Cleverness is Escaping me at the Moment

So I feel the need to update the people who don't read this on what's been going on in my life.

I'm fairly certain that I got said job from previous post! They called me and told me that they were interested in me, and they told me they were going to check my references. Well one of my references emailed me and told me they had been contacted, and sure enough, a few days ago I received an email from my potential future place of employment that contained the release form so they can run my background check! And as long as that goes through well (like it wouldn't) then I get hired! YAY!

In other news, Christmas this year was very different in the Dozier house. We didn't do presents this year. And when I say we didn't do presents, I mean it. Nothing at all. Which was good on the nerves, rather than stressing about shopping and money. But it was bittersweet all the same. This was my last Christmas at home, un-married, and as a Dozier. But I'm sure next year will be fun. It'll certainly be different!

It still hasn't hit me that I'm done with college. I have, however, been experiencing nightmares that involve, but are not limited to:

• Me having to go back to elementary school because I didn't complete something, and they won't let me graduate college til I do. No one will talk to me, or sit next to me at lunch, and the teacher won't let me go to my car.

• I miss exams, and it's in a really dumb class, and it keeps me there another semester, and keeps me from graduating.

• It's move out day in the dorms, and I haven't packed a single thing, I can't find my roommate to help me, people are moving into my room that same day, and they start moving in on top of my unpacked things, and i wind up losing most of my things.

But at least my dreams are interesting.

Other than that, not much has been going on. I've rediscovered my love for reading, and I've been devouring books like it's going out of style. I stayed up til 3am the other day just to finish one of the books! Crazy, I know, lol.

I hope everyone had a marvelous Christmas, and I hope ya'll have a very happy New Year :)

"Really Bad Eggs"

So I saw Pirates 3 tonight. I didn't care much for it. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the first two, but this one not so much. It was REALLY long and drawn out. I love a great plot, and this one kinda fell apart. I enjoy good action scenes, but these were way too long, and I actually found myself being bored with them. Would I see it again given the chance? No.

Also, I have something to vent a little about. If your children are still in diapers, they shouldn't be at a PG-13 movie that ends close to 11pm. Furthermore, if your children cannot read, they should not be in said place. Infants and small children have no business being out that late and going to a movie that is that violent, and "scary." If you feel this is acceptable, good for you. We will have to agree to disagree on this subject. This is just something that grates on my nerves. It's kinda like letting a 12 year old into a club and letting them drink a little. At least it is to me.

Alright, onto happier things!

Bonnie and i totally CRUSHED this guy's ego tonight. He's in this saturn with 2 girls, and we are in this huge Hemi. He wants to be all big and bad at the stop light, looking at us like we were a cheap peice of meat. Bonnie smoked him outta the light...while blasting the speakers. Said guy decided to weave in front of us every time we switched lanes...we faked them out by getting in the turn lane long enough that he turned...and we kept going straight. Ha ha. It was awesome.

That's pretty much is for an update from me. Still in search of a job, but it happens.

A Body's Revenge

Ok, so I did yard work yesterday. Not too bad...but the whole day yesterday was kinda crappy. It all began when I woke up.

So I woke up with this horrid feeling in my nasal cavity, like I had a small watermelon stuck in there. So, like a normal person, I went to blow my nose. Good idea, right? NO. Instead of the normal things that come out of one's nose, I got a kleenex full of blood. Wonderful. Just what I wanted. So after about 5 minutes of trying to get the beeding controlled, I'm able to go about normaler things in my life.

So I took a shower, and then Dad decided it was yard work time. I figured it couldn't be too bad...despite the fact that I had already sneezed somewhere into the double digits by then. (note: mowing while your sinuses already hate you...NOT a smart idea.)

It was cold outside, which I was partially thankful for, so I was wearing longsleeves while I mowed, however i still got grass all over me. Hello shower #2 of the day.

Then we had to go to church. No big. It's cool and totally normal for a Wednesday night. So I get to church, and we are getting ready to eat, and some of the ladies were talking about how they, or others they knew have had this apparent stomach bug that is going around. Now for normal people, that information wouldn't freak anyone out, but for little Miss OCD me, it scared the living daylights outta me (Sad, I know, but my biggest fear is throwing up, and my kryptonite is an unhappy stomach, not to mention my OCD is germ induced).

Well, the rest of church went well, despite all the sneezing that continued. I finally get home, get to bed, and then we come to this morning.

Gee, this morning, that nasal cavity watermelon feeling was back...and so was the blood. Lovely...just beautiful. So today i feel about 3 times worse than yesterday, my nose is runny AND stuffy, and my head feels like I've got an angry rock band in it. I'm ready to feel better.

I don't enjoy being sick, but I'll get over it. I have a tendency to get whiney when I'm sick, if you haven't noticed. Blah.

If anything else interesting happens, I'll let you know.

By the way, sitill haven't heard from the animal shelter :(

Sometimes Life Enjoys Punching You in the Stomach

Sooo....I am no longer employed...yeah. Someone else applied who was older, single, and out of college, and she can work full time year round. So since I was the last one hired, I'm the first one let go...they are letting another girl go too. I had this job for a whopping week....ONE WEEK. Not ok. I've got bills and gas to pay for, and last time I checked, good looks won't buy you either.

