Wow

Well I'm at home right now. Yeah home home... Orem. I should probably be studying for my big midterms next week and finishing all my French homework, but hey why not write a blog instead:) Speaking of French. Dude that's a pretty vigorous class this year. Before every class we have to read these 10-16 page papers in French about French literature. But it's actually kind of interesting. Like a French Humanities class. Sure there's lots of writing and reading comprehension but I think I actually have time for it this semester. I'm not taking nearly as many credit hours as I have in the past, but I'm still on campus a bunch... mostly working I guess. Work. Work is going okay I guess. The library isn't half as bad when you don't have a supervisor glaring down your throat all the time. Joanna was right about moving up on ladders. But the library is still the library. You know not as efficient as it could be and extremely dull--the typical library ramblings still exist(Ps did I tell you they told us to start taking books off the shelves randomly so the new shelvers would have more to shelve? Gosh! At least the shelving system we've devised on our floor doesn't allow us to have to deal with that "problem"). Anyway at least I get paid more. That's nice. I've also started being a ballet accompanist. Woah beans! Yeah. I feel way too incompetent for that. I stink, but hey they hired me. Too bad for them. It's a really good experience for me though. It can be stressful at times, but I'm learning a ton and I love sight reading. But pretty much ballet encompasses all my weaknesses on the piano, so all I can do is try my best. It's fantastic. Oh and I finally quit the Orem Library. :( I'll miss it. So will my retirement account. It was growing well. :) I could've planned my death by cancer a couple years earlier. Good old OPL. Sigh. Oh but I got a card from them in the mail today. It was really sweet. You know how sometimes you get the cards that are just like,"HAGS!"And you're like,"dude why d'you even write?" But this card actually had stuff in it worthwhile you know. People actually knew me. That was surprising. Well I guess I had been working there for... 3 1/2 years? Plus a butload of volunteering before that. They better have known me:) Jk. I'm looking forward to the free Saturdays though. Wait why am I telling you all this? I think someone forgot to write in her journal. Oh wait! Now I remember what I was going to write. I just realized that tonight will be the first night I've stayed overnight at my house by myself since I moved to Southridge. Weird eh? I'm probably not going to be home as often since I don't have the Orem library excuse anymore. Maybe I'll even start paying to do laundry. It's just strange. I'm almost turning into a real college student. Tonight I realized all I do when I come home is raid the refrigerator and do my laundry. But it's my house! Weird. Sometimes I almost feel like a guest. Everything changes. I still haven't gone upstairs to my room yet since... the beginning of last month? Geeze now I'm worrying what is in there. I better go check. Actually I'm just falling asleep so G'night. Wait it's Conference Weekend! Yay! Dude I could use a butload of inspiration. I'm pumped. G'night.Ps highlight of my day today: Tennis! Tennis! Tennis!:) Finalment! 'night 'night.
