Updates etc.

Well, I haven't written in awhile so here are some updates....for anyone who cares...Mostly for me so maybe I will not forget my life someday.

• Since I mentioned my other sister getting married I should mention that my sister Jenny got married too on September 25th. It was also an outdoor wedding but up at Julia's house and it was surprisingly cold? I also doubled as the photographer and would love to do weddings if I had a nice camera!
• Guard season ended! Yay more free time but I will miss my girls.
• I decided to take next semester off from school mostly for my sanity but also for financial reasons!
  
• I turn 23 in 9 days! Halloween in 17!
• Here's some pics:

Annoyances ( I need to release my negativity)

I am not sure why but I have a few issues with things that go on in the world. This isn't a preachy post about oil spills, the recession or something that complaining will definitely do nothing about. This is a post about things that annoy me based on the lack of common sense of people etc.

From someone who doesn't really have something to complain about, I have a lot to complain about.

-People with children who are poorly behaved and run into me. Then, said people just smile at them like it is okay/cute.....This is specifically a problem at Wal-Mart. Speaking of Wal-Mart.....

-Wal-Mart -- Ugh, what is the deal? The aisles are too small or something. There are always 9 people where I need to be and two lanes open with 500 people waiting in line. Also, I know this isn't Wal-Mart's personal problem but the person in front of me in line always has a cart full of the entire grocery section.....Just sayin'.

-"Hippies" -- I'm not talking about my parent's generation of free love and prairie skirts. I'm talking about kids I went to high school with/kids from high income areas who decided to become dirty in college, complain about the environment and then hop into their expensive car daddy bought them that spews exhaust into the air. If you really were into environmental protection you would ride your bike everywhere........seriously. You probably don't even own a bike..........

-Speaking of rich kids.....-- I didn't grow up in a shack in the middle of Disgustingville, USA where I had to run from gang violence or anything either but come on, kids. I enjoyed an interestingly easy life as a kid and teenager but after high school I faced the harsh reality that we had to move out of our big house into a shoebox and I had to buy my own car....yikes. Since then I have become extremely disturbed about how people spend "their" money. I'm not mad that people have parents who will pay for things while they are in college because if I am financially able when I am older, I will probably help my kids out (maybe). What bugs me is that after their parents pay their bills, rent, car insurance, buy groceries, pay tuition and then throw them a few bucks in for kicks they still complain about not having money...........while they are nursing a hangover after blowing their minimum wage "extra" money last night at the bars over a grand slam at Denny's........Speaking of drinking...................

-People who drink to be cool? Yeah, you. You're a tool. If you are going to drink, do it because you want to, not because you want to be "cool." Idiot.....

-Boys who think I'm an idiot. Yeah, good luck with that....And if you are being mean because you "like me," once again.......good luck with that.

-Stupid girls. Different than me being an "idiot". I'm talking about girls of the get drunk-sleep around-skirt tucked in underwear-hot mess variety. I am not an extreme feminist or anything but, holy moly.....get it together. You are embarrassing me.

-Traffic. We all know about this.

and lastly.....

-Twilight. I'm sorry. I read the books, I saw the movies (well, the first one). I just don't get it.....I really, really don't. Sorry.

END RANT.

Updates

Well, I haven't updated this since January so I thought I would. Nothing too exciting has been happening besides school and work BUT last week was Spring Break. I didn't go anywhere but since this isn't my last chance to have a senior year of college spring break due to my victory lap, I get another chance next year! Nothing monumental happened but I thought I would share what happened:

Saturday-Sunday Mar 6-7th: On Saturday, my mom, sister and I went and visited my Grandma in her new nursing home. My dad came and met us there and we all went to eat lunch. My sister and I went to the mall afterwards once my mom went to work. Later I met Liz @ CGHS for IHSCGA Divisional Finals to watch the guard she teaches in the winter. It was fun to watch lower level guards since I have no idea what they do.

On Sunday, after church, I met Liz and we went to the WGI regional at Ben Davis to see some people perform and it was actually really fun. Oh, and in between Open and World classes we went to Arby's and I got ketchup all over my pants. That was pretty cool.....Later that night Kelly and I sat around.

Monday: I had a Dr.'s appointment (not exciting) then I think my mom and I walked around the mall.....I got bored that night and decided to work on a dance solo I am trying to put together but ran out of ideas as always...I am terrible at writing dance stuff.....

Tuesday: .....I think we went and saw the Blindside at the dollar movies...

Wednesday: St. Patrick's Day. I went to lunch with my parents and lo and behold I got ketchup on my pants again...yesss....Later I went over to Avon and hung out with Meghan and we spun in the park. I'm not too terrible but if I decided to march again I will NOT be spinning weapon. Not only did I find out that my wrist issue from this past summer was not a fluke but it is a definite problem and it hurts pretty much all the time. It was really fun though and it was SUPER nice outside. Later that night I had a meeting thing at Bath and Body Works for a performance review and I got a raise...sweeeet.

Thursday: I have NO idea what I did....

Friday: I have no idea what I did on Friday either....

Saturday: EARRRRRRLY in the morning I had a BBW's meeting to introduce new products which I actually think are kind of fun because you get to see what new stuff is coming out. Then my mom and I went shopping and I came back home and slept all day. Later that night I went to IHSCGA state finals with Kelly and met my sister and her friend at the CG Alumni room and ate free pizza. Free food is great.

Sunday: Came back to IU.....

That's pretty much it!!!

Break

My (late) Christmas break recap:
-After finals week I went home to Greenwood and layed around for a few days and did nothing. No working, no going out, just absolutely nothing and I loved it.

-I worked a few days at Bath and Body Works, one being a 10 hour shift...I have done 10 hour work days in an office but in retail it was awful. I like working there and all but man...

-Christmas stuff...

-Florida! It was fun but a little colder than last year. My sister's wedding was very nice on the beach.

-Once we got back I hung out with some of my friends and did some more laying around. Those are two of my favorite things!

-Came to Bloomington and worked a couple of days so I didn't miss a paycheck. Somehow, when I got switched in payroll in July, my paychecks changed. Let me digress: At the end of a 2 week work period my timesheet goes in to be approved and then the next pay period begins and at the end of this week a paycheck will arrive. However, the paycheck was from the pay period before the 2 week period that I discussed above. Does that make sense? It doesn't make sense to me either but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I had to work at the beginning of January because if I didn't, I would have had no paycheck on January 22nd.

-I went to the movies and spent $20. I saw Youth in Revolt. I liked it but I didn't like spending $20.

The End!
