It's True

I've really dropped the bucket when it comes to blogging this month. March is not my proudest moment.

But I am currently trying to avoid my computer as much as possible at this point. We're in a fight. A very big fight.

It seems everytime I use my computer anymore it's either to:
1. Write a paper
2. Do an online homework
3. Write a book review (on a book I most likely never read)
4. Write a presentation
5. Make a stupid website
6. Make test reviews that don't help because I still manage to fail the test
7. Make lists of everything I have to do in April which just freaks me out
8. Plan teaching lessons (1st lesson I'm doing is this Tuesday!!)
9. Make a multimodal movie which has taken up about 5 or more hours of my life
10. Try and put this movie on a DVD which has and still is taking up my ENTIRE life.

Grrrrr! I hate computers I really really do.

But hopefully things will start to work out a little better and hopefully April will be a better month for me. Especially in the technology department.

And since I haven't posted much of anything about my life lately here are some things going on:
- We have a new pigeon family making a nest on me and Kelli's balcony. They wake me up every morning with their effing squabbles. But at least we'll eventually get to see some eggs hatch!
- As mentioned above, on Tuesday I'm teaching my first lesson at Monticello. Wish me luck!
- I've been drinking water lately like it's going out of style.
- I found out I have bunions on my feet
- I'm convinced I have mono because a girl I work with has it and I have been quite tired recently.
- I'm tired of rain, clouds, mushy ground, confusing weather, and all else that has to do with Pre-Spring.

As you can tell, my general mood at the moment is frustrated, tired, semi-pissed, and overwhelmed.

Summer can't get here soon enough!

I Suck

Oh Man...

I haven't blogged in over two weeks.

Spring Break has gone and passed.

I've been back at school for a week now and am hating it.

I have an insane amount of work to do in the next month.

It's thunderstorming like crazy.

I have a test to study for all night tonight and all morning tomorrow. When I don't even know if I can pass it anyway.

And I probably won't post a real blog until this weekend sometime.

So yes, I suck. Basically.

Attention All Weirdos and Wackos:

Whitney Cummins will now be your server.

"Min" last Saturday evening:
I was working until 10:50pm that evening because my favorite old couple came in (good personalities, horrible timing). meaning when I got home (due to the time change) it was really almost midnight. Joyous Saturday night.

"Min" on Monday:
4:20- Leave for work
4:25-5:00 - Prepare for opening of work.
5:00- 7:00 - sloooooow. So. Un-Godly. Slow.
7:00 - 8:00 - Slight rush. I made some money.
8:00- 8:45 - DEAD.
8:45 - Man and his girlfriend walk in. Turns out...he is the weirdest man alive. No joke, he deserves an award. He tells me they will probably be staying late. Oh good.

When he finds out we don't have Diet Mt. Dew he is extremely disappointed. He says he'll "be right back" but orders 2 Shrimp Cocktails before he leaves.

9:00 - Man returns with a diet Mt. Dew in his coat pocket. He went across the street to buy one. And he refuses to take the pop out of his coat pocket and set it on the table. No matter how many times I tell him It's OK. He says he doesn't want to "get in trouble".

He then gobbles up the shrimp (both of them) not sharing at all with his girlfriend. When he finds out she wanted some he orders two more. "And I might be ordering them throughout the night!" Um....NO, you won't. The kitchen closes at 9:30 dude.

9:15 - "Have you guys decided what you want to eat yet?" She has. He hasn't. He asked me 9 billion questions. Tells me he can't decide because he's fat. Says he needs liposuction then literally begins to sing a song to be about him being a fattie. Out of nowhere he quickly decides to leave the restaurant.

9:20ish - He returns...with another Diet Mt. Dew in his coat pocket. And finally orders. Still, will not set that damn pop on the table.

9:25- My favorite old couple walk in. OH great.

