Let's see where can I start? Let's just say today has to be one of the NOT most fun days i have EVER had. Lets start off with waking up this morning. Ok that sucks in and of itself because you have to stop sleeping, anyway, jonathan wakes me up at 7:00 and says "oh, i forgot to tell you late start is tomorrow so class starts at 7:30 today so we have to leave in 15 min..." so i jumped out of bed and started getting ready but was still running late so dad had to take jonathan to school. I left for school around 7:45 to make it to class....
Clarification: I don't have an actual class that early but i signed up for the fitness center as a class so i have to get a certain amount of hours (40) if i want an A in the class. hhmm, lets look back at why i had to take the class in the first place..... Well, i wouldn't have had to take the dumb class if i didn't get juggled around through 4 different english teachers ending up with none of them. So that right there just messed me up... ok so, Im required to have 12 credit hours to recieve my honors scholarship i thought i had figured it out where i would have the right amount but guess how many credits i had before the fitness class?? yes you guessed correctly.... 11.5?!!?? don't ask me how i did that. I was all registured and the lady looks at me and says "You need to find another class that will put you over the 12 credit hours so you can recieve your scholarship"... so ... smart me, decided "hey i will just sign up for the gym and go every once in a while. Not really registering that it was already the 4th week into school, and i would have to catch up to everyone. 40 hours doesn't seem like that much till you have lost 5 weeks to do it... Why 5 weeks you ask? Well i will tell you. I can't get an I-D card without a recipt from the school saying i owe nothing... and thats how you sign in and out of the gym. With your card. Or you can use your SSN which i really didn't want to use, so i was waiting for this recipt... which never came... and still hasn't come. So i went in to the gym this morning and signed in using my SSN... The guy looks up at me and says "This is really your first time coming to this gym?!" to which i responed "Yes?".. (him) "You have to be one of the luckiest kids, they just swept through the system and dropped anyone that had under 5 hours or work out..." I was REALLY happy i was still registered! He walked me through all the different equipment and told me i had to come in for two hours 4 times a week for the next couple weeks so that i would be up to speed with everyone else... I left feeling kind of scared... Thats A LOT of working out.
Anyway, then i get to dance... which is always great! But today was an odd day and i was all out of wack and couldn't dance my best and i twisted my ankle and kind of messed up my back... so it wasn't the best day for dancing... and i have been sick so i was just feeling down.
After dance i have voice lessons with Sue Anne Lucus from 12-1 but there was something going on today so she moved it to friday from 9-10. Which was good becasue then i could go have lunch with Jacob, Lauren, Allison, and Mitch. We went to taco bell.
I got there a little later then them because i had to run through my voice lesson songs with my piano player so i wouldn't forget them...
Then i met them there. Well, i found a parking spot and was pulling into it and was making sure i was clear in front and to the sides when the car next to me doors opened... so i waited for the girl to get out of the car, rather than realizing i was still inching forward toward this ladys car... They made contact and my eyes just widened. I backed up and she got out of her car. I pulled in next to her and got out of my car... i almost started crying, she rubbed off the dirt and it was just scratched, she told me it was ok and i didn't need to worry about it. She had had that happen before and it wasn't that big of a deal. I still felt horrible! i just kept appologizing! She was so nice about it, and i was so glad too! i don't know what i would have done if some crochady old lady started yelling at me! I would have lost it! I went inside and said hi to everyone and just went to the line. I was pulling out my credit card and jacob came over to say hi. i told him what happend and everything and he pulled out a 5 from his wallet and said "Hey i got this one today" he is the greatest. Really though i have the best boyfriend ever!
I got my lunch and ate it quietly. Went back to school for the rest of the classes or i should say class. and then drove to work...
I walk inside and there were magazines every where so i start picking them up and putting them away, when a guy with red hair looks up and says "are you Michelle?" (me) "Sure am"
(him) " hi im (enter name here) can i talk to you for a little?" "sure"... little did i know what sceaming plan he had. I went into the other room and he says "take a seat" all sweet and innocent, and then he says "you know how Merrill is combining his practice with Ansazi right?" and i said "yes i know about it..." then he sticks the knife in "well, with the merging there are some people from here that have to be let go... and you are one of them." (me) "Oh ok, ya i understand." (me on the inside) "You suck, you don't even know how much i love this job! Why would you just come in here and fire people like that, are you serious?!?!" But... Dont worry i kept my cool and smiled and nodded. I didn't even cry. I walked into the office were Gaylene was and she looked like she was going to cry she kept telling me how her and Kimberly were trying SO hard to get them to keep me, trying to find other things for me to do... but it was no use... I gathered my things got my last check and i went into say goodbye to the providers. Dr. Prince was so mad. He kept saying how he didn't want to stay if i was leaving. and how he wished he would have known a week earlier bc he was hiring over at another office he was working at and he would have much rather me come over there. Which didn't help me one bit. Actually no one knew that me and Joanne were being let off so they were all kind of mad and confused. I cried a little bit and gave everyone hugs, and was on my way. I know it sounds kind of stupid that i cried, but i really did love that job. We had all become like a family, with all our stories that we had shared and everything! and it kind of sucks knowing that i don't get to be apart of that anymore! So that was my NOT so fun day... i would have rather it been different.. but thats all i got. Today was just not my day.

Oh Michelley, I am so sorry...I wish you would have called me! First, I am really happy you used the word crotchedy in your post, it made me happy.
2nd of all how awful that you got "laid off". I know how much you LOVED that job, and I'm sorry...but look on the bright side, now you have more time to go to the gym, right? ok sorry, that's not really the bright side. You know, I'm sure Lehi Valley will take you back in a heart beat!! sorry again, I know, not funny! :) If you think about it though, there were about a million things that went RIGHT for you yesterday. You didn't get cut from gym, you didn't run into a crotchedy old lady, you got to go to lunch with your friends, Jacob paid for your lunch, you know you have tons of people that care and love you otherwise they wouldn't have been so ticked you were let go...You know I love you little sis and you're AMAZING and things WILL work out for you, there's always today, and tomorrow, and the next day!! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...you know what I mean! Call me if you need anything. Love ya!

Where is my comment? I wrote the coolest comment out yesterday for you and it isn't here. I don't even remember what I said! I am so sorry that you had such a rough day this week and everyone else has said everything that I want to tell you, except that you need to know that Heavenly Father is watching over you and will bless you so much because of your good choices and the life you live. Where one door closes hundreds more open and I know you will find another great job and you may even like working out a ton in teh fitness center. :) Take a good book and sit on a bike or walk on teh treadmill, that usually helpspass the time, you can also do your homework while sitting on a bike or study for a test while walking. Anyway I remember having to make up hours in the fitness center. Good Luck and get abs of steal baby!! love you
Hey, Michelle, this is Jacob's sister Rebecca. I saw you on someone else's blog. Hope you don't mind I looked at yours. You're such a cute girl. I feel like I don't know you very well, since I'm in Oklahoma. Sorry about that! Give Jacob a hug for me!
