so todays the last "official post" that I'm going to do. perhaps I'll update this every so often, I kind of like it. and even though, you all know who is writing this by now, the security behind it feels nice. none of my friends see this blog, and not even my boyfriend. I wouldn't care if they did, in a way, but I feel like I'm writing to myself and getting some feedback here and there. I guess I'll go back to my original blog idea for the last blog...but on the other hand, Michael is going home within the week and is doing well!!! Praise the Lord.
so...my vent this week is about Love. I'm sure we've all been in it, and i'm sure a lot of us have fallen in love fast, or slow, or it was a train wreck, or it's perfect etc. and I've been in all those places at some point or another. but it really irks me when girls are in SERIOUS relationships one month, and then get over him fine...ii've been there, circumstances can change things. and its okay to fall fast, but when you're annoying about it and talking about marrying him, and baby names, and you're just super clingy it gets annoying fast. Especially when you know the reason they started dating in the first place, and the reasons you stay around. sure you may genuinely like someone...but to want their money and for them to spoil you...you're just a brat.
girls.....they realllllly get under my skin haha!
until the next time...!

another update:)
So, this semester my main focus of this blog was to vent about things...but a few weeks ago everthing was put into persepective for me...why am i complaining about stupid little stuff...i'm going to come across annoying habits, people, and personalities, but complaining about them won't help...so again, today I'm writing about my brothers friend Cpl Michael Fox. i'm shocked at how far he's come, to see pictures of his smiling face, and positive attitude all over facebook just makes my heart to so warm. i can't imagine all the emotions he is feeling, a long with his family and really close friends. he's a fighter!! I think most people forget there is a war going on...I know I do. Now more then ever...10 years later as we are still fighting this war. take some time to thank our military, write a card or send out a care package, anything you can do to help, they reallly do appreciate. Now more then ever. The holidays are so lonely for the military personnel and familes who wait patiently at home for them. I have included the news article of Fox, a facebook group for him and his guys in the platoon still over seas, and a letter from his family. there is also his address at the bottom if anyone wants to drop a little card of encouragement or thanks to him. Most refer to him as Fox, or Michael, or Mikey.
you'll have to copy and paste the link...it wouldn't let me create a link...

Corporal Michael Fox was seriously injured in Afghanistan on 11/15/11 when he stepped on an IED and lost his legs. He broke his left arm, and wrist -At this time he can’t move his left arm. He was sent to Germany, then Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Since arriving in the US, Michael had surgeries every other day. These surgeries are grueling, painful and tiring. He is thankful to be alive and considers himself lucky. Michael is in great pain but he is facing these surgeries with a very positive attitude. He cares about the people surrounding him more than himself. I am so proud of Michael, I am in awe of his wonderful personality, and the intensity of his inner strength. In my eyes, he is a brave superhero! He is loved by so many people; he comforts others at the hospital and especially his buddies still in Afghanistan. I am so proud to know him and to call him a part of MY family. Not sure when he will be able to come back home to San Diego.
I ask everyone please pass this story to their family, friends, and co-workers; print it and put it everywhere you can think of . I want to get his story to as many people as possible and ask that if you can please take a few minutes to drop him a line or two of support from the community. Schools could ask a class or two to make a card for him for Michael or his fellow troop members. This season please express your thanks for the selfless acts from men and woman far away from home that keep us safe. During the Christmas holiday can you please spare one of your Christmas cards to let Michael know that his sacrifice is appreciated from the people he took an oath to protect?
You can send well wishes during this season not only to Michael, but to all troops that are still in harm’s way. Even one card can make a difference in someone's life. You might never know how much until you do it.
Please send your well wishes directly to Michael at the following address:

