It's Been a While...

It has, hasn't it?
So much has happened since September... Good & bad.

For instance, that job offer I mentioned in my last post? Well, I had the job in the cafe for all of roughly 3 weeks. The owner decided since I was going on holidays to America over Christmas, she didn't have much use for me, so told me I could go back in February... Fair to say I did not return.
However... I went to America! Woo! Colorado :D I love that place so much! I highly recommended the state as a holiday destination... It's lovely at Christmas.

In October, I finally broke up with K, my boyfriend. He didn't take it that well, which is understandable, but we still don't talk anymore. I found that he can be a bit of an asshole. He put me on the guilt trip for a good while which was a horrid experience...
But, during mid-Janurary, a close friend of mine, DA, told me he liked me! I mean, really liked me. It just so happened I quite happened to really like him too & we've been going out ever since. :) he's such a cute little sweetheart ^_^

I've lost two friends, J & R, over a stupid fight. However, from the way things look & have gone, I really doubt they were my friends in the first place. It'll take too long to explain, but it's honestly a whole load of immaturity on their behalf & stupidity. So much so, it makes me so angry just thinking about it. I want to smash their heads together. This happened over a month ago, I'd say, but, because D, another close friend of mine, played neutral in the whole thing, she's still caught between the two groups, (A & myself vs J & R), so we tend to be around each other, especially because our school is so small. I can't go a day of school without being reminded of it & I can't even tell D how I feel most of the time because she, understandably, doesn't want to hear about the fight. This is difficult for myself, though. There's a lot of mind games & it gets to me at times... So it angers me a little that she won't just let me talk it out to her. If it was me, I'd put aside my feelings & what my thoughts were, just to let her vent...
I might explain the whole thing another day. It's just a long story.

I do know who my real friends are now though; A, IM (Swedish friend), D & my boyfriend DA. EMA is another person I would consider a very good friend. :)
As mam said, life has it's way of filtering people out. Those that stick around are the people worth keeping.

Other things have happened but nothing overly important. I shall be blogging once again every so often so watch this spot :P

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

The Events of Today!

Overall, school was alright today. I was happy to see my friends & talk to them & the likes, but, like I had thought I would, I'm going to have to do Geography... I hate the teacher we have. I had him for four years & was more talk rather than action. I'm seriously going to have to study to insure I can do the best I possibly can! I want to get at least a B2 (a B grade in US terms, I think), in Honours Level. So, there's to be no messing the next two years!
   Also, Art & Design Communication Graphics are scheduled to be on at the same time, so I had to pick one of the other. I decided on Art, as it's required to do, to get into the college course I want to do. However, DCG is also looked highly upon, as well, as the subject is basically based on the idea of Graphic Design & Visual Communications, so I'm pissed that I couldn't do that. I even asked the Career Guidance Councillor whether I could do it outside school, or at least another way & she said it was not recommended at all. Plus I would need to be supervised by a teacher when doing the project section of the exam, over a number of weeks & I wouldn't have that at home!
   When we arrived at school, it was found that all our lockers had been cleared out & rearranged. We were to pay €10 for a new locker! This was totally new. Originally we payed €5 the very first day in First Year, when we start secondary school & then have that locker for the next six years. We thought that was great. Cheap & easy! However, now, that won't be the case we'll have to pay €10 every year & be assigned new lockers. A heads up would have been nice! I mean, back in May, before we left for the summer. That way we would have had our lockers cleared out, instead of looking for our books today, throughout the school! Some of us were lucky, like myself, where all of our books where put in plastic bags with our names on them, or, piled up neatly. However, some weren't as lucky. I know some people have important books missing & others can't find any of their stuff at all! So much for thinking that your schoolbooks were safer left in your locker!
   One good thing today was that I did get three of the four subjects that I wanted, Art, Physics & French. Even better is that I just may have the best French teacher in the school! I really hope so. She's an excellent teacher. Plus, she's so bloody sound!

Also, today, I got a job offer from Supervalu, the local supermarket. Typical since summer is now over! I was really happy though, but then I found out that it would be 3/4 days a week, one day possibly being on the weekend, while the others would be after school, 5 - 9pm. This means I could have serious problems with trying to study & get homework done... Ugh! So, after talking with some of my friends & Mam & Dad, I'm going to call the manager back tomorrow & tell her the problem, but also mention that I'd be willing to work Friday evenings, weekends & school holidays. So, hopefully, that'll help me out somewhat & I'll see what she says.

Well, that's it for today!

Goodnight <3

I Need a Job

I really need a summer job. However, no matter how hard I look, I can't find one.
Mam gives me €50 a week as pocket money for working in the B&B, but, if I did the exact same work for the same number of hours, outside my home, I'd easily make four times that!

I'm saving up for a Nikon D3100. It's a DSLR camera! I really like photography &, instead of using my iPod all the time, I'd love to have a proper camera. I plan to get lessons for join the local photography group once I can get my hands on the D3100. However, I need roughly €400 for a secondhand one off ebay. Considering I'm saving up to buy stuff on my yearly holiday on top of that, things aren't going so well... Plus, I've to pay for stuff like phone credit, necessities and things while I'm at the Gaeltacht (Irish camp).

So, maybe, I'll put up a poster for babysitting...? At night though, I'm not great with babies and young kids... God! >.< I hate, at these times, living in a rural area! Stuff is so limited! Got to keep trying though...

Wish me luck! <3

A Little Intro

Well, a little introduction to who I am should have been done first of all, but I needed to get a few things off my chest! Anyway....

I'm of the female gender, born and raised in the lovely country of Ireland. I'm sixteen years old. I have a loving boyfriend of well over a year, but I like to look at the menu sometimes - which is alright, as long as I don't go tasting anything on it! Haha! I am a little bi-curious, though... But that's for another blog!
I am, in my own opinion, moody & sometimes depressing, but my friends see me as happy and hyper, so I guess, I'm only a bore on my own, if that makes sense!
I'm an over-thinker. Again, this is for another blog,but this is a serious problem for me. I worry too much about what people think about me & I can't help it. It freakin' sucks.
I'm a bit strange/crazy, but, I like to think, that's a good thing. I would like to be an author and my craziness helps my overactive imagination. There's just a little problem of getting the stories onto paper!

I'm currently trying to think of something not exactly boring to say. I am also currently failing to do so!

I guess random little things about me are the facts that I play rugby for the local and the U18s Ladys' Team for Connacht and I love art. Also, I love to read and I want to be a Graphic Designer (any attempts at being an author will be on the side).

There is probably other things, but I can't really think of anything...So maybe ask some questions, if there's anything you want to know. :)

I should sleep now - it's nearing 2am!
Goodnight... <3
