Finally, it is here! I'm so glad!

Work was really slow tonight. We pretty much just stood around twiddling our thumbs. LOL...and who does that anymore?

I'm going shopping with my grandma tomorrow. She's been wanting to take me shopping, but tomorrow is the first chance we've gotten. It should be fun, and it'll give me something to do for the first part of the day. Kyle and I may go see that new movie "Step It Up" tomorrow night. I really can't wait to see it. It looks so good.

So, school starts Monday, and my little brother is going to be sophomore. I can't believe it. I am really starting to feel old....especially since I have two cousins in college now, one that is a senior, and then my brother. Ugh....I hate being a grown up.

Starting Tuesday I will be babysitting three kids of one of the pharmacists I work with. Their names are Darby (10), Tara (5), and Doogan (2). They are really great kids. I've already kept them once and they were a blast. Right now I will be keeping them two days a week, since the mom is a part-time pharmacist. I will be picking them up after school and then taking them to their home and keeping them until mom gets home. It should be fun and it'll help bring in a little bit more money, since I'm not getting much at the pharmacy. But it'll be good experience for me.

I'm starting to get too anxious for Daytona. I really just want to know something right now!! You know? Sometimes I am just way too impatient.

I have my medical terminology final on Tuesday morning, and I haven't even studied yet. I need to get on that. It shouldn't be too bad though...well, all except the part where we are given certain words/phrases and we have to give the correct definition or medical term for it. That part really screws me up because I second guess myself and end up going against my gut instinct. Oh well....I did okay on the midterm, so this one shouldn't be too bad.

gatorjunki sleepless night Aug 9th, 2006 6:42:10 am - Subscribe

It is way too early for me to be up, but yet I'm not surprised. I hardly slept at all last night. I didn't go to bed until 1 because I couldn't sleep. Then I woke up at 2, 4, 5:30, and again at 6:30....and now here I sit at 7:30 wide awake and watching Good Morning America. I never do that!!! I don't know what's wrong with me, but I need my sleep!!! I tried laying back down and going back to sleep, but it just didn't happen. I just want some sleep....I work 2-8 today....I know it's not long, but when I don't get my sleep, I feel like crap the whole entire day. Ugh.....I just want sleep!!!

Here's the lyrics from the hot new song "Chasing Cars," by Snow Patrol. When I actually sit and listen to the lyrics, I can't help but think of Kyle and I, and it gives me peace of mind. Kyle and I have been getting along so well lately...not that we haven't ever gotten along in our three years together, but it just seems more so recently......so here you go:
"Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

gatorjunki STRESS!!! Aug 8th, 2006 11:06:40 am - Subscribe

Okay. So, I've been way too stressed out lately and it's really starting to get to me. I feel like all I am anymore is moody and emotional. I can't think of moving without getting all teary-eyed.

I have found a few apartments that are very nice and reasonable prices. They are close to the beach and to the school. I'm going sometime to check them out.

I just found out that I don't have to take the placement exam for the college. They said that since they have my college transcripts from SFCC, that I don't have to take it. So I can actually go to the beach next Wednesday and relax.

I got my letter in the mail today about the interview. I am officially in Phase 2 of the application process now. My interview is Wednesday, October 4 at 8:30. It's ten minutes long, which isn't bad. After my interview, I should get a letter two weeks later telling me if I am accepted or not. They are taking 10 applicants, with 2 alternates. The following is the Selection Committee Evaluation Criteria:
1. High School GPA
2. Completed required prerequisite/general education college courses with "C" or better grade take at or transferred to dBCC
3. Overall college GPA
4. Personal references
5. Aptitude exam score
6. Knowledge of Radiologic Technology Profession--tour and interview
7. Interpersonal Communication
8. Maturity
9. Motivation
10. Work Experience
11. HMC employee

So, there ya go. That's what I'm up against. I just really hope I get in. I don't know if I can handle another rejection. I'm ready to get done with school, so I can get on with my life and settle down and be even more happy.

gatorjunki It's August...where'd the rest of the year go??!! Aug 1st, 2006 11:30:17 am - Subscribe

Yep. Not much is going on today. I don't work until 3:30, so I'm stuck here at the house doing laundry....my most hated chore. I think I'd rather clean the toilet than do laundry.

