My life as a part-time student.

The previous entry was not fully complete because I was interrupted by a visitor. By the time I came back to the entry, I had forgotten what I was typing about. Here's the 411 on my current school situation. I am taking Experimental Psychology this semester and staying on campus. I just got a job as staff on campus. Guess what my position is? A PRAYER PARTNER! Yep, I receive phone calls and pray for people from all around the world. I was nervous at first about doing it but I figure it's just like telemarketing mixed with customer service. I start tomorrow afternoon. They pay me $7.90/hour on the weekends and $7.21/hour during the week. On Saturdays and Sundays, my hours are 2:45pm - 11:15pm. And on Thursdays, my hours are 5:00am - 9:00am. I am looking for another job in addition to this job because I want to move off campus. Nee-Cee and I looked at apartments last Saturday and I found one that I absolutely loved! It's not furnished but it is 700SQ and is only $319/month. The utilities that I pay is are water and electricity. And I screened myself on the internet and found out that I am eligible for $143/month worth of food stamps. So that takes care of food. I was looking through the Pennysaver to find furniture on sale. I found some nice things, but I need more money to do this thing. Especially if I am going to stay all summer for work and school. Like I said, I am so excited about this! When my mother comes down here in March, I will show her the apartment to get her opinion, but I must put my name on the waiting list to lock down that special price.
Tara and I were talking about physical appearances of our future husbands. We are frightened that our husbands might be ugly. I told her that her man is not ugly at all. He has a really nice smile, nice dark complexion, sweet as ever (aka nice), but he has a big nose. I don't see it but that ain't my man. She said that she was worried that people would always say that he is nice but never good-looking. As for me, I was nervous because of that ghetto picture he took. But Tara said that it was just a really bad picture. Anyways, I decided that I want romance rather than good looks. When a man treats you right, you can always see the beauty in him. Personality, sense of humor, sincerity, and romance plays a large part in the looks of a man for me...now. And now to my other girl...she has a big crush on this guy we go to church with. And the brother is good looking. He's shy and quiet but nice and faithful. She's been really nice to him thinking that is flirting. I told her that she needs to be more blunt with her "flirting" but she's scared. I told her that the guy couldn't tell her that he wasn't interested because she's a good-looking woman. So I might have to step in and play matchmaker. I just don't like doing that 'cause it seems like too many games. Especially when she has other people asking him 21 questions like if he has a woman. That's so grade school!!! She's going to get it together one day. I hope her and this guy hit it off. They would defitinely look cute together. And besides, she dared me to step up to the plate too. Could I do it? I could. Would I do it? I would. Will I do it? That I don't know....probably....maybe....who knows.
I went to the show tonight and saw "Shark Tales"....and fell asleep! I rarely fall asleep in the movies, but this time I was snoring. I wanted to get up and leave but I paid my dollar and decided to stay on GP. I would never do that again. I was going to see "The Woodsman" which is about a recently released pedophile who gets a job on a wood ranch or something like that. It sounded interesting but when I got there, they said that they weren't playing that show. That is the second time that has happened. Go figure! I would've seen "Seed of Chucky" but it started later and I didn't want to wait. Well, I am going to bed now so I can get up and do some laundry in the morning.
