So...I got a job last week, and yesterday was my first day. I'm working at a daycare (incidentally, the one I went to as a child), 2-6 Monday through Friday. I love it because I don't have to work nights and weekends. :D I can't really say for sure what I think of my job yet, because I've only worked one day, but so far it's not too bad. I just like working with the infants better. The toddlers are tiresome, for lack of a better word. o_O Also, the babies are easy to deal with-- they aren't dirty, or such the like...>< Don't get me wrong, the toddlers weren't TOO bad, it's just they are, erm, hard to remember how to handle. In any case, we'll see how things go from here!
In other news: I've seen the new Star Trek three times already. My review of the movie is almost complete-- I should have it up on the blog soon. It's kinda long, kinda...iono. Spoiler-intensive. :P Not much else is going on since school is over (Note: I got 2 As, 3 Bs, and am keeping my hold on a 3.5 GPA. I am determined to get all As from here on out), and I'm back in a Star Trek mode, therefore I'm back to writing sci-fi. ^_^ Eh heh...

This is going to be an interesting round of...
Friday Fill-ins. :P Also, sometime this weekend I'll be posting a rather spoiler-intensive review of the new Star Trek movie, so stay tuned.
And...here we go!
1. Apples are to oranges as Star Trek is to Star Wars.
2. The new Star Trek movie was great, and makes me want to watch Trek again, but leaves me confused and unsure as to what Trek I actually want to watch, and that's all I have to say about that. Until I write my review tomorrow or such.
3. I think I hear the sound of a great sigh of relief on the horizon.
4. Capture the flag.
5. Do what you want to do, but only insofar as it doesn't harm others or infringe on their rights-- that's my personal philosophy.
6. See, there, officer, there's the culprit right thayre, and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with cream cheese! (yeah, this is a little weird. o.O)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing with my Star Trek tapes, tomorrow my plans include having the grandparents here, I assume, as well as finding out my final semester grades, and Sunday, I want to sit back and do nothing while waiting for my first day of work!

Screaming is a therapy
Or ranting, at least. I am so close to the end, and I need OUT. I am so close to the end, and yet it is just dragging out so much that I want to go home now, screw everything else, and just curl up in bed and wait for it to blow over.
But then, I have two damn days left, and surprisingly still have work left to do T_T I really, really hope next semester isn't like this. I don't remember my finals week being this bad in fall semester, but then again, finals weren't separated by a freakin' weekend. If I'd had finals on Monday last week, I'd be DONE with school already. Mostly. Sorta. More or less. Guh.
Next week I'm gonna have to also go check on the job I'm hoping to get at my former daycare. I applied during spring break, but I haven't heard back from the owner yet, and I told her I could start on May 11th. *sigh* Maybe I'll hear something early next week, and I won't have to go through the trouble or actually going over there and asking her if she's going to need me this summer. Also, I don't want to have to go out and find another job. -.-
Oh, and another thing: I am kinda pissed about my stupid writing class. I love it so much, but still-- I thought I was done worrying! I am seriously afraid of getting a bad grade in that class! I think I'm pretty safe in Math, Honors, and Psychology, but Astronomy I'm not too sure, and ironically enough it's Writing that is my other main concern. T_T If only my semester hadn't been so screwed up because of my own stupid issues, maybe this wouldn't be so much the case. Ugh. Oh, well, I'm hopeful that, if my revised drafts are good enough, I might be able to pull out a decent grade (aka an A or B), and not fail (aka C or lower). *sigh* I really want to know my grades, and yet I kinda don't. We'll find out in a week from tomorrow, I guess...

