   Lucky Me !
I had a little bit of a scare Tuesday but I am otherwise alright. There was a young woman about my age who hit us at a stoplight. Her door flew off and there was a little damage on our bumper. The other vehicle that was involved had a dented bumper as well, but thankfully no one was harmed. The driver of the truck was a little shaken up, and the lady with the baby was devistated and in tears but fortunately, she, nor the baby were harmed.
My Brother from Egypt is speaking to me again and he said "let us remove the stone" (which means, let us start anew and throw away the past). I also qualified today. I still have more testing to do, but I should be alright. Once I start grading, I'll be employed until the 19th of April. :D

As for my status in work, it's pretty iffy. Today we had a HUGE snowstorm hit us...and HARD. I know that might sound unlikely, particularly in March, but it occured. I left a message saying I was unable to come because of the weather. I have to make a call later seeing what the schedule is. Even if this job doesn't work, there are other projects to undertake. And a friend of mine has a job offer for me (administrative assistant) he is keeping an eye on.
It would be at my Alma Mater, UIndy. If I got that I could go back to school and get involved in Drama/Film etc. :)

Back to the Ol' Drawin' Board
Well, it looks like I will be working once more at Kelly CTB/McGraw Hill. Not only did they call me on my regular contact number but they *also* called my cell ! This is a rarity because no one has ever done this before (except for that one rude guy that wanted to "help" me with my invention and he was mad when I told him I didn't have a lot of money...He was just RUDE). So, they must really either need people badly or just really REALLY want me to work for them again. (laughing) I am glad I can go back there and work because it's never dull and I always learn something new. My father will be coming with me again. Unfortunately, he is feeling a little bit under the weather and feels as if he is going to be catching cold.
For those of you who are wondering about my GRE scores, I won't get them until April. The only reason this is is because a panel has to scrutinize my essays. Essays are graded on content, and I am sure I had no troubles there.
So, it looks like matters are definately looking up for me.
:D I'm elated ! :w00t!: ^-^

   I'll tell him...
But I am afraid of what the outcome will be. The one who called me "Basbousa" truly does have love for me. He even said he would love me to the ends of the Earth.
That's a deep, vast, undying love. I hope he wasn't exaggerating ! :giggle: I know he wouldn't because he has never lied to me before. I hope that if I tell him the relationship will last. Even if he isn't my Knight in shining armor, there will be another in time. As for my Egyptian brother, I forgive him and leave the rest up to a Higher Power.

   i feel awful...
here i am crying my eyes out because my surrogate brother (who will remain anonymous) is no longer speaking to me.
he believes that all Christians are horrible. i didn't want to be controlled by him. i didn't want to be told how to live my life by him but now i don't know whether to believe the man i love or not. (i haven't told him i love him yet because i am afraid to). at this point, my heart is aching and i am hurt.
my parents aren't going to know i have been crying.
i am keeping that to myself. i've lost my surrogate brother because i didn't want to be controlled. is that so wrong ?
he hates americans now and especially me. he called me a dummy sister which was the straw that broke the camels back (bad analogy considering he was Egyptian). feeling down and i really don't want to be seen like this.

   Prayer Before the Test
Bless this hand of mine
Bless this mind so the right answers it finds
Allow no fear to claim me
Or silly bugaboo my knowledge erase
Help me to remain calm and keep up the pace
With your help, O God all I ask
Is to do my best and pass
With Your assistance and all the studying I've done
I shan't fail, I'll have won !
With everything in perspective
I'll do the best I can do
The rest, dear Father
Is all up to You.

   Never a dull moment...
Next week, I am taking the GRE. I admit I am a little nervous, but I should be alright. I have been studying hard and I am certain all my hard effort will pay off. I just saw a fantastic movie, "Aquamarine". Forget what the reviews say, I thought the movie was magnificent ! It's not offensive, it has a wonderful story and it ends happily. What more could anyone want ? So long as you have a childlike spirit you'll enjoy it immensely. I don't know what movie I am planning on seeing Sunday, but I'll have a review of it as soon as I see it. Keep me in prayer March 11, I would really appreciate it. It seems my ex still loves me. Also, some other guys are interested in me too, all of them foreign.

   Sam Goody's Closing
:sniff: :cry: :tears: I am terribly saddened by the loss of one of my favorite stores, but it seems they aren't doing well in Indiana. That doesn't mean I won't take advantage of sales before my store leaves Indiana forever. I'm not completely broken up over it. We still have Best Buy's here which is better than nothing (they have a great selection of anime at an incredible price). Hopefully I can go sometime soon...
I have some collections that need to be filled.
