So Hi.
This is where you'll find most of my rambling thoughts and who knows what else. So exciting. Just make sure you watch your step and don't trip over the sarcasm that has a bad habit of leaving my head.
Much love and EAT MOR COWS!

So its been a while since I've posted... The first thing I have to share is that I think I'm going to finish my business degree and minor in elementary education. I figure this way that if anything happens with Publix, the flea market, or the antique shop I'm working at, that if I can't find a job that involves a business, that I could have education as a backup plan. I can't express how badly I want to be out of college...
In other news, the holidays were pretty boring and mundane, although it was nice being around happy people even if I wasn't super ecstatic myself. I'm posting this article with my new android tablet, mainly in part that I got it due to my laptop dying of old age (Dell I hate you). Its pretty awesome though. Since I've been using it, I've become addicted to Pinterest and have started an all natural body scrub line. The women here seem to love it so hopefully that business will continue to grow..
As far as the new year`s concerned, the first day of the new year was horrible and if each consecutive day for the next 364 days is this bad, then I am going to go live in a cave in the mountains of Chile as a hermit for the rest of my life.
Happy New Years everyone!
On This day in 1991 Rte 35 Theater in Hazlit, the last drive-in in NJ, closes
On Tuesday and Thursday, I have a class from 9:25am-10:40am. My next class starts at 4:30pm and ends at 7:15, therefor I have a ton of time to kill in between classes. For about 15 minutes in between classes, I saw an old friend while she was heading to her next class. Since I've last talked to her, she is engaged and she and her fiance will be moving to England after the wedding because that is where her husband will be stationed, so now she's trying to figure out which college she can attend while being over there.
After being blown away by that, I'm standing on the second story of a building trying to think of things to do when I get a text from another friend, Abe, who wants to study for the quiz that we have in class tomorrow. So I go over to the library and we study for a little bit and then head over to The Boathouse, which is an on-campus bar. While we're there, one of his friends comes over and sits down. Her name is Kait and she's quite amazing. After we all ate, we went and played a few games of pool in the game room. That was fun but with my attention span, I was constantly being reminded that it was my turn to shoot, so eh, the games were a bit long.
Afterwards, we all went over to the fine arts center because Abe needed to practice a little bit before his next class. We found a practice room that had two pianos, one that looked fairly new and the other was from 1839 and absolutely gorgeous. The finish on the wood was flaking and it was a little beat up. It was one of those pianos that were donated for a good cause, but regardless, it had character and made a gorgeous sound when played.
So we go to the room and all, and needless to say, Abe doesn't get to practice any because Kait is playing the old piano the whole time. She is AMAZING. The one thing that she played over and over for me was Lithium by Evanescence. It just absolutely blew me away. I asked her where she learned to play because I've always wanted to learn. She looked at me and replied, "I watched a few videos on YouTube."
So now I have a mission...
I'm going to learn to play the piano.
One Stop
So I'm now sitting in the One Stop student services building on campus and it sucks majorly. Why? The wait time is a little longer than I care to deal with. Not that I'm super impatient, or maybe I am, I just don't feel like sitting in here for almost two hours for them to just hand me a piece of paper so I can request another student loan. Turns out, when I started at UNF, both of my scholarships paid for everything, and I would end up with a book voucher for around $700-$800. Now, due to the university raising tuition, for 4 classes, I'm now having to pay $350 at the very least out of pocket, hence the student loan. UNF, I hate you. .-.
Columbian Please?
It'd be really nice if I could get some coffee right now, or something to give me an extra little buzz of energy before I essentially pass out on the library keyboard.
College has started back up and I'm now into the 2nd day of my "official" major switch from Business to Elementary Education. Should set me back by 1 year but I think that it'll be worth it in the longrun. Heck, kids are kind of fun and you have a direct hand in making a difference in their lives. How awesome is that? I could help nurture the kid that's going to cure cancer, a future president, or even a civil rights activist that may change society's future.
Anyways, my courseload should prove to be interesting and the classes seem like they'll be time consuming. I think I'll do okay though, as long as this field keeps my interest, which I don't think that will take much. It's definitely proving to be more fun than my business major. Even though I switched majors, I still plan on finishing my business major just in case because it never hurts to have a business degree.
In other news, I now work at an antique shop and with an estate sale company. Both are pretty fun and are much better than Publix, which for those of you who don't know what a Publix is, it's a major grocery store chain that is supposedly one of the best in the nation. They may have better stores elsewhere, but I absolutely can't stand the one I'm at. The only reason I'm still there is due to the fact their hopefully going to be paying for me to get my business degree.
It looks like it's raining outside now, like it has been for a while now. We're having to keep an eye on the tropics now too. We've already gotten two storms before it was officially hurricane season, but luckily neither were super bad.
Well this is pretty much all of the madness in my life that I feel like rambling on about at the moment so I'll stop here.
Peace Out
End
