AHH!!

So the weekend was awesome! Got to spend a day in Asheville this weekend exploring, shopping, and just enjoying the city. Getting back to school though on Monday, and back to work has just been so ahh!! I had spring break last week, which consisted of being sick, catching up on my work load, and then getting my car fixed, so much fun. For work, I am a mentor at my university for underprivileged undergraduate freshmen who get their schooling payed for. Such an awesome program, and I LOve being a part of it. Only bad thing is on days like today, when I want nothing more than to be stuck in my own head, where I have to focus on others. I have 14 students that I see on a weekly basis, and my students ROCK! They are so motivated and just such great people. I am lucky to have a job I love, although I know it's only temporary while I am a student here. Today though, after I have a training session at 9 am, I get phone call that my boyfriend has injured his knee at work. So I get to spend 2 hours at the hospital with him, and hoping his workmans comp will pay for it since we don't have insurance,and then find out they want to drug test him, so being the smoker that he is has to chug a bunch of water and we are crossing our fingers he passes the drug test bc if not we don't have the money to pay for it. So then, I get to go back to school, wanting nothing more than to scream in aggravation because his job has been nothing but one train wreck after another, but instead I get to sit with 7 students in a row, put on a smile, and talk about their classes for the Fall. YAy!
On a more positive note, I was soo looking forward to a Spring Equinox celebration this Saturday with a friend back home. We are supposed to go home this weekend to spend some time with our friends and family, only to realize that after he won't be able to work all week, he may have to work this weekend. Now I could go back home without him, but I hate doing that, since the only reason he is up here in the mountains to begin with is to be with me. So I am torn. Do I miss going because of him? I don't know. Hopefully he will be able to go with me so I don't have to make that decision.
Also, when we got back from Asheville, we picked up a smudging stick from a store and cleansed our home. I was hoping that we would be able to get rid of some negative energy in the home, but oddly enough right afterwords we got in an argument! What the heck?!

First Blog Ever!

Hi Everyone! I am new to this whole blogging thing and by chance came across a few that have made me feel not quite so alone. About a year ago my boyfriend and I moved to the mountains of NC for me to attend graduate school. As for the name, yes I am pagan, as well as a vegetarian. I have two dogs, who are my babies! And a Mr. BunBun (bunny) who is getting pretty old :( Although I have always dreamed of living in a cabin in the mountains, I am miserable!! I have never felt more lonely. Although I am kept rather busy with school and work, I still have just enough time to notice how lonely I really am. Hence the blogging. Perhaps I could use a real friend in this new territory, but after a year I have all but given up on that. Perhaps this will be the outlet that I need? Or at least a place to meet some like minded people? I hope so...
