Confessions of A Working Girl

So, obviously, I'm really bad at remembering to update this journal. I remember to pray every night, but I can't remember to update with even at least a photo? But I'm going to start. That's my early new year's resolution. Starting Samhain (Oct 31, the wiccan new year) I will post at least a photo every day.

Anyway, updating for now. Well, I'm "graduating" in December. That is, I'll be done with classes in December, but I won't get the piece of paper saying that I have a Bachelor's in ...

This is today's picture of the day. ^_^

Oh, and the play ended up working out fine. I just panic and get annoyed too easily. They did apologixe for being late, after all. The other kids arrived, and the play was cute. Which is good...cast party for the kids next week. I saw their mom filming it, but will give them each a copy from what my brother filmed as well.

We went to visit...

My grandfather’s back at his house now. From what I heard, he’s much better. I even talked to him on the phone today, and he sounded fine. 

The busy part I mentioned is my schedule. It’s a lot busier than any other semester so far. I know it doesn’t look terribly busy, but try doing it! And I still need to fill out the study abroad forms and find a program for Japan…the teacher said she’d help me with that on Thursday. I have an idea of what...

According to my aunt, dad, and grandma, my grandfather’s better. The test was postponed until tomorrow though.

Yesterday there was a girlscout meeting. Most of the girls didn’t say much about me coming back after break, but one of them was like “You’re back!”

Also, I found out that cookie orders weren’t neccessarily due yet, since we’re getting the cookies from a cookie cupboard–something new, I guess.

One more day and then the first week of classes will be over. Which is good, since I’m exhausted! It doesn’t help that, since coming back to school, I haven’t had a whole night’s sleep. For some reason, I’ve been waking up one or more times in the middle of the night. It’s really annoying, and I can’t figure out why!

Just from the first meeting with all the classes, I have the feeling that I will work harder this semester than any semester so ...

Well, actually, at the moment, all I’m thinking of are textbooks, but in general, prices are going higher and it seems ridiculous. For example, now, regular fiction books are generally 7 or 8 dollars if you buy them new!

But at the moment my main complaint is about textbooks. Today I spent $154.23 on textbooks. It took over an hour of searching online and comparison shopping to get the prices that low. Total, I needed six textbooks. Two of them I managed to find on the paperback...

Tonight, after dinner and presents, my dad and I brought my nana back to the nursing home type place where she now lives. It’s kind of sad to think that she’s getting old…but I’m afraid that it’s pretty obvious. My other set of grandparents, while older than my nana, are a lot more active, and don’t seem quite as old…even though, at this point, I think my grandfather is 86!

On the drive back, my dad and I were talking about it, and I remembere...

First, let me say that this is not (entirely) about the people who run the country. It is more about the first people in the title, the people that are in charge of the visitor’s center.

My dad has worked at the Route 25 visitor’s center in Massachusetts for over ten years. Today, today! They told him that the visitor’s center will be closed as of Saturday night, October 31st. They gave him two days notice. Two! Isn’t the law two weeks or something like that? I...

Sorry for the odd title, but I’m still jumpy and nervous. See, about an hour ago at 10:30, all of a sudden the fire alarm went off! It always makes me jump (well, perhaps I shouldn’t say ‘always’ since this is only the second time that I’ve heard it). Anyway, the fire drill only lasted a few minutes. What was weird was when I opened the room door, there was someone from Public Safety standing in our suite. That seemed odd, since we’re on the fourth floor....

To get to my grandmother’s house from where I live, it should be about an hour drive. It took me three. I couldn’t believe it! I got lost, found the right highway again, got lost, figured out where I was, then got lost and stayed lost until I called my dad.

Anyway, once I was finally at my grandparent’s we had a lovely weekend.

I got back from my grandparents’ on Tuesday afternoon…Tuesday night I went to Ki’s house. We wanted to watch Pirates ...
