are outweighing the pros...i'm going to put up some pictures from the past few days to cheer myself up

catching up

Well hello again!

Long time no....type? Talk? Yeah, that.

It has been a crazy end of the week! Madeleine, Jennie, Caitlin, and Amy came in to town and thank god because work and life here has really been bringing me down lately. So the five of us spent a few days together and they were.....THE MOST EPIC DAYS OF MY LIFE! We spent two days in Disney...all four parks. We hit everything that they wanted to hit and it was great.

Then....here comes the best part now...

INFINITUS!!!
We only got a one day pass...mistake, of course! For those of you who don't know, Infinitus is the Harry Potter conference [which ended today] that had a ton of events including wizard rock shows, a night of frivolity ball, tons of theories and sections about Harry Potter! I could barely contain myself as i saw all of the awesome in the conference center!
I met amazing people, watched amazing HP related things, danced to amazing music, and ended off the night singing ten extra chorus' of 'Don't Stop Believin' with extremely amazing people!
I loved everything about yesterday, and I think that it gave me the 'oomph' I needed to finish out my summer of work before heading home for a couple more weeks of awesome before starting school in August.

So I guess now I'm just back at the summer apartment, getting through the last 9 days of work, packing up my stuff, and ready to head home. I have a lot to look forward to... :)

urgh.

So there's this guy at work. And he's a nice guy. But there are just some days when you can't put up with people's annoyances. Here are his:
-he is slow...so when you close a location with him, it takes forever no matter what job you ask him to do.
-he gets sidetracked easily, so whatever task you ask him to do, it usually doesn't get done.
-he sings. all. the. time. and only songs that he knows i like because....
-he likes me. that much is obvious. he's always asking when we're gonna hang out and always offers to buy something for me or call in to hang out with me etc etc.


This is probably because it's 1:42am and I'm tired and I know that I could have been out of work 20 minutes earlier than I was because of some of these annoyances. I'm a nice person. I put up with lots of things. I let a lot of things go. But tonight, I was not a happy camper. I almost lost my temper and I used tired-ness as my excuse for why I wasn't talking. Ugh! Is this too whiny? It's late and I just did not need to deal with that tonight.

so. effing. close.

Hello all!

I have no idea who 'all' is, but whoever decides to read this must love me for putting up with me. I don't mean to complain all the time so here is a positive blog post!

The girls are coming in like TWO days!!!! How is this so close?! I'm so excited to be spending time with them....I just hope that I can control my wallet. Must save money. Rent is due. Ahhh. I hope that this trip for the girls is as amazing as I hope it will be. I really need some more Auburn people here because I've been missing home terribly. There's one other person that I wish could be here....but this is a girl's only trip. :)

Work went pretty well today. I've gotta stop getting used to all these ERs they're trying to give me, so I stayed and did cleaning projects for an hour and a half. My costume must be returned tomorrow. Ewww.

I hope that everyone had as great of a day as I did, because I'm looking on the positive side!

just wanted to say...

you built all this excitement up in me for the summer and then completely ignored me. i was really happy about having a great summer, just as friends. one wrong move, and summer fun is over.

you have always been like this and i wouldn't expect you to change. you too.

i am soooo glad that i have had time with you again because you are the only person that i can see myself living with after i graduate and come down here full time!!

you were an unexpected surprise to my summer...and i'm not complaining one bit. you made auburn worth coming back to. i'm really happy now.

you completely destroyed my summer. being selfish, not being a friend back, and just making sleep nonexistent in my life. i'm not ok with that.

meevchbsdwcb


let me just say that after this whirlwind of a summer, i'm happy to know that i still have plans to finish something [college] before starting something new [full time work]. i'm happy to know that alabama is not the death bed that i once thought it was, and i'm happy to know that i'll always have paradise to come back to. i am very happy and grateful for this summer, it's just been hit by a lot of roadblocks. let's finish out these last 17 days in style, baby!!!

grrrr

when people talk to themselves when you're sitting in the same room, that doesn't mean that i have to answer. that just means that i think you're a little nuts. and annoying.

when people expect you to really care about their problems and then don't care if you have something on your mind, that doesn't mean you're a good friend. that means that i can't share anything with you.

when people disrespect your space and expect you to pick up all the slack, that doesn't mean i'm ok with it. that means that i'm sick and tired of it and want to go home.

way too many thoughts

Okay, here's to a really ADD blog post! I've got all these thoughts in my head and I really need to get them out there in some way.

