So...um...yeah...

I have learned that I should never say when I'm going to post something because it's usually like three days later than I ever say!

Also, I have learned that titles for posts are hard. Like if something exciting happened or I have big news then I know how to title it, but if I really am just posting about what's happened in my life then I have no clue what to call it. So...don't listen to my titles to know what these are going to be written about because the title doesn't quite follow my actual thoughts!

Let's see...what's been happening??

Well, I started classes at Augustana for the Spring Semester! I like it a lot!! My religion class is interesting so far. The class is already lost so you know that's a good start! :) She gave us an article that no one could understand! I don't think that's a good start -- but she said it will get easier... My entire class is 18, maybe 19, so I'm old. They're all freshmen and she talks about how this class will "prepare them for their college experience" and "teach them how to read and save time" I was like well I already did this -- so sometimes its a bit awkward! Shouldn't be too bad of a class though! Second class is American Sign Language 2. I got in trouble on the first day for talking! You know that's a good sign! The teacher is alright, but she is a sloppy signer and she signs really fast so most of the time the class has no idea what she's talking about! I enjoy it though!! My other class is Visual Gestural Communication. It's a fun class! We try and talk with one another with gestures. We've only met once, but it was fun!! And my final class is called Senior Capstone: Music Matters. We go through and talk about music? HA! We have 3 professors and it's a 3 hour class, but on the first day we really didn't do much. The professors just explained what the class will be like. We do have a lot of homework for that class though so that sucks! Overall, I'm really excited to get into the swing of things for class.

I have been working a lot lately. I'm hoping that I can work a lot now and then start to calm down as the semester progresses. With the way things are looking I might not have a job in the future so I should work now and get the money! (It's not because of anything I did!) Business at Curves is very slow. For instance, I worked yesterday 6am - 10:30 and there were only two people here. Today I have been working since 6am and there has only been one person. There will probably be a few more that come in around 8:30 - 9:30, but then a break again. I'm not sure what's going on, but this place is losing people left and right. Maybe it's because I started working here?? Yikes! Scary thought!! It's not such a bad job just sitting here, but who really wants to get up at 6am for one person to come in...seems pointless to me!!

As for Coaching -- let's not really get started with that. I have essentially taken over as head coach without the benefits of a head coach. I have been to every tournament and alone for that part. I love working with the students, don't get me wrong, but it's starting to frustrate me. The students aren't working together well, the head coach doesn't care and our other assistant is off in la-la land. Ugh...anyway...it's almost over! June can't come soon enough!

Well, this weekend is the big Valentines Day! Do I have plans? Oh of course not! I honestly don't really believe the hype of Valentines Day of flowers, candy, romance blah blah blah...what do I believe? That someone should something special for their loved one. My "significant other" (who knows what we are right now) has yet to ask me to do anything. I wouldn't even mind if we ordered pizza and watched a movie, or if he made me dinner and we just hung out. I don't want to go out (people are crazy) and I don't want flowers or candy. A homemade card would mean more to me than something he could buy. I know communication between a couple is important, but Valentines Day isn't something I should have to tell you how to do. For the three days that it took him to "win" me back after our fight -- well that's gone out the window. I really haven't seen any changes so I have kind of just let things go. I'm tired of fighting or caring if he doesn't...we'll see what happens!

Well now that I have complained forever...what else??

Grandma is doing alright. She had a few bad days in there, but it looks as though she is getting better now that she is at a place that has better support and care! They are saying it looks as though she will be moving to an assisted living place soon so that is very exciting!! I went and saw her last night and I'm pretty sure she didn't really know who I was. She had a nice conversation with us though. She did tell us that she was busy all day because she was building a moat and then she got mad at mom so she told mom she was going to put her (mom) in the moat so she could drown! I don't know where any of that came from, but it was interesting! She is doing better though and that's all we can ask for!!

I was just informed class was cancelled for the day so it looks as though it will be a day full of work! I'll b at Curves til 10:30 and then at RHS coaching from 1 -3 and back to curves from 3:30 - 8. Busy!!

Hope all have a great day!

Enjoy!
