Stress-Free and Loving Life

Between adjusting to my "new" life, new school, and no job I thought I would be extremely stressed out, (especially since I tend to stress about everything!) but I find that I have been surprisingly relaxed. Of course I do get stressed from time to time about money, but who doesn't. It is almost weird to me to be living so calmly. School is keeping me very busy, but I think the really reason I have not been getting stressed out is because I am not having to worry about work and therefore I actually have time to focus on school and do all my homework and still have time to have a life and have fun. I have just gotten so use to having to juggle school and work and friends and it always seemed that work and friends came first so school just go pushed aside and I would do my homework and stuff right before class. It is so nice to not have to deal with that anymore! I am just loving the chance to live on my own, and even though it can often be lonely I just have to remind myself to ENJOY it while I can so that is what I am doing.

Be My Valentine

So valentines day was fun, not what we had originally planned, but we had fun anyways. We had planned to go to Outback (my favorite restaurant) for dinner then I have some movie tickets I got for Christmas so we were gonna go see Mall Cop after, then my mom gave me a little money so we could go out for dessert after. Then last night Jason and I decided that since it was going to be so busy at every restaurant that we would save some money and just make dinner and then go out for the rest of the evening after dinner. So today we went to Win Co and bought pork chops, stuff for cheesy potatoes, asparagus, and stuff for a salad. It turned out so good! I am so proud of myself... this is the first time that I have ever timed everything perfectly so that everything was done at just about the same time and it tasted very good! Then about halfway through me cooking dinner Jason's friend called and wanted to come over... I would have said no because of our plans, but this friend drives big rigs and we haven't gotten to hang out with him for like 2 months so we invited him over too. We decided not to go to the movies tonight and just stay in and watch movies on TV. Instead Jason said we could go to the movies this upcoming week to make up for it. I have to say I am a little disappointed that I didn't get my cheesecake I planned on having for dessert, but all in all it was a fun evening and we saved money by staying in and we had a good time hanging out with an old friend. I guess we'll just have to get my cheesecake when we go to the movies!

So I have a friend at school that we have all of our classes together so we are hanging out outside of class too. We have both decided that we want to be involved with school activities and not just the education aspect of it. So this past Thursday a club at school offered a free comedy show so we went, it was so much fun I am super glad that I have made this friend that wants to do the things that I want to do too, because I know that I would not go to something like that on my own.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Some people have absolutely no consideration at all!! How can people be so self centered, selfish, and rude?!!!! So since I don't have a job yet and my dad wants me to focus on school he told me that for the time being he will pay my half of the utilities so that I can pay off my bill and save up money and not be super stressed about finding a job or having to work full time instead of just part time. So that includes my comcast... phone, internet, AND cable. Anyways to the point... I had some friends over to hang out, see the house, and spend the night about a month ago. Well, I got a phone call tonight from my dad, not mad, but just telling me that he agreed to pay the comcast but that he's not gonna pay for anything ordered on pay per view... so I'm thinking well I watch movies on-demand... did I accidently order something that costs? Then he told me I have to pay him the $15 for the movie... so now I'm like I KNOW I didn't order that... So needless to say when he told me the date it was ordered and all the details... i know EXACTLY who it was and I am not to happy! How rude to order a movie on SOMEONE else's tv WITHOUT asking!!! and what pisses me off even more is that I know I'm gonna be stuck paying for it because they don't even have a job to pay for it and if they do pay for it it will only be because their parents give ME the money because if they gave it to this person I would never get it. It is just plain ridiculous! I just cannot believe the nerve of some people... and then when I confronted him about it he blamed it on his girlfriend... its like come on grow up! If I was at my friends house and Jason ordered something without asking and he wasn't gonna pay for it I would give my friend the money. Man all I can say about this is SOME PEOPLE!!!

Well the first 2 days of school have been really good. I am so excited for my classes. They will definetly keep me busy, but I think they will be a LOT of fun!!! 3 of my classes will be very time consuming and a lot of hard work, but I think they will be a lot of fun and I will learn a lot about these programs. 2 of my classes will be covering similar things so it will really reinforce what I am learning.

Birthday Madness

My dads birthday is this Friday and my mom and I have decided that we are going to make HOME MADE pizza. I have this wonderful pizza dough recipe that I I learned in my baking class and so we are going to make that first thing Friday morning. We want to use toppings that are a little more creative than just the basic combo or meat lovers pizza. If anyone has any ideas for some yummy toppings let me know.

EXCITED!!!

School starts tomorrow and I have finally reached the point of being truly excited. I was just preparing for the day... getting a copy of my class schedule, getting books together, checking to make sure I have all the books i will need, preparing lunch for tomorrow... when it hit me how much I am looking forward to this semester. It seems like I have been dreading it, but finally I am excited!!! i am taking FOUR classes for MY major!!! This is the first time that I will be taking so many classes that I actually WANT to take! Photoshop.... so looking forward to that one, I love to play with that program!... Visual Basics... I'm not quite sure what that will in tale but I still think it will be fun!... Introduction to Interior Design... probably wont be too exciting but next semesters classes will build on that so I guess I need it. and Introduction to Digital Design.... that one should be pretty interesting and intense because I will be learning 3 different design programs in that class. Needless to say it should be an exciting semester!!!!!!!!!! WISH ME LUCK!
