I've been off school for nearly 3 weeks and have not posted once on my blog. Well, that changes today!
Let's take a stroll through the last few months of my life, shall we?
January
- Started working back at Shoppers Drug Mart for my sister; school is starting slow, but beginning to speed up slowly and surely.
- Working at Shoppers reiterates my loathing for retail, and I will never work there again.
- Working at Shoppers brings back my repetitive stress injury in my shoulders, and I can't move my arms much above my waist level after working for 4 hours.
- Working at Shoppers brings back at a heightened level, my back injury which causes me to miss shifts and make my employer (i.e. my brother and sister-in-law) believe that I am lazy and have a poor work ethic. In reality, I'm in agony most of these days because I cannot sit, stand or lay down for any more than 15 minutes at a time.
Summary of January: School is OK, job not so much but I need money.
February
- Stillll working. Loves it b'y.
- Attempted to scheme to get my friend to Halifax by paying for a plane ticket to get her up. It would have been epic had all parties been able to agree, and by all parties, I mostly mean my mother.
- School feels like it's .2 of a second from world-ending Apocalypse.
- Mid term break happens - Mike and I go to Saint John to pick up his new truck because he began working for a new company at this time. The recession is affecting everyone, apparently. It's no longer just for seeing on the television, it's affecting my personal life at this point.
- In Saint John I experience the loveliness that it is. Saint John gives me pleasure being there, looking at the architecture, having the big city feeling and being so close to the U.S. border and yet being so isolated from the rest of Canada. Plus, not everything is in French like the rest of New Brunswick.
- I also experience the joys of sleeping in a King Sized bed... my Queen upon returning to Halifax seemed like a twin. I dream of the day when I can have my own Californian King. The bigger, apparently, really is the better.
- I rock out on two mid terms after a seriously stressful study session with my friend, Dee. A+!!
Summary: School is beginning to kick me in the ass, I'm still working but I had the opportunity to take a small holiday.
March
- The world-ending Apocalypse has occurred - project after project is due - all with equal amounts of work needed to be done and none that can be pushed to the back burner. Classes have become optional at this time in hopes that I can get the assignments done. My hair is greying, I'm having panic attacks, and my poor, unsuspecting fiance is getting the brunt of my wrath.
- I pray for the sweet release of death with school and work, and just want it all to be over.
- Mental breakdown number 256 of my life occurs, and I call my "Mommy" asking her to bring me home after the semester.
- Mental breakdown number 257 happens when I realize I'm going home for 3 weeks... and did not request the time off from Shoppers.
- Biggest argument of my life with my brother happens, and mental breakdowns 258 thru 265 happens in a 5 hour period. My poor fiance has no idea how to deal with a hysterical woman.
- I have the biggest mouth ever when under the influence of alcohol. That's all I'm going to say, I dare not say more.
Summary: I hate school.
April
- The world returns to its blissful state, but only after breakdowns of 265 to 270 in a six day period.
- I nearly got a job. But then I didn't (271).
- I came home, and life was great.
So that brings us back to present day. I'm heading back to Halifax on Saturday and I have to put my head back into the whole "responsible adult" thing instead of just lazing at home and watching movies all day. I rather enjoy this no responsibility thing, though. I have to get my summer tires put on, spring clean my car and my apartment, and more than likely work 40 hours. Joy. Bliss.
I have not seen Mike in 19 days, and surprisingly, I haven't been pining away for him like a lovesick teenager like I thought I would be. BUT - I have gotten insanely addicted to Disney sugarpop teen sensations like Zac Efron and the Jonas Brothers... maybe I'm channelling my loneliness in different ways? God knows I WOULD NOT be doing this if I were in Halifax. My teenybopper revives itself with a passion when I come back to the island lol.
Anyway, I'll try to post more later!
