So, it has been a little while since I last posted. Sorry!
Firstly....HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE....there is about 5 mins left!
I have been super busy with school. I am attending my local community college full time for Journalism, yay! I am on the staff at the school paper. I am both a reporter and the web editor. You can read some of our stories online at www.Bucks-News.com if you would like.
I like it and I am having some fun with it. I have even managed to hold down some decent grades, which is suprising for those that I went to high school with. Though, that was long ago.
So, even though it has been a while since I have posted, I don't really have much to say.
I am off to do some homework...ta ta |

| Elvis has left the building.... |

The Elvis story at Harrah's in Atlantic City was shockingly good. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows anything about Elvis. The kid who plays Elvis is not a perfect match in the face, but man can he sing. This kid belted out those Elvis songs like I have never heard before. The show was more like a musical about Elvis's life and less like a concert. It was great. I even got to meet the actor afterward. He was a very nice guy. His name is Jaime Aaron Kelly, which is also his website address. I am going to check it out for my father and see what I can find out about the show and this kid. |

So my student loan still has not gone through...which is stressing me out a little I must say. I only have one (very small) paycheck left from work and it is not nearly going to cover my expenses. I am finding that returning to school full time is so much more stressful than going straight from high school.
On the bright note...I am going to Atlantic City tomorrow with my father. He is taking me to see an Elvis show. It is sort of like a musical about Elvis's life. So that should be fun. Though, I am very unlucky when it comes to gambling, so I don't really do it. My father is a fun guy to hang out with though and I am sure that we will have a good time, even if I do lose all his money.
Stay tuned for updates...I will be sure to write you all a little recap of my storm of Atlantic City upon my return. |

| All Set for School |

Well, good afternoon all!
I am in a great mood today. I got all my classes registered and I am an official full time student at Buck County Community College. I still do not have my student loan money, but I was able to get on a payment plan with the school. I only had to pay half of my tuition today and I have until Oct 19th to pay the remaining balance.
I am very excited!! |

I am having major issues in regard to my student loan for the Fall Semester of school. See a customer service rep at the bank told me that my student loan should only take about 2 weeks to go through. She told me how to check the status on-line, so I did. What I found was a message that stated something along the lines of...
Information has been requested from your school, please check back in 7 to 10 weeks.
7 to 10 weeks! School starts in less than 4 weeks and class registration is tomorrow. For those of you who are unfamiliar, tuition is due at registration. So now I have to figure out what I am going to do.
I spoke to my boyfriend who, being the greatest ever, wants so desperately to help me. Now he is on a crazy mission to come up with enough money to help me pay for books and still pay my bills while I wait for my student loan money. He is really the sweetest guy. He knows, from when he was in college, how hard it is to work and go to school full time. He doesn't want me to have to go through that.
However, the prospect of him contributing to the payment of my schooling or bills is really weird to me. I am not really digging it. Especially considering the fact that he in no way contributed to me acquiring any of my bills. I do love him so much and I am so appreciative of this incredible gesture, but it doesn't make me feel right. It is way too much. It is like I messed up, I didn't save enough and get in gear to go back to school in time to do all of these loan and aid things in the right time frame, and now he is taking it upon himself to clean it up for me. Not to mention that paying money toward my education or bills is a really big deal and, though we are very strongly connected, we haven't been together that long. I don't want 1.) for him to feel like he HAS TO help me or support me financially because that is what I want or except of him and 2.)I don't want him to think that I can't take care of things on my own.
I don't know. I do hope, however, that I am able to get things together in time to make this semester of school. I have a lot of people watching me and waiting for me to fail. These same people are, of course, one of my major driving forces. I really want them to choke on their own words when I am actually in school and making something of myself. |

| Long Night...Early Morning |

It is 6:30am and I am wide awake. I spent the last maybe 2 hours trying to get back to sleep. I had bad dreams last night so I guess that is why I can't sleep. Oh well, I guess it is time for cereal! (for those of you who don't yet know me, food is a huge part of who I am, I absolutely LOVE to eat) |

| First thoughts of mad writer... |
[Aug. 4th, 2005|03:34 pm] |
Well hello to everyone reading this journal. This is my first entry in to this journal so I guess that we should start at the very beginning.
I am a freelance journalist/writer/reporter (which ever you prefer), poet always, and a full time college student. Well, the college student part is a small stretch because I haven't actually started classes yet. Classes start the end of this month.
Going back to school should be great, but I am long out of high school and not looking forward to spending so much time with 18 year olds. Even the 2.5 hours I spent with these children during our placement testing was trying on my patience. Our proctor stepped out of the room for a moment to address someone knocking on the door and one of the boys in the room actually yelled out "We should lock her out!".
Now, as someone who has worked very hard in life to be able to reach the point where I can actually take the time and money to (paying my own way as I do not qualify for financial aid) go to college, I wanted to slap this boy upside the head. My god, how can you sit there in your $50.00 khaki cargoes, and not appreciate having the opportunity you have to be here. I really wish that I could conjure into their minds a vision of what the real world is like, and what the people, such as my self, who did not have the option to postpone real life by going straight to college from high school have had to endure in order to survive. Not to mention what they will actually have to deal with after college, but I can't. No one can. The is no substitute for real experience.
Anyway, I am trailing off. This page is supposed to be about keeping those who know me up with new events in my life, while allowing those who want to know me better a glimpse in to me. So on with my story...
I am not married, nor am I in a rush to be married. I do have a wonderful boyfriend, who helps me stay balanced by maintaining the perfect mix of friend and lover. We had dated briefly in high school, and after breaking up did not really stay in touch. I then became involved with another boy and spent the next 9 years with him. During that time, through a mutual friend, my current boyfriend and I started to chat again via AIM.
To make a long story short, the relationship that I was in had been crumbling for some time, and finally everything had come to a head. We separated and I moved back in with my parents. After that, I started to once again spend time with my long lost friend in person. We spent a while maintaining a platonic friendship and then, later, allowed things to slowly progress to where they are today.
So that covers the relationship and current work status sections of my story. I am certain that I have written more than enough for this edition. I will be updating soon, so check back often. |
