The Ramblings of Zombie Girl
I finally sent out my order for Aeropostale yesterday (during class teehee). I’m getting this super cute robe with polar bears on it, which matching socks and underwear. Also getting the teddy bear featured on the webpage since I mostly just ordered a pile of socks and that robe. Oh, and a keychain that it quite cute. Luckily, if anything doesn’t fit right, I can bring it into the store in the mall in Texas and exchange it or get a store credit. Much less hassle than sending it back to the online store that I’ve had considerable problems with.

Last weekend got me thinking about family. I’m kind of sad that I won’t be able to spend Christmas with them. I think that the older you get, the more you appreciate the unconditionalness that comes with family. We stick together. They don’t stop calling just because I got cranky that one time. I can say what I feel around them because they aren’t going to judge me and stop caring about me. And of course, I value their company a lot more now that I’m old enough to appreciate it. Dad has definitely taken a turn for the worse since I was last there. I guess that’s another reason to appreciate family.

I finished my essay at 1:30 am last night. I’m not sure that it’s any good, but I definitely did what the assignment asked for, so here is hoping. I have another essay that is due by midnight on Thursday, but I’m not starting it today. I’m just chilling out between classes, writing this and looking up some music on the web. I think that tonight I’ll just maybe pop in a movie and have spaghetti, then head off to class at 7. My last night class for the semester! This is my last crazy Tuesday, hopefully forever. I went to talk to the secretary of the History Department and let her know my dilemma. I have a really good chance of getting in the American Century class which is great… but I don’t want to keep my night class if I’m stuck in the 8:30. This is what I’m trying to avoid. I don’t mind having the 8:30, but one of them has to go. I can’t have anymore Tuesdays like this, and I despise night classes anyways because they are only once a week and three hours long.
—————————-
Anyways, I guess it’s time to zone out for awhile, and wait another 20 minutes before heading to my next class. Wee.

Fun times in school are had by all around this time I guess.
In response to your comment left on my blog, sure, I’ll help you out. But as I’ve said before, let me know what you need help with. I’m not a mind reader, so you’re gonna have to tell me what it is about the wedding that’s stressing you out. Also, keep in mind, that I’m here in Halifax, so I have about as much access to certain things as you do. And, just to add, I don’t actually KNOW if I like planning weddings, it just MIGHT be a possible career path. Please don’t take all of my ramblings seriously. I’m generally just a confused girl, not knowing what to do with herself at this point in time. Which sucks… hard.

Well, I’ve pretty much done everything by now. I’ve been asking for help forever, I’ve been very explicit in what I wanted. I wanted reception/rehearsal dinner location ideas (you know what places there are in Yarmouth), photographer names (you did give me one), and help with flowers. The flowers is all that’s left. I’ve picked the invitations and the wording myself, the locations for the dinners, found the church and minister, picked out the dresses, planned my hair and and all other minute details. Planning a wedding is one of those things that sounds great in theory, but in reality is not fun at all. You have to deal with whiney people, whiney family, people that don’t cooperate, a lot of stress, things that don’t work the way they are supposed to, things that you want that are too expensive to do, having to limit your expectations, and go through life on top of it all.
I envisioned planning a wedding to be a lot of fun. So far, it’s been stressful and lonely, to be completely honest. I know you are all out living your lives and being young and having fun, but when I asked all three of you, i imagined that you could handle the added duties. Instead, my mom has been coming along with me to do everything, my mom has been making the phone calls that I don’t have the time to make, and my mom has been supportive and listened to me cry. THAT is what a bridal party member should do.

I know you’ve said that you’ve been asking for help forever, but I think your cry for help isn’t as loud as it needs to be. You think you were being clear in asking what you want, but frankly, you weren’t. I know you asked for a photographer, and I was happy to suggest one for you. The thing is, a wedding is something that’s supposed to be mainly planned by the bride and groom, unless you get a wedding planner to do it all for you. That’s not the position you gave me. I’m the maid of honor, and my duties include planning your bachelorette party, giving advice on things YOU’VE decided on, and being there for moral support. I know it’s hard when I’m here and you’re there, but if you’re having a hard time, you need to be clearer about it. I think our problem has been one of mass miscommunication. You think you’re doing one thing, but I don’t see it the same way. I’m glad your mom is there to help with your wedding; a mother should be. And I’m sorry that I’m not there when you’re having a hard day, but if you don’t make it clear, then how am I to know? I’ve been telling you forever to give me a call when you’re feeling stressed or upset, but I haven’t received one yet, so I assume everything is going fine (with the wedding part anyways). Speak louder if you want to be heard. If you think I don’t want to hear it, you’re mistaken. I do want to help, I just want to know exactly what to help on. I’m not here to make your life more miserable, I’m here to take the load off a bit, but you can’t expect me to be your wedding planner. This is your wedding, and you should be the one the most involved, no matter how stressful and busy it is. That’s what a wedding is; the only good day throughout the whole planning process is the wedding day. And I’m sure yours is going to be spectacular, even with all the added stress.
