Cedar Point, post number 1

Well, its the beginning of my second week here at Cedar Point. I think it has finally sunk in a little that I live IN an amusement park. The only housing left was Cedars, which is this dumpy building just behind the WildCat and kinda under Milennium Force- at least, thats what it sounds like right now as I can hear it outside the window. There is a seagull with a nest on a roof just across the... umm... Courtyard (a bunch of weeds between our buildings) that likes to stare at me while I sleep. No harm in that I suppose. I live with Ryan, which I've decided is a good thing because, although we have fought a lot this week for a few reasons, we would NEVER see eachother if we didn't live together. Seriously- since we're in different divisions, our schedules don't match well on top of us both having our own friends and responsibilities. Finally last night he just happened to get in just a I was going to go out, so I stayed in and we watched a movie for a little bit. Hes pretty irritable and so am I, just getting used to things and we've been pretty mean to eachother at times. I feel bad for taking things out on him... We just need some quality together time occasionally to talk and maybe cuddle or something and I'm fine... really... I just need to feel like i'm some sort of priority for him like he is to me and that he cares about spending a few minutes with me, or just making a wal-mart run, or going out to a bar... whatever... i don't mean every night, but at least when we're both free on some nights during the week. Afterall, thats what boyfriends usually do, right? Spend more time together than with other people... I'll learn more as things define themselves over the course of the next 88 days.

As far as the job goes, I've gone from loving it to wanting to quit and never look at this hellhole again. They had me working 3 days with fries, and although I love the manager there and Marquinnis and Bill and everyone else I met, I HATE FRENCH FRIES! !! !!!!! With a passion that won't end.... So between that and the stress with Ryan, I was about ready to head home. Then there was last night... First, I worked wagons yesterday- which is what my job is actually supposed to be- so I was in a good mood and got out at a normal time. Then I got to spend the time with Ryan... so im feeling pretty good about things right now...

All in all, I suppose things here won't be so bad. I should be able to get at least part of the week off in June for New Jersey, so that will be fun. Otherwise, I'll be back in good ol Clarion in 88 days- probably with a new appreciation of my own apartment and bathroom and big, comfy, double bed, and my friends there that love me enough to sit and listen to me cry for an hour on the phone because I hate my job and my boyfriend left me... Those are true friends :)

Anyway... see you all soon. If you come to CP, I should be selling smoothies or DippinDots somewhere near Frontiertown... so come see me, and have a wonderful summer

88 days
not even 3 months... i can do this!

Ciao
