I FINALLY got a break from my job in TSYS for six days. oh my god. That was the hardest thing I've ever done. =_=;

It took forever and a day because of the fact that I was trying to become a sort of secretary for my master sergeant. WELL it turns out the my master sergeant needed me next week for 30 OCT, 31 OCT, 01 Nov, and my drill for 02 Nov to 04 NOV. The only day I have to work next week is Monday and that's just for seven hours instead of the usual five.

Moving on. I get back into contact with one of my friends from basic training. It was so funny because we made fun of the fact that I was the cry baby of the platoon. Which really didn't matter now because I NOW have the power to carry on. Yes people I am still a softy at heart. He's still here in Columbus/Ft. Benning. I was surprised he even answered my e-mail. The funny thing was that he would say the same things that Riseling would say, but they were true. MEANING that Riseling lied the entire time. My friend 2Lt Balp-Reyes works in TRADOC. He even spoke of having me witness a bunch of items. I love having family/friends in high places. He's writing a letter of recommendation for me. Thank God.

But that's how this month ended. On a good note. Started on a bad note, ended on a good one.

Are things looking up for you?

I'm on the verge of going absolutely nowhere with college, having to drop worthless classes and lucking out with insanely stupid teachers, etc, so I'd say no. Things aren't up or down, they're going nowhere.

I don't like my job enough to work more than 2 days (the weekends) anymore, because of this I'm not getting my raise that was promised to me for the last 6th months.

I don't have enough money nor enough friends around to move out with, which I'd love to. I'm 20 years old and kind of ready for my own life. Still being treated like a kid at times with family is annoying.

Grandparents think college is the most important thing in the world. That's all we talk about, for the last 2 years or so, in which I've accomplished nothing really. On top of this its all about Christianity and whatnot, which, I just don't see myself as much of a religious person anymore. Haven't been to church in years.

My messed up neck from my car wreck is catching up on me. I missed a chiropractic appointment about a month or two ago and I basically have stiff necks on a daily basis. I'll probably go in again soon, but this just means MORE MONEY! And with parents in dept, having to pay for my own tuition, etc, its annoying.

Still a struggling hopeless romantic.

I guess its awesome that I'm working out and getting somewhat ripped, you could say. Great.

Wow.

I'm in the belief I need to go to KU.

Well at the rate things are going at the moment with my new job, the answer is no. Im having a little rough time learning the abbreviations, call-outs, and etc. But once I can learn what Waffle House serves, the abbreviations, Prices, and call out names. Everything will be looking up for me. Cause according to that place I work in, alot of old people are regulars, and they give pretty damn good tips.

But its a little too early to be saying that really. Right now im just a little worried about it, but I know things will get better.

I suppose things are making a gradual climb.

After finally realizing that I can transfer out when I finish this math class next semester, I'm not feeling so hopeless about school lately.

I've more than felt Xeo's pain about school. I'm still sore.

I need a road trip. BADLY.

Well I spoke too soon about my job. Yesterday I actually did very well during my job, and I could have made 56 Dollars in Tips...and that was a slow day! =O

So next week is planned that I have my own section. I honestly cant wait.

Zabuza's coming down here for Christmas and Zoso and I are heading back up to San Jose with him and flying back.

Not sure what we'll be doing in the area or if it's possible to head over to Petaluma, but we'll be up there. We might spend time in San Francisco, but again I'm not sure.

Thanksgiving, Zoso and I are roadtripping to Arizona to see his mother and the rest of his family. I'll be driving a lot of the trip. Stellar.

Hmmmm....I nearly forgotten why I fell in love with this place. People to identify with and such. Teehee. Just about everything said so far struck me as a sort of similarity. <3 I dunno about anyone else, but no matter how bad things get, I always felt that feeling alone was the worst of it.

Anywho...might as well get the emo stuff out of the way first. Most of it is behind me, but essential to why I'm feeling so awesome now.

Injuries that I've sustained since I was a little kid have been creeping up on me as well. Keeping my blood sugar in check has become nearly impossible as well. My health insurance doesn't kick in until January though, so the only thing I can do right now is do my best to take care of myself. I can't afford to really do anything without insurance anyways. Plus, I need a lot of work on my mouth. The wisdom teeth have got to go, and I need quite a few root canals. I officially have a hockey player's mouth. Teehee.

Family life...taking them one day at a time really. As usual, they're nothing but trouble. Now they're pressuring me to join the FBI. **sigh** Clearly I'm not cut out for the military, but my family is loaded with military personel and government workers, so they're getting on me about the FBI. **shrugs**

School blows. I hate community college. Well, the one I go to at least. I actually like the idea of community colleges. I'm just one person having a bad experience with it, so I'm not writing it off as a bad institution all together. I just personally don't like it. I'm a business major now, not a film major, and I HATE it. My heart isn't into school anymore. But after spending a year as a film major and getting my ass kicked...it's all connections really. Either you know people, have money, or preferably have both...and I have neither. However, one scapegoat I've found...the film industry is a business. Not many people tackle it that way. From what I've seen, and the majority of the things closest to me that I have access to...they see it as an art. While it is, the business outlook is overlooked, so I wanted to have an edge that not many people did. Something to set me apart when I go for the internships and jobs and such. I have proven my artistic capabilities, and with that ticket alone, I will basically be told to take a number and get in line. But if I have an expertise in something different, well...there's more of a shot.

That's pretty much it though. Things are REALLY improving. Work is getting stressful with the holidays and whatnot, but I just got a promotion AND a payraise and I'm still going to get the other pay raise that everyone gets every few months. So the stress and hard work is paying off.

Family...while there's a lot of shit as usual...I've finally learned how to do something. It took me my entire life up until now to get a good handle on how to do this. I have learned how to tune them all out. They're my family though. They love me and I love them, so I don't abandon them either. I've just learned how to tune them out, take one thing at a time with them. I've been a better help to them than ever too. Before they would take me down with them and their troubles, and in turn, that upset them as well. But now I'm a much more solid person to lean on since I've finally learned how to cater to the things that happen. The family is growing exponentially as well. Teehee. My younger sister got engaged. She had her baby back in March, but they finally decided to get engaged, and her fiance and I are pretty close. I've known him for a few years now and we both can honestly refer to each other as brother and sister and smile about it. So yay, brother-in-law number 4 for me. Teehee. It's just odd that my little sister is giving me a big brother. XD It's nice though. Vin, the bestest big brother anyone can ask for, is 10 years older than me. Timmy is only 3 years older than me, so we're kinda on the same level.

Lesse...school sucks, but I'm actually working things out and becoming quite pleased with the outcome.

Oh, and I've allowed myself to enter into a serious relationship. Something I haven't done in a LONG ass time and I must say, I've grown up quite a bit. It's getting easier for me to let someone in and become attached and not be scared of it. But even if things don't work out, ehh. Xeios and I promised each other we'd get married if we weren't married by the time we were 28 (anyone see "My Best Friend's Wedding?" Teehee)

K, s'enough from me. A lot of it is just rambling anyways. Point is, life sucks, but I'm honestly, thoroughly pleased with myself and the things around me.
