Life has been wonderful lately. Busy, but wonderful.
My job is hard and stressful, but they really like me. I think I am going to turn down any offers to continue working there after my 90 days though. It’s not that I don’t like the job, I just don’t like having so many bosses who can’t stand each other. And when they decide not to talk I get told to do three different things from three different bosses and they all want it done at the same time. And the hours, not great, not even nice. I just wish I didn’t have to leave all my coworkers, I’ve made some good friends, and there are days when I enjoy working there. But sadly the bad outweighs the good too often. This isn’t a final decision, just a possible reality. Of course I will have to get another job first. I’m going to look at the jewelry stores in the mall. I love working with jewelry, and I’m really good with it.
Then my sister finally has her surgery scheduled for the 21st of this month, so that’s next Friday. I’m looking at it as positive, a chance for her to be normal again. She has pushed away all chances of friendship because she is so self conscious of the way she looks now. She isn’t the teeny little twig she used to be and that bothers her, even if she does look better now then before.
And since Destrey got back from his trip we have gotten much closer. I have gone over to his house, which was awkward but a nice change. Then he came over to my house for dinner on Sunday, which was fun. That is a huge step for me, none of my past boyfriends have met my parents. Actually, no boy my age has ever been in any house I’ve lived in. But like I said, it was nice, I hope we aren’t completely doomed when I go off to college. I’m hoping we can last that year until he graduates and we can make something work from there; we probably will.
Oh, and then there is PROM! And SENIOR TRIP! I already have a dress I like, it is probably extremely expensive but I want to do something crazy and fun for once, especially if I have to suffer through dancing. I honestly can’t dance to save my life! I’m thinking I will need about $500 for prom, and with a job hopefully I can get there. And thankfully when I got my test scores back they were in the top percentage so I get 2 free prom tickets, which are worth $50!
Then there is SENIOR TRIP to Chicago! I’m going, no matter what! I’ve never really been in a huge city like that, and I probably never will if I don’t go this year. It is going to be $320 for three days, room, food, transportation, and activities included. That is an amazing deal! Plus I get to go with all my friends and it is during school, you can’t beat that!
As for school, well, not wonderful. My grades need a little improvement because of the hours I work I don’t have time for homework. But they will be better by the end of the trimester, I’m sure of it. And hopefully come next trimester I will have a class with Destrey!
College searching is done. I’ve definitely got my heart set on Prescott. I’ve already done the application and I’m about halfway through the essay. Today I actually got an email from Prescott about scholarships. Two of them I qualify for, and together they would pay for all 4 years!
So yeah, life is good…
