Greetings and Salutations to everyone.
I know that it has been forever and a day since I last posted. But working 3rd shift, going to school and the multitude of other things that I am doing don't allow me much free time.
Anyway, I have to make this post short as I am at work and need to get back to work, but I thought that I should let everyone know that I will be having a name change come October. If you don't get what I mean by that, I am saying that I am getting married.
Yes, I know, surprise surprise. I finally found my Mister Right, but I can't wait to get married and settle down. It will be good times I am certain.
Anyway, Andy (that's his name) and I are getting married October 7,2006. So wish me luck and say a prayer of thanksgiving for me.
Later.

Well all things considered, my life at present isn't too terribly bad. I mean I am busy as all get out. I am trying my hardest to get my stuff for student teaching done so that I can relax a little bit, but you know how that goes. It never goes as planned. But I will persevere, even if it kills me.
At present it looks like I will not be getting a call for the spring semester. Bummer is all I have to say. This means several things. That I will be moving back home for a semester to work either for my father (love you dad, but no thanks), substitute in the sheboygan school district (if they let me, darn IL certification), or get hired at as a chemist or biologist at one of the local companies (so was that one part As or two?). Also this means I will be living with my parents. As soon as christmas is over, I am so moving into the basement. I don't care if the day after, I spend all day putting the carpet squares down, if it means I get to move into my own private room that much faster. Basically, I am taking over my parents basement or at least a third of it. We will just have to see how this works out.
On a sad note, January 11th is not happening now. Darn airline prices. This makes me sad, but I just have to make it to April. Heck it has been two years, what is 5 months more?
That is all for now. Check later for further updates.

I have had it. I can't take it anymore. I am in the middle of my student teaching and because concordia hates me I am having to go home every weekend to work, while I am trying to write lesson plans, and get enough sleep that i can in some semblence function for classes.
On top of this I have an advanced chem class that is more then just a little challenge. I am tired of the struggle and am starting to be pulled apart.
Included with this my mother is having seperation anxiety. So when I go home to work, it is hard to get out of the house, which makes it hard to get back on Sunday to Concordia at a decent hour, which makes it difficult to get my lesson plans done at a decent hour, which makes it hard for me to get enough sleep to function.
Can we see how everything is just building on one another?
I so need this semester to be over and done with and me to be out on my own.

Where to begin? Good question.
This semester has been nothing, but a gigantic rollercoaster ride. Of course, I am the one that doesn't do well with rollercoasters. My tummy doesn't like them and this one has been hell.
So far, I arrived, screwed up a friendship and almost a second one, survived the four weeks of classes and the four weekends of going home and working, the beginning of student teaching, finding out I owe concordia money yet, and being sick for most of it.
I am tired of being sick and of dealing with shit. I am ready to be out of here and ready to move on with my life. Hopefully, I will be able to graduate and everything will turn out beautifully for me, even though I doubt it.
Oh well, here comes the next drop, take a deep breath and pray my tummy can take it.

So maybe I am not as bad a person as I thought I was about a week or so ago, but as for what I am that I am not exactly certain. As of last night I felt like a hollow shell striving to find some meaning behind myself. However that meaning wasn't there.
Since then I have slept on it and have come to a few truths. One, I have a disposition to be a caring individual. AKA, the mother effect as I like to call it. Two, I have a flare for music, writing, and sometimes being creative. Three, I worry way to much,(and I send thanks to a friend who kept telling me that) Fourth, and finally, that I am damaged in some ways. Broken and splintered, but not beyond repair. And with being broken, I have discovered that I have to like what I am before anybody else can. In order to do this, I have to repair myself by myself. Then let others see what they think.
This may not be the easiest task ahead of me, but sometimes it is the hard things in life that are the most rewarding.

Life is so fucked up. At present have decided that I am a two faced, hypocrite with many issues to work out. Needless to say have also made the decision that being single through this (or at least at present) is the best route, so am once again single. Short lived relationships seem to be my gift. What can I say?
Anyway, need to get back to work and then off to work on getting through boxes at home. School is almost here. Thank God.

