Where I Stood

Ah! I apologize for the lack of writing! The second I think I should write, I get this guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach because I know that I should be doing homework or something that is just as productive. But then I get sad because there are so many things to say, and so many things to comment on in life, and I don't get to say any of them! so I have the next ten minutes to do as I wish!! I'll make it short and sweet.

I've lived with Jen for over a month and we are still friends! YAY! Our goal is to prove everyone wrong when they said it's the worst idea ever to live with a friend. So take that America!! Also, we are looking more and more lived in by the week. We finally have bookshelves! Big bookshelves that took forever to put together, but we have them! AND we have cable....ooooo......ahhh.. Ya, we're fancy. We're still stealing internet though. I can't help that people don't put passwords on their accounts. I'm a poor college saving money. I win!

It's been crazy busy because I had Holly's Wedding, school, Kelly and Tim's wedding, lots of work, and fun adventures. Holly's Wedding was absolutely amazing, and my speech went really well!! Which is always good. I was nervous about it because I didn't know if I put enough time into it, or if my family would feel weird since I mentioned God alot. not that I would have taken it out, but yah know, it just makes things weird. And let's see, there were small issues, but nothing we couldn't handle. Holly forgot her shoes but Jen L. saved the day on that one! And there was no plug for the computer, but Andrew Beckman saved the day on that! What lifesavers! I adore BOTH of them!!! And pictures were really really fun, and again, Holly looked amazing... and ya!

Kelly and Tim's wedding was unique, to put it in the best words.... When Tim put on kelly's ring he said "One ring..." and when she put on his she said "to rule them all" (Lord of the Rings reference in case you didn't know) It was hysterical and just totally them. So go them! And then they walked back down the aisle to "Tim's favorite song" which happened to be the Star Wars theme! Hahaha. And then Zach and Julie Johnson pulled out light sabers and battled each other all the way down. Oh man. And to top things off, their first dance was to DDR. (Dance Dance Revolution) whatever makes them happy!!!

School has been busy, and I finally dropped a class so I wouldn't be so stressed out. It was getting bad. I cried a lot and it just really wasn't worth it. I talked to my advisor and she agreed with me. I was doing too much. My eyes were bigger than my appetite, and so forth. Although I now have another "W" on my transcript, I don't care. It's the difference between a stupid letter or my sanity. Sanity wins.... everytime.

Work is fun! I really enjoy Buffalo Wild Wings, even though it gets pretty crazy and busy. I like the people and I looooove that I don't have to do sales. I hate sales. Sales and I are enemies. BOOO. god bless those who can sell a checkcard to a deaf/blind person, but me.... i'll stick to cooing with the little kids and calling it a day. Haha

Shoot, I have 1 minute. Let's see, I get to go to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater for my birthday and I'm super pumped about it! I get to see the Producers, which should be really good. Then this weekend I have a Phil Wickham and Shawn McDonald concert!! And then I think I'm going up to St John's to visit wonderful Mr. Barnes! I just figured I haven't been up there in a while. AND THEN IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! AHHHHHH!!!! I love it. I don't know what I should do yet. I'll think about it... heck I have three weeks!

Ok, i'm out! I'll be late to class otherwise! I'll write more this month I promise! And it'll be more than just giving the agenda of my life. Lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!

<3>

The Story

i'm tired

I'm already overworked

I'm already behind in my homework

I'm already done. ::sigh::


Don't get me wrong, i'm really happy right now. I've gotten to start school up yet again which is ALWAYS a good thing, even if I am taking 18 credits! There are so many people I get to see once school is in session, so I'm quite happy! And unfortunately all my classes are super wonderful so I couldn't possibly think of dropping one to make my semester easier. Oh well, it's only three months right??

I'm also happy because I love my apartment and my roomie. Things are going so well right now it's unbelievable! Not that I thought things would go wrong, but it's sooo perfect! It's weird. I love her and I think we can handle each other pretty well. Of course it's only been two weeks, so who knows what could happen! Especially if I don't let her have a puppy. (Happy birthday?) We also had a moving in party and it was good! Anna and John Patnode even showed up!! That was like the highlight for sure. But we had about 20 people so it was a really big success! And also, everyone loves the apartment! Even John was like, dude, i'd just live in the kitchen. It made me laugh! People bought us so many things (margarita glasses, a book to make smoothies, a french press, home-grown pickles, melons, etc.) So I wanna thank everyone for that! you really made us feel happy in our little home! Lol.

I also think Hawaii is a for sure thing. I keep swinging back and forth because it's like the money's there, then it's not; then it's there again, but wait, then it's not! It's crazy! You'd think that because I'm working two jobs that I'd have enough money. Oh man, it's never the case! lol. I just have to know for sure by October first cuz that's the deadline. Cross your fingers guys!!

So yes... working two jobs. I think that's the cause of most of my stress. Wells Fargo is Th/Sat. and Buffalo Wild Wings (which I just started) is whenever they want me. I should be working about 30+ hrs a week. YIKES! Tonight is a prime example. It was $0.40 wing night and although I was second cut, I didn't get out until 11:30!! And I have soooo much homework. But what is one to do? Nothing. Deal with it because I need the money. Oh the life of a college student.

And of course, the BIGGEST news of the week.... HOLLY GETS MARRIED IN FIVE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHH! I just don't even know what to do with myself! i'm so excited for her and she must be excited too. I'm happy because I finally finished my speech for her wedding. It's intense to put together cuz you want it perfect, but I got some good feedback, so I'm pretty happy. And Justin's coming with me!! Bad idea to bring an ex-boyfriend to a wedding? Probably. But the thing is he is one of my closest friends AND he knows the family anyway. He was the only sensible option. Of course a boyfriend would have been nice, but God hasn't decided to give me another one quite yet. We'll see what he has in store for me!!

Ok, I'm slacking off and so I better go do my homework so I can go to bed somewhat soon. I'll try to write more, maybe after Holly's wedding. Everyone pray that it goes well!!

P.S.- I love Ali (there's no meaning behind that, I was just thinking about her.)
