So... I'm home from boot camp! It's nice being home. Buttttt I miss good ol Parris Island! Training was fun. I enjoyed it. It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. Which is good I guess? I met a lot of wonderful girls who are now my sisters. I miss being with them everyday as well. I'll be going to NC where my brother was stationed in Lejeune for my Marine Combat Training as well as for my MOS (my job) school. Hopefully I'll get stationed there. We are able to make a "wish list" for where we want stationed... East Coast, West Coast, or Overseas(which is Japan or Hawai'i). I'm going to request East Coast, Overseas, and then West Coast. I want to get stationed in Lejeune if I can. Everyone says it's a shit hole, but what Marine Corps base isn't? I'm very content with my life thus far and I know I made the best decision to join the Corps. I can't wait to go to MCT and MOS and the fleet and live life as a real Marine, not just a boot lol. And maybe I'll find that one Marine who sweeps me off the deck? Hmmm... I can dream :o)

So the last time I wrote in this thing was 3 months ago lol. I leave for boot camp in 3 days. I'm starting to get nervous, I'm not going to lie. It will either be the best 13 weeks or worst 13 weeks of my life... it's all how I'm going to make it out to be and the state of mind I set for the events I encounter. I'm proud to be doing what I'm doing and I don't have any regrets about this. I Pray that God will be with me every step of the way, and I need all of you to Pray for me too! If I don't see/talk to anyone before I leave, I hope to see you in 13 weeks! I love you all and God bless!! :o)

So nobody really uses LJ anymore... but newho, if you havne't heard already, I'm home. For 3 months. Joining the Marines. Gonna try to go to boot in January, after the holidays. I'm pumped. I honestly do not regret my decision to withdraw myself from MSU. I couldn't afford it, so I wasn't going to be able to stay anyways. I feel this is God's plan for me, and I'm taking it head on. But that's the dirt and bones of why I'm home. Later loves

Story of my life... I do nothing but work. I was supposed to get outta work tonight at 8... I stayed for two hours of over time. And yes, that is time and a half. As of last Wednesday, I'm goin on a 8 day straight work week. Nice. I work 40 hours next week. I'm workin Labor Day as well, so that's even more time and a half. So, nice checks coming my way? Yep... tired and soreness coming my way? Yup. Bitchiness and anger coming my way? Of course... lookin forward to this week... not!

Hmmm... I think it's time for an update. Classes started yesterday. They are going well. I'm so happy to be back in school. I loe it. Phil came on Friday and left this afternoon. We spent a lot of time together. It was nice. I've been working a shit ton. But that's nice cuz I have some bills to pay. I only owe National City $59 after this month. I'm going to try to send in the $119 all at once if I can. If not, oh well. I owe Maurices $145 still. And of course, my credit card through my bank, WHICH I haven't used in the last month :) I'm very proud of myself for that one. Billing for classes doesn't start until October, so hopefully I can get my other bills paid off, I can work on paying that. If I don't pay it all at once, it's okay. I did it for the Spring this year so yea. It'll just carry over to the Spring semester and if I don't get it all paid off, I can't register for Summer classes, but that will make me want to pay it off. Plus my Daddy said he would help me, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm workin Labor Day at Meijer, which means time and a half. I figured it out that I'll make about $90 for the day, on top of working about 36 hours for the rest of the week. I'm pumped. That'll be a nice check, I'm hopin around $250. This week's check will be quite nice as well. I got paid at the Breslin last week, so I have to wait another two weeks before I get another check. My schedule conflicts with Meijer soooo bad. I can work day crew there on Tuesdays and Thursdays though, so it's not that bad. I just can't do weekends with the Breslin.
Oh yea, when my brother comes home I'm going to get my car. Hopefully. He faxed over the paperwork for it, but unfortunately the stamp from the notery never showed up when it went through the fax, so the bank wouldn't accept it. I'm just going to wait unitl he comes home to do it, that way it'll be quick and easy. I'll do it on a day that I don't have to work, that way I can go to the bank, get it done, go to Muskegon and get my car :) I just have to make sure I work at much as I do now, so I can pay the $210 a month car insurance. The car payment itself will only be about $100 though, so I can't complain. But I think that's pretty much all I have to update on. I'll update in another few days. Later loves!

