Beginning a Blog

This is new. I've never even thought of doing anything like this before; I just said "Pinstripes and polka dots" out loud once and thought it would be a cool title for something, and my next thought was "A blog. Wait, what?" But I'm going to try it out. I think it might end up as a diary of sorts, full of things that I don't mind sharing with people. I think this will be okay, since it is through Google. Nonetheless, I am going to try to limit the amount of personal info I dish out. But most of you will know who I am just be my username.

I think this will be fun.

So, I am going to try to tell a bit about myself while trying to not give too much away. I am a college student from Minnesota, studying education & _______. In Minnesota. I don't know what the other major will be yet; I am testing out/going to test out American Sign Language, Religion, History, Social Justice, and some other majors. I really like little kids. They are the best.
I am super excited to be doing clinical work with my education classes this semester; I can't wait to see where I get placed to teach!!! It's going to be so much fun!
I don't really know what else to say. I think that most of the people reading this will already know what there is to know about me, so I think that's it.

So, getting to more 'blog' type stuff: Today, the most exciting things that happened to me were going to work and starting this blog, I suppose. Work was exciting because I have a job at the most amazing place ever! It's called Soma. There are five locations in Minnesota, and I work at the best one. I have amazing co-workers and managers and I love the product I sell. Soma sells the same merchandise as Victoria's Secret, but Soma products are by FAR more comfortable and fit all people. No one ever believes me until they see for themselves how awesome and soft the clothes are. And yes, we sell clothes (like pajamas and day-clothes) too! But I'm getting off track. Today has been pretty chill. I am writing a blog, wanting to watch the Oscars, and hating the fact that I have homework to do.
I am also immensely disliking the fact that I have to have what will be a not-so-fun face-to-face with my roommate. It's my first time having a roommate, and I have to say, not exactly enjoying the whole deal. The big problem that I'm having could really be fixed quite easily: Her boyfriend (a lovely, lovely dude) snores. loudly. And really, I can sleep through just about anything. Except that. Don't know why. It's the dumbest thing. And I really like her boyfriend. He's super cool. He brings free food a lot; I actually feel like I am reaping the benefits of them being together since he buys so much stuff (mainly food). But yeah. He snores. And I have talked to her about it (via texting; probably not a good plan), and she basically gives me ideas on what I can do to fix it. Sorry, roommate, I am not the one snoring. 'It's a part of him, and I am not going to change him.' No. Just, no.  I am not asking you to change him, I'm asking you to allow me to sleep. My problem is that I really hate conflict, but I cannot keep this up for another three months. And I am done with her earplug idea (case in point: she wants ME to change, not him), and I really don't want to play the I'm-your-roommate-and-I-PAY-to-LIVE-here-and-he-doesn't card, paired with the 'Neither him nor I are to blame, but something has to be different because nothing is working I am sick and tired of the fact that I am the one affected by it and yet you are making me fix it."
I feel like more would be accomplished if I went to the source (her boyfriend/my friend) and told him that we need to figure something out. Because I am kind of done with my roommate. Just done. And she has no right to get mad at me about talking directly to her boyfriend because she said 'you can tell him if its this bad.' So I might. I think I might call him. Right now.
There. I did it. He said it wasn't a big deal; that he could sleep in his car or another building. I was worried that I was going to offend him, but he said it was fine. But I feel a little bad, because it's not his fault that he snores, and I didn't want to make him feel bad. But my roommate's going to blow up. And it's going to suck. She is going to blame me, and be all mad and stuff.
Oh no. I hope she doesn't read this and figure out who I am and what I've said. About her. Oh dear.

Anyway, that is the jist of things right now; there is nothing really new besides that. I apologize for the huge rant there. It's not really a great way to start of a blog, but I hope everyone who reads it will forgive me. I promise to post more fun/interesting stuff next time!
