since its been three weeks since my last entry, I thought I should update. French 2 is all done...I am happy and sad at the same time. I am so glad I don't have to get up early and drive to Mansfield everyday...but I am really going to miss my girls and the teacher. When you only have a class of 6, you get pretty tight with everyone. I think there are 3 of us that are taking French 3 in the fall, and its with the same teacher...so I am looking forward to that. Yesterday, my teacher wanted to talk to me after class. She asked me what I planned on doing with languages. Currently I am just an English Ed major, but as stated before I am considering picking up French. Well she told me that I am truly gifted when it comes to languages and that I should definitely pursue them. i was floored! Like her words were that some people are good at languages and some people have a gift and she hopes that I would use that gift. She said I should seriously consider going abroad and learning more than one language. I am going to go through French 3 and 4 next year before deciding anything for sure, but I am considering double majoring in English and French education. I also wouldn't mind learning Italian. It was so awesome to hear her say that...to hear a woman that can speak 5 different languages say you have a gift for languages...its just awesome.

in other news, work is seriously frustrating me...the boss hired a new person and suddenly she has more hours than the rest of us. She already has a full time job somewhere else and now she is getting all of our hours...we are all frustrated.
I worked two hours last night, and I am not scheduled agian until next Tuesday...we talked to Nate (husband of the boss). I mean they are both technically our bosses, but he is not in charge of scheduling and stuff like that. I also got in a fight with my mom about work...again. She said for the second time, WE really need to find you another job. I was like not WE, ME...and she got bent out of shape for me talking back to her. My parents just don't understand that I am my own person and I make my own decisions...I don't have to have their approval anymore. They try to tell me what I can and can't do with my money...Hello its me that is working for it and it has My name on the paycheck...so I have the right to do what I want with it. I am already talking to a girl from my French class and if I can afford it...I am moving in an appartment with her in December. I just have to take that step sometime...so I am going to do it. Another thing that upset me was I told my mom what my French teacher said...and she didn't say anything...she just changed the subject. it hurt because I thought that was something awesome and it wasn't even a blip on her radar. They just want me to go to Mansfield and then work in Troy. I don't even know how they will react if I figure out how i can go abroad...but they didn't like me going to college an hour away last year...so I can imagine what they would say about going to a different country.

I think thats enough venting for the time being...i will update when there is more to come

So as soon as I say I want to start writing on a regular basis, I don't write for weeks. I have no clue how I used to write in this thing like everyday...because I just don't have the ambition to do that now.

So since the last entry, I have started and almost completed my first summer class. Its Intro to French 1 and it was 3 weeks of monday-thursday for 3 1/2 hours a day. It really isn't as bad as it sounds. Most of the time I am like, wow its time to go already? I really like French, I have met some cool people and the teacher is awesome. My final is tomorrow and then its on to Intro to French 2 for 3 weeks. Then I will have half of my language requirement taken care of. Its really weird to me that at Lock Haven I didn't have to take any foreign languages and at Mansfield I have to take 4 levels of a language. Its ok though, because I really like it. I am thinking about declaring a French minor just because I am already required to take 12 credits. I haven't really decided yet though and I probably won't for some time.

Work has been ok, it has its good and bad times. Kelly and I don't get to work together very often, which sucks. I have opened my own checking account tho and my parents can't touch it. Words can't describe how that makes me feel. Its just the first step to getting out from under my parents. There is this girl in my French class that is looking for a new roommate for the spring semester. If her and I continue to stay close and i can afford it, I am soo moving in with her.

Ryan is, well, wonderful. Prom was amazing. We hang out when ever possible and talk on the phone every night...but we aren't dating. I know, we might as well be, but we aren't and I think its going to stay that way. It really doesn't matter to me, he makes me happy and we have such a good time together so I really could care less about a label. Seth has calmed down...he was a complete jerk about Prom even while we were there, but now him and Ryan are talking again and I guess he has no problem with Ryan and I hanging out. So I guess its ok for your friend to hang out with your ex, but not ok to take her to prom...I don't know. I do know that I am over Seth...well like 95%. Sometimes a memory flashes thru my head and I am like "wow i miss him," but then it passes. However, I am tons and tons better than I was a month ago...so that makes me happy.

