Okay, so today started off a little differently.  As I write this I am sitting outside on my deck enjoying the beautiful weather watching my two dogs rolling in the grass.  I should be at school.  As I think I have mentioned I am currently in graduate school.  I slept in today and was getting ready to leave the house around 12:00.  I am a graduate assistant and so I had some work to do with some forms and entering the data.  (I know, you’re jealous).  Anyway, I check my phone and at 11:57 I received a text message that all classes are cancelled until next Wednesday.  Now, it really is not as bad as it sounds because next Monday and Tuesday are fall break, so really just today and tomorrow have classes cancelled.  So I try to log onto my e-mail to see if there are more details or the alert website and the server is of course overloaded with everyone else trying to see what is going on.  I did receive an e-mail yesterday because there have been some “anonymous emails” with threats and they were looking into it.  That e-mail just said that classes were going on as scheduled.  Well, now apparently those have continued and there have been fires being set around campus.

Okay people… why?  is my only question.  How pathetic are you that you have to go around sending e-mails saying you are going to “do something” on October 9th and set fires?  I was talking to my ga lady and she said that she thought it was kids who just wanted to get out of a test and quite frankly I agree.  I mean, they are probably going to get caught.  The local police and campus police are now investigating it.  Is getting out of a test or some other assignment worth getting kicked out of school?  uh, no!  A lot of teachers are giving practicals and tests because it is the mid-point of the semester, so really that opinion that some of the teachers and students have is not too far fetched.  It is quite sad though.

Thankfully, the school is not taking any chances. We had to learn the hard way that these threats can be real.

Anyway… sorry for the negative news.  On a more positive note tomorrow is my last day of work!  It is pretty bad that I am quitting my job because I do have expenses to pay (that I can pay with money from my assistantship) but I also have a credit card to pay (school stuff and stuff when I lived out on my own, in case you were wondering), so I am not going to have a lot left over.  But I thought about this long and hard and it was one of the adult decisions I had to make.  I need to have more flexibility for school and my graduate assistantship.  They want me on days that I have to work and it is hard to have that all worked out.  In addition, I am going to be back to baby-sitting during the days which is what I want to do anyway (work with kids) and so I am just praying that I will get the card paid off soon.  I hate knowing that it needs to be paid.  It isn’t a ton, but as I mentioned I’m a worry-wort and a perfectionist.  Sorry I am all over the place today.  It was just the adult decision I had to make to quit my job and be able to have more control over my schedule.

Also, the job while it has great bosses and great people, the people I specifically worked with were controlling and negative all the time.  It goes back to one of my previous posts regarding being negative all the time.  I just cannot understand how you can live in this negative bubble and not do anything about it.  God gives us free will to make choices and those choices are going to impact our lives.  You can choose to live it or you can choose to live the same way you are living and travel down the same path you were going and it is never going to change.  As much as you complain about it, it will never change it until you do something to change it!

*gets down off soapbox* I’m pretty intense when it comes to living your life.  haha.  I just have spent so long around negative people at work, that I either have to say what I need to or I would loose my mind.

Anyway, Happy Thursday people!  I am already pretty addicted to blogging.  Let’s hope it doesn’t get worse.
