Creepin on Blogs

What I realized when I visited other people's blogs is that I write too much. A lot of people had a lot shorter entries than I did and were A LOT less formal, they didn't even capitalize everything. So I think I won't write so much anymore. So first I started looking at some of my friend's blogs and then I decided that I was way to lazy to actually read some them, so then I decided to look for blogs that had picture's on them, I figured it would make this all a lot more interesting. So the first person's blog that I came to was Eric's he had picture's of Nick and him sleeping in a computer lab, so of course I read the story and was really jealous that they slept there and I didn't do anything half as fun as that, I also might want to try that someday even though I'm not in any engineering classes, but I figure there are ways to get around that, all you need is friends in the right places. And after being satisfied with reading that adventure, I was done with my blog exploring.

Resistance in My Life

The greatest resistance I have had to deal with is either the amount of reading for my classes and finding time to do it, or just scraping up enough money to get through daily life living on my own. I have a lot of reading this semester from either text books or articles that are so jammed packed with old English it makes my head want to explode. I usually get easily bored with the readings and tend to fall asleep after a few paragraphs. However, most of this reading is what leads to a successful test grade, especially with those challenging American Heritage exams. So it is essential. To overcome this fault that I have I try to schedule times that I do my reading, definitely not late at night or in my bed. I also start my readings a lot earlier than I need to have them read by so that if I can't take it anymore or I do fall asleep that I will still have time to finish it later. So far those tactics have been successful although I'm still not perfect at doing all my reading assignments. But I have years to perfect that! My other source of resistance is the money issue. I'm just a poor college student that needs to be able to pay all the expenses. So I got a job and while that doesn't always come through all the way I know that if I keep on working hard and pay my tithing that somehow I will have enough to make it and I have faith that that is true.

Halloween Depression

This year's Halloween is mostly likely the worst Halloween I have ever had. It even beat the year when my sister and I had never decided what we wanted to be for Halloween, and our procrastination lasted all the way until the night of, and they only thing we could be were brides using the outfits we had in our dress-up box. And that was pretty bad because the last thing I wanted to be was a bride, but I had to have a costume! However, this year was even worse. Every year up until now I have dressed up. I don't think that once you reach a certain age that you should stop dressing up for Halloween, you're never too old for fun, and plus everyone loves the one day in the year where you can dress up and be WHATEVER you want. But I didn't get to enjoy that pleasure. I work at the Creamery and I have specific shifts that I work reguraly every week and then one night a week I have to close. That switches off between every monday, wednesday, and friday. And since I must have had the worst luck there could be the closing shift of that week for me landed on friday the 31st. I was bummed the moment I learned that I had to work on Halloween. Then soon I changed in to the persistant person that I am and asked anyone and everyone if they would work for me on Halloween. Of course no one wants to give up their Halloween. So after a while of searching for a sub and having no luck, I went back into my depressed stage, and anyone that asked what I was going to be for Halloween I just told them that I planned on being a depressed creamery worker. Soon Halloween came closer and I never got into the spirit of it because I knew I wouldn't get a Halloween. I had to work from eight until one in the morning. The good part of the Halloween night was occupied with work. Since I was in my depressed state of feeling no Halloween spirit I didn't even think about that I could still dress up at work. I only thought of that during classes on the 31st and tried to throw something together but even then I had nothing, so I wore a pink sparkly shirt that was previously used as a genie costume and went to work. I told myself that even though I had to work I was going to be positive and try and have a good time. But honestly worked sucked. It was never busy and barely anyone came in, making it feel even more useless that I was there. I was angry that we couldn't close early. Anyway after the VERY long shift was over I went in search of some friends that were still celebrating. And I watched the last half of The Six Sense with them and then had a friend spend the night. But even though I stayed up pretty late I still had to wake up in the morning and work from eleven to five. So my whole weekend was painfully bombarded with work and I was exhasuted from it. But next year I will not make the same mistake. I will make sure that nothing can ruin my halloween, especially not for the second year in a row!
