Parking Pass my A6!

Today has been a long day!! It started with hanging out with Auty and Jeff until about 1:30am when Dave kicked them out of our house cuz' he was ready for some sleep. The problem is I wasn't tired and I was so nervous about getting a parking pass that I couldn't sleep. I got up and showered and sanded some of the cabinet and I still wasn't tired. I woke Dave up to help me. He gave me great advice. He told me not to think about it, and just like that I was asleep, but not for long. I had to be to the school by 5:30 to wait in line for a parking pass. That dang parking pass has caused major heartache for me this week. I was all excited to get a parking pass because this year the seniors got priority on buying passes. Anyone with 90+ credit hours got to be the first to buy passes which would pretty much guarantee me a front row A6 pass. Unfortunately, WSU is retarded and things never go that smoothly. I found out on Wednesday that I was not on "the list" of seniors because I hadn't registered for Fall semester when they printed "the list." I was so raging pissed off. I called the supervisor who claimed there was nothing she could do about it. Then I had Autumn call the lady because Auty is better at confrontation. After Auty had shut down every excuse of why I couldn't be added to the list the lady said, "I'm just not going to do it," and hung up. What a beast!! I was so frustrated but I didn't know who else to talk to so I was stuck. Turns out about 6 other girls in hygiene with me were in the same situation. Only 2 of us ended up with passes. It's pretty ironic that I got one, because I totally shouldn't have. I had waited in my place at the end of the line for 3 hours by myself. Right before they were going to start selling passes to our line I went to try to get a senior wrist band because I figured it would be worth a good fight. They were done giving out senior wrist bands so I joined the revolt of people at the head of the line who were all riled up about having to sleep outside all night when seniors just got to show up at 8:00 and get a pass right away. That's when it happened. They started handing out wrist bands to us and there was no way I was heading back to my place in line just to not get a parking pass. Kristy Barney and I both asked for A6, but they were out, but then 2 girls in line in front of us decided they didn't want A6 so they cut off their wrist bands and gave the very last 2 A6 parking passes to us. What a blessing. I can't believe I got the very last pass. AMAZING!! It was 10am before we left the school and then I took Kristy to her house in Roy to get her keys, then back to the school. I then met Auty at my house and we went to the mall to get CJ a b-day present. We're getting her a long board from Zumiez, but they didn't have any good ones at Newgate so after work we're going to Layton. I bought 2 cute sweaters and a hoodie from American Eagle and a dress shirt from Express. We picked up Chick-Fil-A and Auty dropped me off at work cuz' I was running really late. I love shopping, it is so fun and I needed new school clothes, right?! I'm pretty tired now from only getting 2 hours of sleep. I need more Diet Coke :) Dave is working the early shift today so he should be off by 6, I'll keep my fingers crossed. We might go to the Demolition Derby at the fair tonight, but I'm pretty tired and Dave has 2 lessons to prepare for tomorrow, so that might not happen. We went to the fair last night and I reminisced about when I did a lamb for 4-H and won Grand Champion for showmanship.
I'm dreading going back to school big time, but I can deal with it. I'm so glad I have CA to look forward to a week from today. I'll at least have a nice tan for school. It seems that I've just wasted this summer, but it has been so wonderful, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
My goal for this week is to sand and stain my kitchen cabinets because that was my summer goal and summer is over. I've been warned that it is a ton of work, but I can totally handle it.
