Back Home

So for Christmas I flew to Texas to see my family, which was great fun. I sang in church, went to Which Wich and this store called Sam Moon. (don't send me in there with money, i will buy something completely useless because it was entertaining me at the current moment) Kim flew home a few days early. And then just spent the week with the family. Christmas was fun, we all fell asleep on the family room floor after presents. Then came flying home, i managed to get an earlier flight (and buy earlier i mean i got home earlier because i didn't have to layover in Vegas) then Mike, being the amazing wonderful friend he is picked me up from the airport to give me a ride home and swung by my grandmas on the way so i could pick up my guitar that i got for Christmas. Then we went by work to pick up paychecks and get our schedules, then i went to his place and played with him and his roommates the rest if the night. Loving being home. Don't get me wrong, i loved seeing my family again, but Logan is home and I'm loving not have to worry about classes and just playing with friends. I was introduced to the show community, so funny.
The fact that Mike and Justin let me come play is wonderful because there is really not a lot of other people back in Logan yet. And really no one in my building. So i have somewhere to go for human contact. So last night i went over hopong that we were going to start our supernatural-a-thon, and I got to see Justin with Dayna (his friend who is a girl, that they have decided they have mutual interest in each other and are both interested in pursuing a relationship but they aren't official yet.) THEY ARE SO STINKING CUTE TOGETHER!! it is so much fun to watch Justins face when he is looking at her because his eyes just light up and he has a little smile dancing around his mouth. And basically they are just so cute together and i am very very very happy for both of them.
Then later Chris and Rylee pop up out of no where and they are so cute together. and basically everyone around me is starting to be in relationships and they are all so cute together, and i'm happy for them. it just sucks sometimes when you are always the single friend. But whatever, i'm still happy for them. :) And basically as much as i miss my family, I love being home again.

Finals Week

I really don't remember my brain every being as mushified as it was Wednesday night. (Yes, mushified is a word) Especially after my jury. Wednesday I had my US history final, my voice Jury and a piano recital. Did i really study for history? ...no...not really. But i survived jury, which made me very happy and they even picked the song i wanted them to pick. How lucky can you get?
But i seriously can't remember a time in my life where i couldn't think like i couldn't Wednesday. After my recital me and Megan went over to Mike and Justin's. We made bacon and hash browns (yeah, the low-carb diet i just got put on kinda got shot that night.) and watched supernatural and then talked and laughed, it was great fun. It was the one day i had off this week.
Basically i'm really excited to go home tomorrow. (i know i'm really rambly, but i'm honestly just killing time before i head to my next final. THE FINAL FINAL!!!!) (I"m also on a keyboard i'm not use to, so forgive my excessive typos.)
I also loved work last night. I worked with Julie, which doesn't happen very often anymore. And we were slow enough i didn't want to kill myself and busy enough that i didn't want to kill myself. The only annoying thing is that i was on present for five hours. I just get sick of the beep after the first hour or so. And stupid customers...but they can't be helped. Your working with the general public.
Sorry my blog is rambly and pointless today...i just haven't had any profound breakthroughs that I've felt a need to blog about, I've been terrible at writing in my journal too. Basically I don't have much to say right now. I'll come up with something better later.

Employee of the Month.

Yeah...thats me for December. It weird, and they won't let me turn the plaque around when i'm on counter. I think its weird having my picture right there. I mean i'm flattered, and I'm glad to know i'm a good worker. The first day all the rest of the managers found out a lot of them were so happy and thrilled and telling me that they know that i deserve it. Its flattering but weird.
Its interesting, i've been there almost seven months now. I'm a veteran. I worked in grill last night for one of the first times. I like it back there. I don't have annoying beeps in my ear. But i've decided running is my favorite position. and I'm good at it. Well, i try to be at least. But i've discovered they are tending to put me places where they need things to speed up. If OT fries is behind on fries, i get there spot. If present is behind i get put on present. If hole is slow i get thwon back in the hole (although, they don't put me back there very often anymore. Which is usually nice, especially in the cold winter.) And now i'm also starting to train people on counter a lot...although i think the reason they like me training people on counter is i show them a few orders, and where stuff is and let them see me do a few and then i make them take orders within the first ten-fifteen minutes they are on counter. But the only way you learn is by just doing it.
And thats my story.
