Sup gals? Just thought I would put up this silly picture of me and the cow. There's cows like this all over the city, they painted them for charity, I'm not sure what for. So I got a Memo today at my apartment, they noticed many of us are throwing away recyclables, and want us to start recycling more. There's something you're not too likely to see in Ohio.
This week has gone really fast. I stayed at Scott's last weekend, and commuted from there. It wasn't too bad of a ride on the commuter rail, but I think we might just stay where we are for now. I've been drivin Scott nuts cuz I can't make up my mind whether I want to move or not, so he made me shake on not moving... in hopes that I'll stop talking about it, hah!
This weekend he's gonna stay here at my place. The OSU Alumni club is gathering to watch the Bucks Saturday at a bar here in town, so we'll probably check that out. Monday night we're going to a Red Sox game :) I hope Scott is feeling better (he was kinda sick yest and today) cuz we've been looking forward to the game! I'm excited about my 1st holiday since I started working, I still have about 2 months before my probation period is over. I'm not allowed to take any days off until then. Which is fine because I'm saving them for the holidays anyhow.
I talked with my mom last night, she is doing a somewhat experimental depression treatment. It's sort of like a pacemaker for the brain, it's called a Vagus Nerve Stimulator... in case Liz feels inclined to look it up :) It used to just for Epilepsy, but they discovered it had "happy" side-effects, LOL. She's been feeling better, and sounded really good on the phone. I'm excited for her, I think this thing might actually be working. If not, at least it's having a good placebo effect for now. My family has actually been surprisingly mellow about my move. It doesn't seem to bother my dad, it's about the same as me being in Columbus for him. I think my brother was pretty upset, but he's hoping to fly out here by himself sometime.
Have a great weekend!

Well looks like we got something started here. We are posting away LOL. Anyway......Cleveland was fun, had too many shots and almost threw up in the bathroom but didnt :) Allison's bridal shower was very nice and I will be going to Wapak, OH for her bachelorette party on Saturday.
Jenna, Im glad you are loving your job, I know the paperwork sucks but we take the good with the bad. Emma looks so cute in that picture. It's good that Alicia likes her job at Walmart, its a start.
Liz thats great that you decided what you want. I hope you hear from UT. Yeah I am going to start really buckling down and studying for the GRE. I've decided thats what I really want to do and Im not sure why I ever went into teaching LOL. Oh well. Let me know what your schedule looks like and we will get together.
Katie, the city will get better once you get used to all that comes with living the big city life. Get out there and try some new things........live it up! I wish I had the guts to move across the nation.
Well thats all for now

Bet Mr Sheak is crushed!
I was just reading on cnn.com that Maynard Ferguson died...bet Sheak's dyin'!
Hey peeps
Hey guys...no my 2nd invite didn't go to the junk...I only got it like 1 day ago...give me a 2nd!
Anyhow, I pretty much have absolutely nothing to say on here right now. My life is major boring...sleep all day, shower, eat dinner, mindlessly watch some tv, drive a sucky hour to work, work 8 hours, drive another hour home and start all over! :P Oh well, at least I make good money for my generally boring job, instead of working a boring, crappy paying 'food service' job. So, April...what are you doing about it?? Have you studied for your GRE for the college personnel thing or are you thinking something diff. now?? I finally made up my mind...pharmacy it is...I applied for spring at UT...haven't heard anything yet because I'm assuming the bastards are busy with the fall students. So...Katie, you're not into the whole Boston thing, huh?? That bites...I don't know if I'd really be into either. I love Boston, but to visit. I'm so not wanting to live somewhere with that high of a cost of living (loving the midwest, LOL!). Jenna...glad the teaching thing is going well! (at least someone is happy right now :) ) Finally Alicia found a job she likes!
well....I'm droning on about nothing & basically just regurgitating what ya'll already said. Have fun in Cleveland, April!

Yo
Ok....so....here it goes.....
This week started off kinda iffy b/c I have a shit ton of paperwork to do. I mean, we knew getting into this that there would be paperwork, but it seems that everytime I turn around there is something else that needs to be mailed to parents, someone needs to be tested, something is due for NDE, I have to have a meeting for 50 different things. UGHHH! AND I NEED TO WRITE LESSON PLANS AND TEACH THEM AND TAKE CLASSES TO GET MY PROVISIONAL LICENSE!!!! ok, seriously I love my job so far, because it's what I wanted to do...teach. I do have 2 paras in my room and one of them has a sub license so she can teach my students so I can do the paperwork. It's not exactly what I thought my first job would be like, but sometimes you have to deal with it for a while.
On the positive side, Emma has been cooing a lot. Ya never really think that hearing a baby babble would be music to your ears, but when you're a mom...there's nothing sweeter! :) She is coming up on three months now, and even though I try to spend as much time with her as I can and cherish this time, I get kinda sad to think someday I will wake up and she will be pushing me in a wheelchair. LOL...maybe?
Alicia enjoys her job and loves working at Walmart. She likes the people she works with and things seem to be looking up for her. We'll see how things go.
Overall, life is pretty good on this side of the fencepost. I can't complain too much because I have been given a lot!
Well, that's all for now...peace and love!
JLO

