I failed!

Well I forgot yesterday. However, in my defense I was studying for my final. So I shall blog twice this month. 

 Friendships and walks
Today after my final  I went to breakfast with a few friends it was quite wonderful. We hadn't seen each other in a while so I was very happy. 

Due to the lovely weather outside we went on a walk around the college town. Its a cute little area. Its so silly I went to school for four years and I had not  once had I ever walked the streets of the town till now. A little late since I will be graduating but I finally saw some great areas of town that I had never knew to exist. Oh and uh did you know there is a Radio Station in Willi?! Crazy. Got to go on a tour of the studio. It was great! I wanted to touch the control buttons so badly!  :)

The best part was talking with my friends and learning that one of my girlfriends like me LOVES ANIME!! I just recently watched Yu Yu Hakusho Definielty one of my favorites! I recommend this show to everyone! 

I shall post a picture later of the beautiful bridge we walked under with a lovely written message on it for someone special. 

Till tomorrow!

The Great Escape

So yesterday I had to give blood. :( Hate getting pricked.

Anyway as I was greeted by the Phlebotomist she seemed very unfriendly. I was a bit caught off guard by this interaction. The last lady I had was very friendly and warm. She however, seemed cold.

While she guided me into the blood room I tried to make small talk and she would give me one word answers with no eye contact. Naturally I just thought she must hate her job. Typically behavior.
I tried to lighten the mood by saying at least its Friday. It was then she let her guard down.  Saying "yes its over. I know it sounds crazy but I wish I was working or doing something." clearly indicating she was having a rough day and very down. She said she wish she could just be far away. As do we all.

She lighten up a lot and we talked for a little about how nice it would be. Than I asked where she would go she replied " Puerto Rico." Seemed very down about the inability to go.

As she was drawing my blood she said warmed me she was very emotional and she felt she was about to cry as her eyes started to water. I felt terrible and at fault but she said it was over the idea of  Puerto Rico. After which she opened up to me and said she was going through a bad break up and was having a difficult time with it considering it happen that day. I really felt for her. I having been going through issue as well with breaking up. It really saddened me to see her struggle and know the pain she was going through.
Once we were done I hoped her well and went on my way.

As the day went on I continue to think of her, I desired to bring her flowers or cookies.

But I also couldn't help but think of our talk about Escaping life in our troubled times. In those moments where nothing seems right and all you want to is leave everything behind and start fresh. Lately, I have been having these thought a lot. It also doesn't help that I have never been anywhere but here and I'm about to graduate college and I have no direction.

I always think of my options. I have family here maybe I could go there. Or I would love to study aboard go somewhere outside of the country. Lastly, I think about applying for jobs in other areas where my Dream job is located. However, that one is totally far from happening anytime soon. No money, No place to live, Nothing.

I guess the point I am drawing is there always seems to be that feeling of just wanting to drop everything in hard times to just escape the reality of our lives.

We all have the thought, feeling, urge, and Fantasy.

Where would you go? Where would you Escape to?

CT Weather

So basically anyone who lives in new england knows we have crazy weather and today is one of those days!
4AM wake up to scary winds and down poor. My dear Michael has to work this morning in it.
5AM home and its still raining but its crazy hot in my room! But I'm wet so its a mix of cold and hot. By the way after having 10 below temperature it was a relief to see 66 degrees today.
6:40 and its lightly raining. still warm and nice to not be totally bundled up
8AM and the sun is shining threw the clouds with little rain. I think the sun wants to come out!
This photo is from 8:30AM and it is getting to be absolutely beautiful out!
Well its 8:51 and warmth is in the air. I'm loving it! :)
Please keep it up mister golden sun! Please shine down on me.

UnEventful Day

Today was a very uninteresting day. 

I woke up at 4:00 AM Drove Michael to work. Went home went back to sleep than drove to class at 8:30.

I was late again. I am such a tardy person.  I seriously have no idea how to be on time for anything. I set all my clocks 20 or so minutes late and I am still late. I see it as oh I still I have extra time. It is kind of backwards for me, doesn’t work but I will never change it to regular time. I will just confuse myself and be even later. Oh well.

Anyway, So I drove my tired butt to class. It’s a half hour drive but sometimes shorter on a good day. But today I was stuck behind a Mini Van. I am sorry if you are a minivan owner but, really do you always have to give yourselves a bad name by driving so slowww!! I can’t handle it sometimes. And to make it even worse my favorite ratio Station now goes fussy on the ride because it is woodys and mounty. It is awful. I really wouldn’t mind as much being late because I get more radio time but due to the place I get nothing but fuss. It really ruins my morning drive that I soo looked forward to my long drive before.

Shout out to THE ELVIS DURAN AND THE MORNING SHOW!!!! I love you guys!

So yes I was late to class. I love driving a total of an hour for a 50 minute class. But hey it’s my last class ever!! YAY!!! GOODBYE COLLEGE!!

So yes than I came home watched The LAKE HOUSE! Ohmigosh I forgot how wonderful that movie was. So sweet! I want to write love letters! I’m working on it with Michael now. I have been trying to start love letters with him for a while now. It is a work in progress.

Than it was 1:30 and time to meet with Michael and help him out at work! Wonderful times with him outside in the cold helping him. So many lovely moments we share while working together. I’m the stalk girl. I put the drinks away; keep up with the chips and yummy sugary snacks. So hard to not eat everything in sight!

Then, we came home and took a sweet warm nap together. I love winter naps after a cool day. Michael is such a warm person. I love having a personal heater with me at all times.

After our cat nap he went off and I went to write up my notes from class and now here I am. Sitting on the couch writing to you wonderful bloggers out there

My Kitty is coming over! She is my favorite!
Tomorrow I'm going to write something really good. thoughts I've been really into wanting to share.

Breaking Down in a Catering Truck

 
Today was a good day.
It started rocky but it was all really enjoyable given the circumstance.
I spent the morning with my Ike and his sister.
My Ike works as a catering truck driver going around feeding local businesses.
He is working yet I go along for the ride and support. Hey I have nothing else to do might has well.
His sister was with us. Yes three people crammed in the truck. Pretty great and warm for this cold weather we are currently having.
So begins our day to feed the people.
However, we get into the truck and this is what we hear from Ike
Boy: Today is going to be a bad day. I bad bad day.
Girl (me): why??
Boy: reads aloud the red light "Battery not charging. Battery not charging"
So there began our half hour drive in a truck with a battery not charging.
This drive was actually really funny considering we broke down.
We had a battery pack that refused to charge the car.
So basically I figured out it was the alternator no charge typically means alternator is messed up. I've had three fails on me over the years.
So while driving I tell him go to the left lane.
Being man doesn't.
Truck fails. And we have to move over without a signal in a truck with no back window
Gosh that was fun
So yeah we sit there and then help comes and fixes the problem.
We were so late. But it was great. Everything was handled really well and there was NO freaking out!
Honestly, I was very pleased.
Two hours later we are back on track and things went well.
Got to spend time with my almost sister and spend time with my love.
Good day today.
Now after being up since 3AM I Can't wait for bed!
