.o49 x there is so much shit right now

[karriezai]

There's so much going on. I got my third paycheck today. The job sucks... weeknights are okay since I have to get out by ten and I come in at five, but I worked my first Friday night yesterday and that sucked because I was trying to get out early enough to go stay the night with Danny... and then today I just did not want to go to work at all because I knew I had to be there eight full hours. No breaks or anything.

The money's nice, though. I made almost three hundred between my first two paychecks, which was nice considering my first paycheck was only for a two-day week. And the paycheck I got today was $190. I'm up to $2,000 in my savings account (I've put half of every paycheck in savings since I started working in June). I have $57 in checking and $200 in my second savings account, which I named wishlist because I put money in there to save for things I want to do. Currently I'm saving for prom and Danny and my six month anniversary in May. $200 is already enough for anniversary since my mom's buying the dress both for that and for prom (thank you, Mom), but I'm not sure how much more I'll need for prom. $150 at least for tickets. If I wanna do professional pictures once I get there, it's between about $50 and $110. And that weekend is my birthday. There's no telling if I'll need money for whatever we do then. We're supposed to go to King's Dominion. Danny may well try to pay for it, but he paid for both of us to go skiing on his birthday, so I don't really want him paying for both of us to go to King's Dominion on my birthday. It's enough he'll get to pay for the gas to get there and do the driving and junk, haha. I dunno, though, from what I hear a military ID will get me in free... we'll see.

So yeah. Prom May 4th, same weekend as my birthday. Anniversary May 18th. Six months. I'm planning it and everything. I'm getting two dresses from the Pyramid Collection, one for prom and one for anniversary; the one that looks best on me will be for anniversary, the other for prom. Anniversary is also my last day of school, I believe, which I probably won't go to, haha. So I'll make food for us that day, lunch or whatever. Then we'll go up to Medieval Times in Arundel Mills; I'll get tickets in advance. Then to his house; his parents are out of town that weekend, his mom already told me when I mentioned anniversary. I'll give him his present. He 'gave' me his Batman necklace at Christmastime... more like he put it on me, and in later discussions said it's his, but it looks better on me, so I can wear it as long as I want. Well, I'm gonna get another necklace just like it and get "all my love" engraved on it, and then give it to him. After that, the rest of the weekend will be us doing whatever, I guess. If he wants to make his own plans Saturday and/or Sunday, that's great.

I'm still working on college. Everyone's convinced that I just want to go to Maryland for Danny. Truth is Maryland has been my first choice since before Danny and I ever started dating. It's the school I rushed to make the early deadline for. The other two schools I wouldn't have applied to except I felt I was obligated to have backup schools. Yes, if not for Danny I would settle for Guilford, which is offering me $22,000 a year. But I don't feel guilty for the fact that having Danny here makes me want Maryland even more fiercely. I know it's my first choice with or without him, and should anything happen between us I'll still be happy at the school. Knowing that, what's the harm in pushing to get more money to afford Maryland? The problem will be if I don't get more money to Maryland. Dad has said if I go to Maryland and it ends up being more expensive than Guilford, he won't pay a dime. At the moment, Maryland's looking to be twice as expensive after scholarships. At least to my parents' calculations, but whatever.

I wanna live with Danny. Like... a lot. He's supposed to get an apartment with Arthur over the summer. He was hoping to get a raise first is the thing, and at the moment it looks more like he might be fired, because Brandy's fucking retarded. Still. Yeah. I hope Brandy gets her ass fired first and Rick sees that it was her all along... but eh, wishful thinking. It'll all work out for the best, huh? I still haven't missed a week spending at least one night with him. I've missed a weekend, but not a week -- the one weekend I missed, I'd already stayed over at his house Wednesday night before we went skiing.

God I'm tired. I have to clean the bathroom before I go out with Danny tomorrow afternoon after he gets off work. I have the day off, thank god. If they try to make me work another complete weekend again, I might just quit, haha. I asked for ten to twenty hours, and even with just one weekend day I'm getting 23 or 24. It'd be more if I didn't tell them I can only work four days a week. I'm still in highschool, I can't afford thirty hours a week with no down time on the weekends.

But I've been over that.

At any rate. Raheim at work flirts too much. He gets on my nerves. I'm not interested in him in the slightest, but he doesn't care. Eh. Sharita's fun to work with because she's fun to talk to, but she doesn't have a good work ethic. I don't like her doing the bathrooms because she misses stuff. I don't like working with Nikki, really. I mean, I don't have any real problem with it, she's just my least favorite person to work with. Gwen's great to work with, though. And I miss Adriana being a host, but now she's graduated to serving. Apparently she's not doing so well... but she's such a sweetheart.

I guess that's it. I'm sleepy as hell.

If you really want to go to U of M, then you should certainly try. It is a great school and Division I sports (i.e. Basketball) automatically make it that much better. ;)

Yeah, I'm definitely working on it. I'm working on applying to scholarships... and I'm gonna try to convince Maryland itself to offer me more money. I've heard sometimes it helps just to show them what another school has offered you and say, "I want to go here, but this other school's offering me this, can you match it?" or whatever.
