12:17 pm - OK, so it's been a while Here is an update on my current situation: Still working at the park on weekends. For a while, I was enrolled as a part-time, non-matriculated student at Ramapo College. That didn't last too long because I couldn't afford the tuition payment UPFRONT, when I was told I would have monthly payments. Because I was non matric, I wasn't eligible for financial aid... so I applied to be fulltime matriculated, beginning in January. However, one good thing that has come out of this is that I am still taking voice lessons and singing in all of the ensembles and shows at Ramapo..... Thanks to the wonderful Dr. Barbara Gordon, who has basically kept me from going insane until January. I auditioned and made it into both the Madrigal Choir (Voices) and the Musical Theatre revue (Street Singers). I am so excited, because I love nothing more than performing. I have two solo numbers in the Cole Porter revue that we are doing for Street Singers. She even asked me to sing the national anthem at Convocation. and I did. and it sucked because I was sick. but that's beside the point. I finally feel as if the hard work and time that I have spent on music is finally paying off. On another note, I still need to pay the bills. So I have been doing nothing but fill out job applications and go on interviews for the last month. I was hired by Ramapo College as their cheerleading coach.... or so I thought..... I guess to them "You will hear from us next week because we really want to get the program started" means "You will not hear from us again." So, while I was shafted from that job, I was in conversation with Sparta HS, Sayerville HS, Mahwah HS, Wayne Hills HS, Lakeland HS, and Fair Lawn HS about coaching positions. There was one slight problem, you see.... in order to coach anything on the high school level in NJ you need to have a substitute teaching certificate, which requires 60 credits. Not a problem, so I thought...... until Elmira College wouldn't release my transcripts..... ah yes, the school that I loved so much and had so callously tossed me aside was now screwing me over big time. I didn't even know how many credits I had! Needless to say, despite my abscence of credit, a wonderful person gave me a chance. The athletics director at Mahwah HS hired me on the spot to be their assistant cheer coach. When I explained my problem to him, he answered me with an optimistic "Don't worry, the season doesn't start for another 2 months, I'm sure you'll have it all figured out by then." WELL, I wasn't going to disappoint him. So I searched my room for HOURS to see if I could find my most recent grade report from Elmira. Surely it had to say somewhere on it the number of credits I had...... and it did...... 54. DAMN! I was getting so close. Then my dad informed me of CLEP testing..... exams that you can take that give you college credit. I signed up for 2 of them (worth 3 points each)...... and 5 days later...... BAM 60 credits! BOOOOYAH! So, now that that was settled. I still needed an income for the present though. After all, my monthly expenses are as follows: $200 student loan, $100 EC, $50 credit card, $50 car payment.... and I'm $700 in the hole on my student loan...... ouch...... anywho.... I just got a job working at a kennel..... so I get to play with doggies all day for $9 an hour! This is totally awesome. Also, I may be coaching at Wayne Hills this year too.... but I am not sure about that..... now, this is all fine and dandy, but what I really want is to coach at Lakeland... BUT they already have two coaches.... terribly inept coaches...... the girls hate them. SO, I spoke with their AD, who I know from when I went to school there, and he said that I could be a volunteer coach. That's fine with me. I have a killer routine made up, and I really want to save it for them. That's about it for me now..... still missin cheerin at EC..... and my girls up there..... but I'm going to visit in 10 DAYS!!!! :) p.s. I love Donna Current Mood: optimistic Current Music: none because I'm at work

05:01 pm - False Alarm....... Sometimes I really don't know about myself... Update on the ranger situation..... for the love of christ, I feel the same way about her as I do about some other rangers at work....... same with some of my male co-workers even...... it's not a crush, it's admiration..... Sometimes my stupidity is alarming On another note, our nationals tapes came today and I must say it has made me miss cheering more than ever (that and an email from a former teammate who is incredbly unhappy in Australia)..... so I have decided that since I will be getting myself in shape for the police academy anyways, why not try out for an open team inmy area>?! Halelujiah, I'm a fucking genius! p.s...... there's a creepy weird girl at work who likes me..... not a fan oh yeah and I miss my girlfriend Donna :) Current Mood: ditzy Current Music: beyonce, crazy in love.... makes me wanna dance:)

