Excitement was short lived. Sad again.
Trying not to be.

Hot.

It is really f-ing hot! I hate it. I wish that the air actually worked at my place of work but it doesn't so I have been sweating my butt off for the last 9 hours only to home home to my hot apartment to sweat my butt of here. I hate summer, okay I don't I love summer I just hate how it feels like you can drink that air right now. Okay enough of that.

Not a whole lot has been going on. Just work and taking class. Class finished on Friday but now I have to write the final paper and turn it in by Sunday, but for me that means by Friday because Mom and Dad are coming to visit on Friday. Not too stressed.

Just so everyone knows, Kristen is the most fabulous person on the face of the planet! She totally helped me get my house reorganized so that it is clean when mom and dad get here. Not onl y clean but we rearranged the furnature as well, no easy feat let me tell you. We did find out though that the next door neighbors do not like it if you hang picutres at 3:30 in the morning. To that I have to say.... STEP OFF! IT IS MY APARTMENT AND I WILL DO WHATEVER I WANT TO IN IT AND WHENEVER I WANT TO!

Sometimes I truly hate apartment living, but than again if I had a house it would be more expensive and I would have to mow the lawn and shovel snow, so I guess I will take it and be satisfied.

Last week I went up to the cities and cut off all of my hair. It isn't really short but shorter and I think that I kind of like it. It is cute for summer. I wish I had pictures but my digital camera is missing right now but I will find it and take a picture and post it.

Okay I need to start this paper or I will never get it done.

Peace.

Thought of the day....
I wonder what else I can do at 3am to piss off my neighbors? Hmmm...

Update

Hello everyone!
Sorry it has been forever since my last post. Since then I have...

-worked a lot
-partied a little
-worked at speech camp
-completed a class
-started another class
-read 3 books
-help Cha and Heather and Mickey move
-gone swimming
-hung out with friends
-met mom and dad at the airport
-cried a little
-been BROKE
-laughed
-hung out with Jezibell

So it has actually been a pretty uneventful month other than speech camp which was super duper fantastic! I loved hanging out with Michael, Paige, Darren, Juice and the other kids. I heart high school P.A.ers.

I have a bruise on my arm that looks like fingerprints. Every day at work someone asks me what it is from and when I tell them I can see the side looks they give one another. I promise no one was beating me, Cha and Heather just have a lot of big, awkward stuff that sucked moving. I really do love their new place though so I guess that it was worth it, as long as I get to hang out whenever I want, play in their pool, and get free beer for life.

I am getting a hair cut on Saturday. I know to most this is not a big deal, but to me it is cause I want to really chop it off and I have been growing it for like two years now and am torn about what to do.

Work is work, I don't much like it anymore, but I do laugh with the ladies. I think that they will miss me when I am gone, and I will miss them as well.

So yeah, I don't know much of anything else. I am just here, doing my own thing I guess. Hopefully will update when I have something good to say.

Ahh...behold, the power of the tower of beer... this was the second one!
This was the first. I have mad props to those who partook in the tower of beer, cause this NorthernPrincess could not...If only I could go back in time...
All of us at the Q. (from left) Cha, KristinFriend,Jesus,BestFrienda, NorthernPrincess

My Favorite Drag Queen Ever! As seen at the Q in Lincoln. I peed my pants a little during this picture cause she touched me.

Holiday Weekend and Summer Jobs...

So summer is here, and I am working for a temp agency. I have been placed for the summer at a construction company in Mankato and do their billings and such. It is okay. I have the 8-?? and that is okay, I am getting used to mornings, however, I would really like to leave at 5 when I am supposed to but never usually do, and end up getting overtime. Not that I mind the extra cash, but I need a life outside of work to.

Today at work the printer and I had a fight. I had one last report to get printed and then I could go home for the day and the printer decided that it would be tired and not print anything. It kept printing this report that we cancelled like 4 times then finally after yelling at it, making everyone in the office laugh at me, it gave up and I triumphed over the printer. I love the sweet smell of freshly printed victory.

I never thought that words such as tonnage and haul code, haul rate, material phase, or quarry would be part of my everyday vocabulary, but alas they are. But really it isn't so bad. I am getting to know some of the other ladies and it is getting a little more easy to come into the office, plus dance parties to Skakira (sp) in Barb's cube help.

This weekend went up to the cities to chill with ChaCha and KristinFriend. It was wonderful. Hit up the local lesbian bar where a conversation about whether the bartender was a man or women took place, still unsure. I seriously have no clue on this one. But he/she was winking a lot at KristinFriend, so Cha and I tried to convince her to take her/him home to find out and let us know. KristinFriend decided that she wasn't interested in finding out and the mystery was more fun so we are right back where we started, unknowing. Bonus about "Pat"/"Gabe" the bartender, awesomely bad drinks that make you wonder how you got home and how you got that drunk cause you only had two white Russians, well that you remember anyway.

