Making a Change:

For the past couple weeks I've been living at my parents' house. It has been weird because it doesn't feel like home to me because what was my room has turned into mine and my dad's room (my dad snores so loud that he can't sleep with my mom...). It's been kinda hectic going from babysitting to working at Pier One back to Aurora just to do it again the next day.

Pier One has been giving me a lot of hours. This is both good and bad... Lots of people have left: Kim, Sherri, Bessie, and now Holly. Farah is going to India to visit her family there for a few months. No one knows if Jessica is going to come back. She got injured in February and still hasn't been back to work. Brittany is going to school at CSU in the fall, so she'll be gone as soon as summer is over. Needless to say, we need people. I've offered to work more hours until the end of summer so that Bonnie has time to find more people. There is a Racheal that starts work today. Hopefully she'll stay a while.

Tonight I'm going back to Golden, finally. Though, I came back on Friday and spent the night. It was weird because since Michelle and Jason have been living there by themselves, they've kind of made it just their place. The kitchen has been taken over by recycling and Jason's kitchen things. I made a little room in the fridge for my things, and I put bread on the shelf which I think I've unofficially had for my stuff the entire year.
Went to the Parade and Celebration for Golden's 150th birthday. It was pretty awesome! Good cake too... Lots of free stuff.

Later, we re-arranged the stuff in the house because I thought it was about time for a change. My television is now in the kitchen area where the table used to be. After arranging Cindy, Kirk, Blair, Sean, and I watched Taken. I've seen that movie so many times, but it is always just as good. Michelle and Jason were out...I think bowling? Until about eleven, maybe ten. Didn't really talk to them much. The way it goes I guess.

Found out the internet wasn't working. That was kind of... upsetting. Especially because I start summer school next week and one of my books is online... Really need that fixed.

Packed up lots of my kitchen stuff. I think glassware will be next. Leave plates til near the end of my stay there.

Parents want me to move out of that house and into the sorority house that first week in July. Dad's taking off that week and says he wants to take my larger things (desk and such) out of there. May or may not be a good idea. They say they'll pay for those extra few weeks, but they don't have money and I know it so... I don't know. We'll see.

Looking into buying Kirk's Xbox 360 off of him. Get Xbox live to play with Kacie (<3!) which would be AWESOMELY FUN but horridly time-consuming. We'll see how well-off I am by the time Fall Semester comes around. Working so many shifts at Pier One will really be a great help though. No joke.

Went to Riley's Birthday yesterday. It was fun, and I saw a ton of people I haven't seen in forever. I love the Cuevas Family. They kind of rock.

Well, taking advantage of internet while I still have it so I better get to my pre-class reading.

Cheers!

This one is really close to campus- I like it.

This one has been for rent for a while; they probably want someone to rent now. We could take a look?

This is a house, but rent is pretty cheap (even when you add in utilities).

They have three bedroom places available here.

 

And then cindy found a place that rents monthly?

I don't know for sure, but we probably should try and find a place since by summer most places will already be gone.

I'm pretty sure all of these (unless otherwise noted) start rent in July.

Can we PLEASE take a look at this place?

We'll need a fourth person, but the rent would be 350 a month per person (assuming we get the fourth).

It's soooo nice and not that far from campus. PLEASE?

While I am finally done with whatever illness I just had, I now have major cramps and a cold sore.

Last night was a horrible night to try and sleep. I just couldn't, it was odd. As I lie awake, I thought of many different things. I wanted to write letters to everyone, which would take time but would be nice for everyone in the long run.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes, I'm quite excited. Learning things really makes me happy. This semester I have harder classes, but I think that having harder classes might make me more motivated to stay on top of things.

Yesterday (or maybe it was the day before?) Ben kept texting me, resulting in a text that said "I would really like to see you this weekend if I can".
He's very nice.

Yesterday we went on a staples adventure that is documented in an album on Facebook, and I got my book. I'm still kind of wanting to get the Physics book since I have to take physics two, but I don't know. It's priced actually lower than anything I've found online, so it might be a good idea.

Everyone is back, and it's kind of loud. I am not exactly a fan right now of it but it's okay. Almost everyone on the floor has gym with me, which is exciting. However, none of them want to play games with me so I might still be pretty alone on that one. But it was canceled this week because the guy's wife has cancer so I have until next week for that. First thing tomorrow is Chemistry at eight, then it's Physics at ten, Calculus at noon, and finally Earth at one.

Thursday is the canceled gym class at eight, physics at ten, then calc at noon, and finally canceled chem lab at two.

