Kristen's Journal

I came back to Seattle last Friday. I've been busy with my 3 realtors though. We are looking for a house in Seattle because rent is annoying and its a better investment. But of course mom has 3 realtors for me so if I have any free time it is spent looking at houses with one of them.

School started this week and I can already tell its going to be hard. Not fun. Great time to be buying a house huh?

So I got home on Friday night and apparently my parents bought a van like a week or two before and didn't bother to tell me. They said they bought it so that whenever I come home I have a car to drive. Yeah like I really want to be driving a minivan around. Oh well though, its a 96 but it only has a hundred thousand miles on it and its a six cylinder so its pretty powerful. It even has a cd player so I guess its alright.

Being lazy and being able to sit around and do nothing feels so good. Although I might want to start my Christmas shopping now. I have yet to start that and Christmas is in 5 days. I just hate deciding what to get people.

Yay I took my last final this morning. I'm so glad they're done. I think I did ok. I did all the questions but I ran out of time to do the extra credit ones. Oh well though.

Turns out I won't be going home until tomorrow night so I have today and tomorrow to be lazy and do nothing in my apartment.

I took my physics final yesterday at 8:30 in the morning. So not cool. I am never awake that early in the morning. I was yawning through the whole test. I think I only did ok on it though. Totally blanked out on one of the big questions. And it was my first time taking the whole 2 hours to finish the test. I have never done that before. I'm usually done early and one of the first ones out. Man does this class suck.

One more final on Thursday morning and then I'm back in Vancouver Thursday night. I wasn't going to go down so early if it weren't for the fact that Dominique is leaving for Florida on Monday and she wants me to go down before she leaves. I hate paying for rent when I'm not even here.

I finally got that damn facebook to get everyone off my back about it. I haven't done anything with it though because well...I was just doing it so people would stop getting on my case and I have no time.

Finals is going to be killer. I go home on the 15th.

I'm so bored right now because the stupid website where I do my homework is down right now. What the hell.

Wow it has been way too long since I've updated. This week has been the week from hell. Came home Sunday night around 11 from thanksgiving break to find I left my keys in Vancouver, but on top of that I found out that my apartment flooded. Yup...my apartment flooded. There was a pipe burst in the building and out of all the people living in these apartments, only Jeremy's and mine were flooded. I had to stay a few nights at Mike's while it was drying and while they got the carpet cleaned. It was basically my worst nightmare. I'm back in now but the place is a mess. This is the worst time for this to happen. Its almost the end of the quarter and I just have so much to do.

But on a lighter note, I saw Rent for the second time tonight. I just love being immersed into movies and especially musicals. I mean it isn't the greatest movie ever it has its flaws but I love watching it anyways.

I just can't wait for this quarter to be over.

So I still don't have internet yet but I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it by this weekend. Right now I'm at my friends place using his internet so I thought I would update while I have it. Seattle has been treating me well. Its really growing on me and I really like it here. I've met mostly guys because they're the only ones who come up and talk to me but hopefully I'll meet more girls too.

My first Physics test is tomorrow and I am so not ready. I'm very excited for the weekend though. Lots of things to do!

Current Mood: sore

So I'm here in Seattle with no internet so I'm over at Mike's using his internet that's connected to his cell phone. Seattle has actually been pretty fun. I was homesick for maybe a few hours after my dad and Edwin left on Saturday but then after that I've been fine. There is so much to do on campus I've already met a bunch of people. People are pretty nice here. They just come up and talk to you. I'm in cute guy heaven. So far I think meeting Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite and watching Pirates of the Caribbean outside on a big blow up thing have been the highlights of Seattle so far. Although all the exploring has been pretty fun.

My classes are going to be hella hard. Its going to be interesting. I don't think I'm going to do too well my first quarter. Oh well, at least I'm having fun.

Well, I hope I have internet soon. I feel so disconnected.

Wow it has really been a long time since I updated this thing. I leave for Seattle in 2 weeks. There's a lot of stuff I need to get done.

So this guy asked me out at work and usually I would say no but Sarah was encouraging it so I gave him my number. He's been calling me everyday since and most days its more than once. I didn't want to give him a date but Dominique thought it would be funny and she needed some entertainment. So we went on a double date yesterday. Now I need to find a way to get rid of him.

I only have a week or so left of work. Sad.

Current Mood: gloomy

I'm back at home now. The cruise was great. I caught up on a lot of sleep. Lot's of eating, relaxing, sleeping, and of course drinking.

Apparently we have a new manager and a bunch of new people. I heard its a lot better now and the people are nice so we'll see. Its not like I'm there for very much longer anyways.

So I don't have to work for another week or so, if any of you want to hang out you should call me.

It feels nice to be home but at the same time I am already swamped with a list of things I need to do. Sad.

Current Mood: sleepy

I'm almost finished packing!! It has only taking me like 5 hours. Our flight is tomorrow at 2 so I don't have to get up all early like we usually have to. Then we board the ship on Friday. I'm so excited to be gone, I'm in need of a vacation. Well, see you all later! I'll be back August 10th.

Current Mood: excited

I have to work 4-8:15 at Blockbuster, and then Old Navy from 9pm-6am. What the hell? I never signed on for overnight shifts. I am not going to make it. I have to do that friday and saturday night. I am going to be so tired. Oh well though. One more week until my 3 week vacation in the sun. I can't wait.

