The Blind Side

Last night, I went to go see the blind side with my boyfriend. I absolutely loved it! I had expected it to be a drama, and while it had its drama moments, it was more funny than anything. They mixed a good amount of humor with the difficult issues Michael Oher faced. The movie is about Michael Oher who is an 18 year old black boy from the slums. When he gets into a private christian school, by help of the coach, he is found wandering around because he has nowhere to stay. The Touley family takes him in and provide for him, until they realize he has nowhere else to go and allow him to stay there permenantly with them. Over time the family comes to love him and accept him as their own, including the children. In order to play football, Michael must bring up his grades, seeing as he had a starting GPA of 0.07. His teachers all help him and he eventually brings up his grades and starts to play football. He becomes one of the best players on the team and the high school goes on to win the championship because of michael. The Touley family adopt michael and persuade him to go to college at Ole Miss, where the whole family has gone. To get a football scholarship from any school, he has to bring his GPA up to a 2.5. When he graduates, he has brought his GPA up to a 2.52, thanks to a tutor, and goes on to play football with Ole Miss. He then goes on to the NFL to play for the baltimore ravens. The movie was a great movie and I suggest it to anyone.

Things I Have to Do When the GM Isn't at Work

Things I feel like I have to do when the GM isnt at work:

1. Boss people around nicely to get them to do something
2. clean almost everything cuz no one else will
3. multi-task doing things
4. Be the adult
5. be the nice employee to the customers
6. work twice as hard to get everything done
7. run around like a chicken with no head
8. keep the peace between employees

I don't know why everyone slacks off when the GM isn't at work. I shouldn't have to tell a bunch of teenagers and young adults what to do at work. they know their job and should do it because they are getting paid to do it. its just ridiculous!

Christmas

I'm so excited that christmas is just around the corner. This is my favorite holiday of the year because of all the excitement and mostly because of all the awesome decorations. I love going around neighborhoods and looking at how people have decorated the outside of their house. All the lights are brilliant and stunning and really captivate me. My neighbor down the street goes all out for christmas and about over does the light scheme. Every inch of their house is decorated in lights and the yard is full of blowups and more lighted objects. We only put up a few things because my dad won't get up on a ladder to hang lights from the roof. But that's okay because it makes taking the decorations down easier. My boyfriend and I have decided to make a date out of going around to the neighborhoods and seeing the lights! He hasn't done this in a while, so I'm excited that he wants to do it with me. What I really am pumped about is what I am going to get for christmas. I haven't asked for anything because this is the first year I haven't seen anything I really wanted. I've been too busy with work and school that I haven't had time to look through ads, or go to the store, or watch tv to browse all the news devices and things. I do know a few of my gifts because I have picked them out, which has made it easier on my mom since I didn't tell anyone anything I'd like. I'm counting down the days until I can rip open gifts and see my boyfriend open his gifts from me. The clever little thing has figured out one gift I've gotten him, but he will be shocked when he opens his other one. I hope everybody has a wonderful christmas!

FINALS!!!!

Now that its down to the last two days of actual school, finals are just around the corner. I am so nervous because I have to find time to study, while dealing with my work schedule. Since I have been promoted, I am getting more hours which makes it difficult to find time. But I am super pumped that it is the end of this semester! I am ready to get these stupid finals out of the way. The only final I am really really worried about is my history exam. It's just like the other tests we've had, and its not cumulative, but it's still going to be hard. My mind has even taken stressing to the next level and has invaded my dreams! I had two dreams last night about taking my finals. In the dream, I had 10 daily start up questions that I had due at the final, yet I had no idea this was the case, and I freaked out because I didn't want to get an F for the class. So I asked the guy next to me if I could copy his and he said yes which took a little bit of the stress off. Its funny because in reality in history class, I don't have start up questions, and when I woke up, I was relieved. I also had dreams about other finals, but I can't remember them as clearly as the history final dream. I guess that one stuck with me because its the main one to worry about. Well, toot-a-loo for now!
