Its gonna be a road trip!!!

Amanda — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 02:01:31 +0000

Its official. Katie and I picked a day. We are leaving this place!! Headed out on our own!!

Ok, so maybe we are only taking a road trip to Florida to generally enjoy life and stuff, and maybe we will only be gone for a week or so, maybe a few days more, but still!!! We are on our way!!!

May 23rd we are leaving. It will be awesome. So many things to see and do. Both there and on the way down. Being from Virginia and Florida, I know the way there probably with out a map. Also, I will get to see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which we are both looking forward to. It is just gonna be so awesome. Like every few hours one of us has an idea for something else to do. It will just be grand.

So, this is where you come in. Leave suggestions for songs we should obtain by the time we leave. And also things to see or do in Florida in on the road to Florida, or back. Even if it is awesome places to eat in the south. Like Churchs Chicken Honey Biscuts. Either way, leave your ideas cuz we wanna hear from you!!!

Surviving Valentines Day

Amanda — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:10:09 +0000

Well, I made it through!! Haha. Mostly because I was busy working all day. That makes things easier. Not that it was a hard day. Same day just like any other, just a little bit depressing? Well, only because it makes me wish I had a gorgous man who wanted me. Ah well, just another year.

I am a little but sad I haven’t had a chance to make it to any drug stores yesterday, it was Cheap Candy Day!!

My housemates and I did end the day by watching 300 though!! I love me some gore on such a gushy day, and I do love some rock hard bodies and Gerard Butler!

I fear that he is falling in love with me…

Or at least he thinks he is, which is enough in his mind to still hurt him. I am not out to break hearts on prupose. And now, I am a little freaked out and I think I am going to hurt him. I don’t really want to. But, I feel this might be the only way. I have only spent time with him like three times. So, to normal people that isn’t alot. But to him, I think I got myself in way too deep. Really, if you have any suggestions, throw them at me. How do I get out of this when there is no title yet, but with out breaking his heart?

Whod’a thunk I would have this problem. Not me thats for sure!

Alone on Valentine’s Day?

Amanda — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:36:39 +0000

Probably. Oh well. Another year, another day. All I can continue to do is hope and wait and live my life.

One thing that does piss me off is a friend from high school. I don’t talk to her anymore but that is besides the point. Anyways. Her. She always gets these boys to fall head over heels in love with her in like a month, tops. I don’t get it. I can’t even get a guy to look at me. And I know I’m not ugly. Ugh. Not that I’m jealous, because the love she gets obv. isn’t true if its only a month and then she goes and breaks there heart a month after that. I just don’t understand it.

Well, I will say this, I am jealous of the attention, but not her.

Really just complaining so I’ll stop now.

Who has the creeper status?

Amanda — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 01:12:08 +0000

You wanna google me and read all my posts? Its one thing to stumble upon the blog, or be someone I gave the address to. However, You don’t need to be googling my name. Thats creepy.

The new semester.

Amanda — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 14:53:37 +0000

So, I am really turning over the idea of becoming a baker in my head. It is something I enjoy, and something I am good at, however, I don’t know how to start in that direction. I will need to do alot of research over the next few months so wish me luck, because here it goes.

Is being a teacher really that miserable?

Amanda — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 11:13:11 +0000

So, there was a seminar for my program, where teachers came and talked to us about being teachers. Can you believe how negative they all were? Not a single one was noticably happy about being a teacher. They all SAID they loved it, but nover really showed it. Can you imagine!!

Sooo, after deciding I don’t want to teach in New York State, I took it one step further. I have been on the hunt to find an amazing travel job with the most awesomeest ex-roommate ever. (She transfered schools ugh) Well, she has been searching and we have been bouncing ideas off of each other and she found a link for a cruise line job. Youth Staff. You need your bachelors in Education, which I will have, and a years experience as a physical event instructor, which I have. A year and a half as the rock wall supervisor, planning activities and running programs for groups. Yeah. Sounds like a great job!! I totally want it, but not with out Kayla my roommate somewhere on the ship!

Send me something awesome?!

Amanda — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:09:00 +0000

Who wants to send me a letter? I love getting mail. It would fantastic if you or someone you know wants to send me a letter. Send a simple hello, or a drawing done by your 2-year-old, or even send stickers. Really whatever you want. Just don’t send anything dangerous, I would not appreciate it too much. But letters are totally ok. I would greatly appreciate if you even sent like the title of your favorite book that you think I should read, or your favorite color, SEND ME ANYTHING!!

Or, if you want to get creative, create a capsule about yourself in a care package form.

And remember, I’ll send you something back. It will be written for you. Hand written and everything. Thank you so much guys, cuz I really love mail.

New York State can suck one

Amanda — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:41:03 +0000

The budget is spiraling out of control and there is nothing any one is doing about it! It has severly cut into any state funding I would be recieveing for college. And, because I want to be a teacher, not only are they messing with my future, but any future students of mine. It is highly ridiculous as well the way the support staff, such as financial aid or bursar office empoyees work. Any of them that I have ever dealth with give so few options of how I may resolve the issue or are highly unprofessional in dealing with my issue. And, when asked for recomendations, none are allowed to be given when dealing with options outside of state or federal loans.

I have more documented need than I ever have, and yet I am recieving entirely less funding. I still need to come up with just over $1300 for each semester. I do have a job with which I will attempt to pay but if for some reason hours slip, I will not be able to pay all of it. If for some reason, you would like to help fund my schooling, out of the kindness of your heart, even if it is a penny, I’ll take it. A penny, change, a dollar, it does not matter. It all puts my one step closer to paying for college. Send whatever you would like, even if it is a letter of encouragement.

We have bikes and rollerblades currently but will have skateboards and stuff very soon. Hopefully we can get the geocaching up and going as well. Stop in and say Hi, we are right off the rail trail, in the red house. You have a question, just ask it!
