Typing on an iPad takes practice
Cockroach apocalypse
So yesterday I woke up in the morning to go run a little errand with Michelle. When I was walking to the sink, I noticed a (small) dead cockroach! EWWWwW. Anyway, I decided to be a big girl, so I went to the kitchen and got a paper towel to pick it up and flush it down the toilet. While I'm trying to pick it up, the worst thing possible happened. It started crawling. Holy cow, I could not have freaked out more. So I got up my roommate because I clearly needed back up for this situation. We of course were squealing and freaking out about what to do and about who was home that would kill it for us. We discovered that our usual exterminator roommate wasn't home and we had to deal with this ourselves. While we were busy being grossed out it started crawling... Towards the closet. That is one giant no-no. W had to do something quick so we went into our closet and decided that we would have to squish it because our attempts to "shew" it outside just wasn't working. We both decided that we were not using any of our shoes to do the deed, so we grabbed a shoe in the hallway who's owner is still unknown. then that didn't work because it was in a corner. So to wrap the story up, Brittany blindly squished it with a hanger and it eventually stopped crawling with it's head chopped off.
Christmas Party Number 1
My shift last night was from 7:15-1:15, which isn't unusual. What was unusual was how much fun I had at work! It was by far the best time I've had while on the job. The dance party in the dining room, s we had a dj, plenty of characters, and an entire "bay" set up with free cookies and hot chocolate. We were dancing on the counter all night. It put me in such a good mood. One of my favorite moments of the night was when I was on "topping bar". Party in the USA had just come on, and obviously I was excited. I looked behind me at the outside dining and saw a small girl (maybe 5 years old?) hard core breaking it down all by herself. It was so cool but she looked up and saw me watching and fist pumping. She got super embarrassed and went to hide behind her mom. Tying to make her feel more comfortable, continued to look at her and dance like a maniac. Let's be honest, it's impossible to be self conscious when you dance around me, because at least you know you're better than one person! She was laughing and smiling. She started to dance again and then before I knew it she had run inside and walked up to me. In the sweetest little british accent she said, "you're a very good dancer"! I was so cute! So I told her that she was too! She said that she wanted to be a dancer when she grows up and I just told her that she could do whatever she put her heart to, and that luckily, she was clearly a talented dancer, so she'll be just fine. I looked outside at her mom, who was smiling, and she mouthed "thank you" to me. I just smiled and asked the girl if she was hungry because she's been dancing so much!! Eventually she went back outside, but I loved talking to her.
Late Night, Early Morning
I got home at two, and packed and got ready until three thirty in the morning. So I decided that I should lay down for a cat nap before I had to get up to catch the flight. I was planning on leaving at around five twenty, but of course, I overslept and woke up at five fourth. Thankfully my roommate Liz is a very skilled race car driver, and the lines were really short. I got to my gate with plenty if time, and now I am at home!! I love it so much, it feels great to be in my own bed, in my own room, in my house, in my town...even in my state. It's was a beautiful and colorful fall day today, and now I'm going to sleep well, because I'm still running off two hours of sleep. Thank goodness for coffee!!!

'Tis the Season
At the parade I had the BEST magical moment ever! It was literally the greatest ever- Dopey came up to me and kissed my face! I was so surprised and happy that I was just giggling like a five year old when it happened. It definitely made my night. After the the parade was over and I made my way back to Liz (my roommate)'s car we stopped at taco bell and ate way more than we should have. Or, at least I did. Now it's Saturday and I don't start work until 8:15 tonight. I work for the rest of the week until Wednesday when, in the morning I'll catch a flight back home! I really can't wait to visit home. It's a much needed vacation. I'm trying to focus on work and every day that I spend here this week though, just so I don't waste my entire day looking forward to Wednesday. I guess that's all for now! Thanks for reading.

My Weekend
I couldn't sleep last night, so instead of rolling around in bed I got up and cleaned. Don't worry, I wasn't bugging my roomate, she was out watching a movie. I actually got a lot done! I woke up this morning around 10 and went to the Animal Kingdom with Michelle and two of her friends. We went on Expedition Everest 4 times, Dinosaur, the time machine ride, and It's a Bug's Life show/ride thing. We just came back and now I'm getting ready to head to chick fil et and then go to the "night of stars" at hollywood studios. Night of Stars is the talent show for CP's. Hopefully it's actually good, and not completely filled with people who think they can sing. I can only take so much.
Tomorrow is my Monday, but it will be a good one! I don't have work until 4:30 and get out at 10:30. Then I'm going to stay at the Magic Kingdom and wait around for the cast preview of Mickey's Christmas Parade at midnight! We also have our appartment inspection tomorrow, I hope we get the white glove award again! Mhhh, chocolates :) Well I'm going to go now, but I'll update again soon!

