Graduation is slowly but surely approaching in May. I'm starting to get worried. I have always planned and planned and planned for each semester and my entire life....up until May 19, 2012. I really don't know what to do with myself! Everyone I know is getting jobs after graduation and starting their careers. I don't want to do that. I feel like I've been so responsible my whole life, I kind of want to take a break.
What I really want to do is to travel around Europe for a while. That does take money though. Working at VS is not going to help me get to Europe. That being said, I have been looking for a 2nd/new job. I'm hoping to get a job that can get me 30 hours per week and that would be willing to work with my current job.
I applied at Pier 1 and they gave me a call today. I have an interview there on Monday at 2:30! I hope I get it! I'm nervous though because 1) I haven't really interviewed for a job in 3.5 years and 2) I don't really want to leave my current job, but I'm just not making enough money there so I'm nervous to tell them that I'm job hunting and if I do get the job, I'm REALLY afraid to tell my managers about that! I suppose we. shall. see.
If I do get a second job, I will be able to save a lot more while paying a good chunk on my credit card AND still being able to live without being broke 3 days after payday. That would be wonderful! :D
I'm a little stressed about school because I procrastinated too much. My boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day on Sunday because we won't be seeing each other on the actual day. Basically my attention was all on him all weekend, so I didn't do much homework or studying.
Ok, work tomorrow at 6am. Off to bed!

Things are going great :)!
I have paid off one of my credit cards so now I can focus on paying the other one off (yipee...)
I've lost a few lbs. It's taking a lot of time, but it's happening, slowly but surely. I just started a new blog to track my weight loss so I'm hoping that it will help me stay motivated! I'm definitely having a hard time because I've changed my diet almost completely, I haven't had any soda this year at all, I've been going to the gym constantly and I'm stuck at the same weight for the last few weeks. Not sure what else I can do except keep trying and take it up a notch at the gym maybe. My weight loss blog is here.
Me and my boyfriend are doing great. I've never been with such a fantastic guy. I am a little tired of the hours of video games, but I'm learning to cope with it and just do my own thing or try to have fun with it.
Getting a little tired of work giving me shitty hours, but this week I got the full amount I can get at least. However, the last 2 weeks of low hours means my paycheck shall be super laaaame. But what can you do? (*cough* find another job *cough*)
School this semester is going to be a cinch. I only have 2 classes, back to back, every Tuesday and Thursday. School takes up a whopping 6 hours of my week. SO AMAZING. I have a feeling the end of this semester is just going to sneak up on me and that's ok with me!
Overall, things are going great! :)

been over a year...
It's been over a year since I posted anything substantial.
I'm very stressed about money right now. In fact, I don't think I've ever been this stressed about money in my entire life. I just had to empty my entire savings account to pay for a new timing belt, water pump, and alternator belt for my car. I already paid $500 for a plane ticket to go to my friend's wedding in Texas next month, and have to save up about another $500 for food, hotel, airport parking, etc. I don't know where I'm going to come up with that money. I'm starting to think about cancelling the trip completely, but that's only if I can get my money back for the plane tickets. Otherwise, I'm going because I'm definitely not wasting a $500 ticket. My ex. owes me $600 but he's slacking on getting it back to me. He said he should get it back to me before I go to Texas, but he also said over summer that he would get it to me before August. So I'll believe it when I see it. Which stinks because I REALLY need that money.
I'm down to $40 til payday which is still a week and a half away, I still need another tank of gas for next week, I need to celebrate my best friend's 21st birthday somehow (probably going to buy her 1 drink and just end up being sober the rest of the night because I can't even afford a drink for myself). Plus I have to make a credit card payment somewhere in there AND I'm adding about $200 to what's already on the credit card for the timing belt.
I'm so stressed I don't even know what to do with myself. There just isn't enough money and I've been getting a low amount of hours at work the past couple weeks. Luckily, I got a temporary lead position for Holiday, but it doesn't start until the first week of November. Last time I did the position I ended up getting 40 hrs/week + a $1 pay raise. Since then the company has changed their policy so "part time" associates can only get a max of 20 hours a week. This means I won't be getting 40 hours a week over holiday, but hopefully I'll still get the dollar raise for the season.
Hopefully things will look up money-wise soon.
In other news, I've gained about 25-30 lbs in the last 6 months. I don't know why. I think once Rein and I started dating, my diet took a nose dive, also I changed birth control. I've been trying to run 2 miles a day 5 times a week but it isn't doing anything. I'm going to keep trying though, I guess. I'm also supposed to start going to this 30 minute ab workout class 2 times a week with 2 of my friends but they both bailed on me both times last week so we haven't done it at all yet. I'm too nervous to go by myself the first time. I need to though. Have to take initiative.
I want to get down to 160 and I'm at 200 right now. (UGH I've never been 200 in my entire life...) This is going to take months. :(
I suppose things can only go up from here?

Do you expect me?
To keep from crawling back.
Do you accept me?
When we both know my past.
Am I keeping safe distance?
Pushing you arms length away?
Am I keeping safe distance?
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed.
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
I know you're out there somewhere.
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer to me.

