I Hate Spring Break

I am on Spring Break this week. Tuesday all the mommy’s and daddy’s came to pick the youngsters up, my name for my dorm mates. I was more uncertain to go. The others go home to see their families, or off to the airport to somewhere warm. I have to throw all my clothes in garbage bags, put it in the car, drive a mile down the road and then yank them all out of the car. Spring Break is annoying. I hate packing, my dorms close every break and I’m not allowed in them so I stay with a friend.

Why not go home too? Because I work for an evil retail giant. I have to stay and serve the “Why the fuck don’t you have anymore jelly beans?,” last minute shoppers. Then take the blame that even though the Easter stuff has been up for weeks it is my fault you had to wait to the day before the shop for it.

I have had a lot of thinking of what to do this summer and next semester. My large tonsils and I could go home this summer. I don’t really like staying with my father but it’s pretty cheap living and I can work full time at the Amsterdam Wal-Mart and save money. Or I could stay in Oneonta and work for Wal-Mart and get an apartment. But I owe a lot of money to the hospital and the Oneonta Wal-Mart is less likely give me time off to get my tonsils out (if I can get them out this summer like I want.) I could work for Office Max, but even if I do get that job I will turn it down because I am not working for minimum wage. So I’m probably going to go home, get Medicaid, or pay $300 to my father a month for health insurance, and hopefully get my tonsils cut out.

Next semester I know I am not coming back to SUNY Oneonta (SUCO.) SUCO isn’t that bad, I do not like my major though. The Computer Arts program and I are not getting along. I feel like I know everything and no one believes me. But that’s a whole other topic. So I’m going to transfer to SUNY Delhi.

Shake

I was at Hannaford last night grocery shopping and we were all done and got in the truck and it wouldn?t start. I spent an hour at Hannaford last night and over $2 on a pay phone waiting for a tow truck and a ride home. We finally got Andy, my dad?s worker, and his father to bring us home. So this weekend we can?t go anywhere, Andy had to bring me to work.

I worked 11 hours this week! Ok that?s the most I?ve ever worked there. I got $79 for this week though. But every time I get tips there all in 1?s. I have $27 of all one?s now. I made $7.50 an hour tonight though. I have to work tomorrow again and next Saturday. I took Proms and Florida off tonight. Looks like Barry is not going to have many hostesses left on the 18th, 4 of the 5 hostesses took that night off and he usually has 3 on Saturday nights. Oh well for him.

Doug went to the florist today. He got a pink rose for him and 2 pink roses and a white carnation hand thingy for me. It?s the same for is Prom but in purple.

Oh my god, I woke up this morning at about 7 and everything was moving. My whole bed was shaking. Well it was a 5.1 earthquake. The epicenter was 15 miles southwest of Plattsburgh.

Ghost at School

I went cosmic bowling with Doug Friday night for Eric’s Birthday. Martina and Marie were also there. I got a 79, which I thought was bad till a seen Martina’s and Marie’s score in the 30’s and 40’s. Doug let me win in the second game though because he went from a 136 to a 49 but he keeps denying it saying he had a ‘weak arm.’ It wasn’t till like 1:30 till we left. Then Eric, Doug and I went driving around. We went to Hannaford and the Guilderland High School. At the school we stood there for like 10 minutes and talked about ghosts and people that died there. Then on the way out Doug and I were saying things like is that one (ghost), no its just a dog. Finally he told us to shut up or he’ll put his high beams on :). Doug kept telling Eric there were a lot of cops on the roads we were traveling on so every car we seen Eric was asking if it was a cop haha.

We went to the mall Saturday. I got this pink purse with these rhinestones on the front for Prom. I also got this white/silver shawl for my purple dress. Plus I got 2 necklaces. We ate out at Frienldly’s for our 9-month anniversary. Plus we went to go see National Lampoon’s Van Wilder. It was a good movie; the guy that played Van had cute eyes. I hate the Crossgates though because we can’t bring our shopping bags into the theater. We have to put all our stuff in our pockets or wear/carry it in.

