Spice Up My Life

I totally need to do something different. I pretty much can't wait to move out of Richmond this summer. Nobody is here so its boring and not a lot to do. Except work....but thats not too fun lol. I want to swim in a pool and I want to hang out with my friends back home. Seems like more there than here right now. But, I know I'll probably change my mind after a while back home.

So, today at work the power went out and I was on dishwasher duty and of course I had to stop and couldn't do much anyways. Woo, the first time during shift change and this what happens. I'm not complaining. lol I have to do my own dishes here at my apt. UGH. dishes -_- hate.

I need to work out again. This stomach isn't what I want. Yoga maybe? Maybe more Jillian Michaels kick ass workout for 30 mins? That seemed to help for awhile. Then I just stopped cuz I'm lazy. :/ No excuse I guess. Anyways, need to kick my butt into gear.

Winding Down

I feel like things are slowing down. Does that mean I'm settling already? I feel like life is in sloowww moootionnnn. I'm just goin to work sometimes its the same ol thing but then every once in a while it likes to pick up speed. I'm going to be moving out of here soon, I need an apt with a/c asap. I might move home just for the summer then move into an apt that I find hopefully in August. BUT, that won't happen unless I finally put a down payment to hold that room for me. I was feelin high hopes but then I was broken down when the guy called and told me that he's cancelling the appts cuz they were already rented or something else happened. SUCKS. I'm nervous about this semester. I'm only taking 2 classes and then going to be working part-time. I don't want to commute if it comes down to it. At least, I have people by my side. Help me get through this stupid situation thats going down. I'm glad I'm finally getting hrs in unlike 2 weeks ago where they gave me a week off and worked one day. Anyways, I realize my rambling keeps going back and forth but its kind of how my mind works. I know, weird. Anyways, I have stuff still bundled up inside me that I wanna type out but I know if I do that one person that I don't want to see it will see it and then I'll never hear the end of it cuz they'll know I'm talking about them. ...yeaaaa. Probably why I don't speak my mind much cuz I get in trouble every time I do. No lie- every freakin time.

Anyways- hope I can keep this going.

SO- nothing is going on until July. Except for my niece's recital next week.
I need to swim at a pool.
I can't wait till July :) Family reunion in PA for a weekend and then the weekend after that I'll be off to Germany & Switzerland :) I'll be gone for 2 weeks. I need it. I'm being stressed out over some things that I shouldn't be.
I feel like I can't do my own thing sometimes or else I'll be critized or made to feel bad just because I didn't do things their way. I'm sorry I made plans already cuz I have a life and you don't? Sometimes I just don't know.
OMG i was supposed to leave a long time ago....oops.

I have some things to share...

WELL, first off- I thought i had to move back home this summer (which I still might be) until I found out that I'm going back to VCU! Woo! I still have to move out of my apt- i found some cheaper apts here in Richmond. AND some of these apts have AC! Which what i'm living in doesn't have so it sucks here in the summer time. I do like it here cuz its no more than a 10 min walk to the campus but yea, other than that i dont really know too many people here- like in my building. Except for this teacher I met that lives on the first floor. I did meet a dude that lives on the same floor as me but on the other side. But anyways- I want to move. Thats what I'm trying to get at. It'd be nice to go somewhere different.

I got a job at Noodles & co in Willow Lawn. I really like the people there and its so nice, sometimes busy, but I want to be busy so I never know what time it is. Sometimes it is a surprise and like oh, its time to get off work already?! ...ok! lol I'm going to stay during the summer and going to work there Part Time during school- which will also be Part time.

I was reading Jay Asher's blog (Author of Thirteen Reasons Why) and there's news that its going to be turned into a movie. Selena Gomez as Hannah Baker (the lead role). At first, I was like well...idk. But she read the book and she talked to Jay why she loved it and interested in playing the role. First off- I'm happy she read the book. Kinda drives me crazy when I find out the actors didnt read the book that the movie was based off of. Anyways, I started thinking about it and I'm like you know, i can see her doing this role and got kinda excited. Jay is going to be in the movie process- which i'm also excited about. For example: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. LOVE that book. HATE that movie- drives me crazy. So many things they left out and changed and I couldnt really enjoy it cuz i criticizing it the whole movie. I still feel bad for Arielle cuz she had to deal with me talking and complaining about it. I'm sorry for that. But, I just love that book. SO, hopefully that doesn't happen with this movie. So, as long as the author is involved to make sure things go the way they're supposed to go then I'll be happy. Like for another example: Harry Potter. JK Rowling was involved and i think you can tell. Yea, some things changed but it wasn't drastic and you could still follow along, got most of the same (major) points, then your good in my book. Love the books & the movies :)

In other news- Pep Band did a recording and that was fun- you could tell people were like omg lets get this over with towards the end. But, we did good. We were there from 11:30-3:00ish. It did seem longer than that but thats how it usually goes.

ok- I think thats all I wanted to share. Hope everyone is well :) <3

New Semester

This semester kinda blows. I'm not going to school and in desperate need of a job. I really hope Barnes & Noble hires me, I love bookstores, idk why they haven't gave me a chance like every year I apply to jobs. -_- seriously. I hope they call me. BUT, other than that I applied to other jobs but more like REAL jobs. lol I tried reception, hotel, bookstores, even an advertising internship thats paid. I didn't even get that. SO annoyed. Just need a job for 8 months plus every summer after that. But noooooooo. ANYWAYS, some good news today: I'm hanging out with Ashlee love today :) I'm very excited.

Journalist

I created a tumblr to help my group for my Mass Comm class to spread the word about how some gov'ts are allowing people to beat up journalist because they're speaking their mind! ITS CRAZY! Here in the US, we are lucky and don't have to deal with this. But, sadly, most other countries do have to deal with it and this is one of the cases thats mind-blowing. I have heard of other cases where they just murder the journalist. This isn't a game! This is serious, real life is crazy sometimes. I bet you you've never heard of such a case. BUT, that's why i am here. To let you fill your brain with knowledge! :)

Here, go to tumblr: http://russianjournalist.tumblr.com/

And Facebook: Join the group and we want your input!

Please write, answer: What you would do? If you got beaten up just for speaking your mind!?

Ads

I've seen some of these ads before, some I haven't, but some of them I can't read because it's in a different language. SO, I want to show this to you guys. Its kind of jaw-dropping because they're offensive or you can't believe your eyes that they actually published 'em at one point. Ridiculous. Just sayin'.
