Life Update

[Charlotte Tracey]

Ok. Life's been pretty boring in some areas, but very exciting in others. So, here we go.

Work
Still working at Toys'R'Us. Still hating it. My supervisor, Craig, is an idiot. He's not doing his job, I am. He just gets paid for it. Which is annoying as fuck. I want him gone. Yesterday! Lately a few people have been getting fired, but just people who have been stealing. I'm not worried. I'm not dumb enough (or pathetic enough) that I need to steal. Even if I did, I would never get fired from there. They NEED me. Those people are completely dependent on me in R-Zone right now. So much so that they would either have to make some serious changes in there when I leave, or close the damn store. Good Luck to them next year when I leave.

Home
For now, my cousin Ciara is staying with us. Only until March, but it's fun. ^_^ It hasn't changed much around here. Anthony is gone, which is FANTASTIC, and I am loving it even months later, and I will never get over how fantastic it is that he is gone. My mom is dating this new guy Noel, who's really nice. He's a little annoying, and has a lot of habits I don't like, and he can't cook very well, but he's nice. Really nice. It kind of pisses me off. At least with Anthony I could yell back at him when he annoyed me, but with Noel I can't. He's just to damn nice!! >_<

Friends
A lot of crap has been happening here. Alecia has been pissing me off recently. If you know her or any of the crap going on with her you know why. I won't get into much of it, because that would be rude, and it's not my business to tell. Basically there is just a lot of drama consiring her, her husband, and her daughters. Lately she only calls if she wants something, and only then. This is also pissing my mom off, and she wants nothing to do with the whole thing. Kristin and I have basically washed our hands of the whole thing, we give up. We have tried for too long to help, and she won't take it, she just wants to be enabled and have us give her money and shelter and food for NOTHING! O_<

With Kristin things have been much better. If you check out her profile you can find out more then I'm going to tell you. The short version is that she broke up with Seff, her once fieance, and is with this guy Anton, who's really great. She's finding a job, and is moving into an apartment in MY HOUSE!!!! It's going to be awesome. My mom rents out apartments in our house, pretty cheap too. So, my best friend will be living in my house. And I'm trying to get my shit together so I can move out. Perfect timing, huh? -_-'

School
I am still at RCC (Retards Can Continue...if you weren't already informed, that's it's real name). I HATE it there. I'm in my third year....it's a two year school. I'm a genius, no? A lot of my failure has to do with work, I always think I can manage hard classes over the fall season, but at work I get over worked during that time (Christmas is coming). So, I always end of failing. You'd think I would have learned my lesson the first time. No. I am an idiot. Right now I'm working really hard to get my my grades up and finish off my associates degree soI can graduate and, hopefully, go to Suny New Paltz. It's about an hour away, so if I get it I'll be dorming. I'm going to have to take summer classes (both sessions, so my summer is shot) just so I can graduate this year. I don't want to wait until the fall to finish, I'll use that for back up incase I fail anything, but I want to be done with school and use that time to put in some extra hours at work to get some more cash before I go away for school. I'm also planning on applying for New Paltz then (I want to actually get my degree before I apply, just so I don't fuck up or anything) and looking for scholorships and loans so I can afford it.

My Writing
Lately I'm been trying to get my writing out there a bit. I recently sent in a poem to the New York, I didn't accepted, but at least I tried. I'll try again later if I write another poem I think they'll take. I'm also getting information from a publisher about how to publish my own book of poetry. That should be been arriving in the mail soon. I still don't have enough poems to fill a book, but I'm working on it. I'm also finishing up in my writing school. It's a mail in writing school, I mail in my assignments and a professional writer grades them and give me feedback. So far he's really liked my stuff, and hasn't been editing to much, so I'm excited. Once I finish with the writing school I'm going to send some stuff into magazines I'm not to worried about getting published right now, but once I finish school I'm going to focus on it a lot more.

Health
I'm pretty healthy, not much to complain about. I did just get my wisdom teeth out, so that's bugging me a bit. I just went to my follow up appointment earlier on today, and it turns out I have Dry Socket. It's very common after getting you're wisdom teeth out. It's somthing that happens when you the bone grows in under the gums, but the tissue isn't growing in properly above it. It causes a lot of pain in the jaw and the ears, and you get a nasty taste in your mouth and some odor. It was driving my crazy. I'm been popping back painkillers like tic tacs (and if you know me and my ridiculous fear of ASPRIN, you would understand how much pain I was in). At my appointment today the doctor put some stuff, that looked like dark forest green tea leaves, into the holes where the wisdom teeth came out. It tasted like if mint had a garbage flavor. The taste, for the most part, went away in about 2 hours, along with A LOT of the pain. So, I'm feeling much better now, and I don't need to take any more painkillers. I love it!! XD

I guess that's about all that's going on now. It's a bit more then I realized at the beginning. Fun!

yeah, I don't really get stressed over anything. It would just be nice to have a break.

I need money, so I can't afford to take time off. And when I do take off, I always have something to do. I run my house, so I'm always cleaning. My mom works all week, so I take care of the house for her. She pays for my insurance, so I can't say no to her.

I'll get some time later. I'm planning to go away for college next year. My mom said she doesn't want me working to much then, and I won't have to take care of the house then. I want to make sure I get a dorm by myself though, that way I don't have to worry about cleaning up after someone. I'm such a neat freak, no matter who makes a mess I have to clean it.

trust me you don't. It's such a headache. I'm afraid to answer my phone any more because I'm just going to get sucked into SOMETHING! Maybe we should just trade. I need a vacation or something, but I'll never get one, I don't have time for a vacation. ;_;
