Job Offer! :D

FINALLY, after searching for a job since February, I've gotten a job offer for part-time in a local cafe.
I'm so freakin' happy! I had originally hoped for a summer job & had given up once school had started. However, I swear someone is looking out for me up there. The popular cafe in town had notices put up around the school for a "weekend job, suitable for students 16 & over". My friends & I ripped down all the notices, so no one else would even dare to ask for the job, if others already had. We weren't exactly playing fair, but it's too late now! Haha! XD
I had gone in last Wednesday, before rugby training, & handed in my CV, trying to not act all weird - sort of hard since "weird" comes au natural to me! I must have succeeded though as I just received an email from one of the owners. She wants to know would I be interested in working, starting around the mid-term break in October... WOO!!!!
The only problem I have now is whether I'll be here at home or not, then. My parents plan to go up to see my extended family, up where they're from. I sort of want to go too...
Scrap all that! Dad just came into my room. He said we won't be going up if I want to work... I feel sort of guilty that they're going to change the family plans just for me. We haven't seen any of my nannies, aunties, uncles or cousins in months! I'm happy at the same time too, though. Hopefully I won't work the bank holiday weekend & we can still visit my family.
We'll see how things work out, but, firstly, I'll have email the cafe to say I'd feckin' love to work for them!!!
Well, in a more mannerly way, of course! :P haha!
I just hope now that I can keep up with the pressure of school on top of the job... I'll find out, I guess!

Anyway, goodnight! <3

Just Talk

I talked to mam today about school & how I was worried about what subjects I'll get, since the two main ones I want, & sort of need, will be against each other on the timetable this year.
I mentioned how I was sort of afraid if people will say stuff to me again this year. Like, there's no reason in my mind to say anything rude/stupid/ignorant towards me, except people still do. Maybe it's the reaction I give back amuses them.
Or, in most cases, I think, they are completely idiotic in my year group.

Last year, apparently, because I had mentioned to the principal about how I would like to study Visual Communications in third level & that Art is a required subject for this course, while Design Communication Graphics (DCG) is highly recommended, I had changed the timetable for the coming year. A large number of my fellow students somehow come to this conclusion as the principal gave out another draft of the timetable - I repeat DRAFT!!! - that suited me better than the first one given out. I'm one student out of roughly 79. How am I suppose to change a whole timetable?! It actually suited a lot of my friends better too. However, because I had talked to the principal & people disagreed with the timetable, they threw temper tantrums & blamed me, even though the principal said it was still subject to change & the real timetable would possibly be a mix of the two drafts together. Sometimes I think I go to school with a bunch of imbeciles because of this.

Also, after all that, I got a letter last week giving out a more final timetable, very similar to the first, so they've no reason to blame me for anything now.

So, anyway, I told mam about everything I was worrying about from the subjects I might have to do, to the people that I don't want to meet again this term, among other things.
I felt a lot better after this.

Talking to someone about what's on your mind helps.

Don't let it build up inside.

Don't bottle it up until you overflow with worry, fear or anxiety.

It only causes unneeded stress & anger,

So, talk to someone.

A close friend, family member, teacher, councillor...?

Maybe even on an online support forum or there's something similar to that, but over landline I've heard!

But, the gist is, it helps to get it all off your chest.

So, don't let it build up.

Just talk.

USA! USA! USA!

OH MY GOD!!!

I'm going to Colorado!

I can't wait!!!

Mam & Dad have been looking for good ticket prices fot the last week. Today, they got freakin' lucky and found tickets for five adults (over 12 yrs) €1400 cheaper than yesterdays best offer! Woohoo!!!

I'm so damn happy! This'll be my fourth time ever going to the USA - my aunt lives in Colorado with her husband. I freakin' love it there! When I'm finished my education and I've the money, I really want to move there. It's actually one of my aspirations in life - no doubt about it!

Oh, I can't feckin' wait! We'll be leaving  Dublin December 19th, stopping of in Chicago for 3 hours, & then continuing onto Denver, where we'll then have to drive to my aunts, but she recently moved closer to the city - my uncles a pilot. We'll then be doing the reverse on Janruary 6th, just stopping off for 5 hours in Chicago instead of 3.

I'm all giggly thinking about it all!

Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!!!