holidays
Back on track now with my normal Blogging....This week, I think I'll write about presents...now my family isn't rich by anymeans. we live comfortably within our means, and don't have fancy things, just nice things. we all work hard for our money and what we have, so i think this is part of the reason why this bothers me.
I know this happens all over, and I don't mean to sound mean, but it's just really irritating to me, when everyone just concentrates solely on presents and getting getting getting. Christmas isn't about presents, and if you don't believe that, that's okay, its a free country. But to hear and see people who get EVERYTHING handed to them, want more and more, and then ask for extremely expensive things it is so irritating. especially a few people i know. It's awesome if mommy and daddy can buy you your car, and pay for everything. But i'm sorry that's not teaching you anything. My parents can help me out, but I've been working since i was like 9, being a 'mothers helper' and eventually working at daycares and restaurants. I've held two jobs and gone to school full time. I know the value of a dollar, I know what it's like to have money to spend, and not enough money to even sleep....(which i am beyond grateful for my parents that can help me out when i need it). but really....do you REALLY need to ask for that 400$ wallet? or that 800$ purse? or that 80$ shirt? or those 175$ shoes? that's just horrendous to me. if my parents were wealthy enough to give me or buy me that kind of stuff awesome. maybe start getting some nice clothes or things like that, but save the rest and I'll put it as a down payment towards a house or car. why waste hundreds of dollars when you can get something that's just as cute or nice for idk...40... a 40$ wallet, and 90$ purse..fine it's a special holiday...but really..? HUNDREDS? tell your parents to send me the money to pay off my school loans, my car loan, or my car insurance, while I work and go to school.
something on FB really sparked my interest and nerves today...o:)

quick post!
so last weeks blog was a depressing one about my brothers friends hitting an IED and losing both of his legs in afghanistan....but this one holds good news. He will be okay! just will have a battle to fight for the rest of his life, but he's a fighter and so determined, I'm sure he'll be back on his bike in no time. still just a sad situation...
lets see what else...last saturday my boyfriend took me to disney on ice. now I'm never one to love childish things, but this show was awesome! I LOVED it! and he did too! We're both suckers for Disney movies, so it was a great time! even if it was filled with kids everywhere...(I work at a daycare so I didn't mind!) and he might've liked it because it was at the devils stadium...haha but he said he enjoyed it! and this weekend we're going away to Ricketts Glen, to hike and hang out at whatevers out there...probably not much. His parents went not to long ago and they loved it! so I'll let oyu know how our big hike goes! It's a little over 7 miles I think so I'm stoked.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be Thankful for living here in the U.S. :)

Thankful for...
This week is going to be a little different...it must be the holidays that does this to me! I'll probably blog again on sunday because I have such an exciting weekend ahead of me..but for today...I have a different blog.
long story short..
http://www.pomeradonews.com/2011/11/29/rancho-bernado-high-grad-seriously-injured-in-afghanistan/
I can't seem to shake these thoughts, of what these poor guys will have to endure for the rest of their lives. It hurts me to see what Fox, and all that know him will have to psychologically endure for the rest of their lives. we can't even being to think what he is actually feeling...or his family...or close friends... I may not be one who supports war, but really who is? I do know we have to support our troops. If you don't stand behind them...feel free to stand in front of them. In leu of Veterans day, and thanksgiving day coming up. Be thankful for the marines, and other military personnel protecting your freedom. They put their lives on the line for all of us. Even if this war ends, anytime soon...these men and women will be fighting battles for the rest of their lives. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers daily, because we will NEVER know exactly what they see and go through over there. I couldn't imagine having to push through every day, especially when a brother is hurt of KIA...

why??
I was going to write after this weekend, because I have so much going on...but....I'm sitting in the grand study hall doing my homework, and some sort of Kean team is here, but I can't tell what sport they play... but I do know they are having "study hall" together, if you even want to call it that.
I am such a people watcher, and I must admit I pick up on things pretty well. These guys are so loud! Don't they know that this room is used for quiet studying? they can go and talk outside of this room, but I feel like his room is reserved for quiet studying, or sleeping. Thank God I'm not working on anything important because they are really annoying. I don't see anyone from class here, so I know I won't offend anyone, even more so because I didn't specify the team. Anyway, they should be more polite and quiet! They are representing Kean, and yes I know we're all Kean students here, but really? whatever team this is, I don't like anymore and probably wouldn't support haha
Like I've said before I'm around guys a lot, and grew up around guys, I'm not a super girly girly who get's offended about things...but boy are these guys vulgar! I don't think I have heard a sentence that didn't talk about sleeping with a girl, or hating a girl but still sleeping with her, or what they would want to do to a girl... or just cursing about this and that. They sound so arrogant, pompous, and crude. I mean don't get me wrong, half of them are working and being quiet, and a few of them moved away to work, but maybe five or six of these guys are just awful! I just feel like they should be more respectful. 1) be more quiet in here 2) there are women around and you are all being extremely disrespectful, its even making me feel awkward sitting here and 3) you all sound like idiots, and everyone is getting mad at you (and when they recognize someone is mad...they just trash talk them.)
I guess I just hold high standards for adults, because once again, that is what we are. And I don't mean that in a stuffy way, because let's be for real and honest these are the best days of our lives...but haven't they learned respect or manners?
Why do people do this? would you say something to them, or ask them to lower their voices??

