Amsterdam was amazing. But it had some serious down points that I'll go into detail about later. We just got off the train and went to put our stuff in our rooms. We're about to get a kabob from the nice Turkish man down the street who has never heard of Anne Frank before....

pictures and stories later.

I'm counting down the days til I leave for France. 56 aaaaand counting. 1 week in Paris, 4 weeks in Lille, a 4 day trip to Venice, and a weekend in Amsterdam. Devz and his buddy are flying into Amsterdam to meet me up and hopefully I'll see Deniz there too. I'm sooo fucking stoked.

Oh yeah and apparently there is a huge boat on the canal in Amsterdam that is a cat boat. Just full of rooms of cats. Incredible. And Van Gogh's home is there. And Anne Frank's home. Fuck I wish I was studying in Amsterdam instead.

Email to my district manager

Hi Kyle,

It's Alli at Store 334. I was informed yesterday by Trinna that I wouldn't
be able to take off any time to study abroad this summer in Europe. She
informed me that I would have to put in my two weeks, and then reapply
when I came back. I was really amazed and shocked that my decision to
better my future was not going to be supported due to the technicalities
of my position. When I asked Trinna for any reassurance, she was far from
understanding. I would of assumed that Trinna, after having studied abroad
herself in college while she was a manager, would have had even the
slightest sympathy for my situation or even some guidance on what I should
do. I love my job and I love Charlotte Russe, but my future is going to
have to come first. If the company as a whole and especially my home store
cannot be supportive of my decisions to continue my education and take an
opportunity I'll never get to have again, then I'm sad to have to leave
immediately. This was the last thing I expected from Charlotte Russe and
I'm highly disappointed in the way it was brought to me with such
indifference and resent. Personally, I feel like Amber and I are being
bullied on by older and more experienced managers that aren't able to step
up and admit responsibilities for our store's fault. The changes that are
being made in the CTC store are significant and I'm am proud of them, but
I've never worked in such a chaotic and unprofessional environment as I
did at Charlotte Russe. Thanks for the opportunity with the company, and
I'm sure after I successfully finish my degree there will be many more for
me.

Alli

Looks like I may be studying abroad again. Lille and Paris this time. I'm anxious to meet with the advisors on Friday. I have 2 1/2 weeks to figure out all the kinks. Please let this work out.

I guess our country decided to catch up with the rest of the world. I've never been patriotic but I can honestly say I'm so proud to see Obama win. Who ever would of thought 50 years ago that this much progress could of happened.

EDIT: In addition to this, I can understand completely why some people are upset that the person they voted for didn't win. But I think this is a time for us as a people to change. George Bush left everyone divided for 8 years and this is a chance for us to accept Obama and change the way the people of our nation treats eachother as well as constantly assume the government is going to mess everything up Our country has to make the effort to make things better as well, it can't just happen with a bunch of policies and promises.

I hate to say it because I've been resisting for a long time, but I officially LOVE Hello Kitty. I mean, how could you not! It makes everything pink, and fun, and cute and I'm sorry but I'm only human.

I want theeeese:

MY GOD THEY ARE CUTE!

I'm feeling a little more hopeful. I can't believe how many people are getting laid off. Out of me and Devin, 2 out of 4 of our parents have been laid off. And out of my 2 best friends, all of our boyfriends have been laid off. I feel so optimistic about the election, and I can't wait for things to turn around and get better. Seeing Josh made me happy because sometimes I forget how much people care about me and how much I care about them. House is always clean, Devin stopped smoking so much weed, our financial plan has made things a lot less stressful.

Reporter: Sir, what part did McCain's negativity play in your decision, the negative tone of the campaign?

Powell: It troubled me. We have two wars. We have economic problems. We have health problems. We have education problems. We have infrastructure problems. We have problems around the world with our allies. So those are the problems the American people wanted to hear about, not about Mr. Ayers, not about who's a Muslim or who's not a Muslim. Those kinds of images going out on Al-Jazeera are killing us around the world.

And we have got to say to the world, it doesn't make any difference who you are or what you are, if you're an American, you're an American. And this business, for example, of the congressman from Minnesota who's going around saying, "Let's examine all congressmen to see who is pro-America or not pro-America" -- we have got to stop this kind of nonsense, pull ourselves together and remember that our great strength is in our unity and in our diversity. And so, that really was driving me.

And to focus on people like Mr. Ayers and these trivial issues, for the purpose of suggesting that somehow Mr. Obama would have some kind of terrorist inclinations, I thought that was over the top. It was beyond just good political fighting back and forth. I think it went beyond. And to sort of throw in this little Muslim connection, you know, "He's a Muslim and, my goodness, he's a terrorist" -- it was taking root. And we can't judge our people and we can't hold our elections on that kind of basis.

