I think I'm doing pretty well at updating this thing now.I mean you really can't update Myspace or Facebook about your daily happenings, you know? Anyway, I'll try to update you about yesterday and today's happenings.

July 22nd - I really didn't do anything until 6:30 when Elizabeth picked me up to go to Nate's house. We got there and realized that her and I were going to have to find something to do, because the boys were playing basketball. Nate was nice enough to fix Elizabeth and I quesadillas, but then we got left to do the dishes. After that, Elizabeth and I raided Nate's room and looked at his yearbooks and stuff. Then finally, around 10pm, Nate's cousins came over so we could go swimming. Yeah, it was a tad bit chilly outside, but the pool was pretty warm so I stayed in the pool until about 11. After that, Elizabeth and I got out, some other people followed, and we all just hung out until about midnight or so. I stayed at Nate's until 2 and then came home, because I had to work in the morning.

July 23rd - This morning I woke up at 10 and got ready for work. I made it to work with about ten to fifteen minutes to spare. Surprisingly, work went pretty fast today, but there was a lot of people out there that wanted to complain today. "Sir, I'm so sorry but my receipt printer is not working, if you go to the Service Desk I'm sure she'll be able to get a receipt." Well, he didn't like that and wanted it right then. Thankfully, Michael fixed the receipt printer to where we could print this guy's receipt out. Anyway, there was a lot of other people who decided to put their two cents worth of complaining. After I got of work I came home and my mom and I went to Wendy's. Then we went to Hollywood Videos and got two movies. We watched Because I Said So tonight, which was freaking hilarious and sweet - an ultimate chick flick and/or mother/daughter movie. But now I'm just typing this thing up. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that's all for now. I'll update tomorrow, hopefully.

     Wow, by reading my last post I can tell that I don't proofread my entries very well. Anyway, I thought I'd update once again. So I'm thinking I should give a day-by-day of what's happened since I've updated last.

July 14th, I had to work from 11am-4pm. I swear, it was about the longest shift I've ever worked. I mean, technically, it was the same amount of hours I usually work, that being five. Goodness, though, it felt like those hours crept by until some of my favorites came in and worked with me. K*mart had Patrick, Melissa, Diana, and I all work together. Time basically flew by after Diana and I had Harry Potter discussions and when Melissa, Kayla, Diana, and I realized we all got along pretty well.

July 15th, I worked once again, but this time from 2pm-8pm in Fashions. This means I got to return returned clothing back to their proper place, straighten the clothing, then return returned clothing back to their proper place, straighten the clothing... well, you get the point. This shift didn't drag on, but gosh, I had the worst sinus headache during the shift prolongly my longing for going home.

Okay, so about that whole day-by-day thing? Forget that, this summer has just been a whirlwind of events; however, I must tell you about Friday.

July 20th, I got up early so I could make my second trip to WVU-P this week about financial aid and such. My mom went with me and we timed how long it took me to drive out there. It takes about fifteen minutes, surprisingly. There was a lot of people out there, so we got everything out there accomplished in about a half an hour. After that, we went to K*mart to get my paycheck. I really hate how K*mart gives us our checks on Friday, but dates them for Monday; therefore, we can deposit them, but we can't use the money until Monday. In my case, Tuesday, because I deposited my check after 2pm. After that, my mom and I went to Taco Bell. I got the new Chicken Taquitos, they're pretty amazing. Nate called me while we were there. He was on lunch from Wal*mart and was heading back. He asked if I wanted to go roller skating with him, Carter, and Hannah. I couldn't turn that down, so I basically did nothing until Nate picked me up to go to Skate Country. We were there from about 8 until 10 or so. I freaking wore a blister into the back of my ankle. Oh well, I had fun even when Nate and I fell down. After that, we got something from Rally's to eat. Then his two cousins came over and we waited to go to Wal*mart to get the ever anticipated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm really glad I went with them, because I got to see Sarah and a lot of other people from PHS that I haven't seen since graduation. After that, we went back to Nate's house and had a discussion about cars. Okay, well I didn't, but Eric, Derek, and Nate did. After we got bored there, we went to Derek's and played Halo. Yeah, I played Halo...not well, but I tried. After that, Eric and Nate brought me home. That being around 2am, I didn't quite feel like getting up early, but sure enough... 8:40am, I had to get up to take care of my neighbors' dogs. Once I came back home, I realized my little cousins were here to be babysat. Thankfully, I wasn't the babysitting, because I went back to bed. Actually, I tried and did get a few good winks in, but Emily was bound and determined to get me up. Anyway, I haven't done anything today. Today in my mind: July 21st. Of course I didn't do anything today, because all my friends, including my boyfriend, are in hiding reading the Harry Potter book. That's okay though, I'm suppose to spend time with Nate tomorrow.