9:30 - "Min" "closes"

Weirdo calls me over to talk to him. Most awkward, unnatural, wacky conversation of my life. Turns out he is a High School teacher, and is almost 60 years old. When he finds out I'm a future teacher, the awkward conversation continues. When he finds out my dad is a teacher he just has to know my dad's life story. His girlfriend apologizes to me for him being so weird. But really...why is she dating this guy?

Here is a sampling of our conversation:

Some friendly teaching advice-
1. Don't be a teacher (hmmm...a little to late).
2. In Champaign, kids hurt eachother with hammers. (....What???)
3. In Peoria, kids hurt eachother with guns.

Some friendly information on his life-
1. My girlfriend pays for everything we do. (loser)
2. I have a friend who is a genius. He's from the Freeport area. (And, should I care?)
3. My girlfriend had a bad day. And sometimes she tells me she doesn't know why she's dating me. (She nods).

And then some questions he asks me-
1. Why are salads at "Min" so expensive? (Why does it matter...your girlfriend is paying, no?)
2. Now....do you know this? Starts to sing a song in another language. (No, dude I don't. I don't speak crazy)
3. When did Columbus sail the ocean blue? (1492, and when are you sailing out of here??!!!)

9:50 - Another waitress thankfully pulls me away from weirdo and then she luckily gets to leave for the night.

9:55 - I notice wacky is gone again. That's right...another Mt. Dew. He returns a few minutes later. Still hiding it.

10:00 - I serve weirdo and his girlfriend their food. weirdo just had to have an Italian Beef sandwich with the Beef on the side and the bun on a separate plate. When i set down his beef (which is in a bowl) he literally puts his face INTO the bowl like a dog, and begins loudly and disgustingly eating it. Girlfriend turns bright red.

After about 45 horribly uncomfortable seconds later he pulls his face up, beef coming out of his mouth, juices running down his chin, and smiling.
"Is this the weirdest thing you ever saw a teacher do?"
"Uhhhh.........welll..........YES." Before turning and running away to tell Joe.

I didn't know whether to laugh, scream, or call the insane asylum.
Dude was NUTS.

10:30- Weirdo and girlfriend finally leave. I truly hope she dumped him after that night. No self respecting woman.....

10:45- My favorite old couple leaves. Another late night for me.

"Min" Tonight:
My favorite old couple returns. I didn't get home until 10:45.

Do I have the worst luck? Or do I have the worst luck?

Good news: I'm leaving for Spring Break tomorrow. Hallelujah for time off!!!!!!!!!

To The Person I Thought Deserved To Be My Very First Word Ever Spoken:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!!

I Love You very much and hope you have a GREAT, WONDERFUL day!!!

Have fun and relax!

See you in 4 days!!

Love,

Whitney

Senioritis

Yes I know I'm not a Senior.

But technically....I am. This is my second to last semester at college so seemingly my first semester of my Senior year...right?

Regardless, I'm feeling the symptoms ten-fold of Senioritis.

I find it hard to give my papers, homework, and studying the time it deserves. In fact, I'm not even bullshitting anymore as good as I could. I just don't care. I'm so close...I find it hard to see a point.

This is especially a problem on nights like tonight. I need to begin studying for my midterm. And I will....eventually. Sad thing is I really don't care what I get as long as it's above a C. My goal for this semester is all B's or above. But that's as motivated as I can make myself.

It also doesn't help that I've been sick for the past three days and Spring Break is just around the corner. So many distractions!

And I will eventually post about Unofficial.

For now, I'm enjoying my symptoms of Senioritis. It's a dangerous disease but one that says "I've made it".

I'm thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to FINALLY teaching on my own!!!!!!

Icky Sicky

I'm not feeling to great today.

A little fever-y, sore body, and really exhausted.

I know I've been going really hard lately but let me just ask something....why do I always get sick right around the time when I have lots of tests and papers to write?

It's like a curse.

Anyway, I'm going to stay home today, recuperate, and hopefully feel better. I need my health to get through this busy busy week.

I'll write later and tell you about my Unofficial Weekend! :)

To My Favorite:

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!

Have a Wonderful Day!!

I Love You and Can't wait to see you!!