Come and go now as you please
Your actions write the melodies
To those songs that we sing
And you just sing
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
Is this the way you want it?
Is this the way it has to be?
Sitting here beside you
When my heart's lost in New Orleans
Dreams come clever
Hearts now severed
Difference of forever
And I am lost there
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that all
Your actions write the melodies

And you just sing along out loud, yea

"Love is a question mark. not an exclamation point..."
"Love is a question mark, not an exclamation point. It can explain everything without calling on arguments whose strength as well as whose weakness is based on logic. A boy who is in love knows more about the universe and about creation than a scholar. Why do we have to die? Because I love you, my love. And why do parallel lines meet at infinity? What a question! It’s only because I love you, my love.
And it works. For them, for the boy and for the girl, prisoners of a magic circle, the answer seems completely valid. In their eyes there is a direct relationship between their adventure and the mysteries of the universe."
Elie Wiesel - "Day"

Rush- the Pass
"Proud swagger out of the school yard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause
Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me
It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode
Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothing's what you thought it would be
No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done? "

Break Down
So I totally had a minor (slightly major) breakdown a few nights ago. I think that was my "rock bottom" because I feel so much better since then. I'm much more accepting of everything and small issues (that aren't even issues) aren't becoming huge deals anymore. I don't cry everyday at school anymore. I figured out if I take 3 winter classes and 3 summer classes I could finish this coming summer. I don't know about 3 winter classes, though. I have an advising appointment tomorrow in the morning so I'm going to see how ridiculous that seems to them and go from there. I would much rather suffer for a short period and finish early. I'd be 21 when I graduate!
I've been running every day in between classes and it is wearing me out. It makes me feel SO much better mentally because it gives me time to think and figure out stuff in my head but it makes me so tired and my muscles are killing me! Hopefully that goes away the more I do it. I've been running in the park so I guess I'll just have to go to the WREC center instead when it starts raining. I'm hoping to lose 10 lbs (at least) by Halloween! We'll see :D
Relationship is good...I think me not being a crazy bitch is helping us out a lot. :-P He's also trying really hard to and I see it, so that helps. I'm not upset about him having a 2nd job anymore. It's only 2 nights a week anyhow. Still don't like crazy drunk sluts at his 2nd job though... oh well. He's mine, not theirs. :)
Work has been the only thing that has been consistently good for the past few months. It's nice.
New Anberlin album came out yesterday and I absolutely adore it! To me, the theme of it kind of says, "here i am, take me or leave me." I like it.
New Trapt album on Oct. 12!! They've been releasing a couple songs here and there and I love them all! I cannot WAIT! I especially can't wait til they start touring. :D :D:D:D:D I'm going to drag Mac along with me...he said he's never been to a real concert before! I shall change that. :)

"hold the cap or it will get all over the ceiling!"
So Mac thought that he was supposed to work tonight from 6-12 so I didn't think I was really going to get to see him until later in the week but then he called me on my way home from my Grandma's and apparently he was just going today for another interview. So we hung out and we went to 5 & I for some food after we took him shoe shopping (:D). I ordered french fries so when we sat down I grabbed the bottle of ketchup and shook it and the cap flew off and splattered all over my hand and the table! I immediately remembered my dad always yelling at me to make sure and hold the cap to the ketchup or it would get everywhere. I told Mac that my dad was saying hello. :)
Today was really sucky in the beginning. I totally had a break down in the library while attempting to do my homework. I was texting Ben with all my problems and he made me feel a little better because he understands EVERYTHING. I eventually made it through my second class and went to my grandma's and my sister ended up being there too. We all had dinner and I got to vent everything out on my grandma. She always has a way to make things a positive so that really helped me, on top of being able to vent some more. Then I get a call from Mac and that just made my whole day because I just really needed a hug and Mac is such a good hugger. Plus he's just so happy all the time and I really just needed something like that today. Everyone, especially Mac, helped turn my day from an "i hate the world" day to an "i love everything" day. I wish I had a better way to say thank you to everyone other than just "thank you."
Hopefully tomorrow is better.
20 days 'til I'm 21. 501 days until I graduate. 197 days until winter break. I guess I could look at this as something to look forward too.
Hi back, Dad. Love you and miss you!