Currently Reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) By J.K. Rowling see related

     I was just remembering how much I exactly missed Xanga. I mean, think about it. Myspace isn't really about express your thoughts or how your day/week went. It's more about how many friends you can get and/or how many comments you get on your pictures. I mean I really wanted to update my Myspace about how I got three shots today, but then realized that nobody on there would either a) not read it or b) care enough to read it. I'm also pretty sure no one's going to read this post, but that happens, right? But wow, how things have changed since the last time I updated this thing. I don't even know where to start.
     First, I graduated from high school. That's right, I'm a high school graduate. It's actually weird to say. Anyway, the last time I posted, I was going to attend West Liberty, well, that's changed too. I'm now going to WVU-P. I know, I know, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Secondly, I'm no longer dating Eric. I'm sure that's another weird thing to say. However, we've been officially (we broke up the day after prom, too) "broken up" since May 27th. Yeah, it was the day after graduation, but all things considered, it was "a long time a-coming." Anyway, I'm now dating a wonderful boy named Nate. It's pretty odd how we never knew each other through our time at PHS, but I'll thank K*Mart for introducing us. Come to think of it, that's another thing that my poor xanga readers don't know. (Right, like I still have faithful readers.) I'm an employee at K*Mart and have been since April 28th. I plan on working there during college, unless I need more money then I might have to reconsider. I'm pretty sure there's things that I've forgotten to mention about my "interesting" life since the last thing I updated this thing and the only things I can think of happened in the past two days. First, I got my AP Language scores back yesterday. I freaked out when I got home from work and saw the envelope from CollegeBoard. Usual me, cried and shook as I opened the damned thing. I was so relieved to find out that I got a three on my test. That means I can skip English Composition 101 and go straight to the English class that I would be taking next semester. I'm pretty proud of myself. I know that a three is the minimum for credit,  but I still get credit hours for being "semi-intelligent." Secondly, I got three shots today. I know I'm not going away to college, but I decided that I still get the shots that I would have needed. Today I got the Hepatitis B, Meningitis, and the HPV (Gardisal) vaccinations. I go back in September to receivee my second dose of the Hepatitis B and HPV. I also go back in January for my third dose of those two. Besides that, day is going to be pretty exciting. I don't work until tomorrow, so I'm going to go see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Nate and others. I know, back in the day when Harry Potter first emerged, I could stand reading the books or watch the movies, but now that I'm taking a second look, I'm actually pretty interested. That reminds me, I'm going to go finish (or at least attempt to finish) the first Harry Potter book.

I'm actually thinking about updating this thing every once in a while, but I'm not keeping any promises.

Tiffany just had an epiphany!

    I don't mean to get all religious and all, but then again, I do. Today I've realized that I'm not showing in any way, shape, or form that I'm a Christian. For goodness's sake, I had someone ask me if I was a Christian. I've come to realize that I can no longer be uncomfortable with going to church anymore, especially North. I'm not going to impress anyone or for the social/drama part, I'm doing for my relationship with God. I know, I know, pretty heavy stuff for me to be talking about, but I mean it. I don't think going to church tomorrow would be right, at least not yet. I'm going to have to work my way back in and I'm really hoping Eric helps me. So this was a short entry, but I had to get it out and put it somewhere. I feel like this is just the beginning of my new beginning...

Just remember: It's not really the Easter Bunny that causes celebration -- it's knowing someone died for you; making it all right to make mistakes along the way and the ability to be forgiven for them. Yeah, I so totally just wrote that! I feel good, even if it is 1:53am.
