work

work is work, but it's kinda fun when you get to have theological and scientific discussions with your coworker when you're supposed to be working.
and I get paid holidays.
so it's good. :)
percy jackson: sea of monsters is in theaters, so a friend of mine and I are going to see it.

this friend and I have been discussing personality types and introversion and stuff based on the Briggs-Meyer tests.
when I told her what my type supposedly is she agreed with me, and, when I said I didn't think I knew anyone with me time, she informed me I wouldn't get along with my type anyway. She pointed out that her cousin is the same type.
her cousin doesn't give me the "we'll hit it off great" vibe and we wouldn't get along, yes, I did tell her so.
She said she knows we wouldn't in her words, "you both have walls around your inner world and they would collide and no further progress would be made. it would take a herculean effort for the two of you  to hold a conversation without help. You're the same kind of introvert."
upon explaining this to my mother it has become necessary to explain that there seem to be different kinds of introverts.
unless you're familiar with briggs-meyer it would be pointless to explain, and if you are, it would still be pointless because you already know.
but there's two types of introverts, those like you, and those not like you.
and one of them I can hold a conversation with and other one i'm still working on. :P

life

friday one of my friends came over to spend the night. that was lots of fun. of course it was fun, we had a giant bag of peanut butter m&ms. with enough sugar, anything is fun.
Unlike most sleepovers, I didn't stay up late, she did, sorta. we had the laptop on the bed with us and we were supposed to be watching snow white and the huntsman, but mostly it was just she was watching it and I went to sleep. She shut it off half way through though and we finished it in the morning.
she also cracked my back for me, which was like, heavenly.
She took me to mass with her (she's catholic, i'm not) which was interesting to say the least. I can't say I don't enjoy the tradition of it. i can say, WHAT IS GOING ON????? cause I was lost most of the time.

work has been going well. I enjoy hanging out with my coworker, she's cool. kinda like a cross between anne of green gabbles and a librarian. and she can draw. she's cool. and really funny when it comes the the mormon boys to who come in to work out.
The radio in the kids room is kinda old. it doesn't read half the songs on the CDs. so we all have to listen to the same six song over and over again. it's sad. :P

my brother didn't pass one of his tests. now he won't be home when he was scheduled to be back. -.- i'm not happy bob, not happy.

there's termination dust on the tops of the mountains. fall is here and winter is coming soon.

breakfast

life got pretty busy lately. God is so gracious. I've been trying to find a job, pretty much any job since I started college, to pay for it. I applied for a cleaning job at a local gym, even though I really didn't want to. bleh. cleaning. Not only did I get a job there, but I got child care which I immensely prefer over cleaning.
Not just one job, but two.
I was offered a job at a local stable, as a feeder, their policy is not to hire anyone under 18, but they made an exception for me. I did not even apply or interview, but the manager offered me the job, thanks to my mom and brothers working there. ;)
Then there is school. I took Introductory Sociology on Monday and passed the CLEP with a 51. it was a difficult test for me, and I've been studying nearly every day for several months. I was tired and I think that played into it.
This last week, if I'm not working I'm sleeping or chilling, I got permission from my coach to take the week off from school cause I've earned it; but I get up and go to work, I haven't even given myself time to eat breakfast, which I don't really mind, I'm not really a breakfast person anyway.
but today is Saturday, and I got to sleep in late. and eat an enormous, leisurely breakfast, without having to worry about being late which did two things.
One, it made me appreciate the weekend more, and work.
Two, it also made me appreciate my Mom more. Due to my own lack of interest in driving, I'm still learning, so mom has to take me or accompany  me places, every week day, and on the weekends, she has to be at her own job early in the morning. She also has to pick me up from my job in the evening, which means she never gets to sleep in and doesn't get to bed early. She is like, supermom. and she's mind. you can't have her.
and she let me pierce a third set of rings in my ears.

swimming

went swimming yesterday, got sunburned.
my friend and I decided to take the canoe out, which really, i probably shouldn't be trusted with a canoe at all considering how clumsy I am.
my little brother and his friend decided to ram our canoe with theirs and then tip us into the water.
all well and fine until it completely capsized and I was stuck under it.
you know, the sun on the surface of the water above you is really enchanting. to look at.
until it hits you and you panic and manage to get up and then almost sink the boat in a scramble to hold onto something.
I really hate pond weeds, especially when they get tangled around your legs. bleh.
swimming, diving and boating are all fantastically fun which goes against my fear of water. -.-

fun

well, I'm not allowed to ride my brother's "deathtrap" dirtbike.
but I have successfully bartered school for going to the lake for the day tomorrow.

fun times.

school

I had a degree consultation today and got to choose my electives.
that makes me happy.
I get to study substance abuse, criminal justice, and intro to law enforcement.
why that excites me I don't know. it just does.

a poem an epic friend wrote for me.

She holds her head high
She overcomes allShe touches the skyThough she's not that tall

She watches the weakShe guards the poorShe listens when you speakShe'll welcome you at the door

She is a true friendShe is a great ladyHer loyalty does not bendShe's sweet and not crazy

hi

I need to talk to priscilla sometime soon. :P
we haven't talked in forever...

winter

it's snowing here, right now.
it's very very sad.
winter is supposed to be gone by now, but instead there is more snow...
always winter and never Christmas.
it's very sad. and cold. and sad.
did I mention it was sad?
go home winter, you're drunk.
sincerely,
a dejected spring
