Good times for me!!

While I am sad to report that my Spring Break has dwindled down to only 3 days I do have great news! Just now, after returning from my job interview at a small mini mart for a part time job, I am psyched to say - I MAY HAVE A JOB!!!! What's REALLY great about this job though is that it pays $8 an hour!! And for someone like me who's going through the last months of high school and really needs the extra cash, I really need this! My last job only paid like $6.50 or something like that, and that store was much larger than the one I will be hopefully at! Next week, I'll be called in for an orientation of some sort with the Senior Managers - yes, I am nervous about that! - but then by that following weekend, I should be looking into training!! Following this, Mom says that my drivers license is in order and a car so I can finally be getting around on my own! Yes, I guess, as it's said, good things do come to those who wait. Believe me, I've been waiting for a LONG time for something good to come around!

Well, that's all for now. I, unfortunately, have school work to finish but with the thought of the job and finally making some well needed cash, my spirits can't be brought down!

Almost Spring Break!

This Monday (as usual) was uneventful but to know that this is the last week till Spring Break makes things better! Friday's a half day so I'll be a nice early start on my vacation. Unfortunately though, I have a big project for Western Civ. to do and my research paper for English is due so the work reminds me that I still have important things to do - not just relaxing!! That's all and I'll be going to bed soon so,

Friday at Last

I'm so glad it's Friday, this week dragging on like every other week but it means just one step closer to Spring Break! My college plans also have been looking up, which has brought my mood right up. Today, I finally got the $25 check to my guidance counselor so I'm now guaranteed to take the Brookdale Placement test, therefore with the choice of Brookdale or Chubb Institute. I'm happy about that 'cause even though I love animation and would be getting a degree in that, I wanna do writing (like stories) and Brookdale might have those creative writing classes that I wanna look at. Who knows? I still have time to make up. Oh well, I am now off to enjoy my weekend of doing nothing!

Sunday, sadly...

Ugh, again I do not look forward to going to school tomorrow, the weekend went by too fast like always!! Last night, a night I had hoped to see the spring musical "Bat Boy" (yeah, I know, odd name, huh?) at my school but that didn't happen. I ended up laying down to watch TV and fell asleep and by the time I woke up, it was around 7:30! I had a plan of getting there at 7 o'clock because as my friends told me, the musical had been really big and A LOT of tickets had been sold but if I was there early enough, I could get a seat. Nope, that didn't happen because of my stupidity - I forgot all about it until I woke up and saw what time it was and was like - and I missed out seeing something that really good.

Another thing that has been bothering me this whole weekend showcases my stupidity again. It started on Friday: It was after English IV was over during second period, a girl I know came over to me to ask me about something. She first asked me if I was planning on going to prom. I actually already had made it a thing in my mind where I wasn't going because unlike last year where I went single, I REALLY wanted to go with a date. I mean, it's my last year of HS and I wanted to make Prom a night to remember with a picture of me and my date and know that at least I wasn't one of those single people, sitting off to the side, sad while all the other couples dance to the prom song of the night - last year it was "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith. I ended up doing that last year, sitting off to the side because I had nobody to dance with and it put me in the worst mood so by the end of that night, I found myself not enjoying prom AT ALL. So, for this year, I told myself that I wasn't going to do that to myself and even if it makes Melissa (bff) upset that I'm not going, I don't care. Unless it changed with somebody asking me out, I know for a fact that I'm not going. Well anyways, I told the girl I wasn't planning on going so she went on to explain that she was trying to set up a guy friend of hers with somebody for prom because he didn't have any date. She then told me his name but I don't even know the guy so I automatically told her no. She went onto say that it was alright and to forget about it and left.
I'm kicking myself right now because so what if I didn't know the guy? I could've asked to MEET him at least and see if we had anything on common grounds that we would enjoy each other's presence istead of just going because we were set up. Also, one thing I know was that a lot of my friends are going to Wildwood and that was another memory I wanted to have - going there and enjoying it with my friends, just hanging out and so forth.
Nope, by turning down the girl's offer, I pretty much have blown away my chance of having fun and something to remember - I'll just be sitting around on Prom Night, bored to death and when all my friends come back over the weekend, I'll be upset as all the girls show off their prom pictures and going on about how much fun they had. I blew that all way. All because of my stupidity.

