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.

Summers Over

I just finished registering for classes at PBC.  This is my final year and I am so excited to be graduating in the spring.  This semester I will only be taking 6 classes (13 credit); furthermore I only have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I have also just returned from a two week vacation with my family.  I flew to SF then traveled with my family to Portland OR. for a cousins wedding.  It was really great to spend time with my family and see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, and niece.  The one downside was the trip home…. lets just say that it was crowded.

Now that school is back in session I hope to be blogging more frequently because I have access to the internet more regularly.

Random Ramblings

Grrr. I made great plans for today. It was my day off and I was going to seclude myself at the coffee bean, which has free Wi-Fi, and I was going to spend time on the internet. Checking email, blogging, Subway University, etc., well I made it to coffee bean just fine, ordered my drink and got ready to use my computer. Wouldn’t you know it… my computer decides it does not like the internet today. Oh, it says I’m connected… but nothing is loading. On top of that, I had brought my headphones so that no one would have to listen to all my subway stuff… and my computer won’t admit that I have even plugged them it. Sometimes computers make me want to go crazy.

I rebooted my computer… that didn’t help. Texted my brother… he can’t help until I visit tomorrow. My only solution is to give up, go home, and finish the book I was reading.

Well, seems how I am writing I might as well give a good update about my life. As usual, work keeps be busy. Oh the drama of work! Half the time I can’t help laughing at all of it. Most recently, I heard a rumor that I was trying to get someone fired! I’ll try to tell this story as simple as possible. One morning I was working with two other shift leaders. One of them is usually a closer (like me) and we were commenting how another closing shift lead has become “comfortable” with work. Well somehow, word traveled and the shift leader who we said was “comfortable” heard that me and the other person thought she was “lazy” which then was interpreted, as we want to get her fired! Honestly, I should know better than to say anything like that at work. It doesn’t matter who you work with, whatever you say will be spread through the entire store by the next day. Nothing is ever held in confidence. I guess that comes with working with a bunch of girls.

Life in the dorm is going normal. Hannah and I see each other every occasionally. Between our work schedules, different churches, and her doctor appointments, we see one another for maybe two 15-minute sessions a day (that’s just Monday through Thursday). From Friday to Sunday, it is actually a miracle if we see each other. I think we have become fairly good at summing up our days in those few minutes.

I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain last week with my Sunday School Class. It was a blast. I honestly couldn’t tell you what was the best ride… terminator… batman… tatsu… I don’t know they were all pretty fun. Although I definitely didn’t like the line for superman… dark tunnel… crowded… hour wait… I couldn’t wait for fresh air! My only regret was that we didn’t get to go on X2… both times we got in line we were informed that the ride was down.

I can’t wait for August. I get to go on vacation! I will by flying home then driving with my parents and brother up to Oregon to attend my cousins wedding. I will be gone for two weeks! When I return I will be registering for my classes and back in school. I feel as if summer is flying by!

I’m not sure what else I should say. Oh! I cut my hair! It is now above my shoulders. I haven’t had it this short in over 5 years. It is taking a little while to get used to, especially when I have to try to put it up for work.

Today is my little brother’s and Grandpa’s birthdays. Daniel is 19! Man that makes me feel old… even if I’m only 20 I made sure I texted him bright and early this morning to wish him a great bday. Well, in actuality, it was still dark outside, and I hadn’t gone to bed yet. I’m sure he appreciated a text just after midnight though.

Ok. I need to stop rambling. Hope you enjoyed reading about everything.
