It's a Long One. Read if You Wish to Laugh At Me. :]
It's been an uber long day, I must say. Chaos and bad luck follows me wherever I go! So let's start from the top. (Keep note that the freakin weather has been horrible. It's been raining NONSTOP, and I mean Nonstop, since Wednesday night!!)

At 2:30PM I got an email saying our student loan check was in the office and ready to be picked up. We left about quarter til to go to Karate class. Picked up the check and found out that school got only ours today. Everyone else gets theirs tomorrow. :P

Headed to Karate class and got there at exactly 3 with everyone else who was behind because of the crappy weather. The bottom of my pant legs were completely soaked. (Reminder to find rain boots online.) Karate was great though. We finally got to stop working on white belt techniques for the sake of the white belts and pick up on where we left off last semester. Also, the teacher is talking about a cheap weapons seminar. I'm so excited. :3 I just hope my coworker can switch shifts with me!

After Karate class, we headed back home; it was about 4:20 when we got home. Dad didn't give me the chance to do anything. He told us he wanted beer and cigs. Me and my brother only had 10 bucks put together. (We didn't want to tell him about our checks til Friday.) Sadly, I came out with the secret. Sooo Dad made us cash it. It was about quarter til 5 then. My boss had recently pushed my shift forward, wanting me to come in at 5.

I legally drove as fast as possible to a local bank in my Dad's truck. They were closed. Went back home, (about a 3 minute drive between), and Dad sent us off to another local bank, but this time he told us that if it was closed to go to my work and ask for a loan. That bank was closed so I went to my work.

Got to work, went to the back, and asked my boss for a 30 dollar loan. Went back up front to the counter, looked at the clock, it was 5 til, got 10 dollars worth of gas in the truck, got back in the car, and headed for Dollar General to get my spaghetti noodles for the dinner I started at 12 in the afternoon!

Got to Dollar General, thank goodness these places are minutes from my house), I left my brother in the truck with heater on, got back out to discover the truck wasn't starting anymore. It was exactly 5 o'clock. Called my Dad and asked him to come help me. Waited 10 minutes, he came. I stood in the rain for awhile til I went and waited in my brother's car. Couldn't escape the mockery about how every car I drive breaks! Cars no likey me. After about 15 minutes he finally got everything going again.

I went home, made a peanut butter sandwich, went to work. It was exactly 5:30 when I got there. . . soaking wet. Didn't get to dry my clothes from the first round of rain running.

NOOOOOW we enter work drama, I'll make it short as possible. My boss has apparently lost a screw. She cut her best and most experienced worker's hours by 12 a week. She also cut a few more of her best workers' hours. They're rebelling that action at the moment. What else did she do though? She brought back one of the slowest workers I've seen. He's cool, but he's a loud mouth who talks more than he works. That's not all though, she gave two of her newest workers more hours. More than the senior workers. One's talking about quitting and going to Wal-Mart. I'll look at another job if she attempts to cut any hours that's not 11 to 7 on Sundays (I HATE WORKING THAT! She could at least give me the morning or the night off.) But yeah, now it's ton of drama that probably won't end well.

ANYWHO. Enough of this post. I must retire to bed for it's going to be a busy day tomorrow. Night homies. <3

SO MANY ANGRY PEOPLE! It's beyond ridiculous. The past few days, I've run into so many agitated customers. No fun. They snap at you for something so little. Think I had two in a row Saturday, and then two in a row yesterday. My coworker had someone snap at her yesterday too.

Dad's ignoring me right now. I'm a little upset about it, but I can't blame him since he's being having a series of unfortunate events. . . that was last night's events. This morning, on the other hand, was quite unreasonable. I volunteered to make breakfast for myself and everyone. I made enough, but Dad didn't think so. -___- He back his plate and went to go make himself something for drink, no soda though. He got pissed. . .

UGGGGGGGGGH. Just got through with his fucking lecture. Of course I'm being blamed for nearly everything bad that happens to him. I went grocery shopping with the last 40 dollars we had, got a roll of ground meat, stew meat, and pork chops. Dad wanted a 6 pack of beer, but my brother didn't have his ID PLUS it was Sunday (they don't sell beer on Sunday). Got home and he was pissed about it. I shrugged it off and cooked the pork chops for dinner. While I was cooking dinner, I realized I forgot Dad's coffee grinds and butter. Seeing how it was too late and too expensive to drive 15 minutes back into town, so I tried the local Dollar General. They didn't have either. My store only had the butter, but not Dark Roast coffee. My luck. Just now, he got done saying that I was being selfish with the grocery shopping and I should've discussed dinner plans for the rest of the week. Also, he asked for beer, cigs, and coffee, but I came back with cigs and 2 excuses. Then he went on to talk about how when we were babies, he wouldn't come home without diapers. In my head: "YOUR M****R F*****G COMPARING DIAPERS TO BEER!" GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Breathe. Just one more year. One more. I was in a fucking good mood too. -___-

This weekend is and will be freakin chaotic. I only like organized chaos!