RMV Suxs big dick!
Yeah, I think Liz's did go to junk mail, I sent her another one though. But I'm not sure whether she got that. April, tell ur boss to stop actin like a Biiiaaaaatch! I hope you have fun this weekend. I'm all about weekends now days, I pretty much live for them! Work has been so so this week, yesterday was good. Today I have been pissed off since this morning and haven't been able to shake my funk.
So I head to the RMV downtown (Motor Vehicle Registration Hell) this morning, thinking there won't be too bad of a crowd at 9:30 AM. I waited at that damn place for 2 hours!! I didn't get to work until a 'lil before noon. Luckily it seems no one noticed I was gone. Everything is such a pain in the ass around here I tell ya. Don't even get me started on those lazy, rude government employees. You wait there for hours, and the people who work there still have the nerve to be rude. MY lady was OK, she had just started work at 11... she hadn't been there nearly as long as I had. Everytime I have to deal with bureaucracy in this city it makes me want to pull out my hair! On a bright note my licence is good for 5 years and the picture turned out decent.
This weekend I'm going stay at Scott's. If the weather is nice there's supposed to be an outdoor concert tomorrow night and a big garden/buterfly thing we want to check out. I think some people from work are going out downtown Saturday night, but I'm not sure whether we want to come back into town to drink it up. I'm afraid that my attitude is going down the tubes because I don't really like living in this city and nobody wants to be friends with grumpy. Hopefully that's not the case, but I just don't feel like things are jiving as well as they did in Columbus. There's lots of cool stuff to do here, as there was in cbus. But all the other big city crap is really pulling away from the positives. Also, I'm feeling worn out on starting over. When you go to undergrad you start fresh, then grad schoool, and now again? Blah, I already have lots of great friends, if only I was in the same place as some of them. Like I said, I have a serious attitude problem! :P
I shouldn't be so poo poo on moving away, I don't want to deter April from ever leaving Fotown. Moving can be very good for you, but I think too many moves can go sour. Scott and I kinda knew all along we would come here, get experience, and then head back closer to home. Sounds good in theory, but it's kinda stupid b/c once we get settled in here and get to know people and the area, it doesn't really make sense to head back to the midwest and start over again. It's not like everything just stands still while you're gone. I'm sure Jenna & Eric know what I mean. It would be really hard to leave NE now and come back to OH, even though you've only been there a few years.
That's enough ranting for one day! Tomorrow is Friday! YAY :) I've posted quite a bit on the other blog, so for more general info on what I've been up to (other than complaining) check that out. It seems silly to post everything twice.
Happy Weekend!

Hey Hey!
so where is everyone at? not much going on here except I am really hating my job right now. I want to quit but I can't. blah! I need to find a different job I am so sick of working in food service and the big boss is being a major bitch. Anyway on a good note Im going to Cleveland for the weekend. My friend Daniella is getting married and sunday is Allison's bridal shower. So it should be a good time :)
Jenna how is your job going? Hope the students arent giving you a hard time. Katie hope you arent getting too bored working in your office. Wonder why Liz hasnt joined our group, I bet her invite went to junk mail.
later,
April

Sup!
Hey all! Just wanted to stop in and say hi! I have been ever so busy....but let me start of by saying...KT, you were being a little overdramatic w/ me wanting a blog..I just agreed with you that we should have one! :-p :)
*Anyway...I have had one official day AT school ,school starts Wednesday. Excited; a little; worried......definitely. There's ALOT going on in my life and I don't know where to fit it all in!
*I have to take some classes too, to get my SPED endorsement. I found out (after already registering to take classes in Wayne) that UNK -University of Nebraska-Kearney - has videoconference SPED classes. So after a waste of gas for this semester, I think that I will apply to UNK to get that out of the way. I'm taking 2 classes, each are about 3 hours, Mondays & Wednesday (each class a diff. day)
*Eric will be teaching classes on Tue & Thur. so we will both be busy :(
*Alicia has a job at Walmart working overnight shipping & receiving, so hopefully she will be busy and make some money.
* Eric took Emma to her first day at daycare. I guess after about 30 min. when Eric left, she figured out he wasn't coming back and had a rough morning. I really hate to do that to her, so I might just have Alicia watch her during the day while I'm gone. The only problem is, I don't know if Alicia plans on sticking around for a while. So, I guess Emma will just have to learn to deal with new people :(
Anyway, I have paperwork to fill out...meetings all day on Monday and gotta get my room together. I will let you all in on more!
Love ya!
