Sanctuary of Melyn

So last night I had the weirdest dream. So it started off with my mom piling me and my sister into her Prius. So I asked where we were going and Mom said, "Decided to go for a drive." I looked out the window and recognized the road (it was like a wet summer day or something...everything was very green and grey) I recognized the road though and got a little scared. I didn't know at the time it was a dream yet, but I knew that it was the road that led straight to a cemetery.

The road was curvy and dangerous, I remember. At a point, half the road was missing and mom had to carefully drive around it. I begged her to turn back, but she wouldn't listen. I looked out again and realized we were getting close. There was this murky green pond that the road forked at. I had no idea what was to the right hand side, but the left way took us right past the graves. Where the road split was a cardboard standee of Nathaniel Hawthorne. (seriously, I have no idea what Nathaniel Hawthorne looked like until I Wiki'd him, but I knew it was him. Also I knew that he wrote Leaves of Grass and that Walt Whitman wrote the Scarlett Letter. I argued with my sister about this in the dream)

So we pull up to the cemetery (Another Nathaniel Hawthrone to greet up, pointing the way to turn) and we begin to drive through on the roads, reading off the names on the stones and talking about their historical meanings. (I wasn't paying attention to that though...I was trying to get something in my hands to work and was very frustrated with it at the time. I think it was mostly because I have dreamed of this graveyard before and never felt comfortable there in my dreams.)

When I look up, I realize our car is now in a little drive through gift shop and we get out to look around. Seriously, this was like the worst gift shop around. One of those tourist places where you can buy bobble heads and little paperweights of the different headstones. there were these small orange headstones with dancer bodies carved into them, which looked less like headstones and more like something you would put in a hutch to be a pretty, not something anyone would put as a final marker. There wasn't even a place to carve a date. So mom explains to the pusht sales lady that we don't want plots or head stones, that we have already chosen cremation (WTF?!) but does buy a brownie from the nice bakery shop lady. I personally didn't trust any baked goods from a place with a morgue in the back room. (Again, WTF?!) But I did buy a little wool dress (it was brown and didn't look like something you wear to a funeral surprisingly) So we left.

Then I needed to pee really REALLY bad, so I ran back inside, did my business and headed back to the car, only to find Mom was PISSED OFF that I took too much time. So she yelled at me for a while about taking three minutes and how she didn't want to be there to begin with and then ran me over with her car. Then I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep because I was afraid of Zombies.

ARAAARGH! So I have been watching lots of old (and new) Disney animated movies. Oh god I am such a Disney fangirl. Really.

( my fangirly reading into the movies )

In other news. >< OH GOD SCHOOL AND WORK START AGAIN ON TUESDAY!!! *cries* Where did my summer go?!

Cause I can't really rant to anyone here, you all get the thing.

( Skip this if you really just don't care. )

I maybe got into college though. Yay?

So now I am "living" with my gramma. Yes, I live in an old ladie's basement...HOLY SHIT I AM THE NEW UNCLE MARK!!!! So this is rather new for me...living somewhere else...somewhere five minutes from home.... >>;;; Temperately...

So...yeah...

the school year is winding down a bit, which is AWESOME and a little not all at the same time. I like that I won't see some of these brats ever again and a little sad that I will miss some of the others. 20 EFFING DAYS!!!

So what else is awesome in my life...not a lot....live with Gramma, work at school. almost done...

Oh, and I also have to reinterview for the job I have had since I was 16. It SUUUUUUUCKS. Merg.... I do that next week sometimes...

This damn sickness! It has lingered for weeks now! well...like two and a half...It it just terrible! I get a little better and yay! Happy Michelle! then BAM! Friday night I got hit again. I have a sinus infection now. Uuuuuugh!! My nose is raw, my eyes feel like they are popping out of my head and this fever comes and goes every several hours! I want to chop off my nose so it will stop dripping!!! D= *cries a little* and I have to go to work tomorrow...

NUmber read...42. Life, the universe and everything.... (Goes back to reading Thud! This list needs moer Terry Pratchett and scifi in general...

