It’s been a pretty long day. Robby woke up in one of his moods which in turn put me in one of my moods and as a result we ended up pushing the BBQ out a lot further in the afternoon. It seems though that everyone who was invited seemed to be okay with the time change so we didn’t feel too badly about it. Even still what a crappy way to spend our only day off together. Things seemed to have picked up so here’s hoping tonight is a much better night.
Right now I’m just hanging out until the rest of the people who said they’d show up get here. I know of one for sure who’s going to definitely make it out and Robby’s friend Matt said he would be a little late, but that was 2 hours ago and we haven’t heard from him since, so something tells me he’s not going to show up. Oh well, whatever. This is the second time the boys from work have said they would come and have not showed and this is the last time I take their word that they will. The next time we have something going on, I am just going to assume they can’t make it and won’t plan for them. If they show, oh well, track record indicates your word is not reliable and that’s not my problem. At least we didn’t spend a shit ton on food like we did last time so I’m not as upset about it.
Other then the crappy start of the day, the day didn’t turn out too bad. Obviously it’s still going on and people have yet to arrive, but hey it couldn’t get much worse. Could it?

I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated for some reason, though I’m not sure why. I think it’s sheer frustration that I had done so well on getting out of the funk that had over come me in January and February, that the fact its back just makes me want to scream. I have not been quite this bad before and it’s taking its toll. Usually, I go months before succumbing to the need to re-energize but lately it’s been every few weeks. I think Robby and I just need to go someplace together sometime soon to get out of the house. I don’t mind being a homebody in the least, but I think it’s really starting to effect me and working at home really isn’t helping. I’m going to look at some places to check out in Sedona and plan a weekend getaway with Robby. I think that will help immensely.
So last Monday my class from hell ended and thanks to the help of Robby, I was able to barely pull a B-. When I say barely, I mean barely. 80.3%. I’m grateful though because it means my GPA didn’t tank which I figured it would, after that hell class. In any event I’m glad it’s over and at least one of the classes revolves more around what I’m interested in: image editing. I still have a bit of ways to go to complete my Bachelor’s but I feel like I’m finally making progress, now that I’m getting further into the core of my program. It’s actually very refreshing.
I’ve been watching a lot of shows lately– well, really just marathoning shows I own. I just got done with Bones and now I’m on to Charmed, as I never made it through the entire series. This is also how I know that my funk is coming back. I tend to focus my attention on TV shows and often avoid the internet; so for those who’ve noticed I haven’t been on AIM/MSN/YIM lately or haven’t been as talkative, that’s the reason. It has nothing to do with anyone just that I’m slipping into a funk and trying to get out. In any event, keep talking to me if you can. Even if I’m unresponsive. It will help.
Well I’m off to watch a little more Charmed and working on my homework. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a better day.

So it seems reading the text book and using a real life example to supplement a program (my bead crafting for instance) is helping me to understand the material better. I still have some issues and still have quite a lot of reading to do, but I plan to do that this weekend. Taking notes is also helping me a lot to because it allows me to absorb the text better. I may have to start investing in purchasing books because it’s just too expensive to keep printing out the material. Hopefully I can find cheap used books to make it more cost effective, but we’ll have to see.
Tomorrow is my last day with Robby before he leaves and I’m not happy about it. Today in general was just not a good day as I was mandated to take time off because apparently e-mail no longer needed the help, yet instead of allowing me to switch back to phones they decided it best to just tell me to go home an hour after my shift. This does not bode well. Especially considering the fact that my paycheck is going to look like shit since I took some days off voluntary and then yesterday took the time off because they were mandating and I would have rather just taken the time off myself then be told to. I know it’s weird.. but even still I got 3 hours yesterday which isn’t great, but it’s better then 1 hour. I’m just so frustrated right now. It’s not my fault they overhired for the season but now I’m being punished for it. I started looking on Craigslist for more jobs because this is just not going to cut it. 
I hope I hear something back soon.
As a result I won’t be able to participate in the Secret Santa exchange I had planned on Ecstasy because of this. It just infuriates me and I hate thinking about it. Tomorrow I am going to work my full shift and even they try and mandate me I am going to bitch that I have taken more than enough time off during the past two weeks and they need to mandate someone else. Doubt that will work, but still, I can hope, right?

Today was the first day in the class I’m taking that I wasn’t completely stumped by an assignment. Does this mean I am finally getting it? No. It just means this time they explained it in a manner that I wasn’t thinking what the fuck? Ugh, so not looking forward to the final in the class. I have a feeling I’ll end up in tears just because I’m so freaking frustrated.
Work was a bit better today since I was assigned to work on e-mails which is so much better then being on the phones. I wish I could move to that department permanently but that chances of that are slim to none. I am hoping I’ll be back in e-mail tomorrow, but sometime tells me that won’t be the case since we finished answering all the e-mails today and didn’t get a single new one. Bleh, it blows. I don’t want to go back to being on the phones, lol. Oh well, one can hope, right? 
Alright, I think I’m off to watch Star Trek with Robby. Boo 4 days until he leaves. =(