So, yes, that kind of negativity troubled me, And the constant shifting of the argument. I was troubled a couple of weeks ago when in the middle of the crisis, the [McCain] campaign said, "We're going to go negative," and they announced it, "We're going to go negative and attack [Obama's] character through Bill Ayers." Now I guess the message this week is, "We're going to call him a socialist, Mr. Obama is now a socialist, because he dares to suggest that maybe we ought to look at the tax structure that we have.

So I'm broke as hell and so fucking tired, but I've still been high all weekend despite Devin's brother giving him $300 dollars for weed and we've been dipping in it. The living room looks awesome. My sister is moved out and seems really happy and we even have been saying "I love you" to each other again. The new ginger kitten is so cute and super sweet. I couldn't be happier. Here are some picturezzzzz

Here is the actual color of the wall close us. In the other pictures you can't really tell because of the lighting, but it's exactly what I wanted. Super bright and cheerful. And calming as hell.

I just miss her so much. I didn't think it would be this hard.

2008-09-29T01:39:19Z

I've been feeling like shit lately. I'm not so sure why but I'm pretty sure it has to do with me being nervous about Devin living here and all the awkwardness going on in the house. But I don't know. Today was different. We got a new kitten because Gia is going with Ryann and I don't want Clementine to be sad. His name is Bruce and he is probably one of the cutest kittens I have ever had. I have Saturday off and Devin and I are going to paint the living room green. My computer screen is so messed up I can't use it anymore. I have to do all homework at school because Devin's Mac isn't compatible with any of the software I use for school. Soooo tomorrow I'm going to buy a new laptop that is pink and has a built in web cam HOLLA KARINA. Devin keeps telling me everything is going to get better and I really am starting to believe him now.

Here he is. Sweeeet Brucie <333

Oh yeah, and I got a button tattooed behind my ear.

After talking to my dad and looking at my options, I've decided on moving in with Devin. And I'm ok with it. I wasn't at first, I was really scared about it. But after a lost of crying, and a lot of thinking, and a lot of pissing everyone off I decided it was ok. But Devin and I decided we're going to have our own rooms, which is kind of weird but I think it's a great idea for right now. Considering we are basically being forced into moving in with eachother for financial reasons, I think it's our best bet.

After we got over how insanely depressing this situation is, we are getting kind of excited about it. Today we talked about painting the rooms and buying a nice couch and a little table with the kitchen with all the money we saved up. So hopefully some real good will come out of this.

I keep on telling myself to be patient at work because that evil bitch's two weeks are up before I know it. I keep on telling myself that but damn, it is so hard to get shit talked to your face and have to take it. I walked out of work early last night, and I know I won't get fired for it. I have a macroeconomics and a calculus test today. So I got up at 4:30 to study and the back of my eyes hurt. Someone stole my cell phone out of my bag the other day at the library.

I was walking home yesterday and I saw a rock in the grass and I wanted to throw it at someone's car window. That's what kind of week it has been.

Oh yeah, and I successfully quit smoking this week. On to being healthy.

2008-09-07T11:38:29Z

Yesterday I thought I was getting fired, but I was promoted to assistant manager. $12 an hour? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-02T00:58:38Z

Today, Devin, Sean and I celebrated Labor Day by going to the lake, smoking a blunt in a cemetery at the old mental hospital looking at graves and shit, walked all through NC States campus, went into some old school bowling alley I never knew existed on Hillsborough and got awesome cherry sodas, and then they went off the paint at the free expression tunnel and I went to the library to do research. See ya next year summer.

Oh and P.S. Devin and I are going on my first cruise ever during spring break. Our box of money saving up for it is looking pretty sweet.

244.

2008-08-31T15:55:35Z

I guess I've hit a rough patch. Maybe just because it's the beginning of the semester and I'm getting back into the routine of things. I don't know, I'm just so exhausted. Go to school every day and then working 7 hours after school, coming home tired. Fuck, I stayed in last night and did calculus homework and smoked. I'm so jealous of everyone's freedom to go to the beach this weekend. I'm just going to go to Jordan Lake for a few hours. If I can't call or visit for a while, no one be mad. I just gotta figure this shit out.

243.

2008-08-24T23:16:29Z

Dogsitting was the biggest waste of my weekend. My Saturday off was ruined because Devin's brother complains non-stop. I love Karina and Katie, and I love sending my friends letters because they live state's away from me. I did a lot of shopping with my first big promotion paycheck. How could I possibly be this exhausted from school already when it only started 3 days ago. Oh yeah, and I made my first friend in college and it's been pretty awesome.

242.

2008-08-20T13:12:23Z

fuck. is summer really over? i really don't want to go to macroeconomics right now.
