fall is in the air

This past week has been the most beautiful week of the last two years of my life- weather wise. Fall is creeping up on us! The humidty has been low which has made it not seem so hot, so I've been driving with the windows down... I LOVE IT!!! I love fall. I have decided it. It's time for wearing sweaters and boots and looking uber cute! I'm totally jazzed!
In other news... school starts on Monday. Well, techinically, it started yesterday, but since I only have classes on Monday and Wednesday, I'll start on Monday. I finally nailed down my schedule- Ethics from 11:30 to 1, Reformed Theology from 1 to 2:30, a break, Rodger's long-name class from 4 to 5:30, and then on Mondays only, Church Administration from 6:30 to 9:30. I'm hoping I can work in some work study time at the library. I need 6 hours a week. I should be able to pull that out! I haven't blogged since I found out that I may not be able to graduate in May. Because of Pastoral Care (see Feb - May 2004 posts), I need 10 classes to graduate, and they will only let me take 9 because my GPA will not be high enough (even if I make straight A's) to be allowed to overload in the Spring. I'm working on alternatives. But I'm still pretty peeved about the whole thing! More to follow later...
Additionally (I am full of news today!) I got another job yesterday. I'll be working as a server at Ted's Montana Grill in East Cobb (store #42). They open on September 19, and I've got training from now til then (basically). I'll still be working at the law office as my schedule permits. I'm poor... I need two jobs! So, we'll see how that goes. We had orientation last night and it seems like it's going to be a great place to work for. Ted Turner is one of the co-founders and he's so environmentally conscious and it's spilled into the concept... I love it! And there's always the possibility that Ted will show up... which is a bonus. The good thing is that there's a ton of room for growth in the company (a lot of the managers and training staff there yesterday have been with the company less than 2 years) which opens the door of possibilities for what to do while I wait to get a job at a church (who knows when that will be). So, that's that.
Other than that, things are pretty much the same. Hope things are going well with you! :)

hmmm...

I was going to blog about the frustration of pulling together my school schedule... but since no one can make comments to my blog... it's useless!
So, I guess I really don't have anything to blog about....
later tater

what makes a date, a date?

so, I'm just wondering, what classifies an outing with someone as a date? comments would be greatly appreciated... too bad I still can't get the comments to work on my blog. stupid blog.
in other news... oh wait, there is no other news, really.
school starts in three weeks. i'm ready to get back to it, but a little frustrated with the process. being a commuter student is apparently taboo at columbia. the school is definately set up for on campus students. there are no conveinent (how do you spell that word) times to do anything if you have a job from 9-5 M-F. I tried emailing people and apparently they are either too busy to respond, or too busy to actually acquiesce to a request and simply have time to reply with "we don't have time to reply to this." seriously people, what are you so busy doing?! I mean, I work, I know what it's like, but I also know that many times throughout the day I have time to do stuff like this... and other things that aren't necessarily "work" related. But the things I am requesting are "work" related for these people and yet the ignore me. How hard is it to post syllabi on the web? I mean, is that really a difficult request for a school with a web page? I mean, I know we still haven't quite made it to 2005 in the whole computer realm, but we do have a web page... that's a decent start! And there are people on campus (few, but enough in important places) that realize not everyone who attends the school lives on campus and want to help, but the other people (the "Man" for example) think that we should drop everything and live on their time because we are students of said establishment.
Anyway... enough ranting about that subject.

Maggie is planning on moving out soon and really wants me to move with her. The problem is that she really only wants me to live with her until Decmeber- when Jamie moves back up from Florida. Not really keen on that idea. And besides... if Maggie moves out- I want her room! It's bigger and so is the bathroom (and the closet)! But we'll see. The free housing thing didn't work out and considering the pay rate and the job where I'm working (and will probably continue working instead of seeking other emplyment), there's no way I could afford to move out and pay all the other bills I have (yeah, for my car... boo for gas). So, I guess mom will have to suck it up a little longer.

Guess that's all for now. Hope all is well with you. :)
