Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.

In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
and knock on doors
for trick or treat.

Tonight we are the
king and queen,
for oh tonight
It's Halloween!

Is It Friday Yet?

Well today was my first actual paid day of work and it went well. There weren't any kids there yet though haha. Tomorrow half of the kids will come, and then Wednesday the other half will come. Thursday will be the first day with all the kids. I'm excited, but also a little nervous since they will be 4 year olds and some of them have never been in school before now... it should be interesting. I just hope I can do everything that is asked of me. It sounds like I will be doing a lot of getting papers ready and things for the kids, but also I think I will be doing a lot of crafts... which is fun, but at the same time makes me worry I'll be spending a ton of time trying to find crafts to do... we'll see how that works out. I'm not dreading going to work yet, which is a good thing haha but I am dreading getting up in the morning. I have to get up around 6 or a little after and I am NOT a morning person at all.. It's killing me! The only nice thing is that I am technically done around 3 to go home. Once everything settles down and we have the room all set up and ready to go and the kdis have been there awhile, I'll probably get to leave close to that time, but for now we'll see. So far the teacher has been wonderful about letting me get home, but I've been staying because I know there is a lot to do. 4 more days of work and then its the weekend.. yay! :) I think Korey and I are going to try and go on our free carriage ride this weekend, depending on the weather and then use our restaurant gift certificate to go out to eat! I'm looking forward to that and sleeping in. I miss spending my whole day at home with Korey... sleeping in... relaxing and watchign movies all day... going to the beach (when it was still warm). Well I better go get ready for tomorrow and get to bed soon. I think Korey and I are at least going to start watching a movie tonight haha! This Blockbuster thing has definitely come in handy!.. Night ;)

Yucky Rainy Friday

Yay.. It's Friday! Boo... It's rained all day. :) Today was another day full of setting up the new classroom. It was another good day. Everyone seems very nice and the teacher i'm working with is sooo positive. I really think this job will be hard.. but I think I'll enjoy it. I'm really hoping I enjoy it. I'm going to miss my days of sleeping in and hanging out with Korey. It was a good month to just relax and spend time together and WATCH MOVIES!! I'm so glad it's the weekend but I wish it was not raining. It has rained ALL DAY! When I got home from work today Korey had cleaned the whole apartment and our kitchen table had arrived and he had it all set up and ready to go! It was a wonderful surprise-I was so happy!! Especially since I had bathroom cleaning duty... but he did it all! Tonight we went to see Saw 3. I thought it was good, it was disturbing as usual and that was expected haha. It was also very gruesome.. but that was also expected. Not sure what we will do tomorrow. We want to go on the haunted hayride they have around here, but not if the weather is as crappy as it was today. Sunday Kody will be coming through town with his girl and I guess they are stopping to see us so we'll see what happens there. Other than that.. no big plans. I start working for actual money on Monday haha.. but the kids won't be there until Tuesday. There is a meeting for parents Monday night though which is going to make Monday a looooonnnggg day. I'm really going to be looking forward to the weekends! Night for now.

Hump Day

It's wednesday.. half way through the week. Yesterday morning I found out that I got the original job I interviewed for. I start working next Monday as a teacher assistant. I have met the teacher I will work with.. she is nice.. but most of you know the whole situation surrounding even getting this job haha. It's crazy. I just hope that I enjoy it and that I do a good job. I may be going in later this week or this weekend to probably help get everything set up. I'll have to write about how everything goes once I get started.. hopefully they will be Happy blogs haha. I'm going to miss my days of lounging around with Korey. We've gotten to watch a lot of movies! Blockbuster online came in handy! Today Korey and I went to the movies and saw The Prestige.. it was really good. There aren't many movies I don't like though if you talk to me.. so you'd have to go see them for yourself to see if you like them :) I'm excited that its Wednesday.. not just because the weekend is closer.. but because it's ONE TREE HILL night! But I don't really have any other big exciting news or things going on.. so I guess this is all I'll write for now. Halloween is coming up! I don't know if we'll do anything or not. Probably not on the actually night of Halloween since I'll have to work the next day... but even this weekend I dont know what we'll do.. other than go see Saw 3. But anyhow.. bye for now!

Well this weekend was exciting.. for me at least! Korey and I decided to travel this weekend to Wilmington. Our goal was to scout out some Tree Hill stuff! We went to the studios where One Tree Hill is filmed. We got to walk through the sets where stuf is filmed.. it was great! It was fun to see how it really looks compared to how it appears on tv. They had some sets closed off, but we got to walk through Dan and Deb's house, Haley and Nathans apartment, Brooke and Rachels room, the locker room, we saw the cars that people drive on the show.. we even saw a set all ready to go for an episode that must be in the future.. so it kind of gave some things away possibly!


