So I think this whole college thing is just passing me by this year. Apparently Michelle had decided to take this year off.
This week has proved to be a prime example- I missed a meeting with my boss(A+), I skipped out on work for Wednesday, I waited until the night before my 10 pg paper was due-to do it, therefore putting me in the worstest moods ever on Monday. My math homework due in the morning- yeah no way. Like 40 questions asked to me about stuff this week that as an RA I kinda should know...but don't. I am working Thursday- am on duty Friday and Saturday and am working again Sunday. Therefore making me the most unsocial girl ever. College is supposed t be fun but this year seems to just be work...and I have not done much of that!
Well all I know is that Kathy Santoni is the only thing getting me through all this nonsense! I love college and I love being an RA it just is tooooooo much sometimes! But se la vie! haa!(had to put that in somewhere Laura!)
Here is my list of my favoritest things:
1. Family dinners
2. Best Friend Squad
3. Kathy Santoni
4. Interpritive Dancing
5. My Residents (well the cute ones ne way)
6. Disney Vacations with great friends
7. Text messages....
8. All my RAA's
9. Suprise donughts
10. Reading of conversations with Laura
I just need to clap it out!

So, I guess the cool thing to do is update!!!
For some reason life has just been crazy, not for any particular reason it just is...
so today was terrible- work calls me at 10:20AM and says you are scheduled to work why are you not here..I had no clue I was working so I told them I was not coming in. The first time I missed work ever.
But I need to kick Brandon out of my bed so I can sleep. I was going to write about my day but o well. |

So you wanna hear a funny story? I am now an RA. Yeah and tonight was great. First night on duty, all of the RA's were on tonight so the 3 of us were haning out. There was a party in a suite and of course we wanted to look like we were a little strict about this whole drinking thing so we go and bust it up. They were thankful they were not written up and promised neva to do it again. Well low and behold 2 hours later- another party. So as the other RA is walking into the room 3 guys jump out of the window. So the RA runs and yells but they got away. Little do they realize that they are still residents in this building therefore we know who they are. I love freshman. So quick to figure out whats going on here at Monmouth.
So on another note- I am the worst at this journal thing. But I am so tired from RA stuff all week. Ireally can't wait for school to start so I can be on a normalish schedule.
Quote of the day (in which I heard like a bigillion times):
"ummm are you like a cool RA or are you going to get us in trouble?" |

Today started out very stressed and crazy becuase I was working with the 2 worst people at my store. Not only are they bad workers they are terrible at customer service, so I was the one doing all the work I also had to patch up customer problems as well (meaning calm the screaming lady at the register down and get her to understand the I work with total morons.) So then my Mair, Michelle, and Tonya came in and it made my day. If not for a few people at my store I would have quit 2 years ago. So my morning was quickly patched up by the bestest people!! Then I talked to my Laura-cakes and got very upset at Monmouth for being so very mean. But it will all be good and this year is going to be great(except there will be more studying involved heee..) My last real week of work is next week and it is going to be sad becuase my Maryann is going to be away. She has been one of the greatest people in my life since sophmore year, she is the best. |

Today was such a crazy day! Well all of work was at least- some events:
1.) John did a hilarious pole dance in the middle of the pharmacy.
2.) Tonya and I were bored and sand and danced around while filling prescriptions
(but that goes on everyday)
3.) Stephanie had to show everyone her bruises from her car accident including the ones her son gave her by punching her in the arm.
4.) "I'll find your card, take off your jacket"- "I think Michelle just wants John to take off his clothes"Tonya
5.) Always room for more lunch
Today for the first time in a few weeks I felt like work was fun again. Of course now that I only have 2 real weeks left I want to stay. When is it ever easy? |

This week is over..I can't believe how fast and yet long it was. Every year there is always a story to tell, a special kid that brightened my week or a crazy event that could only happen in Laura and my class. Last night was our closing ceremony and it was so beautiful. Every year it is so funny because the kids love to sing and they learn the songs and the motions so well but when it comes time to perform most of the kids get up on stage and stare into the audience. This year for some reason I felt so unprepared and felt that I was not having any influence on my class. Normally our class is the best behaved and model class for the rest of the older kids. But this year something was different. This year I was really concerned about our closing song because the kids didn't really seem to get it. But when they got up there- they sang their best, did the hand motions, and were so cute! Afterward there was the cutest picture presentation made by (as Laura calls him) Tomcat. (haa) That of course made Laura and I (and some moms) cry.
We are so corny.
It was also really great to see some of my kids from previous years in the older class- they said they remembered my class and missed me which was really great because I felt like they got something out of it.
Well back to normal life again I guess. This week was great, as it is every year. Mainly due to the fact that I get to hang out with the coolest kids, hopefully teaching them something very important in the process and I get to do it with my best friend. |

