It builds character right? *should I warn then that I am a character?*

I apologize to anyone who still checks this blog for the insane amount of time it has been since I posted...

Now moving on!
I am back in school again this semester. I chose a subject I get a bit touchy on this time. Math has always been a frustration for me. I liked it well enough when I understood it but due to a lack of instruction, I was left mostly in the dark. No math background is not a problem if you aren't going to be a Science major... oh that's right! I AM ONE!!! I forgot sorry.
I have had to swallow my pride and announce to fellow class mates that yes I am a science major in an unaccredited Algebra class. This is, of course, good for me not only in facing what I am up against when it comes to my education, but also 'accepting that which I can not change', and learn a little humility along the way. 
And it is all worth it when I do understand and learn something new. I love the feeling of having beaten the problem. I suppose that is why I want to be a geologist. What better way to spend your life then to question and figure out why, or even if, something is the way it seems.

My doctor says that I have a malformed public duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, therefore I am excused from saving universes.

My New Job.

I have been working at Starbucks for the last few weeks.
Yes that's right I went to the competition *Sorry Mandi*
It's been and interesting ride that's for sure.
First I was being careful not to say anything bad about StarBx in front of my boss or fellow employees. Until I found out that they don't like it much more them me. I was quite happy to find out that I could make fun of there *frapps* and *capps* (that's frappes and cappuccinos for all who care to use the proper terms *wow I am a snob*) and tell them that their coffee smells like a box of matches without getting fired! Yay! *Hey that was kind of a pun =) woot!*
It has been fun aside from the part that involved bad coffee *and this time sorry R.J. and Shari. I'm ok with the fact that you like it!!!*
I love the girls I work with.
My boss is a very sweet lady who is old enough to be my mother but hasn't figured out what she wants to be when she grows up so she is still working at coffee shops. You don't often meet genuinely nice people at Fred Meyer.....but she really is through and through.
The vice-boss is also old enough to be my mother and hippie all the way. She has been all over the world and had interesting stories from each place. She will do almost anything and loves most of what she tries.
My other co-worker has been there a little longer then me and she is.........well.......She grew up in a pretty rough town and started fighting young. In high school she boxed and can pretty much take anyone who gets in her way. But the other side of her is a young single mom with three babies trying to survive. All this and she isn't even my age........yeah I know right......that's pretty young =) She is not unhappy in spite of all the things that are hard in her life. She does what it takes to live and does it with a smile at that.

Anyway, all that to say I may not be where I would have liked to go, but new and very sweet people make it survivable.
