Stupid Cops!
Wow, its been awhile since I have had a few minutes to sit down and do this. My life is retarded (see I can spell ;) ) School and work are kicking my ass, Im not going to Azle to teach today because, well I just cant deal with that today. I don't want to drive out there. So I am just going to go on Thursday, we have an SAI rush function tonight anyways, and I really should be there. My main reason for not wanting to drive that far is because I got a ticket for going 93 on I-30 last night, which is a 60 mph zone. The cop was really nice, which just made me feel worse. But Laura noticed that my last name was spelled LAMBERT on the ticket, not LAMBERTI so i can try to get it dismissed because Im not Anne Lambert. Well Ill come back and vent later, I have to go to band *rolls eyes*
Is it possible to loathe school as much as I?
Ahhh, so two days of the semester down... a billion more to go... or at least it seems like it. I bought my books tonight and it was $371 with tax... BAH! Well lets see....Music Theory IV: I was so tired this morning... I was about to fall asleep. Dr. Walters is really cool, incredibly intelligent, he just doesn't keep my attention like Dr. Hunt did... Piano III: I remeber why I stopped going to class last semester. I think she has decided to make things harder for us, I wish I would have gotten my butt out of bed last semester, but now I have learned from my mistake...German II: I love Mrs. Williams. I am so excitied about this semester, I need to get caught up on where we left off last semester, because I kind of shut down in that class at the end, dont know why tho...Concert Band: So yeah, after university band yesterday Clements asked me if I had the time open to be in Concert band as well as University, so of course dumb me said yes... so now I have band 5 days a week... who-hoo *please note sarcasm*...Percussion: Ausdemore is cool. I think this will be the first methods class that I will learn anything in... yay!Ear Training IV: So I was late the first day... not a good way to start the semester. Dr Chave is calling me Anne Margaret... whatever, as long as I get my Critter (C) as Dr Hunt calls them ...Social Psychology: I am going to LOVE this class. I am so excited... not too excitied that my book was $101, but oh well. My prof is super cool as well. He said his goal for the class was for when we leave the last day, for us to be able to get a better deal on our next car, house, or whatever we buy. I thought that was great. I am looking forward to this soo much....University Band: Didn't know my sight reading skills were that good, but apparently... yeah Concert band's music is better... but whatever... good and bad points to both. Rehearsal went really well.. Clements was quite impressed....Music Lit: DAMN $181 BOOK! GRRR! had to get that out... other than that, if I can stay awake with Mr Powell, I will learn sooo much in that class... yay for learning
Lessons were okay yesterday, 2 kids didn't show up... time to call some parents.... grrr...
Mood: Happy but already tired of school... lol
Fabulous!
Hello everyone! I have been in and out the last couple days, really busy. I worked today... I was a food runner, which means that I don't have to deal with stupid people. I just give them their food and thats all... Well the servers tip the food runners out, and I worked with John and we both got $100 , for a Sunday afternoon, when no one made much money, very nice. Its actually fun, you don't ever get bored. Needless to say I was happy because that covered the rest of my rent as well. I've gotten sick again.... it really sucks. Its pretty much the same crap that I got a few weeks ago. Really sore thoart, stuffy nose, aching neck. I don't know what it is... but I want it to go AWAY! Not much el;se is going on... hmmm... I don't work again until Thursday, but I teach Tuesday... and my kids are paying me, YAY! So my bank account will no longer be $167 overdrawn!!! YAY.... WUNDERBAR!!!!!!!! Well I must go now....
Mood: Sick of being Sick
SAI rant
So yeah... its midnight, and I just got home from our SAI meeting... 4 hours people! Well 3.5 once it actually started! We covered so much stuff, but it was fun, I had fun at least... We are going to be doing soo much this semester... Any of you who are fellow sisters, if you wouldn't mind giving me some Rush ideas, we need to do something more original than dinner and pizza, or bowling... thanks! I am so excited about this semester. We are going to try to arrange for a retreat at the beginning of Spring Break and go to Austin and get together with their chapter... that will take some time work out.. but it sounds awesome! Anyways... enough about that. Well most of my crap is moved over to the new place. I just have mostly junk left in the other closet that I need to get moved over here. I think its funny how I just keep moving my crap from place to place. I need to get a cork bulletin board and a dry erase board for my room. I used to have a big cork board, but its sooo old, I doubt it would stay up on my wall... I LOVE the new place. Its so open... it feels more like home than the other apartment did. Ahhh... I am happy. I am looking forward to starting a the semester on Tuesday. Most of my classes are going to be fun... Im also glad that I got out of Clarinet Ensemble this semester... I was so tired of that class. I love Dr. Jessup and all... but damn. Well I must leave you for tonight. I have LOADS of laundry to do! Ohhh! Im going to Richardson tomorrow to watch Sex and the City....shhh don't tell me anything yet.. Nancy has Tivo so its recorded! YAY!