i hate school with a fiery passion.
i really do. i HATE it. i literally could not care less about my grades right now and i could not care less about the stupid paper that's due in 2 hours that i'm sooo not doing because it's retarded. i dont care that i totally bombed my quiz today. i dont care that i'm already like an accumulated 10 chapters behind in reading for my 4 classes. i could care less about learning about ethics, marketing models, wal mart and google. i REALLY DO NOT CARE.
i dont. godddddddddddddddddddd. i can't do it anymore. the only reason i'm going to bear through these next couple semesters is because i'm getting hella financial aid money.
seriously school is such a waste of my time. it takes up my whole day doing NOTHING. nothingthingnothingasalsja;klsdjfajfal;ksjla;ksj!!!!!!!! i have literally learned the same shit in all my business classes. why can't we just consolidate all this shit into one class?!?!?!
and i canNOT handle 4 group projects/presentations this semester. do they really think that at this point i, as a college student, have not learned how to work in a DAMN GROUP!?
i'm so frustrated. i literally am on the verge of tears before class almost every morning because i just can't stand the thought of going and wasting my time listening to some old fart tell me about his business experiences as an HR manager or a marketing manager or this or a that. i. do. not. care.
and on top of all that i do not want to turn 21. i don't want to go pay hella money to go get wasted with people i am not necesarily "friends" with because not really any of my friends who can go out on my birthday (a freaking tuesday) are 21. i have a test the day after my birthday. mac just got a job at the bear and he works tuesdays so he can't even go out with me on my birthday. in fact, i dont even get to see him on my birthday since this is now his second job. i should be happy for him. and i am. but at the same time the selfish part of me is so upset because i just wanna spend time with him and i already hardly get to see him, especially because of school and then going to work right after school. he's only supposed to be working 3 days a week and he said he's still going to have sundays off and i'm supposed to be getting sundays off "as much as possible" this semester....but then i dont want to take up every single one of his sundays and i can't only see him once a week?!!?!?!!! goddd. this si so lame. sschool is seriously ruining my life i hate it and i just want to quit.
i could throw something right now.

Life is soooo good!
I have the best friends ever, ever, ever!
Lauren just got back from ROTC training stuff in Kentucky I think last week or a couple weeks ago and she is staying at home in Napa and she drove up to see me today. :) Also Liz and her boyfriend are in town this week from Texas & Air Force and they visited today. PLUS we were all hanging out and then Mark came to hang out! Then I get to go on a walk with TIffany and Kimm later at One Mile. I seriously just love all my friends and I wish I hadn't closed all of them out so much when I was with Eric.
Plus Mac is just superrr awesome. :) I have so much fun with him and he just makes me feel so energetic and excited and I'm having fun all the time with him. I feel like he's really good for me right now!
I got 20 hours this next week at work again (up for 16 hrs the past few weeks) which is amaaazzing finally. This pay check sucked because I took that week off for dad and then I only got 3 shifts on the following week so I think my check was less than $130 so I am a little broke for the next couple weeks, but I could really care less right now! :D
ANDDD! I found all but two of my textbooks online on Amazon and it's going to save me around $400. I got 2 in the mail today and one had a 20 dollar bill in with a note that said, "Dear Rhiannon, I have enclosed 20.00 cash for the fact that the text was paper back. If you would like to return this copy of the text please e-mail me at blahablahlaahaha@blah.com (edited :D) or if you have any questions." SO nice! So I totally just made 20 bucks back, which is probably more than I would have made if I sell the damn thing back to the book store.
I did sell my accounting book from summer back last week and the college said that they weren't taking this edition back but the used book company would so they gave me 15 for it.... I paid 106 for it. umm...LAME. Better than nothing, though, I suppose.
School starts in 3 weeks and that's about the suckiest thing in my life right now!
Everything's so great! Except I still am reallyyy missing dad. I think it's because I want him to be here for all the happy stuff now. But....it is what it is and I know he loved me and he knew I loved him and that's all that matters. :) :)
Lauren just got back from ROTC training stuff in Kentucky I think last week or a couple weeks ago and she is staying at home in Napa and she drove up to see me today. :) Also Liz and her boyfriend are in town this week from Texas & Air Force and they visited today. PLUS we were all hanging out and then Mark came to hang out! Then I get to go on a walk with TIffany and Kimm later at One Mile. I seriously just love all my friends and I wish I hadn't closed all of them out so much when I was with Eric.

Moving On
Things are getting easier already...although they weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be to begin with. I don't think it has hit me all the way yet. Regardless, I'm doing fine. I'm back at work now and it's going normal, home is normal (as normal as it can be, I suppose), life's kind of just falling back into place, as it's supposed to.
I do miss Dad and I think about him 300 zillion times a day and everything reminds me of him but they are happy thoughts, which I'm so thankful for. This could have gone the other way and I could have got depressed and broke down every time I thought about him but instead I giggle or smile. It's nice.
I did my accounting final today. I think I did well on it..at least Ok. I bet I got a low B...I think. I really have no idea. The multiple choice questions were so iffy for me. Plus, my balance sheet on the work problems was over a grand off and I couldn't figure out what I did wrong, so I just went with it. Either way though, he told me even if I didn't take the final I still had a C in the class....which is fantastic for me! This means I'll never have to take accounting class ever again in my life. :) Now I just have to figure out how to show Chico State that I took it, passed it and then get the credits to transfer. I think also that I'm only going to take 4 classes this semester instead of dropping the accounting class I'm in for fall (to prove that I was going to be taking it, it's an undergrad req)and picking a new one. I'm already in class from 11-4 and if I want to have time for homework AND work...I probably shouldn't overload myself too much basically.
I saw Inception....twice. It's such a good movie! I loved it. One of the best I've seen in a really, really, really long time. It was a total mind twister and it was hard to keep up with, for me, in the beginning and the whole thing was a task to keep up with...which is why I saw it twice. :)
In other news, I'm drinking soda right now. *slap on wrist*
2 months exactly til I turn 21.
1 month til school starts again *puke*
