"Ain't no reason in running after something already gone..."

This title of the post describes how I feel completely. This past month, has been one where I think deep down inside I wanted it to work and I was willing to overlook everything that might have some signifiance to me. And then next thing I know, we are calling it quits and just going to be friends. Going to be friends are the hardest things I ever wanted. Because for some reason I still want to try and fix it. I want to make it better. And I know part of it is because when I first met him, I was receiving what God gave me. I was waiting on him and I wasn't thinking about the future. Then I started saying well "what if..." and that got me all off. And I had peace the Sunday after he broke up with, when he called me, and now I am getting back to that point again. I know it won't take long, but I want to be at peace. One of the quotes I am applying to myself right now: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I'll learn and I'll remember. Right now, I have a heart that cared and lived and trusted and saw that there are nice guys out there and that I will be able to get back out there. And I have pictures and bears and everything else to put away, as a lesson for my daughter (if I have one) one day. Many things come out of break ups. They are the best when you don't hate each other. I have so much to do in the next couple of weeks. I have to apply for jobs, take comprehensive exams, and prepare for graduation and moving out. And this week, I have a job interview! I was very amazed! I just click apply for a job and then they emailed me and offered me a job interview if I was NOT under contract with another school system and I'm not. So we will see. It will be a good practice. Even if it pans out it will be good. Well I am off to bed. It is almost 11:00 pm in Georgia and it has been one day...

Fall, Football, and Studying

This past weekend was the first home football game! Alabama played Western Kentucky. We beat them 35-0. And in all the polls, we are still #1! My dad and I went to the game and we went to Red Lobster and Cold Stone. It was a good time and hopefully him and I get to go to another game again. This guy I work with owes me a ticket since my sister donated him an LSU ticket last year, which was the BIGGEST game of the 2011 football season last year. Here are a couple of pictures from the football game.

Now, it is starting to feel like Fall. This weekends weather was wonderful and I look forward to so many more days like that! I have opened my windows 3 days in a row, but I can only open the kitchen because my allergies get really bad. To enjoy the weather, I have been wanting to walk around, but I haven't been able to go walking around as much because I have a spider bite on my leg...found this out on Saturday at the Urgent Care. But I am on an antibiotic and Zyertec to help with the infection and the allergic reaction. And I am approaching my next two Certification Exams...the PRAXIS. These two tests I need to take to get Alabama certification, but also so I can get my Master's degree. So hopefully I pass. I got like a 79% on the first practice test that I did and then I am working on the 2nd practice test and then I have the two practice test on the computer that I can do. The first test is September 13 and then the 2nd one is September 22. Then it will be comprehensive exams and looking for a job and finishing up the semester so I can graduate!
