Wedding. and chemistry?

So, week eight of blogging: I’m not going to lie; it’s starting to get a little boring writing these things. One thousand words is a lot of words to write about basically nothing. I do have something to write about this time, but I’m not entirely sure if it will take up one thousand words, but I will try. So this weekend, I went to a wedding, and it was the greatest night that I have had in a long time. Brian and I drove up to Akron, Ohio to see our friends get married and it was gorgeous. The drive took about five to six hours, but it went by so fast. On the way we almost ran into a couch that had fallen off or out of someone’s car in the middle of the road! It was so scary, because it blended in with the rest of the scenery and it was so random. I was looking into the horizon, and I was like, “what is that? It s a freaking couch, Brian!” Luckily I was looking because Brian said that he didn’t even see it. How do you miss a couch in the middle of the road; I don’t know. We got there around four and we had to be at the wedding at 5:15. I was freaking out because that is not enough time for me to get ready, but we made it there just on time with no problems. The ceremony was great, they had bad pipes playing instead of the classic piano playing “here comes the bride.” It was scary at first because we didn’t expect that to happen, and it was loud. The wedding was small, and I felt very privileged to be there because Brian and I were the only non-family members that were at the wedding. After the ceremony we all went to the country club and it was amazing. The bride’s parents are very well off, so everything was very well decorated and it was very high class. The food there was great too; salmon, asparagus, potatoes and steak. After dinner, there was the dancing. I love going to weddings and dancing and just having a good time. Everyone there had at least some type of alcohol in them, and it was entertaining to watch them parade around the dance floor. There were these two girls that had obviously drank too much, and they were really fun to watch and dance along with them. I love dancing and having a good time and I loved that part of the wedding. Brian and I never got to go to our senior prom so it kind of felt like it was the prom we never got to have. Well, I had a blast and it really made me happy that I got to go to this wedding in the first place. The ride back wasn’t as fun, but we made it and there were no couches. We did shop a little while we were up there because they had an H&M, which is the best store ever and they don’t have a men’s store anywhere near us here, so Brian was excited about that too. I surprisingly didn’t buy anything, because somehow $600 has disappeared from my bank account. I don’t know what I would have spent it on, but it’s gone. Isn’t it weird how money just disappears and it takes forever to get it back? I also haven’t been getting any hours where I work and it’s really annoying because I really need money. My boss isn’t the smartest person ever and I don’t think he understand how if you hire too many people, they are going to get made that they aren’t getting any hours and if you don’t hire enough people then people are going to get mad because they are getting too many hours. He did go to college for a year on a swimming scholarship but then he injured himself and lost his scholarship and then he dropped out. I just don’t think he makes the best decisions. He doesn’t know how to run a business and no one is telling him how to. I guess he’s trying to learn, but he has the attitude like he’s the best and everyone should bow down to him, which I don’t necessarily agree with. But I did just read his status on Facebook and supposedly some people stole his phone and tossed it in a dumpster. Ha.
So my classes are going semi well. I’m not doing as well as I would like to be doing, but I’m still getting used to this whole college thing. I’m a little worried about my Chemistry class because I’m not really learning anything in class, so I have to basically teach myself everything. I went through high school without doing much work, and I’m paying for it now. I got through high school chemistry with no problem, I got an A; I really think I need to start studying, and/or learn how to study. What we are doing now isn’t too hard, but when the test comes I’m going to forget all of it. I just need to kick it into gear so I can actually pass this class. Another thing is that this class is so long it’s hard to concentrate for an hour and a half on something that I don’t necessarily care about. I know I should care, but chemistry is not interesting. I’m not interested in how atoms are put together and how they stay together; and I don’t really want to know how they react, I just like what happens when they do react. Well at least I know that I never want to become a chemical engineer. I like chemicals, and making them explode, but I don’t like the science behind the curtain.
Well that’s it for today. I hope everyone enjoyed my wedding story and me blabbing on about chemistry.
Until next time,
Melissa