The only bad part was we saw noone famous haha (and you can't take pictures of the sets).. but they don't film on the weekends and they don't give tours during the week.. plus the people who work there never see them and say that its easier to see them downtown than at the studio unless you work for the show. After walking through the sets we traveled downtown to the waterfront to have some lunch. We walked around and saw some other places that were on the show. The cd store where tyler hilton worked on the show, Karen's cafe, the river court. I really enjoyed it and I wouldn't mind going back and even taking the tour again since new sets may be opened up or things may be different if we go back. Maybe when Courtney visits :) Today was a bad day for Steeler fans! Oh well, hopefully next time. Today was a lazy rainy day. I did manage to get to the Gap though finally to purchase my "red" shirt. Tomorrow is my interview for the job I don't even want. So again I'll be looking forward to it being over.. which it should be done by 10:30 at the latest! So wish me luck at making my way through it and having this hopefully over with. Everytime I think I can relax about it, something else happens to stress me out!

Your 2006 Summer Anthem Is

Stars Are Blind by Paris Hilton "I can make you nice and naughty Be the devil and angel too Got a heart and soul and body Let's see what this love can do Baby I'm perfect for you"

What's Your 2006 Summer Anthem?

Rough couple of days

Okay this is going to be short because I need to go to bed. The past few days and job hunting has been stressful. I got that interview, then the teacher i would be assisting calls me and tells me I'm too overqualified to be an assistant I should take her old teaching job. I don't really want to teach. That wasn't my goal here, I'm not even sure if its what I want to do in the long run. That's why I applied for assistant jobs, and for the fact that I won't be here that long. So I go in to see her class and talk to her today and its crazy. Big mess of stuff at her school and everything.. I won't go into details.. but it just stresses me out even more. Then I'm told to go to the main recruiting office to get some clearances, and of course I go there and ask about it, and they look at me like I'm crazy because that isn't the way it works. I'm so sick of this, and if I don't have a job with the schools by Christmas, I am definitely looking elsewhere after the holidays.. I don't need all this crap and stress. Makes me miss home even more and the good old subbing I had there and potentially a job at the only school where I ever really enjoyed teaching. Blah blah blah... okay enough complaining for now.. most of you already heard about it already. Nite!

Yay Steelers!!

Well this is a much better Sunday than the past few :) The Steelers won! yay :) Other than that I did not do too much today. Korey and I did try out a new church today. It reminded me a lot of my church back at home. We might try out a different one next week just to see what a few of the churches are like don here. We started watching Inside Man before the game but didn't have time to finish it, so we are probably going to finish that now. We went to the Steeler bar for the game and it was fun, especially since they won. Korey had his Steeler tie on at church and some guy even made a comment about it. The guy was from Pittsburgh and even knew where Bville was which was exciting haha. I'm hoping this week goes well and that I hear from the school some time about the interview I had.. even if it means I have to go back again and be scared! Next weekend I think Korey and I are going to take a short day trip to investigate Tree Hill stuff :) But for now.. that's all.

Lazy Day and Ghost tour

Today Korey and I basically just sat around and relaxed. We went to the grocery store and blockbuster and then on a ghost tour at night but other than that it was just a nice relaxing day. The ghost tour was fun and interesting. We heard a few different stories and walked around town. We went into a cemetary there and took some pictures that I'll add to this post. Pictures finally! :) The one story they told us was about a girl whose father put her in one of those family things that are above ground in a cemetary and she wasn't dead... I couldn't completely understand the guy talking but korey thinks the girl was in a coma or something.. either way she was alive and when they opened it her body fell out and they say that if you put your ear to the key hole she will whisper to you. I was brave and tried it but didn't hear anything. Korey wouldn't even try it.. chicken! I have a picture of me with my ear to it haha. It was a fun tour so if you come visit we'll have to go on one of them! Tomorrow Korey and I are going to try out a church in the morning and then we're off to the Steeler bar later in the day for the game. Hopefully I hear something from the school on Monday, I am starting to worry again. I at least hope I get called back for another interview. Well anyhow.. I'll keep writing as often as I can.. hopefully someone is still reading :)

One Interview Down

The interview today went well. I was pretty much told I should be called back for a second interview. That made me feel better, but now I also really want the job so if I don't get it I'll be bummed, but I'll have more confidence now for other future interviews. The job the interview was for sounds very interesting and would be rewarding, I'm excited to find out either way. After the interview Korey took me to Sonic to celebrate :) Then we went to the beach in case there aren't any more nice days. It was 80 some degrees here and from the sounds of things I should be glad I was down here instead of back in bville and that area. Did it really snow guys? haha 40 some days until we come home to visit. I can't wait! I really miss some things about Bville and I still tend to call it home. I miss my family and friends of course, but I also kind of miss when the weather just starts to get cold, because its not really doing that yet here. I miss good old home cooked meals that I do not have to cook myself haha. I miss my small town where I can go somewhere and most likely run into someone I know. But It's nice here too.. there are a lot of new things to do. I don't have to drive so far to go to a mall or movie which is a plus! But I guess that's enough for tonight. I don't know if anyone still really reads this or not haha, but I'll keep writing! Love you all!

