Now Playing: Nothing :(
Classes started on Wednesday, and on Thursday we had a snow day. I was so excited to go back to school, see my friends, walk on campus, and get back into a routine as I was a little lazy over break. But what I didn't realize about going back to school was the homework load that I would receive. For just one class, I have to outline a chapter of over thirty pages and write a small paper. But I have been struggling just to do the outline because some parts are important, and some aren't. But to discover what is important, I have to read all these pages.
It's freezing outside, so I've been in the room all day. Exhausted from lack of sleep. I haven't been sleeping well lately. It takes me forever to fall asleep and then I wake up throughout the night. I also haven't been feeling so great, either. This morning, I'll admit it, I just woke up and cried. I wanted to go home, back to sleeping in my bed; being able to sleep well; and be with my family. I have pictures on my wall now of my parents, my brother, a cousin, and my friends. I just appreciate so much more being at school.
Well, I have to go back to outlining my stuff. Tonight I'm just staying in after a crazy night last night.

Cute, Fluffy Kittens
Now Playing: "What the Hell" by Avril Lavigne
Have you ever had a bad day where that just everything seemed to be going wrong? That's what I had. And multiply it times a thousand, pretty please. Let me give you a brief recap of what happened: I experienced my first time getting yelled at by a customer. This woman came up to me and asked me if we had shoes in the back, so I went to check. When I came out, the phone started to ring, so I had to grab it. Then, that was the time we had like five or six transactions at once. Once I got a break, she immediately came up to me and asked if I was going to tell her whether or not we had those shoes. I told her I got busy and was sorry and she had an attitude the whole time. After that, I went to down the box compactor and the boxes were all messed up from other people in the plaza. I spent ten minutes or so trying to fix it; but with it being in the low 20's, it was so cold. So, I put my boxes in and was about to leave when a store manager from another store came to me and lectured me how to properly fix the compactor (she did what I did, guess she just got lucky) and then had me help her. After, an elderly woman came into the store complaining she fell. So I went to tell the person whose store she fell in front of, and the store owner and I found where the drip was coming from and once we figured out how to get rid of it, I turned to leave and fell on my back. My wrists are killing me...just sprained. And then I kept messing up at work. I was so embarrassed.
In July, I had to put my two-year-old cat, Beaux, to sleep. I used to hate cats, and for some reason, I fell in love with them after meeting Beaux when he was like three weeks old. Beaux never scratched up furniture, bit, or clawed at you. He was such a perfect cat: and got along great with our dogs. I have wanted a kitten since he passed, but my parents already take care of my puppy, Moose. I am subscribed to a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube and Elle, one of them, uploaded a video introducing her new kitten. (You can watch the video, here.) This video almost brought me to tears - and inspired me to get a kitten once I graduate college and get a place of my own for Moose and I.
Everything else is going okay. I move back to college on Monday, because of a storm where I live is getting on Tuesday. So instead of me sleeping in the building alone, my friend, who lives 30 minutes away, is picking me up and I'm going to spend the night at her house. I'm so excited! It's crazy that the second semester of my freshman year of college is here. I plan to do better in classes, work out, and find a job. So much to do - I hope it doesn't add too much stress!
Talk to you all soon!

I Hate Labeling Blog Entires...
Now Playing: "Outta Your Mind" by Lil john & LMFAO
Why, hello there! :) I deleted my other blog. It just had so much negativity, and I didn't want to be surrounded by that anymore. Amy and I tried to brainstorm a while ago on names...and it was an epic fail. Today, I was thinking about my favorite things. Starbucks and Coach are on my top of that list. So, it fits...for now.
I hope everyone's Christmas went well! I got so many nice things, and then my nineteenth birthday was a week and a half later (on the third), so I got more nice things then. Now, I'm just focusing on getting back to school. I just ordered books for next semester and the total was $560.00. I have to get new binders and stuff, nothing too exciting.
What were ya'll's New Years Resolutions? Mine were to lose weight and save my money. How cliched are those? I actually overdrew on my account. It was just $5.00, thank God. But it was just a bummer. I've been trying to get a few more hours at work and save my money. Before I go to school I have to get a new OPI base and top coat, and three makeup items from Clinique. I'm going to wait until the 16th or 17th to get those, to make sure I have the most money I can. I also decided to get a job at school, if I can find a decent one. Being so close to Boston, the girls on my floor and I have a plan to go more frequently than we did first semester. We need to go exploring! As I'm sure ya'll think, Boston is so expensive. So I need the money. (Plus there's so many cute boutiques and designer stores there!)
Last night, my friend texted me about the iPhone coming to Verizon. She works at Best Buy, and her boss went to a last-minute conference held by Verizon. They announced that they are getting the iPhone! And they are releasing more details on Tuesday. I already told my parents. I have wanted an iPhone since they came out, but with my family and I having Verizon, it wasn't really possible. I guess good things do come to those who wait!
This break I have been surrounding myself with books. I read Dear John and Sugar and Spice: A L.A. Candy Novel. Now, I'm reading The Last Song. I really like reading. When it's late on a snowy evening and my candle is burning - it's perfect. I want to try reading a lot more, too.
I have lots to do this week! So I'll talk to you all soon.