09:21 pm - My new life.... Well, to update you a bit on how things have been going in my life.... We were 10th at nationals.... totally disappointed, but what can u do when people are fucking retarded and can't do their stunts..... a week after we returned from nationals, I got a letter in the mail saying that I was "dismissed" from Elmira College due to "financial purposes... outstanding bill"... I tried to fight it, but no can do.... thus, as of April 19th, I am no longer a student at Elmira College... Since then, I decided that I wanted to take the next year off from school to pay off some of my loans and bills.... I decided that I wanted to be a nanny, so I went onto a nanny website and put my resume up..... needless to say I got a job in 3 days! The family I was working for was so wonderful--- adorable, wonderful kids--- 4 of them! However, the mother was a fucking nut job and basically turned me into her slave.... in a bad way..... I would like to say that she is perhaps one of the worst parents I have ever seen..... soooo when I tried to negotiate a salary raise.... since $150 a week is ABSURD.... she decided that she would rather find someone else that would take her crap for the ridiculous salary that she was paying..... so that was what I did for a month... Then, work at the park finally started! WAHOO!!! It's my favorite! I love everyone that I work with! So, in the midst of me trying to figure out where I'm going to school next, I decided that I really want to be a park ranger ( I work at a state park, in case I forgot to mention that)..... BUT I also still want to pursue my singing career.... so I am going to go to school part time to get my music performance degree..... and while I do this, I will be working in law enforcement or parks and forestry, taking the ranger test, and then going to police academy! The best part about all of this is that because I want to be a ranger, all of the rangers at work are helping me out.... my good friend Jimmy, who totally fucking rocks, is teaching me how to shoot.... and another ranger that is becoming a friend of mine, is doing just about everything she can to help me.... and now about her.... She is so damn awesome! She is really fucking tough and hardcore and fucking great! Also, I think she is a little bit crazy, but she reminds me sooo much of myself..... She always lets me go out on patrol with her and we chat and stuff like that.... and she is giving me all kinds of hints and advice for what to do to ensure myself a job and how to get through police academy (including her one of a kind hair style that allowed her to keep her hair long while in the academy)..... she even offered to help get me a job when the summer is over! But here's the tricky part... I am starting to not only like her and trust her alot as a co-worker and friend, but sometimes I LIKE her LIKE her.... I always do things like this, I always start to "fall in like" with people who I could never date..... she is 10 years older than me, married, and has two small kids..... But the problem is that she looks and acts my age (20).... It has gotten to the point where if I'm not talking about her to my friends or family, I'm thinking about her all the time.... and not even in a sexual way or anything like that.... I just always have her on my mind..... Yesterday oe of my co-workers told me that she has a reputation for being somewhat "adventurous" when she's drunk..... whatever that's supposed to mean....but this is top secret..... my source told me that she would be in deeeep trouble if her hubby ever found out..... BUT... when we were out on patrol yesterday, she said " hey, I have a question for you... how come you guys never invite me to any of your parties? Is it because of my age? Or because I have kids? I know it's not because I'm a ranger, because Jessie's husband is a ranger (Jessie is who always has the parties)...... so what is it?" (keep in mind that this is before I found out about her party experiences) So I said... I don't really know... why don't you come to the next one? Long story short.... she's coming to our next party.... Can you guess my level of excitement?? 0:) Current Mood: amused Current Music: DMB, Moxy Fruvous!:)

