So I figure the first of the year would be a good time to update after 4 months of nothingness.
The past year was alright ... a lot of shitty things happened but I think I learned a lot about myself (cliche, I know, sorry) and a lot about who my friends are.
Basically, a huge new years resolution of mine is to not harbor hostility or anger over the things that happened in the past. Some people are just ... basically heartless and inconsiderate.. and I have to deal with that.
I miss when I was younger and things were simpler. Growing up really does suck. That's probably why I enjoy my time with little kids so much.
On that note, I'm still working at The Learning Center on my breaks. I'm not good at dealing with change so the fact that everything is so different there is really taking some getting used to. My little ones that I've had for so long are really growing up... a lot of them are in pre-school now. :-/ Still missing the way things used to be... I'm working there for the rest of break, though. Christine will be out for a week and a half because her son has to go in for surgery on Monday, so I'm working 9-6:30 every day for her.
They're moving to the new school around March. The move should be interesting. I don't know if I'll be there much longer. I should probably be doing the internship thing.. working toward my real future or something. Too bad I don't know what that is yet.
I did, however, declare a major this year. I declared my English major with a concentration on creative writing a few months ago. When I get back to school, I'll declare my second major which is student designed... it'll be on theater and film production. I think the fact that I can't just handle doing one major is a problem. Overachieving is a pain in the ass.
At least I did fairly well this year... I think. Final grades haven't come out yet but I know I got a B+ in psych, which I thought I was getting a D in. Theater is an automatic A and I did really well in Spanish despite the fact that I can't speak a word of it... That probably had something to do with the fact that my class consisted of basically the entire hockey team, and they made me look brilliant. I took an incomplete in creative writing... which is actually the work I'm avoiding right now. Next semester I'll be done with my gen eds, I only have math left to do. Then I have to work towards the majors. :-/ I'm two credits short of a full class load next semester too thanks to my damn lighting design course that only meets 7 times total yet I have to block out every single wednesday and monday from 1-4 for it. Stupid class.
On happier notes, I am completely and totally in love with the new boyfriend. Well ... new as of September. New to the live journal scene. I still feel terrible about the things that happened with the last boyfriend and the confusion over the break up, but he and I are doing relatively well I guess. We're at least civil to each other? Plus, he owes me for doing lighting design on his horrible show last semester. ;-)
I've never been in a relationship this good and it's certainly very new to me. I'm incredibly happy though, and miss him tons. We had an amazing Christmas Eve together and I can't wait to get back to him. I think I'm going back a weekend early to school since he has to be there for the whole week before school begins.
In other news, the parents are slightly more bearable than they used to be, though being home all vacation isn't so thrilling. It's annoying adjusting to going from not having any rules or having to answer to anyone to having to call home all the time and report on my every move. I really just wish the mother would stop being so ridiculously overprotective. I don't know how much longer I can handle it.
But now my food is here and my long, rambling, unimportant, uninformative, incredibly boring update is over. Perhaps you'll hear from me again in another four months.

I really don't have time to update... but we're going to pretend, because I also really don't want to write my story for English tomorrow.
OKAY, SO. I don't even think I can remember everything that's new since I last updated. Ummmm I'm back at Conn. I miss my kids terribly, and my train crew too. I went back to visit the little ones last week though because my parents gave me tickets to the opening pats game, which was AMAZING. I went with Rebecca and we had a fantabulous time, despite the fact that we were both exhausted because we had both driven from school like an hour before the game. I missed Psych the next day, but it was well worth it. I went into work on Friday before I went back to school to visit and Morgan played the little drama queen. Apparently she's mad at me for leaving, so she cried like I've never heard I child cry before and I had to stay until she fell asleep for nap time. This made me late getting back to school for rehearsal.
Yes, rehearsal. Because I am a complete moron, I am SMing the first mainstage this year... which takes up all the time in the world. It's a cute show, though. It's called Smash and is relatively modern. The cast is amazing, too. We all have a good time. Today was Andrew's birthday so Louise and I spent half of rehearsal creating little paper cakes and hats and found two tootsie rolls in Donna's office for his presents. Poor Andrew, a 4 hour rehearsal on his 21st birthday.
For my birthday my parents came to visit me the day after. They gaved me a chair and a table and I feel like they gave me something else that I can't remember. Anyway, it's nice not sitting in the gross wooden chair anymore. I've been told by Sara and Will that my birthday present from them will be arriving in November. I WONDER what it could be. They also got me pizza and we watched a movie, but Will fell asleep. He has made it into a habit to abandon me as of late. :-P Ryan gaved me a card and a cupcake on my birthday, but also claims he left my present at home. The cupcake was massively cute, though, as I was tricked into going to his room to blow out the candle.
