17. Limbo

Well I do not really know on where to start with this post. I haven't posted in awhile because I was busy with school and work and only had time to sporadically post. But now, I only have school to worry about because I have been laid off from work (three weeks ago I was told I was being let go, but they gave me to October 10th.) and if I was still working, I would be working on my Rock Music History right now so I can do the quiz and midterm before tomorrow because work would take up much of the day, but as you see, I do not have work anymore. Work was a love-hate relationship honestly. I mean, I loved working there. The people where great and it was a unique job for me to do that was out of the norm for people our age, plus it paid well. The hate part came from doing certain tasks at work like the doggie stations; nobody likes to drive around with trash bags full of dog crap around. The good thing is that everybody at worked liked me and they want me to come to the next apartment social this Tuesday and they even let me keep my gate key for once I am able to drive that I can go to the fitness center and work out. Atleast I get one more check and it should be a good one!

I know there are plenty of positives to being out of a job. The main one is that I can focus fully on school and I really need to considering my GPA at the end of last year was not great at all. I remember my senior year of high school that in the semester that I had my temporary job for the Halloween time that I had straight A's and the next semester it was A's and B's, the best best academic year I ever had! Then I got a job, tried working four out of the five days and going to class full time and I had a pretty crappy year. Another positive is that I can sleep in more and stay up later and have more time with my friends. I believe that with no more money flow from the job, that I will not do midnight bolwing as much as I use to.

Finally, I think I am starting to not like being home alone for weekends. The reason being that I can't really do much here and I am not the one to take advantage of my parents by having a massive party. I did have a friend over who I haven't hung out with in a long time and I did go have dinner at the Tangerine Cafe so I could get out of the house, but other than that, I haven't done much. If I only could drive, then I would be golden!

Speaking of cars, congratulations to my mom as she just won a 2008 Mustang! She won a prize to go to Lowe's Motor Speedway with one other person (my father of course) and watch the Nationwide Series race, the Sprint Cup race, some other things fans couldn't do, a lap around the track with Carl Edwards, and at the end of everything was a chance to win a Mustang. In order for her to win it, she had to have the right key in order to start up the car, and she was the one with the key!

Ok, so I thought I didn't have much to write about and I guess I did. Let's see how long it takes to make a another post.
