Pretty and out of place

Pretty and out of place, you wonder how it got to this space
dark and dilapidated, no home, being suffocated
Out of place, oh this space
And yet Pretty's still their, wavering as the dark stares
Only to be fair, It's not polite for the darkness stare
To bad Pretty brought yourself their...

Summer Quarter in Pitt

SO I got through my first week of classes. My teachers are pretty sweet, and my classes aren't so bad. Math teacher she's awesome, which is good becuase if she was a bitch, there is no way I would make it through this quarter. I have this old guy Pence for drafting and theory/development of form; he a hard ass but funny in his own way. He's totally the type of teacher you either love or hate. Then for English I have this mid-thirties dude, who is awesome. He has this really interesting accent, its like British/American/intelligent professor voice, I love it. He has an awesome teaching philosophy, so I'm interested to see if I do better in English because of it.
I also got a math tutor, hopefully I don't fail math and have to pay for another class. I would be extremely pissed if that happened. Overall you would think having more classes would suck, but being that I have little to no friends in pitt, and my boyfriend lives in Boston; its nice having something to do tues-thur. and then the weekend I fill my time with movies and hw. Sounds kinda pathetic but its the only way I make it through each day.
Moving into my new place has helped out on the loneliness factor. Sara and Stacy are great, and its nice to chill and watch tv with them and help with engineering stuff. I can ride my bike around Oakland and go shopping, but it kind sucks doing it alone and when your broke. Being in Pitt I just feel like I'm losing everyone back home. It's hard to keep in touch and sending a text or having a phone convo just isn't the same. I miss my late nights with leigh going all over and party hopin, and I miss chad and our movie car hangouts and having someone to go to shows with, and I miss just sitting in abbeys room chilling and sewing and watching movies. I miss everyone. Even if I do end up making friends with people here in Pitt, it will never be the same, there will never be another group like "the boys" and no one like Leigh abbey or chad, and shows our here could never compare to home.

So I'm super depressed right now, I'm going to stop rambling about things I can't have or can't change.

I'm just going to continue to sit in the dark and listen to Joy Division....

My Head is Going to Explode

After debating and debating and killing myself over what I want to do with my life, I have finally come to a decision to what I want to major in. The downside... there aren't that many schools that have family consumer science programs. I have spent days trying to find a school. All the schools I have looked at are either jeezus schools or in the middle of now where. One school I called because it look like a good area, and they told me they are eliminating the program. Like WTFrick. Bottom line at least I have a plan, now I just need to find a school that I wont want to kill myself at. (PS looking for schools in PA, NY, RI, or MA, keep and eye out)
PLAN TO BECOME COSMETOLOGY VOTECH TEACHER/FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE:
-Finish AIP in Dec.
-Go home and go to Lansdale School of Beauty for teaching license/go to BCCC get A.S. in EDU.
-Over the summer during break attend 6 week program for special effects makeup
-Find a college to get my B.A. in Education, and M.A. in Family and consumer science


WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS...
-I will first finish Cos Teaching school, and will get a job at a salon/sub teach at a beauty school and continue at BCCC.
-Then I will finish 6 week program for special effects make-up, and do freelance work with that, and continue at BCCC, and working at a salon/sub teaching at beauty schools
-Once I finish at BCCC I will transfer to some school not sure yet, and do freelance make-up/hair, and work in a salon
-Once I'm done at whatever college I'm at I will teach full time at a beauty school for two years/freelance/salon, and then put applications in for votech school/F&CS jobs and see if i get anything.

This is my plan so far, the thing is I'm really good at making plans and setting up for the future, but I have a habit of changing my mind and not going through with all of my elaborate plans. Lets see how long this escapade will last...

wish me luck.

Starting New

I have made a few trips to the Boston area this summer break, and they were worth the creepy Grey Hound bus rides, and 8 hours drives because of god awful traffic. I had so much fun and met some cool people, I can't wait to go back. The city is real sweet, the parks are so nice. Probably the best part of my adventure, is I found someone that's super sweet and knows what they want, and likes me for me and is ready for me. I think Boston is a good place to start new, make new friend (keep the old ones as well), and to have fun. New atmosphere and a little change of pace is good. Downside Pittsburgh is way far from Boston, but there are ways to work around that, I'm not worried.This 4th of July weekend was great, I went to Providence RI, which I did not know was a pretty cool place. I got to ride in a Roadster car, and cruised around town, probably the most American thing to do; Hung out with some new people and acquired a boyfriend. Starting new is working out pretty well so far, I can't wait to see what else is in store for me.
