okay so eventful day already but i will try to just give the shorthand version
no heat in my car so that means no defrost so that means can't see
been driving it that way for like a week, was planning to have roman fix it today, ordered the part and everything
had to work at 9:45 this morning... left in my car i could see okay but not the greatest
got a little further on byron center and it was total white out and my windsheild and windows were icing over, it was really hard to see, i pulled over in the furthest lane and just sat there with my hazards on.
didn't know what to do but i knew i wasn't going to try to drive because the last time i drove in the wind blowing white out conditions i promised myself i would never do it again. i told my self i would sit there all day until a tow truck came and got me if i had to.
i drove a little bit further and pulled off the road on the side. i sat in my car with no heat for TWO AND A HALF HOURS.
MY BEST FRIEND EVER JESSIE HAZEN and he GREAT FIANCE RYAN came and got me because they are the greatest. they can vouch for me that the conditions were HORRIFIC!!!! when jess got out of the car 5 feet in front of me i oculdn't even tell if it was ryan or jess. that's how bad visibilaty was!
so ryan drove my car to the nearest parking lot and me and jess drove ryans car in front and jess bought me hand warmers cuz she's a sweetie so i could defrost my toes a little. lol i'm SO COLD still and this was like an hour ago
oh yeah and i called into work and this poor girl had to cover for me because fucking midnite sun and cruise is retarted and they dont give a SHIT about their employees and whether they are going to die or not. no one should be driving today! but they dont care. they need to keep their tanning salon open for the 2 customers that might come in today.
lastly... roman just called me and was lkike shouting in the background and stuff it really scared me but he told me a girls car flipped overr and there are tons of cars - at least 20 all collided and flipped and 2 semis smashed into each other and the girl's dog is in romans car right now because her's is flipped over. but he is okay but tons of other people aren't
okay, NOT that i am glad people got in accidents, i would never want that and that really sucks but how come i never get to see the neat stuff like that. i mean it's not neat, it's just kind of interesting to see i guess. rroman sees people flip their cars and stuff all the time, i have never seen it. lol i know that sounds really bad but i still think it'd be .... i can't think of the word ot use that would be okay but yeah...
anyway, i hate michigan winters and i can't wait to move out of this state.
The only role I can stand Julia Roberts in seems to be Tinkerbell in Hook. She's not grumpy, at some points she's smiling and moving her arms. She has a different look on her face than that same look she has in every other movie she's in.
I have to choose, for tomorrow, the dance I want to teach for my Folk and Square Dance class.
I have it narrowed down to five dances. I am going to sign up to teach Easy Come Easy Go (a line dance, which everyone but Ashley and I love) but I have the four backups just in case.
I've decided that dancing is my hobby. It's so much fun, I'm going to have to find classes or something once this class is over.
why am i still awake? i feel really weird..................................
i'm watching like the dumbest show ever. and i dont want to go to work tomorrow. and i feel sick.
this lady started crying...a client that comes in all the time at work the other day. she like started crying and i felt so bad for her and i'm just like um you want a hug.... i felt really bad awwwwwwwww
I want to go on a vacation this year with Nick so I was looking at train rides yesterday.
Nick and I were thinking of going to Seattle/San Fran/Portland/west coast. Is anything awesome happening anywhere in June or July? I just remembered that I might be working full time in June and July. Okay, anything happening in the Seattle-area in May?
Or does anyone know of anything awesome happening anywhere in May?
I made Nick drive me all the way to work before thinking that possibly the school was closed. We pulled into the parking lot and I thought: where are all the cars? I called the weather hotline and then Campus Safety who confirmed that "all functions and classes are canceled today" means that all offices are closed too.
And then we realized that our account was overdrafted making us literally poor. My paycheck on Friday, instead of going to food for the next two weeks, will go to paying off all the account fees. And Nick's paycheck will all go to rent, still making us very, very poor for two weeks. And we'd just gotten all caught up. It was ridiculous because none of these charges showed up until yesterday when all of them took place a week ago.
I HATE MY JOB BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES WHATSOEVER. I JUST WORKED UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME IN THIS AWFUL HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WEATHER. i swear to you people, you could NOT see a THING not a thing@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just pure white that's all you can see. it was the scariest thing ever i'm not kidding. i called roman and he didn't have his phone, i called jess, and i then i called my mom and woke her up i was crying saying i dont know what to do i dont know what to do becaue you couldn't even tell if you were on the road or driving into someoen's front yard seirously!!! you cludln't see anything and traffic lights were out and omg
taht seriulsy i think wwas the scariest thing i have ever done. ahhhh thanks mom for hleping me get home lol
It is my birthday. I am 21 years old. This is exciting. I will officially be 21 at 8:25 Chicago time.
