Today, dad bought a large fish tank. So I guess that ends his battle of thinking about moving. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Fish just aren't my thing. But I may make it my thing due to fish being the only kind of animal that Columbia will allow in the apartments.
Saving money is getting hard with Red Robin cutting into my pay bit by bit thinking I have no idea. The only reason I can't just take them to court with receipts of how many hours I work and how many they pay me for is that it will cost alot more to take them to court than I would make. Plus the large hassle.
So I keep at being a slave for $6.15 an hour. I'd never recommend another to work there. Nor will any of the other guys who've been there for a while. I've only grown to like one of the managers. But I have nothing bad to say about the others. Talking negatively about my employers isn't my thing because it would not be fare to them. I don't think they hold blogs about how much their employees put them through. So I don't.
I've never grown to like anyone I've ever worked for. I often feel used and well under paid. I'd ask for a raise but I've been told that they cannot afford it. That's ok. I feel like moving into retail and I bet target can afford me.
I hear back from Columbia on wednesday. I get extremely nervous every time I think about it. I'm totally confident but if for some reason, they say no, then I will not know what to do. I'd have to finish out my term in fayetteville and transfer somewhere else. I would not like that. I'd hate it. I want to leave this town as soon as possible. I don't want to be one of those people who work for the city or retail at 45 years old make 30 k a year a double mortgage because that's all I can do.
I'm better than that. I want to rise to the top or die doing what I love. The fact that I've had a gun pointed to me twice in my life and neither time I was afraid makes me think I'm gunna get cocky some day and get shot in the face.
Well, this has been quite full of random ramblings because I don't have much on my agenda besides saving money, paying bills, school, work, and doing whatever the hell it is that I do on my free time.
But the stories will pan out as events come up, such as being accepted and all the things on the agenda after that.

PS you'll never see the word "very" used by a professional writer. Because it is not professional. However I am no pro so I will use it very often. I also use apostrophes which also happens to be very informal.

I decided to start a new blogger. To be honest, I've been blogging for maybe 6 years on xanga and their "upgrade" drove me to find another blog site so I've come to blogger for escape.
Plus I have accepted the this will begin a new chapter in my life. Well, not the blog starting it but the new blog being the written proof that I have started my next chapter.
So every time that I need to do some hardcore thinking and just get away from the busy life of being a student and working at red robin, I take a walk at the cape fear river trail.
It seams that every time I hit a new chapter, it's there. I can't explain the feeling of walking that 8 mile trail.
I am ending my last semester in fayetteville attending a community college and then I will be packing my bags and heading to the big city. I journey to chicago to "learn how to give and take."
I will be heading to a liberal arts college.
I'm excited. I have some fears of the unknown. But that's never stopped me in what I want. I could say that, "I have faith God will provide." But honestly, I don't believe in that cliche. I don't think God will provide nor has he before in my life. Not very many good things have come from god into my life.
But those words shall be shared on another day.
