02:49 am - The state of Michigan sucks

Ok.... this is what I have come to decide....
My day sucked.
Don't read this unless you want to hear me whine.
My tests that i have to take this saturday for teacher certification, well I requested to take one in the morning, and one in the afternoon so I could have a break in between the two tests, ya know, so I can pass them and everything. Right..... or not, but thanks any way State of Michigan. I'm just hoping that I can pass these two tests, thats all I really care about in the end.
I was pretty worked up about this whole ordeal, prolly because I am the worst test taker, ever. But then, to top this off, my jankety radio in my car thinks it is going to break now. I mean, honestly. If I had the money to get a new radio, I wouldn't really care, but unfortunatly, I won't be able to afford to buy a new radio for like another month or so. Whatever, I'll have to sweet talk it or something I suppose.
Ok, I'm done. Sorry.

More so, I can't wait to be back at school in my home. It's rough being home, not having a bed or a room - that kinda sucks. Sleeping on the couch is killing my back and not having anywhere to go to study or just be kinda sucks too. But thats alright, only a couple more days.
But after it is all said and done, I'm grateful. I'm grateful to have been able to have gotten an education so that I could be taking these tests come saturday, I'll be even more gratful if I pass them. I'm grateful that I have a car that has a radio in it, even if both of them are jankety, at least I have them. I'm grateful I have a home to come home to with a family and the best dog ever, even though I don't have a bed and a room, I know there is always room for me on the couch. And I'm happy that Mr. Bear can be with me to snuggle. :) So even though I may have my moments, I'm very aware and very grateful; and I think that makes me one lucky girl.

Kisses!

01:50 am - Happy End of the Semester!

What's this called again? Oh yes, free time! All I can say is, even though every semester has been very busy for me, this semester has been more than busy. I highly dislike taking six classes, with some stupid teachers, stupid homework, blah, blah, blah. And then there is work, and other work, and all those other things mixed in between. I love it all, I do, well, that whole school thing can be iffy sometimes, but looking back, there were so many times were I was so mad at school, but now it's over, and I did alright. So no one, well maybe one or two, but not many people have any clue of how happy I am that classes are OVER!! WAHOOOOO!!!!
I'm looking forward to next semester - my last full semester of classes. Maybe I can become fun again, I dunno....
Nonetheless, no matter how out of control this semester was, there were some things that made it really great. Those things make me really happy, and for this, I feel very lucky.

It's weird to be at home again...kinda sucky because I don't have a room, or a bed... I kind of mosie around, but it's nice I suppose for all of us, my siblings and I, to all be back under one roof for three weeks.
I'm a bit tired and need to get to bed soon I believe so I can get my stupid wisdom teeth out tomorrow. They are such a stupid addition to have to our family of chompers. I wonder if they hurt because they know they are coming out tomorrow, and they want to give me one last, nuh-nuh nuh-nuh nuh-nuh. Stupid wisdom teeth who really only make you look dumb when you wake up with drool all over your pillow in the morning because they hurt all night long. Honestly.

4 more days 'til Christmas kids!



Kisses!

I've fallen out of the LJ world.
Tear.
I've found other such distractions that take up less time, so my blogging is way on pause.

But I would like the ability to freeze time and sleep and such, that would make me happy.

Prolly until break, or when I'm being a super piece and procrastinating my life away to the ultimate, I'm out.

Stay on track kids.

Kisses!

01:56 pm - A little reminder

I've become terrible at checking my email, and when I have something that looks like a chain letter from someone that I know, I don't bother opening it because I don't need to be doomed more bad luck then I have on my own. Although I might be very lucky right now, but nonetheless.
So I happened to open up this one email from Kristie, and it eneded up being an awesome email. And the best part about this, is these are things that I still do from time to time, because as some people would just shake their heads and say, Katie Green, you are one of the most special [ed] people I know. So for anyone who has not seen it, or would like to see it again, because it makes me happy, here is it.


Go back...

Before the Internet or the AIM

Before semi automatics and weed

Before playstation2 or X-bOX

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...


