For Once in My Life

You know that song, For Once in My Life? It's been sung by hundreds of people, but the one I'm thinking of is sung by Michael Buble. It's a song about being safe and secure in what happens next, and about finding the one person who makes you feel that way. I haven't found anyone who makes me feel that way yet, but for once in my college life, I am ready for school to start. I'm not looking forward to it, and I'd much rather be doing the summer thing the rest of my life, but I am ready for it. There are no surprises around the corner, I'm registered for all my classes and have gotten emails from my professors for all but one of them, the new Rio schedule is out and it's exactly the same as it has been, at least for me which is super nice, and super convenient, and I'm ready. I'm ready to kick this year's ASS. I'm not scared like I have been, I'm not worried about balancing everything, and I'm not worried about having buttface Barbara for two out of my four classes. She may not like me, but I don't like her even more. However, I am DETERMINED to rock the hell out of her classes, to prove to her that I CAN do the inane shit she wants me to do, even though it is all busy work and completly pointless to a real teaching situation. And I'm going to make it up to Steve, who has been awesome, and did not deserve my laziness in his class. I'm ready for this. Everything is falling into place and I am going to succeed beyond my wildest dreams this year. And when I do, in January before school starts again, I'm getting me a new tattoo :-).

WAHOO!

After two years, and many more accomplishments, I am pleased to announced ( yeah because pleased states EXACTLY how I feel about this, NOT!) that my favorite band in the whole world is coming back to the greatest state in the whole world. That's right, Thriving Ivory is coming back to Texas. And not only are they coming back to Texas, but they are coming to AUSTIN!!! And Houston actually, one after another. Here friday Sept. 19, there saturday Sept. 20. I see a mini road trip in my future :-). Is it bad to drive two and a half hours just to see a band who I haven't seen in two years? I don't think so! Who knows when they'll be here like this again?! I don't, but I am so unbelivably excited about this new development that it is NOT even funny!!!!!!

Worried, again

I had the worst night's sleep last night. Actually, that's not entirely true. Once I fell asleep, I slept like a baby, finding it very difficult to wake up this morning. But I had the hardest time actually falling asleep. At 9....thirtish, I was tired enough to try and go to sleep, so I got in my Pjs and got into bed, turning on the TV to have a little something to fall asleep to. Of course, yesterday was Doris Day's day on TCM's summer of the stars, and Young at Heart was on. Not the best pick me up movie, since Frankie baby is in it as a depressed guy who always thinks he has the short end of the stick, even when he ends up with the girl. But it ends happy, so I like it. So I watched that, and worked on my cross stitch, two things that usually make me sleepy. But when the movie was over about 11 or so, I was not tired. So I put in Pillow Talk and settled in to fall asleep. The TV turned itself off ( thank GOD for the Sleep mode), and I turned over to sleep. However my mind had other thoughts. It began to freak out about the fact that my GPA, even with an A in my summer class, is still not a 3.0, so techniqually I'm not allowed to be in the EDUC or READ classes. But these are the only classes I have left, AND the only reason my GPA is where it is is because of that one class I failed miserably. And yes, I mean FAILED with a big fat F. And how am I supposed to replace that grade if I can't retake the class because my GPA isn't up to snuff. I absolutely HAVE to graduate this year, and I don't see how I can if I can't take these classes now. I think I need to talk to Dr. Jenlink and press my case before I get one of those dream crushing emails. When will this stupid worrying go away? I couldn't even flirt properly with the cute Starbucks guy this morning. And he was really really cute. with gorgeous eyes. Kind of like Cappie in Greek, if you've ever seen that show on ABC family. But yeah. I just wish everything would fall back into place the way I need it to, that way I could chill out about everything and finally get a proper night's sleep.

I believe the correct word is IRRITATED

I should have updated this yesterday, when I was in a good mood and nothing was really going wrong. But no, I decided that updating my blog could wait until I got all the little things done at work that needed to get done. However, now I have woken up on the wrong side of the bed and everything that is happening (for the most part) today is getting under my skin. For example: I woke up this morning at 7:30. I ignored my alarm because I knew it would go off again at 8. Instead of sleeping soundly for thirty more minutes, I tossed and turned, not able to drift back to a sleep that was satisfying. So when Jason finally started singing at 8 (BTW my alarm is Jason Mraz :-) ), I was already cranky. Then I remembered I was supposed to look at movie times to see if Lil Lauren and I could make it to a 3:00 movie after my pro-trainer meeting (which will be no fun and kind of a waste of time). But OF COURSE all the movies start at 2 or 4, which is too early or too late. So then I turned on my TV, thinking that a little VH1 Jump Start or CMT video jam would make me feel better. But there were no good songs playing, AT ALL. I was very frusterated and by that time I just didn't want to do anything. And my room is a COMPLETE mess because I've been out of town for the past two weekends, and I haven't had time to clean it. On top of that, it's sunny outside. The weather is supposed to be rainy and dark. Is it too much to ask to get a little of the rain promised to us? IS IT?! RAWR!
