Change is good

So I haven’t written in here in forever, and all in good reason. With finals coming up this week, things have been really hectic. I had to go and read my last entry before I even realized that it had been a whole month since I last wrote in here. It’s sad I know, but I’ve been busy.

So my whole situation at work has taken a 180 degree turn. This new girl named Lauren came to work about 3 weeks ago, and we’ve been best friends ever since. Here mom and aunt have practically adopted me and we have great fun together. Next Tuesday we’re going out for “White Trash Family Fun Day”-where we all dress up in our trailer park best and hit the town for a day full of fun. And for other great news at work, I got a $1.00 an hour raise yesterday! I’m also going in with Cameron to help plan Elizabeth’s wedding-a great scheme that we came up with today. We have like 3 weeks, and we can make it work.  

Anyways, like I said finals were/are this week. I took two yesterday and now I only have one more left on Thursday morning. I have to write a paper for a “take home” test and then I have to go in at 8:00 a.m. and write my ass off about “A Doll’s House,” “Oedipus Rex” and “Death Knocks”. *sighs* oh yes, great fun. At this point I’m REALLY glad that I didn’t sign up for summer classes, I mean sure it would have been nice to be 9 more hours ahead, but right now I’m really stressed out and looking forward to spending a few weeks/months off.

I went to Nathaniel’s prom this weekend and it was good. Everyone absolutely LOVED my dress and it made me feel really good. Of course the fact that I’ve lost like 15 pounds since my own prom made it that much better since most of them haven’t seen me in a while. Anyways, this being our THIRD prom together, there really weren’t any surprises. This one was the best by far, I think because we were both in such a great mood. We just went and had a good time and didn’t care what happened.

OH! And I just HAVE to share this with somebody: I ran 3.1 miles today non-stop! This has been my goal ever since I started running about a month ago. I know it’s taken me a long time to work up to it, but I only go twice a week and I really haven’t ran in like 2 weeks. So, needless to say, I was EXTREMELY proud of myself today when I stepped off of that treadmill and saw that my total distance was 3.4 miles. So now I know that I can run a 5K if I really wanted to, and without much effort. I mean, yeah I was tired afterwards, but I kept wondering how much further I could have gone. Maybe next week we’ll have to find out what I can max out on…

So that’s about it. I’m procrastinating because I don’t want to write my paper for this literature class. I even did that stupid ad thing that OD has going on and went to Cheaptickets.com to randomly select destinations and see how much it would cost me to fly there. I could fly to Las Vegas tomorrow and come home on Thursday for $343. That’s really not that great of a deal if you ask me, but of course I’m not exactly an expert on buying plane tickets. I’ve only done it once before in my life and they were really part of a package so I wasn’t exactly getting to choose my flight. Anyways, see what I’m doing? I’m rambling because I know that I’m out of things to do and when I log off of here, I have to go write that paper. *sighs* I really don’t want to to do this, but if I get it done now, then I won’t have to worry about it later, right? It’s for the best…
