I got in!

Well I did it! I made my program! I start this spring. So that will be really exciting. In other news, I have a lot of big plans in mind. First of all, I have pretty much decided that I am going to China next fall. I will be going to teach children english there. It sounds so amazing. You get to live in the dorms with the little kids and teach them by just playing with them. I think it sounds like a good opportunity. So I'm gonna take a chance and go for it. Thing could always change between now and then, but that is the plan as of right now. Secondly, I am thinking of doing one of two things this next summer. I am going to audution for the Young Single Performing Missionaries opportunity in Nauvoo for next summer. It's hard to get in, so if i'm not able to get in, then I would also like to try to do one of the disney internships during the summer. I have a lot of big plans in the make. So we'll see how it goes. In funny news, I have a group project that is due tomorrow. We have to do a presentation and my group is pretty much crazy!! (which is no good since we get a group grade). There are three of us...me, another girl, and a guy. We got together to plan it the other night and i about lost my mind. The guy wants to pretty much just freak out in the backgroup and pretend like he has teretts during our whole presentation (you'd think he was joking when he said that, but no he was serious!). Guess all i can do is make sure my part is normal and hope my teacher takes pity on me. Dont think anything else is new. I am hoping to come home this weekend for fall break but I haven't decided for sure yet. Guess we will just see what happens.

And the crappy boss award goes to.....

Okay, and now the news about my job. So i got to work on Monday and there was this strange girl sitting at my desk. I also noticed that all my stuff had been cleaned off my desk. I just kinda looked at her and she was like "Oh sorry, Um Jelena isn't here if you want you use her desk. I'm new and i'm going to be sitting here now. They talked about moving you somewhere else". I was totalyl thrown off. So i went and sat at Jelena's desk and started working. Then she comes over and asks how to use the copier, and the printer, and just about every other piece of office machinary that we own! Turns out, she was doing all my work. Yes, that's right folks, they hired another girl to take over all my work. I was livid. My boss said they were planning on moving me to another desk and that she had some huge project that she wanted me to do and that is why they hired another girl to take over my work. Yeah right! I'll believe it when I see it. So next day, i got to work and put my new desk together. Yeah, not only did they kick me out of my spot and let the other chick use my computer and give her all my work, they made me put my own desk together. I am a pro though, as i just barely helped my roommate put one together. But turns out, I am all alone in the very back of the office is a turn little corner with hardly any light. Its kinda a crappy spot. And I have still yet to find out what this "huge project" is. Plus, I checked some of the new invoices that the new girl did...pretty much done all wrong and they are all gonna get sent back. Although, I am trying to be as nice as I can to her cuz it's not really her fault that my bosses kinda low-balled me. So i am stuck in the back, alone, with no project and no computer. I sure hope that I get into my program so that I can quit in january! Cuz things are starting to go downhill at the good old Distance Education Business Office!

The blog about nothing!

Well it's been about a week..and I haven't blogged. So i decided that you all needed some new reading material. The only problem is..nothing exciting has happened to me. So i guess that i'll just ramble and hope you guys dont get too bored. So the other day, me and my roomie went to Wal-Mart in the hopes of trying to find a present for my Sister-in-law cuz it was her birthday (P.S. I think that I found something that she is really gonna love!). We went over to the candy isle to pick up a little something for ourselves and what was staring me right in the face? CANDY CORN PUMPKINS! I love those little guys! And lets face it..it is really only acceptable to eat candy corn of any time during the month of october. So I promptly bought a huge tub and every time I walk past it I pop one or two in the chomper. Delicious! Next, I bought a very cute new umbrella that's lime green. However, since I bought it, it has only rained when I dont have it with me! So i decided that I would start taking it with me wherever I go so that i would get a chance to use it. Since i started carrying it with me, it hasn't rained at all! It's like the fates are against me! So yesterday, i took it out of my bag and opened it to marvel in the cuteness of it once again and forgot to put it back in my bag. So today, what does it do? It rains!! The fates are against me and my umbrella! Oh well...Last but not least (this is actually the most exciting news) I have my interview on friday morning to decide if i get into the elementary education program. YAY! I hope that it goes well. I am really nervous and it's a group interview on top of that. Wish me luck! Well i think that I have sufficently bored you all. And now I have to go to work...which is another thing...but i'll blog about that crappiness later! Thanks for reading...and goodnight!