I have a little bit of a headache today. It's either from staying up late reading or for sleeping late this morning. Not sure which one. But it's all good. I was just kind of walking around the house in a daze...but I was woken up by a freakin' spider crawling out of my bathroom sink drain!!! How freaky movie is that?! Scared me!!! I hate spiders so much. So, I got the Windex and sprayed that joker down until he was weak, and then I slapped him with the fly-swatter. Down with you!!! HAHAHA That'll teach you to mess with me!

Everything for DBCC is slowly getting in order. They finally got my college transcripts settled, now I'm just waiting for the high school transcripts to be received and evaluated. I haven't gotten a letter yet about interviews, but I'm sure it'll be coming soon. I just wish I knew so I could start planning things....like a house, a job (if applicable), and how my classes/clinicals will run. I want answers now!!! Sometimes I'm too impatient....but most of the time I'm patient.

Kyle is taking Haylee and Justin to see Monster House. I wish I could go. I really wanted to see that movie, despite seeing the previews a million times. LOL. I've heard it's really good though. I really want to see Miami Vice. I think we might be going to see that Thursday.

Anywho. Nothing exciting, as you see.....hence the rambling. Have a good one. Later!

Family pictures this morning....ugh. So, much fun...not. But I look good.

I'm so glad it's the weekend. I'm tired of working. It's been a long week. I'm not doing much, but it's nice to have a day off.

I was going through some old stuff last night and reminiscing. It was hilarious and depressing all at the same time. It's funny when I go back and look at stuff people signed in my yearbook my senior year, and then compare it to now. Like Brett and Derrick....they were like "I hope that when you remember me, you will think of me with a smile. Keep in touch." LOL...little did they know we would all be hanging out like family these days. And Kyle....his was just hilarious.....and now we're three years into a relationship. It was just fun to go back and look at stuff people wrote and how people looked. It's hard to believe it was four years ago!! I feel old!

gatorjunki The weekend is almost here! Jul 27th, 2006 12:44:21 pm - Subscribe

So, things are looking up. I got a letter in the mail on Monday from DBCC stating that I had passed the aptitude exam. It also stated that they would be contacting applicants in late summer to early fall to schedule interviews. So, that is a good thing. I also found out that I actually had to apply to the college, so I got that all done and I am now able to get onto their FalconNet (which is sort of like eSantafe). Now I am just waiting to hear back from the admissions office that they do have my transcripts and are getting everything transferred correctly.

In the mean time, I have been trying to search for rentals in Daytona. I know that it's a little too soon to be planning this kind of stuff, especially since I don't know if I got in or not, but if I don't find out until October on acceptance, and classes start in January, I need to be finding something. So, I've been spending day and night searching for places. I've found a few good spots, but it's just stressing me out because I won't be able to work while I'm in the program, so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to afford rent, let alone everything else. It's going to be tight, but I think I can handle it...even if I have to work while in the program. We'll see.

Haven't been feeling well for a week now. I just started out feeling really dizzy. Then it progressed into a cough on Saturday. Now it's coughing with lots of congestion in my chest and head. And I can't talk worth crap! It sucks. It's really been effecting how I feel. Luckily I've been having to go into work at 3, so I've been able to get plenty of rest. Hopefully, one day, I'll feel better.

I'm so ready for the weekend! My last day at the L & W is Saturday. Kyle and I are going to Daytona next Tuesday and Wednesday. I have to take DBCC's aptitude exam on Wednesday morning, so I figured it'd be easier to spend the night, that way I'm not driving to Daytona at 5 in the morning.

It's raining....it's so nice. Now is the time when I wish I didn't have to go to work in an hour. I love rain. I love to just lay in the bed and listen to it on the roof.

