Student Life...Again

So I'm back in the full swing of work, school and dance. I don't want to be here, I want to go home and back to my real job. Don't get me wrong, working at the bar makes it VERY hard to go back to a 9-5. When you make enough money to go home for the month in 3 days, it's hard to say no, but it screws up my sleep habits, and makes it hard to talk to Cam.

Hanna gave the compound a little scare, but it turned out to be just like a thunder storm. It was kinda amusing for me from here, the phone calls I mean. Mammacita was worried and didn't know what to expect or to buy. Daddy-o is out on the boat so he can't really give anything but moral support, about the same as me right now....
I was so worried about them, the area is NOT suited for a hurricane of any magnitude to come ashore.

Gustav just gave me alot of rain, and now we've turned our sights to Ike. I'm half hearted about what I want him to do. I don't want this area to get hit by another bad storm, but at the same time I would like the Katrina effects to happen. a friend of mine was at Tulane when Katrina hit and he got to pick the school he went to until they were allowed back. That's what I would like to happen, then I can transfer to school in Va with no problems. And go back to my life.....But in the same instance, I don't want anyone to get hurt or lose thier home. I guess I just want the river to rise and flood school so bad that was can't come back....does that sound horrible?

Remeber Me?

So it's been a VERY long time since I've written. But there has been SO much going on. Two weekends ago the Compound went go karting and had a field day. After that was Daddy-O and my going away party....total bummer. We all got drunk, including me, and laughed at the olympics and discussed the finer points of watching some whsip of a woman run FOREVER and how she looks so tiny and unhealthy but none of us could run that long that fast unless something serious was chasing us. Bravo to all those runners out there, as I am by far not one.
My last week of work was stressful and sad. I was trying to get everything up and running before I left and BARELY accomplished it. I got the store up on wednesday, my last day was thursday....and everything else was going fine.
Last weekend Cam and I went to DC. We just went up for a night and saw a few monuments and went to some of the museums. We saw what we wanted, skipped a lot and had a great time just being together and being out in DC walking around enjoying one another.
I was going to leave Sunday night, but I looked at the weather after we all had a FEAST of chinese and had Fay going trough Atlanta, and what I thought would be flooding the Jacksonville (JAX). So I got up with Cam on Monday and left at 6am. It was hard and I cried all the way to South Carolina. It was SUPER hard not to turn around and go home everytime that I stopped for gas or something.
The trip was a catastrophe itself. My phone died before I was out of Va, my cat pottied in her carrier, and I forgot my GPS and sunglasses. Not to mention that I just really didn't want to come.
When I got here finally, at 11, I just rinsed Reese off, took a shower and crashed. Got up at 5am the next morning and went to class. That afternoon I walked back into my old job at the bar and I haven't stopped since.
I've worked everynight since wednesday and I've gone to all my classes and almost finished all my homework that isn't due for 2 weeks.
Monday we don't have school, wednesdday I don't have lab, so I'm going to go put in applications around town to hopefully get a job that will help with what I want to do in life. I might keep the bar job so I'll always be able to go home whenever I want.
I really miss Cam and Sienna. I have never been this homesick in my life, I hope it will pass and in the next few weeks I'll get in the hang of getting things done here that I need to. But Cam sometimes says things that make me worry, I hope it's just the homesickness that's making me stress about every little thing. And it doesn't help that I have trust issues that I'm having to get over the hard way right now...
It looks like this is going to go from a once or twice a day blog to a once or twice a week blog. So it you read regularly (is there anyone?) don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I need the outlet for all my off base thoughts, and to lay out stresses that are stupid and pointless.

Still More Catching Up

Yesterday was uneventful. We got home delivery up and running and so I spent most of my afternoon working on getting inventory into the online catalogue.

Today the website was down, so I spent all of my day today on the phone trying to fix that. Today was uneventful.

I came home took the puppy to Auntie Kay's so she could play, and we could catch up. The I fixed dinner, and watched the Secret Life of the American Teen. Great show, hits on TONS of hot topics. And then more Olympics. Michael Phelps is AMAZING. I'm a HUGE fan of Natalie Coghlin though. I would have loved for my splits to have been half that good when I was swimming. And Nastia Luiken is amazing too she had such a bad landing on her parallel uneven bars the other night, but I'm sure the whole team can come back. They all seemed to have a rough time except Shawn Johnson.

So I'm about to be off to bed, I've caught up from Thursday to today, so I think I'm done with my blog for now. I'll have to not slack off and update it on a regular basis.....

Yet More Catching Up

So Saturday found me at work, exhausted, and everyone else in bed. Nothing really eventful happened at work except my scary run in with determined clients.

Cliff Notes Version:
So we close at 12 on Saturday. A client called at 28 till and wanted to know if a friend could pick up his dogs. I told him not a problem just be there before 12 because we close AT 12. He wanted to know about picking up on Sunday, I told him not possible either by 12 today, or wait till Monday. He asked about his friend picking up at 12:15, told him no one will be there, we close at 12. 11:45 came and we closed out, and at 11:58 everyone except me and one other girl were gone. 12:00 came and I locked the door and went upstairs to do back up. I had to reboot the server so it took at 15 min to get everything done. I walked back down stairs, looked out a window and then out the front door and saw a car but no person. I looked back out the previously empty window and there was someone looking back at me. Scared me to death. I went into an exam room because I didn't know the guy that was looking in the back door's window and standing between me and my car.

I called my manager and she said just wait about 5 or 10 min and they should leave. So I wait, and ANOTHER car pulls up. It was the owner. They start messing with the number punch lock on the back door and make me really nervous, so I'm now in the office very nervous. They knock on all the doors and tap on all the windows, call 3 or 4 times, and are there about 20 min trying to get into the building after they were told that no one would be there. After about 4 calls to my manager, they leave and I walk out and get into my car. So freaked out I forget to clock out.

I get home, and then we go to the beach and have a cook out. I came home early and watched the Olympics.

Sunday we spent on the couch because it rained. We just watched the Olympics and chilled.

Still Catching Up...

After my espresso induced coma, I slept in most of the day then did my little bit of house work and started dinner. We had the mayor and K-roo over for dinner.

We had pot roast, veggies, salad, broccoli rice and biscuits. It was SOO good. THEN to top it all off the mayor brought over Strawberry topped Cheese Cake.

After dinner Cam ran off to Bill's house warming party and I dropped the puppy off at Auntie Kay's for a play date with Cozy. Then K-Roo and I headed off to the mall to catch a movie and get Das Boot for Cam. We went to see "Step Brothers" (shh don't tell Cam) it was SOO FUNNY!! We got home about midnight and I crashed. It was a fun, but chill day.