So I am feeling a bit better about going on Vacation this summer. I must admit I think it is a little pricy, but worth it. Of couse, I'm the person looking to buy a house that costs less than $100,000. But I have started budgeting myself and transfering extra "fun money" into my savings to...accumulate. That is my "Not really there. Seriously" Money. So I should have the basics all paid for by June (that is, as long as I don't have unexpected bills)

So I am also looking for a summer job somewhere in the district as well...because I need work and since I am already in the school, I should bloody well work there this summer as well. >> Damn summer programs locking me out...gurr....welp, I found some I will apply for...when I get to school since the home version kicks me out... and maybe I need a password....bah! it sucks. >> I;'ll talk to Jill the tech WIZZARD about it tomorrow and get a part time summer job in the district....maybe at the high school....ooooooh....scary. o.o Me working at my old middle school AND high school...cool beans.

Just a quiz. Life is well but uninteresting as of late. I hope things find you well and interesting quiz....

Just as the title says. Life is truly dull here. I work, go to school...erm...same difference... But that is how is it every day. So if you haven't heard from me and wondered what ever happened, nothing. I'm still around, just haven't had anything interesting to say and any reason to update.

I still like my job, though I could really deal with a nice long break away. My kids are very good, mostly, even though I have to pretend I like some bullies. That is the worst, trying to teach kids that are just mean to others. I can't judge really since I don't know what is going on in their lives but that is how it is.

I am trying to finish the book "the Truth," but I haven't been driven to finish it. the book is alright but nothing fantastic. I am mostly going to finish it mostly for saying I finished it and have some closure before starting up a new book. Not sure what to start next, maybe a trashy romance cause they are so quick to get through. I am hoping to get through the books I own eventually. ;-; I have so many yet to read.

Luckily, I have read through ALL my comics. Oh lucky me, that is one bookshelf down. the other is all like, reference books and Baby Name books, things for writing. They are not books you just sit down and read so...that takes care of another bookshelf. Two down, really just two to go. ^^;;; I should just re-stack things, make it easy to see what I have read and what I haven't.

..........Wow....dull....

I went to look for a D&D thing here in town or a comic book club, and the only ones I can find are all at night and downtown, both of which scare me. Put them together and there is no way I will go. ;-; Been playing more guildwars. My character is fairly awesome, though I wish there wasn't a level cap at times, mostly cause I am get bored skill hunting.

I have completed almost all of Prophecies and half of Nightfall....So yeah....a little repetitive but I enjoy it and don't want other games right now. I haven't drawn in weeks really, mostly cause I am just not inspired, and night I just want to sit and drool on myself.

....that's about it now...

Zomg! I started work today. I am at Wayzata West Middle School. ZOMG! I WENT THERE AND I TOTALLY AM WORKING WITH MY OLD TEACHERS AND IT IS SOOOOOOOO WEIRD!!! O-O I mean, really weird. Like "Hey, I remember having you as a Teacer Mr. Bizanz!" "Erm, you can call me by my first name..."

So my schedule is totally Effed. I went in today and they knew I was coming but...they figured I would know a) which grade I was with b) what I was doing and c) Everything else I didn't know. So they stuck me with Eighth Grade. Yay? It was actually pretty cool. half the students were at a field trip today so my first day was a breeze. It was fairly awesome going into other classes and sitting and making sure, well, the students were in line and working. meah, easy? I think the worse kid there right now will swear at you. Say whaaa-? you mean I won't get bit, spit on or punched? SWEET SIGN ME UP FOR MOAR!!

Tomorrow though. Who knows! I am suppose to be working in three grades. Each grade has two different "teams" that they are split up into. I am suppose to be in all of them each day. SAY WHAT?! O.O There are eight periods a day, including lunch. I am suppose to be in at least one class on each team and each grade every day. O-o Huh? It is rather confusing since I am not given a specific room(s). Merg...

I hope I get assigned one grade casue...I actually really REALLY liked eighth grade. The fact that there were three UNMARRIED INCREDIBLY HOT teachers totally doesn't hurt. Rawr. I mean. Rawr. ^-^ I flirted with the health teacher, hee. And the Science...and the Geography... they were all about my age.

So the LA teacher I worked with today is from Buffalo Center and, of course, I was wearing my waldorf neck..thing...and she was like "whaa? I lived near that college!" So we talked about how awesome Iowa was. Fricken Sweet.

