This is getting old

Almost a month ago my best friend and I were in my car heading to pick up a friend of mine in Alexandria. We were all going to go to the Ball State game that night. I had to pick my sister up from school and take her to my grandparent's before I left though. I picked my sister up from YHS and headed back to Muncie. We stopped at a gas station so i could get gas and put some oil in my car. After I filled my car up with oil we drove away and my car started to blow smoke from the back big time. My car also wouldn't drive very well i had to push all the way down on the gas pedal to get it to do anything. Luckily my best friend lived down the road from my grandparents so I went to pick her up. Then we went to EARL'S  to see if they could tell me what was wrong with my car.  They told me my car was not drivable and I 'd have to find a way home. Luckily my step dad was right down the road so he picked us up. My day was suppose to be fun and exciting and it turned awful. He dropped my friend and I off at the game anyways. We went to the game and had a good time then went to Bdubs with my aunt and her boyfriend Jason. We hung out with then for a while. About a week later after getting into it with my dealership i bought  the car from my car was towed back to where I bought it from. Well I was told at first that it was a timing belt issue. I later received a call saying they did not know what was wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic test and found that it was my engine that needs replaced. Great that's going to cost sooo much money. Its been two weeks and I have not heard anything from  anything. I have called and called and called asking them to tell me something but they never call back. I am really getting sick of this place. My mom knows the owner of my car dealership. So she talked to him directly the other day and told him we needed to know something. As of right now I am still making car payments on a car I don't have and can't drive. I think that because I am still making payments the least they can do is tell me whats going on. Chad, the owner. told my mom that Jim is looking for a motor for my car. Ok! Great at least I know something is going on! But first off why can't they tell me why do we have to get the owner involved in order to get anything solved. Its stupid and shouldn't take all of that. So anyways I basically found out that I am still going to be without a car for a while. It is not a big deal to me because I walk to my classes and stuff it just sucks not having the car because i work about 5 to 6 days a week. Most nights I work I close which means I get off around midnight sometimes later. If I don't have a ride home then I have to walk. I have to walk from Fazolis on McGalliard back here to my dorm. Its at least a 40  minute walk. And a girl walking alone that late at night is scary. I don't mind walking to work when its broad day light but walking at midnight sucks. This whole not having a car thing is really getting old. And receiving this news is just the icing to the awful week I have had.

Life can be difficult

Back in April i went through an experience that i hope nobody else has to go through. I was hit with a baseball bat by the guy I was living with and engaged to. I was put in the hospital. Since then my life has had its up and downs. I know that us not being together is the best thing. I know that it just was not meant to be. But there are moments where I get sad. Tonight I was sitting with my roommate and we were talking about our ex boyfriends showing each other pictures. I was looking at pictures on my mom's facebook when I noticed she had pictures of the guy that hit me. They were pictures of us at my junior prom. I started to grow through the pictures. We looked so happy and then for some reason I started to think why? Why and how did we go from being so happy to him hitting me and putting me in the hospital. I started to cry and think about the past. While I am happy with my life and love who I am with now that experience still had an impact on me. I guess i am just not fully over it like I thought. Will I ever be able to look at pictures of us and not cry or care. I sure hope that one day I will....

My Aunt Kim

I have two Aunt's that live down in Florida. Usually we always go to Florida during our Spring Break but this year we were not able to. My Aunt Vicky came down over Christmas but my Aunt Kim was not able to. It has been a year since I have been able to see my Aunt Kim. she finally was able to get some time off from her job though and come visit. Last night around 10 p.m. my Aunt Kim and her boyfriend got into Indiana and stopped to stay in a hotel. They are going to arrive here in Muncie about 11am and I can not wait. It stinks though because I have class then after my classes have to go right into work so i am not going to be able to spend time with her or really see her today. I took Thursday and Friday off though hoping to spend time with them. They are only here until Sunday so my only chances of seeing them will be Thursday and Friday because I work every other day. I am so excited to have my Aunt Kim here. I love her and have missed her so much!

My Labor Day Weekend

Most people looked forward to the 3 day weekend but not me. At first , yes I was looking forward to it but then on Thursday, the day of our first BSU football game of the 2010 season, things went badly and i know it would ruin my weekend. I found out that my car was shot. No longer drivable at all. I need a new water pump, timing belt, and timing belt component. So I had to leave my car at the shop and I have to find a way to come up with the money to get it fixed. Well my step dad showed uo and took my friend and I to the game so we did not miss out. Then at the game we sat in part of the student section. Right in front of my best friend and i was this guy who by the middle of the second quarter threw up everywhere because he was so drunk. It was nasty and made me want to gag. Once half time hit we moved to the lawn to watch the rest of the game. Then after the game a few of us went to Bdubs where I tried these nasty wings and ended up wasting money on them because i only ate like 3 wings. My friend was going to stay the night with me Thursday night but they would not let her stay in my dorm so we had to call and find another way for her to get to another friends house. Then Friday I had a mirgraine almost all day. I also had to stomach flu or something like that because I was very sick and throwing up and running a fever. I stayed sick in bed all day Saturday and could not even really est. Sunday I forced myself to get up and go to work. I walked 30 minutes to work and had to run the shift and store from 11am to about 9pm. It was crazy. My manager that was closing at night decided to just disappear at one point leaving me to run the entire store by myself. I was running back and forth like a chicken with my head cut off. After work i went and stayed at my aunts house and took my laundry with me. My youngest cousin kept whining and was being a spoiled baby all day Sunday and Monday. Monday got a little better because we went to my great grandparents and got to see the family. It was a bitter sweet moment because my great grandparents are sick and we have to put them in a nursing home so this cookout was also a meeting to decide what would happen with them and their house. My labor day weekend was nothing exciting or as good as i thought and was hoping it would be. I am really glad to be back in school and into the swing of going to classes.

My job

I currently am employed at Fazolis here in Muncie. I have been working there for almost two years. it is very crazy there. Currently, I am working on getting promoted to shift leader which is a type of management position. It definitely makes life crazy and stressful. I usually go to my classes then have to rush back to my dorm rush to the stadium and rush to work and then i usually close. I do not get home form work til sometimes 1 am and then stay up and do homework. College is definitely stressful and a lot harder now that I am training for this position. But in the end it will be worth it! Better pay which means more money and we all know as college students we need the extra money any chance we can get.