Care Package
Back at the appartment, I grabed a knife and opened the envelope very carefully (because I don't really like ripping open letters, it looks sloppy) Indeed, it was printer paper!!! My goodness, this was funny. So I rolled my eyes a little bit and unfolded the piece of paper. There in my hands was a printed e-mail flight confirmation for the 9th to the 12th!!!! My parents are paying for me to fly home next week!!!! I litterally could not have been smiling any more without my lips splitting. I'm still just so happy to be able to visit home. Not that I don't LOVE it here, but I have to admit that I have been a little homesick lately. Needless to say, it was the best care package that I could have ever hoped for.

Wow... i seriously havent posted in forever.
First is an outfit inspired by the first look shown in the movie Anastasia (from when she was little):
The shoes are from DSW. The bracelet is from Macy's. The earings are from Charelotte Rouse. The dress is from shopbop.com.
It's kind of lacking the different blues in the dress, but I still thought the dress was perfect.

That is for you, Will. Because you woke me up, AND you almost ruined toy story 3 for me. But I decided you're just not worth it.... that movie rocks.

It’s been a while…
Coconut is officially the best thing that has ever happened to star bucks. That, and star bucks gift cards, because I got one for my birthday. I also got the Jane Austin book from the Barnes and Nobles Leather-bound Classics collection, a Lilly Pulitzer diary, a book called “How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World”, a new watch from Nordstrom's, new sandals, a dress, a shirt, and MONEY. Not bad at all :) This week is kind of weird. I have finals, but I only have two of them. I have one Wednesday morning at 8am, and one Thursday morning at 8:30am. Then I’m done with the semester? It feels weird. I still have some things to turn into a few classes. I should probably stop procrastinating on those. Oh well. The weather has been REALLY bipolar and I kind of like it. One of my friends from Greensboro is in Maryland, so I’m trying to find a time to hang out with her. I also have interviews for Nanning jobs this week. I’ve been sleeping in really late and I love it. Except for the fact that by the time I get up, the coffee is cold. Boo. I’m having a very laid back cook out at my house this weekend for my birthday, which should be fun. Tomorrow I’m going to introducing God, and Thursday I’m going out to dinner with some friends. I decided that I want a Boston Terrier puppy because they are the cutest, ugliest, weirdest little dogs I have ever seen. Oh yeah, and yesterday I was on tumblr.com and was just looking around. I went to horoscope stuff because, trust me, I was really bored. Anyways, I’m a Taurus and everybody has always told me that I fit the description to a tee. It’s true, I really do, but I found some things yesterday on Taurus’s that literally made me laugh out loud because it’s so me!
examples:
“As a Taurus, it is difficult to predict what will upset you, so when you do lose your cool, people don't know how to react.”
“…they seldom loose control, but when they get angry they can be violent.”
“”Once committed, Taurus demands and gives absolute loyalty.Divorce is highly unlikely.”
“ can be too blunt, they say what’s on their mind.”
“Taurus will suppress his or her real emotions and present a blank exterior…”
Those are just a few. BUT also when people throw together a list of traits, you’re bound to identify with a few of them!

well this post COULD be really long. and honestly, it's probably going to be. but i'm going to try to keep it to a minimum.

- i got into disney
- i think i'm going to come out of school with decent grades!
- i'm quitting my job
- i think i'm going to disney... i think, there's only one factor that keeps me second guessing
- love is in the air... or in my head.
- struggles exist. trying to stay on path. there is something that i need to gain... even though i dont want to
- bff and i had our first argument ever. but lets be real, a year and a half is a good run!! we're good now. love you mich
thats pretty much all i want to get into right now.

4 things
1. Be good
2. Eat
3. Take medicine
4. Call mommy
yes it's funny... she made me repeat it over and over again. then she pop-quized me. It's just so hard to look at that list and take it seriously. Those things are essentially what a lot of my mistakes here can be boiled down to. Well... the day was long. I'm seeing my school and my friends in a whole different perspective. I'm going to go to bed and hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day with everybody.

