Staring the "real" world in the face!

I am a senior in college, thinking agout what I want to do when I get out. Not really sure, but maybe writing things down will help me figure it out.

Good morning, World!

Well, it's FRIDAY!!! I am so happy for that! It means I survived another week of torture, oops, I mean school. Only 9 weeks to go! Yeah for single digits!!
And that's all I have to say!

Going insane!

Today was great... or at least, until I got to work. This morning I did an interview for my journalism class, and it went great!
But then I got to work, and the chair of the department's assistant decided to be a pain in my ass.
I have to find a new job. Come Januaray, I will have a new job unless this place gives me as huge pay raise! That is the only way I would stick around any longer!
And it doens't help that I am stressed, and don't want my boyfriend to leave in December! I just don't want to have to be here by myself for a full year! Yes, I will have friends, but it's not the same. There won't be anyone just downstairs from me, and no one to call when things get going to tough, or anyone to hold me when we watch TV. Just thinking about having to be here alone makes me so sad. Sometimes, I feel like I'm going to break down. But then I tell myself that I shouldn't break down (at least, just yet). He's still here. Why make the few months we have left together that much harder. So we try to make the most of our time. I'll worry about being alone when I'm actually alone!
Any way... just wanted to vent! Thanks for listening!!!

Good morning, World!

So, here's something I wrote out at the beginning of the semester!

Remember:
This semester is going to be hard! You can't hide from it. It's a necessity that has to be dealt with. Running away won't make it disappear. Stressing about it isn't going to make it any easier.
So what is to be done?
- Work hard! Working hard will get the job done.
- Don't procrastinate! Procrastination only makes things worse. If it is hard now, it will be even harder next week.
- Don't stress! Stressing wears the immune system down. A worn down immune system makes you sick. Being sick won't help anything.
- Take time to relax! Have fun. It's ok to do something enjoyable so long as it is not just an act of procrastination.
- Take heart! Everyone goes through rough times. "This too shall pass."
- Fall back on your strength! Yes, you have strength - it comes from being a Crowley.
- Trust people around you! Fall back on your family and friends! They are willing to help- let them.

Also:
This is Rob's last semester here. After this, he won't be around everyday. Don't take that for granted. Enjoy every minute with him. Don't allow a day to pass without a kiss and an "I love you!" It's not worth the hurt and pain if something doesn't go just as planned. Take every day as if it were the last (cliche, I know). Let him know he's important to you. And a future with him will be the greatest thing that could ever happen!

After a long weekend...

comes an even longer week! Oh well... after this week, only 9 more to go! That's awesome!!! The weeks seem to be flying by! For me, though, I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, it's a good thing because this awful semester will be over and I will be done with it. The bad thing is this semester will be over, and my boyfriend will be done with college. I just don't like the idea that my boyfriend is leaving this town, and there's nothing I can do to make him stay. I mean, he has to follow where the Air Force leads him. That's not cool.
But that's just something I have to come to terms with.
Well... I have a list of things that I want to do with my boyfriend before he graduates!
- go to the zoo
- Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Over Texas
- the Renaissance Fair
- go to the museum
- watch the sunrise on a Saturday
- have a picnic

Those are a few! I hope we get to do them!!! I'm thinking about taking him to the zoo this weekend. It would be a nice break from school and work!

Oh well... that's about all I have to say right now.

Well well well!


This week has been so long. And it's only Thursday! Good thing I took tomorrow off from work. Unfortunately, I took the day off so I could rest up before this weekend. I get to spend all day Saturday and Sunday with a load of high school freshmen girls in my hometown. I volunteered to help out with this thing called Holypalooza. I use to go to it when I was in high school, and then I started volunteering for it when I got to college. And it's here again.
It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to much homework that is due next week! Oh well... maybe I'll have a break of some kind so I can accomplish something!

Well, school is going, that's for sure. I wouldn't say that's it's going good, though. The fact that I may not graduate when I want to doesn't really lift the spirits any.

Last night, a group of us went to the bar after class. I needed it. I needed some friendly faces, good food, and a strong margarita! The core of the group is so great. You have this girl who is so real. She doesn't care what she says. Then you have the gay guy who is so great to talk to. And then there's me and my boyfriend. I love hanging out with these people. Some weeks, we get some other people involved. But it's usually us. I love it!!!

Well, that's all I know for now.

Sitting here...

So this weekend was so great!

I played hookie from work on Friday, so me, my boyfriend, and one of my best friends went ice skating!!! It was so much fun... and the best part is that no one fell! Well, then we wandered around the mall for a few hours, and had a blast. Then we went to supper at Bennigans. While we were there, my friend went to use the bathroom. Well, when he came back he had this weird look on his face. He had flushed his cell phone down the toilet! How funny is that?

On Saturday, I got up and made breakfast for my boyfriend and we just relaxed for a while. Then we split to do homework and other things (I went to work out and then spent the rest of the time being lazy). But then my boyfriend called to see if I could be ready in like 30 minutes. The great thing is that I had just done my hair really cute just because. So I was ready. Well, he took me out to a movie, then dinner. Afterwards we just walked around some stores and had fun just being together. And then we went and watched M*A*S*H (our favorite show)!!!

And on Sunday, we went to church and then had lunch. Then off to do homework. And Sundays are date night... but my bf got sick. So we watched our Sunday night show, had supper, then I put him to bed.
And when I got up this morning and got ready for school, his bike was still at his apartment so I knew he wasn't well. So I stopped by to see if he needed anything before I left. And unfortunately, I think I may have caught it. My stomach isn't feeling well. But I will be ok. Only a few more hours of work.


So, we are in our sixth week of school. It seems to be going by so quickly. Too bad I found out that I may not graduate when I thought I would. Now I think I will be graduating next December. That's ok. It means that my bf will have a full year in the Air Force before I graduate, so then we can get married pretty soon after graduation. That would be so cool!!! I can't wait to get engaged... I know that I love him with all my heart! And I can't wait to start our lives together. But I know that I have to get through school, or my parents would throw a fit.

Any way... I can't wait till this weekend... I get to go home and see my family. I feel like I haven't seen them in forever! Last semester, I saw them every other week or so, but it's been almost 5 weeks. I know that doesn't seem like a long time, but to me it is. I am definitely a family girl! I love my family so much! And with a new niece who is growing like a weed, I want to see her as much as possible!!!

Well, I guess I better get back to work...