Personal Space
I'm not too sure what has happened over time, but it seems like recently people are just so nosey and don't abide by the "personal space" rule anymore. First off, if someone wants to tell you something they will, even if you have to ask a few questions, they will either open up or deny you, you cant pry information out of someone. (yes I know sometimes, we as humans want someone to sort of pry information out of us, because it makes us feel like we are cared about but thats a different topic) I'm talking about just being nosey with general information about friends, or boyfriends or who you like, just stupid stuff. I feel like telling half the people that ask me questions it's none of their business because I only see you IN school. I don't even have your phone number, nor do we talk outside of this class that meets once a week. Why do you think I would want to tell you about my past or current problems. Perhaps it's small talk you want? That's fine...ask me what I did in the past week that I haven't seen you.
I love talking with people, and I'm like an open book, but don't ask me such blunt, personal questions when you're literally inches away from my face. Get to know me first, and I will tell you anything you want to know.
This vent isn't just coming from me too, I was having a conversation with a real friend about this the other day, and it just bugged me out. I feel like nothing can really be private anymore and the sanctity of friendship is dwindling away, with all these nosey acquaintances and social networking that allow you to know anyones waking move if they allow you too. And don't get me wrong I love 'creeping' on peoples lives and finding out new things, its human nature. I just think there is a way of doing so, and a time and a place.
**ALSO** sidenote....I was looking online at bags and a wallet...yes a wallet..was 400$.....I'm STILL SHOCKED...

continued...
I said I would write about my Halloween, which was A LOT better then I had expected. Because of the snow there were a few people who couldn't make it but that was okay my main concern was the girls lol One who got there, noone likes at all, just because she cant have fun and all she wants to do is get high and sleep and were not into that haha. She wanted to leave within the first hour I'd say...which was really annoying because her boyfriend was having fun. and the other girl was my friend from school who is "with" my boyfriends friend. So it was all good there.
My boyfriend, his sister and I ran around like crazy before the party clearing snow, running to shoprite, and i had to straighten my hair and make cupcakes and brownies and taco dip all within an hour and a half. Thank God I got my haircut in the morning so I didn't have to wash and blow dry it....But everyone started to come over around 7 ish just because the roads were bad (which i understand it took me an hour to get to his house instead of 30 minutes!). We all had a great time between games and just goofin around. it was definitely one of the best nights i had in a really long time. Since it was his party all his friends came, which i'm friends with too but you know how that works. It was all fun though because I get a long with his friends, they're all great! I could go on more about my night but its the kind of thing that you'd have to be there to get, or know the people. But I'm just happy with the outcome, little to no drama, no stupid,annoying girls, no super drunk idiots, good food and good company. I usually don't care for Halloween too much, but after this party I'm already thinking about next year and what I can be. It has to top my ninja turtle outfit from this year!
Anyways, I hope you all had fun at your Halloween parties too, and that stupid snow storm didn't mess anything up!!

Halloween and People!
This blog is going to be a two part blog, just because I'm so anxious for Halloween, and because I want to see the before and after thoughts and experiences are like this weekend. I only have one halloween party to go to, and I've only been to one other one in my whole life, so I'm pretty excited. My first one was at Rutgers, which wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be, but my friends house wound up getting a 500$ ticket because of noise...but this year will definitely not be like that haha.
This year I'm going to one at my boyfriends house, with our friends from three different groups. They all semi know eachother, but they're all fun and I know it's going to just be a blast. There will only be a few girls there which I'm happy about, because while Halloween is the one day to dress like a slut, and be accepted, it's still really annoying when the girls act the part, or act like bimboes. The girls there should be good, but I'll come back and make sure I tell you how it goes. I'm going to be a Ninja Turtle so I'm rretty excited. I was getting so bored of the same costumes that you see every year, but I haven't seen this one yet. Hopefully of the 5 or 6 girls going noone else is a ninja turtle. I Love seeing everyones costumes, I'm pretty stoked about them. ?
Overall I think it's just going to be a great time, with drinking games, and games, and just hanging out, which is what our group does best. (minus the drinking, thats more of a special occasion not a weekly occurence haha) Anyway, I'm not expecting drama of any typ, maybe just some observations about Boys vs Girls which I love to do...but I'll let you all know what's up when it's over:) Hope you all have a safe fun halloween weekend!!