I went ice skating for the first time ever on Saturday and it was the most fun I've had in a long time. I was so happy and just smiling the entire time. The skates hurt my feet a lot though and now I have two really gross looking blisters on my ankles. They hurt a little. I have decided that I am going to join an ice skating nomad colony and ice skate for the rest of my days.
I am writing this all on the Wii using a USB keyboard. Jason, you should submit Eddie Izzard to the Check Mii Out channel.
Happy birthday to me! I kind of feel like celebrating with a drink but I have class at 11 and I'm not really thirsty.
I uploaded what could be called "a shit ton" of photos on flickr the other day but none of them are labeled or anything. If you want to see my unnamed photos go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlewindow/
I don't know how many of y'all are going to be in town but on Saturday we're going ice skating. I don't know what time or anything yet. On Sunday I want to go sledding or tubing or something but at Pando or wherever it's expensive so I might just get a sled and find a hill somewhere. I want to try to go out at midnight but all you school kids will probably be gone and I'll have a hard time finding a place anyway.
so i actually feel like i can be a nurse. i'm liking my classes better and understanding stuff. because the program is so new and my school is so small, i have my classes with basically all the same 30 people because that is how many people got accepted into the program. i'm realkzing that i am just as smart as these people and they are struggling in areas just like i was/am. so yay.
we dont get to disect cadavers. we only get to disect cats but oh well. i guess we can learn more because we can disect them more where as with cadavers-because so many people have to use them and they have to last a whole year, you can only do a little.
i can't type well beause i have fake nails on. i haven't got my naisl done in like 2 years but i really wanted to last week so i got acrylilics on. just a frech manicure. not like i sued to get.
roman and i are doing so well. when we first moved in together we had this period of like 2 months where we fought really bad like we'd be fine and then fight fine and then fight but we have really gotten over that ---well i mean, obviously since that was a long time ago but my point is ...we hve just grown from it all and i'm really happy.
we are probably going to florida to visit his gramma and have soem fun for our spring breaks. the bad part is that are spring breaks aren't at the same time and so i might not be able to ugugghghgh but that would really suck because my birthday is during his spring breeak so if he went and i didn't i'd be all alone on my bday.
i can't believe i'm gonna be 20 ..that seems so old! weird.
roman and i were talking about the wedding which was supposed to be in may 2009 but the more we talked about it. the more we thought it would be a smart idea to just wait until we were done with college completely.
I have noticed that the feeling I get from drinking is the same feeling I get with really bad cramps except the pain is social awesomeness and laughter.
My Folk and Square Dance class is getting increasingly more awesome. My leg hurt after the first day but it was fine by the second. We learned the Hukilau and a couple line dances.
Dancing is my kind of exercise.
I have decided that I really don't want children for a while. I'm even okay with not getting married for a while.
I am beginning to freak out about graduating in a year because it turns out, I will graduate on time.
I drank a bit on Saturday. It was fun. I am so excited for my birthday. Seriously. It'll be keen.
I have to think up a topic for a paper for my EU class. I want to do it on Hungary but they were talking about not doubling up and choosing countries out of a hat... I just want to write it on Hungary.
I am taking a Folk and Square Dance course that is designed for Health and Physical EDUCATION majors. Ashley and I are the only non-athletic people in that class.
Instead of an exam, we have to draw up a lesson plan and teach a dance move that should take about twenty minutes. I was thinking about teaching the hobo dance and making something up or doing the jitterbug or belly dancing but I decided not to.
Instead, I am going to teach the Charleston. I don't know how to do it but I've always wanted to learn. I figure that if I have to teach people, I'll learn it far better than I ever would on my own.
In other news, I am thinking of not working this semester. I have a lot of classes and a lot of work to do. We shall see. I might just cut down to nine hours of work.
I had two classes today and I have four tomorrow. My final class tomorrow is what I politely refer to as a semester-long quad. It's a semester-long course that starts at 6:30 and ends at 9:30. Woo.
On the bright side, my French class that I had today is canceled for the rest of this week and the Monday of next week. Also, tomorrow is the first day of my Folk and Square Dance class. Hopefully it will be just fun and not just work.
Here's to an awesome semester!
Also, all of you need to come home on the weekend of January 25 so we can celebrate my big two-one. I am contemplating partying Monday night too and just skipping my 9:25 class. We shall see.
I saw my Dentist drinking pop yesterday. It made me giggle on the inside.
My Birthday in 3 days! I'll no longer be a 'teen' and that feels really weird to me.
Welcome 2008! I sadly worked during New Years eve, so I ddnt even get to sit home and watch the ball drop, let alone be out with friends. =(
Damn Meijer Nazis.
On another note, I heard Vitamin C's "Graduation" while working the other day. I admit it brought on a couple tears.
EDIT: Haha! Gotta love Wee-man dude. This was posted on his myspace blog yesterday.