Mood: Happy
Moving in the rain SUCKS!
Hey-lo everyone! Wow its been a crazy past couple of days, well not "crazy" but at least busy. My mom went to Arlington with me to help me move apartments yesterday, in the POURING rain. Driving was horrific! And then today I worked and moved some more crap from place to place. I got a new bed.... Im happy, now I just need to get some new sheets, and I'll be all sorts of happy! I love the new place! Its wonderful. It is smaller, but its more homey, its brighter, and I LOVE, Love, love the kitchen. here's a floor plan. I am in the room on the left. The closets are fantastic... Meredith says hers is too small, well it actually is smaller than the ones at the old place. The only problem that we have is there isn't a coat closet, but because I have less junk than Mere, we're just going to put the vaccum and stuff in my closet, I don't care...
I made a car payment yesterday, I am proud of myself... I am still behind, but soon I'll be caught up, at least with that... I'm taking babysteps because I am still in debt... but BAH!
Well work was interesting today, the waterfall started overflowing, and there was a few gallons of water all over the floor. They had to shut off the waterfall for quite some time so we didn't just keep wasting water. Personally, I found it quite amusing, I mean come on... the managers were freaking out, running back and forth from the office to the kitchen, calling eachother, and I'm sitting in the break room eating lunch, watching all this happen. I understand customer saftey and all that stuff... but anyways... I had a pretty good day at work... I was in 19, a super crappy section, but we were busy, so it stayed full. I made 60 bucks, but 50 of it had to go into my checking account so I wouldn't be overdrawn come monday... But remeber, that 60 was after about a $35 tip-out, so in all I made 95 on just a saturday afternoon... yeah...
Man my legs hurt... stairs suck! I'm going to do my room purple and blue when I get extra money to get sheets and curtains and stuff. Anyways, I need to get to cleaning. Have a wonderful evening. Oh and my aunt is buying my books for me... YAY!
Random quote: "If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight." ~ George Gobol.... lets think about this for a second... or maybe not... lol
Mood: Pooped! But very excitied!
Azle is far, far away!
Texas is retarded. 2 days ago it was 80 degrees, we were setting record highs and now its freaking 30 something outside. I don't mind cold, I mean I want to live up north like Chicago or something, but I want it to stay cold, none of this back and forth crap. It makes me sick *literally* I have been coughing so hard today that my stomach aches! This blows. But other than a horrible cough, I am much better than I was this weekend. I got Austin sick over the phone... lol we haven't seen each other in over a week and we had the exact same symptoms the same days... kinda wierd....
Well I went to Azle to teach today, thats a hella long drive from Richardson, from Arlington its not bad, but damn... from home it sucks. 4 of my kids paid me for the month and one paid for todays lesson... thats still 7 who didn't pay me. One of my girls owes me from last month as well. Thats just slightly annoying. But anywho, I have enough to get my bank account positive again.. its been awhile since that happened. Hopefully they didn't close my account. I haven't gotten any letters saying they have so I am not too worried. Ugh, I need to find out how much my books are going to be for the semester. My music lit book is supposed to be incredibly expensive. However, I don't have to get a new German book, tha put a big dent in my pocket last semester. Eh... oh well.... Good night!
Mood: Wonderful except for an aching tummy

"College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two." -Andy Stern
I don't know who Andy Stern is, but I'll google him and find out
6 days until school starts3 days until I move into my new apartment
Mood: Pissed, they took out the money for rent.... BAH!
Azle Is Not Close, Please come to your Lessons!
