Ugh Part Deux

So I was so distracted I didn’t even finish telling you guys about my day yesterday.  LLC!!!

About 1:30pm I was still in the store and doing hard-marks on the floor when Sissy walks in and looks at me like There you are, no wonder you weren’t answering your phone…wait, why are you still at work?  So I had to tell her about the girl who called out.  Then she hung around the store until I got off which was about 2:15pm, 15 minutes later than I was supposed to but oh well.  I changed back out of my uniform and she dragged me all over the mall for about 2 hours.  Then we went across the street to the shopping centers.  Around 7pm she dropped me off at my house.  Literally I came in, laid down and was out like a light!!!  I woke up around 3am because I hadn’t even changed my clothes and my jeans were getting really uncomfortable.  So I changed real quickly then hopped back in bed.  5am rolled around and my alarm clock started going off again because I’d forgotten to change it back to my usual time of 9:30am.  Shut that off.  Mum comes in about 9-10am-ish and asks if I have to work.  I reply that I’m a call-in for 1pm.  She gives me a list of things to do.

I ended up waking up officially sometime after she left for work.  I went to my grandfather’s to use his shredder and shred a big bagful of paperwork that has been piling up in my room for literally almost a year.  It’s mine and mum’s but her shredder is god-awful, I have to put each piece of paper through one at a time and I got really frustrated by it and said to he# with it.  My grandfather’s is a really nice one so I went and used his.  Then he took me out to lunch which was nice because we used to do it all the time before I started going to university and now I’m hardly ever home to spend time with him.  I’m trying to enjoy him as much as I can while he’s still here.  Hopefully he’s not going anywhere any time soon but he is 77, he’s getting on in years and he lives by himself in that big old house. : (  Makes me sad to think of him there by himself so I call him pretty regularly and I like spending time with him anyway.  I never got to be Daddy’s girl what with my dad being a jack-ass and leaving right after my brother was born.  I haven’t seen him since I was 3 and I haven’t heard from him since I was 12 or 13.  So I grew up my Grandfather’s princess instead.  I still get spoiled like crazy.  All I ever have to do is say "Opa, I need this" and I get it.  Now this might turn some people very selfish but I’m also well aware that he’s not working anymore so he doesn’t have a million bucks.  I don’t ask him for big things and I don’t ask him for things very often.  Mostly if I do it’s for school things, like when I needed sheets for a full bed instead of a twinXL (which is what I had bought thinking I’d be on campus in a twinXL bed before the school changed their mind and moved me off campus where all the beds are fulls) or when I need money for groceries but I haven’t been working in a while.  Or when my credit card payment is due but I won’t be paid for two weeks…;p  Stupid paycheck.

After spending most of the afternoon with my grandfather I swung by and picked Sissy up and we went browsing the mall again.  Can you tell there isn’t much to do around here?  Well that and we’re looking at new things for school since we’ll be getting paid tomorrow.  I think I lost weight because none of my jeans want to fit anymore.  Even with belts they keep sliding off.  :   So I think I’ll get a new pair of jeans.  But other than that I have more clothes than I need as it is.  Maybe one cute new clubbing shirt since we’ll be going out this Saturday for Sissy’s 21st and I didn’t pack any of my cute clothes to bring home.  Well I packed one but I don’t think I want to wear it since it’s pretty warm and if we’re going clubbing I’m going to want a shirt that I won’t die of heat-stroke in.  : )  But I’m a sale-fiend anyway.  I never buy anything full price.  I’ve gotten some of my cutest shoes for less than $5.  XD  I’m the queen of finding a good sale. 

But I also can’t go spending all my money since that paycheck will have to last me until the second week of school too.  So I’ll need $20-30 for gas plus another $40-50 for groceries probably.  Shouldn’t be too bad though.  I’ve decided I’ll put off getting my hard drive probably until I get my loan refund from the school, so roughly February-ish, first week of March at the very latest.  I also price-checked my books today although I couldn’t reserve them, stupid school.  ;p  I only have to get 2, my Unifying Biology class doesn’t have a book, yay!  But even so, those 2 books could cost me a max of $236.  o_O  $236!!!!  Well that’s if I can only get new copies of both books.  One is $114, the other is like $126 or so.  New they’re like $67 and $82.  So not nearly as bad but still!  It’ll be ok though since I’m supposed to get almost $500 back from my loan which I knew part of it would go to a hard drive.  I price checked some of those too.  I’m better off going with Ebay where they are like $40 for 40Gb one.  Which is really all I need.  It’s just for my computer and really I won’t need that much space I’m sure.  I have like 4Gb of music though on my laptop so obviously that slows it down some.  I also intend to add to my collect as soon as I know my money is in my account tomorrow (Thank god for direct deposit!!!)  I love my music-site.  I put $20 in and get a ton of music for it.  Songs on that site are like $0.08 to $0.13.  Like a whole CD worth of music runs like $3.50!!!  It’s great!!  And my MP3 player has been sorely lacking on some of the songs I really want to hear lately.  : (

I’m a call-in tomorrow…hopefully I’ll actually work.  It would be nice you know to actually have more than 8 hours on my next paycheck. LOL  I know I’ll have more than that since I have at least 4 hours in inventory on Sunday plus another 4 hour shift Wednesday.  But I have call-ins on Tuesday and Saturday.  Even if I work Saturday I think I’m still going to leave after I get off.  I figure get off at 3, go home and pack my car, hit the road about 7-8pm, I’ll get to school between 9-10pm and at that point I don’t think any of the RA’s will care.  Then I can go in Sunday to the bookstore and get my books, plus hit up the store for groceries and be able to spend the rest of the afternoon studying for O chem (no I still haven’t started studying yet, bad girl!  *smacks self*  It’s only the 3rd of the year and I’m already breaking my resolution!!!)  Ah well.  Something to plan out closer to that day.  I’ll probably spend Thursday and Friday packing anyway.  So much to pack, so much to plan…I can’t believe how fast the break went by.  o_O  I want my time back!!!!!  *wails about wasted time*  LLC 

*luv ya bunches*
