my sickness

So I had to work the biggest tournament of the year at my job, I work at a golf course. I had to be at work at 5:30 a.m. I was not looking forward to it. All of the people I hang with had been sick, throwing up and well you know what else. Luckily I hadn't caught it yet but sure enough it hit me at the worst time. I was greatful to be working with my best friend Brandi. She let me go home early so I wouldn't be miserable. I got so sick and dehydrated my mom came in and found me on the floor by my toilet shaking really bad. She took me to the hospital to get an IV so I could get some of my liquids back. It was a ruff night but am really thankful for my mom.

Papers

Being in this advanced composition class has had me thinking alot. I am always having to write papers or update my blog so my mind is constantly roaming. I got to thinking about everything I have written and my writing has put alot of things in perspective for me in my life. I have written about vacations, my dog, my jobs, and my relationships. I guess having to analyze everything I have done and how I felt about it made me realize more. The experience of this class has been great. I feel sonfident in having good writing skills now.

Chasing Shug

Last night around midnight I was unloading a few things out of my car and my dog Shug ran out of the front door. Since he doesn't get to roam freely due to him being deaf he was excited not to be on a chain and took off. I was barefooted and by the time I had ran for a few minutes in one direction he was gone in the other. I thought I was never going to catch him. I figured well if he doesn't come home I'm just not going to have a dog any more because I can't keep up.After a few stickers in my feet, a fall in the mud, and running through the woods I was exhausted. I ran back to my house and got in my car thinking maybe I could catch up with him. It took a while but I finally got his soaking wet, no minding ass in the car. I was irate. I really could have killed my dog. Needless to say he slept outside and hopefully learned his lesson.

My Opa's Birthday

Yesterday was my Opa's (grandfather in german) birthday. He was 82, all of his paper work says that he is 84 though. This is because my grandfather is a survivor of the Holocaust only because he lied about his age. Every year on his birthday I think of this and it makes me realize how precious he is to me. The only survivor of the entire family and he means the world to me. He teaches me everything he can and his words always inspire me. I am very lucky to have the granfather that I do. I am also very lucky to have him healthy and living at the age of 82. I hope and pray he will be here for many more years to come. I really enjoyed having his birthday dinner at Outback with the family.

My Grandfather

This sunday is the annual Holocaust Memorial Commemoration. I always attend being that my grandfather is the only survivor of our entire family. It is a big deal and everyone should know what happened so they don't forget. At the commemoration 11 candles are lit in honor of the 11 million people killed 6 million being Jews and 5 million being non Jews. My grandfather, which I call Opa, has lit a candle each year as long as I can remember. Rose Van Tyn always gives her speech and does a wonderful job even though her accent is so strong you can barely understand her. Ther are awards given to high school students that send in essays they have written. There are 3 prizes. All different money amounts for kids to use for college. I think it is great. The news is always there and it is in the paper also. If anyone is interested it will be on Sunday at Summer Grove Baptist Church ,aka the old South Park Mall, at 3:30. Dress well.

the pain Im im

I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday. Today is tuesday and my face is still swollen, I would love to feel full. Hunger is horrible and the pain makes it even worse. Not to mention the nausea that the medicine causes. Im not sure if my sticthes will dissolve or if they have to take them out but I just want to feel better. Im not good with pain, it kind of freaks me out. I go back to work tommorow and was supposed to go back to school today but due to the thnder storm my electricity went out and my alram didn't go off. Sometimes I wonder when I can get a break. I hoping to end my class with a good grade and give my self a breal so I can start over in the fall and do well.

I got a new job!

