It just hit me.

School starts in 31 days.

I move out in less than 25 days.


Where the heck did summer go?  I just barely finished unpacking all of my stuff, because I've been working like crazy, and now I need to slowly start packing it all up again?  I'm slightly sad.

However, I'm actually getting really excited, too.

I'm excited to move back to Provo, go to classes, have a social life, and not work as much.

Don't get me wrong; it was really nice to move back home and spend some more time with my family.  They're awesome, and I missed them a lot last year.  Plus, I've really liked not paying for rent and groceries for the past 3 1/2 months.  However, now that I've experienced life on my own, I want it back.

I think I've got a fairly good course-load this semester:  Intro to English Language, Asian Humanities, New Testament (with a highly recommended teacher), and Intro to Italian (Sono così entusiasta di assumere questo!).  I think it will be a really good semester. And with my new job, I won't be nearly as stressed as I was last year; I won't need to drive down to American Fork three times a week for work.

Sigh.... How much longer do I have to wait, again?

Writing

So lately, I haven't been writing as much as I should; I've been so busy with the stress of work!  Haha, but today, I felt like I needed to write this.  So please humor me when I need to vent like this please ;)

P.S. FOAM DAY is tomorrow!  I'm hoping to get some awesome pictures, so you might be able to look forward to that soon!



I find myself faking it a lot so that I can pretend to be closer to you.


I didn't at first, but you pulled away, and I got desperate.
Why did you leave?  I'm not just talking physically, but emotionally too.
Something wasn't good enough, I suppose.


I need you to know that I'm done.
I'm done trying to impress you.
You need to like me for what I am.  


Maybe that's why this didn't work.


I wish you well in all that you do.
Please know that I still care about you,
And I will always be here as your friend.


Hopefully we will get a second chance,
Seeing as our first chance was badly timed.


Goodbye for now.


-Me

Awe :)

FYI

I think I'm going to delete my Formspring.  And possibly my Twitter.



They're getting kind of lame.

Work Rant

Why is it all the crazy things happen when I'm shorthanded at work?  Ready for this?  


First, I'm training someone - that's hard enough to do when I'm not shorthanded.  So basically, I'm trying to do my job, while showing someone how to do theirs at the same time.  


Second - A group of teenagers came into the store that I wanted to punch.  They touched everything in sight, and I even caught a kid licking a wooden rainbow to, and I quote, "See if it tasted like Skittles." I was an inch away from kicking them out of the store, but they finally left.  


Third - an old guy comes in and, while giving me strange requests,  starts spouting off these conspiracy theories and putting scriptures out of context to back them up.  He did this for an hour.  


Lastly - while amidst all this chaos, I totally forgot there was a balloon order due near closing time.  50 Balloons.  With the help of one of my coworkers, we were able to work like lightning and get them done in 20 minutes.  Thank goodness, she was ok with that.  



Long story short (too late!) I'm so glad this day is done.