I talked to my mom on the phone last Wednesday. She works at Friendly’s in Rotterdam Mall now, that’s where she was calling from. She said she was moving to another country to live in a small apartment or trailer. She also kept say she needed a place to put her stuff and asking if Doug could take it. Then she said she would call him in the morning and ask, she never did though. But on Thursday night she called at 11:40 saying she would call when she was coming up to drop her stuff off and that she talked it over with me! But then this weekend while I was at Doug’s my dad said she showed up here. My dad said she doesn’t have any more teeth. I haven’t seen her since Christmas.

My dad put me on the list to work at Diary Frost since I wasn’t with him when he first seen it open.

I got burnt on my shoulders and arms for today and yesterday. I don?t have to be outside for very long though. I hope a tan though. It’s going to be 86 degrees tomorrow.

I work both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. That’s a lot for me. I hope Sunday is counted as part of this week though.

I ran the mile last Friday. They gave me a 12 :).

Florida

We went up to Liberty Travel Saturday. Our plane leaves at 7:25am in Albany, then 8:33 in Philadelphia and we arrive at 12:04 in Orlando on May 6th. Then on May 13th, our plane leaves at 11:45am in Orlando, then at 3:40 in Philadelphia and we arrive in Albany at 4:50. We are taking US Airways. Then we have a 3-day Universal pass and 5 day Disney one. Plus a $10 Planet Hollywood Gift Certificate, with VIP.

I went to Super Wal-Mart Saturday too. I got make-up for Prom. I got light pink nail polish (petites in bahama splash) for my toes, light pink lipstick (wet-n-wild in 548a), and face powder (covergirl in classic ivory). I?m second to lightest color Covergirl makes. I also got these little rhinestones you put on nails at CVS.

I went with Micki and her family to Pizza Hut Saturday night. Her little cousin is so annoying, he reminds me of Chris? little brother, I hated that kid. I had extra cheese pizza, I love that stuff but every time I have it, it makes me sick. I don’t know why, it doesn’t do it with any of their other pizzas.

I stayed home today. Number one I missed my bus and I didn’t want to hear my dad yelling the whole way to school. Number two I was tired, I didn’t go to sleep till 5 Sunday morning. And number three I didn’t want to hear Dee talk about her new job, which didn?t matter really because I could have just stayed away from her the whole morning. Plus she can’t call right now because I’m on the Internet J.

I made 7:40 an hour last night. Still no calls. There are only 2 other places a want to work. One being Dairy Frost and the other the SPCA. I’m still waiting for Dairy Frost to open, last year they put an announcement on the announcements at school that they were hiring, I don’t know if they will again this year. The only problem with the SPCA is I won’t get paid. Doug got offered a job at CVS :/.

Long Distance

I worked tonight. I got $7.22 an hour, $10 in tips. I found a bounce ball :). I got a ride home from one of the girls that work there tonight. Not that’s it?s a bad job, I just don?t work that often. I work Sunday at 4 though.

Dee got the job at Cumberland Farms. She started tonight and works Saturday and Sunday. Oh no “I won’t get to see my boyfriend all weekend.” That still pisses me off though. Well I got something on her, I probably make more, and I take it she’s in the $5 range for a first job and at that place.

I got the phone bill today. Calling Doug is a local call :), that means I can call him whenever I want now. But what I think is weird is that I can call down the road 5 minutes to C&R and be charged for long distance, but then call Doug 45 minutes away and have it be a local call. But it’s a long distance call for him to call me but not C&R.

I have to get up early tomorrow and clean the house. Then we are going to the mall to Liberty Travel to pay for our Florida trip.

Eric found a date for the Prom; I guess he?s going with one of his friend’s friends that he hasn’t met before. Now our limo is full. J We are all meeting at Doug?s house between 5:30-6. I called for my hair appointment today, May 4th, 2:00 PM.

People who try get less, people who don’t get more.

Not Much Hope for Hollywood

I found out today Dee got an interview at this one place. She only filled out like 6 applications. I don’t know what I’m going wrong. She has never had a job before in her life; I have more work experience than her. The only think I can think of is because she’s 18 maybe. Maybe after I turn 18 someone will hire me.

I told Doug to send me an application from the Hannaford be works at in Guilderland. I bet him $20 I wont get a call.

