the simple pleasures.

So much good and bad to say... Lets start with the bad and end with the good. . .

Bad

My computer is ...broke... for lack of a better word. I can't connect to the internet, no matter how hard I try. Tech services was no help. Britany Miller might have been. She told me to take it somewhere other than SAU and have them check for Malware. Thank you B Miller.

Second. I work Monday and Friday as normal. But Saturday and Sunday as well. No life this weekend. I miss JJ Heller, and I don't get to run home to get boxes for packing. I hate working a whole weekend. Its so tiring. But at least I make some moolah...

Good

I got to go see my sister for prom this weekend. She looked gorgeous =]

I went home with Kelsey this weekend (to my house) and had a wonderful time. I got to see the people I loved and remembered how much I love and miss my family, especially my sister. And happy news...SHE'S COMING TO SPRING ARBOR FOR COLLEGE!!!!

I have wonderful roommates...and future roommates...and friends in general.
- Kels and I went to Goodwill this weekend. We bought Cougar golf clubs. Campus golf, here we come!
- We also bought Angie a game at Goodwill...Arthur goes to the Library! She loves the (children's) show Arthur (you know, the aardvark...)and she looked like a little kid at Christmas when we gave it to her. Kelsey found the game and was a genius. We played it and had a lot of fun. It produced plenty of giggles.
- We went to get coffee at 10p and ran into Emily and Britany =] Always fun times!

I also found out who the majority of my floor for next year is WAHOO!!! I'm getting super excited about it too!

That's all I have to say for now. It isn't likely that I will post any time this week...no computer, work-a-holic, and tons of photo projects...

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst), my day has been a 4. I'm tired. There were TOO many people in the darkroom. My proof sheet came out foggy. I wanted to cry. I have to work. I still have MORE pictures due this week (which means that if all my previous pictures came out foggy, I have to quickly go take MORE.). I just want to relax.

The only good thing about today...I have great friends. Great roommates. and my first RA meeting tonight.

mysterious as the dark side of the moon

So today has been one of those days. You know the kind, you begin the day completely positive that nothing good could come out of it, but then when looking back on the day, it has been one of the best in a while. I think that everything that I expected to be one thing was the complete opposite. I expected to go to photography class today (its one of my favorites), that didn't happen. The first class of the semester that I skip is not because I want to skip, but because I needed to get a few things straightened out with my best friend. I expected to go to one of my classes and having to sit through a completely irrelevant lecture, but I was surprisingly interested. I expected to go to work and be bored out of my mind, but I was quite busy and had some fun, even connected with some of my new co-workers a little more. I expected to go to intramural volleyball and do a little better than I did (actually I was hoping our team would win), that was not the case. I expected to go to Bible study, but forgot and instead had dinner (at 11pm) and talked about my relationship with God with one of my friends. All in all, it was a good night, turning out completely opposite of what I expected =)


My favorite things about today:

"No probs, no probs!" Paul Patton

"We're TWINKLES!" Britney Miller

Birthday Happiness =)

I forgot to tell everyone in my last post about my amazing birthday...Mom, Ali, & Joe came up to visit on Saturday and they took me out to eat--we went to bd's Mongolian grill, and man was it great! After that we went to IKEA and stopped by Target so I could get khakis for my new job! (more on that Later!). We came back and they checked out my room, and after that I grabbed Emily and we went to dinner. Emily was amazing this weekend. I wasn't particularly excited about the weekend because everyone was gone and it was my birthday, but she was a trooper, and it ended up being probably one of the best birthday weekends ever. We talked a lot, which is something we haven't got to do in a long time (she was my roommate last year). We watched 500 days of summer and got mad at the characters, and we made funny videos and took great pictures. Another great person that I got to spend alot of time with RaeLee when she got back to school too. It was great. Then monday I got to start my first day at the Spring Arbor Cafe as a waitress. I have worked two days so far and am getting into the swing of things.

Tammera came back from her weekend on Monday and brought me back some magnets with the letters of my name on them. Kelsey brought me back a hippo named Heroldine, and the promise of getting a betta fish =) If its a girl its name will be Caliopy and if its a boy- Theophilus (though I am open to suggestions on this one). Also Madee and Angie made me cupcakes...well, once they are gone I will go back to my no-sweets-except-Friday rule!
