It's Snowing Here!

All right, so what have I been up to since I got back from Chicago? Well let's see. Not a lot, actually. Pretty typical week. I had an exciting weekend though.

On Friday I went to Wabasha to go say hello to a few friends of mine. It was their Homecoming weekend (pics on Facebook). I went and watched their parade. It was about as exciting as parades get (which, in my case, is actually pretty exciting. I like parades.) Then I went to the marching band's afterparty. It was fun, but a little awkward because 1.) I'm not in their marching band and 2.) I don't even go to their school. I did kick butt at Scrabble though. Thank you "unzip" on triple word score!

Then I watched the game. They had amazing apple cider. I mean, it was only like 4-5 ounces for a dollar, but it was really tasty. And I felt compelled to buy some W-K wear. I'm not sure why. I mean, I'm not in high school anymore, and I live nowhere near Wabasha, so... that would be weird. But it was so pretty, and red, and I don't wear much red since I graduated anymore... But I didn't buy anything. Even though the scarves looked pretty tempting.

(For the record, football fans, W-K lost their game. What a shame. Also, football fans, who won the JM-Century game? I never did find out...)

I got to see some friends in Wabasha that I hadn't seen in a while. And I met some new friends. Which was nice. Now I feel like I know the majority of the W-K high school, haha. All 12 of them. XD I'm just kidding. But I do feel like I know a lot of people from there...

And they're all so young! I keep forgetting my friend Geoff is only a junior. Yeesh. I feel so old. =/ I turn 19 in like 2 months! Srsly. I'm almost done being a teenager. Wow.



Anyway, on Saturday, the marching band performed at Chippewa Falls. Funny story about that. I had skipped band practice to go to Wabasha because band had been cut short already anyway, so I'm like, "Screw it. I'll just leave early." And because of that I didn't get to perform at Chippewa.

Am I sad about this? Not at all. It was snowing during the performance. The guard uniforms are tank tops. Screw that. I have no regrets. Besides, I was spending time with some nice people, so it was time well spent. PLUS I got to WATCH the band (and not on Youtube!) for once, and it was really cool. I never get to see what happens in the front. So it really was a win-win situation, in my opinion.



And now my boyfriend is in Eau Claire for a college visit. I was having a coffee at the cafe in the student center, and I saw all the high school kids touring, but... I did not see him. Sketchy. *shrug* Oh well.

I also realized that uhh... my expenses are outweighing my income. Time for Lacey to pick up some new shifts at work... but I kind of really hate my job. Okay, I don't REALLY hate it, but... I don't enjoy it. At all, really. I miss the library. I hope they hire me back for winter break. I made good money there, and I knew how to do everything, and I can work in ILL and... *sigh* I really should just freaking major in library science. But then, it's stupid that I need a degree for work that I more or less could just get trained in and figure it out.

Speaking of that, I think it's hilarious that people need 4-year degrees to work with handicapped children in public schools. My grandma did that for years, and she didn't even graduate high school. Oh, times have changed...



Registration for spring is in a little over a month (for me anyway). Time to meet with my advisor and tell him, "... I'm having a quarterlife crisis. I am having second thoughts about majoring in business. But now I don't know what I want to do." I think I'll just keep it for now because I can't think of anything better to do, but I don't think I want to do human resources anymore. I just... I can't do it. I can't be that serious at my job. I just can't.

But... you know... now what.

I'm planning on taking fun classes next semester. I mean, sure I'll have a few crap classes like math and macroecon, but you know what, I am going to take some stuff that has nothing to do with my current major and attempt to enjoy education. I'm just really bummed that they don't have a class specifically for Freudian psychology. What a shame it's "outdated". I love it. =/



I had a midterm today. Pretty sure I at least got a B. There were a few that I didn't know, but... I feel confident. Oh yeah, I got my degree audit the other day. I am in "good academic standing". Hooray.

I'm gonna go eat a sandwich and then go to class. Ciao, readers!