Ummmm I hate mondays. Today I had psych lecture at 9:30, a department meeting at 10:45, Spanish at 11:30, theater at 1, a production meeting at 4:30, psych lab at 6 and rehearsal at 7, which ran into class so I was late for that. Bad stage manager! I think I was in my room for about 35 seconds total all day. Yucky. Tomorrow I only have English and rehearsal, but the fact that I have not finished my story yet does not make the day look promising.
And on WEDNESDAY I have 3 classes and then I'm going to the Yale Rep with my 141 class to see The Clean House, which looks really fun. I have a love-hate relationship with 141.
Ummmm I spent 4 hours on saturday with Lauren at leadership day (boooo... to leadership day, not Lauren) which resulted in my getting a card that allows me to charge things to group art attacks school fund (yay!) People shouldn't let me have those sorts of things.
Sara and I have had a fantastic time re-bonding and re-establishing last years games. The apprentice has begun again, and we tape it as I'm at rehearsal while it's on, then we have an apprentice party at 10! Last week we made Will join us and played some strange board game that involved him taking my seat stealing my drinks. What was that about?!
I get to go home for a few days starting October 13th! Hopefully I can work for a bit then, as I don't even have time to do any work for money here. Booo. I'm poor. My life will continue to be obnoxiously hectic until the 9th, which is the last day of Smash... but I suppose I don't mind. I prefer being busy. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I don't have 3-5 hour rehearsals every day... actually I do. I'll be designing lights for Electra (ewcoughew). So COME SEE SMASH!! October 7th, 8th, and 9th at 8 and the 9th at 2. Yay fun!!!
The Fresh Prince has been added to the Nick At Night line-up, which excites me, as I am unable to go to bed before 3 these days. Also, it is wrongly cold out. Make it go away!
I'm sure billions of other things are new, but I cannot think of them, and my finger hurts, so I shall stop typing. The cover story Sara has come up with for the finger thing is that I got attacked by a squirrel. It's actually somewhat feasible considering the squirrels' personalities and boldness around here. It's cool, 'cause her bruise is from walking into a side mirror on a car. Hah, we're so broken.
'Tis all for now! PS Congratulate me on finally updating!!!!<3

Yesterday I went shopping with my mummy for college stuff. I think I finished off my list. :-D I got a carpet, another bedspread :-x, a lamp, a refrigerator, sheets, and a blanket. Yay!! No more thinking about college for ... at least a week. That's right.
At BJ's my mom was once again making fun of me for talking like a two year old, as I tend to do these days and my reply, once again, was that I spend 50 hours a week with them so she can't expect much. Just as I finished the usual reply, I turned to corner to find Cassie ... one of the school-aged kids, and groaned loud enough to get her and her parents' attention(oops?). She then ran over to me hugged me and I pretended to be interested in the 3 min conversation, then I ran away. Weekends to myself, please?
Following Bj's we went to Target, then Home Goods. I am aware that the three mentioned a few entries ago continue to read my journal, in fact two have read it within the past 2 1/2 hours, but I no longer care. At Home Goods I ran into Matt's mother and sister, Laura. I turned to my mom and told her that I saw his mother, to which she said "okay, let's go" but I said no. I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't think I should be running from anyone. My mom said that as soon as Laura saw us, she ran to her mother and they both walked in the opposite direction from us. My mom laughed somewhat loud, which was kind of irksome, as it's not a competition... she said we should go again, but we had come for stuff and I wasn't leaving without it, nor was I leaving without saying hello to them. Wasn't going out of my way for it though. About three minutes later I came across Laura, who pretended she hadn't seen me the whole time by using the "oh, hi!" .. but I sort of did the same, so whatever... social propriety, I guess. She seems to be doing well at school, so I am happy for her in that respect. However after seeing everything that has happened with all of them, I know that as soon as we finished talking, she went to her mother, told her everything about it... perhaps with a few ad libs to make me look dumb and needy somehow, then they told the rest of the family + Lauren and all had a good laugh. The question is: why? I broke up with him. I tried to maintain a civil relationship with him, which he seemed to want too until something apparently happened to him that made him believe I was a terrible girlfriend for two years. What did I do that was so terrible? I was never anything but nice and supportive...I was always there when I was needed... I knew his interests, tried to take part in them and support him in them. I never would intentionally hurt anyone, and I can't believe that these people put so much time and energy into hurting me. Granted, it worked for a long time, but still... why would you waste your time with it? I was more than willing to be friends with the new girlfriend. Is it my fault that she was insecure? I called him only in response to his trying to get in contact with me... and apparently this made me a stalker? Can someone please explain to me why I have been made into the bad person in this because I just don't understand. At any rate, if this confrontation provided a humorous anecdote for dinner, fantastic, but I do wish everyone involved would grow up and stop treating the whole thing like a middle-school cat fight. Please, just try to be mature. You do that while I continue to wonder what I did wrong. None of this should have happened. I should not have to feel guilty and tense when I see my ex-boyfriend's family members in a store. It makes me angry that it has to be this way.
