WTF, YouToube?

It all started out innocently watching the newest CTFxC vlog.  I noticed one of the top comments asking if anyone has figured out how to delete videos from their subscription boxes.  I thought somebody was being stupid and the reason it was a top comment was because people thought the stupidity was funny.

I click back to my home page and the joke is on me.  Its different.  Not just a little.  It doesn't look like it did right before I started watching the video.  And you can't remove a video from your subscription box.  And there are bunches of videos I have already watched now in my subscription box again.  Sad face.  Those videos I have already watched reappearing in my subscription box?  The only way I remember that I watched them is because I did so in the last day or two.  Otherwise I would have no clue because the little box that says watched next to a video in you subscription box after you have watched the video is gone.

Most of these changes that the internet take on don't bother me.  Facebook changes so often now its hard to keep up.  But YouTube I would have liked some explanations.  The link that is supposed to show you how to use the new YouTube was utterly useless.  Does anybody know how to work the new YouTube?

Thankful...

for my mom.  Even though she moved away and I miss her so much she is still there for me.  She is seriously one of my best friends.

for my dad because he helped me pay my rent for a couple months while I was looking for a job.  And he is currently paying my cell phone and car insurance because I barley make enough money to pay rent and utilities.

for my grandparents because they would let me live with them if I needed to.

for the rest of my family.  I love them even though they sure can be crazy sometimes.

for my roommates because they are like a second family.

for my job.  I love spending time with the kids no matter how crazy they can be.  Hearing 4 year olds you have only known for 3 months tell you they love you melts your heart every time.  And the random hugs they give you.

Boo, Cancer

Cancer sucks.  This has been on my mind for a few days now.  A couple weeks ago one of my classmates announced on Facebook that he has cancer.  We graduated in 2008.  We are only 21.  Its just too young.  My mom was asking me about his prognosis and it got me thinking.

In our high school the last three graduating classes (09, 10 and 11) have all lost somebody.  Our high school is only just over 500 students.  It just shouldn't be like that.

Back to my classmate.  I'm not sure what his prognosis is.  He may have mentioned it and he may not have.  He started chemo yesterday.  From everything he is posting on Facebook he seems in really good spirits.  He has always been such a joker though so its hard to tell if maybe he is just putting on a good face for all of us.  I sure hope he really is in good spirits.

We need to pray for him.  He is just a happy person it sucks to think about what could happen.

Undefeated!

All of "my teams" won this weekend!  Last night was Husker football and volleyball.  They were playing at the same time. :(  But it was ok because of picture in picture.  It seemed like every time I looked at the volleyball game Lauren Cook was serving.  After we lost the second set the girls must have gotten a good talking to because they dominated the third and fourth sets to win the game! the volleyball record is 9-1, 2-0.  Their one loss was to Colorado State.

It was fun to watch the football game.  Since Wyoming is right next door a lot of people from western Nebraska, and probably eastern too, were at the game.  I looked it up on Google Maps the other day and all you had to do to get to Laramie was hop on I-80.    On the new a couple days before the game they said they expected the crowd to be about half Husker fans.  I think they were right!  I saw an awful lot of red in the crowd.  The football team won and are now 4-0!!  Next week we start conference play and travel to Madison.  I am worried.  Wisconsin is ranked higher than we are (they are #7 and we are #8) and its the first game I have been worried about.  We need to start play in the Big 10 with a win.

Today the Packers pulled out a win extending their record to 3-0!! I have to be honest and say even though we had the game on I didn't do a very good job of paying attention.  As much as I hate to cheer for the Lions I am excited for them too.  The only reason I cheer for them is because of my man Suh.  When was the last time the Lions were even undefeated?? I think the commentators said it has been 31 years since the started their season 3-0.  Hopefully next weekend is just as good.

Why???

Why can't I keep up with this blog?

I wish I could figure it out.

I really would like to.

Maybe what needs to be done

is to write about my day everyday

no matter how boring

or uninteresting I think it is.

I have stories

that I think are funny.

Would other people think

they are funny too?

Like a day at work

last week

FIVE kids

had accidents at nap.

Or a couple weeks ago

When a drink

or two

were spilled

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I love my job

I really do.

That's where I think

I will start

just writing about my day

or maybe my week.

Sometimes the story

sounds better that way.

I have a job!!

I know I kind of disappeared for awhile but I am back now.  When I left you I thought I was going to be going on vacation.  First with my dad to New Mexico and then with my mom to Lower Michigan.  I had an interview about a week before I was supposed to leave and they would let me know in one or two weeks.  Since I didn't know what was going to happen I was still planning on going on vacation.

Well I got a call only a few days later that I was hired!!! Yay!  Except I haven't seen my parents in a while so I was kind of disappointed I couldn't go on vacation.  My job is at a daycare which is what I wanted.  I started only a couple days after I got the call.  I think I have been there for three weeks now and I am mostly loving it.  I work afternoons in the 4 year old room.

Last week we had somebody spill their drink at snack 4 out of 5 days.  And twice on Friday!!!  These kids are crazy.  So far we haven't had any spills this week.  Knock on wood.

Since I am only working part time I am probably going to need to get another part time job.  I would love another job where I don't work weekends but I don't know if that is possible.  We will see.

Husker Game Day

Husker Game Day by n3braskagirl featuring bootcut jeans

Football season starts on Saturday.  On my way home from work everyday I drive by a park where a bunch of little guys practice.  They started practicing a couple weeks ago and it has made me really excited for Husker football to be here.

Last week marked the beginning of high school football.  On my way home from work on Friday a woman called in to request a song.  She requested "Boys of Fall" for her son.  It was his birthday and he had a game in South Sioux City.  Plattsmouth played in South Sioux last week.  It was kinda cool to hear someone from my hometown on the radio even if good ole' P-town did get totally demolished.  It was pretty sad.  Apparently the word on the street is that none of the fall sports are going to have very successful seasons.

Back to the point of this post.  Nebraska kicks of their first season in the Big 10 on Saturday and I GET TO GO TO THE GAME!!!!  I am super excited (if you can't tell.)  The only game I had a chance to go to last year I had already agreed to babysit for a couple going to the game and then my bff invited me :(  Since I thought I might have more opportunity to work for them I didn't want to back out.

Anyway, my roommate/bff's grandma has season tickets and usually her uncle uses them.  But his family always goes camping over labor day weekend and they make the reservations a year in advance.  Since they couldn't go her grandma was going to sell the tickets.  But since my roommate and I both have Saturday off we wanted to go.

I have been seeing a lot of these "inspiration boards" from polyvore.com so I decided to make one.  Since the game is in the afternoon I don't know if I will be wearing a sweatshirt but I have one similar from last springs university collection.  And the rose earrings that I almost never take out of my ears aren't glittery.  And I don't have a pair of black flats (but I really want some.)  You can be sure I will be in my red and white.  I'm so PUMPED!!! Yeah!!

I'm hoping to get back into blogging.  I haven't felt very inspired lately but I think I might have some interesting stories to tell.