I woke up, went in for the interview and as of today I don't wait tables any more! Thank goodness cause that was starting to get old! Now I will be workinjg with Brandi at Olde Oaks Golf Club, I worked there twice before so I'm sure I will enjoy it. My life is changing and it is pretty scary but I guess thats a part of it. I will probably move soon to be closer to work but am also nervous about that. I have my own place and living with someone is terrifying, having to watch what you say and do is going to be hard. Getting used to how other people are is hard too. I hope it works out, i think it will have to.

what a week

Well, my week started out, I thought I was having a great day. On the way to school to do some homework I dicided to rear end someone. Well that not being the first time, it really upset me! I guess things happen for a reason but the doctor I hit asked me on a date. Well thats unusual I thought. I went, had a great time and made a new friend. Not two days later someone came up to me at my job and squeezed me so hard that the muscles in my chest and back were sprained. I was in so much pain, I went to the ER and they put me on bed rest for 7 days. It sucked! I missed so much work and it happened to be the week the rent was due. I guess it never fails. My luck, what a week.

My frustrations

So many things in life make me more than frustrated. People that dont tip every day when I work so hard to wait on them habd and foot. People that dont appreciate the things that you go so far out of your way to do for them. Friends that don't offer gas money when you just took them half way around America and your gas light comes on. Having to go to the gay club every time you go out because the only person that will go with happens to be your only gay friend and refuses to go anywhere else. These are some of the things that are on my mind alot. People are rather frustrating and the things they do and the way they act doesn't help a bit. You wonder "would it help to bring it to these people attention how ridiculous they are?" I used to open my mouth and let them know mut now I realize, It doesn't make a difference, they are just ignorant and thats hpws its gonna be so either get over it or move on with your life. Dont let dumb people get to you. Great advise!!

Writing my paper

as I was thinking of what to write my essay on israel popped in my head. It seemed to be the most signifigant point in my life and had the most meaning. I kept a journal that i wrote in every day over the 6 week trip and luckily I found it and it really helped with my memory and writing the essay. After I finished my paper I looked in the back of it to find that everyone i had went on my trip with had signed my book. Many people had moved away but i got in touch with so many people I wen on the trip with. I found out what schools everyone was attending and am now making arrangements to visit. With out having to write this essay I probably wouldn't be in touch with these people. They are definately the coolest and couldn't be happier that I got in touch. My trip was the best ever and the friendships I made, I will have them for the rest of my life. I'm glad I chose a great topic for me.

About my day

Today I woke up, went to work for about six hours. I made $66.00 so I wasn't too upset. My grandparents were coming over for dinner for the first time at my new place so I had to clean the house. Wow it was messy. I don't have a dishwasher so that really sucks and my huge pit bull loves to bring out all of his toys and makes such a mess. Not to mention all the random pieces of bone he leaves lying around for me to step on and hurt my foot. After doing all of the laundry, dishes, vacumming and dusting I was exhausted. Cooking was the last thing i wanted to do so I headed down to the grocery in Ellerbe amd got Crawfish Fetticini Alfredo all you have to do is put it in the oven and hit bake, how conveneint I thought. They had great artesian french bread and I got a great shrimp dip with crackers. My grandmother loves fig bread so I picked her up a loaf of that too. Dinner turned out great and my grandparents loved the fact that my home was clean. I have always had a habbit of taking off my clothes and throwing them on the floor so clean house was good to the grandparents.

A day at the park

Today I went to Spar Park and walked a mile with a few friends and my godson Nathan. The weather was gorgeous and it wasn't too hot. There were many people out jogging and kids were playing and swinging and we enjoyed watching the guys play softball. Having a picnic with your friends on a nice day is probably the most relaxing thing you could do, take some time out, get away from all of the men and have a girls day out. That is so good for me! The winter isn't my favorite time of year at all so when it gets bright and sunshiny I'm ready to be outside. School takes up so much time and then when Im not there Im working, it is pretty stressful. I know in the long run it will be worth it but getting there is the hard part. Feeling exhausted everyday and diving into the bed at night sucks. There needs to be more hours in the day. Life maybe could be more enjoyable then. If not well i guess we'll see how long it takes me to get there.

