Chronicles of a wayward child

So last night I decided to look through some of my old posts. I forgot how much I loved writing about meaningless things. Yes the majority of what I write is meaningless babble that won't affect you, but I don't care. I love reading over the little things.

Bloggity Blog Blog Blog

I haven't blogged in a while and I really just want to share my life right now and know that people can read it if they want. So college is pretty terrible this year, no lie none of my classes are all that amazing. I'm trying to get through it. I really do love college, but I wish I had about 5 hours more sleep on average to make it more enjoyable.

I also had a crush at the beginning of the year and that was great. Well that is until she found out that I liked her and then i found out she didn't like me. Things were definitely awkward for a while. They are much better and I'm sorta glad it didn't work out because she is hard to hold a conversation with sometimes.

I almost had to drop out of school 3 times. First at the beginning of the year and I fought to make my first payment with the intent of getting a job. Then I couldn't find a job, at all and I applied to well over 30 places in that 2 month period. I called and checked on applications and hiring all the time.

Last week I was told that I was going to be de-enrolled that Friday if I couldn't come up with a payment. They extended my deadline to today. I got a job last Tuesday and I start tomorrow. Today I was approved for an additional loan that cuts my payments from $590 a month to $68 a month and told that no matter what I wouldn't be dropped this semester. So all in all its been a roller coaster of stress and finally I'm able to be calm. I'm going to apply to live off campus next semester so keep your fingers crossed that it happens because I'm just really tired of dorm life.

Rachael Ray has nothing on me.

This summer I'm doing even more cooking than usual and really I love it. I go to the store and buy whatever and then make things. Things like skillet cobbler(personal recipe), chicken parmesan, chimichangas, chicken and dumplings, potato soup, yummy ham and egg biscuits(personal recipe) and beef stroganoff. I spend half my time coming up with these things. I always make stuff from scratch. I spend all 20 minutes of my shower contemplating the menu for the week. I should have gone to culinary arts school. I almost did.

I'm not dying

You may have noticed the lack of attention this blog has been getting, and I have several reasons for that. I kinda lack the motivation. I'm running another blog and its getting a ton of feedback, as opposed to this one that wallows in self-pity.. I'm in my eighth week of summer classes and at this point I'm just hanging on to sanity by a thread. I'm ready for a 5 week vacation before my fall semester kicks me in the balls. I really love these classes, but more than anything I need my vacation. I'm definitely feeling the stress levels rise.

Childhood games

We are learning all about indians today. I can't help but wonder if anyone in my class played cowboys and indians. Did people our age do that? I know I didn't. I definitely wanted to be a Ninja Turtle. I also played house, a lot. My sister was a bully.

Nighty night

The worst thing about being at college over the summer is that I can't just sneak out anytime I want. Yeah I did sneak out, to the back patio. At four in the morning. Just to look at the stars or sit on the front porch and watch the rain. Yeah those are the things I miss most about home. I know not exactly the most devious things. Nature just captivates me. The allure and danger of the night fascinates me.

Paperboy

Somebody asked me if I'd write for my schools newspaper the other day. They saw this blog and texted me. I have no idea who it was. Its a little laughable. I used to desperately want to write professionally. Now I just do it for fun on this blog. I can't see myself ever really writing for a newspaper. That just sounds too dull and dry.

Clueless?

So my prof is always saying things like "if you were doing" or "you guys probably don't know about this." She's always assuming that we don't know what she's talking about. As if this is the first time we are taking an American History course. Its just a little frustrating. I mean there are some things that I'm a little rusty on and other things I really don't know, but there are tons of things I actually know a lot about.