Hehehe. I am so goofy at present. So much has happened since last I posted so I am going to give the quick overview. If you want more details ask for specifics please.
My parents had their 25th wedding anniversary happenings and things went off without a hitch. Nick and I sang while my cousin Heather accompanied on the flute. Mom cried. After the service the party was fun. Good food, good music, mom dancing the chicken dance as the head chicken, good times. And most importantly KARAOKE!!!
Then mom and dad were gone to springfield and st. louis for a week. In other words, Nick and I had free reign of the house. We did however keep the place neat and clean. He and I had a ton of fun. On top of that we went to Chicago and met up with Matt and Troy. We had a blast. Fun times.
Now I am just working and trying to get ready to go back to school. One week left. Where did summer go? But fun times were had. That is for certain. And I must say things are definately looking up.

Well it has been an eternity since I have given an update, so here are the basics for you. Grandpa Allen is doing much better, in fact he is almost off of his oxygen for during the day. That is awesome.
I am working by my father again and it is busy as always. At present I am playing supervisor in our silk screening department as the supervisor is out because of having back surgery. Hard work, but I am loving it.
Presently my bro is residing in the basement while we finish painting his room. I am getting to teach my family how to rag roll. Fun times for me. As soon as we get his room done though, the basement is mine.
Also mom and I are working on getting things for their 25th wedding anniversary ready. Needless to say, there is alot of work to be done yet, but we will persevere.
Finally, I am doing some dog sitting. In particular for pastor Osladil and his family. The dog is name Martin Luther, but they call him Marty for short. He is a husky/shephard mix, aka. big dog. This will definately be interesting to say the least.
Other then that I have just mainly been sitting at home hoping for company. Yet, not getting much. So hope you all are having a good summer and miss ya something fierce.

That's it I have had it. I want out. I need freedom. I need to just get away. *deep breath* ok, I better now.
Tonight has just been one of those nights. Everything as seem to come to a head for me in both the family/friend world. I have come to several realizations with my family. One being that I am here to assist and serve in the capacity they need without regards to what I might have planned for myself for the evening. I know this is sounding selfish already, but I have to say it is annoying as hell when you plan to go down to the lakefront and relax with a good book and you walk in the door and your mom hands you a list of things she needs to get done. Now if this happened occasionally, I wouldn't mind. In fact if she said to me the night before, Julie, tomorrow I am going to need some help around the house, I would have no problems cancelling my plans by myself, but it never happens that way. And even sometimes when it has to be last minute I don't mind dropping my plans to pitch in, it is just that sometimes I would like a little alone time or time to get out of my house and I just don't get it. Secondly, my family is nosey as hell. Example, a friend of mine calls me on my cell phone, I answer, talk and come back to living room to pick up whatever I was doing. Mom then asks who called, I say a friend from school. Most people would let it drop there, not my mom she wants to know which one. And I have told her that it bothers me and she still does it. Ok, so those are my big family rants. I know they aren't that big in retrospect, it just sometimes feels like they are.
When looking at my friends though, I feel very alone here at home, because I don't have that many close friends that live around here anymore. Most of my friends are scattered across several states. Ranging from IL to MI to IN to other locations. And even my friends who are close to me are sometimes 30 or more minutes away, so it isn't always feezable to just randomly decide to do something like we do at school. I just miss being closer to people. Though tonight one of my friend back home pissed me off. Oh, is Jeff going to get it when I get ahold of him. I can stand changes in plans if you have a good reason. I can even stand you standing me up once without calling if there was an emergency. However, doing it 2 to 3 times gets to be a bit much. I am irritated beyond belief with him at present. And in case you are going to ask if he had a good reason, for the first 2 no he didn't ,but for tonight I don't know yet cuz he still hasn't called me. Sorry it has been a bit of a rough night.
Anyway, just feeling more alone right know then usual and feeling very seperated from people. :-(

