I have finally finished preparations to start school this fall. I will be attending University of Phoenix where I will be working towards my Associate of Arts in Information Technology/Networking degree online. I start classes August 20th. It is exciting and I can not wait to get this part of school over with. After this I am not sure if I am going to continue at Phoenix for my Bachelors or if I will go to another school to continue. That is a few years away so I have time to get that part in order.
I have obviously been slacking about updating this since last week, so I thought I would give a short update on what is going on in my world.
I finally have gotten all of my stuff from Kalamazoo yesterday. I am very excited that is over now. Hopefully I won’t be moving it again for a very long time. Now all I have to do is get my room arranged and put all my crap away so that It’s not just in the middle of my floor.
Today I start my new work schedule. I will be working 4pm-12am with Monday and Tuesday off. I am not sure how I am going to like this, but I really have no choice in the matter. Hopefully it will be ok and I can still have a social life.
That is about all thats going on really. Just hanging out with my roommate most of the time trying to make new friends in the process. I have a few friends coming to MSU this fall so I will get to see them and hang out with them, which will be very exciting. I obviously miss all of my friends from Kalamazoo. Especially the random outings to Metro, the mall, or just out to eat on pay days. Soon, I should be able to afford to go down and hang out with them again. I will definitely have to plan something with them.
The concert on Tuesday went very well. On the way down to Hillsdale we realized that neither Kyle, Colleen or myself knew where Stocks Park was. So between calling my friend Amiee and a few other band members we were able to figure out how to get there. When we got there we went through our usual concert rehearsal, playing through only what needs last minute touch ups. The concert was fun, with the occasional joke about how long worded our director is with the program notes. After the concert we went to the Hunt Club as we usually do after band events. It was really fun. My friend Aimee was able to at least make the last song of the concert and hang out with us at the Hunt Club. I haven’t seen her for ever, I think since the end of the 2006 Cedar Point season. It was nice to be able to catch up on things. Kyle decided to go back to Concord with Morgan and Chris for the night. So Colleen and I headed back to East Lansing. On the way back we had a really great conversation about life and the things that happen and why and what we can do to get over them and make things better. Overall it has been an AMAZING night!
I love all ya Wind Symphony players!
As the title of this post suggests I did not get much sleep last night at all. At first I had a hard time falling asleep. I think it is because of my messed up sleep schedule at the moment. After I did get to sleep, I kept having this dream about Andrew (my ex).
It was a mixed up dream. It took place at Cedar Point mostly. It was a cross between the first time Andrew and I were there and the 2nd time. I think the dream showed more of how I wanted things to turn out instead of how they actually did. It was like we were back at Cedar Point trying to regain the connection that we felt so strongly when we first met, but has since died. It was mixed up with some adventure which I don’t quite understand how or where it came from. It completely had nothing to do with Andrew and I. At one point through the added adventure we were running around the park finding places to hide in ride areas to talk or something. It was rather mixed up. As the dream went on and our adventures continued, it seemed that we were able to rebuild the connection we lost in real life. Although, in the dream he kept pushing it away. Keep in mind that I was waking up periodically through this and it is very broken and dosn’t quite make sense. Of course I know that all of this was not real and that Andrew and I will never get back together. I do think it shows how I still fell inside and might be why I am still having some trouble getting over it.
I understand everything that has happened in real life. I don’t quite know all of the reasons because not even Andrew was able to give reasons for everything. But, I know what must be done for me to move on and I am working on doing it. It is a work in progress that will take some time, but I know I can do it.
I would also like to thank all of my friends who have supported me through this rough transition (meeting Andrew, moving to Lansing, the break up, etc…). I don’t know what I would do without all of my amazing friends!
It’s 2:10am and I have to be to work at 11am. Although I am not tired at all. I stayed up way to late last night and messed up my sleep schedule. It seems to be preparing me for my 2nd shift change. Unfortunately there Isn’t much to do in the world at 2am. So I am awake, and bored in the middle of the night with nothing better to do than to blog about it. Lansing needs a night life or I need to find some nocturnal friends, one or the other (or maybe both).