So the kiddies are so so so so so so cute and fun and happy and exciting! Except for the fact that we had a kid freak out and go crazy today. Typical boy I guess. But of course my poor Laura had to deal with him..then we had a crying girl wich crazy enough Laura delt with as well. Laura you are going to be a great teacher! haa... every year..it never fails... thank you laura for every child who ever screamed or cried that you dealt with- you are a saint and I could never have gotten through it without you!
Memories:
"I want myyy mmmoooooooooooommmmmmmmm!"
Babs and the kool-aid
"What's her problem?"
Going on a lion hunt X 10 million
or bunny foo-foo or ants go marching
Throw up everywhere
Never-Fail Games- the big ball and the jumping game
"You love Jesus- Way to be!"
Everything with Ms Betty
Outlasting all the helpers and leaders for this class
spray paint and how it never seems to land where it is supposed to(cars etc)
Babs and Ms Emily and how nothing ever worked out with them.
Singing all the songs and remembering them years later. I found me a treasure, I found a friend (what was that 1999 or 2000?)
Only could have happened to us!
Pre-K class is the best! |

I am not sure if this should be a happy entry or a sad one...I am so excited about starting Vacation Bible School with my Laura this week! Being with kids always makes me happy..its just the stress that comes before it. There are so many responsibilites that are involved with this and this year for some reason everyone decided to wait till the last second and ask for help from me..which of course I can't say "no". So along with figuring out my pre-K class I had to help figure out the older kids and the play and memorize lines and music and other crazy stuff. I guess because I am an elementary ed major I should be doing everything.
But thats the happy part of my life this week...
The sad part all started yesterday when I went to my neighbors house.... I went over to help her and clean her room (she is old and really sick) she has a really bad breathing problem and her family never dusts so she is breathing bad air and they hardly feed her its really sad. So last summer we became really good friends which was perfect for me becuase bad things were going on and she just made me really happy. So now I take care of her..so after I cleaned her whole room not just cleaning like cleaning things out(her closet, dresser, vanity, etc.) I went into the bathroom and there was high dose medication for hospus to use and she had a DNR sign on the door. It was just really upsetting becuase I couldn't figure out a way to make her family life better..a way for her to want to live..She is so wonderful- so on my way out she gave me 2 pillows that are worth a lot of money and are so beautiful but on my way out of the house one of her grand daughters said she wanted the pillows.. It was really sad people staking claims on her stuff before she is even gone. Didn't feel like any of her family even wanted her to live. That girl can have the stupid pillows if it means they will take care of her and love her.. but sorry for my ramblings I was just really upset about this and whatever..
So I dedicate my subject to Laura's song that by the way I am starting to like.. its catching on i guess. |

So this whole week has consisted of freaking out about this class I am teaching and work...and work has been the worst this week. For some reason one of the pharmacists is being a total jerk to me. I am doing them the favor by working there this summer--they were like begging me to help them out, I could be making so much more money other places but I decided to be nice and now I'm just aggravated. Plus I love when I do work and other people take credit for it. For some reason I decide to go all out at work and get a million things done and it is never good enough. For what I get paid I shouldn't be doing half of the work I do. But thats how it goes I guess. Luckily I am going to stop working in 3 weeks for vacation! I can't wait. Plus I am going crazy about my class next week.
Next week will be non-existent for me...VBS all morning then working till I collapse from exhaustion.
So much for summer.... |

Celebration of the Fourth of July started on 4th Street where I met my lovely Laura, Kickin Kate and of course Jumpin Jason and Marvelous Mark...we then went to my grandparents lake house and watched the fireworks and had some munchies. I haven't seen Kate in forever so it was fun. We then proceded back to 4th Street to meet up with Adam and beat the boys in "Battle of the Sexes" (of course we won, I mean really).
Today was grand becuase I got to spend it at the great CVS Pharmacy...luckily with the holiday everyone was out having fun so I got to sit there bored and read my book. The next event was a nice dinner out with Henry, JJ, and Fouzia. Henry and I waited in Chilis for a half hour for the other 2 to show up but it was fun cuz I haven't seen him since Christmas break. So after mucho fajitas and soda I am here.
Happy Fourth of July!! |