Sunshiny Day

Today I woke up and enjoyed sitting on my back porch butt naked, wow do I love living in the country. My deaf animal loves to run and play in the meadow accross the way. There is so much wildlife roaming around like cranes, squirrels, and I even have a bat that lives on the roof.
I slept in on accident this morning so I didn't make it to school but defiantely enjoyed the much needed day off. Igot my hair done and I love it and had to type my essay on my trip to Israel which was so frikin fun! Woo Hooo! I tried to meet my mom for lunch but after waiting forty five minutes I was starving and realized she was to busy to make it. That sucked. It was an easy day but relaxing and the weather was beautiful. I am going to try to make time to hang out with a few friends if I can get done with all of my homework, I guess we'll see what happens.

Mardi Gras

Wow was Mardi Gras kisk ass! I has an awesome time. Jello shots, daquries, and beaded necklaces how can it get any better? Well with all of the crouds , angry people, and portelets it became to feel rather disgusting. My hands couldn't stay clean and my poor friend I brought with me some how kept falling down. That was great but I felt bad for her, she claiming to keep tripping on her shoes or the cracks in the ground but I think that she needed to quit drinking. My good friend T was there and him being so big and all I got to sit on his sholders during most of the parade. When the Huntington band came down the road and played he danced with me on top of him and we ended up getting on the news, I guess we looked like the ideal Mardi grasers, what fun! There were fights breaking out everywhere and it made you think " Why can't we all just get along and have a great time?" People don't know how to forget all the drama leave it at home and uust party with their friends. Maybe one day they will learn. Too many people end up in jail after a day of fun when alcohol is involved, in a wayI believe it shold be illegal. This weekend should be just as much fun but hopefully even better. Im sure you will hear about it next week, Happy Mardi Gras!!!!!!!!

My horrible day

It is Thursday February 15, what a week. Tuesday morning I awoke to walk outside and let my dog use the restroom to slip in some of his doings amd fall. Knowing that my day had not started off the best I was worried at what could come next. There was a storm the night before and I apparently left my window down and as I was driving to school I realized how wet my bottom was, already late I didn't have time to go back and change or even get a towel to make it better. While in deep frustration I hit and killed a dog. Now I need an entire new bumper. To make it even stranger, I wrecked my car this exact day last year while having a nervous break down about my friend passing. What a day it has been and wow it isn't even 9:00 a.m. yet. I got to class and my eye was throbbing, look in the mirror and it looks as if there is a stye. On top of it all I failed my physics test. My eye turns out to be not a stye but a tear duct infection and let me tell you is that painful. My entire face hurts, maybe even like someone punched me in it. Well then comes Valentines Day. It is supposed to be all lovey dovey and all but I was Valentineless. My good friend peyton took me out for luch and I got her a flower in return. Thank goodness friends come in on the right days, i guess thats what their for. She made my day the best it could have been. Her son is my God son so being with him makes any day great. I hope this week will get better for me, maybe Mardi gras will come and i'll have a grea time. Happy Valentines Day to you.

My life

So every day I wake up, I either go to school or work, no time to sleep in. What i would give to take a nap, what I would give to sleep until 3:00 everyday. Maybe thats because I stay out so late. My social life could play a large part in this. I go out with friends, hang out at work when i am off, and love to cruise and listen to music. That is one of my favorite things to do. I have a american pit bull terrier that is all white and deaf. Wow does that explain it all? It is so hard to train a deaf animal. It is even harder to train one that happens to be a pit bull. He is my pride and joy though, i would never take him back for anything. He is more than my dog, but has sentimental value. I lost one of my best friends in a car accident last february and after the funeral his parents called to to inform me that his puppies had been born and they would love for me to have one. His name is shug even though he definately doesn't come to that, you have to wave at him. But he's the coolest and he loves me so much and thats all that matters to me. I give him all of my energy everyday that i have left over from working and the large amounts of homework i have to get done. i enjoy my days m,ostly but also get stressed out due to not enough time being in every day. Maybe life will get easier one dsy.
