"My Future's So Bright/I Gotta Wear Shades"

So life is pretty damn amazing right now. I LOVE my new job so much. I enjoy going in everyday. Right now it is insane because of the holiday season, but I love it any way.
I'm loving my friends at work. We all go out all the time, and it's great to have fit with my work family so quickly.

Moving into my apartment in 3 weeks. I'm excited. My roommate (Well soon to be roommate) is AMAZING. I love her to death. We get along excellently. The apartment decor is coming along amazingly as well. It's...just really ballin'.

I got my schedule for USC for spring semester. I'm officially a double major in Criminology and Abnormal Psychology. I have 4 classes, but I'm done between 11am and 12pm everyday. Which means, I can work full time still. (Very excellent, now that I will have a rent payment). I'm taking Criminal Law, Criminal Courts, Developmental Psychology and a Geography Lab. I have to take the lab, it's the final general science class that I need. Next semester will be Abnormal Psychology in Children, Italian 101, some random philosophy logics class (i need for my criminology degree), and a course on Serial Killers. Overall, i'm f'ing EXCITED.

Still talking to this guy friend. I'm giving him a chance. I'm starting to like him alot. He's very independent and mature. He's straight up and speaks his mind. But what I like best is, he doesn't have a different personality with different friends. He just, is who he is....and he doesn't change it. I like that. We'll see what happens.

I'm just really excited about life right now. I've learned to let the crap of the past go and laugh it off. People suck, so what? It's a life lesson.

Apartment Tour, New Boy, Sushi, Nat. Geo Wild

The past few days have been awesome. Work is AMAZING, I love it so much. My roomie and I went for the final tour of our soon to be apartment. I AM SO F-ING EXCITEDDDDDDDDD! It's such a nice place! We're planning a big get together once we're moved in, before school starts back.

Last night I went out for girls night to the Fuji Cafe and ate some AWESOME sushi.
Sweet Potato Roll, Shrimp/Asparagus Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll.........all excellent. I didn't care for the Eel roll though.
Sushi is basically my new favorite.

I was thinking that the boy from my old job at Lowes was pulling a prank on me, or being an ass. But he's talked to me on his own everyday this week. He still wants to hang out. So I think I'm going to give him a chance, and be positive about it. He's really attractive and ridiculously nice. But very down to earth. Very sarcastic, like me. ha.

I'm also loving the new National Geographic Wild channel. I'm such a dork and have spent 3 nights in a row watching documentaries on there. Hippos, Jellyfish, Snakes....love ittttt.

Everything is going really smoothly, minus my last lab grade in Astronomy....but oh well, the class is almost over. THANK GOD. Oh and minus the fact that mom's doberman ate a blanket the other night and had to go to the E.R. vet. But he's ok now.

Anyway, off to work I go. Come see me at Bed, Bath and Beyond!

Yes I Would Die For You Baby/But You Wouldn't Do The Same.

This is one of my favorite songs right now-

Grenade- Bruno Mars (I'm diggin' me some Bruno Mars these days)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaG1hBKgDfo

This song, lyrically, I just love. Represents what love should be and how people take advantage of it and ruin it, as silly and poppy as it is.

A...boy? UGH! NO!

So of course I promised that I wouldn't bother with any guys for awhile, even if it was just plain, simple, platonic friendship (Cause that always seems to go to hell in a hand basket with me).
And it's gone well for awhile, but now it's NOT going well at all. I went to a big bonfire with all my friends from Lowes last night, because i hadn't seen any of them since I quit a few weeks ago.
And a very attractive young man, name not to be disclosed here, who i worked with my entire 10 months there showed up.
Anyway, we hung out and chatted....and when i got home from the get together, he facedbooked me and asked if i'd like to hang out again. Apparently, he enjoys the fact that I'm intelligent and strong willed.

I'm not sure what to do. He's an attractive guy (VERY attractive, RIDICULOUSLY....and he needs a sorority girl...not a girl like me), business major at USC, loves football, super nice......can't complain. But, at the same time.....he worked with me for 10 months and we didn't talk very much while I was working there. So, he comes out of nowhere last night and suddenly says he'd like to take me to dinner? Hmm....and he started just complimenting in all these different ways.

I've been there, done that. Generally......that crap is lies. Guys tell you that you're beautiful and smart.........They don't mean it.
So i don't want to blow him off and be a HUGE jerk.....but at the same time, is he trustworthy? Or is he just another 20-something, USC playa whose bored and in need of a little amusement?


I'm not sure where i stand with all of it.


So stay tuned...........and pray that I don't get mixed up in another "Bullshit with a Boy" saga. Because I'm sick of those.

Pardon Me/While I Burst/Into Flames.

I'm trying to get it together, because I have to be to work in less than two hours. But I really don't have a handle on my emotions or my temper right now.

One of our dogs apparently ate a large plastic toy while no one was home. Now he's very ill, and without surgury, he will die. Unless the vet's office will allow my parents to make payments on the bill, they can't afford it. So currently, mom is laying in the middle of the floor sobbing over the dog. My dad has no idea how to deal with this, or most any of my mom's issues.
I want my dog to be ok, but currently the house is so full of drama that I can't even focus.

My sister is behaving like the spoiled brat she's been all summer long. Last night, both my mom and my sister told me they can't wait for me to be out of the house, because i'm in their way.
They don't have any respect for me, or the constant running that I do for them. I work 2 jobs and go to school, and they could care less that I use all of my free time for their needs. They don't give me any gas money, or any money to pay me back when I pick up their groceries or whatever.

My parents marriage is in shambles. All they do is fight, and it's effecting the entire house. Mom isn't paying the bills like she is supposed too, so bill collectors are calling non-stop. The house stays in a mess, because I can't keep up with all of it myself.


There is just so much going on and I can't deal with it, because I'm trying to work and make good grades (which is hard to do, when the house is like a violent zoo all the time) and start my own life.
I feel like i'm failing my family, and there isn't anyone around to listen.

Finally tried sushi.

I gotta say, Life is treating me pretty darn decent these days. My new job is AMAZING, i love it. They gave me the Sales Lead position in the Bedding department. Plus, I'm loving working in Harbison. All the hustle and bustle.

I got my acceptance letter from USC. Right now I'm still waiting on the Immunization Records department to update my file so I can register for Orientation and Advisement. It's stressing me out a tiny bit because Orientation is in two and a half weeks, and I'm not registered yet.

I signed the lease on my apartment last week as well. So excited, we move in officially in less than 8 weeks. Seems like a long way, but it's really not. I have barely started sorting through all my stuff.

Halloween was loads of fun. My roommate and i went downtown Saturday night. I went as a referee, surprisingly I was the only Referee downtown. I saw 27 Little Red Riding Hoods, Dorothy's, Audrey Hepburns etc....but no ref's. So that was pretty cool. We had a few nerve testing moments walking around by ourselves, cause some guys were overly drunk and following us. But it was ok. Although my roommate wants us to get a larger group next time, cause it was sorta tense for a bit.
Actually, we ended up at the Ale House. Somehow, I always end up at The Ale House. I have no idea why. But they have good margaritas and good food, so suits me just fine.

We went to Tsunamis to eat..............holy crap, sushi is my new favorite food. I tried three different kinds, and I liked all of it. Although, I liked the Godzilla Roll best. It was pretty fantabulous. (yes, I said fantabulous)

Overall, life is coming together. Had a really good family dinner last night, hadn't had one of those in forever. It was good to spend time with the whole family for a while.


So, God is awesome. I'm happy (for the most part, haha). Now it's time to go to work.

Peace out.
