8:15AM in the Morning

So, I've been saying ALL Fall that I was going to make the trek over to Whitewater to watch some of the competition this year. Well....

It's supposed to be cold and rainy at the same time and I just don't do cold and rainy. Blah! Plus, if it is raining, that will push the competition inside and that is usually WAY too loud.

So, I'm being a jerkhole and staying home. But, I will think that you're all awesome and I wish you the best of luck. I'll definitely be thinking of you.


So, the Cards are in the World Series (again). All I can think about is 2004 when they were SO hot going in and were SURE to give the Red Sox a good run and then they folded faster than Superman on laundry day. 4 games and out. But, it was fun watching Maggie freak out and then having to distract her from the game by saying stupid shit.
I did try to call her last night to see which game she's going to, but she didn't answer the phone. Which was strange, because the game had JUST ended, and she's so hard core that she should have been watching.

I'm going for a nice relaxing weekend here, and then kind of a crappy week next week. I start working part time at the front desk for RE and part time in accounting. Which is okay. I figured it was that or I was going to be asked to go back to part time or WORSE, I'd be let go for lack of work. Which is hardly fair because one person shouldn't even be working in there and the other I KNOW they were going to fire before the old boss left. Suddenly, I'm the expendable one. Actually, the one that shouldn't really be in the department is the one that I like -- she can stay. The other one I haven't really liked all that much. They are both a little dumb, but she is MAJORLY dumb. 2+2 is 4. 2+2 is 4.


I also am officially back in graduate school again. I got my packet of information yesterday. I only have to take 2 background courses (as they call them), but I should probably take the finance one again, because I got a C-, but I really didn't learn anything. I'm going to try to set up a meeting with my first advisor to ask him about that and how I go about getting a actual major advisor. The process seems confusing to me -- why don't they just assign me a professor/advisor. Oh well.

I'm really looking forward to this. I do like school and I'm sure in a couple months, I'll be complaining about having to drive down there and what not. But, I am excited. I really think that this will be the thing that can get me where I want to be. And I'm not taking out millions of dollars in student loans. Although I WAS thinking of doing that and then paying off other student loans with that money. Kind of like consolidation. I probably will not however.

I also did NOT get the MSO job (did I write about this?...I don't remember). They EMAILED me. WHAT is up with THAT? That's fine. I really wasn't sure about working there so much anyway. And that is okay. My phone interview, in retrospect, was only okay. It could have gone better. Still waiting to hear back from eFunds about the other job. Although, on my way out, it seemed like that was probably a bust too. More interviews and I'll call you in a couple weeks? Seems like the only reason they interviewed me was cause of my dad and not because they thought that I was qualified, which is more irritating than anything. Don't do me or him favors. If you think that I'm qualified, then interview me. If not, then don't waste my time please.

Anyway, I have to go to work now. Which I really wish I could stay home. Oh well. Last Friday for a while that I have to drive out to Hartland. Starting next week, I work Fridays in Brookfield again. Sweet.

I ALSO turn 27 this upcoming week. Send me gifts and cards please. I actually had a dream last night that Adam Boll and Colin Gilliland were both trying to make me pink birthday cake. Adam was making some elaborate creation with pink frosting and Colin was making fluffy pink cake in square muffin tins and was using, like, tie-dyed frosting.

So, on that note, let's start the weekend!!!! :)