Got laughed at in the parking lot because I had a conversation with Cha that went like this...
"You honestly think that I am drunk enough to think that I should drive home!?!" -the crowd in the parking lot laughed at me. Then when I said, " NO, I can't drive home! Now, drive me home bitch." (bitch was not used in a mean way) The crowd applauded and I hung my head and got in the car, lost a pack of natives, and apparently cried alot because I missed BestFrienda. Now I don't remember this I am taking Cha's word for it, but there was a phone call placed to BestFrienda that evening where I told him that I loved him and that I was drunk. (again, no memory, he told me).

Saturday did some shopping and a CSI marathon with Kristin and Cha (when she got off work). Sunday more CSI, some shopping, tired to go to the 90's but is was crazy (not in the good way), left went to the Rock where photo hunt was played and high scores were accomplished. Monday was more CSI then home to nap before having to go to work on Tuesday.

So this post is way to crazy long so I will quit, but leave you with pictures from my trip back to the NE.
Peace and love to all.

The first cut is the deepest...

So my first year of graduate school has been over for a week now. Do I feel enlightened, NO, should I? I am not sure. I just know that I made it through and I only have a summer and a semester left of coursework then it is internship time. Yea! I can't believe that next year at this time I will have my hood.
The semester ended with a bang. Well metaphorically it did. We all got along, we all partied, and so far I haven't heard anyone talking shit on me so that is good.
Started at the temp. Agency full time working for Southern Minnesota Construction in their accounts payable department. It is an office job, it blows, but it is good money. I put in 30 hours in the last 3 days, I am tired but busy. I like to be busy. Today at work my boss called her computer "sassy" it made me laugh, then I got into a fight with my stapler for a good 15 minutes. It was a good time. Makes the day interesting.
Headed home to the H-town/S-town tomorrow. I am so excited. I haven't seen my family since before my birthday so I can't wait to see them and my friends again. Kristin and Char are making the trip with me so it will be extremely fun! I can't wait. So much left to do. The extra hours at work this week made it hard for me to get anything done to prepare for the trip. By the time I get home I am exhausted so I go to bed.
So tomorrow I need to accomplish:

-doing my laundry
-cleaning out my car
-vacuuming out my car
-washing my car
-packing
-trying on all the clothes in my closet so I have something decent to wear for graduation
-cleaning my house so it isn't such a pit
-dishes
-playing with Jezi-bell so she doesn't destroy the house while I am gone

I think that is it. Lots to do before 4:00. Hopefully my schedule will work out and I wont be running around like crazy before we take off. Yea!

Okay I am tired. I am going to bed. Much love to all. Hope to see you when I am back home!

Tuesday, May 09, 2006

No matter what, Tuesday will always be my favorite day of the semester.

So this is my last day of my first year of graduate school. I have been done since last week but I give my students their final today and I am done. Yea! It is strange to actually feel a sense of accomplishment this year. At Hastings it was like WooHoo I'm done, but here it is like, I can't believe I made it through this entire year without having a nervous breakdown. So yeah. I'm done.

Summer is looking like it is going to be rather unproductive. I still haven't found a job. I am working for a temp. Agency right now, but I have only worked 5 hours for them. I need money. Real bad. I am taking 2 classes, so that will keep me busy for a month, but seriously, I need a job.

Forensics banquet was last weekend. So much fun, some tears, and a difficult good bye. I hate end of the year parties.

Jezi-bell Marie is driving me crazy! Ugh, if this what having a child is like, I don't want one.

I need to get ready for the final. I don't want to do out and get my make-up out of my car. Maybe I won't. I don't know, I haven't decided yet.

I hate morning. The sun comes right in my window and pisses me off. Stupid sun.

I am coming back to Hastings for graduation. Will be in Friday night until Sunday. Let me know what's going on there, someone, okay?

Okay, I need to get moving. Will post pictures of the wedding and such later, I promise. Okay peace out.

NFA Post.

So I am here in beautiful Eau Claire, WI for NFA. So far things are going well. No huge mishaps, well perhaps one where a nice gentleman got the VERY wrong impression and asked me out on a date type meeting and proclaimed to another coach how "HOT" I am. After meeting said gentleman out for a drink ( I had to go to let him down), much to my superise and annoyance, he was drunk, very, very, drunk and touching me and flirting and making me very uncomfortable. I am not sure what part of, "All I want to do is drink a beer and talk as friends." gives the wrong impression. I even told him I was dating someone and it still didn't quit. So after I left his side at the bar, and started chatting with other Mankato peeps, he came over and invaded our table. (I was not impressed at all) Finally I was able to convince him that I needed to get to bed cause it was an early morning and he insisted on walking me to my room! Ugh, I politly declined a couple of times and finally he left. I waited 5 minues and then headed back to my room so that I could call ChaCha to discuss the situation. Then this morning said gentleman came up to me (my avoidance techniques were off due to lack of sleep and little coffee) to APOLOZIGE for being an asshole. In my true form I said, "Don't apologize, it wasn't a big deal." I was trying to be nice. Then for the next 15 minutes I had to politly decline invatations for drinks for the rest of the week.

