Going to the Bahamas~

Which isn't a big deal really, but I like going new places (>'-')> I hope my mama will be super surprised. Bitch keeps asking questions.

Game wise: lol, funny how the one Salvage group that I thought would make it ended up imploding on itself as our leader just up and quit. Some established groups out there but they are only for bosom buddies. Seriously, if I were to ever bother hopping servers again (doubt it, as I hardly even play anymore), it would be for this reason alone.

>_>

The more I think about it, the more I'm sure I won't stay~

I went afk

Came back

And saw that some members from Apoc had joined us.

..../welcome.

This is one time I'm gonna take my father's advice and just WATCH.

My mom and I pooled together and decided to buy my father an ipod touch for his birthday on Friday. He stoie the ipod video I gave to my mother to use for himself so we said--hey, let's get him one with a bigger screen.

For the summer, even though he doesn't have to, he's teaching in the projects. Apparently he's always careful but today he decided to watch a flight training video on his ipod video before starting class. When the students came in, he ended up putting it back up in his teacher's locker.

By the end of the day his ipod was gone. They ignored his wallet with about a hundred bucks, his bank card, his credit cards and everything and took his Ipod.

He's really upset about it (which is rare). My father normally shows little to no emotion. But when my mother called me today to ask me if I thought it was a good idea to give him his gift early to make him feel better, I could hear him raging in patois in the background. Apparently he may quit because

"ME NAH WALK FO NUH TEEF. IS TEEF DEM TEEF"

..."I'm not working for any thieves. They're all thieves"

;) If you didn't get that transcripted patois.

Oh, okay.

You're right. But it does take the bigger person to be the better person.

Well, I am conceited anyway, aren't I?

So I totally took a Denali hat because well...I could? I didn't expect to win the lot but I did and as Ksus rightly said, it's in the past and I can't exactly undo it.

But to do the hat justice I guess I'll actually level something that can wear it.

Any suggestions (>'-')>

No one had a problem before we started so I don't see why it should be a problem after.

Whatever. Fucking hypocrites.

Thanks for being there. That's sarcasm, by the way.

Drama at work.

Let's see how this plays out O_O

So.

I got offered a full time job at the night job.

....I don't know what to do. Split myself in half and keep doing the split shifts or leave the prestigious school in the morning to work at the place at night full time.

...my parents are actually debating it. lol.

I'd write up the pros and cons but I'm just still "...wow" about it all.

As much as I dislike my aunt, I'd respect her more if she made a formal request to have me removed from the house.

I keep to myself everyday. In fact, I see my room as a place to rest my body and nothing more. I wake up at 6:50 go to work, SOMETIMES go straight home to arrive at 2, take a small nap, head out for my other class at 4:30, teach from 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM get home around 10:40 PM, make a lesson plan/maybe play FFXI for an hour then go to bed.

That's my daily routine.

I don't interact with this woman, we don't have time for chit chat. I don't even like her so I won't force myself to do it.

That doesn't stop me, however, from putting away HER dinner when she goes to bed and forgets about it. Washing HER dishes when she leaves them in the sink for days. It doesn't stop me.

But honestly? I went grocery shopping yesterday. I bought a box of soy milk and I guess in my hurry I forgot to put it in the fridge.

The place where the carton was left is the favorite seat my aunt takes at her table. That means for approximately 30 hours she saw this carton of milk--she even moved it to the side so it was laying on one of its side, hanging precociously off a side of the table, and didn't have the DECENCY to put the shit in the fridge for me, or even ask "Hey, Tara, is this your milk? You left it out here".

Today was her birthday and against my inner voice, I bought the bitch a card. I knew she went out for whatever the reason and so I didn't think we'd cross paths for the rest of the night so I left her card on the table--I do this with the electricity bill money too by the way.

So, she ignores the card. I overheard my little cousin going "Aunt Alcia, you have a card for you!!!"

Her: "Oh really?"

Then the conversation died.

I came out of my room to toss something in the garbage and where was my card? Tossed underneath a pile of her bills.

One of the reasons I fought tooth and nail against my mother about buying her the fucking thing but my mother said---it's the right thing to do. Okay, see if I do it again.

Now--I am going to formally hand her the card and you know what will happen?

Her: Oh...thanks. 

And then she'll toss it somewhere else.

I won't be surprised, but I know for damn sure who will be getting shit from me.