Ok, so this wasn't my idea, but I give Joshie props on coming up with it. I am hoping it will bring about some fun times for the last week of the semester. :-)
I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions--no more, no less. Ask me anything you want. Then, I want you to go to your journal and copy and paste this, allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

Why? I think that about defines it. Well maybe not exactly, but it works for me.
Ok, so I haven't written about what has been happening with me in an eternally long time, so I have come to rectify that situation. I am going to start from roughly two weeks ago from this evening.
So on March 16th, my little brother came down to visit me. Awesome times to be had that is for certain. I picked him up in Kenosha on Friday evening. Jen road with me. We had fun. Cute military boys in the car next to us. No more need to be said. So we get my bro, have a meal with my family and head back to River Forest. My bro and I chilled for a few hours till it was time to get him settled in for bed. Of course, my luck, my friend was late getting back, but we finally got hooked up with him and we went our separate ways for sleep. Saturday, was the Shedd Aquarium, Buchingham Fountain, Rainforest Cafe, and the Magnificant Mile. We had a blast just getting to spend most of the day downtown. Of course my bro's favorite parts were the sharks at the shedd and lunch. I swear when you are a fifteen year old boy, food is your best friend. Anyway, we got back from downtown, and went to see A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum which was being produced on campus. Nick and I thought it was hilarious and we enjoyed ourselves immensily. Well Sunday, then came and I had to return him to my parents. It was a bittersweet return to campus after dropping him off. I missed him already before I got onto the Highway and Kenosha is right off the highway.
So, everything seems peachy so far right? Just wait.
So monday is smooth, and then comes Tuesday. Now those of you who are friend of mine know that I don't have any classes on tuesday till 6pm, but that I do have work at 2pm. You would also know if you have seen my room that my bed is lofted. Well, somehow getting out of bed on Tuesday afternoon, I ended up landing four toes on my left foot on the floor and my pinkie toe on top of my chemistry book. Needless to say my toe is still healing from that occurance. I ended up spraining it horribly. The worst part was having to wear tennis shoes though to work in the lab. My toe wasn't happy with me.
Wednesday goes without much trouble minus the hurting toe. Thursday, Brad arrives from Wisconsin to see Jen and the crew. Mainly Jen though. They are so cute sometimes. Anyway, after my night class we decide to go and get snacks at the grocery store. Cool beans right? Wrong. As we are leaving, I got backed into. Needless to say, dent put in my car. Still working on getting it fixed.
So I go into friday, with an injured toe, a dented car, and my friend Mel from Michigan coming to visit with her friend Elisa, and supposedly my buddy Matt. Unfortunately, I find out Friday morning from Jen that Matt isn't coming. Major bummer on my part. I really wanted to see Matt. :-( Anyway, I am certain he had good reasons for his absense. But on top of all this, I also around noon or so get a call from my mom telling me that my grandfather has been sent back to the hospital for a second time in a little over a month. And what makes it worse is that they don't know what is wrong with him. So Mel gets here friday night, we chill and I stay out by her for the evening.
Saturday I wake up and take my car to get an estimate to get it fixed. While I am enroute, I get a call from my mom, and she calls to tell me that my grandpa has congestive heart disease, excess fluid on his lungs, and anemia that they can't figure out where he is losing blood. So I get an estimate from Ted's Autobody. It is gonna cost roughly $430 to get my car fixed back to normal. The cool thing though is that he was able to pop out most of the dent and he didn't charge me anything for it. The rest of saturday was spent downtown. Then back to school, where mel and elisa left to go back to their hotel, and I was going to meet up with them in a bit. At which point, I finally have a small emotional breakdown. I am just very worried about my grandpa. Well, while I am trying to regain my wits, I get a call from my buddy and co-scenic manager for ACT, Sarah K., to remind me we have strike going on tonight. With everything going on, I had totally forgotten. So I work to regain my composure and I went to strike. However, I really wasn't much help in the mental state I was in and for that I am sorry to any ACT people or others involved in Forum that might read this.
Sunday, Mel and Elisa head out, and the rest of that day and monday are spent finishing homework and worrying about my grandfather. Also, I finally told my parents I wasn't coming home for the summer.
Tuesday, I talk to my mom, she wants me to come home. Cuz my insurance is going up, but I figure it out and I decide tuesday night I am staying.
Wednesday afternoon, I call my mom and she and I have a discussion of it. And then a bit of an arguement. Needless to say, I got a call from my Dad. He is the more rational of my parents. So he and I have a heart to heart/ logical discussion. It is then that he truly explains to me the extent of my grandfather's condition. It is at this point that I have to make a very difficult decision. Go home or stay here. I decide that I am needed at home, and that I will just have to work things out with my possible roommates for the summer. I hope that they will understand. Unfortunately, I don't have time to tell them because Wednesday night was a special event for me. I got to go and see my first big name broadway production, Phantom of the Opera. Myself, Tim Edwards, Matt Frick and Miriam Eisenmenger, journeyed out for the evening. First we had italian, and then we went downtown to the Cadillac Palace Theatre in the theatre district of Chicago. I must say the month of anticipation to see the show was worth the wait. I enjoyed it thoroughly. On top of that I got to wear a killer dress. (my first strapless one, hehehe) Anyway, when I returned to campus I got to talk to Lisa, my one potential roommate for the summer and next school year for our apartment. And she yelled at me. I understand why she was upset because it was so short notice, but it hurt me that he couldn't understand my side of it. I just hope she will still be willing to have me as a roommate this fall when I return for my student teaching semester.
Since Wednesday, things have been busy with getting things done for end of the semester. Including an all nighter between thursday and friday to finish my Chemistry Lab Notebook. Well minus my sleep deprived state at present, not everything has been horrible, but it has been emotionally draining. I just hope it starts to have a positive swing soon. Pray for me is all I can ask.

