If that was directed to me...
Yes, things have improved. Her
boyfriend was over this past
weekend. He respected my wishes
and did not bring drugs into
our house! Hip hip hooray!

Okay I learned that I am very put off by certain people in my class. These two girls decided that I’m a free tutor, and spokes person for the class.

I’m not even an A student in the class. But I’m knowledgeable ask questions in class. Can usually put good time into looking things over.

People would come up to me and ask questions before class and I could usually answer them.
I was fine with it, since I could hold a conversation with most of these people outside of helping them.

But then these other two girls...ask me stuff...and can’t hold a conversation about anything else. So it got insulting territory for me. Like they are entitled to me helping them.

Like if you need help that bad, talk to the actual professor or get a tutor.

My boyfriend does not get why I’m bothered by this!

People just coming up to me for help, and not taking time to get to know me....well they have no idea or care what I am going through.

And yeah I was going through stuff most of the month of March. I couldn’t look over stuff for class as much and study.

I would usually go to class a little early to look over stuff. One girl caught on to this. And sat in class early.
She could not go two minutes without asking me something. Yeah I was annoyed, I came there to help myself not her. And since you don’t take time to get to know me....you have no idea that this is the only time I have to look this stuff over and you are ruining it for me!

I was so ****** I forgot my headphones.

Then the day of our second exam, she did it again. As if she was waiting for me for hours rather than use her own brain. I gave her a look like “ugh not you” I think she picked up on that social cue. Cause she attempted to be polite about me helping her.

I shut her down. Told her about my personal life, and said I won’t be helpful to her.
She said sorry, and I said nothing back to her and continued to study.

She got the picture. She stopped showing up to class early. So she has the time but only choses to use it if she thinks she can get a free a tutor. Me! I do work a half day on these days, and try to get my butt out of work and get my butt over there to look things over before class.

After the second exam I vowed to not go to the classroom to study anymore since it got ruined for me.

Last time I studied in the cafeteria.

Yesterday I spent 4 freaking hours at SOS. So my study plans were cut short. I did just go to class. I can talk to other people that showed up early. We talk about other things and help each other out.

Then uuuhhhhgh, that girl and her friend show up 10 minutes early.
Her friend looked into my eyes and I looked back at her like what are looking at? You are friends with that girl that treats me like a free service. So please don’t talk to me.

And yes out of the several other people in the class asks me what she missed last week.

(Let me just stop what I’m doing) I was not very friendly about it, but I told her what pages in the book we went over.
Then she says “anything else” in a that’s it, that’s all you are going to tell me? Tone.
On the inside I was like “am I the effing spokes person?! Anything else, why yes how about you ask the professor when she gets here AND GO F()CK YOURSELF!!!

Like I am done being overly helpful to them they don’t deserve it.
When they walk in I’m putting on my headphones even if it’s only 10 minutes before class.

People who try to suck me into their drama. Stay in your own lane.

Also, people who claim to be my friend but love to say stuff like, "well how does that affect me and what I'm doing right now?" when I tell them about something that bothers me. Maybe I'll say those exact words when you come to me in the future crying about something. Maybe you just initiated the end of our friendship.

Do onto others as you would want done to you. It's pretty simple.

No quoting, please.

I have so outgrown the apartment life. But must of all I’ve outgrown pet sitting. I’m sick of my boyfriends family asking us. Like why not his teenage kid sister!?

A while back I really snapped that it’s not how I want to spend my free time. I just want to be at my own place doing my things. It is not a vacation for me at all.

Bf said it’s fine and that if I don’t want to go, I can stay home and that he will just go.
However he is holding the laundry over my head and how much laundry I could get done there.

I just want to do laundry in my own house with out loosing my quarters

My dog died. Second dog to pass away in less than 9 months from each other.

2019 is shaping up to be a hard year.

If ya'll could send some lovely, healing thoughts my way, I would be eternally grateful. I caught a nasty bug just after taking my immunosuppressant meds, which means it's holding on and lasting way longer than it would for an otherwise healthy person. I went back to work on Friday, which appears to have been a mistake I'm regretting.

