Woot.

Okay so...

Me and TOUPS are friends again! THis makes me happy because I was starting to think this was going to be the most lonely summer ever. To commemorate our found again friendship we had a photo shoot. The pictures turned out really good!

In other news, I am getting into the comfortable stage of working at J. Crew. I mean, it's definitely not perfect and I still screw up A LOT but I seem to be getting along with my coworkers pretty well. However, today was most certainly a BAD day. But going to Northpark seemed to fix everything. I bought a friggen awesome straw fedora and an even cooler grey vest. I seem to be putting all the money I earn from J. Crew back into the system. Oh well.

Le pire, c'est que personne ne s'en soucie.

So. It's been awhile. I would love to say that I have been too busy to stay in sync with this blog. However, I really have been everything BUT busy. I don't know why I haven't stopped to blog...it probably has something to do with the fact that I have absolutely nothing to blog about. Every year, right before summer, I get so excited! The movie reel in my head shows nothing but moments of happiness and laughter among friends. This hasn't happened.

What I do is simple. I work. This would be an okay situation if my job offered me a decent amount of hours. The worst part of it is that I have these random weeks jam packed full of working...just enough to lull me into a false sense of security of thinking that all my weeks will be like this. Of course, the weeks after are always accompanied with a daunting 8 hours of work.

The lack of work would be fine, if I had something (anything) to do instead.

URGHNESS...I thought that this week was going to be absolutely perfect. 

I thought the clouds would open up and God would be smiling down upon me.

Insteadz. It seems as though this is the most frustrating week of the year.

1. J.Crew. Why must you only give me four hours of work this week? Its just rude. Let me come in on my ON CALL! I mean just give me that. Would it really be that hard? I don't believe it would have been. I swear. If my hours get cut tomorrow on the day that I am ACTUALLY scheduled to work I will have to blow up the entire store with my telekinetic feats of strength. 

2. School. Why must the teachers be so exponentially bitchier on the last week? I mean even the principals are being little beeATCHES. Officially sick of it. Last day is Thursday...BUT i don't go into school until then so its not so bad i guess.

3. Rehearsal. I understand that PCA is out of school and the leaders of our church want to give them as little time to rebel as possible, but I"M still in school. I'm sorry but I can't make it to your 1 o' clock rehearsal because I am still emotionally dealing with being babysat at Frisco High. Pisses me right off...

OTHER THAN THAT...everything is FRIGGIN PEACHY!!!!

Your welcome for the random pictures that have nothing to do with anything.

Secret Wash

I don't believe I have updated ALL my fans on my J. Crew status. I GOT THE JOB! I'm so excited to be a J. Crew Sales Associate. I have to say the most exciting part of my job is walking around the store with my intense fitting room key. I also love dressing in really good clothes that make me look ten times skinnier than I actually am.

The only downfall to my job is that everyone that works there has already been friends for soooo long. They talk about their lives and their inside jokes while I fold t-shirts and smile at their passing words. Also, I am still in that time period where I am trying to impress them so I am afraid to show them my true self. Instead of being crazy and fun, I am constantly trying to do a good job and be serious. Also, some of the jokes that I tell seem to go either unheard or unnapreciated. Hopefully it gets better.

Frustrated and Administrated

I am a Yearbook nerd. It has been proven by all the emotions that come out of being in yearbook. If I were not a nerd, I would be ultimately unaffected by the yearbook class.

The first frustration is the SOPHOMORES! They just sit their and pretend to do work the entire class period. At least when I don't have something to do I dont trick Marsh into thinking that I do. I might just have to run over to sophomore row and pull their brains out through their nostrils. Fun.

My second frustration is MARSH! As mentioned earlier, the sophomores just sit at their computers surfing the Internet all day. When I am caught surfing the Internet I have commited an eternal crime that I will never be forgiven for. When THEY are caught surfing the Internet, Marsh decides that it is time for her to join in on this Internet adventure. Also, I don't much appreciate being hovered over. Especially when the hoverer is smacking their chips in your right ear. Infuriating.

My final frustration is simply BOREDOM! I have absolutely nothing left to do in this class. My job title is Photo Editor. I assign photographers to take pictures of things. So what do I do when there is nothing left to take pictures of? This:

"I'm a geenie in a bottle"

Hmmm. Nope. I'm pretty sure that this day was quite boring. The only slightly exciting thing that happened today was I recieved an honor rope to wear over my graduation gown. Matched with the blood colored cord that I will recieve ( I hate that my iPhone thinks I mean recurve when I say recieve) for giving blood I will be all primary colored out. The only reason why that was exciting is because it signals how close graduation really is.

To be fair though, it's hard to get excited about anything today when I am so excited about training at J. Crew tomorrow. My mom seems to be excited as well. Yesterday evening we traveled to Willowbend mall to pick out three new outfits for me to work in. I hope they will let me work this Saturday.

Proof that the school year is pretty much over:










Even Marsh has begun to give up on us doing actual work in class. Huzzah!

For realz???

So I'm laying in bed and I can absolutely not fathom that Graduation is a mere three weeks away. I can't believe we made it. All of us. We did so good by just reaching this epic moment in our lives. We all deserve our own speeches at the ceremony in which we thank God, our publishers, and our families. I'm so proud of us, mainly just me , Toups, Riggs, and Connor. Congratulations to Toups for being strong enough to go all the way to Louisiana for her college educations. You don't need to "grow a pair" because it already takes a lot of gonads to go on your own college adventure with no friends to guide you. Congratulations to Riggs for being just outgoing enough to apply to college. Everyone knows you can get into any college you want, but I think we were all a little bit scared that you wouldn't put out the effort to apply. Congratulations to Connor for getting into the Business school at UT...seriously you're a beast for that. Oh and congrats on not being truant too. And finally, congratulations to me for having enough courage to follow photography to OU. And congrats to me for finding such awesome friends to carry me through senior year. It's been great. I want to trick myself into thinking we will be together forever...I hope we will still be close. I miss us already.