I applied at Jersey Mike's (no I don't want to work in food, but hey, money is money.), and I stopped by one of the Veterinary offices, of which didn't need any help. Last move of desperation today...Called the Animal Shelter. I really love the Animal Shelter. That's where I got my incredible Kittie from. I figured it would be too good to be true that they would be hiring. I called anyways...they told me they WERE hiring! It's a cleaning position, but hey, it can't be near as bad as cleaning up cow poo. Seriously. So I rushed over there, filled out my application, and apparently I'm the only one that has applied thus far!!! It's looking pretty good that I'm going to get the job!

Today hasn't been the greatest, but i know, God still loves me, and He knows what's going on.

OH! Dad decided not to do yard work today :)

"It's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball..."

So I started my first official day of work, and it went pretty darn well! I'm really gonna like it there, however, the second day didn't go quite as well. My main problem is that I'm scared to death of messing up. I gotta get it through my thick head that I'm not going to master the art of coffeeesque making in one day. I'm determined to make tomorrow a FABULOUS day!

Kat's Wedding, on the other hand, went incredibly! We had so much fun. There was one bad thing that happened though. Michael was following me from Murfreesboro to Lebanon so I could drop my car off instead of having to mess with us having 2 cars going to and from the wedding was NO damage to either of our cars. With as hard as he hit me, there should have been something broken. The only thing that was actually hurt was my neck. I had a slight case of whiplash the next day, but all is well.


(Me, Lacy, Kat (the bride), Brenda, Mandy)

So I've been thinking a lot about my blog lately, and I used to have the mind set that it was mine and I wanted it to be kinda private. But after reading some other peoples blogs, i realize it's really ok for other people to read them and share their opinions and thoughts. I really enjoy it.

"It's a long slow slide"

I'm worried about my dad. He passed out today at church. He didn't eat breakfast either, which is really weird. (He's diabetic.) I don't understand what's going on. Please pray for him.

I've been having HORRENDOUS nightmares recently, involving finals. I woke up around 5:30 Saturday morning thinking I was late for school. I did the same thing around 6:30 this morning. Not ok. And I've been dreaming that I'm missing all of my exams, or that I'm going to the wrong ones on the wrong days. I'll be glad when all this mess is over with.

I get to go to work for the first time tomorrow. I'm kinda excited.

I miss Michael too. I haven't seen him since...Wednesday. i won't get to see him until Thursday. This is crazy.

I also need to find someone to do my hair for Kat's wedding. This is turning out to be a difficult task considering that everyone and their mom seems to be graduating from college that day.

OH! and I was talking to my mom, and she told me that for my college grad invitations that I can have pictures made (kinda like high school senior pics, but cooler) to put in my invites!!!! I told her I had to have them Ag related...and i think I'm gonna have them made with COWS! SO freaking cool!

Ok, that's enough. Have a great DAY!

Can't win for losing

*UPDATE!




So, I think I have a job...

I applied today at Java Joe's (a little coffee shop/eatery in town), and got an interview right away. It was pretty exciting, and it pays $7.50/hr. Not too shabby. It's the most i've ever gotten paid per hour in my life.

So I called and told my dad (he was expecting me to apply at TSC, more about that later.) and he wasn't happy when I told him where I had potentially gotten a job. He wanted me to work at TSC cause of my ag major.

Well, after I got off of the phone (and being very downtrodden because i've been harped on so much for needing to get a job) I went to TSC to apply. They weren't friendly at all, and they weren't hiring. But I submitted my app. anyway.

My dad thinks that because I have an almost completed college education, that I should be getting a job in my field...which, let's be honest, isn't all that easy.

So Dad isn't happy when I don't have a job, and he isn't happy with the one i potentially have.

I just can win for losing.

I just want someone to be proud of me that I went in a place, requested an application, and immediatly got an interview, and an almost immediate "yes" that I got the job.

Time to go back to studying.

*I got the job!!!!

The oozing of my brain

Ugh I hate finals. I've been studying all day. I'm tired of studying. I want to sit around witha chai latte, writing in my journal, and reading books. I really think that I've forgotten how to do things that aren't school related.

i've GOT to find a job this summer. That greatly stresses me.

It was stroming and raining last night. it was great! i wish it was doing it again now.

Ok, so that's all right now.

Relief

So I got to talk to my ex today. It was a very nice conversation, and I am so relieved that we are now friends, and there are no longer negative feelings and the such.

This makes me incredibly happy!

Another thing that makes me happy is that I have all of my graduation forms turned in! Yep, the upper-division form, intent to graduate form, and my substitutions forms are all turned in!! Not having all this done has been bothering me since I began at MTSU.

I've got a test tomorrow, and I've been studying for it, but I'm tired of studying. I don't think that it's going to be as hard as I'm thinking it is. I always over stress about tests.

I found out I got a C in my Micro Comp class...I can either keep that grade, or take the final, and try to raise it...of course if I don't raise it, then my grade goes down. The entire test is on Excel, and I'm aweful at Excel...so i may just keep my C.

I'm not sure if I've already said this or not in a previous post, but I've got to find a summer job, and i'm considering working at TSC (Tractor Supply Co.). I'm just glad I'm not taking summer classes.

So I guess that's it for now. This week is my last full week of classes!!!! So exciting! Now I just have to watch out for finals!