Well I applied to BK, Hollywood Video, Blockbuster Video, and Dunking Doughnuts all in Amsterdam. I applied to 23 places now. I would want to work a Hollywood Video most; it’s nice in there, then Blockbuster, then Dunking Doughnuts. Last would be BK because I really don’t want to work there. But I probably wont get the Hollywood Video or Blockbuster job, if any it would be BK, maybe Dunking Doughnuts.

I was telling Dee about the big bunny I got from Doug for Easter, I love rubbing Doug in her face sometimes J, and she like ?Eric doesn’t celebrate Easter.? Haha what religion doesn’t celebrate Easter, I thought everyone does.

Exactly one more month till Prom.

No More Applications

I’m a little upset. Tomorrows Thursday I have to go looking for jobs again. I’m getting sick of applications now and I’m not getting calls back from anyplace. I don’t see the use anymore, I don’t even except a call from a place when I’m filling out their application. I wanted to apply somewhere in like Saratoga or Schenectady/Guilderland even though there like 45 minutes away. I probably wont be able to work that far away but at least it would give me hope if they call back.

I found out today one of the girls in my English group got a 95 :/. I will never be best at anything.

I Get 7.25 an hour

I worked tonight. I got $15 in tips but I still want to leave. Nineteen applications and still no calls. But I found out tonight I make $7.25 per hour with tips. That place pulls in over $400 in tips every night.

Dee came to school the other day with one of those college things from one college (you know the things you get in the mail from a certain college asking if you want information.) Well she was all excited she like “look what I got” haha. I’m like that’s great, I get them in the mail everyday. I think she was so excited she brought it to one of her teachers or the guidance councilor. I’m going to a community college anyways so I don’t have to worry about them too much. And I don’t have to write a college essay or take the SATs.

I’m going down to Doug’s tomorrow. We are going to the mall Saturday, church Sunday, and school Monday.

Doug’s mommy came home from Las Vegas tonight.

Pudding

Still no calls but I did get a letter from Hannaford in Gloversville say they had no openings. Only thing is they still have their sign out front saying they’re hiring :/. Well I got applications to Pizza Hut, BK, Crossroads Restaurant, Friendly, Eckerd, and Johnstown Movie Plex today though.

Doug is coming up Saturday morning. If ET is playing we are going to watch that then go to Micki’s party. Sunday we are going to Ellie’s house for Easter dinner.

I was talking with Evan the other day and he asks me if I want to go to the movie with him Friday. He is cool to hang out with as a friend but most chances he just wants sex so I said maybe. So I asked him if he was going to Micki’s party then he asks me if I want to be his date to it. I was like no I’m already going with someone. He asked me who and then left. So I know what he wants from me.

We had a two-hour delay Monday and we got out two hours early yesterday due to snow. We have about a foot of it now. It’s spring and we have more now then we did all winter.

I’m sleeping too much now. I sleep like 2 hours every day I come home plus at night. So now I’m really awake. Did you know u will die faster if you sleep 7-8 hours a day rather than 6.

OMG I was looking in the newspaper for jobs and I seen that C&R was hiring for hostess and waiters.

I ate almost a whole box of pudding today (the Jell-O kind where you add 2 cups of milk and mix). I didn’t have lunch or breakfast so I was just a tad hungry when I got home.

Hello Fans

Hello my fellow fans. Hmmm what happened to me lately? Yesterday I went shoe shopping and got two pairs. A pair of Skecher boots and another pair of Skecher sandals.

Then I went to work. They have they new girl but she’s like all the rest. I totally don’t fit in with these girls. There all like rich preps, you know A&F, American Eagle, tanning. I’m not that kind of person. Well this new girl keeps telling to do things like “table 103 needs to be cleaned.” I eventually do clear the table but slower than I would normal. I’m like she shouldn’t be telling me what to do, she’s new, I don’t care if she’s a hostess and I’m only a buffer. Anyways shouldn’t it be if someone new comes on they should be put at buffer and one the buffers be moved up to hostess? Only exception I can thing to that is maybe she hosted somewhere else. I can’t wait till leave that place.

Today I just sat here. I did laundry and helped my dad with his computer.

Happy St. Patericks Day.