01:52 am - Trying to trudge through my muddy life... ugh.... just when I thought things couldn't get any worse... SOOO Nationals are in two weeks and Jenna, our number one tumbler, fractured her hand in 2 places and is out of the routine.... well, not totally out of the routine, you see, because our coaches are fucking stupid and they think that Jenna, who has a CAST on her hand, will be able to do a one-handed backhandspring..... yeah, uh huh, right... as if that isn't bad enough, Kelly, our choreographer, is no longer our choreographer.... yup, that's right, no music and no final changes to the routine.... again, let me re-iterate to you that nationals are in 2 weeks........ SOOOO, instead of keeping what she gave us, our coaches decided that it would be smart to RE-DO the ENTIRE routine on Friday..... all new partner stunts, all new tosses, all new tumbling...... I think I'm going to shit myself.... Our team has been through so god damn much this year that if we place in the top five it will be a miracle... One good thing that happened this week is that I got chosen to be an RA for next year!! WOOHOOOO!!! Yeah, that totally rocks and everything, but I also got a financial rejection card from the bursars office..... soooo unless I come up with $17,000, I can't register for Term 3 of this year or term 1 of next year. I am speaking with the local army recruiter to see if we can work something out, but other than that, I cannot get approverd for a loan..... why, you ask?? My parents just filed for bankruptcy! AAARGGH! So, I may have to decline the position as RA to take a leave of absence and work until I pay the money back...... and what if I CAN come back next year? I probably won't make cheerleading again, because my tumbling is shitty.... so I decided that I'm going to play softball, soccer, and basketball... I always played when I was younger and I regret that I never stuck with it because I was better at those sports than I could ever be at cheerleading.. However, if I have to stay home for a few months and work, I will also go on a few open auditions in the area to see if I can start up my singing career..... who knows anymore?? Honestly, what the fuck do I want in my life?? oh yeah, and now we're probably going to war..... super.... FUCK YOU BUSH! Current Mood: frustrated Current Music: nothing..... Like a Rolling Stone would be nice to hear

11:56 pm - OK, the latest on my life... Wow, ok, it's been awhile.... Our routine is coming along great, we are still very injured..... nonetheless we are holding our own.... my shin splints suck, my tumbling sucks..... but I'm getting better... I go to the gym on a daily basis, I have lost 10 pounds ths term....... I can run 2 miles without walking ( a feat I could not do up until a week ago).... Kelly is coming on Friday to fix up our routine and give us the music..... I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! On another note, I believe I may have lost a friend, and that makes me sad....:( Current Mood: tired Current Music: James Taylor "You've got a friend"

10:32 pm - GOOD GOD! Can we just talk about this for a second?? I can't believe the shit that happens to me, honestly. I'm going to tell you what happened to me today, and it's ok to laugh, because it definitely is funny. So, after taking a shit in our floor bathroom, I sat down in my bed to take a nap and all of a sudden my ass cheeks and the top of my legs started itching like crazy.... it felt like someone put itching powder in my pants...u know, like a painful kind of itchy.....it was quite severe, so I was thinking, maybe I'm allergic to my laundry detergent?? So I changed my undies and pants and sat down again, only to find the itching becoming more and more painful, and less like an itch.... so my roommate walked in and said "Don't sit on the toilet seat, cause Leah and I did and our asses are burning, because the cleaning lady sprayed the seat with a dangerous chemical, but never wiped it clean." NEEDLESS TO SAY, I have 1st-2nd degree chemical burns on my ass and top of my thighs that has been CONSTANTLY burning since this happened at 12:30 this afternoon...... I feel like someone poured acid down my pants.... it burns, it hurts, and I can barely sit down...... I'm thinking that the next few days are going to SUCK! On another note: I was the first one to 6am practice this morning... wooohoooo.... but my flier was 20 mins late, and kind of disoriented... she got all dressed up to go to "student teaching" and then realized that she was a business major..... she was out of it.... it kind of concerned me.... There is a nasty stomach bug going around campus.... almost 100 people and still going..... Erin, a girl on my team has it so bad that she can't stand up without puking....soooo being the nice, loving, caring teammates that we are, Amber and I went to dinner after going to the gym and decided that it would be nice to buy some saltines and ginger ale, bribe someone to let us in the freshman dorm, and help a friend in need:)..... she said she felt better afterwards:):) My Core teacher told us on Monday that she wouldn't be in class today, but that she wanted us to hold class and discussions ourselves..... but actually, with a bit of coercing from me and my friend meryl.....we got everyone to just sign the attendence sheet and leave...... ahhhhh yes, I am 5 still... Current Mood: uncomfortable Current Music: Nothing... but it should be Aaliyah "hot like fire"

09:13 pm - I sucked at life today 6am practice this morning was great.... except for the fact that I overslept and didn't make it until almost 6:30...... *sighs* Classes were fair..... I forgot to do my Arabic HW, so I looked like an ass in class today..... my psych paper sucked, I wrote it in half an hour.... I was starting to fall asleep in class..... I got scolded at by my core teacher for talking to Jess during class.....I forgot about our international relations debate so I only had 1/2 an hour to produce an argument against what I actually believe in...... then I went over on my points....AGAIN...... ugh..... yucky day..... I'm tired, and I'll probably try to sleep...... side note: the suitemates still hate me Current Mood: blah Current Music: Nationals music:)