First off, my girls are coming to see me in 5 days....5 DAYS!! I hope that we have tons of pictures, videos, screams, meet and greets, and wild fun! Disney with them will be fun, and then we're going to INFINITUS!!!!!!! Harry Potter conferences cannot get any better...oh wait, this is my first one. I might be a noob to being an open nerdfighter, but no one has any IDEA how excited I am to potentially see at least 2 of the 5AG, luke conard, eia, and all the other amazing wrockers!

Second off, I get to wear my amazing new hot pink cocktail-ish dress to the yule ball! I just bought this dress...didn't hate it on me, and now I have found a place to wear it! Call me a girly girl, but it's REALLY exciting to me!

Thirdly, I'm kind of giddy about this boy. He's being so much fun and it makes me really happy that I get to go home in three weeks. Not that I don't love it here in paradise, but I've actually started missing home...for the first time. Ever.

And I think lastly...this summer has been intense. I've worked harder than I've worked in a long time, I have made a ton of new friends, and I've had fun with it most times. It's been tough, and I haven't been to the parks half as much as I've wanted to, but I've been able to do some amazing things with amazing people and I'm really happy about it.

I think I'll post a few pictures. My summer isn't over yet, but these are just a few of the exciting times!

:(

so i rear-ended a guy today. totally thought he had merged when he hadn't. i feel terrible. car accidents are my worst fears and this guy made a huge deal out of it. and i already felt awful about it. it just sucks. it was a great day too, that's the worst part. bri and i got to hang out and go shopping some, which i really needed her for because she can help me look decent in auburn this semester.

god, i love me some bri. she really has made the past week here worthwhile again. i've been in a rut and now i'm socializing and enjoying work and getting to see one of my favorite people ever. i can't wait to be 21 and down here with her because i know that she and i can have fun out and also just still be the best of friends. gahhhh i'm so glad she was with me all day because i couldn't have survived the fender bender without her. she kept me sane and kept me from crying and yelling and freaking out. then we had makeovers and girly time before going to dinner. i really needed that.

so tomorrow is my friday and i can't wait to spend the real friday and saturday out or doing something productive!

again?!

i swear, if it happens one more time i'm really gonna be pissed. you just DON'T turn on the garbage disposal with a roommate sleeping on the couch right next to it. i woke up with a 'what the fuck?!' and said that i'd turn on the disposal if i saw shit in it. this is getting out of control, and i need sleep.

sorry that this is a pissy post but i just woke up and there was no reason to it.

current song: you had me at hello-a day to remember

workworkwork.

Making magic for 12+ hours today. woot.

All I want to do today is sleep. That's it. Can someone make that happen? At the same time, even if I got an ER and came home I wouldn't be able to sleep. And I like having the apartment to myself and that's not going to be the case today. I just hope that I can make a good day out of this dismal-looking one.

alright, serious question

What kind of roommate turns on the garbage disposal at 9am knowing that the other roomie went to bed really late and needs sleep before a work shift from 730p-230a?! I'm sorry....but am I the only one that sees something wrong with that picture? Even Pat called her out on it. I NEED SLEEP! COME ON!!! gahhhhh ok freakout over.

Today I get to hang out with my old Disney roomie, Brianna. I have missed her sooo much and I cannot wait to eat and then see Eclipse with her. You see, this Twilight series might not be great, but it's addicting. Taylor Lautner usually makes the movies worth watching, so I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. They changed from the books, obviously, but if there is kissing and shirts off of the boys...I think I'll survive ;)

In other news, I really miss home. As much as I'm going to miss making the big bucks, I'm tired and I want to sleep in my own bed. I want to have a bedroom. And I want to be able to relax. But this is what I signed up for and even though I don't have any close friends down here I am happy. I am making magic for little ones. And I am going to keep doing that until July 31.

Wish me luck.

blehhh

Today started out pretty terribly. When I went to open my location at work [that I hadn't opened in over a year and a half] it went really badly and I had to open double the amount of things I was supposed to. We were also really busy because people were lined up before we were ready to take orders so I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. There was no A/C for the morning so i was also sweating bullets.

Today is one of those days were I just want to sit in a ball in a corner and just wait for all the bad stuff to go away. It's also one of those that I think....and when I get my mind going it just gets worse and worse. I also just felt alone today because I didn't get a chance to work with anyone that I was close to so it was a little awkward at work. I'm overdramatizing things in my head, but today is just one of those days.

I need a hug. I need a best friend down here. I think I need a good cry. Is that ok?
