Work...

So I'm currently working at bath and body works at minimum wage ($6.62 an hour) and the pay sucks but I love working there... And I end up doing great displays!!! (See picture) and I get applauded on their effectiveness when it comes to sales! But it's not bringing in the income needed so I've decided to apply to some other places.
The little stores aren't hiring so I've given in and gone and applied at the big names: Petsmart, Ross, Wal-mart, and K-mart... Please don't disown me!!! I have an interview at K-mart on the 31st. We'll see how that works out! Wish me luck!
I also thought I'd share a photo I took with all of you. Made me laugh!!!

Talk to you all later!!!

College fun

Last night was the much anticipated Jeff Dunham show. It was AMAZING and hilarious!!! I laughed till I cried. I was amazing. Lots of pictures were taken, and I'll post a couple at the end.
I also got my hair cut, not short like anticipated but I took 4 inches off, it's all I could... I chickened last minute. Atleast now it's manageable and pretty again.
Tonight I have Judicial Board training... wish me luck. I hope this is atleast a little bit fun, not that punishing fellow students is fun, but hopefully I'll make some friends!
My crab claw just keeps getting bigger! I hope he ddoesn't grow out of his tank, that would be bad, they told me he wouldn't get much bigger then an inch across, he's almosts 2 now. Eek!

The group (minus nick) with our mascot, Go Bobcats!!!


Peanut(my favorite!), and Jeff Dunham!!!
YAY!!!
*Youtube it!!!*


Nick, Jessia and I after the show.

Inaguration Freak Out

So as we all know, today is the historical day that will be forever remembered in my generations life time, the first colored president. Trust me, I'm just as glad as the next person that this barrier has been broken, and I feel that Obama is one of the best people who could have done it. I will admitt though I'm a little disapointed we still haven't had a woman as president. Oh well.
I had classes today which means I had to walk across campus. To my amazement there was graffiti, protesters, and advocates all standing along the mall (the main walk through campus). Chalk graffiti was scrawled outside of pretty much every building, all Anti Obama. People held signs with anti obama slogans...of course being in Montana people are freaking out about their gun rights. All I can say to that is, HE HAS MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ON HIS AGENDA THAN THE 2ND AMENDMENT!!! I mean, war, recession, ect doesn't that take priority before stripping the consititution? Not that he will but I'm just saying.
The sign I found most interesting was "BUSH3". Confused by this I had to stop and ask the man holding it what it ment. He said "He's just another pawn of the original bush administration" I did all I could to laugh and walked away. Wow.
I guess I didnt ever really think about how much controversy this would all cause...

Wow...

So last night my RA (resident advisor) for my floor in the dorm aproached me asking if I would be interested in the VP position for our floor. Well, of course I took it!!!
Being "VP" of the 8th floor means I serve on discipliary comittee (our judicial system) and help the RA plan activites ect. I'm so excited to be involved!!!

Woo Weekend!!!

So the weekend has come, and is nearly over! Well, theres no class tomorrow for MLK Day, so we've got one more day.
Lets see whats happened this weekend.
Hung out with friends friday night! I was so excited to hav my first "big" social experience of college! We watched movies, ate popcorn, and did college "things"! It was so much fun. It was cool because the friends I was with are a couple who live in my dorm. The girl lives on my floor, and her boyfriend lives on the 2nd floor (I live on the 8th floor). We enjoyed watching two comedians and a movie. Stayed up till 3am when i left to go back up to my room. Well when I got back to my room I was all hyped up from all the candy and pop that I was up till 6am. To say the least my sleep cycle got a little screwey. Saturday I got up at 10am, went back to sleep at about 11am got back up at 4pm when my friends came by to see what I wanted to do. It was pretty sweet. Saturday night was the same deal, but I got up at about 12am. Got to bed around 3.
I applied for a job at the local hospital this weekend. The job title is "Switch board operator". I'm hoping for a call this week!! WISH ME LUCK!!!
Worked tonight!!! It was pretty exciting to finally have another shift at Bath and Body Works. BY THE WAY IF ANYONE WANTS BATH AND BODY WORKS PRODUCTS: BUY NOW!!! There's new packaging, so all the old stuff is super cheap right now! Anyways, so we're redoing all the floorsets and putting up all the new packaging and pulling down all the old ones. Out of no where one of the girls tosses a bottle of body spray into a box on the shelf infront of me, of course it explodes. I'm covered in this god awful body spray that I already hated the smell of (Sea Island Cotton). Can I just say that body spray burns the eyes and the skin around the eyes like nothing else in this world... Oh my god it hurt so bad. I ran into the bathroom and washed out my eyes. Well I then reeked of this god awful body spray... so I went home, the windows down (it's like 20* outside!) in my truck. I finally get up to the shower, and of course no matter how many times I wash my hair I can't get the smell out. So as I sit here and write the smell of Sea Island Cotton haunts me and my head continues to pound no matter how much Naproxen I take.
So tomorrows plans of going to Yellowstone National Park have been put on hold because of weather. I'll get down there eventually!!! Sounds like Jessica and I are going to have a girls day, which will be fun. We'll probably scrap book.. I've got so many pictures to get scrap booked away!
Well thats all I have to say for now! Hugs and kisses to all!

First Day of Classes

Today I had both of my classes (yes I'm only taking two and I feel like a slacker). They both went well. My math class is well math... boring. I'll hopefully be done in about 4 weeks. I'll keep you posted. My other class is "University Seminar". Basically, we learn how to speak and read critically. Meh. But it'll be ok I think. I have 100 pages of Plato to read this weekend! Wooho!!! Hahaha. Ok, maybe I'm not really that excited but I don't think it will be that bad.
So here's something totally cool: I bought a book first semester for about $13, I sold it back to the Bookstore, they gave me $17!!! Who knew books gained value!!! Water damaged and all!!! Well I thought that was cool because then I could afford to buy my Plato book!
Today, has been a day of money... I sold my fridge to a friend and he payed me for it today. $80!!! Yay for money! It's all going into my savings so its going to good use eventually.
Lets see... anything else?
OH YEAH!
I'm cutting my hair again. Short. Like Sophomore year of high school short. I'm really excited. It'll cut down on shampoo/conditioner costs, and headaches!!! I'm excited and a little nervous. This will be happening within the next month or so.
I don't really have anything else to say. I'm going out with friends tomorrow... Seeing Jeff Dunham (the comedian) live next week with Kim (girl on my floor).
I'll write again over the weekend!

Day one!!!!

Hello Family and Friends!!!
I've opted to make a blog so that I can keep everyone informed of whats going on in my life! Especially now that I'm out of the house and living in Bozeman, Montana (700 miles away!!!)
So let me get you all up to speed!!!
I've started college at Montana State University, I'm in my second semester as a part time student. I absolutley hate going part time, I'm taking two classes... I'M SO BORED!!! My major is Nursing and possibly minoring in Women's Studies. I live in the dorm with a roommate (Sierra). We get along quite well, but she only just moved in so I'm reserving any judgement (I jumped to conclusions with my last roommate and it was a disaster).
I work part time at Bath and Body Works, it's not bringing in any money by the way. My last paycheck was $6.91... Pathetic!!! So, this weekend I will be hunting for another job or four. Wish me luck.
I don't have a lot more to say... I'll keep you updated as things go on. The picture above is one I took tonight. It's absolutley amazing sunset. Enjoy!!!
xoxo
