loves and loathes.

loves:

~ a girl at work made $250 on a 10 hour shift. she sighed and explained she was hoping for $300. pretty much triple what i'd make at my old job. i'll take it.

~ sleep. for some reason i need it/want it more than usual lately. most likely because my body knows i have things to do and consequently shuts down under the pressure.

~ the stars at night in whitewater. random, i know, but considering how lame the city is, i find comfort in the fact that i can find one thing i really enjoy about it.

~ helping someone get a job. i've never actually had a job interview myself, so being a personal reference for someone else gave me some confidence for when i actually need to deal with it personally. side note: job interviews seem ridiculous. everyone says what they feel the employer wants to hear, or phrases talents and skills in a flattering light. consequently, how does any employer learn anything sincere from anyone? this confuses me.

~ laughing through the mall. mi novio hates the mall slash shopping of any sort more than anyone hates anything in the world i've decided. however, this makes leaving enjoyable and makes me laugh. i still wish i had a more solid shopping partner in life, however... :)

~ my dog. he's 12ish and pretty much a pain in the ass but i love him:)

~ the rose quartz earrings my dad brought me back from croatia.

loathes:

~ no one at work understanding me and vice versa. i miss seeing familiar faces and knowing i can be a nerd, dancing around and making jokes amongst them all. i'm nervous i'll never really fit in with the seven people i work with.

~ finals week. my research paper. i HATE research papers. and i'm going to be an english teacher. hopefully i can avoid it in my classrooms... or turn them into 5 page papers. that would be nice.

~ the fact that because i got a c on the very first test in my layout class determined my final grade in the class. i got a's on the next three assignments and calculated that even if i ACED the final, i would still get an 88 in the class. email to professor: "i would hate to think that just because i got a c on the very first thing we did in class it completely ruined my chances of getting an a. do you just add up the points or do you take things like improvement into account?" professor: "i add up the points." screw you, lady. now, i can get an a, b, or c on your final and still get a b in the class? thanks for the motivation. AWESOME.

~ being one of the last of my friends to get out of school. i hate having so much to do while everyone is either home for the summer or GRADUATED. crazy.

~ not riding donkeys down the grand canyon when i go to las vegas to visit family in june. it's seriously one of my goals in life. who wants to just look at the grand canyon? i want to ride down it on a donkey:)

~ having to continue to do work as soon as i X out of this website. fdjkslag;jk
