...so only read if you're bored, and have the time :)
Spring break was pretty good. I really enjoyed being home and not having a set schedule, although I was still forced to do lots of homework (see last post). I got my research paper fixed up and printed, and did my interview with my boss. I'm going to have the 1st graders for the summer camp this year, and one is her daughter. I'm excited. 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. So I can save up moolah for Costa Rica (which seems more likely to happen every day), and for next school year. I still want to get a job when the fall semester starts. The mother whose kids I babysat last summer and the summer before tried calling me on Friday and left me a message asking me if I'd like to babysit again this summer. I won't go into the reasons, but I have been dead set on not doing that again since the end of last summer. Yes, they paid me very well, and I enjoyed parts of it, but I can't put myself through that kind of stress again. You may think, how stressful can babysitting be? Severe behavioral issues. I'll leave it at that. It just isn't worth the stress for me. SO I am gong to be working for the YMCA again, and very excited to start. I called her back (and this family never answers home phone or calls back, so whatever) and left a message saying I have a job already but I appreciate the offer. Simple, enough right? I think it made the point and I fought the urge to list the reasons.
I love being with my family a whole lot. My brother is incredibly fun to goof off with, and I'm so proud of all he's doing. One day my sister and dad and I went to Espanola to run some errands and we were crazy and were getting cracked up a lot. Tuesday I went to lunch with my friends Danielle and Alayna, and Wednesday I went to Santa Fe with my mom, and like I've said before, we're so much alike that we feed off each other's humor, energy, and personality all the time. It was fun. Thursday I went to get my bridesmaid dress fitted, and Friday I went to Albuquerque with my mom and dad. We went to Red Lobster and saw Mamma Mia (the actual show, not the movie) at Popejoy Hall. It was great! Awesome choreography, talented singers and dancers, and best of all, HILARIOUS. It was so much fun just spending time with my parents. Afterward we were hungry so drove around looking for Dunkin Donuts because I was craving it, and when I finally saw one, I yelled DUNKIN DONUTS! really loudly and almost made my dad crash. Hehe. We also stopped at Taco Cabana.
I was not very happy to come back today. No matter how many times I've done it, I still get choked up and teary when I say bye to my family. I should be used to it by now, but I hate leaving them so much. I had to leave my family and real home to come back to a roommate with control issues and severe OCD tendencies and the grove apartments...not home. But on the bright side, I'm pretty sure that this last six weeks of school will go by really fast. I already get to register for classes next week! Yes I am going to be busy, but then I get to say "ta-ta lousy apartment complex and stressful roommates!", and head home for a good summer of family, work, kids, wedding, camping, fishing, hiking, and a tropical Central America trip (hopefully). Then I will have my own place come the fall (I'm praying I get one of those apartments) where I will have THE say in everything that goes on in there, I won't have to step on anyone's toes, I can set out my mismatched salt and pepper shakers if I want! (Yeah, my roommate used to put them away in the cabinet...I think she finally got the hint because I would immediately put them back out as soon as I saw them in hiding. We're in college...not everything has to be matched, designer, and perfect!)
I'll probably write more tomorrow...I haven't written all week and I need to make up for it! Haha. But I'm getting drowsy from the drive today. Good night!
