Hey so I just wanted to rant a little to you guys. Money. So I know I'm low on money, very low in fact, but does that mean that I don't pitch in where I can when I can? No. Does that mean I don't do things around the house so mom doesn't have to? No. Does that mean I need to be sat down for a ten minuet lecture about how as of next week I will be limited on when I can drive and how long I can stay out? Hell No! Okay I know that I need to pitch in around the house because my parents, out of the goodness of their hearts, haven't kicked me to the curb yet. And praise god I am allowed to wake up at 7 in the morning every Sunday to go to a church that is gracious enough to understand that I needed a year off to collect myself and really think about what I am doing in my life because heaven above knows I have everything sorted now.
*&#@ !!! ( <-- That's a curse word )
I'm 19 years old, living with my parents, trying to balance school and a boyfriend (which has turned into basically a full time job) not to mention trying to keep the house clean so my mom doesn't have to worry about cleaning and watering the plants and sweeping the pool and washing dishes every night. My room is a mess because my free time is spent doing homework. The money I have goes towards food so my parents don't have to feed me throughout the week, whatever I have left goes towards gas for the truck (which by the way, dad, yes I do put my own money into that gas tank, why do you think I don't tell you every time I fill up? I don't want you to worry about having to pay for every single gallon in there).

Every night I try to be asleep by 11:00, but that rarely happens. Often on Monday and Sunday I end up at my boyfriends place and we hang out until 9:30, 10:00.
The whole point of this is to tell you guys that I keep a regular schedule and that I generally know what happens in my day to day life, and yes, I do leave at 7 in the morning so I can pick up my boyfriend for his class at 8 in the morning even though I don't have class until 9:30. He stays at a friends house on those days and his friend lives on the way to school. I'm headed that way anyways and I don't see the problem with it. Doesn't that just mean I care about my boyfriend? I would do that for most of my friends if they lived between me and the school. My parents are always on my about getting up early because I waste the day away sleeping, so getting up early is what they wanted but now I have a reason to, they get pissed off at me for it. I don't understand. Yes, he moved and now lives 40 minuets away by car, it's a 25 minuet drive if you take the freeway the whole way. Yes, I need a job, I put in 3 more applications today though and even if I don't fill those out right in front of you, I still do them so get off my back, parents! Yes, you had a job at 16, good for you, but this isn't the 70s anymore, this is 2013 and times have certainly changed.
Girls can pay for half of the date now and it is considered okay. Girlfriends drive their boyfriends places when they don't have a vehicle, not all guys have a car! Just because you don't see someone doing something doesn't mean they aren't doing it! And yes, you can take that however you want to!
All of this just goes to say that I am trying to get a job, I am putting my own money towards gas, I don't just taxi my boyfriend around, Yes (oh my god people please stop asking me this) I do still have feeling for my boyfriend, no I have no idea where my cellphone charger is (sorry love...), yes I am still best friends with my best friend even though we don't talk and text all of the time because it is possible to be best friends even if you're not constantly communicating, and last but not least no I have not yet set up an appointment with a college counselor to discuss the upcoming semester even though everyone has been on my case about it!
Sorry, I know this one was long and there was a lot you guys probably missed because of its personal nature, but next blog should be more upbeat and happy and about Halloween. Hopefully. Until next time, guys, stay awesome!

I'm Sick!!!!! And way behind in school............
Hey Blog Readers!!!!! So I am so sorry for not posting a blog thing in forever but I got super busy and I kept telling myself that I would post something tomorrow and I said that for months so.........yeah. I'm sure we all know how that ends up.
So I started school in August, I'm attending the local community college taking 10 units and I'm really enjoying classes. I have an awesome English instructor and I see my friends between classes which is nice since I missed them and rarely saw them during my year off. I'm two months in and I feel a little in over my head, I'm not even a full time student yet and I feel so behind on everything. I just took my Photo midterm, I passed with an 88% which is a lot better than I thought I would get. The test was entirely multiple choice but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be and a lot of the questions were on topics that we had never reviewed or gone over in class so most of us failed. My Illustrator class is moving along nicely, and the professor won't be grading any of the work until the very end of the semester so we have as long as we need to work on the projects and get everything done so that we are comfortable with what we did and how we did it. I really enjoy that fact. My English class is so much fun, the teacher is young and cool, he really makes me feel like I can do everything that he is throwing at me and the essays and work load seem to be simple enough, even though they are still somehow challenging. I have to meet with a counselor to discuss the future at school and decide on classes, I've been putting off contacting the Counseling Center because I feel like everything will be so much ore real, plus I'm still uncomfortable at school and talking to a counselor will cement me attending. I want to transfer to a UC school south of here but I feel like I won't be able to succeed there. I don't even know if I can succeed here.
Getting kinda deep..
Moving on.
So I'm sick. Not "I have a flu." sick, I'm talking coughing sneezing fever headache throwing up everywhere then eating a box of mac n cheese because I'm craving it sick. Yes. Today I ate an entire box of mac n cheese. By myself. I've never done that before, I'm not even sure how it happened, I only meant to eat one bowl, then all of a sudden all of the mac n cheese is gone and I know I'm the one who ate it. Scary how that happens. So I went to school yesterday and because I am sick I sat down with my friends in the lobby, waiting for 9:30 to roll around so I could go to English and then suddenly it was 10:20 and no one had woken me up. I fell asleep and missed my English class which sucked because it is one of those classes where you have to be there for each class in order to do the in class activities and get credit for them. Okay so I missed English, I still had Illustrator at 11:40 so my friends and I went to the cafe for some food because we're all there until late and the cafe has warm food and comfy booths. So I get my fries and I sit down to eat them when my boyfriends comes over and I lean on him. Bad Idea. I woke up at 1:40 and my boyfriend was gone, half the cafe was empty and it was just me and three of my friends sitting at the booth. I can't very well walk into my class two hours late and be all like "Sorry. I fell asleep in the cafe." >.> so I did what any normal person would do: go back to sleep. I was woken up by my boyfriend and then he and I sat there and waited for my brother to get out of class and meet up with us at 2:45. Needless to say I have a lot to catch up on since I've been gone from my classes for a week or so on and off. I know I'm sick and I shouldn't be pushing myself, but I can't help it, I want to go to school and I want to do my work and I want to prove to my disapproving parents that I can in fact do something right and make something out of myself.
Anyways...I'm getting sick again so I'm pretty sure it's about time to throw up the mac n cheese so I'll post again soon and until then, I love you guys for letting me rant here and please stay healthy!!!
