well.. I am at work again, and this seems to be the only thing I can do to occupy my time as of late. There are only six golfers on the course and no one wants lunch--especially since lunch time is pretty much over now that it's 2:30. Mark is at my house getting some work done waiting around for me to get back. I hate that I have to work while he's here, but I suppose that is what grown ups do. sigh... only.... two and half more hours and I get to leave.

I think I have found the most annoying phrase in existence... "Ooh-righ', Ooh-righ', Ooh-righ' " My boss repeats this phrase over and over when he can't think of anything else to say or do, then tells me to clean something as though that should occupy the rest of my day. He is nice, albeit a bit annoying.

up...

...date

kinda... I don't have a whole lot of time because I am at work typing this... But i just wanted to share with everyone that life is wonderful.

Since late November I have met and started dating a wonderful man. He was a fellow english major so that automatically makes him cool. He makes me smile and laugh; he brings out the best in me and challanges me to be a stronger person. He's coming to see me *hopefully* on this coming Thursday, and staying for over a week. I've been looking forward to this since January 5th when I had to leave from my visit to Michigan (which was wonderful). His family was very nice, even took care of me when I had the flu. Mark, his sister Bri, and I all went ice-skating at the MSU ice-rink which I thought was cool, and his family gave me a MSU sweatshirt as a parting gift which I thought was very sweet and thoughtful. Sorry all you Clemson and USC fans, I have officially pledged allegience to MSU.

There are so many other things that I can say about how wonderful Mark (such as he's planning to move down here to NC with me!) and his family are but, I will leave it at that and wait to tell more when this next visit is over.

Other than this aspect of my life, i am just working at the Turnhouse of a Golf Community, making sandwiches, serving beverages, and generally being a waitress. It's nothing to do with my degree, but it pays well and I can make do with this good position for now until God drops something in my path. God is good.

Graduated...

Wow... So I have officially graduated. I surprizingly don't feel much different than two days ago when I hadn't graduated. Other than the fears of living on my own, supporting myself, making rent and generally being an adult, this isn't so bad.

I'm going to miss seeing my friends every day of the week... especially Kyle, cause he went to Texas and that feels like we'll never see him again, though we better! ::ahem.. Kyle:: Thank you guys for being such great friends... gosh I say that like I'm leaving and never coming back, like you guys would be that lucky, you can't get rid of me that easily.

I will miss my teachers, they were amazing, so sweet and caring and encouraging just when you need it.

Yet despite all this, I'm looking forward to the next section of my life. I look forward to being an adult (however scary), and I look forward to life outside of research papers, MLA, and grammar. hehe. It's exciting to know that I've earned my degree, completed something that took four and a half years of hard work, tears, and near heart attacks to finish.

Everyone has asked me what I'm going to do now that I've graduated, I have no idea beyond getting a job, moving into an apartment/ house with Hope, and learning how to be a responsible adult. Writing is in my present and future, though I don't know when a publishing company will be in my life.

The next stage in my life is upon me. Now it's time to jump in. Wish me luck!

Currently Listening Second First Impression By Daniel Bedingfield All The Little Children see related

Okay, so it seems to be the new thing to put this on your profile, at least two of my friends have so far so I am as well....

1. Open your library on your Zen or Ipod or other MP3 player
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question press the next button.

Opening Credits: Whitney Housten: "I Will Always Love You"

sounds like this is going to be a depressing movie...

Waking Up: The Fray: "Trust Me"

I'm not a morning person... so maybe a slightly depressing song works?

Falling In Love: Alicia Keys: "Fallen"

"I Keep on Fallin' in, in in love/ with you. Sometimes I love ya, sometimes you make blue."

Could this have been sadder? I don't think so.

Fight Song: Plus One: "Why Can't You be There for Me?"

I like how my fight song has the lyric- "you kick me when I'm down."

Breaking Up: Rascal Flatts: "My Worst Fear"

"All along i knew there was something missin' and only one thing left to do/ we had toleave the life we'd been livin' /but the only thing that left was you/ Gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leavin/ Now that I know how much you care/ You finally gave me one reason not to go/ but bein alone is my worst fear."

Do I need to say anything?

Making up: Daniel Beddingfield: "He Don't Love You Like I Love You."

stalker who will never get the girl...

Life's Ok: Black Eyed Peas: "They Don't Want Music"

A pretty upbeat song... it fits.

Mental Breakdown: Jason Mraz: "Clockwatching"

Funny that impatience is what always drives me nuts.

Driving: Franz Ferdinand: "Take Me Out."

Such a good driving song!

Flashbacks: Rascal Flatts: "Love You Outloud."

Kinda fits I guess... I sure hope my life doesn't reflect a country music song.

Happy Dance: Cascada: "How Do You Do?"

Techno is always fun to dance to... haha

Regret: Renee Olstead: "Breakin Up Is Hard to Do"

This song is a duet about the end of a relationship...

Final Battle: Yellow Card: "Only One"

Apparently my life is a sappy tragic romance or something... and I give up easily

Death Scene: Rachel Lampa: "If You Believe"

...from the soundtrack of A Walk to Remember... only the most depressing movie ever.

Final Credits: Daniel Beddingfield: "All The Little Children"

DEPRESSING... yeah my movie was a tragedy. 

I suggest that if you want a good laugh and a lot of fun, do this too... haha

First All-Nighter of the Semester...

It is now quarter till 6 a.m. I have had a twenty minute cat-nap... it was pleasant.

I have finished So much of my portfolio. All that is left is one revisions which should take me maybe a half an hour, maybe I'll do it now... I don't know... I'm a little tired, but a little hyper too.

This feels weird... I'm hungry, but at the same time I'm feelings sick. I am only posting to keep myself awake for the next fifteen minutes... Haley is getting up soon so I'll have someone to talk to.

I feel like crap.

I want sleep.

I want breakfast.

I want to be done with school work, yet there is more looming on my bed at the moment.

I'm gonna finish revising.

Well this took a total of three minutes to type... so productive and I wasted SO much time. yay.

I hope I don't fall asleep again.