So yeah, I went to Azle to teach today... ok I have 7 students.... I taught 3 today. Okay now I wouldn't be that pissed but Azle is an hour and half from Richardson... One of my kids, Kara, called me last night and told me she wasn't going to be there, so no big deal. Well apparently Kim, my really good student who made state (yay for her) can't take lessons on Tuesdays. Does she call me and try to work things out? No she tells Rayanna and I hear it from Rayanna. Bah! What am I supposed to do? Plus Kim still has 2 originals of mine... Saint-Seans Sonata and Weber Concertino. I like her and all, and I love teaching her because there is so much more that I can do with her, but damn, she doesn't even have the decency to call me and let me know. Then Cara didn't show up to school today... nothing new, but again she didn't call me. She still owes me from December lessons as well. Well Rayanna told me she wasn't at school.... so during my hour break *rolls eyes* I called her to see what was up and whoever answered the phone said that she wasn't available. Grrr! I was said well just let her know she missed a lesson and because she missed a lesson, she still owes me. I mean, if you wake up and you are sick, fine, I won't charge you but damn it, call me! It’s not that hard. Then I called Ricky because his time is 6:30 and I wasn't about to wait around for another hour after Crystal's lesson.... so I called him to see if he wanted to move up. Well he said he wasn't coming today! Bah! WTF! You were at school and you’re just not coming to your lesson. I know I missed a few lessons in high school, but I always had a good reason, usually I was sick. Especially if it was during the summer, I always called Mrs. Deuby and told her the minute I knew I wouldn't be having a lesson. Dumb kids! So yeah, I taught 3 lessons today but I was there for 2.5 hours because an hour I was doing nothing.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
On a lighter note, my campus life account still isn't clear so maybe I'll be getting the larger amount back. You would think they would do it all at once... I don’t know
I took this
quiz, it said I should move to#1 Worcester, Massachusetts... umm?I like#4 Boston, Massachusetts#5 Hartford, Connecticut#7 Chicago, Illinois#8 Long Island, New York
interesting....
Mood: Frazzled!
I love my Mommy!
I spent a long time with my mom yesterday. It was a lot of fun actually. I can't remember the last time that my mom and I went out together. We had to go to the tax office to get stickers and plates for David but the line was insane! It even took me 45 minutes of waiting to find a parking spot, so we ended up leaving. Then we went to Rainforest and had lunch... yummy! I don't like ALL of the food that we serve, but of course, I don't eat the things that I don't like. My mom tried calamari and she liked it. She was like... wow fried squid... interesting. lol We were going to go to a movie, but I needed to get gas because I have to go teach today, so we just put a rain check on that for another time. Maybe later in the week or something. Then we went back to David's, I played with Kacie (my adorable niece) for awhile and then I left. I went over to Jon's to see Jen and we watched the second Harry Potter movie. Then it was about 11 so I decided to come home. I was damn tired, I don't know why though. Oh Well...
I checked online today to see if my loans have come in and they did.... so yay.... but I don't know if they are going to pay my apartment or not. You would think that when everything went thru, they would do it all at the same time, but I don't know. I hope they didn't because yes, I am going to use the money for rent, but I also need to catch up on car payments, pay some people back, and buy books. I might still ask my aunt to help me buy books, she did last semester. That would help me a lot. Well anyways, that is about all that happened yesterday/this morning. I have to get my stuff together to go teach... yay! I have one girl and she owes me from December as well as January, and if she doesn't pay me... I am going to tell her to leave, well that's what I say now but she owes me now for 6 lessons (because we pay in advance). Bah! I don't know if I can be that mean. Anyways...
Mood: Happy if I get $1800 back pissed if I don't... it all depends
Is this really happening?
Its been a kinda slightly eventful past couple of days. Lets see... I talked to AJ for a few hours, well several... and it was a real conversation. We talked about a shit-load of stuff from how the fan was making me sick looking at it, to a lot of stuff about him an Sam and me and what I have been doing. I was never once jealous and niether was he. Thats why I said the other day that hell froze over and all that stuff. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoyed the conversation, it felt nice to be able to talk to him again. I mean the boy was my best friend for 3 years, excluding the time during the summer that we didn't talk. I still do love him, just not in a passionate way anymore, I haven't felt that for quite sometime. I told him that. He responded with the same awnser. Everything is out in the open now. He knows I think about him from time to time, wonder what if, wonder if certain things were different how we would be right now. But I really don't want a realtionship with him, I want a very good friendship. But of course that will take time, like all other things, and I am willing to be patient. But now I know we can talk again, which gives me some comfort. I mean its really hard when one day you have your best friend (well we were fighting, but go with me here) and then boom suddenly thats taken from you, its kind of hard to deal with. I know it will be a LONG time before AJ and I can do anything besides talk at school or the phone, maybe get lunch, but again, I am willing to wait. He is a good person and he deserves someone wonderful, and from what he told me about Sam, he has found someone wonderful. It does make me sad that he has found someone that makes him happy and its not me, but I made him happy for a very long time... we fit together for a very long time. But our time is over now... we don't fit anymore *in a relationship* and I am able to deal with this. I had an AJ that no one else will ever be able to have. My AJ is a horn player, a musician, a bassist, a guy who is incredibly intellegent, loves math, all state horn player, wanted to be a horn player... basically a horn player... but thats not who he is now. Now hes a math geek, hes still AJ, but hes different, basically, hes not the AJ that I was in love with. But hes the AJ thats right for Sam... I hope that makes sense. I had and will always have musician AJ and he will never be that person again, and Sam has math AJ who makes her happy. So there.... enough about that....
