Money, Money, Money...

I hate it. It brings too much stress on me.


Now, if I had the amount of money I have and things costed less, that would be just fine with me. I just hate needing things and not feeling financially stable to buy those things. I also hate just wanting to go out for Sweet CeCe's and not having the money cause I want to be able to afford shampoo. C'MON NOW.


Luckily, I have the best job in the world. Now...to get paid...


I have nothing more to say. My blogs are REAL boring. Something interesting needs to happen.

Creepers Extraordinaire

Why is it that no matter how many hints you drop to someone, they don't seem to get them?


I CLEARLY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU IF I KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW I AM BUSY OR GOING TO BED. I apologize for the caps, but it is overly frustrating! I try to do my best talking to good, normal people, but the creeps keep a comin'! My thing is, why are there even creeps in the world? I don't understand it. Why can't everyone be normal? Then again, what is normal? I could be the weirdest one out here. I just don't get it. 


My posts are so pointless.

Free to Be Me

I don't usually sing in front of a lot of people, but I'll have to get used to it now!


I'm auditioning for a public relations group. There are 2 here at TNU. Everpraise and Refuge. Everpraise is a small group that sings and Refuge is a band. I want to be in either one! I'm singing Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli for my audition, and I cannot wait. The song means a lot to me right now. It really has so much to do with my life, so it makes is easier to sing because I mean it. I CAN'T WAIT.




Peace & Blessins,

Changes

Going to college is big time. Choosing what I'm going to do with the rest of my life is even bigger.


For my whole life, I've always wanted to do something....important. In the past year or so, I've changed what I wanted to do a lot. I started out wanting to be an athletic trainer for an NFL football team or an NHL hockey team. Then, I found out the highest I can go is college cause I'm a girl. Not cool. That wasn't going to stop me, though. Then I realized how bad I am at science. Obviously, you have to be good at science to be a trainer. Then, I thought about changing my major to Mass Comm. I wouldn't mind being a broadcaster and interviewing people on the red carpet, or being a sportscaster on ESPN. 


Then, I got a job that has a cause. Also, my friend Dan opened my eyes. Missions. Because of Abba Java, I am considering doing something with missions. That doesn't mean that I am going to a foreign country to help people. There are people right here in Nashville that need my help. This is just a thought. I'm looking for a calling. The skies aren't going to open and tell me what to do,  I know that. But in the meantime, I'm going to be praying. A LOT.


Peace & Blessings,

Coffee With a Cause

So tonight marks the opening of Abba Java...for real. 


I cannot WAIT. I just feel like something good is about to happen. There are so many people already planning on coming. It should be great.


I get to work from 3:30-11:30. Awesome.
I also made the chalkboard design to announce the Grand Opening. Here it is:

I'm pretty proud of it, and my boss LOVES it!! :)

It's all free hand. 

Well, I guess that's it for today. I don't have much to talk about, except for the fact that I lost my wallet. I am freaking out.

Peace & Blessings,

Abba Java

Is it weird to be excited about a job?


Well, if so, I'm a total freak. I recently got hired at a new little coffee shop on my college campus called Abba Java. It's a quaint little place next to my dorm and it is coffee with a cause. It's not just any coffee shop and there's a good reason for that. They sponsor 67 children in Zambia, Africa. I have never had a job where the manager was soooo crazy about customer service and the way that we treat the people that we come in contact with and the coffee we serve them.


I love it.
Oh, and I'm a shift manager. What an honor. Seriously.


Love,
College Girl

Good Monday?

Today is a good day.


I only had 2 classes. Biology and CPR/First Aid. Both let out early. Score.
My brand new Macbook came in the mail. It was free. It's the most amazing piece of technology ever. Score.
I get to train for a new job. It's at a coffee shop. Score.


All in all, this is a WONDERFUL Monday. :)

Spring Break

Usually, as a "college kid", one embarks on a journey to a tropical destination with a group of friends to get burnt to a crisp and meet a bunch of random fellas. Me? I go home.

Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE home, and this break is much needed. Unfortunately, it's not warm enough here to tan...therefore I will go back as pasty white as I was when I left. Also, I won't have any fun memories made over the week to look back on with my friends at our 25 year reunion. I won't have any fun inside jokes. The thing is, I'd much rather go back with the memories I made with my family and the catching up that I got to do with my family. I get to sit around and listen to my 5 year old brother sing Phantom of the Opera to himself. I get to listen to my 11 year old sister whine about her bus driver. I get to take my 15 year old sister dress shopping for her first high school dance. I think it's a pretty good trade.

I don't think I realized how much I loved my family until I lived 6 hours from them.

Enough random babbling for today...maybe I won't take so long to blog again next time.
Until then.