Last night I got an unexpected call from an old friend whom I've known since I was 5! Right now, she's attending University of Lafayette in Louisiana, and she's going up to the {MS} capital, which means she's passing right through my town. Thing is I accidentally forgot I work 11 to 7 tomorrow, but I told her I was getting off at 3. I found a replacement, but of course, chaos must ensue and throw my plans into a dice roll. One of the workers who pull the early morning shift is out cold, one of two fill-ins is dodging everyone and the store, and the bosses are out of town this weekend. Right now we have everything worked out, but it means I have to go in two hours early. Eck.

Speaking of work, I've had so many unreasonable customers lately. -___- I would explain in detail, but I'm tired.

I need to start cleaning too! My house is such a mess and my friend is going to be here tomorrow (though I don't know if she's just stopping to say hello and small talk).

Sooooooooo tired. Don't know why. T^T

Yeah, unexpected things happen all right.

The other day, I went to go a cable bill and on the way into town, my {oldest} brother's car wouldn't accelerate anymore! It was breaking! THE SAME EXACT THING MY MUSTANG DID! I was able to turn back around and make it home. Dad drove the car to the shop today. Turns out the catalytic convert is broke. How much to replace it? 600 bucks. That means my {twin} brother and I had to gather the last of our 300 each to cover the car. We still haven't paid the electric bill, which means it's gonna stack next month to about 300.

Recently, the doctor's office I go to just billed me the other day saying if I don't hurry and pay the 150, my credit is gonna get hurt. -__- I don't even have credit yet!

One thing I can rely on right now is my tax refund. Thing is, I haven't gotten my W-2 yet. Last year, I made a risk and filed for independent, which gave me a 300 dollar rebate. IRS didn't come after me though, so I guess it was okay. I'm worried to do it this year again. e__o

Yesterday, I sent my Master Permissionary (sp?) Note to my financial aid lender. Hopefully I get the loan next Friday which will catch us up on bills and shizz.

I did get good news out of this. My {oldest} brother's car has the same problem as my Mustang, the catalytic converter is broke. Luckily, my converter is only 80 bucks to replace. My Dad also wants to rebuild the transmission. The kit is only 80 bucks. So, fixing my car should be cheap, though it'll be a dang while.

Think I'm gonna talk to my coworker more about his open secretary position he has in his tax business. I'm trying really hard to get the job for my {oldest} brother, but if I not, I'll see if he can hire me (if Dad lets me).

The bad news: I was just looking at Korean language books THIS morning on Amazon!!! Came home and Dad's all like, "We need 600 dollars today to fix the car." Ugh. I may still order it though. . .

Anywho, I'm off toooooooo do laundry. It's piling up. =|

Hope you guys have a great week! <3

Oh yeah. . .

WHO DAT!

SAINTS FINALLY GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL

I shall enter myself as evidence that depression really hurts, and that it takes ALOT of energy to be pissed off at people.

Recently, my weekend shifts have been rather shaky. Mainly because my coworkers during that time like to poke fun at me. It's not bad, I like to have fun with them too, but sometimes, they tend to push my buttons. The one way to really make me angry, criticize me on how I work. I was laughing at the joke at first, but apparently it set a ticking bomb off in my head. Soon, I was very upset, angry, and depressed. Yes, all those things. I knew they were joking too, but everyone has something you joke with them about. Mine is criticism. I hate criticism. I don't take criticism very well at all. That feeling just latches on to me and won't get off until someone apologizes, til I vent it out, or nap. (Naps solve every mood swing.)

After about 2 hours, my coworkers started to notice that I was upset. (Yeah, 2 hours.) One went home, but then the other finally asked what was wrong. I vented. I found out that I was really only angry at the one person who made the joke, but I turned it into something else and got angry at everyone.

After I vented I felt better. . . sort of. I wasn't angry/upset/depressed anymore, but I ached all over, and I was seriously exhausted to the point where it felt like I worked 11 hours when it was only 4 hours that passed by. I hate being angry because it takes so much energy out of me, but it can't be rainbows and ninjas everyday. Sadly, today was just one of those days. Saints play in the NFC championship tonight. I was gonna come home and help Dad make the ribs, but it's done now. Too tired now. Ugh.

Hope the Saints win and push Farve into retirement. :P

HEY YOU GUYS! Notice I added three more buttons to my friends list. :D If I missed you, tell me! PLEASE!

