Marge Simpson Costume!!!

OK, pictures from top to bottom, left to right. First picture: Me in my Marge Simpsons costume. Second Picture: Cirdan in his mask and me as Marge. Third: Cirdan, my mom, and I sitting at the edge of the garage in fron tof a table where the trick or treating was taking place. we had a fog machine it was cool. Forth: me getting ready, sadly the only pic of me without a sweater on top.

Now toda was quite a day. I still havent washed my hair out yet becuase i wanted to post before i went to bed. it already 11 pm. I started the day by going to the end of season paintball meeting that took way too ling, and turns out there realy is no off season. oh well. i just dont have time anymore to put all my effort inot paintball. I think getting to shoot people year round might be stress relieving though.

After i finally got home from that, i had to set up for trick or treaters. I had my lime green duct tape dress already made. My sister was going to curl my air then we would spray it up. I wasnt working too well and my mom came up with the idea to us a large plastic cup and put it in my hair, and pull it up over the cup, and band it in place. We then used pipecleaners for some curls. my sister took lots of pictures of my running around in my underwear and whatnot. It was such a hetic day almost. Im disaointed becuase i dont think my Marge hair looks 100% great, and my make up didnt turn out how i wanted. I was trying fot cartoon 'ball' eyes, but i didnt have much time.

i got alot of comments and complients on my outfit by mostly adults, but hey, the simpsons were originally aired on the tracey ulman show in 1987, the year i as born, so i expect adults to appreciate it more.

Any questions or comments? ideas for improvement? remember, it was half-assedly planned out and done quickly with no experience so i hope you al enjoy my costume and it is what you expected.

I've finally chosen a major

yes, one year into school and i finally decided what i want to do. I almost feel like ive wasted time because i didnt have a specific major, so i didnt take specific classes. I chose Astronomy for a couple reasons. First, i love the subject and have alwyas been interested in the stars and all that jazz. Second, i love math and science. They are actually my best subjects. Im not a straight a student, but i atleast try to understand the information completly instead of knowing the answers with out 'getting' it. I dont like to regurgetate information because how are you supposed to use it in life if you dont know how to apply what you know? Third is that i learn fast, and i need someting challenging to keep me going. Its really stressfull and life flies by but im so lazy when my life isnt busy. I usually dont keep organized. I need structure.
I dont know how to aply astronomy to a career, but i know that UW Madison has the major available and i live in Beaver Dam, which is directly in the middle between FDL and Madtown on HWY 151, and becaus i already drive to FDL, i can drive the same distace to my next school, or even live there. Im very comfortable in Madtown. I will never go to milwaukee becuase i dont like the place. I know its the stereotypes, but too many bad thigs realated to me happen there. Not to me, but to people i know.
On another topic, i get to go to franklin elementary on monday to do Teaching Atmospheric Concepts to Kids or TACK. my group and i go there after school to the boys and girls club and do weather related activities around a specific weather topic depending on the week we go. My group is temperature. it shoould be fun but we have alot of prep to do before hand, and i ave a test in astronomy that day. EEk! all should go well i think.

HALLOWEEN!!

so for halloween i'm going to dress up as marge simpson. It will only be for trick or trest sunday. theres no way i would ever put my hair straight up for school. hopefully i will get some picture taken and i will post them.
I think i finally chose my major. i want to major in astronomy. I love math and science and i've always beena a fast learner and interested in the universe. The only problem is that i never seem to have enough time to put my best effort in. If im not at school in class, im at work, driving to or from school, or hopefully sleeping. And in all the little time inbetween i try to relax and see my friends. i know life is just that way, but it seems like i can never win in terms of whats happens in my life. No matter what i decide for a school schedule i end up working when i dont want to becuase only certain shifts are available. If im not home by 5 there is no point in me working. And i usually work unitl atleast ten and then i have to do whatever when i get home, then wake up early to get to school or babysit my neice and nephew.
i really hate to just bitch about everything all the time but what else is there for me talk about that doesnt make me feel like im writting a paper? i dont even check my grammer and spelling becuase a blog is like a journal and i just write / type whatever i think and i dont have time to retrace my thoughts. My mind doesnt work like that.
i guess its not that i dont care in the sense of im blowing it off because im rude, but its more that i dont like having to make my thoughts part of a system. its like in books where dialect is spelt out. Im not the kind of person to enjoy telling strangers random thoughts so i dont care if it gets read either. So if no one reads it them my grammer shouldnt matter.

work work work

this weekend was hell on earth for me at work.
Its busy at a resteraunt on weekends, so we had alot of cooks working. i'm a cook too. I got stuck on salad, which is on the pizza end, meaning i do the salads and desserts for the pizza cook during the night when they are too busy doing pizzas.
I usually work with the same person, so thats means im in at 4, they're at 5. I restock and do the pan change, and cut the pizza for them, turn it in the oven, and refill their toppings during the night, plus do the salads and keep myself stocked. Then at 830 when we die down, they get their way and leave early, while im stuck there as the last person before the closer. Its the same on friday and saturday.
There is no dignity in that. The only thing i like is that im not actually as busy as the other sections like broil, who does all the food thats not pizza, pasta or speciallty. then on sunday i was by myself on pizza. I got my ass kicked. It was non stop 16 inch pizzas to go and for the people eating there. i didnt get top restock until after 7pm.
Then around 830 the drain started to bubble up water all over the floor up on the cook line. It went all under my ends coolers, and the ovens in the niddle. I helped ryan mop it up, and before we were done we had to empty the mop bucket because we had so much water on the floor. Shortly after we dumped the water and almost had it all clean, it did it again, only worse. By this time our maintance guy came in to wet/dry vaccum the floor and check out the drain. we realized it might be connected to the mop sink and when the first bucket was dumped it pushed the water back up, and if the bar area was mopped up and the water was dumped earlier, then that caused the initial bubbling.
so the maintance guy should have came in this morning to fix it. I hope its fixed by the time i go back to work tomorrow, that was the worst smelling mess i have ever delt with at work.