As I approach the end of my senior year of college and the certainty of an extra semester, I contemplate where my life has been and where my life will be going.
I at present am 22 years of age, and really have never lived out on my own. I mean I have been here at the dorms for four years. Unfortunately, I dont' feel like I have been on my own, cuz I always have my parents to go back to and while I am greatful for that, I need to break away and be free from that. Also, at present it is looking like I will be moving out of my parents this summer. We have an apartment lined up possibly, which should work, now all I have to find is a job. Hopefully, I will be able to find one that will pay enough for me to stay here for the summer. This will give me reedom, yes, but even more responsibility, definately. I am just uncertain how my parents are going to take the news that I am not coming home. It will definately be interesting to see how things go with that.
Also, I am worried about grades and how teaching things are going. Right now I am struggling through Organic Chemistry 2 for a second time. Please pray for me that I get through this. I really need to do well. If for some reason I don't, I might not be able to student teach this fall which would be horrible. I really can't afford to be here another semester then the extra one that I am having to put in.
As for my social life and love interest. I have decided that for now, it seems that they are going to have to be put on a back burner to ensure that I can get through this semester. All though there are a couple people right now that if something worked out with either of them, I would not mind adding them to my busy life.
I just hope that I can stay afloat. Lord, please let me stay afloat.

Right now I am playing catch up on homework and life. I am trying to get caught up on everything I put off due to spring sing and sleeping beauty. Right now my goal is to have it all done by the time I go out tomorrow, so that this weekend can be free for painting for forum and hanging out with friends. Wish me luck.
In other news, I am still single contrary to some popular beliefs. Stupid Boy. Anyway, for now I close.

