I really do like rollercoasters but...

Seriously, my week has been full of tears and laughter. Last Thursday I was told that on December 31st I would no longer have a job after 5 years at the company. I knew it was coming but still, a hard blow. I still haven't processed what this means to me. I don't think I can unless I want to cry for 3 days. I just sucked it up and I'm pushing forward so I can help my boss get ready for having to do 5 people's jobs now.
As I've been trying to figure out what happens on January 1st to me... I talked with my Grandmother about co-signing a loan so I can be a full-time student. She's really open to it. Hopefully this means that I'll just be looking for a part-time job.
Finals end next Thursday and I can't wait to be finished. I love school but finals stress me out!
My sister and her kids are in town and I love her but they've required alot of my time so it's been hard to keep up with everything. Yesterday we went to Aveda for my sis to get her hair fixed by Mike (whom I love!). We were there for 5 hours! It took forever, poor Mike. I got to hang with Hayley and Kirsten for a while and catch up. So, my sister kept telling me that Mike was into me and asking questions about me. Last time we were there, like a week ago, I had Kirsten give him my number but he never called. I was like, ok, maybe he's not that into me. I found out yesterday that he broke up with his girlfriend last week. They had been on and off for a while. When we were leaving yesterday he made it a point to come up to me and talk and give me his number and said, he really wanted to hang out soon but understands that I'm wrapping up school...please give him a call. =) I was on cloud nine. I'm like, He really likes me!!! I can see where we have some differences and probably no future but it'll be fun to hang out and get to know each other.
After that we went to see Australia. I had heard amazing things about it but it was even better than I expected.
I've had 4 hours of sleep and can't concentrate on work right now.
So, I'm off to finals and a Christmas party.
I really miss my friends right now!!!