I was somewhat sad to leave my family this time, but as soon as I got here I was glad I left. I'm feeling better now. I have a feeling that staying around my house all day was making me sick.

I saw Matt when we went to lunch, purely by chance. Said hello and chatted about his drive down from Dove Creek. He said he left yesterday, and as soon as he got to the Eisenhower Tunnel things changed. He went in, then on the other side it was blizzard-ing. He didn't think he was going to make it.

Tomorrow I get my first chance to test out my new glasses in class. Chris put them on and said "there is no difference" but there is. It's small, and only in the left lens, but I think it might help with my reading in class. My eyes have a hard time adjusting looking back and forth from notes and the board up front.

House has one episode on Jan. 29, then is on break until March-ish. I'm...not happy about this. I miss House.

Sooner or later, I'm going to get a job. A second one. I am in need of money.

Is in my house.

Right this second.

Words cannot describe how excited I am.


Yet again, only a few things could make this day better. :DDD


edit:
and I slapped together an icon just for this moment (made in GIMP on fedora so...heh, it's not quality...at all)

Today is the last day that our basement will be unoccupied.
Tomorrow grandparents move in.

Dad is taking off today and tomorrow because he needs to help them move in. They are pretty old to be doing this.

So I am at work alone. Well, without my father. I kind of like it better when he is here because then I have someone to talk to. I feel really awkward around everyone else. Especially people my own age- which is odd.

There is this boy here working for office services. Yeah. He goes (is going?) to Texas A&M. There is this girl here who is a senior at CSM. Haven't met her yet. I've been told to, but I really just want to stick to my computers. My computers don't make me feel inferior.

Don't get me wrong! They aren't actually DOING anything to make me feel that way. They just know so much more and it makes me feel small in comparison.

But they all have been alive longer than me so I suppose I shouldn't really feel like that.

oh well!

Yesterday was odd. I was supposed to hang out with Chris. But I didn't.
And so...probably going to go over and offer up some soda because I feel bad for ditching them...and I should. I do this all the time to people.



I bought seasons one and two of House! I'm excited. It should be in the mail today, at my house by friday. Saturday at latest.

Annnd Maranda called the day before yesterday. My Aunt and Janie (sp?!) Stiasny are going to be here for a Tresurer confrence or sommat and so Maranda, my other cousin Felicity, my second cousin Ryder (Maranda's boy), Matt, and Eric are all going to be here. Soooo we're going to Elitches on Friday (not this one, the next friday) and stuff like that. yay?

Mom bought my ticket for coming back from Dove Creek...so I can stay another day there. This is exciting.

:D

There are probably only a few things that could make this day any better- now that I look at it.

Today was rather boring. Didn't do much.

Ladies in the back office were giving me crap for having completed hours for Honors Diploma with a teacher
"these were done outside of class hours?"
yes ma'am. During the school day sure, but I didn't have to be at school, so it WAS on my own time.

grr.

Had to pick up amy from school today. On the way home saw Eric drive by- to either pick up Nick or go see Steven I suppose. About flipped him off, but Amy was in the car and that is not a good thing to be teaching a nine-year-old.

I was angry for about...two minutes. Then I just smiled and laughed at how stupid I was being. "There is always another girl"

Got home and started falling asleep on the couch. Then Amy shoves the phone in my face and I toss it back to her. She wanted me to go drop her off at her friend's house. I declined. Hell no, I was in the middle of a GOOD NAP and she thinks that I HAVE to take her. Gawd. Why didn't I teach her better?

I should have. She learns mostly from my brother and I.
Maybe that is the problem. Lack of parental control in her life.

For this reason I am glad I lead a sheltered life until middle school. Actually learning the difference between right and wrong is a good thing. And I could actually do things on my own. Hell, I was starting my own laundry at her age. She doesn't even know how to load the dishwasher properly. Hopefully, if I ever have kids, they will turn out better.


Then again, I don't want kids :D

House is on tonight. Soooooo excited.
I was giggling horridly on my way home from picking up my brother from my aunt's house. "House is on today!" /squeel

Hmmmm.

Just so everyone knows, email changed:

veggie.runt[AT]gmail[dot!]com





NU! House isn't on on friday anymore!

Iswearitwasontomorrow. Lame. I was excited.

Guess my brother is taping it for me, neh?
Unless they get the same channel in New Mexico in the desert. I'll ask Chris.





LAME

Finally got my fsking computer working.

I am very happy.

I also got a new bookshelf today. It's wayyyyy taller than me. Got my room MOSTLY clean. Key being mostly.


Nothing else really going on.
Babysat...got 30 bucks. wooo
but :DDDD
computer.
yay!
