Wow, I haven't written in a while... I bet Kili's pissed.
Anyway, the Cubs are not doing very well right now, they have lost like 8 of their last 10 or something terrible like that. They went on 6(?) game losing streak but barely lost any ground at all because by the time they actually won a game, they were still up 4 1/2 games on the Brew Crew! (Leslie, being up 4.5 games means that the Cubs are in first place in their division) (and the Brew Crew is the Milwaukee Brewers).
Anyway (again...), Anna and I went down to ISU last weekend which was fun! I loved seeing their dorms and i guess it wasn't too bad seeing them too. Brooke's roommate is pretty cool, I love how she doesn't know how we stop in Stockton because we don't have any stop lights. I think Brooke should bring her back to Stockton sometime, that would just be hilarious I'm sure.
We also went over to U of I to see Leslie, that was fun also. I loved playing Apples to Apples at Bob's frat house. That was fun. I also came over my dislike of Chelsea, I never really knew why I didn't like her that much, it was probably because she always seems to be really fake, but that's just not it. She's actually pretty cool. OH! Over the weekend I had Coldstone...twice!!! It was so fattening...but sooooo good. Man, I love that place!! While I was at these schools and in my friends' dorms it made me really feel like I was missing out on the real college experience... sad. It was really sad for me, I wished I had gone to a bigger school. I even texted my mom while I was there saying that I feel like I'm missing out. She said that I should finish the year at Highland then we can look at option. I love her for that but I know they/I can't afford for me to go to a 4 yr university for 3 yrs... and it's not like I hate Highland, I don't, I actually really like it. It just isnt the same. Oh well, I will live and hopefully ball it up this year!!!
Right now I'm working at Highland, well not really working because I dont do anything. I went home a couple days this week and turns out that was a BAD idea because there is a bug going around the high school that my sister caught...and now I have it...great. Kill me. Also, I have already taken TWO calc tests, wtf?! Um...I just wrote an essay for English. Surprisingly I think its actually good. I hope my grade shows that... :) um... I guess that's all she wrote.
Go Cubs!

My "Job" at Highland
So right now I'm at "work." I'm actually just sitting at a computer in an empty computer lab searching the net and reading for my West. Civ. class. There isn't a whole lot to do here; I'm supposed to help students with any problems they may have, which means basically helping them log in on the computers and log in on their Highland stuff.
To tell you the truth, I really have no idea what to do or how to help someone, but I have a feeling I will probably just wing it like I always do... :)
Hopefully no one asks a really hard question...
If any of my Highland friends read this, you should stop at the lab when I'm working so I have someone to talk to. Plus, it's quieter than the library in here... We could definetely get some homework done later in the semester, when we actually have homework... :)

Celebrate. Celebrate. Come On & Celebrate!
Turns out the day DID did get better, my gramma just told me she's getting married!!!!
Her first husband passed away when I was in 4th grade and this guy, Wayne, who she's been with for like a year or two was her high school sweet heart, or something, but they weren't allowed to get married because it would have been a mixed marriage...but not between races (as I would think most people would think), it was a mixed marriage between religion. She was a lutheran and he was a catholic; therefore their parents wouldn't allow them to be married and they were forced to break up. Somehow, several years down the road, after both of them had a grown family (with several grandchildren) and both their sposes had passed away, they found each other. It seems like they didnt miss anything between them, like they picked up just as if they were never apart! Although I am more than happy for both of them, this makes me think about a few things...
1. If they seem to love each other so much after all these years, did they ever really love their sposes? Did my gramma ever really love my grandpa? He passed away when I was so young that I don't know what their relationship was like... I'm assuming that they did love their sposes but not as much as they loved each other...but I guess I really don't know...
2. They plan to get married after the new year (for tax purposes) but I think gramma would move out as soon as the house sells. No one knows when or if the house will sell, so all that is up in the air. Obviously, if gramma moves out, so do I... that means I would have to move back home and either spend gas money coming to and from Freeport everyday, or try to find an apartment to move into! I really don't know what to do and there isn't anything we can do until the house is sold. Gramma says that houses around here are not selling very well, there are probably about ten houses for sale right now in this development. However, I have a feeling gramma will do everything she can to sell this house... But what does that mean for her loving grandaughter...?
3. What will happen at Christmas? Will the whole family go to her "new" (Wayne's) house? That would be wierd... I don't really know Wayne...
4. What is Wayne's family to me? Considering he would be like my step-grandpa, does that mean that his children and grandchildren are my step-aunts and uncles and step-cousins?
5. Gramma just told me she's going to bed...its 7:41! WTF?!
6. Ok, so 5 doesnt really have anything to do with this...and I guess that means either does 6... whatev
:)

1 School Day Done
Ok, so I was WAY more nervous than I should have been.
Highland is a breeze. I'm not worried at all. I'm really glad the first day is done. Although, tomorrow I have to go in to work at HCC in the computer lab at 8! I don't know about you, but that is WAY too early for me, this means I have to wake up at like 7 or EARLIER!! AH!
I will suck it up though because all I have to do when I get there is sit at a desk and help people log in, but my boss says they don't get a lot of people coming in anymore so there is a lot of time to do homework, so that is AWESOME. I'm really excited about it. YAY.
I have two classes where I don't know anyone: Rhetoric & Composition I and Calculus I.
Great.
Anyway, so the first day was awesome and that's good. The Cubs don't play today so I guess the day can't get any better ;)
Go Cubs!

School in minutes
I have class at 9:00 and it's 8:14 now.
I'm dressed and ready, I think. Gramma woke me up at 7 when I told her last night I didn't need to be up till 8...and I could wake myself up; however, Gramma woke me up anyway and said that she had oatmeal waiting for me so how could i refuse. Damn that gramma...she's good. :)
I'm just trying to get rid of all of my jitters that are inside me right now, trying to just calm down, I really dont think it's working, crap.

School Tomorrow, wtf
Ok, so here's the living situation for this fall, well all I know so far, it could change easily.
I am planning to live with my gramma who lives in freeport already so that will be really handy; I have already moved most of my stuff in (which is only clothes and a few pictures). Today my mom took me to Wal-Mart to get me other stuff I will need (toiletries and food so that I dont impose too much on my gramma). I hope that the bed i sleep in will be comfy enough to allow me to sleep happily at night and not make me wish i was at home. I have a feeling I will be homesick (which is completely pathetic because I am only 30 mins away and I know that a lot of my friends are hours away from theirs, but I cant help it)
I cannot believe I am starting a new chapter in my life, college. How did I get here. Oh wow, do I miss high school already. I already miss my friends who have known me since birth, I am definetely going to miss my small town atmosphere. Ok stop talking about this, Sam. You are only going to get more upset...just stop. Ok. Stopped
I am scared about tomorrow, I don't know where my classes are; I only know what buildings they are in, which my mom says is all i need to know because it is so small but that really doesnt help. I just hope I dont make a fool of myself looking for classes.
However
I am excited to be able to start over, be the person I beileve I can be. I have a fresh start, maybe this time I won't screw it up and cause people to hate me. Wow, that sucks, being hated i mean. Not gonna think about it though....not thinking about it. Good. Good job.
Well i guess i still have stuff to pack and my mom...well my siblings' mom...is making lasagna tonight at 7 which mean i have to pack everything in an hour so that i will be ready to leave after i eat.
Promise i will explain later about my confusing family, although most of you who read this already know whats up, but i really just like to talk about it :)
Soooo glad the Cubs won...