Anyways, things are back to normal. It just took awhile for Dad to come out of his mood. So things are good between us, for now. =| Enjoy the sunshine before the next storm, ne?

Classes today were cool. Sadly, I got lost in computer class because I wasn't paying attention. We were making a flyer on word and she changed the style settings where the header was white font with a dark orange background around it. It would not work for me though. -___- I tried to follow the book's directions, but it still wouldn't work right for me. Guess I'll mess with it again Tuesday. Also, I made a friend in there, but we only talk through Wimba Pronto, which is a classroom messenger. Sadly, there's this awkwardness between us off the computer. Maybe I'll talk to her eventually? Right now, I'm getting her to try Japanese music again. She said she tried it once but she didn't like it, so I gave her Home Made Kazoku music. Hope she likes it >___<

No Karate class today, which kind of sucks. I learned the Korean word for grandpa (Hara buh ji) and I wanted to use it against my teacher to see what he says. xD

Yes, that's right. I FINALLY started on Korean yesterday. Learned how to say yes (yea), no (aniyo), and some other words. I bought a permanent marker this morning, so I should be able to start making Hangul flashcards soon.

Tomorrow I have an induction ceremony for Phi Theta Kappa. I have to wear pretty clothes. I have pretty clothes, I think. It's a perfect chance to wear my outfit, but I still don't have the belt, or black shoes. ]: About the ceremony, have a feeling it's gonna be hella confusing. Guess I'll find out tomorrow. . .

Anywho, I'm off to take a nap. Toodles. :D

**EDIT**

T___________________________T

I took my nap at 1, which was hard since I kept tossing and turning. I woke up at 2:30 with a throbbing headache. Then I get sick to my stomach. Threw up couple of times. Then I get diarrhea. Wtf?! I get sick everytime I take a nap somehow! It's always something after my naps! T^T I can never have a pain free nap!

I have work in 15 minutes. I'm still sickish. My head hurts, and I'm a little nauseated. I may wait an hour to go in. The timing, oh how the timing is impeccable.

So I'm in a better mood today. Thanks for the concerns.. and threats. xD

Well Dad hasn't said a word to me alllll day. Cold shoulder. Doesn't matter to me though. Can't please everyone, ya know. Besides, the more he hates on me, the more my brothers and I hate him. The only thing that caught my ear today was him saying, "What, did she take a stupid pill today?" I just shook it off. Whatever.

I went out today in this beautiful weather we have. I walked my dog down the street and up the train tracks. On the way back up the train tracks, I was listening to my Ipod. I put it on pause and looked back to hear a train roaring up on me. I hurried off the tracks with my dog to the side of the woods. When I looked down, I discovered that there was nothing on the end of my earphones. My Ipod was gone!!! I waited 5 minutes through the freezing cold gusts the train was making. Then it took me 5 minutes to find my IPod. Thank goodness it's bright purple, and thank goodness trains actually don't ride on the whole tracks. My Ipod had feel square in the center of the tracks. I was so happy to find it again. T^T

Can't wait for class tomorrow! <3 I love classes. Gets me away from home and work; plus, it makes the year go by waaaay faster! Just a year left and I'm out of this crappy hell hole!

**EDIT**
Well that was short lived. I was sitting out in the living room minding my own business. I guess he got pissed off at something in the kitchen. Came out, sat down, took his medicine, looked at me, told me to go to my room. Sorry the sight of me sickens him. I told my older brother, who finally got fed up and yelled at my Dad for treating us, especially me, like shit. Dad yelled something at me about being disrespected. Who the hell knows. Of course, he's too stubborn to hear our side of the story.

All I know, his shit is pissing me off and I'm reaching the end of my breaking point. Don't know what I'll do either. Get in a car and drive as far as possible til I run out of gas? Walk til I collapse? Yell at him til I pass out unconscious (lame)? Try to gather as much of my money as possible and fly to South Korea? (Hey, I got a hefty student loan the other day.)

Who knows.

Yaaaay, this weekend has been shit, like always.

The two workers are still out of work, which left two 4 to 10 shifts on both Saturday and Sunday open. Thing is, my (ex)friend told me Friday that he could work it, but come Saturday he came in and told me he couldn't. Left me with the whole shift! I had to pull a double because of him. Sickens me because I switched shifts with him and covered his ass when he asked me to, but when I need help, he bails! Then I thought I could get out early by asking my other coworker to finish the last two hours for me, but he never came in. Turns out he told me to call him when I wanted him in. Yeah, so I worked the whole 11 hours. I was soooo fucking upset. Went home and bitched out my exfriend on facebook. That bit me in the ass today.

