Work...and today...

...yeah, I passed all of my classes. At this point, this is all I really care to do. C or above is FINE with me. I even made some As! Go me!

Okay, I'm not complaining or anything (well, I guess I am actually), but I just have to get this off my chest.

First of all, just because I work at a fast food place (it is fancy fast food, just so you know) doesn't mean I'm worthless and have no idea what I'm doing. I freaking hate it when customers come in and talk to me like I'm 12 years old and it's my first day on the job. I usually just laugh to myself and think about how successful I am going to be when it is time to leave Quizno's. Let's see some of these people work 2 jobs and go to school full time as a MUSIC major...the second hardest major to graduate from, from what I hear. It just drives me crazy that people stereotype fast food workers. We're not all mess-ups. Some of us are just trying to pay for an apartment next to school so they can freakin' graduate. Sheesh. Other than that, work is good. Haha. I'm working full-time over the holidays so I can save up some money before I have to cut back on my hours. Being a day manager is a lot more fun than being a night manager...I love telling people what to do. :)

I went to the doctor today who told me I've had an upper respiratory infection for a while. I knew I had a cold a few weeks ago, but apparently that cold got a little to comfortable in my lungs. I'm on 3 prescriptions and I got two shots in my butt. It's sore to say the least. One of my meds is Musinex. If you haven't seen the commercial, you should try to find it. Cracks me up. I just picture my phlem throwing a party and the drugs crashing it. I think it's funny anyway. Maybe it is the drugs...

Christmas was great. I got a digital camera, and MP3 player, my car payment, and internet at my apartment from my parents. I love them. My sweet sweet sweet little brother gave me 100 bucks, which shocked the hell out of me. As my mom says, "He loves his big sister." He's a good kid. Both grandmas gave me 100 bucks. Rochelle got me 3 shot glasses (yay!), Chris got me a HUGE coffee table that he put together and got to my house all by himself (it said "team lift for your safety" on the box...haha), a pizza cutter, an ice cream scooper (there's reasons for that...), and last but not least...the 3rd season of Beavis and Butthead. He's so great. I got him a puppy, a bunch of stuff for his truck, and a down comforter. Even my PARENTS bought Chris a present. They always hate my boyfriends. I guess I finally picked the right one. :)

I finally finished moving out of my grandma's house tonight. Filled the car again. You never know how much crap you have until you have to move every last bit of it.

My trombone has to go to the shop for a few days. My recital is next semester so I'm getting the slide worked on a bit and getting that rattle taken out of my F attachment. It'll be like new again. I'm excited. Mom is taking me to buy a new formal dress for my recital since I'm finally playing by myself and not with 3 other guys in tuxes. I can get whatever color I want. It's exciting for me, bite me.

ANYWAY...I guess I've talked too much. I actually had time to sit here and write what has been going on in detail. When's the last time I did that? Potentially during my Xanga years...

I'll leave with you with my schedule for next semseter. Might I say, my LAST semester of college. I can't believe it. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Lesson? Piano Lessons?

Not too bad. I can't believe I'm so close.

I PASSED ALL OF MY CLASSES!!!

I made it!

I...made...it.

So far I have two Bs. At this point in my career, I am okay with Bs. This has been a pretty average semester, to say the least. I could have done better in most of my classes, but I had a lot going on personally that I let get in the way. The one grade that I am insanely worried about has not posted yet...we will see what happens with that.

Things are great. I have no money, but whatever. I can not pay my bills, but whatever. I have a sense of accomplishment and a great family to encourage me along. I know I say that everytime, but I can't help it. They are the best (Chris, you are included in the "family" category now!).

I am at my parent's house right now...Dad is fixing my headlight that has been out for a week or so. Who has time to take their car to their parent's house to fix the headlight?...oh...I do!!! What a relief. Ugh.

My apartment is pretty dirty. So is my car. Who has time to clean their apartments and cars...oh wait...I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I absolutely have to do over the holidays is go get that second opinion (if you don't know, there's a reason) and practice my trombone, since my senior recital (gasp) is next semester. I think I can handle that.

Alright. I am off to help dad with the headlight...believe it or not, I can use a socket wrench.

Until next time.
