Update!

  Quarter numero uno is almost over!! I have experienced so much over the last 10 weeks. It has been a crazy time!

I have taken 2 of my 4 finals. The remaining two are on Tuesday. Then I get to go home for a 6 week break. Eeek!! :D





Also,
I have created a new blog. Which I have been posting in a lot more often than this one. So if you are reading this blog more often, you're gonna be disappointed.
Check it out,

Look at it, follow it, love it ;)

COLLEGE!

  So I moved into to Ohio University on Friday. So far it's going fairly well. Only two problems...

Home sickness.
Horrible, depressing, bawl your eyes out home sickness.
The first night was the worst. That was horrible. All alone my first night, and I was not mentally prepared. But on Saturday my parents came back to visit me one last time and it was so much easier saying goodbye that time, and I haven't full out cried since then. My eyes have gotten teary, not gonna lie, but no bawling in a couple days. :)


Getting L O S T.
No idea where I'm going half the time. I keep taking "short cuts" that I put together in my mind and instead of taking a short cut I end up at the wrong building or the wrong street. Ugh.


Classes start on Tuesday though! I also start my new job at Nelson Dining Hall at the Grab and Go so that'll be cool. I hope? Eeeeesheflehg..

*fingers crossed*

HEY! Yeah! I'm talkin' to you!

  You know what's awesome? Having a job and being tired all the time. Awesomeness.
What's REALLY great is basically being in a zombie-like state of sleepless delirium even on your days off. Is this what it's like to be all growed up and adult-like? Yuck! Ship me to Neverland!

And jeez, I really never realized how hard I am to get along with before I got a job. I am quite literally annoyed by everyone, minus  a very select few. Of all the employees at my Generic Fast Food place of employment, I genuinely like 12 of them.
That's right. I just counted.
And I guess it's not ME who's hard to get along with... Because I'm great. It's everyone else who is lacking in the smarts department, or they are just plain rude. You know what? That is a topic all on its own. Rudeness. Why is it necessary? Why can't everyone be nice? Why can't everyone be understanding and helpful to their fellow man? These are the questions we must ask ourselves.

Something I encounter on a nearly daily basis:
Impatient Customer: 'UM. What are you guys doing in there? I have LITERALLY been waiting two minutes.'
Really, people? Sometimes I tell someone, "Hey, we're waiting three minutes on the meat for your sandwich. I'm gonna have you pull up." And they roll their eyes at you and look all ticked off. Is that necessary? No. It's really not. The person working already hates their life, because, let's face it, no one wants to work at Generic Fast Food Restaurant. And you being a jerk seriously doesn't help the delicate internal balance of the fast food worker.
Thank goodness I'm going to college. I won't have to deal with that crap forever. I've only been there a little over a month and I already hate it passionately. Not to mention, job time is seriously cutting into my movie watching time :p

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be one of those people who whined about not having a job and now that they have one all they do is bitch about it. The job really isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. In my mind I had it compared to some horrible level of hell. But really it's not terrible. Most of the time I dread GOING to work, but when I get there I don't mind so much. And, like I said, I like 12 of my coworkers, and working with some of them here and there really helps my day be happier. I am just really put off by the rudeness of the customers. You see so many different types of people there. And some of those people are very kind! I love those people! Why can't we all be the kind customers? Life is so much more enjoyable that way.

You know, on a side note, I could create and entire blog of things customers have said to me already, and I haven't even been there two months! I bet the crazies who have been there 30+ years have some real humdingers.

Anyways, I should probably retire for the evening. I'm having what I believe is a going away party thrown for me tomorrow at my grandparent's house and the star of the show needs her beauty sleep! ;)

Until another time!

Okay, okay, time for some catch-up

ONE.  Got a job. Sucks. Hate it just a little bit. Or a lot bit, whatever. But I have met some nice coworkers there who I actually enjoy. Let's just say customer service/people interaction isn't my cup of tea. People are so rude. It's really making me see the terrible attitude of humanity and American people. Everyone wants what they want when they want it and they don't want to be told otherwise. Nothing like a job at a fast-food joint to make you realize stuff like that.

TWO. Went through orientation at OU. I already met someone in my degree field who has my same viewpoints and we get along and stuff. It made me think it's not as hard to make friends as I thought it would be so that's encouraging. I'm taking a Theory I class, a Dictation and Sight Singing class, Psychology, Intro to Music Therapy, a choir class, and African Ensemble... Which I just thought sounded awesome, but it has been pointed out to me that I will probably be the only white person in there..... Never thought of that. So we'll see :P

THREE. Went to Ikea for dorm stuff today. Got lots of cute stuffffffffff. But I'm not taking any of it out of its packaging until I get to school, so I will post pictures of my dorm once I get there!  Then you will get to see it all complete, which is better anyway :)

NEW POST! Finallyyyyyy.

  Wow, so I haven't posted a blog in forever. It's not my fault, I swear! I've tried several times! But our internet likes to suck the big one, so, now I am at my grandparent's house and I decided to drop in for a quick 'hey, how'ya doin'.

  A couple weeks ago we went on vacation to Put in Bay island off Lake Erie, and it was really nice. I enjoyed myself immensely. We also went to Cedar Point and that was pretty fun, not gonna lie. I liked it, AND I actually rode some roller coasters :) Unusual for poor scardy-cat Caitlin.

  In a couple hours, we are leaving for somewhere near Columbus to stay at my mom's cousin (which makes her my second cousin?)'s house for the night, and in the morning we are going to Ohio University for my first day of orientation! Woo! I'm pretty nervous. I have to be by myself for most of the two days. I guess I have to break into that eventually but it will be a little frightening not to have mom and dad there helping me through the whole info-process. I have to sign up for classes and possibly buy my books, too. It's all becoming so real. O.o

Anyways, more posts to come when my internet isn't being stupid! Try not to miss me too much! :)
