SAN DIEGO, HERE I COME BABY

I am super excited because I finally have got the "okay" to go to San Diego as far as school goes.. I can make up my test if the test date doesn't change in my Macro class and no one else has a test so its just a matter of letting them know I won't be there (well, in the classes where attendance matters..) So that totally made my day yesterday. She told me if the test date doesn't change she will allow me this one time to take the test on a date before everyone else so everything is awesome. I am wicked excited!! :-)

I get to pick up jeans today that I brought in to get hemmed a week ago, 4 pairs. That's pretty exciting, First pairs of jeans I have ever brought anywhere to get hemmed!! I think I am going to buy a few more pairs at Urban because they have a like buy 1 get 1 free for jeans and the 3rd one is only $10 :-)

Brett wants to get a game that comes out tomorrow so I think i might make him go to urban with me so i can do a little shopping since i have a 40% discount and a few things that I want.. When I work, I have to wear clothes that like represent the style and they cant say any other brand or such on them (which isnt a huge deal cause i don't really buy stuff that says brand name on it) but i think i am lacking a few kind of more casual shirts, its a really casual store so.

Speaking of Urban, My first shift last night went well. It was kind of boring I basically sorted and organized clothes the whole time and made the racks and such look neat. I let a few people into the fitting rooms.. I think I'll learn cash next week or so, hopefully. ha :-P It was cool though. The people I worked with were really nice so that was awesome. apparently I can currently look forward to working black friday? haaa yay ;-) that's probably going to make me go insane but we will see, we will see..

On another note, we havent been able to figure out how the heat works in our apartment yet so its been really freezing. I gotta make brett go over and tell the office to have someone come look at it or tell us how to use it.. or both.. haaa we are so on top of things ;-)

My parents are in Florida for the next week, they left on sunday come back next tuesday. I get to watch their house and such.. wooot ;-) me and my aunt beth. have to go over there today after class.. But my dad showed my how to use the grill so brett and i are ridiculously excited because that means we can have GRILLED FOOD.. This is a big deal because, we dont have a grill... so we are going to the grocery store after my class today and getting stuff to grill with then heading to my parents house and hopefully watching heroes and prison break because i forgot to record them last night and my mom said hers should have recorded but their cable is being screwy so :-/ gotta hope that is working!!

I NEED MICHAEL SCOFIELD IN MY LIIIIFE ;-)

I think I put too much clothing int he washer, it sounds like a friggin stampede in the kitchen.
OH SHIT.

fall<3

The Eastern Trail

Fall is beautiful. The foliage is wonderful, people are relaxed, and everything seems sort of tranquil in a sense. It makes me feel comfortable. Temperature is perfect, Can go outside in whatever clothing I want and not feel too hot or too cold; its just absolutely perfect.

Anyways, I am supposed to be going to San Diego with Brett's family from Nov. 4-Nov. 11 because Brett's brother, Kurt, is getting out of the military. Unfortunately, I have at least one test maybe two during this week although one stands to tentatively move to another day and the other could be before we leave which i am SERIOUSLY CROSSING MY FINGERS IS THE CASE.. Both teachers policies basically say that unless it is a documented health issue with a written doctor's note, I HAVE to be there.. So if the tests happen to fall in that span then I can't go to San Diego which I seriously hope does not happen.. I've never been to the west coast and I would absolutely love to. Unfortunately, school is more important so I may not have a choice. I am just hoping I find out soon so that way I can tell Brett's mom so she does not buy me a plane ticket that I won't be able to use.. ugh, it makes me so sad! I can't even think about it.

I figure it like this. If I am meant to go, then everything will work out. Otherwise, I will have to stay here and take care of my responsibilities to my education and everything else.

Also, I got a 94 on my Macroeconomics test that I had last Wednesday, I just got the test back today.. The next text for this class could potentially hold me back from San Diego, but the teacher said that the schedule is going to be changed and the date may or may not be changed so I am crossing my fingers.. CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR ME!! I need it!! :-P we will see though. I hope everything goes well. I want to go to San Diego so badlyyy...

