I'm Tired

This post probably comes under the heading, Whin-y, Complain-y stuff, but we all have our moments, so just shut-up and listen... (I'm kidding, about the shut-up part at least... The title should clue you into my current mood. You may find yourself asking, why Karin, Why are you tired? well, I will tell you, not only why, but what I am tired of.

I am tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, (I really like sleep), Tired of having no money,(although at the moment I have more money than I have had in a very long time, but don't worry I am doing a great job of spending the crap out of it...), I am tired of listening to nameless, previously mentioned PUTZ teacher, and the droning that I have to listen to. I am physically and mentally just plain Tired. I am also tired of Being alone. Of not having someone to be tired with (:D), I am tired of being the *ONLY* eternally single almost twenty-five year old I know. I am tired of taking the DAMN bus and running my daily schedule around the bus schedule. I am tired of being the nicest, most giving person I know. I am also tired of not doing the things that I really want to do, and instead constantly doing the things I HATE, so much so that some people think I actually like doing them. I don't, I hate cleaning, It just always has to be done, but at a point I'd rather have a mess and a fun time than a clean house and no fun. I am tired of Judge Shows, of Talk Radio and of annoying Movies. I am tired of myself and who I have become. This is so not what I had planned when I was younger. I am tired of (most of) my family. I am just tired. and I bet that by now you are tired of hearing me tell you what I am tired of, but thank you for bearing with me. Most of the things I am tired of, I am also annoyed by, but I will resist the urge to elaborate... In the mean time, I may run outside and cry. or scream. I'm undecided.

Now that I have done that, even though I don't quite feel better yet, lets see what I am grateful for; I am grateful for Safeway Guy! I am grateful for my Grandma, for Patty, for the second grade class, who for three hours a day help me to be centered and calm. I am grateful for music, For hot showers, For BED. I am also grateful for hot tea, and for my iPod (even though the damn thing does not work well most of the time.)

I am grateful for Patty, who I know is the only one who will read this, and I apologize Patty, for being so rant-y.

A SERIOUS Case of Senoritis...

So, let me start by saying, don't under any circumstance get used to an every day post...

This is my last semester in community college and the senoritis bug has bitten. It bit before the semester began, but recently, I am finding it difficult to enjoy anything about the semester. Even the class I signed up for fun has lost its appeal. Today, the sun is shining, the skies are blue, the weather is wonderful, and I am not going to class. In the long run this is the best solution for me.

I have been a student for a very long time, and in previous semesters, I barely missed any class, and if I did, there was a serious and compelling reason, but this time, there needs to be no reason. no reason whatsoever. And there is a part of me that feels bad about this careless approach to school, but even more of me, that just simply doesn't care!

So today I will walk the dog, while listening to Lady Gaga. (great dog walking music!) later I will clean the bathroom, and probably the kitchen, the soundtrack for which is undecided, but will most likely include the beatles at somepoint. And maybe, just maybe I will finally get out into my garden and pull the necessary weeds, a task which I have not made time for as of yet. If you ask me this sounds a much more productive day than sitting in a classroom listening to unnamed putz teacher drone on and on about how cool he was when he was a student. Or whatever he drones about.

Patty, you are right! this is therapeutic!!!

Hello Blogosphere...

Patty says I am interesting, and therefore worthy of entering the blogosphere.

It is not that I disagree, but what do I have to say that anyone will read? I’m not sure, and even titling this silly project has proven difficult. I have thought about writing one of these, and figured that with the push and the very kind compliment from patty, that I would entertain the new adventure. Here is to a new exciting (hopefully) chronicling of my boring (*sigh*) life.

AND I will certainly try my very best to make regular posts. I make no promises as to how regular however.

Since this is the first edition, I will not bore you with the whiny complain-y things I could, and probably eventually will post. Though they are numerous, and ever present in my mind. I will begin with and introduction to myself.

I am Karin, The eternal college student. When I am not in class I am living with my grandma, or volunteering in a second grade classroom (kids are cute!) I like to write, and this is probably the inspiration for my new blog. hopefully I am not as boring as I think I am. My biggest challenge so far has been choosing a title, so why not a variation on a John Lennon book? he is after all a Beatle and I Love the Beatles.

now, it is time for me to go catch the bus home, heaven forbid I am late. I promise to post again. Hopefully Tomorrow... In the mean time, does anyone really care what I have to say? I hope so. otherwise this is a complete waste of my time... :D
