Would you like lemon juice with your paper cut?

Wow, plenty has happened since my last 2007 entry! A lot of good, and a lot of bad. =/ Hmm, let's talk about the good first.

Four days after my 16th birthday, I submitted an application for a job, as everyone knows, but everyone doesn't know that I got the job. =D My boss didn't even say "you're hired." She just said "When can you start?" And that was it. So Dec. 26th, I had my first day at the copy shop. :) I learned a lot! I know how to do most of the ordinary copy jobs, like "I need 100 copies of this, this, this, this, and this, double sided, black and white, tri-folded, and all stapled in order I have them in now. I'll be back in 2 hours." Yup, I can do all that. Actually, the machine does it. It's amazing! I push a few buttons, press start, and it does everything! All I really have to do is keep the paper trays stocked, make sure it's doing exactly what I want it to, box up the finished product, create an invoice, and charge out the account. Most of the time I can multi task. Get one job started on one copier, get another started on the other, and print out some copies on the large format copier, help some customers, and finish the first job. It's fairly simple, and fun. Lots of paper cuts, but it's all good.

So I'll be doing that 4 days a week. My schedule will be roughly like this:
Monday: 6.00 am school - 6pm-7.30pm ballet
Tuesday: 6-9.30am school - 10am-3pm work - 5.30-7 ballet
Wednesday: 6-9.30am school - 10am-3pm work - 6-6.45pm ballet
Thursday: 6-9.30am school - 10am-6pm work
Friday: 6-9.30am school - 10am-6pm work
Saturday: 11am-12.30pm ballet, any leftover school Sat. afternoon

I'm soooo excited. :)

Christmas was good; I got a drum set, and a digi camera, plus a bunch of pink kitchen utensils for my kitchen when I move out. And a totally awesome Teddy Tunes bear that plays music from my iPod, and an "I <3 NY" t-shirt. So cool. :) New Years was a little harder... Cause I have really bad memories of New Years day that really cut deep. That was partially because this was the second New Years that I went through alone.
Yeah, some of the stuff that happened last New Years happened again. I kind of... well, lost another best friend. A choice was made, that was assumed to be for my own good, and wasn't taken very well by several different people. And, well, I was sort of left alone. Again. But I am doing much better now. I can only hope and pray for the same for my best friend, especially now that we aren't really talking.
A couple of days before New Years, I hung out with a very good girl friend of mine, and we went out to a theme park and met up with one of her guy friends from her church, and the three of us had a really good time. :) So that helped soften out New Years a bit for me.

Ok, I'm sick of talking about that stuff. I want to be happy. :) I got Guitar Hero II for Christmas, and I finished the game on Medium last night, and bought all the bonus songs. I'm so happy. :) I feel like I've really accomplished something, even though it's so stupid. x) Oh well.

Well, I'm going to run. I've got some things to do, so I'll be heading out. :) thanks for reading my really long post! and I'll try to write again soon. :)

(P.S. this one's for my dawg and homeboi, Chrizzle)
