I am very blessed. I have a boyfriend who loves me (and lets me sleep and makes me bagels with cream cheese and turkey (when I don't feel well and when he thinks it sounds disgusting)) and whom I love. I have a family that despite my coming home from a semester in Europe and immediately moving out, still loves me.
I am blessed because I had two Thanksgivings. And I will have two Christmases.
I talked to one of the new student workers today. His father lost his factory job and his mother lost her greenhouse job. Downsizing. He had Spaghetti O's for Thanksgiving. In his dorm room. He says Christmas doesn't look too great either.
I left work crying.
I've always had a Christmas. I've always had a Thanksgiving. No matter how poor my parents said they were that year. I can't imagine not having one. But this kid did. This kid will.
3 stay strong |

Thanksgiving was ok. worked till 3 then tj and i went home and i made a meal for us. the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and a Ham, since there was only 2 of us i thought a turkey would be way too much. it was a nice thanksgiving i wish i could have went and seen familiy but we started a new tradition so i guess its ok.
not starting school as soon as eailier stated, waitin till spring so we can get our finances in order. but i am enrolled for four years and in $30,000.00 in debt at least for it so there is no turning back...
work still sucks and i am still looking for a new job. got a call earlier this week about a job, so we will see.
in addition to work suckin i think a person who also works there and is a "friend" of mine is trying to get me fired, or at least demoted. she intially told me that i should not go to school, that i should just stay at pondo for the rest of my life like her, then when i told her i was enrolling she got pissed and now doesnt talk to me, is scheduling me shitty hours, and is searching for things to complain about me for and i am getting really sick of it. the worst part of it is that our GM is sittin in her little pocket so everything she says he believes. its amazing i thought this person was my friend and it turns out that its all just fake!! dumbasS!!

I feel like I learn more about faith and feel better about faith in my Arabic class than I ever did in my Theology class.
In my Theology class, I was angry and upset that I was supposed to believe what he said I needed to. That I needed to obey the laws he said existed. Laws and rules I didn't think any god cared about.
In my Arabic class, I feel good about this god that I thought was mean and restrictive. I feel good about the world. Every day we have a religious discussion, even inadvertently.
I guess I'm not doing the Catholic thing anymore? I guess I haven't for a while. I like this God guy. I'm feeling things out but I'm a big fan of this non-denominational thing. I just hate religion so much. We'll see where this goes.

it's 1 am. I have test tomorrow and a bunch of homework i should probably still finish. But i'm not doing ANY of it right now. eek. I can't wait to be home. Home, home, home, home, home. My mom and Brett and sister and Eric. No matter how short the time is. It's been sooooo hectic, stressful, and painful the past few weeks....I just can't wait to RELAX. I know i won't get to do MUCH relaxing....but i guess i've got to take what i can get. :-\
I'm perpetually broke again. ugh. I just can't keep up.....I could probably try harder....but I really would just rather be broke than be so bored because i never spend any money.....
I feel like I haven't been taking enough pictures....we used to take SOOO many....and now we don't anymore. Pictures are such vivid ways to remember.....at least for me.....i love them. I remember everything just looking at a picture.....the day, the mood, the weather, the conversations, the smiles, the people.....just looking at a picture. I can't get enough of them. And i feel like there just aren't ENOUGH pictures. A million stupid little smiles, stupid days or nights that are so meaningless, but looking back, they're some of the best.....stupid days going snowboarding in the park or playing in the snow, or cliffjumping, or girls nights or ANYTHING.........gah. Basically, i need 7 million more pictures than i have.