What else...Oh yeah. I may have to go on a field trip with sixth grade. A week long CAMPING field trip. >> Erm...I have my other job so...I cannot do it. I have to tell them that. >< I HATE CAMPING! FFFFFFFF!!!

Uuuugh, that was the ONLY low point of my day! How awesome is that?

Hopefully tomorrow is just as good and I get stuck in one lovely grade. I would love that. A lot.

What else...I work tomorrow night as well. Friday night family movie at my church. pretty awesome. I get paid to eat pizza and watch a Disney movie. Sweet? I think so. uh-huh.

So...I sure hope I have a lovely time working at West. I sure like my coworkers. (HAWT!!!) >> I hope to talk to Neal more. He was sweet and bouncy and I hope Single. The geo teacher was TALL. he made Nick from Waldorf look....shorter. o.o He TOWERED over me, and yeah, he was cute and yeah, I really like tall guys. The science teacher was also really sweet and nice so I hope I actually make friends and do things with then. ^^

YAY ME!!!!

So my day...erm...week has been fairly....HECTIC! Let's start two days ago. My sister got sick with, what turned out to be, a stomach thing and she needs to eat healthier, buuuuut, two days ago, she was rushed to Urgent with terrible stomach cramps. So for a few hours, Mom, Dad, myself and my aunt were all bracing for Kate to go into the hospital with an appendicitis. My brother had his appendix removed when he was in fifth grade so my parents don't mess around when my sister and I have stomach cramps that are terrible. But it was a stomach thing that meant she needs to eat better foods and not so much junk. bah.

Then Yesterday. Oooooh yesterday....I thought I was in a car crash. Thought I was? How does ANYONE think that the MAY have been in a car crash? Weeeeelllll...I did. So it started like this. Mom had a list of things for me to do. Great! Go to the store and get stuff for dinner, some squirrel food and hair dye. But first I was to go to the library and held my sister find books on Charles Manson. Okies, no big deal. went there. Couldn't find anything, went back out to my car got in and pulled out and drove away. On my way away I thought "did I hit someone?" So I pulled over to look and saw a little bit of dirt but nothing. it rubbed off like...well...dirt...so I kept going to Target. Got there and panicked "did I hit someone?" I kept getting my things and went "Did I hit someone? Did I hit someone? Did I hit someone?" I was making myself MAD!

I went home and threw up a bit. Mom came home and I didn't say a thing to her cause I was in a panic and so I went back to the library.

Then I went into the library. And to the librarian...

And told her I may have dinged someone and if anyone reported that their car was dinged in the parking lot. She said no and was actually, panicked that I was hurt or I hurt someone or REALLY SMASHED A FUCKING CAR! She told me over and over to calm down and that if I had dinged a car not to worry since, DUR no paint on mine and no paint rubbed off. So I felt terrible and went home to tell mom...

I told her...STILL PANICKING. Mom was brilliant, as always, and tried to get me to calm down. We looked at the car and saw nothing. Mom said we could go to the police and tell them, but all that will happen is me being told to go home and have a niiiiice relaxing drink or something. Well I didn't have a drink But DAMN I was so shook up. I couldn't stop shaking the rest of the night. I still felt sick and everything. It was terrible.

That is the end of my bad day.

Today I got a job at the middle school...basically being their little bitch...I don't know what else I am doing though. o-o freaking out a little because of that...

What else then....Yeah I GOT A FRICKEN JOOOOOB!!!! in a middle school. How scary is that? Hormone central anyone? ^^;;; Here's hoping I have an easy job...I sure hope so....

it sucks. if I'm not on AIM that's why. I'll fiddle with it if I go offline but the internet hates me this week aaaaand I might not be on tonight.

~Melyn

Excited about that! WHOOO!!! but on the other hand, I have no idea how it went. I'm not that...erm...sure. I don't know if I interviewed well or if I did a good job or if they want me. They didn't seem that interested. the interview lasted, literally, fifteen minutes. ;-; meeeaaah...I worry.

Oh well, I had an interview. that at least is a leg up...boost to me....

Here's hoping they at least...liked me...maybe I'll get more interviews here....
