It doesn't take much and suddenly I am 13 again, being told by the snotty cool girl that I have "damaged hair", running home crying to my mom. Why do the people I work with have to be so weirdly mean? Talk about your own eating habits and leave me alone!

It didn't exactly feel real when we got engaged. And I thought it would feel real when I bought my gown, but it was just a dress hanging in a closet. Now that we're in 2009 I think it's finally sinking in and becoming more tangeable. I'm getting married this year - its really real! 6 months from today I will be home from my honeymoon and setting up ( Read more... )

1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?

Got my first post-graduation full-time job and got engaged.

2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I don’t think I made a resolution for 2008, but for 2009 I will resolve to not let wedding planning drive me crazy.

3. Did anyone close to ( Read more... )

More often than not its your sanity. What is this frantic, murderous pace we Americans keep? It can't be healthy to try to get a college education being stressed out to the max almost the whole time. I'm not talking about myself here - for once I have a _very_ easy quarter and a wonderfully understanding teacher who was not sent from the devil to ( Read more... )

 Well, Tiggerbone requested details and since I am hardly ever on AIM anymore I guess they will have to go here.

So Matt and I had been talking about getting married for a few months and in March he let me pick out a ring (I'm ridiculously picky about jewelry and he knows it). Since I knew he was going to be proposing within the next year, he wanted ( Read more... )

 For the record...this is the most awkward night of class I've ever experienced. More awkward than the first night of this class this quarter. I almost feel like walking out. Almost. What's the point? What is the freakin' point of trying to work out all this garbage? Just let me go home to work on my paper which aparently got a horrible grade. I ( Read more... )

So the job I've been looking for... I have lots of experience working in an office, so I figured I would try to find a secretarial position in a social services office to get my foot in the door and make contacts, etc. After cruising the internet for several days and even the classified ads in the paper, I had come up with nothing. Maybe these jobs ( Read more... )

I am losing my job at Wright State on August 20th. My boss tried to find a way to keep me, but the system is unyielding. I hate change. And I hate looking for a new job. And the lack of prospects is scary. My parents will insist that I find a job, any job - even Walmart ::shudders ( Read more... )

I am the most irrational, melodramatic, over-the-top, selfish person ever. I'm well aware. I don't want you to worry, I just wish I could explain myself better. But stupid doesn't translate well into words. I'm miserable, that's the long and short of it. I'm miserable, but its all in my head I guess. You were my refuge and now I can't seem to relax ( Read more... )