Boys...
So last week I wrote about girls, and this week the lucky ones are the boys! I just wanted to mention that again these are things I have noticed in my own circle of males I have known through the years through people or personally, it is not a generalization so don't get offended (for those emotional boys:) ).
I grew up with two older brothers, so I have been around guys all my life. Matter of fact I would say I get along better with guys. They are down to earth, they say what they mean. They don't normally sweat the small stuff, they're funny but of course there are some down falls.
I think the first thing I want to point out(which can go for girls too) but why do some guys feel the need to curse so much!? I'm not offended by cursing, but its just down right so unattractive(and a lot of girls will admit that too). It really doesn't make you cool guys, its just really annoying to be honest. I mean a curse here of there that's fine. but when you 'curse like a sailor/trucker' It's not something that girls would really find attractive.
Next on my list. is hygiene! ughh boys, boys, boys! you cannot wear the same outfit three days in a row! and thats not even a fashion thing! thats just a hygiene thing. you have to change your boxers and your socks and probably your shirt too! jeans could be different because you can re-wear them. But really....shower everyday. BRUSH YOUR TEETH at least twice a day. and just be put together nice. just because you're a boy doesn't mean you HAVE to be gross. (and not all boys are gross, and some girls can be gross..but i mean...people pleaseeeee)
Lastly, you dont have to be a showoff all the time. girls like confident men, but we like it when you make us feel special. don't ignore us, put up with us when we're being crazy and bitchy, because lets be for real we are crazy and bitchy, but its kinda you're job to put up with us:P
It's harder to write things about boys, probably because I can tolerate them more lol and because I know as females we are confusing, but you boys can be JUST as bad, if not more bad sometimes. I think most women would admit the guys in their lives PMS too...
That's it for today, because that is what first came to my mind. I'll make sure I think of some good ones for the next post!

I'm not offended by cursing, but its just down right so unattractive(and a lot of girls will admit that too). It really doesn't make you cool guys, its just really annoying to be honest. I mean a curse here of there that's fine. but when you 'curse like a sailor/trucker' It's not something that girls would really find attractive.
Next on my list. is hygiene! ughh boys, boys, boys! you cannot wear the same outfit three days in a row! and thats not even a fashion thing! thats just a hygiene thing. you have to change your boxers and your socks and probably your shirt too! jeans could be different because you can re-wear them. But really....shower everyday. BRUSH YOUR TEETH at least twice a day. and just be put together nice. just because you're a boy doesn't mean you HAVE to be gross. (and not all boys are gross, and some girls can be gross..but i mean...people pleaseeeee)
Lastly, you dont have to be a showoff all the time. girls like confident men, but we like it when you make us feel special. don't ignore us, put up with us when we're being crazy and bitchy, because lets be for real we are crazy and bitchy, but its kinda you're job to put up with us:P
It's harder to write things about boys, probably because I can tolerate them more lol and because I know as females we are confusing, but you boys can be JUST as bad, if not more bad sometimes. I think most women would admit the guys in their lives PMS too...
That's it for today, because that is what first came to my mind. I'll make sure I think of some good ones for the next post!

Girls....
Now this is going to be a very broad non specific generalization about Girls...I've just noticed a few girls lately in and out of school that made me want to write this blog. It's really sad actually, but at the same time it makes you question a lot of things.
I feel that now as adults, we should all be making better choices then sleeping around with random people, and having no self respect. I wouldn't call myself a huge feminist, because i'm very old fashioned and feel that the man is the head of the household (in a sense, because I still feel like compromising and communication is key) and women should be doing more of the child rearing, cooking, cleaning etc. (NOW before you jump the gun this is what I feel for MYSELF, every situation differs but this is what works for me). Anyways, where I'm getting with this whole feminism thing is, RESPECT yourselves, don't let a guys attention or sexual advances make you just give in to whatever they say or do. I know as females we need the emotional aspect, and if a guy tells you that you are beautiful over and over again, don't just give in and sleep with the guy. I feel like a lot of girls I know will give it up to any guy who meets their emotional needs. and chances are girls, you'll probably have some sort of attachment to a regular friend with benefits of some sort, its in our being as girls.
Also, since we're all adults now...guys do not like stupid girls, they don't like needy girls, and they don't like you to whine and be obsessed with them (again, I'm just talking about my observations through relationships around me). Guys like confident women, who can do things on their own, yet still need a guys help. Guys like to be respected and they like helping us out with things that we can't do. But when girls get needy, play dumb, and whine about little habits it just seems like common sense that its a natural turn off. From growing up with guys, and having close guy friends, it seems like everything girls think guys like...they don't...
I guess what I'm getting at is, just be yourself. One day, when you're not looking (which is key), some guy will sweep you off your feet, and you'll have that fairy tale that you always dreamt of as a little girl. But for the time being work on being independent (yet still allowing for guys to help you and do your job), be as confident as you can be ( i know this is a Very hard task for many people both girls and boys), and please have more respect for yourselves, guys don't think its attractive when you're "number" is 15+ guys....
and don't worry...I'll have my observations of guys next week.
**just remember, these are my own observations of a few relationships and people around me.**