I think thats really all for now, I will attempt to write about more things tomorrow, but no promises.

so this entry will probably have nothing to do with Ryan's birthday, but today is the day and I couldn't think of any other title...so happy birthday Ryan!

So this is my last week of classes. i am so pumped about that. Next week I only have to be here on Weds, and Thurs day so this also my last full week of Lock Hell!!
I have read my past entries and I was so ready and like excited to be going here. How things change. I am definitely not going to miss this place, or many of the people either.

So in other news, I have started working at our ice cream shop in Troy. Its interesting. My cheerleading coach from high school bought it and offered both Kelly and me jobs. Kelly and I are hoping to get to work together a lot. We both went in different times this past Saturday to start training, but this Saturday we go in at the same time. I never expected it to be difficult. Its just a lot to remember. You never make anything the same way and its just takes some getting used to.

Last week was so full of petty drama, it drove me nuts. I really don't feel like writing all the details, but it involved me going to prom, and Seth having a problem with it. I don't know if everything has been solved yet. Ryan said he wanted to talk to Seth about it. Ryan has yet to say anything to me about it, and I really don't feel like bringing it up.

So thats pretty much all that has been going on with me. Sadly I must get going to my World History class, but I am going to keep trying to write on a regular basis.

So This past weekend was super busy, but a lot of fun!

Friday I picked up Janice from school (thats her nickname). We went to Vinnie's and then to the baseball game. Her and I have actually gotten closer since I went to school, which is awesome. She will forever be my little sister, and I have cheerleading to thank for that. I seriously love her, she hasn't made the best choices in life, but she is trying and thats all that matters.

While at the baseball game, my radiator blew in my car. My wonderful car that I just got in December and the warranty ran out at the end of March. Yes, I am slightly perturbed about that. I guess its going to cost around 200 plus labor and towing charges. I can't believe my luck sometimes.

Something else at the baseball game slightly distressed me. I was getting ready to pull out of the parking lot(in my mom's car) and my ex bf and his dad drive by. They both just kind of stared me down. Then I see Bob (the dad) pat Seth on the back and then they talked about something the whole ride home. Now it could have been about baseball since we lost and Seth didn't play particularlly well...and i may be being a little self centered...but I can't help but think that it was all about me. This is frustrating because I have tried to have some sort of relationship with Seth for the past year. He seriously avoids me at all costs and pretends like I don't exist. I have yet to figure out why we broke up in the first place and I do admit that I would love to somehow find a way to get back together. He has made it clear that it won't happen. So now I have started to hang out with someone else (more on that later) and it now seems like that bothers him...which bothers me. I could be making a lot over nothing, but I tend to do this often.

Anyway, saturday I met with my old cheerleading coach, Angie, and she offered me a job at the ice cream store. This excites me, I now have a summer job. After that I met Ryan at Simply Terries and we ordered his tux for prom. Then I went back to my house where we were having a party for my cousin, Derek. He is going into the Army National Guard as a military police and he leaves today. Derek and I are 3 months apart, we grew up and graduated high school together. I am just sad he is not going to be around for 5 months, and then will possibly have to go over to the middle east somewhere.

Then, I went to the mall with Ryan...aka, new boy.
Everything is very complicated at this current moment, so nothing is going to happen between us anytime soon, but its nice to have someone to just hang out with and have a good time. There are many complications. One- he just got out of a relationship with one of my past friends. ( We were once good friends, but due to things that are both directly and indirectly related to Ryan, I wouldn't consider friends anymore) This was Ryan's first real relationship and to top it off, he also had sex with her. In addition, Ryan is like best friends with Seth, my first real boyfriend and someone who I still have a lot of feelings for. Ryan has asked me to go to his prom, which has already cause a lot of issues...so I don't know if anything will ever work out between us...who knows. I am thinking about texting Seth and seeing what his major malfunction is and getting everything cleared up before prom, since we will be around each other all night. I am also just debating letting Ryan handle it. Most likely option A will win, because I won't be able to talk to Ryan until late tonight or tomorrow.

Anyway, my weekend ended with me and the rents going to Williamsport to get my phone fixed and then bringing me back to Lock Hell. I am already chomping at the bit to go back home...Friday cannot come soon enough.

Well my roommate will be out of class soon and that means lunch time. More on everything when I get the chance.
