Hello Weekend

The weekend is here.... which means many hours of non stop working is ahead of me the next two days. Bring it on! This week has royally sucked, so it must be uphill from here! Or shall I say, I will make it uphill from here with a positive attitude and a smile on my face.

To get deep for a second....
Man oh man, I have an intuition that there is a lot in store for me for the next six months to a year.... I feel as though things will take their course and a lot of changes (for the better) will hopefully be developing in my life. I have been single for about six months now, and it has been truly some of the happiest times of my life. I have done some soul searching and decided the kind of person I want to ultimately be, where I want my life to be headed, what truly makes me happy as an independent woman, etc. I am excited for what the future holds for me. But for once in my life, I am happier than ever.... ready for whatever comes my way. If I am happy now, and I haven't even accomplished all of the many goals and aspirations I have for myself, I can't imagine how much happiness is ahead of me, and I cannot wait to find out and experience it! Time for less TALKING about what I want to do, and more ACTION!!!!! Embrace life. Instead of just living through it.

On a complelely different note,
My family is experiencing so many challenges right now, both as individuals, and as a family as a whole, and has been for a few years now... some circumstances that I don't even share with people, that I prefer to keep in my family, and I just have to say that I am so grateful for all of the wonderful friends and influences that I have in my life, helping me along the way. It's great to have your blood family, but it's even more amazing when you can find people in your life who fill the shoes of your family when you need them to, just because they care, no questions asked. Those are the kind of people that you don't find everyday. For those people in my life who ask me how my day is going, and truly care about my response, thank you.

I hate this week. And it's only Wednesday.

Blarghhhhhhhhh

Can I just say that I hate community colleges?!?!!? Teachers treat you like you are a stupid idiot because you aren't going to a real college, and they are always thinking that you are trying to get away with something!  Ugh.  If my GPA wasn't so bad, I would have already been at the University of Utah.   I made a decision today that I am going to apply to Weber.  I live downtown, so driving to Ogden isn't that big of a deal.  I need to start fresh at a new school, and just get everything done and graduate.  Now that I have decided on my major, I need to get serious about it and stop wasting time.  I am so frustrated with SLCC right now though.  Sometimes being grown up is hard.  Having to worry about rent, bills, money for school, work, ahhhhhhhh.  I want to go back to age five when life was simple and the extent of my worries was painting something my kindergarten teacher would like :(   on that note....it's time for a beer.

Happy Tuesday!

What a beautiful day outside!!! It feels crisp and fresh, like a fall day.  I just barely woke up, yes, at 12:30 p.m.  My sleeping problems are crazy!  I couldn't fall asleep until about 4 a.m.  Janae and I are going to get gym memberships at Planet Fitness on Thursday, and I think that working out will help me sleep a lot better.  I'm so excited for Janae and I to get in shape!  Janae has already lost fifteen pounds just by eating better in the past couple weeks.  I am so proud of her!  If anyone wants to join our gym escapades, feel free! 

Yesterday was a long day at work, a good 'ol 10:30 am-10:30 pm shift!  Open to close baby.  Nothing wrong with a day of hard work though.  I was doing my math homework between tables and making drinks behind the bar all day, so I got all of my homework done, which is good!  I have a math test tonight at 5:30, and I need to leave shortly to go study for it on campus!  I was supposed to take this test last Tuesday, but because of my recent sickness/health issues,  I am making it up today. 

Last night Regan, Alisa, Tyler, and Regan's friend, Tony, and I, all went to Green Street for a bit after work!  We call it Monday Mattness because the bartender's name is Matt.  He is such a nice guy and always takes good care of us!  What a delightful time it was! 

Tomorrow I have two job interviews for some summer (or maybe longer) second jobs!  In the morning, I have an interview with Cafe Zupas for a catering consultant position.  It sounds like it would be super fun.  Later, I have an interview for babysitting for two kids (I forgot their ages), which would be on Tuesday and Thursdays.  I may very well have a packed schedule this summer.  However, that is exactly how I want it.  I need to work super hard and save up money so that I can return full time to school in the fall without having to work so much.  I finally decided to major in Child Psychology, so I want to get my schooling rolling.  I am already halfway done with school, so let's finish this bad boy up.

On to conquer this beautiful Tuesday!
