...no seriously. I suppose it's more like a pain in my ass. I enjoy cooking, but maybe only for my family or a small group of people. Cooking for 25 people is not fun.
We finally bought an oven, which I love. I missed baking so much! Making everything via frying or steaming is not as fun. Tomorrow we will be heading back to Wal-mart early in the morning to pick up a roaster, because the turkey is too big to fit in the oven.
I don't care how many people wal-mart enslaves, they're still awesome in my book.
I can't wait for our next vacation. It starts mid-January and will be about 2 weeks long. Michael and I will actually go somewhere this time. Haven't set our plans in stone or anything yet though.
"I've 20 bathrooms, I can shit all day"
...alright I'm getting delirious it's time for bed. |

So, I need some advice.
About 7 or 8 months ago I ended my friendship with Bruce. I thought it was a good idea at the time. This was right after he quit the team and screwed over his debate partner Sydney. Everyone told me that Bruce was crazy and lied but I never believed them until that happened. Then I started questioning everything he said to me, and started getting really annoyed any time he tried to talk to me. So I started blocking him on aim, gmail, everything possible, and decided I did not want to be friends with him anymore. We ended our friendship via e-mail, and I was not so nice about it.
In hindsight, I'm not sure that I did the right thing. The more I think about it, the more I think I made the wrong decision. I honestly think that my life was super crazy at the time (doing 24 credits in one semester, 2 jobs, debate, 2 honors thesis', and preparing for marriage to name a few). I viewed Bruce as a source of instability, and it was something that I could control so I cut him out of my life. Overall, Bruce was not a bad friend. He was actually a really good friend at times. He helped me out in debate, was there for me through the whole michelle debacle, and was fun to hang out with. Now that my life isn't crazy busy and I have time to think about it, I'm starting to regret my decision. I'm positive that how I ended the friendship really hurt Bruce, and I know I was being selfish about the whole situation. I want to apologize to him, but I'm afraid that he won't care/listen/respond, or whatever.
Is this a mistake I should try to fix, or should I just forget about it? |

So I leave in ONE week, which means that I have 6 days left to hang out with people. I feel like my parents are in total denial of the whole thing. They keep coming with reasons that they think I won't be able to go, and have voiced that they don't think that I will actually make it there. WAKE UP I have bought the tickets I have my visa, all I have to do is finish packing! They haven't even been really talking with me about it, which is really strange considering that I might not see them for 2 years! I suppose that that's just the way they are.
In other news Michael and I are trying to sell our laptops and his desktop... if you know anyone who might be interested lemme know! |

Don't you hate it when you're in class, you make a comment in class, and the teacher's like "Nope you're wrong." ?
That seems to happen to me a lot, because I like to argue with people, even if I don't necessarily mean/agree with what I'm saying.
Contradicting people is fun. |

So it is pretty much solid that me and Michael will be moving to China. I've got 2 job offers from 2 schools, and an interview with Disney (yes disney has an English school, don't ask me why- cause' Chinese people love it I guess :P ). Right now I'm driving myself crazy refreshing my e-mail waiting to hear back from them... even though I just talked to them yesterday.
I can't help it! I'm literally driving myself crazy with this China stuff. It's all I can think about 24/7 and all I want to do is talk about it.
I reallllly want to get the job from disney-- it sounds awesome. I would be teaching little kiddies- like aged 4-8. We would play games and sing songs and what not (typical disney stuff :P) to help them learn English. It's basically the same thing I do now, but instead of teaching Spanish it will be English. The job pays pretty well for in a job in China (fyi currency conversion is 1US $ = 7RMB) and will be located in Shanghai- which would be AWESOME- since shanghai is full of expats from the US, has diverse grocery stores, and lots of things to do! In addition to my pay they also give me an additional stipend to pay for housing. Disney would pay for me to stay in a hotel for 30 days whilst I look for an apartment, which is pretty nice. They're also willing to pay for my tefl (teaching english as a foriegn language) certification, which is so great because it usually costs like 2grand or so to get that done, and I can use it for future jobs. The contract would be for 2 years, and they would pay for my plane ticket and everything which is great too. All in all... I WANT IT NAO!
Michael will ofcourse be coming too... he's thinking about getting his cert. too while he's there so that he can maybe get a teaching job at a local public school or something. If I have to leave before the end of the summer, he might stay here until he finishes his lifegaurding job, so he can make the extra moneys. :)
Seriously I'm going mad... if I'm on my computer I'm researching apartments, stores, etc, in Shanghai... when I try to sleep all I can do is dream about it, and when I talk to anyone all I can do is tell them about it.
I think I'm starting to annoy myself... HA! |

hai 2 u
So it's break now, yay? Not really I have so much work to do, and my break get's cut in half because I have s debate tournament in Virginia that I leave for on Thursday.
BUT!
I got a new bookshelf:
   
I like it a lot! It's bootyfull
and I got a new video card:
So I am pleased with both of those things :). I also re-arranged my room and put my bed on the other side of the room to open it up more. It looks a lot better. I still have a lot of cleaning to do though.
OH! and me and Michael got Brawl yesterday! YES! brawl, which is not supposed to come out until tomorrow. I don't think the dumb kid at micro center realized that when he gave it to us from behind the counter. doh.
That's all for today, imma go do debate work.

herrro, I'm at a debate tournament in Iowa. We just got here and I'm so seepy, even though it's only 10 here :\
I'm kinda nervous about tomorrow because it's the first tournament of the year with a new partner, and I have different speaking positions, and I don't feel as prepared as I should be. Oh, and I'm in varsity this year too...
but other than that this week we had to put sherry to sleep, and it was very sad. Even my dad looked upset about it. I didn't think I would be this upset about her dying, but I am. It hit me a lot harder than I expected.
School has been really busy, taking 18 credits and all, but it's nice because it keeps me from having to think about things. |

Summer's almost over :(. I start school up right after labor day weekend, and I'm totally not prepared for my language classes. I haven't look at spanish for over a year and haven't had anyone to practice it with. Meh, I guess I'll just try to be quiet in the class... even though it is a conversation class :P
Hm, what else?
Oh! Michael will also be starting his first semester this fall, and that's exciting for us. He got placed into Calc 1 and the highest English class, and he doesn't even hae to pay for his first year! I'm very happy for him :B
I'll probably be playing less and less of WoW as I'll be more and more busy as the school year starts up. |

ever have things get akward between you and a friend, and then it's really weird to be around them and talk to them? i hate that, and it's sad that I don't think I could even be good friends with that person anymore. What's worse? I see them in school and will continue to through the rest of next year. It feels weird avoiding them, *sigh*
well, other than that... after this week it's finals... and then I really don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like everything is up in the air at the moment, and I have no plans whatsoever. I feel almost lathargic about getting anything done.
garrrr to annoying things in life! :P |

ugh ever been in one of those moods? I feel so drained, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm so tired, eventhough I had a full 8 hours of sleep. yuck
anyways, schools almost over! in three weeks! ah!
I've decided I'm definitly not going to China this summer again... I haven't really told anyone involved that I'm not going though. There's a lot of pressure for me to go again, they really want/need my help, because they have a lot more people going this year. I can't go though... Tshingua wants 300 dollars, they haven't bought the plane tickets yet (which means the price is going through the roof), and they're making us take a class for it. It's just going to be WAY too expensive this year, and given that they're shortening the trip by a week, I don't think it's worth it.
That leaves me with what AM I going to do this summer.
my dad wants me to get a job/internship, and haven't really been activly looking into that :P lol
I guess I should though, I need to do something.
meh, at least I'll get to have more lan parties this summer by staying home.. HA!
<3 you |