My other aunt forced me to come out of my room earlier to sing Happy Birthday. I actually love this aunt, so I agreed. She was cutting slices of cake and this second aunt had to be like "Don't forget about Tara"

Her: Oh...yes. Tara.

Not that I wanted the cake, but DAMN. Okay.

Seriously, if she came to me and said "Tara, I'd appreciate it if you vacated the premises in the next month" I would actually shake her hand and say---ohei, thanks for growing a set.

But she won't.

In the meantime, I'm saving mah moneh and planning for the future. Ph.D program or move out? I'm going to have to sign up to take the GRE at some point.

Nevermind!

Puss nuh know what dog nuh like. I won't let it hold me back.

I need sleep, bad.

Salvage annoyed the fuck out of me last night for more than one reason. I can't put my finger on it, but I definitely felt how I did when I was in High School.

Probably due to the lack of sleep. But I'm sure that's not the only reason though.

I want to make a post saying that everything is back to normal, but I can't @_@.  Would be untrue. Things were back to normal yesterday--it was the start of the weekend, I ran out and did something for myself for once. If you missed the window, I'm sorry :(

So now I have two jobs.

One is teaching this VP Japanese guy for three hours in the morning.

The other is teaching at my old job which restarts tomorrow.

I'd normally be happy but they're having me teach the troublemaking class!!! UUUUUUUGH. And the stupid secretary didn't tell me what I'm supposed to teach on the first day.

So rowr at that.

I am going to warn all you sillies nao. I don't want to hear any emo later! This is going to be my first week teaching at two places so I am going to be veeeeeeeeeeeeerry quiet on MSN/in game.

I am NOT ignoring any of you (Nicky, Erica, Ana---three people I speak to the most on here. I'm NOT. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT). I am probably trying to get some sleep in between classes! First class is 9-12 then I am going to rush home, try to get home by 2:00 PM (:( No express bus for me. Regular old train, boo) take a nap for two and a half hours, rush to work for 6:00 PM let students out at 9:30 PM, rush home--get home by 10:30 PM--quickly do my lesson plan, probably start it on the bus or something, then go to bed by the latest 11:30.

...I'm going to be a very tired Tara~!

Today's plan:

Laundry
Buy fruits and milk at the market
Buy a metro card
Run over to the clothing store to see if they have anything new.
Run over to the shoe store as my new flats were destroyed by the rain, WTF.
Iron
Try and make lesson plans for THREE days for my private student.
Try and guess wtf I have to teach these students at night for tomorrow.
Bed by the latest 10:30.
 

Okay, so now one of my old students from the past two weeks wants me to be their private tutor too.

*face palm*

I'm loving that I'm getting everything I want but...

Okay, seriously? I'm tired. @_@ I don't even want to know what it'll be like when I start working at the other place again next week.

Why the FUCK do I psych myself out so much? -_-

Oh God

Wendy Williams is coming back *face palm*

I'm scared as fuck about tomorrow. Thanks for all the well-wishes guys. I'm just afraid the dude is going to just sit there and stare at me for two hours >_<. Having a heated discussion with a certain someone the night before surely didn't help at all.

Well tomorrow's plans include:

Work
Gym
Clean my room some more
Relax--or write a lesson plan. All depends on how tomorrow's first lesson goes.

So much for having an opinion and thinking you could have an educational conversation with people. I have to remember: when people ask me "what do you want?" or "what do you think"--it's not like they LITERALLY CARE.

Oh wellz~ Lesson plan done and now I'm ironing my clothes~

Today at the job I'm substituting at--by the way, this has been extended to two weeks O_O ---I had to take my students on a field excursion. Basically, get them the fuck out of the classroom so they can actually USE the language we learned this week.

I decided to take them to the Botanical Gardens.

Last night I was depressed because I thought they'd hate it. And you know---me being a perfectionist, I want to make everyone happy.

But they LOVED it. Bitches ran off without me. THey had two hours to walk around and participate in this Scavenger Hunt I wrote up for them.

They told me they really loved the place as well as the activity so I am all smiles~

Today is also the last day of my night job for the next two weeks. Mini vacation! Conversation class and we're just going to watch a movie. I don't know which.

Maybe a Pixar movie like Ana suggested.

This weekend is dedicated to getting Raph's SAM to 37 and finishing off his DRK. '-' Let's see if the bastard can actually stay awake.