Awkward.
So once again I had to rack my brain to find something to write about. I went to a wedding last night but there wasn't much to say about that besides it was gorgeous and a perfect night for everyone there and involved. Here I am with not much to say, but I guess I'll ask a question.. What do you do when you're in public and you know someone and they know you, but not enough to have a full on conversation with? or perhaps its your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, or ex-best friend, and its just a really awkward situation...I HATE moments like that!! It happened last night to me at the wedding and this kid was sitting at my table, and clearly kept making eye contact with me and I just had no idea what to say, especially since I don't like him . I said Hi and smiled and was obviously adult like and civil, but it was just reallly awkward. He seemed to want to talk to me but I didn't want to talk with him at all, after all that he did to hurt my best friend. I'm pretty sure he knows I'm not a fan of him too which made it even more awkward. Now if we were to have talked or whatever I would've been pleasant and friendly, but it was kinda on the fence of if you talk I will but you go first (from both of our ends). Now I know I'm saying I would've been civil and acted like an adult, but avoiding him probably wasn't the most adult thing to do to begin with haha. so basically...what do you guys do in awkward situations like that??

no venting here!
My last two posts had a lot of venting, probably because I was just in super grumpy moods. Today is different though. Today I woke up a a decent time and decided to get things done. I cleaned my room, I went through old papers and such, organized things, did three loads of laundry (so much clothes!). I felt really accomplished. What really put me in a good mood was being home with my parents. During the school year I'm always so busy with school, work, homework, and seeing friends and my boyfriend, and today I was just home with them. Its been quiet and lonely since my brothers aren't around much any more, the one is in the Marines so he hasn't lived at home for some time, and the other is always working or with his gf, so family time is always nice, even when it's just my parents and I. My mom and I spent some time showing each other good songs and videos on youtube to share with each other, and then my Dad and I baked an apple pie together, something we haven't done in a long time. Sometimes I think he forgets how old I am, but part of me just thinks he isn'y quite ready for his baby girl to grow up. I'm positive making that pie together meant as much to him as it did me (even if he put raisins in it!). Anyway this blog today is a different one than my last two, but with the perfect temperature weather, the smell of a baking apple pie and hanging out with my parents, I didn't know what else to blog about. It makes me really sad and ache for some people who don't have good relationships with their families, and some people's parents are no longer here (by different circumstances) and I really hope I'm not offending anyone or making anyone upset, I'm a big believer in being grateful for what you have no matter how much or little you have. So, today, I'm grateful for my parents, the two people I can always count on and turn to, the two people who taught me right from wrong, the people who taught me that hard work and being truthful and loyal will get me far, the people who taught me and showed me what life is really about. Today I encourage you to tell someone that you love, how much they mean to you. I'm sure they'd appreciate it:)