Now that that's off my mind - after Home Goods, where I got the BEST blanket, we made a quick stop at Home Depot then I went home, where Ashly and Ken picked me up for dinner, PUZZLES, and then Brian's "gathering" where Ashly left massively early and Ken kicked me out not long after because I was already gone and he wanted to get drunk. Selfish Ken. Nono. Just kidding, I love him - it was his turn. :-D
I then came home, attempted to carry on intelligent conversation with my dad and passed out in bed... possibly having done a few other things in between. It's too bad all life situations can't be like that .. people just sitting around, listening to music, laughing - no one caring who is together, who has done what to another, scheming, backstabbing, lying. Why do the terrible people have to ruin the outlook on all when there are the few decent ones remaining?
Last night was a good night, though. Thanks for being the DD.

Wow.. I just slept 17 hours. Apparently I was tired. I came home after work last night and cleaned my room and layed down on my bed telling myself I could take a 20 min nap before I got up and made dinner for myself. .... At 11:30 my phone rang and woke me up. I talked for about 3 minutes then went back to sleep until now. I am currently rather hungry but I don't feel like moving just yet.
Today I just don't want to do anything. I'm really exhausted. I don't quite know why.
I leave to go back to school in 23 days 19 hours and 20 minutes. I'll miss my kids lots again. :-( Morgan is once again on vacation this week. It's a nice break from her. Jordan is back from being sick, though... he's quite cute.
Next week Cindy is on vacation which means that I don't have to go on any field trips and I get my own classroom in the afternoons. Yay! Well, with Krissy, but that'll be fine.
On Wednesday I went out with my boss and Victoria to TJ's, which was interesting. Afterwards Vicky FORCED me to highlight her hair very orange, which I have still yet to see the results of as I left before it dried. When I got back into my car I had about 6 missed calls and voicemails from Ashly and Ken. Granted, I was rather late. I got to Ashly's with 3 mins to spare for Southpark, though. Go me. She kicked us out at 10:30 :-P then I drove to Framingham with Ken to pick up his car that he forgot about at work after going to Boston. Silly Ken.
I need soooo much stuff for my dorm room that I'm just too lazy to go out and get. I still need a carpet, a fridge, sheets, a light, and a bunch of other random crap. Yay for having my own room next year but boooo for the realization that I have to buy so much more stuff that my roomates previously provided.
And now I suppose it's time to get off my bottom and scrounge up some food. 'Til next time.

Todaaay I woke up at 6 and went to work at 7:30 and worked 'til 4:30 and went to class at 5:30, which was supposed to end at 8:30 but my professor isn't the quickest one ever and at 7:30 went, "oh! it appears we're out of time" and ended class. No one complained. NO MORE CLASS YAY! I even finished my papers, aren't we proud of me?
Ummm I decided to list my favorite and least favorite parts of el concierto de dispatch... in no particular order - draw your own conclusions
- splitting up with most of our group
- random sweaty guys rubbing up against me with no shirts on
- other peoples' paint flaking off on me
- when Chad forgot half the words and chords to "Hey...Hey..." and the crowd had to help him out a little
- when Braddigan tripped over about 16 things on stage
- randomly meeting Kip while walking
- getting hit in the head with water bottles
- sneaking our way up to the fourth row for 95% of the concert
- realizing that there were 100,000 people behind us
- being stuck next to the only 3 person mosh pit in the entire concert
- getting kicked in the head by crowd surfers .. again
- pissing off the girls that we got in front of :-D
- being cheered on and helped out by the guys on our path to the front
- having water poured on us 30 different times... poor crew
- when two girls pushed their way past us, telling everyone "it's okay, we're together" then proceeding to make out with each other ... and the sketchy guy following them
- 3 1/2 hours of fanstastical music - oh, you're jealous
I feel like I have plans this week that I just can't seem to remember. Please remind me of them if you read this and my plans are with you.
Oh and also, Matt, Lauren, and Laura should all really stop reading my journal. The abnormal interest in my life is getting a bit stalkerish and apparently the subtle hints just aren't getting through. Thanks! ;-)