Ugh, I guess I don't understand. My only reaction was, damn I am hott and why it is only at nationals when guys want to pick me up? I suppose it is some sort of tradition for me, but this time was utterly annoying and unpleasent.

Other news. I am having so much fun here at NFA. The team has gone crazy. I think that I have almost peed my pants from laughing at least 6 time. Other than it taking 5 hours to get here because we were stuck in traffic in the cities for about 2 hours, everything is wonderful and I know that we will do well. Yea. Okay I need to go and do something else not.

Peace out my friend. Hope you are having fun whatever you are doing.

Funny Quote

This is what happenend in the office today...
We sat around and made fun of each other and than someone gave the office chocolate and it only got worse.

"I just choked on a Robin's egg!"-Frank
"Really no on should give me chocolate because I will just eat a mass quanity of it."-Holly
"The damn Robin's egg is still stuck in my throat."-Frank
"Hey, whats 7x18?"-Frank
"I don't know, let me look on my phone."-Holly

So it is crazy in here and fun. I love it.

Stressed Excitement!

I forgot how much I hate packing for 4N6 tournaments. All season it hasn't been bad because I can wear jeans and a sweater and it is okay, but for NFA i have to wear real clothes. And I don't have that many real clothes so this whole packing things has been stressing me out! In other news, I am SO EXCITED to judge at a national tournament! AND i am so excited for my team, they are going to ROCK the HOUSE! I can't wait!! AHHH So much to do, so little time, so excited! Ahh. Okay, I need to go to school to coach and for a dept. meeting, then home to get stuff done, laundry, packing, writing a paper, etc. And I need to clean becuase Nadene is going to watch Bella while I am gone, UGH. No Time.

Tuesday!

Welcome to the last day of my school week! Yea! I have so much to do before I can even think of leaving for NFA and we leave on Thursday! I am so excited. I can't belive that I am up at 9:30 am and in this good of a mood. It feels a little strange. I think that it is because I went to sleep dreaming of Blue OCtober and woke up to them as well. Beautiful new C.D. I love, love, love, it. Char is a little jelous of my love for Blue October, she hasn't said anything specifically but I can tell that when I shush her becuase Justin is trying to serinade me, it makes her upset. ChaCha, I promise in like 2 months I will not be so obsessed. But until then we have to work together....we can make it through this, I promise, times 3.
Okay, in other news, today is the showcase for the team, I am pretty stoked about it. (Does anyone even say stoked anymore?) It will be good to see everyone perform. I am totally wearing capri pants and sandles today because it is going to be 75, I LOVE IT! I absolutly love springtime. Unfortunatly the nice weather makes me unmotivated to do school so that sucks a little.

Anyways, iPod is done updating,and I need to get to school. I will write again soon.

Spring is here, I think...

So I think that spring has arrived in the Northland, although I am not really sure. It has been beautiful here, even if it is a little rainy. I love days where I wake up to the rain beating on my window. I like to curl up in my covers and just listen, think about life, just be. I had a morning like that today. It was beautiful.

Life here has been pretty uneventful. Lots of coaching as the kids got ready for AFA. I hate not being with them. I did get to drive them to the airport though, so that was good. Did a little shopping at MOA after leaving them. Didn't buy anything, just a good window shopping day.

Got quals back, did well. Happy about that. School is going okay. I feel like I am stuck in my research project and am not really sure how to get out of it. It sucks a little.

Really missing my friends back home lately. I miss fun Holly. I feel like she is lost right now. I feel old. I am only 23 and I spend 5 days a week hanging out at home with my cat. Occasional I get a call to do something but that is rare. It sucks a bit.

Trying to find a job. I hate the search. I wish I would know if I have an assistantship next year so that I can try to plan my next step. Not really sure what to do at this point. Just rollin' with it I suppose. Trying not to let myself think to far ahead and get stressed out and worried. I know that everything will be okay, but not exactly sure how.

Need to do some shopping for NFA. Don't know what to wear. Marathon speeching... Don't know how I feel about it. We'll see.

I must go and do something today. I have lounging all day long. Need to try and be productive.

Thoughts of the day: Do people miss me the way that I miss them? And Why am I always expected to be there for everyone else but then they are not here for me?