I got an Interview

I didn't wait TOOO long to write again :) This morning I woke up to my cell phone ringing and it was one of the schools I had applied to be a teacher assistant at. I have an interview tomorrow at 11. Wishe me luck because i'm TERRIFIED!! I have never had an interview before. I don't even have all my nice clothes down here and I am freaking out. Korey is happy because he thinks this could lead to more money haha. Me, I'm happy I finally got called because now I don't feel like I'm a complete failure. When i was hearing nothing back from my applications I was worried. Now that I have heard I'm scared, and a little excited, but until it's over tomorrow I'll be mostly scared. Then If I don't hear anything back again, I'll probably go back to thinking I'm a failure :)... Just kidding. At least I got an interview finally, and if it goes horrible, I'll suck it up.. (probably cry a lot first).. and then hopefully I'll get another one. Enough for now, that's about all that happened today. Korey and I did go see Departed to help me take my mind off of the interview. It was a really good movie, I liked it! But okay, I really am going now. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.. although most of you who read this will probably know before you get on here and read it.. but anyhow.. GOODNITE!

Monday's are not my favorite day

Well this weekend was fun but not super exciting. Korey and I were going to go on the ghost tour with our tickets, but it was full, so we had to reschedule that and we're going next weekend now. On Friday night we went downtown to go out with some of Korey's friends. It was fun, but it wasn't as fun as going out with my friends, and it made me sad. I ended up sending text messages to people telling them how much I missed them. It has been pretty chilly here lately so the beach has been out. It seems the weather has changed, and maybe there will be no more beach days.. it's sad. Also, I have not heard anything from the jobs I applied for yet, which makes me extremely sad.. so today I have applied for 5 more, but I am not getting my hopes up. So I guess that is basically all I have to write about, its sad I know haha. I'll try and do something more exciting this week or weekend so I actually have stuff to write about. I need to start taking more pictures again too. We did actually hang some pictures up around the apartment which made Korey feel better I think haha. Well I'im off for now.. hopefully I won't take too long to write again!

What Superhero Are You?

You Are Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And pretty cute too. No wonder you're the most popular superhero ever!

What Superhero Are You?

It's been awhile... sorry!

Sorry I haven't wrote in awhile for those of you who actually read this, and check to see if I write stuff! I haven't done anything real exciting since I last wrote on here. I've gone to the beach again, swam laps, exercised at the gym. Korey got some not so great news at school and it turns out will be down here longer than we thought, which isn't so bad. Yesterday I got online to print off applications to apply for more jobs and discovered they changed the whole process for applying and made it a pain in the ass so now I have to figure out how to apply for some more jobs this weekend.. grrrrr. I really don't even want a job, but I promised I would get one, and the extra money would definitely not hurt! Thank you to everyone who sent mail!! It's exciting and fun to go to the mail box and actually get something other than junk mail and coupons. I think Korey and I are going to go on a ghost tour tonight using our free coupons we got last weekend. Tomorrow Korey is going somewhere with a friend in the afternoon and I'd like to go to the beach but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate with me for that so we'll see what I end up doing. At night Korey wants to go downtown and see what's going on so maybe I'll actually have something less boring to talk about tomorrow. I can't believe when been down here for over 2 weeks already. I think I'm ready for a visit home though haha. The countdown isn't going quick enough! Well enough writing about boring stuff, I'll try and make sure I don't take a week to write again next time.

It doesn't feel like October here

Well It's October already but the weather here is still warm! Okay, so on Saturday Korey and I did venture downtown, but I forgot my camera. Sorry! I took a few pictures with my camera phone but I'm not sure if they turned out well because I haven't put them on the computer yet. Downtown was fun and very interesting. I wish I would've taken more money to shop at the market, but walking through was good enough for now haha. We ate downtown and then we went to a movie. We saw School for Scoundrels. Korey and I both liked it. It was funny! Today we went on a tour and listened to a sales pitch about another timeshare type deal. The deal was actually good, but we already have one. We only went on the tour for the free tickets and stuff. Now we can do the ghost tour we wanted to do for free, the carriage ride, and we have 25 dollars to spend at a variety of restaurants, so it was worth it in the end. We then spent the rest of the day at the beach of course! It was a nice day for the beach. There wasn't a lot of wind so we got to play with the frisbee without it going everywhere, and the waves were nice. Hopefully tomorrow we will figure out how to do the laundry here, and then who knows what else. Hope everyone else is keeping warm! :)
