My Apologies

I have great intentions of blogging but time is not my own.¬† I’m busy with work and school and homework and projects.¬†¬† I have procrastinated all year and am making up for it now.

I had a wonderful birthday and thanksgiving.¬† I can’t wait to go home.

I have six days left at work and six days left of school

I’ll try to write a valuable post later.

Enjoy your day.

The Modern Girl

The modern girl is your average American girl, who has her Ipod, laptop, blow drier, flat iron, curling iron, cell phone… you get the picture. To put it simply she is “plugged-into society.”¬† To this extent I would consider myself a “modern girl.” Unfortunately technology was not one of my favorite things this week.

On Sunday I was getting ready for church, I had already blowdried my hair and had my flat iron plugged in and warming up.¬† When I began to straighten my hair I realized that my straightener was not hot… it wasn’t even warm. In other words, my straightener had died, deceased, kicked the bucked,¬† was no more, passed on, perished, croaked, bereft of life, bought the farm, departed, expired, gone to meet its maker, lifeless, was pushing up daisies, dead.¬† To my horror I only had 15 more minutes before I had to leave for church. By the grace of God I was able to tame my hair into a manageable style.¬† Later that afternoon I purchased a replacement for my recently departed straightener… may it rest in peace.

On Tuesday I had a chapel presentation due.¬† Seeing that people are visual learners I made a PowerPoint display that coincided with the presentation.¬† I have enough technology savvy to know that I should expect the worst, consequently I provided myself with a large space of time to get my presentation up an running.¬† The projector was setup for me in the chapel and all I needed to do was plug in my computer and “have at it”.¬† So what did I do? I plugged in my computer and attempted to get my presentation to show up on the screen.¬† Long story short… it wasn’t working.¬† I returned to the office to ask if anyone knew how to do it… nope.¬† I texted my brothers… “pressed a bunch of keys until it works” or “i don’t know how to help you”¬† were my responses.¬† So I went and found some high schoolers from ACA, we were diagnosing the problem when my computer decided to freak-out.¬† First the mouse froze, then the screen went black.¬† I turned of my computer and restarted it.¬† The computer decided that it didn’t want to work and wouldn’t even make it to the password screen!¬† By this point I told the guys not to worry about it and I would just make my presentation without the PowerPoint.

Later that day….

I had just entered the dorm when I thought I heard my phone ringing.  When I grabbed my phone I realized that it was not ringing but rather had someone talking to me.  Apparently my phone decided to act of its own accord and call my manager on her cell phone.

Still later that day….

By this time I realized that technology was not on my side and that I should expect the worse when I went to work that evening, and technology did not disappoint me.  Soon after I arrived I was informed that certain individuals had ruined some of the night crews privileges.  During the evening while we are on our breaks we are often in the office on the computer playing spider solitaire.  Occasionally when it is ABSOLUTLY DEAD we will play it while we are on the clock, but this circumstance does not happen frequently.  Apparently an individual who usually works nights decided to play on the computer during lunch time and now all of the night crew gets punished for someones lack of thought.

Today is Thursday and so far I have not had any more technology drama, but you never know.  Stay tuned to find out more.

School, Work, Fun

I have realized that I am horrible at keeping this blog updated.¬† I suppose that could be a good thing because it means I’m not addicted to blogging .

So it is mid-terms this week.  I only had three midterms and two projects due.  I think I did okay on all of them.

Work is normal, although my coworkers are going through a tough time.¬† There is a rumor that one of them might have swine flu… yikes!!!!¬† Another one had a roommate commit suicide… please keep her in prayer.

I spent the night over at a friends house last week and had a blast.¬† I learned a very important lesson while I was driving to her house… NEVER… I mean NEVER allow Renae Archer give you directions.¬† This was the second time she got us lost!¬† I should have remembered the first time that we ended up in Oxnard instead of El Matador Beach in Malibu; but there I was giving her the benefit of the doubt that she knew where we were headed.¬† Its wasn’t until we exited that she confessed that she doesn’t quit remember exactly how to get there.¬† As a result we got to explore parts of West Covina.¬† Thankfully I know how to text Google and get directions… we were able to get ourselves back on track and get to the house.

I was so happy when I realized that it was raining on Tuesday and Wednesday.¬† But wouldn’t you know it… its sunny again with tempertures expected to reach 90 degrees today.¬† California weather boggles my mind.

Upside: Good Hair Day

Tuesday was a great day for me… ok I’m being sarcastic.¬† It wasn’t one of my good days.¬† Here is one example of my day.¬†¬†¬† I had left for work early and was almost to subway when I realized that I had left my hat, apron, and nametag at the dorm.¬† Consequently I had to drive all the way back to the dorm to get them.¬† Thankfully I still made it to work on time.

This was just one event in a very long day.¬† I finally decided that I shouldn’t consider all the bad things in my day and that I should find an upside.¬† I concluded that I wasn’t having a bad hair day.

Ordered to Post

I am at James and Renae’s and Renae has ordered me to update my blog so here I go.

Nothing entirely major has happened lately, just a bunch of random things so here is a random post.

Customers are interesting.

There is this one elderly gentleman that comes in early in the morning to get a bowl of soup.¬† He will only eat chicken noodle or minestrone.¬† When he comes in and we are serving Chipotle Chicken Corn Chowder or Broccoli Cheese he begins to lecture us about how nobody likes those soups and that he needs lots vegetables to keep himself alive.¬† He doesn’t understand first of all, people love those soups more than chicken noodle and second, that we have to rotate through our soups.¬† What makes him even more interesting – and somewhat scary is that this man needs a walker to get around.¬† Okay, so that walker doesn’t sound scary…. but the man drives a car!!¬† Seriously… if the guy has to us a walker should he really be driving?

I was very studious the other day while I was avoiding my homework.¬† I know this sounds like an oxymoron…. but its true.¬† I took a ton of classes for subway university.¬† I have now finished 22 classes… I’m not sure how many more I have to do before I graduate.

I have taken Hannah to the ER allot recently.¬† I think I’m getting used to this idea of staying up all night, well, that is until i get to class the next morning.¬† I did fine in class on Thursday, but I was pinching myself all through chapel in order to stay awake.¬† Thankfully I have never fallen asleep during class or chapel during my college career… yet.

I have a dilemma for next Friday night.¬† PBC is going bowling then to coldstones.¬† LBC is going to boomers.¬† Bowling and ice cream is “free” cause I paid the activity fee… boomers’ isn’t free.¬† Either way I will be making some of my friends mad… maybe i should ditch both that way I don’t have to decide

Hmmm, I’m not sure what other random information I should post.¬† If I think of anymore I will post it later.
