A case of the Mondays

I've got a terrible headache and Sociology at 2. I just don't feel like today is going to be a good day. I'm counting down until 3:15 when class is over and I can take some Advil and a nap. Monday is kicking my butt.

Saturday

Today I woke up at about 7 to go work for Habitat for Humanity. I had a really good time and I plan on helping out again. It was fun! I helped clean out the inside of one of the in-progress houses. It was mostly a bunch of sweeping. I even have a blister on my thumb from the broom!

Anyway, that's my day so far. I'm coming to Thomasville to babysit for Ben and Chad Thomas. I'm excited about that. I love those boys! I'll be keeping them until around 11, so I don't know if I'll have time to see anyone. I'll stay the night, though, so I'll try to come by and see Daddy, Grandma and Grandaddy, and Nana and Poppy.

Well, I'm going to take a nap so that I don't fall asleep on the job! Love you all!

BREAKING NEWS!

I MADE A 93 ON MY PSYCHOLOGY TEST!

Day 2 on the Blogger

Hello again!

So far I know that Mom and Grandma both have the link for this blog. Nana and Poppy I'm not sure about, but I'm going to double-check after I write this entry. Right now I'm just sitting in my room. I've got to leave for class in about 15 minutes, so there's not too much of anything to do right now. I figured it was a good time for an update! I'm so glad that the week is almost over. It's definitely been a busy one, and I hardly knew what to do with myself! As it is, I've still got a little ways to go. I've got to read three "short" (hardly!) stories for English class tomorrow, but you guys know me, I'm a bookworm. It probably won't take more than an hour.

I had class this morning at 8, so I got up at 7 to take a shower. It was so hard to get out of the bed! Emily woke me up at about 3:50 a.m. talking in her sleep. I say talking, but it was more like yelling! She was shouting, "4! 3! 2! 1!!!!! ARE YOU READY? WE HAVE TO GO NOW! TAKE OFF!!!!!" There's just no telling. I talk in my sleep, too. Emily told me that yesterday morning as she was getting ready for her teaching practicum at 6:30 that morning, she was talking to me about it, and I was replying... But not with conventional answers! She said, "You know, I think my teacher would be nicer if she had a boyfriend." And I replied, "Yeah, she's got all the men..." It's funny to think that we both talk in our sleep. Our friend came to stay with us for a couple days, and she said we kept waking her up in the middle of the night. Apparently, Emily and I have conversations in our sleep! I wonder what we say!

Anywho, it's getting about time to leave for class, so I'll wrap this up. I love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Send me some mail! :o)

First blog

Welcome y'all! :)

I decided to copy Josh (Hinckley) and make one of these journals for my family. Yup, that's you, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Nana, Poppy, Granddaddy, or whoever else wants to keep updated on what's going on over here. I probably will forget to update it every day, but I'll try to keep it posted with all the important stuff. I think that there's a button to click somewhere on the page that allows you to leave comments after you read the post, so feel free to do that!

I woke up at 9:30 today, and I absolutely cannot get my hair to lay flat. It's got so much volume that Farrah Fawcett would be jealous. That aside, I still really like the cut, and the color has gotten so many compliments. Thanks, Mom!

Today I have two classes, English and Sociology. I really like English but Sociology is not my favorite. The professor is nice and all, but I find it very hard to pay attention in that class. I better work on that, since we have a test on Monday (maybe on Wednesday?). Hooray, I've got some studying to do!

The job hunt still hasn't gotten very far, but I am calling and applying at The Children's Place today. It's a fashionable clothing store for kids. I think it'd be fun to work there. I also want to apply at Bath and Body Works. Yesterday, Emily landed a job at Wild Adventures. She'll be working in "Customer Service," which I take to mean that she'll be making those ID cards for people or maybe selling tickets. At least she's not cleaning toilets! I'm not thrilled with having to drive over to Valdosta to work, but Mom made the point that if I can schedule long days instead of shorter ones, it won't be as bad. That way, I can get in a good chunk of work with less driving. Anywho, wish me luck!

I guess that's about all I know for now, but start checking this daily for updates! I'll try to post entries by 5 p.m. so if you check after that time, there will probably be something new up here. No promises, though! I'm a busy girl!

I love you all,
Dixie Jean