Things are going well. I don't ever have time to figure out all my Seattle stuff. My birthday was sucky up until I went and saw Fantastic 4. Other than that it was fill with doing what my family wanted and not me.

I have a date tonight that I really don't feel like going to. Oh well though, I've already postponed once so I'll just get it over with.

Current Mood: tired

Well, 4th of July was fun. Went to Dominique's, went to the Fort to get snow cones, had a BBQ, had a couple of drinks, they did fireworks, then we climbed on her roof to watch the fireworks since she lives like a block away. Except climbing onto a slanted roof after a couple of drinks might not have been the safest thing. But at least there were big guys to catch us if we fell.

I'm going to put in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow to Old Navy. I can't handle it anymore. It's just too much. I need to get my shit together for Seattle. Plus I am exhausted. I got called in last night to close and I was so tired and grumpy. This lady comes in and starts yelling at me and normally I wouldn't talk back and just get a manager but last night I started yelling back. Everyone in the store was scared.

I have my birthday off from Blockbuster but Old Navy wouldn't give it to me so I might have to work on my birthday. I am so mad.

Current Mood: sleepy

I had to work at 6 in the morning today at Old Navy. I thought it would be a little hard to wake up and be alive then but still manageable but man that was rough. I could not get to sleep last night. I have never in my whole life needed to be somewhere at 6am unless we were going on a trip and but even then we can sleep on the plane. I am so tired.

Oh and thank you to Blockbuster for deciding to give me lots of hours when I'm first adjusting to a new job. I need something to help me remember when I work where. I'm getting everything mixed up.

Tomorrow I work from 12-10 at Blockbuster. Yay!!! NOT! I'm going to Seattle to look for apartments on Monday. Its the only day where I have half of the day off. I don't even know when my next actual day off is. Isn't that sad?

Current Mood: exhausted

I got all my wisdom teeth out yesterday. I was all drugged up and feeling fine until about 7pm when I started to feel sick. Yeah then I threw up. I hate throwing up. I felt so bad. Even worse it made my mouth feel worse, it felt like all 4 of my wounds just burst open. It really hurt like hell. Well the doctor said that my body just can't take that strong of pain killers so he took me off it and put me just on advil which is not really helping the pain. Oh well though, I'd rather feel mouth pain than throw up. Right now my face looks like a balloon and I'm starving and can't eat anything.

Current Mood: hungry

I got into the University of Washington. I really don't want to go though and I really wish I didn't get in. I mean, it might be hard to believe but I really like my life here, my friends, everything. I hate change. The only good thing about going to UW would be to be on my own for once. But I like not having to worry about anything, I mean, I'm really only home when I'm sleeping. I don't want to leave my friends. But I know that if I don't go now, I will never go. I know I should go but I really don't want to. I want to take the easy and safe rode and stay here. I am so conflicted. I don't know what to do. I just need someone to tell me what I should do.

Current Mood: confused

I saw Madagascar last night. It was pretty funny. It has its moments. But it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I saw Batman Begins today. It was the first matinee showing that I've been to in a long time. It was pretty good. Kind of dark.

I get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning. Hurray for me. Too bad I still have shifts that aren't covered for. I hope I'm not in too much pain so maybe I can cover at least some of my shift on Saturday.

Current Mood: stressed

I woke up this morning to find that we have no water. I was suppose to work from 1-5 today but when I called the water people they said they'd be here sometime in the afternoon. Oh thanks, I don't need water sometime in the afternoon, I need it NOW! Now I can't take a shower, go to the bathroom, and can't go to work because I have to wait here for them to show up SOMETIME IN THE AFTERNOON. Damn it.

Current Mood: crappy

Ok so today was official "hate Blockbuster and its employees" day. Too bad none of us got the memo. I swear, every psycho person in Vancouver came in today. Dominique worked by herself all day and this crazy couple kept harassing her and coming in and cussing at her. Then they kept calling and now is threatening to have Dominique arrested for some reason. They're not very educated so its not like they really have a legitimate reason. Anyways, then Jesse and I worked and every other customer decided they were unhappy and decided today is the day to yell at people. I haven't been yelled at by this many people in one day in my whole lifetime. Today was crazy. Actually, these people are crazy.

But I am kind of scared since I close with Dominique tomorrow and its just the 2 of us.

So all in all it was a productive day, so in one day someone threatened to sue us, someone wanted to arrest us, get us fired, and someone threatened to write a letter.

Days like this make me wonder why Vancouver is so ghetto.

Current Mood: blah

So yesterday work was fun...NOT! I agreed to work 4-close instead of 10 because Jesse said he had to work at 4 in the morning and he was tired. Bullshit, I'm not stupid you don't need to lie to me. The fat cow, hick, and sissy boy spent the whole shift just standing there talking about the movies while Mike and I did everything. I wouldn't have covered his shift if it weren't for the fact that I knew Dominique was closing. I'm covering Andy's shifts so now I have to work tonight, tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. Yay for me. Monday will be the first Monday that Dominique and I will close together in a long time. We used to always close on Mondays together.

I don't want to work tonight. I want to go to the movies instead! Working with Jesse is not what I need right now. And all the bad mouthing and gossip needs to stop right now. I swear if they talk shit about Lynn one more time all of us are going to blow.

I'm so happy that school is over and I don't have to worry about it because work is stressing me out.

Ok, time for a shower, then grocery shopping, and then to a chemistry BBQ.

Current Mood: aggravated