So, yeah. That's all that's going on. Nothing exciting...but then again, it's never exciting when you're sick.

gatorjunki Good news!! Jun 17th, 2006 8:28:26 pm - Subscribe

Good evening, kids!

Lots of good news...well, only two things, actually.

Kyle is officially a full-timer as of today. If he wants to continue on for management, he could be a manager in about a year and a half, or two.

The other good news is that I got my A.A. diploma in the mail today!! Wahoo!! At least I finally have something to show for the four years I've been sweating over school. It just makes me feel good to know that I've at least accomplished something after high school.

I worked on my dad's present for Father's day. I just made a little scrapbook with different pictures of me over the years. My mom bought a picture frame that I decorated and put a picture of me and my dad in. I was probably about a year old in the picture. So cute.

Lady and the Tramp is such an awesome movie. I haven't watched it in forever. Classic movie...a good one, too.

I am convinced that I am making an A in medical terminology. The software/online class is so user friendly. I've gotten nothing but A's on the quizzes and tests. Bring on that midterm! I'm ready for it!!

As for other areas of my life, they are busy. Work is keeping me busy six days a week.

But I am thinking about leaving the liquor and wine store. Don't get me wrong. I love working with the people there, and I love the social aspect of it, but it's the manager I can't stand. Let alone I am treated like a kid at home, and even more so at work. How ridiculous is that? She talks to me like I'm freakin' five years old or something. Not my idea of a real job. So, I'm thinking about leaving, and apparently I'm not the only one. But Nick (from the pharmacy) is going out of the country next month, so I can probably pick up all of his hours. Oh yeah....I'd much rather get more hours making $8/hr. than the $6.75 I'm getting at the liquor store. And I was offered a GOOD paying babysitting job today by another pharmacist that I work with. Just something that I can keep in mind.

I'm trying to get everything in line for my application process for SFCC and DBCC. Everything is set for SFCC. I'm just waiting on a letter to tell me yes or no. As for DBCC, I'm waiting for one of my references to send a letter back, and I'm waiting for DBCC to get my core classes needed for the program transferred and into their system. They've gotten my college transcripts, but they just need to transfer the credits for the required core classes. I need to call them about that on Monday. They told me that I could go online and check it (kind of like eSantafe), but I guess they don't have me in the system, so I couldn't access it, therefore making me do things the old fashion way. What a bummer....LOL.

I'm trying to get Kyle to teach me to ride the motorcycle, but we just don't have the time. I want to at least know how to ride by October for Biketoberfest, but I don't know. Time is flying by so fast. He already wants an upgrade of his bike, and he said when he did that, I could just get the one he has now. Which that isn't bad. I love it. I'm a speed demon!

Went to the doctor the other day. Found out I have a cyst on my right breast. Talk about freaking out! I was scared. They scheduled me for an ultrasound and mammogram to make sure it wasn't cancerous or anything. It all turned out okay. It's just something that I have to keep an eye on, and if something changes, I have to let them know ASAP. "Welcome to womanhood" as the radiologist told me yesterday. Yeah....

Anywho. The world keeps on spinning and I have things to do. Toodles!

gatorjunki Hello.... Jun 12th, 2006 3:34:31 pm - Subscribe

Yeah. I know it's been a while, but there's not much I can do about that.

The wedding this past weekend went okay. I feel sorry for Ty and Suzy, though. I don't think it went as well as they wanted it to (or should have been). But it was a nice little vacation in Jacksonville. It was nice to just get away for a few days.

We went to Dave & Buster's Friday night for the rehearsal dinner. It's was a hoppin' place. First time I'd ever been there. Everyone did this photo booth where you can "make babies." It takes your picture and your significant other's and generates a baby for you. Mine and Kyle's turned out cute. LOL....out of everyone's, we won the contest for cutest baby!! LOL.

Saturday was the wedding. It was at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. The church was absolutely beautiful!!! The reception was across the street. We had so much fun. I don't think I've ever danced so much in my entire life. That night, all of Kyle's siblings and significant other's (minus Ty and Suzy)and I went out to eat. We had a good time sitting around and talking.

