alright, i had the weirdest dream last night.

i dreamt that i was a high-school kid, and i was sitting in court because my mom was getting sentenced to like three months in jail for punching some lady in the face. well, while i was sitting in the courtroom, a bumble-bee landed on my leg, so i killed it. next thing i know, i was sentenced to six months in jail for killing the bee. my mom and i got to share a cell, which was more like a small apartment. i asked her why she always wore her pajamas and she said the judge told her she wasn't allowed to wear regular clothes. we were allowed to leave the jail freely, but we had to go back every night to work. one night we had to put new hardwood floors down in our cell. we even had internet, slow as it was. the lady in the cell next to us had a porch so she could go outside and everything. it was the coolest thing. then, my mom was getting out of jail before me, but i didn't want to be left there all alone. she begged and pleaded with the judge that i was under eighteen and there was no way i could stay there by myself, so he let me get out when my mom got out. i never killed another living creature after that.

man, that was just seriously the weirdest dream i've ever had. and it's weird that i remember every detail of it. dreams are messed up.

It has been a long time! Man, I remember when I used to write in here almost every single day, and people commented and shit like that. It feels so strange and different to barely know this place anymore. I miss the good 'ol days.

So, what's new? Well, I have two jobs now. "I discovered you have to work twice as hard when it's honest."-Gone in 60 Seconds.

I work at the Milky Way(a local, small restaurant) and I still work at Bilo. I love my jobs, actually. I make good money at Bilo, and Milky Way is fun because the people who come in are so nice. I love it. I am only working at Milky Way because I am going to the Culinary Institute of America (http://www.ciachef.edu), which requires six months experience before entering the college. I'm so exited for that. I am hoping to become an executive chef or a hotel/restuarant manager at a beach resort in Florida. During college, I get an 18-week externship which I hope to do at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Somewhere far from here, that's for sure. Then, between my junior and senior years, I have the chance to go to California for a month to take a wines and beverages course at the Greystone Campus in the Napa Valley, which is really beautiful. I can't wait.

I also just bought a new car. Well, my dad bought it and I have to pay him back. I got a Mustang. The technical color is called "deep violet", and that's pretty much right. It is a very dark violet color which was only offered for two years, so hardly anyone will have that color. It is a standard, obviously, because I hate automatic cars, and it's a 98. I was going to get the newer style, the 99, but my dad said if so, I would be paying the insurance, which wasn't going to happen. My insurance is high enough right now on the 98. But, I love my car. This week I'm putting 16 inch GT wheels on it, and I need to add the rocker panel decals which come standard on most Mustangs, this one just didn't happen to have them.

So, that's what's up with my life recently. Maybe I'll be back here again soon.

i just don't have time for this anymore. i don't even know how i got here.. i haven't been on here in over a month. i guess i have better things to do.

i work ALL THE FRIGGING TIME, but it's alright because i love making good money, and the more i work, the less time i have to sit around and bitch about Troy and how much I hate this place. Oh I can't wait for January.

It's really hard to believe that in less than one year, I will be out of Troy High school and i'll be doing whatever I want to be doing. I may not be able to start college in January though, just because of the overlap of when the college's spring semester starts. But hey, oh well. I'm in the process of filling out FAFSA, which will basically determine if I go to Florida for college or not. Eckerd College is extremely expensive, and without some financial aid, there's no way I could afford it. I really would love to go there though.

I am pretty much the happiest I've been in a long time right now. I love the fact that Michael and I are back together, because he is the absolute sweetest guy and I just missed him a whole lot. Yesterday I left school early because I was sick, and I just went over to his house and fell asleep on his lap. I feel kind of bad because me sleeping was definitely no fun for him, but he doesn't mind.

The other night I went down to watch jujitsu, and I'm so glad I have such a tough boyfriend. On march 10, 11, and 12 I'm going with him to New Jersey for a Jujitsu tournament and i'm so excited.

i think i'm going to go take a shower and go back to bed for awhile. i hate being sick.

amanda (manda103)'s entry really made me realize something:

in high school, everything changes SO MUCH. in middle school, i was such a rebel and didn't do anything i was supposed to. now i don't see the point in doing things like that. i don't sneak out of the house anymore. i would rather sleep than sneak out at night. i work now, i have my own car, and i have new friends that i wouldn't trade for anything. i remember when i used to talk to everyone in our grade pretty much, and now i never talk to anyone. it's not that i hate them, i just don't talk to them because they don't have the same opinions and whatnot as i do. it seems that a lot of the people in our grade don't even care what happens to them in their lives, and i can't handle that.