Way back...


I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk.

Red light, Green light.

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.

Mother May I?

Red Rover

four square

Hula Hoops

Running through the sprinkler

Happy Meals

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car



Wait...

Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons

Like Hey Arnold and Doug

Or what about legends of the hidden temple, global guts, double dare, and who, ARE YOU AFFRAID OF THE DARK!

Who could forget Snick

Or the teenage mutant ninja turtles,and Power Rangers,


Christmas morning...

Your first day of school

Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses



Climbing trees

Getting an ice cream off the ice cream truck

A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers

Jumpin' down the steps

Jumpin' on the bed

Pillow fights

Runnin' till you were out of breath

Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt and you almost peed your pants

Being tired from playin' all day

Your first crush...

Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7-Up" in the classroom

Remember that?



I'm not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school

Class Field Trips

When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

When getting high was swinging on the swingset

When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.

When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.

When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"


I want to go back to the time when...

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"

Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

Nobody was prettier than Mom

Nobody was cooler than Dad

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.

Getting an inch of snow was a dream come true.

Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.


If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!




If that didn't make your day, or at least crack a smile, I'm not sure what will.

Current Mood: It's a secret

12:42 am

I tried to look around
To discover where I had gone
But the Keeper of Dreams
Said he hadn't seen me
In quite some time.
I attempted to yell
Very loud
In hopes of an answer
But the only answer
Was the echoing silence
Of my delusion -
My own taunting whispers
Playing with my weak mentality
Decifering between
You and
Me

Current Mood: I heart Thommo

03:54 pm - Whats that, 15 minutes of free time :)

So I was really worried last night when I went to bed because my homework was not done. But today, magically some how, I got it done, and I have like 15 minutes to spare, and that makes me happy! I woke up this morning, I didn't know what I had to get up for, and I was sorta out of it, not tired, just out of it. Anyways, finally, at 7:50 I woke up and thought the myself, shit, I have to work at 8! That was a good time. Anyways, work today made me feel like a mean person because I had to yell at someone for printing like 100 copies. I have to admit, I was a bit frustrated with the fact of the matter as well. And then this guy goes on to tell me how I don't understand and how he's a grad student. I should have asked him what one of those was, and if I could shake his hand. Instead, I stated that I didn't understand why they couldn't buy course packs like the rest of the world. He prolly thought I was just some mean undergrad. Ah well, that was the excitment of my day I suppose.
I'm so happy that I got my homework all done in time. I still have a day ahead of me, but it's all class from here on out, and a rush event, celebrate spirit practice, and then homework (homework that I actually can't wait to sit down and do, weird as that may sound.) So really, I'm free coasting from here on out the rest of the day. Horaaay fo me getting my super powers back! :)
Well, I think I may go and rest my head on the desk until my class starts - what a shame that is;)
As freaking hella crazy as the semester is, doesn't kinda feel good to be back in the swing of things?


Kisses!


Ah, I can't wait for Fall!
No worries kids, no worries.

01:23 am - Holy goodness, it's August!

So I'm not going to be a teacher anymore. I'm going to grad school, and I'm soooo excited about it. It's kinda crazy how you envision for so long this person that you are going to be, and work so hard to get there, and then all of a sudden, clear as day you realize that there is something that you might enjoy more. May sound weird to you, but for me, I am so lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring people.

Philly was freaking awesome! Even though I was two days late for the conference(because of SOAR), and I was that girl that came out of nowhere all of a sudden, I still had an awesome time. It made me realize even more that I wanted to go to grad school. It was great being surrounded by so many other peers from around the country who have the same passions as you. I was so lucky to have the chance to go. :) I'm for sure going next year, even if I have to pay for it on my own, plus it's going to be in Kansas, which is awesome because I love traveling and I've never been there, and because the conference itself is just so freaking awesome and a wonderful experience!

Konvention was good also. Prolly the shortest Konvention that I have ever been to,(out of 3) which was soooo nice - no need for the run around. It was nice not having to travel for ever to get there because we hosted it. (Plus I'm not sure if Debbie could have survived another long car ride/adventure with me) There were so many girls talkin' smack about Detroit, which was kind of whatever to me, so screw them. Detroit rocks my socks.

