I'm not so sure about this

Yesterday I went tanning. That is a story unto itself because I am one of those girls that is against fake-baking. But, putting moral tanning dilemmas aside I will continue with my story. When I walk in the receptionist is showing someone how to work a bed in the back, so I take a seat in the waiting room. I was ready for her to tell me which room I was allowed to go into. As the receptionist walks out I realize two things that hit me in the chest hard as if the wind was knocked out of me.

The first thing I realized was that I knew this girl. We of course had gone to high school together but I had gone to high school with almost 6,000 people all together so no surprise there. I felt like I knew her well, as if I should have recognized her voice when I called to make an appointment earlier that day. I should have remembered her name and what I knew her from. I couldn't. The other thing I realized was that she was 8 months pregnant.
She kindly told me which room to go in with out asking my name. I went in and it took me almost the full 15 minutes to realize how I had known her.

She was my next-door-neighbor's best friend. I had played with her all the time when I was little. I had known her in high school as well, she had been pregnant then too. Her name was Krista.

I felt bad for not realizing who she was but I was more disturbed by the idea of her being pregnant. I didn't think that it was weird for her to be pregnant now, that was the problem. When she was pregnant in high school that was a little bit of a scandal as all teen-pregnancies are. But I'm not a teen any more. That girl who I hadn't seen in at least three years looked normal pregnant. She is of the age to where it is socially acceptable to have babies.

This means I'm to the age where it would be socially acceptable for ME TO HAVE A BABY?
I'm not okay with that! I'm way to young for those kinds of responsibilities. Then I remembered that when my mom was my age she had been married for three years and 7 months pregnant. I can't imagine having that sort of life right now.

I sat there in Tans to Glo in my wicker chair, unable to breathe for a second. I'm growing up!
It's weird to have these moments. I have had similar ones before. I have moments where I suddenly realize who I am, as if i hadn't noticed before. This was a scary feeling for me. It's hard to explain but maybe somewhere someone can understand.

Last Weekend

So I had this plan for the past two years. It was to make a lot of money over the summer and not work while I was at school. The funny thing is that it has worked (sort of). So now, I have 100 bucks to my name and I still have to make it home in a week and a half and work at my summer job for 3 weeks before i get paid!

This is the time to get creative! I obviously have enough money to barely live on so what am I supposed to do with my free time? That's a good question.

This past weekend my boyfriend came to visit me, I love the kid but this created more of a dilemma. Now I not only had to find something fun for myself, but had to entertain a boy?!?! I could have crocheted all weekend and had a fabulously-free time.

I found myself Friday night with 6 kids in my room and the whatdoyouwanttodo batter came about. I hate that! We all sit around wishing we were somewhere else instead of enjoying each other's company.

So my boyfriend and I started to race in the hallways...I like to run sometimes. Then everyone came in the hallway and we tried to climb up all of the walls. We were having so much fun! I decided that we needed to make a towers Olympics. The dorm that I live in is called the Towers. Then we ended up playing sardines in the entire 12 floors of the dorm. We ended up having so much fun. It was free and we were enjoying each other's companies. It was a great friend memory I'll try hard to keep with me.

Finals are here

So I haven't blogged in a long time because of FINALS! So finals start in just a few days and I've had papers and projects due all this week.
This was the semester that I buckled down and did all of my projects on time. I actually turned in all of my papers early. I know, it's even out of my character. Don't be jealous.
So it is finals time, I love finals! All you have to do is show up for class and take one test. I can do that. I rock at tests...it's all of the projects that suck.
So now I'm being lazy. I still have a lot of studying to do but I've decided to pretend like this is my summer of laying around. See, as soon as I go home I get to start my summer job. Being an assistant to the person in charge of document control. This is with Fru-Con.
There are so many great stories that come out of working at Fru-Con! I worked there all last year and had a blast! It's like working in The Office of real life, because it is real life. I'm sure I'll have fun stories to tell. I'll also have time to do crafts with no homework. I'm working on crocheting an octopus right now and I might start on making a quilt for my nephew's second birthday.
I'm just letting everyone know that great blogs are coming. I might even talk about my daily battle of trying to look fashionable in the office. (It's a hard battle, I know)