11:37 pm - Welcome back to Earth Well, these last few days have kind of been my own little heaven on earth, but now, at 11:30 on Sunday night, I am back to reality. I'm facing the music, and it's white noise.... We have a 6am practice tomorrow morning, as we do every monday and wednesday for the remainder of the term. HOWEVER, I still have a paper to write, reading to do, and 2 pages of Arabic HW to do (that doesn't sound like alot, but Arabic takes FOREVER..... Sooooo I am procrastinating by bitching in my live journal.....SON OF A BITCH..... I hate morning practices..... especially because we have to tumble on the hard gym floor..... and that hurts..... owwwies...... our competition floor is 9 miles away and we dont have the time to go there in the morning...... so we only get 5 days a week on the soft nice floor, instead of seven....... AND I'm over my points for today..... but I am hungry, and dammit, graham crackers aren't THAT bad for you....... regardless.... I still love my team and our routine.... woooohoooo..... Daytona won't even see us coming!!! Current Mood: stressed Current Music: nothing.... but I have Don't Fear the Reaper in my head

01:05 am - OK.... my weekend so far Thurs- 5 hrs of practice with Kelly Proctor, overall it went very well..... slightly bruised and sore, but no big deal Fri- It was supposed to be 5 hrs with Kelly, but it turned into 8 hrs, hence we didn't return home until 12:30 (midnight).... but it's ok because we have our whole nationals routine and it is SICK!!! Fucking unbelievable!! She basically gave us a first place routine on a silver platter and now it's our turn to work our asses off and hit it... Sat- SOOOOO tired from the last 2 days of practice, so I slept until noon.... then I ordered chinese food.... then I took a 45 min bath..... then I watched college nationals videos for 5 hrs, only moving from my bed on one occasion..... to get water from the fridge... and it is now 1:30 am.... and my suitemates are drunk and stoned and making me do things for them like plug in the VCR and show them all of my cheer battle scars......yet, I am no less psyched about the next 4 months of my life than I was after practice last night!! I have been on the weight watchers diet since Jan 7 and I have lost 6 pounds.... woooohoooo..... hopefully tumbling will get easier as I go to the gym more and lose more weight..... OMG.... I am so excited for this routine.... Current Mood: excited Current Music: "Eye of the Tiger"... I made a psych up CD tonight:)

01:52 pm - Sorry it has been so long!!! WOW! It has been a while.... here is the story: There are 21 people on our team, 13 of which had standing backhandsprings at the beginning of the year.... me not being one of them, due to an injury-filled freshman year....... our coach gave us until January 9th to get them. We had to throw three good backhandsprings by ourselves and whoever couldn't do them weren't allowed to cheer at nationals. Needless to say I have been a little bit stressed out about this, because tumbling is not my strong point and I have been afraid of re-injuring myself.... I have been so busy worrying about this and getting into arguments with my suitemates and worrying about money troubles, and LOTS of other stuff....that I forgot to write in my journal.... OOOOOPS!! Needless to say, "JUDGEMENT DAY" for backhandsprings was yesterday and..... I MADE IT!!!! WAHOOOOOOO!!! I am so elated that I figured I should write about it..... only I have class now, so I will write later!! PEACE OUT!!!!

04:42 pm - Greatest experience! WOW! I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing my weekend was. My friends and I went down to Washington,DC to protest against the war in Iraq.... there were 200,000 people there! And guess how many opposed? 200! It was unbelievable! It gave me so much faith in the people of America! Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson were among the speakers at this rally, and I must say that this is going to be a tough experience to beat. I've never felt more right, more alive, more free, more beautiful, than I did yesterday. I learned so much, both about myself, my friends, and our government.... it was truly amazing. Jan 18 is the next one, I hope that anyone who reads this will attend.... think of the children of Iraq, think of the reasons for this war.... there are none! Bush let 9-11 happen as an excuse to invade Afghanistan and now he's trying to invade Iraq, using 9-11 as an excuse, simply to monopolize oil..... No blood for oil, we don't want your racist war! People in this country know nothing about the Arab world, and it's not our business to get involved unless we are doing something helpful and productive, like supplying food or books to the Iraqi people or stopping the US bombings that kill innocent people every day.... It is like war over there all of the time, a life that we couldn't even imagine... if only Bush weren't such a FUCK! Current Mood: peaceful Current Music: Forrest Gump Soundtrack