I don't get it. I was exhausted, so I lay down to sleep. Then I can't sleep. There is just something wrong with this picture. I should be able to sleep, but I can't. My mind has just got too much stuff going on inside of it. It is racing and therefore, I can't relax enough to sleep. This is not good. I just wish I could get some sleep. I really need it.
As to what is prompting this sleepless night. My best guess is that I am nervous about our fish performance tomorrow and a convo I had a with a good friend of mine last night. I think the fish performance will go well, so I shouldn't be nervous, but I am like I always am when I am in a performance. As for the convo with my friend last night, there is nothing I can do to make them feel better and nothing I can do to make myself feel better on the same topic either. SO I don't know why I let it bother me, but I do. Hopefully everything will settle down soon.
Well for now, I will go and try to sleep again. Night All.

I think my body is confused as to when I am suppose to be sleeping. It is right now 3:45 in the morning and I am still wide awake. This is just not right. Not that I am complaining mind you, because I am a night owl anyway, but it is just weird to be being up so late. I blame it on the fact that I have no classes before noon so I can sleep till 11 in the morning if I want to and then if I go to bed at 3 or 4 I still get 7 or 8 hours of sleep. This is not going to be good when I have to work this summer or student teach next fall. I am so not a morning person. Never have been, but I will have to get use to being one.
On other news, spring sing is going alright. Though from day to day I am ready to scream from it. I have to try to fit back into my senior prom dress. Which means I have about 20lbs that I need to drop. Pray for me. I need to do this cuz I can't afford to get a new dress or pay to rent one.
Also, classes so far are going well, though for the most part they are boring me. The only one that is holding my interest is my Organic Chem II class. Mainly cuz I have to pay attention and do well in the class.
I think at present that handles most of everything. I just hope that everything works out from class, to work to ACT stuff.
P.S. Due to the amounts of snow that we are recieving at present. I believe that I snowball fight is in order. Let me know if you agree and when you could participate in one if you agree.

Fun times to be had, that is for certain. Went up to Detroit for the weekend and I had a blast. Met up with Mel on friday evening and we talked and then slept. And boy did I sleep. 14 hours I think it was. Anyway, had a nice long restful day, then went out for supper with Mel. We went to some German place, I don't remember the name, but I had Jaeger Snitzel. Needless to say, good food. After that, I hit the road and met up with Matt. Movies and good conversation, what more do I need for a saturday night. Nothin really.
Sunday, got up after getting to bed at 4am the night before and got ready for the Detroit Auto Show. Mel and I and two friends of her's (Chad and Chuck) went to the show, it was a blast. I can't believe what they are doing with some of the cars this year. I loved the 2004 Ford Mustang, mainly cuz it was orange, but my needs are simple when it comes to cars. If it is orange and a truck with major hauling capacity, I am hooked. After the show, we got lunch at Cheli's. It was fun, then back to Mel's for packing and good-byes.
Then it is off on the road again, but this time not all the way to Chi-town. After about an hours drive or so, I stopped in the town of Lansing, where I met up with Bud. We had some good times. Watched some tv and then off to the grocery store to get some thing. Back to his place where I made Chili for supper. Yay for cooking. Then we ate and watched movies and just overall had a blast. It was fun times. Got up this morning after an interesting nights sleep. (It was, but wasn't restful, basically hard to explain) Then proceeded to get myself ready to head out and hit the road. Was back in Chi-town around 7pm or a little there after.
But Anywhom, the weekend overall was good, though. I had fun and I can't wait for my next opportunity to go out that direction. Will definately have to see what can be worked out. Escaping from Campus definately a needed thing every now and then.

Stupid Choir Director. He can bite my ass. Needless to say, my last opportunity for singing in Kapella is gone and so is my chance for California over spring break. I just can't take it that I can sing, but that doesn't matter. He told me I had a great sound but he didn't think my technical skills were up to par, so therefore I didn't make it. I know my technical skills aren't the greatest. Its because the choirs I sang in till Schola I never had to sight read and now that I have to I am better, but not great. I am hard working though, and I know that he has peices that are difficult that they are going to be doing from last semester, but I would be willing to work on them on my own to learn them, but it doesn't matter now.
Anyway, enough of this, I am just going to go now and cry. so later all.
