love and marriage

so my ex is engaged. i havent talked to him for awhile and he was online tonight. he has been house hunting and wedding dress shopping with his fiance. this may be wrong or stupid but i am jealous. first of all he basically took our relationship and just continued on with another girl in replace of me. its like us breaking up never really happened. all of our plans are still going according to plan, just with someone else. while i am glad its not me, i just think it is so dumb. i feel like he is making a huge mistake, and i feel semi guilty. its rediculous if you ask me.

sick again

i am never going to feel better, as soon as i start feeling healthy i get sick again. this sucks. i am watching crossing jordan and there is a blonde girl that looks like shannon from lost (maggie grace). i googled it though and i cant find her so i guess it is a different girl. but damn it looks like the same person.

3 months of work left. 3 months.

California Dreaming

So I had a dream that I was in a hurricane last night. This is my second hurricane dream in the past month or so. I hate hurricanes. The night before that I had a dream that I not only had to be nice to Chi's Stephanie but I also had to be friends with her. That bitch!
I am at work again doing nothing. I was here last night forever and will be here tonight forever and tomorrow night forever. I think I got max five hours of sleep last night, and now have a 12-14 hour day to work. Well at this point I only have 5 and a half hours left. I am exhausted. Tomorrow will probably be another 12+ hour day. I better get tons of overtime pay. I could fall asleep and no one would know. I am not even doing anything. I should just walk back to the hotel and go to bed. Tomorrow I am sleeping in damnit.
I am afraid I am going to be sick for this weekend, and Chi's birthday bbq. That would suck. I think if I have a late night tomorrow I may see if John minds driving my car down to Rolla so I can sleep for the drive. We will see what the rest of the week holds. At least it is almost thursday!

Minnesota Update Go!

I stole the title idea from Brien. Thank you Brien.

Alright so right now I am sitting in a Malthouse in Moorhead Minnesota. Not a farm thank you very much genious boyfriend. :) We are here to do sampling of the malt as it dries in the kilns and then using that data we are going to produce new moisture drying curves for them to use to run their system off of. They think that the curves they have right now are not accurate. When I say we are here doing this I really mean Paul is here doing this with a vendor and I am pretty much just supporting the work. Basically, I am sitting around keeping myself somewhat busy. Every hour when they get a new sample I have to log some data. I could actually go pull the samples and I may have to later. But as of right now they haven't asked me if I wanted to, and I haven't volunteered. When you go take a sample you have to walk out on top of the grain to the middle of the grain bed. The whole time grain dust and sulfur dioxide is blowing everywhere and it is about 170 degrees out there. So if you were wondering why I haven't volunteered, hopefully now you understand.
Anyway, it is interesting to be somewhere different. This place is totally different then the breweries. On top of that I am getting to see the work that is done before the brewing process ever even begins. So, basically I know have a complete picture of what is required to make beer. I guess the only step missing is the actual growing of the barley. If I were to see that done then I would definitely have to visit a farm. I don't believe that is on my coop agenda though so there are probably no Canadian barley farms in my future. I am ok with that. I have seen farms. My grandpa is a farmer. I doubt barley farms are much different then corn and soybean farms.

On a non work related note ... today is Chi's birthday. Everyone tell him happy birthday! He is now an old man. The big 23. That is old if you ask me. I love birthdays. I wish I could be in Rolla to help him celebrate, but at least I will get to go down this weekend. We are having a barbecue on Saturday from 11-4 at Lion's park so everyone better be there!
Nothing else is too new. I guess one important thing is I found out my placement for RA next year. I will be the super awesome RA of the first floor of the RC. My floor is named "the resort" and I plan to use that theme to the fullest. I may even use Kelly's tiki head if I can get permission. So yay, that will be fun. I can't wait until August.
I am now over halfway done with my coop. Let me just say that it will not end soon enough.

Ok good bye.

Hating

I dont hate people. I dislike some, but no hating. Not often anyway. Unfotunately, there is one person I hate. This is a person I have never met. I am sure she is really nice, maybe we would even get along really well. It doesn't matter though. I hate her. I think it is better to hate one person you don't know then lots of people you do. I dont think it makes me a bad person.
On another less depressing note, I am going to be in Minnesota all week. Interesting, probably not too much. I am now on the final months of my coop. 3 months and 1 week to go. It will not end soon enough.