11:18 am - What is wrong with me? Seriously, I know I am the farthest thing from normal, but it seems like everyone is treating me differently lately. Everytime I say something, Callie and Lauren (one of my suitemates) roll their eyes at each other, like they hate me or something.... it reminds me of high school honestly. Then, I always feel like my coaches hate me and that they don't want me on the team..... I don't know why I feel like they do.... I think it's the way that they are around me, just almost like they are completely uninterested in anything that I have to say, like it's a chore for them to be around me..... it was like that in high school, but on a much higher level. Someday, when I have more time, I will write about my high school experiences, but the gist of it is that my high school cheerleading coach was a BITCH to me. She threw a book at me once in practice and she used to make me do things for her like make her a cup of coffee and make copies for her. She even once took me over to the side at practice and said "You know Lisa, you're a little too much of an individual I think. You need to learn how to blend in more, maybe be a little less different. The girls on the team don't like you because you don't fit in with them. Maybe it would be better for the team if you tried harder to be more like them." OH YEAH, DEFINITELY NOT KIDDING..... there's plenty more stories where that came from, maybe I'll include a different one each entry.....lol.... I'm glad I can laugh about it now, because I was pretty messed up in high school because of it.... Lots of other similar stuff happened in high school, and it made me self-conscious to the extent where I would be afraid to call someone on the phone because I might sound stupid, or they might laugh at me. It has taken me such a long time to finally start becoming comfortable in my own skin, it just pisses me off when Callie and Lauren do that because it's like going back to high school again.....

08:52 pm - My first entry.... wooo hooo! So, I went out last night and had a blast.... nothing major happened, it was just your average Saturday. However, I feel the sudden need to bitch about my roommate, Callie. First I'll give you the history. I was supposed to room with my friend Nicole this year, because we kinda sorta like each other but not (I'm just as confused as you are) and we are basically like the same person in two different bodies. Then I met Callie (she's straight btw) and I didn't really know her THAT THAT well, but we had started hanging out and I knew we both had some similar problems. She had NO ONE that wanted to room with her because she is apparently difficult to deal with at times. So, reluctantly I agreed to room with her, because I felt bad. I REALLY wanted to room with Nicole still though, so I tried to get a suite, but NO ONE wanted to live with Callie. So I decided to make the best of the situation and get to know the girl. We got to be really good friends, and then her roommate moved out on her really suddenly because she couldn't handle it any more. I really thought that was wrong, you know. I mean Callie has some genuine problems, what kind of friend just gives up on someone like that? So, me, being the nice girl that I am, I was there for her, through everything, and she was there for me too, so it really started working out. I basically moved in with her- I slept in there, and was there most of the time.... BUT I still had my own room to go back to. I was really looking forward to living with her this year, but something happened over the summer. I realized that Callie is exactly the type of person who never would have given me the time of day in high school. I have a poster of the globe on my wall, I watch MSNBC, I like discussing politics and other important issues.... what I'm trying to say is that we just aren't the same. She gets angry at me when I bring up that kind of stuff, or she'll roll her eyes when I say things in class or about things on TV-- like I'm trying to annoy her, or like I'm trying to be a know-it-all. She gets so easily angered, her temper is ridiculous.... it is definitely starting to get stressful. Today we had some people over, and I had said something and she SNAPPED at me. This girl Kat was like "Whoa Cal, chill" and my suitemate said "Oh don't worry, they do this all the time". I said " She's very quick tempered, but I'm used to it." And THEN Callie said "Yeah, and she's a bitch all of the time, but I'm used to it." WHAT!?!? Are you kidding me?? I am the best goddamn friend she'll ever have. No one else will be able to handle her for as long as I have, NO ONE! It just makes me mad that she said that because I am the least moody person that you can ever meet. I never get angry or upset, I just am beginning to not be able to handle her. She is so goddamn moody and self-absorbed, like always looking for attention "guess what bad thing happened to me today" type stuff..... it's getting on my nerves Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: She's So High- Tal Bachman, Queen, Cranberries, DMB