I'm sorry. That's really difficult. I've been through that myself.

Thanks, guys.I have one pooch left and she seems pretty lonely without the others. I cannot bring myself to even look at the cute puppies at the shelter, though. Maybe after I move.

More sad news. A good friend of mine is in hospice and will probably pass soon. Her cancer came back very suddenly and spread to her brain.

Like I said, 2019 is going to be a hard hitter. I've got my tissue boxes ready.

For grad school next fall. I'm not going far - just closer to the state line so the commute will be easier. I'm looking at houses, but nothing is concrete yet.

I broke my rule and got another dog to keep my youngest dog company. I adopted a chihuahua from an animal rescue.

Since 1 dog only weighs 6 pounds and the other only weighs 15 pounds...that means I only have one dog, right?

This has been a pretty good year, which means that I'm waiting for the pig's blood to hit me.

I don't give a crap if anyone dislikes me because of politics, so I'm not looking there.

I've reconnected with four different people this year: one family member, and three who were good friends. One I've been in touch with through facebook, but we hadn't really talked in the last few years. She called me in June. My cousin A, in April, one friend I've known for about nine years, and we kind of both cut contact, but I don't know why - two years ago. She apologized to me, after I emailed her on a whim, told her I missed her, and she said, "I still love you. " And then this guy from my past. All of that has made me happy.

But I have the same feeling that I had the year before my mum died: that I wish we'd been able to relax more, and really get more enjoyment out of the year, because it feels like things are going to change. I was so depressed last night, and overtired. A guy who works at the bookstore is going through what we went through, three years ago, only his mum is there for a different, but equally serious reason. I'm shy, I don't talk much there, but I've seen him there for years, so I left him a note in the book I'd been looking at, knowing he'd see it when he went to put things back, that had been left in the cafe. Only my dad wasn't outside, and he went back looking for me, so the guy asked him to say thank you, that he appreciated it. It just brought back the, "oh **** " feelings. I started to cry in the van, and then went to the store, then came home and tried to sleep, but couldn't, even though I was exhausted. I finally took something to help me sleep, and now I can't wake up, so maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

Edited, because it's personal, and I am now feeling defensive. Anyone with their popcorn out, can move along.

I was supposed to take part in a walk/run to raise money for a local mental health place - the one that helped me - and for animals, but now I can't afford the money for registration. I might go to cheer others on.

I seem to not do well with Scorpio season.
Days get darker and chilly. Lots of grey skies during day light.
Scorpio is where my moon and Pluto sign is so you think it would be an awesome time.
But really I’m starting to think the sun is shining on the intensity of my emotions and my power struggles.

Scorpio is my 6th house. This time of year I notice a pattern of work becoming unbearable.

Mental health relapses with smoking. I can’t handle not smoking. Though I can cut back and go days sometimes. But I could at least not smoke in my car. I reached my breaking point and have smoked in my car a few times lately.

Oh also! I realize that Scorpio squares my Aqua Leo energy. I have Leo ic and s. Node. Aqua mars, mc, and north node.

I lose my temper at work this time of year. And mc would explain why I don’t look as good at work. I had a parent openly compare me to other teachers in late October.

I really needed this day to my self to process my life and emotions. I realize that switching jobs will not solve my problems right now, or relocation. Because I am still in school and that is part of problem with my job. Being expected to take so much work home with me as a student.

I will have to see how I feel when the school year is over at the earliest. Or see how I feel when I’m done with school.

So I cannot wait for Scorpio season to be over! Bring it on Sagittarius season!

I’m sick of being busy. Even when I’m less busy, I’m still busy!
On break from college and since then, I’ve been bending over backwards to make Christmas so special for my preschoolers. Love my kids the families are good too. But I seriously need to have my space. If you are a parent really consider getting your child’s teacher a gift card. We barely make a livable wage and give up so much of our own life for the school.
I can’t wait for this week to be over.
