Bugs! Bugs! And Even More BUGS!



I started my new job today. Woo Hoo! It may not be an ideal job, seeing as I am a little more than terrified of bugs. But hey, it pays. And if I want to stay in Logan going to school then that is the kind of job I need. You know, the PAYING kind.

So here is what I do. I dump a cup filled with dirt, mud, slime, leaves, rocks, twigs... oh yeah... and BUGS!.... out into a bowl. I then take small portions of the above mentioned mixture, and slowly sift through it looking for bugs. Me! Looking for BUGS! I then have to sort and count those bugs and put them in their rightful container. Yup. That's pretty much it. I count and sort BUGS!

Alright, so here are the benefits of my job:
1) It is on campus. CLOSE to my apartment! AND I have campus holidays, campus hours. Pretty much it's campus greatness!
2) I get paid TEN dollars an hour! That's right people, I said TEN!
3) I get to choose my own hours. Seriously. Whenever I want!!! I can go in a littler here, a little there... WHENEVER!!!
4) My boss is a grad student. (aka he is not old and creepy like my last boss joe!)
5) I can listen to my ipod the entire time I work if I so desire. Boo-Frickin-YEAH!
6) NO SUNDAYS!!!
7) NO CRYING KIDS! NO ANGRY CUSTOMERS! NO CO-WORKERS SMOKING POT! NO CREEPY OLD MAN JOE!
8) And last but certainly not least! I get to work with my cousin Kylie! (Who is a total riot and we probably have WAY to much fun playing with mud and bugs together)

You know, I have worked many jobs in my day. I am definitely a college kid job hopper. Here is a list of the places I have worked at since moving to Logan in 2006.
- Hillcrest Dry Cleaners
- Information Alliance Call Center
- Party Host at the Family Fun Center
- Cashier at Smiths Marketplace
- Seasonal Cashier at ShopKo
- Photographer at J C Penney Portrait Studio (best birth control EVER!)
- Seasonal Sample Lady for Honey Baked Ham
- And now a Lab Technician for USU

Whatever you gotta do to pay the bills right??!!!

This Aggie's BACK!


Today was my first day back at Utah State. Yippity Skippity! I have not been a USU student since 2008. It seems like such a long time! As I was walking around campus today my Aggie pride kicked in and I felt the sense of belonging that I was missing at Weber. Weber was fine and all, but I never felt any sort of connection to that school. There is just a different feeling you get on the USU campus. I can't explain it, but I LOVE IT! I am sooooo so so so happy to be back at MY school! GO AGGIES!!!!

I'll Entitle This One.... MEN SUCK!!!!

What is it about men that they think they can do whatever they want with us? They can tell us what we want to hear, and then BAM. They leave with no explanation at all. And then you find out that they had a girlfriend the entire time they were telling you that they loved you. Telling you that you had all the qualities he wants in a future wife. Telling you that he wants to date you and be with you.

LIARS!
That's what men are. Liars and Manipulators.


And then men wonder why women are such men-bashers. Gee! I wonder?!

And are we just supposed to magically get over it and move on? Just pretend that we are not hurt and betrayed? That everything is okay? And how in the world do we ever trust a man again? This I DON'T understand.

I mean, freaking A! No wonder there is so much divorce in the world. No wonder our generation our hesitant to jump into marriage these days. No wonder we are getting obese! Do they know how much ice cream it takes to get over them??!!!

And the killer thing is.... THEY ARE NOT EVEN WORTH OUR TEARS!!!
..... So why do they always, always get them??????

Avatar Snooze Fest

Have you seen the movie Avatar?

I reccommend that you DON'T!!!

I am not exactly sure why that movie is getting so much hype. Basically its a movie where you are supposed to be rooting for the tree-hugger aliens who are killing all of the Americans. Good moral eh?

I am sorry if you liked this movie. I guess seeing it in 3D was kind of cool and some of the animations were not half bad, but really, that's the only good I found in this movie. I was so bored. To me the best part of that movie is when it ended.

Well, I guess if you are a tree-hugger or an alien than Avatar is the movie for you!

The Divine Calling of Motherhood

It's late. I need to be in bed right now, but the pull to write is stronger than the pull of my night time meds, so .... here I am. T...