I slept the day away on Friday because I stayed on the phone all night. My brother came over, I think I told him that I would do something when I woke up... well I woke up at 10:30 because my phone was ringing and then I remebered that I promised Cathleen that I would go to the Animation Show at the Inwood with her. It was pretty cool, some of the stuff was like.... what the fuck am I watching, but mostly it was cool. I worked a double on Saturday, I think I made like 80 bucks, it wasn't very busy. The computers crashed and for 5 minutes there was complete crazyness. I mean it was like hell. Everyone was going crazy. All of the computers, so no one was able to put in orders or print checks... nicht! Then I went to dinner with my friend Catherine and came home and went to sleep... just to wake up and go to work again today.. who-hoo! I watched Sex and the City tonight, I cried. Oh well, I am going to miss that show. I think I have rambled enough tonight.... Love you all!
Mood: very pleased and happy
Holy Crap!
hell has frozen over, cows are coming home, and yeah i saw a pig fly.....
Today in my life....
Hey-lo everyone! I worked for like 2 hours today, felt kind of worthless but oh well. *shrugs* you never know until you get there, I made 20 bucks tho. I decided that I want to get my nails done again, I just have to decide on where. I also want to get my eyebrows waxed. My friend Angela said that it doesn't hurt that bad. so maybe... Cathleen and I went to dinner at Houstons, we waited for like an hour and when we actually got food... I wasn't very hungry anymore, but its okay, the salad was good, so I picked at it for about an hour... we went there to visit Rob which was cool as well. So yeah, I have to make money for books appear out of nowhere... not quite sure how that one is going to work, but anyways. I am going to this animation festival with Cathleen tomorrow night at midnight, I am not quite sure what I am in for, but she said it is going to be fun, at least we find the same things amusing. We get out of school a week later this semester because we are starting a week later... that sucks. I would rather get done earlier, it just seems better, however I know that you spend the same amount of time in school, but whatever. I've decided that I want to take a trip of Spring Break, I don't know who with and I don't know where, but I really want to. I haven't been out of Texas since AJ and I went to Chicago in 2002. Chicago sounds fun, but too many memories might make it not to spectacular...maybe, maybe not.... Not quite sure yet. I could always go to St Louis and visit Cathleen, but I don't know if anyone else would find that exciting, probably not... Its a few months away so I have time to decide, but still... I should go to a city that I've never been to, but I dont want to go to any beaches because those are flooded during Spring Break, too many people. I don't mind being around a bunch of people I know, but a bunch of drunk people that I don't know, doesn't sound too exciting to me.... enough randomness for today
The beginning list of places to go for Spring Break
-Chicago-St Louis-New York *never been always wanted to go*
Mood: Happy, a bit bored tho
Textbooks = EXPENSIVE!
So I just got done checking out the prices of my books here we go
Music Theory IV MWF 9-9:50 already have book

So thats all used: $276.50 or all New: $ 364.24 It will be somewhere in there... ugh I hate buying books, but oh well... yay college. So I went on UTA's registration site today to see if my loans checks have gone thru yet. Well they have not and they have listed that I owe housing for my apartment already. grrness! So I won't get my $1800 back, it will be more like $300. So I am going to have to figure something out with Meredith, because I can't get them to change it. grrr stupid housing office *rolls eyes*. And it sucks too because Nancy needed some money for insurance and well, $300 wont quite do it. BTW, our housing office is incredibly dumb but yeah, I will probably rant about that at another time.
MY BANK ACCOUNT IS POSITIVE AND NOT CLOSED!!! ME = SUPER HAPPY!!!
So anyways... Cathleen and I went to Washington Mutual and put it in the night deposit atm thing so that I wouldn't have see the look on the tellers face. lol anyways... Well anyways, I must go now, I need to shower and stuff... Cathleen and I are going out with Austin today/tonight and hopefully Liz will be coming as well and were going to go out to dinner for Austin's birthday!
Mood: Happy/Excitied!
What did I do this Year?
