Shoot me in the foot...

The past week has been really hectic for me! Starting with last Friday i got my hair done by a great friend! I received some great layers, dark brown hair and green&purple highlights! I know your all excited with me:]

My English tutor says that im a natural with writing! and that i should have no problem when it comes to making my paper go over and above the expectations! But what i want to know is if this lady thinks im so great and i have a natural talent for writing out my expressions and thoughts then why have i always failed every paper ive written?

And i made a new friend today at work. Well ive been working with her for about a month but we never really talked. And we talked today! and she is really funny! and once we start joking around there is non-stop laughter in the deli department. And honestly that is what i need! If i am having to work at a job that i hate as a way to pay my bills through college then i atleast need someone there for me to crack up with and make it seem a little less like work! And then i couldnt get the fryer to filter at work today because some butt heads keep doing it wrong so when i go to do it it messes up! Thanks alot geniuses! So i was getting really mad after about my 100,000 time trying to get the nasty stuff to come up the tube and here walks in my manager! She comes over and i said that if she could get it to work she might as well shoot me in my foot because i have been messing with it for about an hr! Well the heifer did the exact same thing i did and it worked! i was so pissed! OMG it hates me! well i hate it and its nasty oil and nasty fried foods anyways! haha

So i put in a application at Petsmart earlier this week. Yesterday i drove by one and stopped in and talked to the manager! EVERY ONE PRAY I GET THIS JOB! i would love it and have so much fun!!! I would start out as a dog washer! making a little less then what i am now! And then in 3 mths if i showed quailty signs they would move me up to dog groomer! and they would send me to school and everything to learn the ins and outs of grooming! Im really excited because this is what im going to school for which is animal care! and if i could get a job working with animals doing anything i would be so happy!!! So hopefully they call me back for a interview because i will deff go over there again and talk to them all over again haha!!!!

Finding something through a Tutor

Have you ever had a subject in school that you didnt understand? One that you could never get anything done and you had to recieve extra help? Well I have a subject just like that. Its called English. As you may know writing papers is not my strong point. I loath it. But I love to write! So earlier this week I signed up for a english tutor. 

I met my tutor today and I liked her from the start. She reminds me of "me" but in a older and wiser way. She is tall slightly plump but in a Im healthy and from the south way not I dont take care of myself way. Her hair is shoulder length and natural grey and she sports some pretty stylish glasses. I like to think of her as your "Aunt Pearl". But today she helped me come up with topics about my Narrative paper. And while coming up with a topic it really hit home. A straight home run to myself, inside self. I remembered when I found my writing portfolio from my childhood summers. This was made back before I had assignments and I was probably in early middle school. It brought some straight up tears to my ears talking about it. And I know "Aunt Pearl" was probably thinking what kinda nut do I have in my office but I figured something out today. That I forgot about something that I loved! I had a passion for making up my own stories as a child. I was always getting in trouble for making up tall tales in school about people and such and since noone wanted to hear them I had started writing all of my stories down. And I had forgotten about them. That hurt. Something that had once meant so much to me that I had decorated it and hide it from the world in a special place so that no one would know my sorrows and what went on in my head was lost for years! Im glad I remembered it. Because honestly I had some great stuff in there! I got really wrapped up in a story that I had forgotten all about! AMAZING! So tonight when I get home im going to put that portfolio in a special place again. And im going to continue to write stories about things that dont matter and what nots and exaggerations about people.

So thank you once again my "Aunt Pearl" tutor. You have really helped a poor lost student remember something about herself that she didn't know meant so much to her. And at this point in my life I needed that!

School life in a blog nutshell...

Honestly the whole school thing is exciting to me. I love going to a new class and learning about new things. How to cut something open and what organs do what and I actually enjoy doing some homework. But there are also some major cons to whole school experience. Papers! I feel eternal loathing for writing papers such as research, literacy and so on. For example I have to do a research paper on pigs. PIGS! Really? Its for Animal Care and I really like that class so I guess I can bit the bullet and find some facts about pigs. But I honestly do not like the finding information citing it blah blah blah! I would rather give you a tale about a ship sailing through the clouds and unicorns flying with cotton candy clouds. And I have another one due about something that has made a impression on me that deals with reading or writing. Something dealing with literacy. Really...I think I'm going to borrow that .22 from GTCC and shot myself not my dreams. And have you talked to my back lately? Yeah its begging for some morphine. I bet my book bag weighs in at 50 pounds. I really want one of those nice rolling bags but I cant find any big enough to fit all of my books! And the ones that I did find were 70 plus dollars! And I'm poor. So to round everything up. I love school itself and the atmosphere of this school. BUT i hate papers and my back has a hit list for my book bag and its contents!

My love for Walmart!

If you didn't know this about me I have a strong love for Walmart. It's more of a obsession really. It has went so far that i actually bought (at Walmart) a sign for my fiancee that says "When I die bury me at Walmart so my wife will visit!"

My Walmart thing started as a small baby. Because every Saturday mawmaw and great granny would take me to at least 2 Walmarts. My great granny had such a obsession that she would wake up and start calling my mawmaw at about 7am asking when she was coming to pick her up so she could go to Walmart. The sad thing is that SHE NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING! But the occasional 2 Liter Pepsi. AND I SO THE SAME THING! Minus the 2 Liter Pepsi. I will go to a Walmart in my free time and i literally spend about 2 good hrs just LOOKING! No exaggeration if you could only see me. I will walk around with a empty buggy and look at everything. I usually start in the pet supply area and make my rounds through the whole store. Sure my buggy will be loaded to the top by time i get finished but im also the person at the register that puts everything on the magazine racks. They HATE me. Because i will have shoes and shirts and cat food maybe some yarn. And then at the last minute I put everything back but the yarn. After 2 hrs I only buy yarn! 

So for everyone who hates the task of going shopping with Kellie. Because 99.9 percent of the time we end up at Walmart. Blame it on Mawmaw and Granny! Because those two together were a freak force of nature. My granny could sniff out every Walmart in a tri-state area! AND that was back before the big internet boom and map quest and gps were thought of. She was good! I can never hope to be her successor but I like to think I'm pretty darn close!

Learning how to Blog...

So by the suggestion of a friend i have decided to blog. I have never blogged before and honestly I think that I might be rather good at it. Up until today i have used facebook as a means of letting out my thoughts and feelings of the day and honestly that little box is not my friend...