sooo what's new? welll not much i guess. still trying to decide on Eckerd College in Florida for pre-med or the Culinary Institute of America. I'm not sure. One day I am leaning towards pre-med, then the next day I'm leaning toward culinary. I went to Strez, and he said he is going to see if I can switch aviation science to service learning. hopefully he will let me. i think it'd be stupid if he didn't because i could do service learning at the hospital to help me decide if i want to go pre-med or not.

i called mike last night. i guess he was at my grandma's house looking for me the other night, because he didn't know i moved. i haven't talked to him in like a year and i miss that so much because he is amazing. really. tomorrow i'm meeting him at his house at 7am, then we're going to Elmira to get his car fixed and go out to dinner, then who knows. i'm just excited.

and kenny? well i don't know. the first day after break it was kind of odd talking to each other because we hadn't talked over break at all, but now we go to Harold's in the morning and during directed to work on AP Chem. soo, i don't know.

i've been making AWESOME money lately. i just got a raise, and i am getting a lot of hours lately, which is nice. working doesn't bother me anymore. some days it's really frustrating, like last night because our computers weren't working right, and that pissed me off. but whatever.

this week i have three days off. aw yeah.

sunday 8-3:30


tuesday 4-9


saturday 4:30-11 (i get to do tags, yes!)

alright i need to go get around for school.

..a wonderful Christmas time." -paul mccartney

so yeah, Christmas was alright. I got to see Scott and Beth which is always good because they only come up once every two years. It was nice to see them. I got a bunch of clothes that I don't even need, but I love clothes. I also got the most awesome smelling perfume ever but I'm not telling you the name of it because I don't want some skank to read this and go buy it. It was expensive so it's not like they could afford it anyway, but oh well. I also got a featherbed which is the most comfortable thing ever. I slept so good last night. I also got a ton of DVD's to add to my collection. Hm, oh I got a fridge for my room. freaking right. aaand I can take it to college with me next January. I also got two months of tanning from my mom, and I went down and redeemed that tonight. I loooove tanning. It's so relaxing.

Lindz came home from Florida for Christmas. I talked to her a lot about the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). That's where she goes where she is majoring in Baking and Pastries. I would LOVE to major in Culinary Arts and get a Bachelor's. Then I could go anywhere in the world for eighteen week externship, then go to California for a month to get a degree in Baking and Pastries. The CIA's campus is super nice, and they are really laid back when it comes to living on campus. It's the best culinary school in the world. I could start like five days after I graduate next January. That would be freaking AWESOME. I can't wait to get out of high school.

today Amy called this guy that I've been having a thing with lately. I guess he told her that I'm a super nice girl and he loves to hang out with me and he said everyone's been going up to him and asking him about us. HA. that's funny. I should probably call him myself to see if he wants to hang out over Christmas break, but I would feel like a complete ass if I called him. I don't know.

I need to get my anatomy and physiology homework done. I should also do some AP Chem but I just don't feel like doing anything. ehhh.

i have the crappiest hours this week.

wednesday 4:30-10:30
thursday 4:30-10:30
friday 2-8
saturday 3-9

lucky for me if I go to the CIA I need six months of foodservice experience before entering so i can QUIT BILO. wooo. I guess the Elmira Country Club really needs someone right now and that would be an awesome place to work. I don't care if I have to drive to Elmira to work because I wouldn't get union dues taken out of my checks and I would make more money than I do now. I really should call up there and find out.

alright.. later.

i love Christmas. Not for the presents, but just because it's neat. My mom's not buying me presents anyway, she's just giving me money so I can buy more clothes that I totally don't even need. haha

the other night (last night?) devin holdren came down and we went sledding on my hill. it was pretty fun considering that i haven't been sledding in a while. he ran over a tree stump thing and got a stick up his butt. ha. then i was moving my car into the garage and i got stuck and he started laughing. just because he has a big huge truck.

i have alot of hours next week. not really looking forward to it, but i'll have a good paycheck. i work:

Sunday 4:30-10:30
Wednesday 4-9
Friday 1-9:30
Saturday 10-6:30 (xmas eve... one crazy night at bilo.)

sooo i'm going to go downstairs and watch The Punisher again. that is a GREAT movie. I just watched it last night, but, it's excellent and I can't resist.
