I have never worked so completely for so long in my entire life as I did the past 5 days!  It's bright and early on Tuesday morning and sitting down at work is the first few minutes that i have rested since I woke up Thursday morning.  The weekend from hell goes like this:

THUR: Wake up at 6a.m. and go to the internship from hell till noon.  Back to apartment to shower, change, load up car and drive to the ATL airport.  At airport, plane gets delayed to over an hour - worrying because have a connector in Detroit before going to Cincy.  Get the Detroit and they shut the gate to the Cincy plane in our face - are told we have to spend the night in the airport-JUST KIDDING.  By the time we get to a hotel and get to sleep--have 4 hours of sleep before the next flight to Cincny in the morning.

FRI: Up at 5a.m. to get to Detroit airport.  Almost missed that flight because bag checker girl told us the wrong place.  Get to Cincy at 8 a.m.  THEY LOST OUR LUGGAGE!  Bag checker girl that told us wrong gate also checked our baggage for a flight at 9:30p.m. that night.  Picked up Uhaul. GOT TO VISIT WITH HOLLY!! YAH!!! Appointment with the minister at 11 that I had to wear my mother's clothes to.  Lunch with Grandma and Mom (finally got the luggage - the airline taxied it to us).  Home and packing the U-Haul till 9 p.m.  Bedtime by 11!

SAT: 16 1/2 hours on the road!!!!  Arrive in JAX at 11:30 p.m. Bed by 2

SUN: 8:30a.m. till 2a.m. workin on cleaning the house and fixing stuff up.

MON: 9:00 a.m. till 5:00 pm working on the house.  SHower and then 5 hour drive home. AIR CONDITIONER BROKE IN THE APT! Thermostat reads 102 degrees.  Slept naked with a sheet on me - fan on, window open.  Not a comfortable situation.  Bed time by midnight.

TUES: Up at 6:30 and then here I am at work

It was the weekend from hell!!! I want to take a 2 day nap but unfortunately the pace of things does not give any indication of slowing down.  I get to go home and pack more stuff for Dave to take back to Jax.  On top of that, the realty company said they MIGHT be able to get someone out to fix the air conditioner today but it might be tomorrow if they get busy!!! 102 DEGREES!! These people are ridiculous.

Anyway, I guess I will get back to work at my internship doing absolutely nothing!! Love to all!

Currently Reading Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen By Dyan Sheldon see related

Wow, when I signed up for this website I had all these great ideas about how I was going to be eloquent and self-reflecting like my bestest friend from back home...that sure fell through!  I read her site and look at her friends and it sometimes makes me sad that I don't have the time for the meaningless rants on the internet or time to sit and read things that my friends have written.  I feel like life is at such a fast pace for me right now and all I really want to do is sit and enjoy it.  Enjoy being young and in love.  Enjoy the fact that I am going to marry the man of my dreams instead of freaking out because my mother is driving me nuts with having to do this and having to do that.  God definitley thought that I needed a little dose of patience this summer when I started this internship.  Patiene AND perseverance.  I don't know why yet, but having the most brutally boring and exruciatingly mine-numbing job for the best months of the year will pay off at some point-I know it will!

Dave and I are flying to Ohio tonight to pack up a Uhaul, drive to Jacksonville, unpack the Uhaul, and drive back to Auburn.  I am going to miss him so much while he is down there for a month without me.  It's just crazy having someone so..well...just there and then knowing that they're not going to be.

Is it crazy that I bought the book "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" because we all know that the book is always better than the movie so I of course wnated to read it first.  I think getting married is making me try to grow up so on a sub-conscious level I am fighting having to be in the "adult world". 

What is the "adult" world though? I mean, if being grown up means not being able to have fun and relax and enjoy life without having to worry about money and jobs and all the other things that we too often let control us, then maybe I never want to grow up.  I think that is why I want to work with children once I am an attorney.  So often, the events in life that involve children in the legal system make them have to grow up and face scary things way too quickly and I want to be someone there who can help them still enjoy childhood while they have it.

Well, the evil that is my internship is almost over for today so I will try to find something productive to do.  Love to all!

Currently Playing In This Skin [Collector's Edition] By Jessica Simpson see related

I think I am becoming addicted to Ebay. 

I had purposely never signed up for an account because I didn't want to be able to have the urge to buy something but then I saw the cutest pink Doc Martens that were SO INCREDIBLY cheap! So, that was yesterday and since then I have won 2 items and bid on about 7 more.  Nothing too outrageaous...the two items I won maybe cost $30.00 together.  But I am worried that these small little bets may cause me to really want something and REALLY bet on it. 

Things I am working on being better at:

Self-control when it comes to spending money;   Motivation to go work out at least 4 times a week;   Making school work a priority....

After reading Holly's site tonight to catch up on her life, I realized that the soul-searching she does and the truths and enlightenments that she gets from putting things out onto the website is one of the most amazing things...I've always tried to keep a journal so I could go back and look at how I felt or things I did and remeber those times but it never worked out. I'd lose them or realize that there are somethings you are better off forgeting...

But here I am again, with the noblest of intentions, vowing to write and to look back, and use this as a tool to analyze my life and the events that occur.  If you decide to read this and keep up-great, wonderful, magical...let me know.  If you decide that this is a bunch of bologna and close it - good for you! I am personally one to get addicted to things like this...

For my first entry this will have to do...it's bedtime and I have to work and then teach tomorrow and I'd like to have enough motivation to wake up at 6:00 and work out - we'll see if that happens!