Yesterday Kyle and I left as early as possible and came home. We were going to go to the beach, but decided against it....we were just ready to get home. We got here and went to Derrick's house and hung out there for a while. That night we went and saw 'Cars.' That was the COOLEST movie. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on DVD.

And it was back to work this morning for me.

No fun. My vacation started and ended in a heartbeat.

Today's weather is crappy. Tropical Storm Alberto is moving through the Gulf. It's suppose to hit land either tonight or tomorrow ( I haven't heard the latest), but we're already getting wind and rain from it. Yucky, but we need it.

Sarah, I promise I will write you as soon as I get some extra free time!! Happy birthday to Josiah!! I love you guys!

A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though
the weather that morning was questionable and clouds
were forming, she made her daily trek to the
elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the
winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her
daughter would be frightened as she walked home from
school and she herself feared that the electrical
storm might harm her child. Following the roar of
thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut
through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly
got into her car and drove along the route to her
child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the
child would stop, look up and smile. Another and
another were to follow quickly and with each the
little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother's car drew up beside the child she
lowered the window and called to her, "What are you
doing? Why do you keep stopping?" The child answered,
"I am trying to look pretty. God keeps taking my picture."

May God bless you today as you face the storms that
come your way.

Well, thank goodness it's Friday. Payday!! And two paychecks at that. Well, I was suppose to get one on Wednesday, but today was the first chance I had to get it. They couldn't find my check at Publix today. I wasted half of my morning waiting for them to find it. Turns out it was in the manager paychecks. Too bad I don't get a manager salary for my troubles.

Tonight will be a busy night at the L&W. Not really looking forward to it. I'm still a little wishy-washy on some things and I'm taking on a cold, so I'm not feeling the greatest. But we'll see.

Stopped by Kyle's to feed the fish, and his grandpa said that he thinks they lost Jack. They let him out about 5 yesterday afternoon and haven't seen him since. I hope he is okay and is just roaming around...or either wandered back to Kyle's parent's house. It would just kill me if Jack was dead. Yeah, I know we could just get another cat, but Kyle and I have come to love Jack so much. He's like our kid. I do hope he's okay.

As for me, I'm going out of my mind. It's just driving me crazy that I can't talk to Kyle. He always wants to know how my day was and all, and it's driving me crazy that I can't tell him. I just miss him so much. Any song I hear makes me think of him, and I've been seeing people that are the same build as Kyle and think it's him for a minute and then realize...oh yeah, Kyle is in the mountains.

I miss him so much. I'm ready for him to come home. Yeah, I know to some of you it must seem so sad for me to miss him so much, but is it so wrong to miss your best friend? Ughh.....

First day at the L&W today. It went fairly fast. I learned a lot. I still need to get the hang of a few things, but I'll learn fast. I'm just a little leary about counting down my own cash drawer....I'm spoiled at Publix and not having to do it. LOL. Payday is on Wednesday, so that is nice. A little extra cash in the middle of the week. And between Pulix and the L&W, I'm pretty much full time. I'm working Mondays thru Saturdays. Oh yeah. Finally a little extra cash flow.

I'm lonely this afternoon/night. Kyle is going out with some friends, and I get to stay home and be bored.

I wish I had some money to go do something...I don't care. I guess I'll just be running on the treadmill, watching some TV, and going to bed early. Oh well. As long as I get to see him before he goes on his freikin' camping trip. I don't think I can handle a whole week without him. Well, I've done it before, but that doesn't mean I like it. Going a few days without seeing him is okay, because it makes the time that we finally get to see each other even better. But I'm going to miss him.

I started looking over my online class stuff. They start on Monday. They seem like they will be challenging, but I'm sure if I stay on top of it like I did my other online class, I will have no problem

Kyle and I took the bike for a ride today. We drove over to St. Augustine and spent a few hours there. St. Augustine is one of my favorite places. If, and when, we ever get married, I would like to get married there. Either on the beach or maybe at the chapel on Flagler's campus. That would be so cool. It was a nice drive though. Good weather for it. No rain at all.