I'll leave it up to Thom to tell of our adventure tonight. It consists of walking around DT - in the dark. Grabbing some dinner. Losing $10.00 (for me at least), and pulling the wrong way down a one way street head on with a Police car. And then trying to get home....

SOARs are now over, which is awesome. Now it's all about PTV, which is the best! Thom and I are both very excited for leader training, and I'm excited for both training and PTV. :)

I Still hate Astronomy even more than I did before. Two more weeks.....

I'm kind of disturbed that out of my stacks of chick flicks that I have, none of them are what I'm looking for. How does that happen? Oh well, I should be in bed anyways, but I'm sure I'll prolly end up watching you've got mail or one fine day or cinderella or maybe i'll just put on some jams and write, because I haven't been able to do that lately.

Kisses!


How did we forget
To let the good times roll
How could we neglect
The bright smiles and kind eyes
How did we miss
To walk outside of the lines
How did we forget
To let the good times roll

11:54 pm - Instead of doing my homework...

I am an irish girl with a sunless tan job gone.... VERY WRONG. **(Does anyone know any concoctions that may help to lighten the darker parts from this like my feet and hands?)** Horayyy for pretending to be tan... and looking like an idiot because of it. It's not my fault I can't ever get color, I work too hard.

I still hate astronomy.

Beep Beep, who's got the keys to the Saturn?..... Must be me!! Oh yes kids, my car is..... up and running. We're not sure if it is fixed exactly yet, so until it proves that it is not, I'm back in business baby! ::Keeping our finger's crossed::

Monica and I are going out on a date tomorrow to eat some mexican food and to drink in better hopes of calming the storm before the storm even comes. It's a good thing that we do not take on gender roles when we are out or together, because if I was Monica's boyfriend, then I would blatantly be her bitch. Thommo thinks boys are to score food and movies and such from. I'm trying to explain to her that boys are most definitely for snuggling, but she thinks thats "mushy." Whatever Thom!

Thom is creating a sleep-out by the rock next Tuesday. Join in on the fun everyone!

It's too bad that I hate my class, which forces me to be a slacker.

Kisses!


It will only be what you could imagine it may be.

05:28 pm - Sooo not a model...

After doing a 2 hour photo shoot for the university, I've decided that I never would like to be a model, especially when it is freaking 90 degrees and humid. My hair is a ball of frizz, shouldn't have straightened it, should have let it go ahead and be curly; and my clothes are like sticking to my body, Briggs needs to invest in some air conditioning for the love of goodness! I hope the pictures come out good though ::fingers crossed::

I've also deicded that astronomy is the devil, and my teacher is even worse than Satan. He is dick-head AND an asshole, but all balled up into one. I guess that makes him a fuck head, or something of the sort. Also, I think I'm gonna need to go to the doctor because I have the sleepy, headache, light headedness sickness again that I had at the end of the year. Ah well, life goes on.

I know I'm just whinning, but I had to for like 2 minutes.
Besides whinning....
I've turned from not drinking at all the summer, to drinking much too much. I blame it on Monica Thom, and Debbie! It would be ok, but some of those times were me just drinking some beers because my teacher is a jerk-off.
Thom and I have realized that we have opposite taste, and of course, it is in the only two things that matter, alcohol and men - go figure. It's alright though, because of this, we had to decide that we were not fit to be in a publicized open relationship.

I wish I could have gotten to enjoy summer a bit more. Thats alright, I'll make up for that at the beginning of the school year I'm thinking. The NJSLC conference is next week, and I'm way excited for that. It's gonna be one hell of a busy week, but that's alright because I am superwoman.

Yea, I'm not too interesting or amusing currently, I'm pretty tired and chill. I'm out of context.


I really would like to be someone great
Someone you remember out of the blue
Someone who made you smile through and through
For the sake of goodness, I will be great
I've got the passion


Kisses!
