I just want to begin this day with:
I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE.

Okay, now that that's out of my system.....

Last Thursday I pulled a great feat and fell for the first time on my rollerblades, thereby creating a nice, big, red strawberry right under my right butt cheek. I finished what I was doing (returning keys to the apartment I stayed in a bit this summer) and then went to the peeps in Chi Alpha who were passing out snow cones. I showed one of the interns and had to miss most of my last class (I was an hour late--yeah, I know, I still went? what a dork) and he was like,"Aw, man, Nicholette, you better go to Taylor." The secretary was like, "Okay, Dr. Hubbard will be with you in a little bit. Have a seat....if you can?" He he. Very funny. Hmmmm, somehow I LOST weight in Canada, I discovered. How did that happen? As described in this blog, I was a big pig there. Don't know. I look exactly the same so it's not exactly something to be excited about.

I am amazingly getting by with no books still for my classes. It's great!!! I wonder how much longer I can go.....I just finished the Financial Aid stuff today, they finally got my FAFSA through. Who knows when the money will come in. Man, I hope I get a Pell Grant. That would be great. I am so tired of taking out loans, and I still have another year after this!!! Maybe I will start picking up the pace and take 19 hours the next couple semesters, like my pal Melissa Glazebrook. She's gonna be out of school a semester earlier than usual cause she just is so gung-ho. Not me. Chillin' with 14 hours tops per semester since I started school. It's starting to dawn on me that all my old friends are going away soon. Most of the people I have been friends with the last couple of years are graduating this coming May or sooner. Yikes!!! That makes me sad. As it does hearing other friends talk about moving to other countries. Mel, if you're reading this, looks like its just gonna be you and me after school. I dunno. It saddens me. At least God has blessed me with younger friends.

I have no idea what I want to do after school. No clue. I mean, I would love to live in California, or New Mexico. I know those are tops on my list. I would also like to live in France or a French-speaking country in Africa though, to get the French down. That would be great. If a man comes into my life and that changes hey that's cool, but it's not lookin' like that's gonna happen. So.....I am wonderin and waiting. I have been trying not to focus on that too much but I do need to have an IDEA sometime soon, or what am I gonna do?

(this one may not be exact, as I can't remember what Kronk says for sure before the accounts part.) ;)

Welp, the first week of school is already over and so much seems to have happened. And I returned to Crapplebee's. I haven't worked for seven weeks; I think that is the longest I have gone without working since I was seventeen years old and moved back up to Springfield. Hmmm. That stinks. But, hey, I need money. I am going to start job hunting though, cause I need to get out of there. And it's high time I found a job that relates to my major. But it is hard to leave. Whenever I work there I realize that there are all these people I know really well now and I love them so much, I feel like I want to get them all a card and tell them how much I care about each one of 'em, but I would probably really weird them out. Seriously, I don't think a lot of them would know what to do. Hmmmmm. And then, of course, the others I didn't get a card would be like,"Nicholette! Why didn't you get ME a card? Don't you love ME?" Yeah. Don't know that it would work out. Maybe I should do it in secret when I leave. Dude, there are so many lost souls in my workplace.

I went and saw an AWESOME concert last night, with bands 'Embodyment,' 'Blindside,' and 'Project 86.' It was pretty sweet. I went with my pal Phil and his friend Wes, and a couple with the guy having the name Kelly. The girl didn't tell me her name when I introduced myself. Yeah, I know, I should have asked it later since I was around her most of the night but hey, I'm retarded like that. Anyways, I bought the 'Embodyment' and 'Blindside' cds, they were each only $10. Oh yeah! They rock. I like 'em so much cause they're hard like P.O.D. My P.O.D. cd was like the only hard cd I had. It was about 130 degrees Farenheit in that warehouse, I am dead serious. And when the music started it just got hotter. When I first walked in there I felt like I was gonna faint or not be able to breath. Finally after the first band they opened up the warehouse door and it cooled off a bit, but the problem was that I was wearing the outfit I wore to church (never got home before I left) and that was jeans and a nice shirt I have. I was completely soaked. With my own sweat. Ew. :) So I got home at 2 and took a shower and conked out.

"Dude, hold the burritos."--Phil, last night on the ride home

"Uh, spooning?"-Kelly's answer to our question,"What are you guys doing back there?"
