Columbia House records. All you have to do is buy 5 CD's within the next two years and you can have 14 free now! I'm such a sucker. Do you know how quickly two years goes by? It's amazing. I still have to buy 4 more by August or I'll be charged for the 14 I got free. Oh snap! So, I'll go parousing through the titles of CDs that haven't sold well enough in stores and our now on sale for an amazing $14.99. I'm getting screwed! But anyway, on to more important matters; my roommate.
Okay, well, things have gone from unbelievable, to bad, to shocking and now we're at a good, there's nothing more I can do. She hates me. Though she hasn't taken the time to get to know who I really am, she thinks I'm a selfish rich kid who's a couch potatoe who doesn't like to work. You talk, but she doesn't listen. You try to reason with her and you end up on a tangent from timbukto about how her parents are homeless right now. I'm really sorry her parents are homeless, we can talk about that, but what does that have to do with coming to an agreement about the thermostat?! I swear. I wrote her a note, since talking just wasn't working. I didn't even talk about the thermostat or any stupid petty living things in it, I just let her know that I do care about her (because she claims I don't at all) and I want peace with her as my sister in Christa and, basically it was my last effort at peace with this woman. she hasn't spoken to me since and now this morning she left with lots and lots of stuff in her car. Not sure if she'll really be back. It's so crazy! My other roommate and I have been left flabbergasted and speechless. I'm praying for her now. I've never, ever been in a situation quite like this at all, and it makes all of those little conflicts with other roommates about things like my shredded cheese disappearing seem even more small and pointless. I now see how blessed I have been to always have friends as my roommates, even freshman year when I lived with Myndi. At first we were complete strangers stuck in a room the size of a shoebox together, but within weeks she was one of my best friends at Mizzou, and still is today! I have been so blessed, and now I'm praying for Charlotte. She needs it.
Luckily, I am raking in the dough at Ted's Montana Grill, so I will be able to pay for what is bound to be an enormous electric bill. Oh well, God will provide.
Jason and I got in a little put-put last night. We're not very good, but it was fun. Those holes with the slight upgrade to the hole are killer! Then we both took a round in the batting cages. It took me back to a high school date experience, only this time it was with this man I love. I can just picture us in a year, married, headed to the put-put course and whoever wins doesn't have to take out the garbage for a week or something. It's gonna be great. It also reminds me how young we are! wow, well, even though we're youngin's, we're ready.
okay, final thought. I'm taking an independent study course this summer. I have the books, and I've looked at lesson 1. Have I started? No. Gotta get to that! Until next time...
