So I decided to have a Disney movie marathon today. I watched Aladdin, Hercules, and the Little Mermaid. 3 of my favorites
I hadn’t watched Hercules in a long time, and even though I’d only seen it one or two times it was still one of my favorites. Thats when I realized that I should’ve known that I would want to get a degree in Classics since the first time I saw it. Of course, I didn’t actually know that a major like that existed nor would I have known what it was called. Whenever I tell people what my major is, about 90% of the time they say “And what is that?” But if I had known I could’ve avoided the bad grades I got in my Pre-Calc class and my so-so grades in Chemistry. I saw the other day that if you only count classes that are in my major I have a 4.0 and when you count the classes that are only in my minor I have a 4.0 lol. Its my other classes that have brought my gpa down to a 3.7.
I was really worried about my grades towards the end of this semester because of the stuff going on in my personal life. The last week of actual classes, right before finals started I got in a fight with my boyfriend. And it was a stupid fight. I was having a bad day and I felt like he was being insensitive. All because of that we are now “on a break.” Without all the humorous implications that come from that phrase’s use in Friends, its sooo stupid. We are supposed to be thinking about the future, but my thought is that breaks just make it easier to forget each other and it just ends up being a buffer between being together and not being together. I definitely think that that’s true. We haven’t talked much since about 4 days after it happened. I think we’ve talked once. It’s really tough and it makes me feel really lonely because he’s my BEST friend – the one I could talk to about anything. But I’m pretty sure that he’s going to want to break up when we get back to school. At first I was really heart broken and just wanted to cry all the time. Now I’m much less emotionally charged and I can write this and just barely get some tears in my eyes. If I wanted to I could cry about it, but I don’t want to. I’m sick of crying and being sad. I want to know if I need to move on or if I need to forgive him for this break and move on in our relationship. I don’t like being in this limbo.
I talked to my aunt about it and she actually really helped which was very surprising to me. But I feel like she actually kind of understands the tough spot we’re in and I don’t think very many other people do. I haven’t told my parents, because 1) I know what they’ll say and 2) what if we get back together? then it would be a waste of that conversation. I’m not close enough with my parents to tell them every little change. When Frank and I started dating I didn’t tell them until like 3 months in because I didn’t want to bother if we were not going to stay together. Bleh. It’s just a tough position to be in, but I think it’s getting a little bit easier. I’m just worried about what it is going to be like when we get back to school. When I’m home I’m used to not talking to him as much and used to not seeing him, but once I get back to Tucson, it will be SOO different. I’m scared.
Anyway, I don’t really want to think about this that much anymore. I’ve been working a lot. I’ve had 2 days off in the last week and a half. I’m not used to that anymore lol. Since working at the library I’m used to having almost every other day off and only working 4 hour shifts. But it’s been kind of a fun job and everyone likes working with me which is always nice. Jamie was telling me that everyone was excited to meet me and I was like, “oh great, they’re gonna meet me and be like, ‘eh, she’s okay.’” lol. So I lived up to my hype I guess
Well, I’m going to stop blogging so I can finish watching the Suns game. It’s getting a little more exciting and we’re in the 3rd, so I’m gonna pay attention now.

I don’t like this week. I have too much to do, and I didn’t get anything done over the weekend because we had a big religious convention all weekend and my parents were here for it, so even after the religious stuff was done, I was hanging with my parents. Because of this, I barely studied for my quiz that was on Monday, but hopefully I did okay on it; I think I did. I have a four page paper due Thursday, and I’m still iffy on my topic… and my midterm is on Friday.
Frank was telling me I should’ve just taken both my summer classes during the first summer session, but with just this one class’ assignments piling up on me, I wouldn’t want a second class to worry about too. If I had taken a second class, this weekend probably would’ve killed my grades.
I watched 27 Dresses this weekend and I LOVED it! Especially the ode’s to Elton John haha. It was an awesome movie, so I decided I need to catch up on the recent romantic comedies. Frank doesn’t like them, plus we’re both skint, so I haven’t seen many movies recently. I’ve like Katherine Heigl ever since I saw her in Wish Upon a Star, the old Disney movie, but my respect for James Marsden went up.
Since the end of this fiscal year is ending at the library (and everywhere else) this weekend, my boss told me I could come in and work a couple long days, so I’m going in on Saturday, and hopefully Sunday too, to work 6 hour days to make a little extra, but I’m not sure how many hours I’m going to get once I get my work-study paperwork in. Hopefully at least 14, because that’s not even enough for all my bills…. Bleh. I hate paying for everything with my credit card. It feels so immature, but the truth is I just don’t have the money and no one down here is hiring.
Speaking of that, Frank had a job interview scheduled for yesterday and they called him a half hour beforehand to say, nevermind because they filled the position. That’s super-lame if you ask me, but Frank says he bets the person they hired knew someone else who worked there. Most likely. Probably nepotism at it’s finest.
So I plugged the page I did because of the recent blog on Shaq’s rap about Kobe. As much as I hate Kobe and love the Suns, the rap’s kinda dumb. I didn’t listen to it that closely, but just the “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” is a tad ridiculous. I’m just gonna link it, cause I don’t particularly want it on my page haha.
Okay, Frank is nagging me about starting my paper, and I guess he’s right. I don’t want to be stuck with all four pages left to write by tomorrow night. OH, but I’m excited because of the Before You Know It software I plugged in an earlier post, I know 14 animals in Greek and I can write them and everything haha. silly me.
4 more days till my new phone – I CANNOT WAIT!