I hadda a really good time when my bestest friend Kimberly Ann Colquitt came to visit me. We went lookin for a dress for me for her wedding. We had a blast. We noticed that they sell Grillz at our mall here in E. Lansing. I was crackin up. We went from store to store tryin to find a tie to match my dress, and it wasn't easy. I'm gettin my dress from David's Bridal, and it's only $130. Not bad, but I have to pay it all upfront, and it's kinda hard because school starts in 11 days, and I still have to get books, which are going to run me about $180, PLUS I'm planning on gettin that car, and I have to do a down payment for insurance wich is going to run me $210. I'm sad about that, but I'm goin to have a car. It was nice having two days off in a row. I loved it. I work today for only 5 hours, and then I have tomorrow off as well lol. But I work a double on Friday and Sunday, but it's okay. School starts in 11 days!!! I'm pumped. I can't believe how many times I thought I wasn't going to be able to stay due to financial issues, but everything worked out in the end... so next time it happens, like in the summer or something, I'm going to not stress about it and freak out about not goin to school lol. I've learned my lesson. Everything will work out in the end. But I'm pry gonna lay down cuz I'm lazy today and wanna rest up more before work, even though I've really done NOTHING the past two days :)

Psssst... Guess what??
I GET TO STAY AT MSU!!!!!!!!!! :)
I only owe like $2500 per semester. And my daddy said if I save up each month (It comes out to about 600 cuz they bill for two months) then he will help me out... so I'm golden baby! I think I'm finally going to make it here at school for the 4 1/2 years I need to do it! I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm gonna graduate a Spartan baby, for real! :)

I woke up really early this morning...my stomach hurt really really really bad. I felt really nauseous too. Like, the moment I woke up I just bolted for the door to go to the bathroom. I didn't throw up though. I tried to make myself, but it wasn't coming up. I went back to bed and my stomach started to hurt again, and I started salivating a lot, like I do when I'm about to throw up, but still nothing. And NO I'm not pregnant. I'm on my period. And I've been gettin cramps with this one, and I NEVER get them. Idk, but this period sucks. Has anyone ever gotten nauseous while on their period??

I love how it's so hot out... that even at night when I sleep, my pillows are drenched in sweat... and how I can just be sitting and not doing anything, and sweat just pours down my face. Real cool. I effin hate the heat.
It puts me in a bad mood. I've already been in one since Phil broke up with me on Sunday night, and the heat doesn't make things better. Nor does working both jobs on days likes yesterday and what will be today... esp. being in a trailor with a grill and fry station and only one small fan on the floor... and in a huge store where the air conditioning works everywhere else BUT the front end, and even less so at the west end... where I'm always stuck.
I love sweating like a pig and stinking to high Heaven. LOVE IT...
life sucks right now
:(

Oh yea... and just as another side note to my good day...
I can take a microbiology lab that I need for MSU (that is only offered here in the Spring) at Lansing Community College in the summer... so that means I can take my one Nursing class that I need in fall, my last IAH class, AND the classes that I want to repeat in case I didn't do so well in any of them (so far, only 1) So I'm pretty stoked. I just have to bring up my GPA and can be in the Nursing in the Spring of 08 (HOPEFULLY)... so I will still graduate in 09... just a semester late... :0)

Soooo... went to Meijer to get my schedule for next week. I have GREAT hours. I'm out everynight in time to catch the bus! :) Went to the mall, paid my cell phone bill, bough some Pumas (I know... I shouldn't have, but I had extra money from gettin paid twice today!) Went to the bank for the loan... I was APPROVED! but with a cosigner... that is where my loyal and loving brother steps in! So they just have to fax him the paperwork to sign and then he has to send it back, I sign it... BAM I have my loan. Lou is coming here Thursday night to teach me how to drive the car. I'm gonna buy her dinner most likely. I'm stoked. I'm finally getting a car. When I learn to drive it is when reality will set it though. I saw a penny heads up on the ground on my way back from the bank too... Things are looking out my way and I think God has something to do with it! :)
But I'm out. I'm kinda tired and just wanna relax for a little bit. Later loves!

Talked to Lou today... she just has to talk to her dad about the guy who can fix the dent... she showed me pics of the dent and it's not really that bad. Depending on how long it takes to fix it will determine if she is just gonna sell it right away to me or not...
Talked to my brother today. He told me he would cosign if I needed a cosigner. That makes me happy :) My brother loves me
Phil is goin to Gettysburg tomorrow for two days... the whole batallion is going. Since it's rural he may not get reception... I'm gonna go crazy if I can't talk to him for a day... it's hard as it is... it's been like 6 weeks since the last time I saw him... I'm losin it for sure
Comin home in 10 days... but only for the weekend. Should be fun
Workin at both jobs tomorrow... I'm gonna die by the end of the night :(
Goin to bed now. Later loves