Bad Drivers!!
What a long week it has been!! (since the last time I blogged at least). I'm sure you all feel the same way I do..it's the end of September, and just completely and utterly drained! The good news is there are basically 2 months left of school...and a few weeks, but I like to not think about the few extra weeks...the bad news, just when we all start to get into the swing of classes and get use to managing our time, we have to start cramming for midterms and writing midterm papers...oh the joys of college.....
Anyways, what I really came on here to write about is BAD DRIVERS! We as NJ folk, know that anyone who doesn't live in NJ are bad drivers, or so we all tend to think...which yes..could be true..but there are a ton of bad Jersey drivers too. I hate when you're driving and EVERYONE slows to 10-15 mph under the speed limit because of a cop. helllooooooo!!! he/she cannot and will not pull you over if you're going the speed limit! Unless you feel super guilty about something you're either hiding in your car that if he/she were to pull you over wouldn't like, or if you're speeding a lot or talking on your phone- I can assure you they won't pull you over. Even if you're doing I don't know 3 or 4 mph over the speed limit, I highly doubt they will...no police officer would want to waste their time doing silly paper work for someone going 3 mph over the speed limit. Also, txting when driving or talking on your cellphone when driving...we're all guilty of it I'm sure. I know I am, but the thing is, (and not sure if I should be proud of this) I'm good at it. I can text and not look at all, maybe just glance once or twice. (And for the record I don't text when I have other people in the car). It just seems like 99% of the time, when you get stuck behind someone there either A: really old or B: txting when driving or talking on their cellphone( and are middle age) and maybe its just an assumption, because people around the age of 50 years old, just aren't as tech savvy as us...but anyway...its just really, really annoying. They think our generation is messed up and 'screwed', but their the ones in the left lane chatting away on their cellphones, about who know's what, doing 55 mph. I'm not sure if you're trying to get us NJ folk to slow down in life and not be in a rush, or just annoying every last ounce of us. Whichever it is, please stop. If you absolutely HAVE to talk to whomever-pull over, or stay in the right lane (the one for the people who want to do 65, or in your case 55). Which brings me to my last and final point, if you have to txt and drive or call and drive fine...but the only time I deem it okay is if 1. you're really good at it, and can still abide by the law and rules of the road 2. if you do not have anyone else in the car or 3. If you're not holding up traffic or slamming on your breaks every 10 seconds because you're not paying attention.
Hopefully one day everything will be so technological that every person will have a car that is linked to their phone and they can talk-text or just talk out loud in their cars.
So here's to hoping, we're all safe, and stop using our cellphones when driving! Its a good goal right?? because it is very unsafe, but I do admit I am part of this 21% in this article:

what ever happened to manners?
So, I really waited until the last minute to write my blog, but most of it was on purpose (and the other part was just a super busy schedule). I just really wanted to find one thing to really start off this blogging process on. I have so many things I can rant about, that you all have thought of at least one time or another, but just have never said. Which is what I LOVE to do. I love to watch people, and be real. I would never say anything to anyones face, just because I don't like confrontation, but facebook is always a good out for something annoying that someone does (like talk on the cellphone obnoxiously loud when you're trying to write a big paper, that you're already not too focused on). I thought a blog would be even better for this "people watching", because lets be for real...you ALL see these things, and maybe some of you will be guilty of whatever I noticed that week, but we all are guilty of it at some point or another, because..we're all human.
This week was jammed packed with tons of things to write about, but on Monday something really struck me. Where have all the manners gone? Now I know Kean has students from 18 years and older, so we're all adults...at least we should act like it. Perhaps it's just me, holding high expectations of todays society, but at the same time I don't care where you live, where you grew up, if you're poor or rich, male or female or anything...you can still be nice and polite! Honestly, it doesn't take a lot of effort, and deep down it will make you feel a whole lot better, along with everyone surrounding you. If you're rude, my guess is that you're cranky(harsh I know) and 99% of the time if you're rude you're probably going to make someone else cranky for a little bit too. It's really not that hard. People say a smile is contagious, which is so true! This goes for manners too, I can assure you! Next time you're walking somewhere or someone gives you something drop a little 'Thank you', or 'Please', or 'Excuse me'. Just be chipper:) Lifes too short to be grumpy, and bring other people down!
Now after a quick vent I suppose I will tell you all what happened that made me so cranky....It was about lunch time, I was starving, and tired already, but I was still content with the day, nothing major had happened. So I was stopping in the bathroom on my way to eat, to wash my hands, and as I was leaving I saw a girl coming around the corner, so I stopped and stepped out of the way to let her through, when she just barged on by with not even a ounce of gratitude that I was letting her go, not even an excuse me or thank you! Now, maybe it is just the way I was raised, and I most certainly am not tooting my own horn, but after her friend walked right by, made eye contact and looked at me with disgust (probably because I was in a good mood), and didn't even use any type of manners it just really made me more cranky. You're probably 20 years old, whoever you are...old enough to have been outside in the real world for sometime, and know how a kind, well mannered adult should act.--So, please please act like one:)
I'm sure this sounds like a nagging, venting rant, but I just had to get it off my chest! I'm sure next week will hold plenty more optimism:)
