Dealing With Differences

This semester is completely different from last semester. I actually have more classes than I had and I have decided to take on a new job as well. So my days are not spent being as lazy as I was. Last semester I only had 12 hrs of classes a week, so after I was done with class, I would go to my room and just sleep, get up and some homework, and go back to sleep. It was fun at first until I began to feel like a bomb. No offense to other bums. If that's what you like then have at it. I just could not take it anymore. I would sleep so much, that my head would start hurting. (I know that sounds bad)



I had a job, but it was only on the weekends because I thought I would get to stressed working through the week and on the weekend while trying to keep up my grades. At the time, I was working at Torrid. It's a plus size clothing store in the Wolfchase Mall. It wasn't hard at all, in fact, I really enjoyed working there. A lot of the customers like me. Well the customers that didn't call me "skinny" and tell me I had no business working there. Well, this semester, I found out Torrid is closing on January 27.

For the past week and a half, I have been working as an office assistant in Clement Hall. It is completely different from Torrid. Everyone is sooooo quiet, and I'm at a little desk by myself. I'm not complaining, just pointing out the differences. Everyone at the job has been very nice to me, so it's cool. But my schedule is very different from last semester. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I am out of my room from 11:30 until 4:30. Tuesday and Thursday, I am out from 8:00 until 4:30. My days now are so busy. I work 16 hrs and I'm in class for 15. I don't get as many naps as last semester, but I like it. I don't feel like that bum anymore, so that's nice. The good part about my work study job is that I'm able to get homework done, so when I get off, I'm free.

Also last semester, I did a lot of hanging out. At the time, my boyfriend and I were trying to adjust to a lot of new things at once. He began to work to full time jobs Monday- Friday, which means we could only see each on the weekends. It's okay now, but at the time it was driving us crazy. I was so use to seeing him all the time, and then it was all different. I was just starting college, just beginning to live on my own on campus, and he had just got his own apartment and working his new job. It was a very stressful time for us. So we broke up a few times, but it never lasted long. I thought it was time for me to "test the waters" and it sucked. I compared every person that wanted to date me to him and they just could not compare. But because of my stubbornness, I still did not call him. He always called me though. Of course. Hope he never gets hold of this!

As of now, he and I are doing well. We have gotten use to our busy schedules and we just appreciate the time we are able to spend with each other. We celebrated our one year on August 15, 2007. I can not believe that I have actually maintained a relationship for over a year. I never thought it could be possible for me. When he brought it to my attention that our one year was less than 2 months away, I instantly felt like running out of Cracker Barrel. (That's one of the best restaurants for those who don't know.) I realized I wouldn't have a ride home, so I had to stay. I honestly have no clue how he managed to keep us together all of this time, because I usually have no problem breaking up with someone and moving on. My past relationships always seem to strangely end right before the one year deadline if you know what I mean. Not that I have had many relationships. Throughout my life, I have only had 3 serious relationships, and I am currently with my third. If he plays his cards right, it will be my last. Enough for now, I have to save something about me for my future blogs.......
