Spring Break 08!

Spring break week March 10th through the 14th was the best week of my life. It was my first trip as an adult (being 18) and that meant I could get into a club (legally) now. I went with the best group of girls who I'm still in touch with today, and we went to Destin Florida. This wasn't my first trip without any parents but it was my first trip where I had to pay my way on everything! I paid my part on the condo, gas, food, groceries, and everything. And since I knew it was coming up I had been saving for a while.

We got really lucky with our condo only having to pay 25 dollars a piece since one of my friends knew the lady that owned it. It was a beautiful three bedroom , huge master bathroom, big huge shower that everybody fought over, and it was over looking the beach!(not the shower the condo!)

It was also right across from wal mart which came in very handy! We went almost every day because we quickly ran out of food and 'drinks' very often. We left Saturday around 9 before the week actually started because we were just that eager to get down there. We took 2 vehicles, I drove mine which was definitely an experience. Everybody else slept..I was up driving. But that's a good thing I had something to do because I would have been to excited to sleep! The first thing we did when we got down there was made a wal mart run. We stocked the fridge up and cabinets. Did a little somethin somethin, then all passed out. We layed out every day and went out every night. We usually ate lunch on the beach and supper at a restaurant. We went to the Lucky Snapper, some bar, The Swamp, and some more places but I honestly can't remember.

Anyways it was the most fun I've probably every had and I would love to go back next summer with the same group of girls. I went with almost a thousand dollars came home with a little over a hundred..but hey at least I was prepared. We made so many fun memories and fun saying that we all say when we get together an laugh about it for hours! We actually wanted to move to Destin next summer and get jobs down there. Who knows what will happen thought..It would be fun!

Peace =D

Workin'

^

(This is me and my bestest friend at work.. Kei Kei!!)
So I've learned that jobs are over rated. Especially if you are in school and are forced to work. It is just too too much! Sure having money is always good, but so is having free time which you lose a lot of if you have a job and school. My suggestion is if you have to quit one quit your job instead of school. Quitting school would be just stupid! That would basically mean throwing your life away. You can't hardly make it these days without a good education.

Right now I am going to school (obviously) and I have a job. But its by choice, I love having a job so I can have my own spending money and I feel a little bit more independent ya know?! I have been working at Mack's West for the past two years. I do love it there although sometimes I get a little tired of going home smelling like fried fish (since it is a seafood buffet.) I work with some pretty amazing people. They are probably the most crazy, friendly, and most random people I know but I love them all too death and there is never a dull moment around that place!

I am the hostess that has been there the longest so I'm always the first to go in and the first to get the chance to go home. I pretty much run the place and can take off whenever I want to! I am off this Saturday because one of my best friends is getting married and I can't miss it! The only bad thing about working there is that they're only open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. So my weekends are pretty much shot. Well that's it for now! Check back later!

Peace =D

School so far..

So my conclusion of school so far is that I'm pretty much in love with it. I know its going to be super hard but I'm okay with that, I have always liked a challenge. I actually don't mind studying or writing because I did it all through high school and I'm used to it. (less the study part, I always had book smart but way less of the common sense part.) I have to study twice as hard and a lot more but thats alright with me. As long as I have my study buddies in each class I'm good to go. I've gotten pretty good at balancing my social life with work and school. I've always wanted to be some kind of doctor or nurse so I always knew I would have to work super hard for it.

Next week is going to be my toughest week so far though. Tuesday I have my first math test. Wednesday I have my lab journal due in biology, my first biology test, and my first big test in world civilizations (not counting the quizzes we have every stinking week!) On that test she told us we would have an essay question and I am kinda freaking out about it because I don't understand half the things she talks about in class.

But all in all school is going pretty well. I have met many new friends that I adore with all my heart. I already know of some life long friendships I'll have with these fun and amazing new people. I have much more freedom and a lot more responsibility. Morning classes kind of suck simply because of the fact that I am not a morning person. Night classes are okay just not the one I am in right now. Also having a night class the night before a 8 am class is just no fun! A girl needs her beauty rest which I definitely don't get enough of!

Get in the ZONE! >:\ Grr

When I say zone I am definitely not talking about a good one! For all you students out there that have to spend 3 LONG, BORING, DREADFUL hours in the math zone I'm sure you feel my pain and see where I'm coming from on this. I just spent my Thursday night doing math in that place, and it was cold. As usual. You can't even use your phone..what kinda craziness is that?

I don't understand why you can't just do the homework on your own time as long as they are turned in by the deadline. I can see doing quizzes and tests in there but since the homework is online anyway why not just do it in the comfort of your own home.

Plus, when you have a major major headache from not wearing your glasses like your supposed to, then you have to look at a computer screen full of numbers forever, it hurts bad. And when you haven't slept for 2 days in a row..yea that's not good either. But I guess that's kinda my fault. Wait no, I'm blaming them!

I go to school all day all week then work on weekends and they expect me to find time to spend 3 hours a week in that one place. The homework and quizzes don't even take that long. It'd be better if we could just get up and leave when we were done with our work. Actually, it'd be better if we didn't have to go at all, just to take tests and quizzes like I was saying earlier. Maybe one day kids won't have to go through this kind of torture!

UGH! Had to vent..Peace! =D

P.S. On top of my math troubles..I am having difficulties getting my profile to be shared. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