I got to check out the Vera Bradley store they have. I can't wait to buy something!!! I also saw another rubby duckie store they have. When Kyle and I were down there two years ago, we saw this one store that had an old fashion bath tub full of small rubber duckies!!! I LOVED IT!!!

And then a friend was telling me about this other store, and we saw it today. Maybe I'll buy a rubby duckie the next time I go.

Hopefully I'll get to go back this weekend, if I don't start at the Wine Shoppe. I was suppose to start today, but they pretty much just had me fill out paper work and W-4s. The secretary said the manager would get back with me for a starting date and schedule. She probably won't start me on Saturday, but I'm good for Monday. We'll see though. I really want to go to St. Augustine on Saturday, but if they want to start me on Saturday, then I'll do that. Starting pay is crappy, $6.70, but within three months, I'll get a review and a raise. It's not much, but combined with my paycheck at Publix, it'll be a decent amount. I can handle two paychecks.

I have a massive headache right now. As soon as we got back from St. Augustine I had to take two Excedrin migraine and lay down. My head was hurting so bad, I just started crying. I hardly ever get headaches that bad, but today I just happened to have one. I just feel horrible because I feel like it ruined mine and Kyle's trip. And I hate that because we don't really get much "us" time (where we aren't with everyone else). But I still had an awesome time despite this despicable headache.

The guys are having their meeting tonight for their camping trip. They are packing everything tonight, that way they don't have to open them until they get on the trail. I can't believe they leave in a week. This trip completely slipped on us. I'm just glad I'll be working because it will take my mind off missing Kyle.

I need to buy my books sometime. Guess I might go Friday morning before I have to go to work. That's about $200 wasted.

But it'll further my education....LOL.

As of tomorrow, I will officially be done with classes. I have an final at 8, and then I'm done! Woo hoo!! And then on the 15th, summer classes start up...so I need to figure out how I'm going to get those books.

I love Kyle. I just had to say it. He tries so hard for me, and I adore him for it. He never ceases to amaze me.

I would like to ask everyone to pray for a young girl, Danielle Guiesler, who is 17. She was in a horrible accident down my road on Friday. She was driving and a car pulled out in front of her. She swerved to miss the car, and went head on into a dump truck. Her little Ford Ranger was crushed. The engine of her truck was in her lap. She has two broken legs, a crushed hip; they took out part of her kidney or liver; opened several brain flaps to help with swelling; she has no spleen. She is currently on life support and her parents are waiting until Monday to see if she improves. If she doesn't, they are planning on pulling the plug. Please pray for her and a miracle. Please pray for her family and her boyfriend. They are definitley going through tough times right now and will go through even more with the decisions they will face tomorrow.

Howdy 'do! Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing splendid....classes are almost over!! I thought I would have to go to class on Friday (the last day), but our teacher is giving us the day off.

But we'll still have to drop by there because we have a paper that's due. Oh well....not complete freedom.

We had a test today. I hope I did okay. I didn't get as much studying in as I wanted to because I kept thinking the test wasn't until Friday....but it was today. And our final is next Wednesday. So, hopefully I'll do okay.

I did an extra credit assignment for the class, in which I had to watch that movie Super Size Me. That movie is definitley worth a look. It seriously has me to the point where I don't want to eat fast food anymore (not that I really do anyways).

I have been pretty busy, just simply studying and working. Nothing else. My hours got dropped again at work, so I'm currently looking for a new job. Hopefully I'll get something.

Kyle cut his finger at work the other night. Cut the tip of it...so his finger won't really be rounded anymore. LOL. At least it wasn't a whole fingertip or finger!!!

The weather has been extremely hot here. It's an early summer for us.

I registered for summer classes on Monday. I'm just taking two online classes. I'm taking medical terminology and human sexuality. Seems pretty cool. I'm sure it'll be interesting.

I'm dying to go to the beach. I had talked to Kyle about us going to St. Augustine on Monday, but he's meeting up with the guys to get things in line for their camping trip.

Anywho. That's about all that's going on. Toodles!
