Friendly's will be the death of me

So apparently in Friendly's lingo, when you ask to have your hours cut back from 20-25, that really means give me 35-40... Awesome. Its vacation for the children of Syracuse so my manager said she would schedule me for the normal amount of hours this week and then cut back next week. That would have been fine it were what happened. I'm not sure what there going to do about all those hours when I quit...

I went to Alysa's house this past weekend (to celebrate her birthday that was a week ago and coincidentally the weekend encompassed february 14th, a pseudo-holiday which I refuse to acknowledge.) Anywayyyyy whilst I was there, I got a bit bored and went to visit Alysa's hairdresser, Bonnie. The woman is fabulous and THIS is what I look like now...



Its taking a little getting used to but I think I like it. I always wondered if I was one of those people who could pull off a super short haircut so I just went ahead and tried it! I like being brave :)

Living alone in the place is definitely making me a lot more independent and brave and things of that nature. Now I feel like I have a haircut to go along with all that. Its funny how I'm 21 years old and still trying to find an identity.... I guess its more exciting this way though. Being able to change and redefine my life will hopefully make it more exciting.

This week has been bad news city for too many of my friends. I do not approve and I wish it to stop this instant. So there. But just in case anyone's forgotten, I love you dearly... and hopefully you still love me with short hair!!

Now is the time for reading and note taking. I'm going to free meditation on campus at 5:30. Hopefully I will find my chi and zen out... or something like that.

Maybe spring should come....

I haven't written in a while because my life has been a little bleak. I've only been surviving from one visit to the next of people I love. Last weekend was Oneonta, this past weekend was Alysa, next weekend is home and mommy. The in between times are spent at class, at Friendly's which I hate more than anything, and alone in my apartment. I've been staying pretty posi about it though. I'm pretty good about getting my homework done and keeping my room clean with so little to do.

Friendly's is my bigggg problem right now. I have completely random hours and NEVER get out on time and I just can't get into a routine with that kind of job, so I'm searching elsewhere. I applied to a bank and they want to set up an interview, I'm just waiting to hear when. Its not an ideal job, but its low-stress and regular hours which is pretty much all I ask right now. I also put in an app at a SUPER SWEET little vegan/vegetarian coffeshop/restaurant/bar place. Either job would make m infinitely more happy than Friendly's and I would finally be able to do other things here in Syracuse because I wouldn't constantly be tip-toeing around my work schedule.

In one of my classes last week, we had to do a presentation about our family culture. It was very arts-and-craftsy and I HATED it. I mean, I love my family but lets be honest, we have NOTHING in common. So my presentation was pretty much about how much I differ from them and came off as me basically implying that I am like estranged from my family. Not true. Whatever, at least its over with and my first grad school presentation is behind me wahhoooo!!!

I'm still waiting on my loan and refund check to process through the school (story of my life!!) Once that happens, I'll be more secure with money and might be able to go do a thing or two in the city. I really want to sign up for a yoga class. I loved doing yoga at oneonta and itll be a super cool way to meet people. Its much more difficult to meet awesome, chill, fun people around here than it was in oneonta. There you pretty much look around, find anyone who doesn't have letters written across their chest, and they're your instant friend. SU is the land of rich cool kids... not my style. I'm to far from campus to be able to walk out my door and be involved in something, but too close to meet anyone but college kids within a 2 mile radius. What a pickle I am in!!

I think I shall just continue hibernating until spring. By then I'll have a better job, a better outlook, and a better internal body temperature.... sounds goooooodddd to me!!! :-D
