New job!

I just got a new job at Ocharley's! I'm excited but I haven't really been able to have a spring break. I've been working allllll week, literally every day, so that kind've sucks. But at least I'll get my training all done at one time and out of the way before next week. School, work, social life, a boyfriend and family... It's all becoming very, VERY hard for me to balance. I just can't wait until summer. Hopefully things will be easier by then. 

Taboo!

Friday was our last day of classes before spring break. Yay! So we played a little taboo which was actually really fun! We should play that game more often. It really opens your mind to think outside of the box in a fun way. Our rough drafts are going to be due on Monday so I should probably get started on mine... It's been a very busy spring break for me so far. A very busy semester too!

The Glass Menagerie

So on Wednesday we watched a movie, the glass menagerie. It was so boring that even Sweeney fell asleep. Haha no it was okay, but the characters are so annoying! I hope people didn't really act like that in the 30s... Well the only characters that were super annoying were Amanda, the mom and Laura, the daughter. But they were the main characters anyway. They're accents were just so irritating and the way that they spoke about things! Like they were crazy. Little miss Laura couldn't even answer the door without pissing her pants, like it was rediculous. She probably acts like that because her mom controls her whe life though so I can see why Laura would have some problems. That movie/play is such a mess! I do think I have a pretty good grasp on the importance of it though. 

One day of class!

Well, since Wednesday was the only day of class, I guess I will be writing about Wednesday. On wednesday, we got into some groups and talked about our rough draft for our papers. My draft was very rough indeed. But I had some pretty good connections to characters in the stories we've read. Of course it could use a little work, but that's what rough drafts are all about! We were supposed to bring in two copies of our rough drafts on friday (today) but snow got in the way. Luckily, Friday wasn't just any other ordinary day, it was Valentine's Day! So I went out with my mom to get her first tattoo (that's right, first tattoo). My best friend's dad is a professional tattoo artist and did my mom's tattoo. Its just some small lettering on her wrist and it looks really good. It says "he loves me" in Italian. It's for my dad. He might not have approved it, but he still loves her and she knows. Even if he can't tell her.

I Have Weird Dreams.

Okay, so last night I closed the restaurant that I work at, and I didn't get out of there until like 11:30 when we close at 10! As soon as I got home, I went straight to sleep. I didn't eat anything or drink anything weird, I just went to sleep. After I fell asleep, I had some crazyyyyy dreams. I had this dream that I was in my bathroom and my sink wouldn't work, so I looked at the pipes under the sink and started taking them apart and Eminem was stuck in there! Like the rapper! It was so weird. He was so small... I was just trying to take apart all of the pipes so I could get him out but I couldn't reach him! He was just stuck way down in there. The next dream I had, my boyfriend cut off someones head and I found it but I didn't want to tell anyone because then he would go to jail. He's not even like a bad person or anything so I don't know why I had this dream... normally my dreams are so realistic that I can't even tell if things have happened in real life or in my dreams. The dreams that I had last night were just so weird and random and they make no sense. I swear, I didn't make any of this up!

Library Scavenger Hunts...

This week in class, on Monday I believe, we had a little scavenger hunt in the library. I mean that was pretty cool, but at the same time its like, what are we, in fifth grade? Yes, it was kind of fun to roam around the library and find things, but honestly, I think us college students are old enough to either find what we need in the library by ourselves or ask a librarian. I do feel kind of bad for the librarian that put this together for us, however, because we were a little rude and rowdy. But what would you expect from college students doing an elementary scavenger hunt in the library? Anyways, it was a pretty fun class, but I think the library scavenger hunt was a little too easy and pointless for a college level class.

First post!

This week, we've read some pretty interesting stories I would say. The last one was actually a pretty controversial topic: abortion! Its pretty cool how we have open discussions about what we read in class though, it's nice to hear the different opinions of my peers. That's not something you get often in a classroom setting because normally everyone just sits and listens to the lecture. Once I go off to VCU and have like 300-400 people in my classes, that's pretty much all I'll be doing I'm assuming. But there's nothing wrong with that, as long as I'm getting my education to get my degree! Sometimes it's nice to have a little fun while doing it, though.