my weekend
Thursday- I went to school and had a bit of a freak out. I called my mom crying for no reason at all. she came to school and we went out for a bit before my next class which really helped. then I had work which is kind of a pain in the ass. Thursday was not my day. It really made it clear that I need to be re-evaluated. So we set up an appointment but unfortunatly at the infamous shepard pratt. We couldn't find anywhere else to go. Even worse, the Dr that I'm seeing (Dr. Walsh) is the one who admitted me to shepard pratt when I went inpatient. Talk about awkward. When I came home from work my parents asked me if I was feeling depressed because I wasn't doing good in school. I'm doing fine in school. I don't really know why but I just flipped out at them. I was yelling about how I can have a bad day without my being a complete faliure at everything I do. Needless to say, I took it out of hand but I just snapped. It was weird
Friday- I had school in the morning and work in the afternoon. I didn't go to bible study but instead ended up going to dinner at my grandparent's house. I met my grandmother's older sister for the first time. She's 80 and lives in california. She was so funny! Unlike my grandmother she drinks, curses, and tells dirty jokes. I was dying, it was so funny. I didn't neccisarily want to go to dinner at my grandparents because they usually stuff me full of food and I actually ate a pretty big lunch at work. It ended up being fine and when I came home I went to bed feeling pretty good.
Saturday- I finally got to sleep in!!! This never happens and it felt so, so good. When I woke up I felt a little relieved because for some unknown reason, I had come to the decision that I was going to quit my job. I don't feel like they treat me well there, they schedule me for litterally 27-29 hours a week, and the pay isn't even worth the gas money I spend to drive to the mall. All in all the job is stressing me out more than it is helping and I really just want to feel good again. My mother did NOT like this idea. She told me that I have a problem following through with things and that I was just giving up. I thought she was being a little rediculous and I told her that it just isn't worth the money and the stress. We were arguing about it on the way downstairs and my dad got involved in the conversation. He made some good points. He told me that I should talk to my manager and tell her that I need to be scheduled for no more that 20 hours a week. Then tell her that I really like the job but it's just not working out the way that I had hoped, especially with gas money, and that at the end of my semester I'm not going to be able to work here any more. That way it wont say that I "quit" but it will have retired my position or resigned with decent notice. I also had to tell my manager that I wouldn't be able to come in to work on Wednesday because I have a doctors appointment that I can't miss. If she fires me over that, then my next employer can just see that she fired me because I had a doctors appointment, and that is obviously an unreasonable expectation of priorities. I decided that I would take his advice and my mom then reminded me that I shouldn't make any big decisions right now because I'm not seeing things clearly. My depression is warping my vision of things and I should really wait until I get my medicines fixed. Then dad took me to starbucks and we went to the grocery store. When we came home I left right away to go to Michelle's modeling at Lord & Taylors and work after that. I had just enough gas to get to the bank so I could withdraw money and fill up my car. No surprise, the second I got to the bank they locked the doors and said that they were closed. There were litterally people inside still waiting in line but they wouldn't let me come in. I was so frustrated!! Why why why do I keep ending up in less than desirable situations. I called my dad and he graciously drove all the way out to clarksville and filled up my tank. From the gas station I hurried to the mall and made it just in time to see Michelle's show. She looked so great! Then I got to hang out with her, kim, amanda, lauren, laurens boyfried, vicki, and vicki's mom for a little bit before I went to work. I was supposed to be off of work at 10 but they're doing a new "floor set" and people came in at 9pm which made closing difficult so they asked me to stay until 11pm. I did and it wasn't too bad. At least I get more money. Apparently the floor set people didn't leave untill 8am! I'm sooo glad I didn't get scheduled for that. They did that Friday, Saturday, and are doing it right now until the morning.
Sunday (today)- I woke up on time to go to church, but I didn't end up going. Instead I hung out with my parents and just relaxed which was definatly needed. I went to work from 12-6pm (opening to closing on a sunday) I came home and my parents were at a tennis match. I was supposed to make dinner for myself but I ended up falling asleep in my bed and was woken up by my mom when they came home at 8 (an hour early) She made me an ommlette and cut up a grapefruit. My parents and I started to watch Iron Man II and I made a strawberry smoothie (yum) But we all got tired so we're hopefully going to finish watching it tomorrow. Anyways, I'm in bed now and I'm really tired. Tomorrow I have school and work. So nothing too exciting.
So that was my weird, but not so weird weekend. Hopefully my week is sunnier and a little bit happier!
This time I really mean it!

Psyching Myself Out Of Success
No problem. I know how scary such things can be from my own time in school. For my class you can always hand stuff in late with no penalty. I'm anti hidden agendas and am just concerned with students undertanding of the subject matter.
New favorite teacher ever. Mercy is present when asked for with honesty. Life is bitchin'.. I am going to sleep well tonight.

Amazing Grace
my lame weekend.
Monday: school, bank, Dr's, Babysitting
Tuesday: school, work
Wednesday: school, essay writing time, maybe some decent sleep?!
Thursday: school, work
Friday: school, work, bible study, NOT driving down to greensboro to go to formal
Saturday: work, being bitter about formal
Sunday: work, looking at pictures from formal.
Yeah, I can't go to my sororities formal because i'm considered "alum" right now and in the new bylaws it says that we cant attend foral events. I can't tell you how pissed I was when I heard this. People are so fucking stupid sometimes. Yeah, alpha chi... this REALLY makes me want to come back next year, touched that you miss me so much...? There are a few girls who said i should just show up anyways because what is exec going to do? and THEY at least really want me there. I wouldn't want to ruin their precious formal with drama though, so I'm going down on my own terms to hang out with the girls who are real sisters.
I get so worked up some times. Shewwt. Ok well there is acid in my esophogus and it's really starting to annoy me. Gonna go paint my toe nails.