He showed up to fill in the open position at register today. Know what's even funnier? He apparently hasn't read his facebook yet. But anyways, the shift went by with no drama. I got home and Dad told me that I didn't have to cook dinner if I didn't want to. So I jumped on xbox live to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the first time. BUT OF COURSE, my fucking connection went into a spaz and I couldn't play. I thought I could solve it by disconnecting the modem and reconnecting it. Thing is, the connection didn't come back on for 20 minutes. Dad got pissed, it was subtle though. Then Dad asked me to make mashed potatoes, I got pissed. Wtf happened to not worrying about dinner? Then Dad saw how I was upset, he got pissed off and stopped making dinner. Now he's in emo mode.

Seems like I can't be happy anywhere.

**EDIT**
Nope. Starting to get a feeling everyone's mission in life is to give me grief and to making my life a fucking Hell.

The phone got turned off. I wasn't aware of ANY bills. I found the old bill that was due on December 31st. Now it's mounted up to 130 bucks. No problems, we have the money. Dad just won't shut the fuck up. He keeps yelling at me.

Am I that much of a disappointment? Should I just kill myself?! Sure everyone will be happy if I do.

Haha. Classes are becoming very fun. Today in Intro to Computer class, we picked up with the discussion boards where we introduced ourselves. I talked about how I love Japanese/Korean music, I loved their culture, and how I plan on teaching English as a Second language in Japan and SKorea. Amazingly, 9 people in the class of about 30 responded to my thread. O___o I found this (Af. Am.) girl who loves video games and hates rap. We're talking alot now. xD Then the teacher introduced us to Wimba Pronto, which is a live classroom messenger where you can communicate with other classmates. Turns out you can add anyone else nationally who has the messenger. So, if you got one, mail it to me! We can chat while I'm in class ;) Anyways, she was showing us how to do things like add a picture of yourself, use the whiteboard, and call chat; I decided to get a secret group chat going. xD Just three other people in the classroom. Sadly we only chatted for about 3 minutes when the teacher dismissed class. Maybe next time. It was loads of fun though. :D

Also, turns out World Literature is a cinch. I should've guessed why so many. . . socialites, choose her class. She gives the answers out to every tests and dismisses class early. I don't mind since the class would've been my biggest obstacle, seeing how I suck at Reading Comprehension. I guess the only challenging class that leaves is. . . Sociology, which shouldn't be that bad.

Work has been a bother lately. The workers who took off Sunday -- oh wait, I haven't discussed that yet. Well, Sunday, my two coworkers (whose a couple) had to leave at quarter to 7 for an emergency. Luckily, I had only 15 minutes of my shift left, so I didn't get stranded with my disgusting boss by myself forever. Sadly, those two workers do pizza and register on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! Left the whole store in chaos when it came to shifts. I kept getting called in around 7 and 8 at night because they don't have anyone else to work. But, now it's Thursday and I have my actual shift, cept I go in at 5:30 because of Karate.

I hope to death they come in for the weekend. -__- I refuse to work a double.

Anywho, I must go! Love chu guys <3

Sadly, I think I've lost interest being online. I found myself coming online alot to talk to friends, but most of them are always busy. Now the most I come online to do is everything but talk to friends. So, catch me if you can.

I still haven't updated you guys on the classes I have Tuesday and Thursday's. My first one in the morning is . . . what was it. Oh yeah, Intro to Computer Concepts. Very very very easy class. It teaches you about Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Problem with the class, the teacher is a motor mouth. It took her an hour and a half to go over the syllabus because she kept telling stories and using long examples to explain points. On top of that, the SAM disk is required while the book is optional. I bought the book thinking the SAM came with it. Nope. The book was 60 bucks, the SAM was 60 bucks. Rawr.

The next class is World Literature. This classroom is bare, blank, old walls; no posters, just a blackboard. Thing is, empty walls make a room look smaller (in my opinion). Plus, the room was PACKED. I started getting claustrophobic! -__- Not to mention it's full of preppy girls and country, jocky boys I wish I could punch. That class is going to be horrible torture.

Karate. Oh, karate. My brother and I was walking to the meeting thinking it was going to be the first semester students and a couple of new kids. Vice versa. Six of the first semester students returned, PLUS 30 new students. Karate has gained a lot of popularity after our board breaking event I guess. I'm nervous for tomorrow~ As a New Year's resolution, I plan on stretching every night and becoming flexible to where I can kick higher than my hip. Right now, I'm probably the World's most inflexible female. Hehe.

Speaking of New Year's resolutions, I have a few I came up with. Learn basic Korean, rememorize Japanese katakana and hiragana, become Ms. Stretchy, and search for any scholarships I can get my hands on.

Anywho, I'm off tooooooooooo post music articles. . . maybe.

Love you guys. <3