My little bumble bee!

My baby, is so friggin cute. She is going to be so adorable on Halloween night!! haha<3 I am really excited. I love Halloween, i don't know why, its not like i ever do anything super special.. I just love it. it makes me happy<3.

Falling out of Line

People around me always push to fit into the way things should be. The average plan for a huge percentage of students now has become go to high school, go to college and get a degree and consider going further with your education, get a career and settle in life. I hate falling into the mindset of all these people but I feel it is so hard to get anywhere without a college degree in this day. With the economy going the way it is, some of us could need up being forced into alternative routes because of inability to pay for an over-priced college. I myself have even found myself scattering and nervous about whether or not next year I will even be able to take out loans to afford my education I know it is something I need to have; it's something I want for myself. Education is important to me for my own personal reasons, because I love to learn. I am not getting this degree for anyone but myself. I have a hunger for learning and honestly, I am going to be kind of broken up when I graduate school I think just because its a routine I am comfortable and set with at the moment. The trouble is, it is so hard now a days from what I have seen to find a reasonable paying job without some sort of degree that could actually support a family which is something I crave as well for my future. I have many goals I want to achieve and I refuse to let anything get in my way, including the economy if we wind up going into a recession.

I also feel that the bail out was somewhat ridiculous and I just pray it does what the government suspects it will do. I'm sorry if you don't understand me right now, but I don't know how much this government boost will do for the GDP (gross domestic product, it basically tells us how much the country is spending both consumers and corporations for those of you who are unaware.) which has everything to do with consumer spending. Yes companies will have more money, but will it be put in the right direction? Money needs to be put into consumer's pockets because right now with the recent fall outs of several large banks, people are panicking and are not spending what they might have before. They have very little confidence in the economy and I suppose I don't really have much confidence either for that matter. Consumer's are the people who will be the ones spending, company's won't invest without knowing a consumer will buy there product so the economy really seems to be lying in the hands of the consumer... yet we seem to be doing nothing to really help them in my opinion. I may be completely off, but based on my macroeconomics class and what I have heard from people around me and on the news, thats just how I feel.. please feel free to share your opinion if you disagree or agree or anything, i dont mean to offend. ( i also have a test coming up in economy so its good for me to practice talking in economic terms lol don't make fun of me I'm a nerd i know it, but like i said, i value my education!)

I love writing too, only a month into the semester and I am aching and yearning for something to write about, probably why I am here practically writing an essay on my blog.

Anyways, I wish college was not so required. If you already have certain skills, like I know Brett has ridiculous computer skills and such, why should you need a paper to tell others that you are qualified and truly hold the skills that are required by a degree? It just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Isn't the whole point of a degree to learn skills and if you already know the skills it just seems like a complete waste of time.

I don't know. I do find myself beginning to worry about the economy. Yet I can't help but want to go shopping for some new jeans despite the fact that I know I should be saving my money. I need shopping; I am such a girl. Oh the life of me.

:-)

Brett and I went apple picking yesterday and had a little date day. it was a looot of fun, i really enjoyed it :-) today we made an apple pie.. TOTALLY FROM SCRATCH! made the crust and everything and even though its appearance kind of needs some serious help, it tastes really delicious and that is what is important :-)

I'm excited for Halloween. We got foxy a costume she is either going to be a little devil or a lady bug hahahah<3 so friggin cute!

I have two big-ish tests coming up this week, one in macro and one in accounting. I think macro will go okay and im hoping accounting will too but im a little bit nervous/iffy so we will see.. :-/ wish me luck, ive still got like 4-5 days to study for them so THANK GOD!

I love brett and I's relationship. we are so, unique i think and it makes me happy. i just love us, we are so perfect. i cant picture a more perfect love.

I have everything I could possibly ever want and ask for.
Life is beautiful :-)