I SAW LOTR RETURN OF THE KING TODAY!!! I'm so happy, I've wanted to see it since midnight the night it came out. I went with my brother, but still I am very happy! Well it's almost 3 am and I have to get up at 10 for work, but of course I am not tired. After the movie Cathleen and I went to Wal Mart and didn't buy anything *of course* and then we went to Steak and Shake for over an hour. I swear that I am going to die choking because all we do when we eat is laugh. And of course its impossible to eat, chew, swallow, and laugh all at the same time. I have decided that I need to get a new CD player for my car, mine is just pissing me off. But that will be awhile, until then I can deal... I have this long. I am bored, I am tired of working... yuckies. I want school to start again, but I don't want to go to class, I just want something to do. Does that make sense? Well since I have nothing better to talk about, I will be like others and do a 2003 year in review
January: Started my second semester of college, highly debated on doing music education
February: Big ice storm of 2003 cancelled classes for 2 days, Decided to pledge Sigma Alpha Iota
March: Spent Spring Break playing Morrowind 24 hours a day, well whenever it was my turn
April: Initatied into SAI, AJ broke up with me, Became Recording Secretary for SAI
May: Finals went well, Moved into Nancy's house with my dad, Started working on the SAI website one night during finals week and didn't stop until it was done
June: Met my wonderful friend Adam, officially kissed 10 guys, Started working at Discovery Channel Store (the biggest bs ever)
July: Got back together with AJ, everything seemed too perfect to be true, but wtf, I was happy, spent a lot of time with him, Got an apartment with Meredith
August: Started Sophomore year of college, 2nd year of Marching band: Colors was the show, realized that 8am classes sucked after the first week, very bad idea, got my 98 Malibu
September: Things started getting really rocky with AJ, but I wasn't ready to let go yet, Got a job teaching clarinet at Azle HS, Started working at Kroger, remembered why I hate grocery stores
October: Started teaching every week, broke up with AJ again, decided not to talk to him again until his birthday, Started spending a lot fo time at school with Austin
November: Marching Band ended with a trip to San Antonio, I spent most of time with Jen and Adrienne (we became really close friends), got my cartlige piereced (had been wanting to for awhile)School seriously was kicking my ass, Thanksgiving seemed sooo far away, had to deal with a lot of crap with my mom that is still going on, Started work at Rainforest Cafe, became realloy good friends with Austin, Called AJ about a week after his birthday and finnally got the closure I needed.... I feel much better now and I am happy finnally, Accepted AJs girlfriend in front of him at the Wind Ensemble concert. Thanksgiving was alright,
December: Finals sucked, I learned that sleep is more important than anything else during tests, never stay up the night before a jury, practice with you accompainist more than 30 mins before, Got really sick for a few days, still single, but I am happy. Spent a few days with Nick and it moved really fast and freaked me out, I realized that I am not ready for commitment and anything that comes with that. I would like a boyfriend but I don't need one, and I know when school starts I won't have time for one..... I am happy where I am now hehe
Mood: Happy, from the movie and spending time with Cathleen
Wow it started off slow, but wow.... well goodnight kids!
Goals for 2004
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wow, is my life exciting or what? Its 12:30 and I am at home.. yay me. Well in all honesty, I am exhausted and I don't feel to wonderful so I decided to just stay home. Plus I have to get up at 8 for work in the morning, so I feel like I have good reasons. I open tomorrow, so hopefully I will be off by about 3(ish) and I want to take Austin to dinner with his new boyfriend. I am so happy for him! He deserves someone wonderful :) *kisses to Austin* And Elizabeth works lunch tomorrow too so maybe she'll be able to come with us... yay! Tonight was hellish at work tonight. They gave the kids noise makers and did a balloon drop, so yeah, needless to say I had a horrible headache from all the balloons popping, screaming, and noise makers....never again. I can't wait until summer, everyone whos been there awhile says that summer is crazy mad money, so I am excited. If I stay it will be for that. I start teaching again next week... blah. I miss my kids, but I dont want to drive to Azle! Pooh! So yeah, I don't make "resolutions" because that is just asking to break them, instead I am going to make goals for myself... lets see...
1. No skipping class, unless I have a good reason. Sleep is not a good reason.
2. Homework done ON TIME
3. Start stuff early, no last minute crap
4. Stay organized
5. Clean room once a week
6. Get rid of all debt, make a list and figure out what goes where and when
7. Save money, aka actually use my savings account
8. Don't let checking account get f*cked up, keep book balanced
9. Block out time in my schedule to practice every day and always practice during that time
10. Work as much as possible, without hindering school
11. Don't whine so much
12. When school starts, block out time to work out everday *I say when school starts because I will be living on campus, and it will be easier to get there because right now I work as well*
I can't think of anything else right now, but if I do I will add it.
Until next time HAPPY 20TH AUSTIN.... I LOVE YOU!
Mood: Happy but tired