So bored... :::sigh:::

The weekend ended too fast for me and I had to drag myself to school this morning. Mondays are the worst, going in half asleep and listening to boring as hell lectures and lessons from the teachers - ugh! I really need my spring break to get here but that isn't until the 12th or so of April! HORRIBLE! Other than that... At long last, I'm going in for a job application - working cash register at the $ Store!! I can't say how long it has been since I last had a job but I need one. If I do get the job (hopefully I will) the place is right around the corner from me which is not bad at all and I really want the !! Over the weekend when I saw my sister I finally got the college packet to Chubb Institute. I'm so excited about that and it makes me feel better to know that I actually have that as a choice, not just Brookdale but I also want to take the Brookdale Placement Test, and I have two options. From what Kris told me, if I was to do Chubb Institute, it is an intense course - 5 days a week along with a certain number of hours - but I could be getting my degree in Graphic Animation (what I plan to do) faster than any of my other friends in regular college. What's even better is that when I take those course for Graphic Animtation, that's all I'll do. No Math or English! Just what I plan to graduate in! How good is that?! Even though I do (and most likely will) do the Chubb institute, I still wanna do Brookdale and expand my studies to what I want to do, not just Graphic Animation. Who knows?

Well, that's all right now

Almost There...

This week has been dragging on so slowly, school has been an absolute drag. I'm so happy that it's Friday tomorrow, at last!! Nothing that I would call "interesting" has happened except yesterday, I looked in the mirror to see that my right eye was unusually red - pink eye, AGAIN!!!! But like last time, it wasn't like I woke up with my eye sealed shut so I had to drag myself to school.

But I can say that one REALLY interesting thing did happen today. After leaving Western Civ. with my bff Melissa , we were walking along when she asked me if Jill had been talking to me. Jill was a girl I knew from last year who moved away over the summer to Delaware to live with her grandmother. Now, I normally get along with a lot of people in school, mostly people I've known from middle school and we all are really cool with each other. But Jill was one of those few people I COULDN'T stand. To give you an idea what kind of person she was, she was an anorexic for a short period, was (and most likely still is) a nymphomaniac, AND a compulsive liar. She started so much sh*t with me, telling bs stories about me to my friends and bs stories of my friends to me, trying to split us apart. Almost everybody I knew couldn't stand her but Melissa who didn't believe she was any of the above. I avoided her at all costs because I had told a lot of my friends that if she even thought about starting stuff with me, I would FREAK OUT on her. Luckily it didn't come to that and she went off - this was 11th grade.

So anyway, when Melissa brought her name up to me this afternoon, I just shrugged it off. But just as she went to leave, she went "Oh, and she's engaged". I was sucking on a lollipop at the time and it nearly fell out of my open mouth. I pulled Melissa back and was like, "Would you repeat that? I must've heard wrong." Oh I didn't. THE GIRL IS ENGAGED! As Melissa explained to me and get this: the guy is 21 (Jill's 19 - yes, 19 and engaged!!) and from the way Melissa said it, the guy hadn't exactly popped the question but will get her a ring some time soon. Oh, even better, this guy she's only known for 4 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is she pulling a Renee Zellweger/Kenny Chasney?!?!?!?! Melissa is pretty pissed about the entire thing and told me right out that when she'd see her this upcoming June for graduation (Jill's coming down with the guy) she (Melissa) and her other friend (Robin) would have a few choice words for her.

Of all the things in the world that the dummy would do, getting married at 19-20 isn't one of the brightest and thanks to sister Kris, a reason she might be doing this is - GASP - PREGNANCY!!!!!!!
Oh my God, I could just see that - Jill comes over, looking all skanky like she did 10th and 11th grade - with boyfriend in arm and going to Melissa, "Oh Melissa, you won't believe it! I'm pregnant!!"
I know right out that if she said this to Melissa, Melissa would slap her.

Frankly, I don't care what that girl Jill does - it is her life and it's not like she's a friend where I would feel the need to intervene. But seriously, of the stupid things you could do, getting married at 19 to a guy you've only know for 4 months doesn't exactly make you the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Ok, that's all for now. PLEASE COME FRIDAY!!!!!

Back to the Real World >.<

After a wonderful five days off, it sucks for me to say that I have to go back to the real world tomorrow - school. BLECH!! But knowing that I'm done with HSPAs, SRAs takes off a lot of the stress and I can relax, take it easy. I'm starting to look into colleges and I'm happy to say, maybe I won't just automatically go to Brookdale! At the suggestion of my sister after being told by my brother-in-law, I'm going to be looking into Chubb Institute!
Hopefully, it will all work out in the end and who knows!
That's all for now as I have to get ready for the real world again. BLECH!