I Didn't Forget This Week! ..
Here's this week's Friday Fill-in fun! Sorry I forgot about 'em last week... ><
1. The first rule of working in an office and getting along is most likely be friendly and don't be an ass about things, especially to your boss. I've never worked in an office before, so I'm probably not the best one to ask.
2. What do clams have to do with anything?
3. When I think of carnivals I think of that weird Barbie detective game I used to be OBSESSED with as a kid.
4. Hybiscus would have to be my favorite spring flower.
5. Things on my desk include a computer, pencils, papers, CDs, sometimes pretzel bags, pictures, a dictionary, a vase of (fake) flowers...that was me combining my school desk and my home desk.
6. My Astronomy tests, stupid people, and idiotic internet make me wanna scream.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching the Oaks, maaaaaaaybe hanging out with a friend of mine as poooooooooooossibly celebrating Beltane, and I can't tell you how much I'm NOT looking forward to studying today, tomorrow my plans include seeing WES and going to his friend's Derby party and Sunday, I want to RELAX and PACK but the former won't happen because I have to study for my finals on Monday! But Mum and Dad are coming that night to take me out to dinner ^^
***Rants will be forthcoming after finals are over. Stay tuned. : )

Friday Fill-ins!
It's time, once again, for Friday Fill-ins!
1. Anonymous...is a pointless thing to be. If you've got something to say, have the balls to say it out loud and not hiding behind an internet or other persona.
2. Change is a double-edged sword, for as we reach toward the sky with new ideas, we cannot forget our roots and that which led us to where we are today.
3. Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for when I get all this crazy schoolwork done I will feel SO much better!
4. Thunderstorms, holidays, and the end of school are what I look forward to most about Spring.
5. Who needs therapy when, well, you are IN therapy! Hahaha. No, seriously, when you have good friends and a good book into which you can escape, then you're pretty much set. But for the times when that isn't always enough, therapy is a better option than drugging oneself up (I, unfortunately, have both).
6. CHOCOLATE MUST go into the Easter Basket! As someone who isn't Christian, my "Easter" (actually it's called Ostara...I'll post something about that and Beltaine later this weekend) has already happened about a month ago. So, while I wish all observers of the holiday a happy one, and a lovely Passover to those who follow that slant as well, I shall indulge in chocolate that I really don't need but love regardless
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing and writing while watching One Tree Hill, tomorrow my plans include going shopping for my bridesmaid dress for my friend Jess' wedding, as well as working on schoolwork, and Sunday, I want to finish all the work I need to have done, and clean my dorm room!

Blowing off steam and wool-gathering
So this week has been highly stressful. It's not going to get much better, sadly, because it's almost the end of the semester and I have so much to do! Papers, essays, and all sorts of things that I just can't seem to handle. I want a day off just to breathe, but there's no time for even that. Once it gets to the end I'm just going to COLLAPSE and take a weekend to recover. Part of the problem seems to stem from the fact that my medication doesn't seem to be working very much anymore, and that's really, really bad. Thankfully, though, I have a doctor's appointment in a week or two, so I can talk to him about switching my meds.
Something else that's been bothering me is BOYS. I've been seeing this guy Wes since last August, and things are going well enough as can be expected with a semi-long-distance "relationship." However, I've been apparently catching the eye of quite a few other guys here at school, who all happen to be geeks (which doesn't bother me, seeing as I'm a geek too), and who all are really cool guys...as friends. It's just saddening and confusing, when these other guys seem to all be wanting me but the only one I want is constantly frustrating me and I don't know where I stand with him. I must just be a glutton for punishment or something, because I don't see why I keep doing this to myself. It's the same sort of thing with my last boyfriend, Andy-- where we were great together, but didn't see each other all that often (but unlike with Wes, Andy and I hardly got to talk at ALL due to his work situation, where as Wes and I have a fairly regular communication system), but I latched myself to him because I wanted the relationship to work and wouldn't consider other guys.
I'm the type of chick who can't date a bunch of guys. I have to find ONE guy who I can have a long-term relationship with, and finding someone like that doesn't happen often for me. I have slight infatuations rather often, but I only find "that" guy every once in a while, which is why I haven't had many boyfriends. I want that with Wes, but as we're in relationship limbo I don't know what to do. I need to talk to him about it all but it's a terrible time to do so what with finals and all coming up, so...I'm kinda stuck. (Dammit.)
All right, that's my rant for today. I'm gonna take some time off for the afternoon before I get some cleaning done tonight. Later~!
