HELLO from Missouri. 

I just thought I would let you know that I am offically working, and in the real world.  I like my job, I have time to do things like write in my web log, and play games online.  It is 2:30, and I have been playing computer games since 11:30, taking a lunch break from 12-1.  If you couldn't tell, I'm really bored.  I should get going, but I just wanted to tell you all that I am here for good, and also I am going to be advising during rush to help you folks out.  Leslie, I'm sure you can go into hiding because of your chin.  I don't think Aimee would have a problem with that.  Hey, at least you don't have to rush.  Erin, and Kelly, I will see you all on Saturday.  Everyone drive safe, and be careful.  See you guys soon.

Well Kids I know I haven't been writing much lately, but my life has been kind of busy.  If you haven't heard already I got a job, and I'm moving to Fulton Thursday August 1st.  That would be tomorrow in my little world.  I don't think I'm ready, and frankly I'm kindof scarred.  Anyway, back to the job thing.  I am working at Stephens College in the Accounting Office.  I am the new Accounts Payable Representative.  I'm having a little problem spelling tonight if you couldn't tell because I am exhausted and I have way too much to do, and not enough time to do it.  I am however packed for the most part, and my car and dad's trailer are both loaded, so I guess there is only the goodbyes left (and the clothes in the dryer).  I am getting out of here.  If you don't hear from me in a long time, you will know that it is because I don't have my internet access set up in my house yet.  If I don't talk to you till you all go back to school, I will see you in a couple weeks.  I'm going to try to help with rush if Aimee will let me, and then I can spend some time with you guys.  I'm outie, I hope I get to talk to you all soon.  Oh ya, everyone drive safe and be carefull on the way back to school.

Hi kids,

I just thought I would tell you that I am  back, and life is hellish as usual.  You could say that last week was a waste of time, and a learning experience.  I was a totally irrational person by Friday, and I think everyone was glad I didn't have a gun.  I am now at summer camp where I am a happy camp counselor, but the only problem is that I am not so happy.  I guess it all started on Saturday when I got up in Cali at 5:30, and didn't get to Iowa till 6:30.  I then got in the car and drove to Fulton, and I didn't get in here till 12:00 am.  I didn't get to sleep till 3:00 on Sunday morning, and then the first camper arrived at noon.  Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep on Saturday night, and I didn't get much sleep last night.  My body is still on Cali time, and I am getting confused.  I get up here at 6:30 am, and that is 4:30 in Cali, so you can do the math, and understand why I am not getting too much sleep.  I can't get to sleep till about two hours after I should be sleeping.  Anyway, I just thought I would let you know what I am doing, and I think that Laura is going to let me on her computer every night during evening lessons, because I only teach in the mornings, and I sit in the office during night lessons to let the kids make phone calls, and make sure they are not telling their parents lies.  I need to get off of here so that I can finish my e-mails because it is getting to be time to go back to the dorms soon (I think anyway).  It's 8:30, and Colleen is just starting the last lesson, and it was supposed to start at 8:00.  We are running really late, and they all have lights out at 11:00.  I have a meeting with them at 10:00, and some people are not going to make it on time, because they are still going to be cooling out thier horses.  Anyway, I need to get to the dorms.  I hope all is well with everyone out there, and I will try to get on here every night to let you all know if I am going to kill everyone yet.  I only have one camper I want to kill right now, and Morgan is going to die soon too if she doesn't stop klinging on me, and hugging me every 5 seconds.  Anyway, I'll hope to talk to you all soon.

Hey, I'm writing here again because I am going out of town, and I thought I would let you all know.  I will be leaving here in a few hours to go to the airport to catch a flight to California.  Then I become a Mexican for a week, and groom at this horse show.  Then I get to go back to Fulton to play instructor, and camp counselor to a bunch of kids.  Anywho, I leave for the airport at 4 am, and it is now almost 11.  I should probably get to bed because I have to be up in 4 1/2 hours.  I will talk to you all in three weeks.  Have a good time, and don't do anything I wouldn't do twice.  Later kids.

I am writing in this thing tonight because I am getting pretty mad, and sick of all of my friends.  I have been the one to call everyone, and the one to IM everyone, and nobody seems to think they need to call me back or IM me first.  There are only a few friends that feel they can IM me first, or call me first.  I have to say that I am happy with Crystal, Kate, Katie and Erin.  Crystal is actually calling me now, Kate has always kept in touch, Katie IMs me just to tell me she is going to bed and loves me, and Erin usually IMs me before I can get to her first.  I am however getting really mad at Amy Kettle.  I have called her almost everyday for the past week and a half to talk to her about a job opportunity, and possibly still living together, but she never calls me back, so I e-mailed her about all of this stuff, and she can't even take two minutes out of her busy day (work 8-5, then go see her boyfriend) to e-mail me back.  I have talked to one of my best friends Kenny once this summer, and see him online a bunch, but he can't IM me, of course not, that would be asking too much of one of the best friends I have.  I guess he doesn't have enough time for the person he calls his little sister, and his best friend.  Then there is my "Son."  He never has time for his mom.  Every other time I IM him, he mysteriously disapears.  There is always something that he is running off to do.  I don't know if this whole thing I'm pissed about is stress, the fact that I'm going crazy at home, or maybe it's hormones.  Anyway, I am getting off of this thing now because I am just going to sit here an fume.  I don't think anyone reads this anyway, so oh well, at least I get to bitch to the computer.  Night all.
