oh no!

I forgot my blog's birthday!!! And even though I really do know the blog hasn't noticed, I still feel bad. Sigh. Just further proof of my neglect of this blog this year.

I'm sorry blog. Happy belated birthday. Hopefully you will get better with age.

hi-ho hi-ho its off to work I go?

So for some reason this week, I've been in a job-applying frenzy. Since I've been home from school I've applied for at least 6 jobs (although I couldn't tell you what they all were, a couple of them I just clicked 'submit resume' if I had some vague interest) and...
I have an interview on friday! It's not in anyway a life-changing career move BUT getting this job means that I can pay off credit-cards faster (paycheck= money= going directly to CC companies) which means I can breathe easier. So, in a weird way, job= less stress? I guess so. Someone please remind me of that when I'm freaking out later this semester because I've too much schoolwork to do and not enough free time to do it in, ok? Cause I'm sure that's going to happen. But tons of other students get jobs, and if they can handle it so can I. Hopefully.
Anyways, its just an interview on Friday. And who knows, maybe someone else will call and by Friday I'll have more interviews. It was just shocking (in a good way) because they called me on a Sunday, the day after I filled out their online application. Just think, if I hadn't procrastinated it last week I could have had a job by now...

Why do I want a job again? I'm already thinking about how much I love my spare time and how I won't have any. Do you realize how many movies I get to watch in a week and how long I get to play online because I've nothing better to do? Eep! But really, any job I get will be a maximum of 25 hours... seeing as how I come home Thursday afternoon and go back Mon night or Tues morning, it should be pretty easy to squeeze in 25 hours of work.

And, if I'm at work I'll be moving. And not eating. Which means I lose weight. Let's see: money + weight loss - free time=...?

Yea well, if I don't like it I can always quit, I have enough money in bank at the moment to keep away the creditcard wolves for a few months.

But in the meantime... I have an interview to stress out about! :)

baby!!!

A friend's baby boy, 3months old:

Over a month later...

I'd like to introduce everyone to Manny the Vanny. Also known as Manny Redbeat Vanny.

This is his handsome side, the other side has the sliding door with a slight scratch on it (it was that way when I got him, honest!).

new haircut

So for some reason, whenever I take a 'new haircut' picture, I don't really take a picture of the actual hair itself so much. And I tend not to smile, even though I like the new style. But too bad, they're my pictures. Hah.
:-p

because I feel like sharing

So on Tuesday when I decided to come back to school, I realized that I really didn't have too many pairs of decent underwear left. Most of them are far too old that I really should just throw them out (they're not gross, theyre just a bit worn out) and others were so worn out that I really did just throw them out (3 in the past week). And so at home I have no undies, whereas at school I have quite a few but only a couple that are actually decent.
Anyways, so I bought new undies. Last minute trip to the store resulting in me buying 6 pairs (sheesh those things are expensive). Well, my size is hard to get because they're so gigantic and so its not like I had much of a selection... so I bought these:

Holy moly are they bright! I feel like I should wear sunglasses when I wear them.

And then, because I'm trying to be optimistic and hopefully these cheerful things will inspire me to lose weight so I can wear them (cause I'm weird and think they're pretty... and I almost can wear them, theyre just a bit too snug) I also bought these, which are the next size down from what I currently wear:

Not exactly my normal style but hey I like them so shush.

Ok, enough of my undies. Just be thankful I didnt post about my bras.

life philosophy

I dont know why I let myself get excited about something; I should know better than to actually look forward to anything. I thought I had conditioned myself to know better, and to know that what my expectations are and what usually happens are far far apart and its best to not look forward to it at all since it won't be as good as my head makes it out to be anyway.

I'm not in a good mood. I don't know if I'm hurt or disappointed or some mixture of both. I already logged out of everything cause I just couldnt deal, I had to just curl up on my bed and force myself to zone out so I could like calm down. I don't know, its hard to explain. At least by writing about it it makes me cry, which should (theoretically) make me feel better. Sometime.

school- week 2

Ok, so I didn't start week 2 yet so really I can't post about it. What can I post about then? How about week 1?

Week 1 was filled with lots of activity, starting on Sunday (26th) with moving into my dorm. It wasn't so bad, it was just my mom and I and we managed. The hardest part was the parking. It's so unorganized at my school on moving-in day, it always is. And when we mentioned the chaos and lack of parking to my RA all she said was "you should have seen it on freshman move-in day." Yea, cause that's helpful.

We changed parking spots twice, we kept the furthest away spot for just moving my stuff in and then when it came time to move my mini-fridge (which my dad had tied to a handtruck) we tried to get it out of the van... but that wasn't going to happen easily. And so we tried shoving it forwards more, but it was as forward as it was going to go. See, when we put it in the van I tried saying that it wasn't going to fit standing up properly and may have to be put onto its side. That was met with an abrupt 'No, it'll fit.' Well guess what, you can push a fridge into the van by brute force but its a bit difficult to get it out after! Finally my roomie got it out by crawling into the van and tipping onto its side a bit as we pulled on the handtruck's handle. But sheesh what a hassle.

Ok, so once I'm all moved in it was time to unpack right? Yea, right. I was all moved in by about 1pm, fast forward to 9pm and I still have most of my clothes and a couple of desk items on my bed. Oh, and not to mention my bed isn't even made yet. Oops. I hate unpacking.

Ok enough boring move-in day crap. My roomies are nice, some are nuttier than others but I guess you can expect that when you move in with 5 other girls. Yea, five. What was I thinking?!

But it's not so bad. I'm hardly there anyway, I'm planning to get a job at home so that means I'll be at school possibly Monday night or Tuesday morning until Thursday afternoon and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and most of Monday are spent at home/working. Today I told my roomie Caitlin that it's more like I'm a friend that spends 3 nights in her room and stores all my crap there. Hah. Senior year and I'm not even spending it at school. Yea well, there's always next semester... who knows what my schedule will be then.
