My sister graduated on the 30th from highschool. I don't think I mentioned that. That was my second time going to a public school's graduation ceremony and I gotta admit it was pretty lame and impersonal. They had the ceremony at the school, which is fine. But they had a limit of seven tickets per family. Three out of the seven people could be in the gym where everything happened and then the other people were supposed to go into the auditorium and watch it from a big screen. Except, some random guy gave us an extra ticket.. so we got to have everyone be in there except for Nick ( lil bro ) and I. It was pretty queer. I mean.. everything was nice and it was thoughtful. But.... really? That's messed up. When I went to Mike's graduation.. they at least had it at a college so everyone could be there and see the person up close and whatever. Gah. But, at least she graduated and that's what counts, really. heh. We took a buttload of pictures that I can't wait to get printed out. Most of them are on her camera and my disposable camera. =[ I took one picture with Dan on my cellphone though that I wanted to share with you all:



You could probably see how much darker my hair is too. =D I was kinda sad after seeing the picture printed out though cause you could see my gum in my teeth. haha. I'm usually always chewing gum and I guess I forget that its there sometimes. gah. And I dont realize that its noticable. In other pictures, I tried to make sure I hid it. haha. But, oh well. That's that for yah.

Yeah, it is a brand new store and that's why it doesn't make sense to me. The only thing that has changed is that we hired that new lady and that they're starting to give people "floor" shifts, which basically (to me) means they do all the bitch work. There's always a lot that needs to be done, but its hard for all of us to get those things done PLUS be there to ring people up and whatever. So, I think the floor people will be helpful, but idk. I just think it's ridiculous. I'm pretty sure another girls hours are being cut as well, so it's not just mine. But, it still shouldnt be happening that way. I did end up taking Sandee's offer though to work a Friday morning. So, that may help me. I have to work Thurs-Sat now. And then I have to work Monday... which I'm kinda upset about cause it's Mike and I's 2 year anniversary.. and I dont really think I can get anyone to cover for me. Thus, we either celebrate before or after. Then after that.. I dont work again till Saturday. =/ I usually wouldn't mind the breaks.. like I don't mind the two day break Im getting this week. But, when you've got shit to pay for.. what can you expect? I mean.. I know everyone else has things to pay for as well. But... other people are getting MORE hours than they've asked for. Arg. And Andy comes and goes as he pleases, and I think that's really messed up. I'm glad that he gets to do whatever he wants... but... I kinda cant make my own schedule and come and go as I please. Soooooooo! I didnt want to have to make a special trip to go speak to him, but I think I may just have to do that. Gah. I guess I did kinda whore myself out to my co-workers though... via... complaining. bahaha. That's how I got Sandee's Friday morning shift. =P But, she's an older lady and didn't want to work six days in a row anyways. So, I figured that's helping her out and helping me out at the same time. I'm so nice.

It does feel really weird though to actually get time at home though. Feels like its been forever since I actually sat down and ate with them. Annd its the first time in a longgg time that I've had time to watch Family Guy. Ahhh... I usually watch it like every single night as many times as its on tv. Sometimes I just forget about it and dont watch it cause Im never home to watch it. But, gahh.. its so nice to be able to watch it and just chill. I even started reading a book. Im not sure how well this is going to work out. haha. Ive been having this huge urge to just read though. So, we'll see how far I get with it.

Ahaaaa. I'm really trying not to worry about this whole job dealio with Mike, but it's slightly depressing already. =[ He has two other 'orientation days' on Thursday and Friday. Thursday he goes at 5:50am-1:45. And I guess that doesnt really matter cause I work that night anyways, so I wont see him. But, that completely screws up our Friday night cause I work from 9am-4:30 and then he has to go in from 2-9:30. Then, I work Saturday. have sunday off. work monday... and then... I dont know what his schedule will be like after that. It's kinda depressing. heh. I guess that gives me time to try to get some of my own shit together. but, idk. It's just kinda sad. But.. I suppose if all else fails... that will give me time to get my school work completed and junk. Blah. Im trying not to freak out about this whole thing. He told me he was going to apply to Menards out by his house too.. hoping that they will hire him too, and he's thinking about keeping two jobs too.

It wouldnt really be so bad, but I really just feel like we're at two different points in our lives... and I dont know why. It's like we've both got different plans, but yet.. they're the same plans at the same time. And we just dont have time for each other. So.. Im getting these random thoughts in my head like.. how we shouldnt be together cause we dont have time for each other and bla bla bla. Ugh. I wish my brain would just turn off sometimes. =[ I'm a huge worry wart and my brain is to blame. Arg. That's probably not right at all though and Im just blowing this up for nothing. Though, I hear and see that even if we were married and/or lived together things would still be just as hectic.. and gay. blahh. It's just sad though.

But... I am going to enjoy this episode of Robot Chicken now. <3333
