Today, Barb is feeling: good but starting to get bored.

so i have been back for just over two weeks, and Best Buy has kinda been giving me the run-around. so that sucks. and i have applied at Jo Ann Ect. so, i need to find a job!!!!!

so if anyone knows of a place around the Woodbury area that is hiring and isn't food service, just lemme know!

so the transition coming back from Scotland has been kinda strange.
i still miss all the things that i really liked and enjoyed in Scotland. but i am glad to be back home with the rents.
i think that i might have a place to live in the fall so that will be wicked cool!
umm yea.

6 hours and counting.......
and i am on my way back to the states.
Today, Barb is feeling: tired.
we just got done with a two and a half hour deep clean. it was fun and it went by fast, but it was hard! lots of bending and reaching and climbing on countertops (that was fun!) so yea, well, i have three of my grades back,
Ethical Leadership - B
Human Resource Management - B
SCC - i got a C... a 79 and there is no way to challenge for that last point! GRRRR (serious issues had by ALL with that class and just so everyone knows, the average in the class was a 72, so i am above average.... but i wanteed a B!!!!! and i worked damn hard for it) alright, now that the venting is over, the last grade that i am waiting for is my Gothic Lit grade. it is very possible that i could get an A in the class and have my 3.0 that i was working for.... so yea, cross your fingers for me! i should find out tonight at out party.

ok i need to go and clean some more.... i leave tomoorow.....lots of tears lie in wait.

Today, Barb is feeling: saddened but happy.

i know, how can that happen? to feel sad and happy all at the same time.
well very easily.
i am sad to leave Scotland which feels so much like my home.
but i am happy to go back to my other home!
i miss my mom and dad, and friends, and church, and just everything there, but i know i am going to miss scotland too! i am torn. i want to be happy to go home, but i just can't be. i want to be sad to leave, but i just can't be.

i know i am one screwed up chickie.
so yea, as of right now.. we have a 36 hours and counting before we have leaving for the states again.
i will be back, probably with tears streaming!!!
