I finally got a job

Yeah, this last Thursday. So, I've been working for three days, going on four. I'm working at Ducky's Bridal and Formal wear. You'd be surprised how rigorous it is. By the end of the day, I feel like my feet are just going to up and die all on their own. Basically I spend all day greeting customers, helping girls find prom dresses, organizing things, doing tux measurements and son on. And we only get half an hour for lunch. I have to admit that it's taking me a bit to get used to it. That's the nature of a full-time job. I just feel like it's taking up my whole life is working, and then when I get home I'm just languishing on the couch. Not that I have anything else to be doing - I don't have any people to hang out with. I'm just used to, you know, being in school where I'm doing something different every hour, and being fairly in charge of my own time. Well, it's only for a year, so that's good, and then back to school so I can do what I used to do.

My sister and Nathan have finished drywalling and mudding and priming my room downstairs. Yay! Now it's just the painting and the carpet, and minor other things, and I can have a room! And start paying rent! Argh. Well, that's all for now.

A day and an age

Sorry, I know it's been forever. I still don't have a job, although I've applied at a lot of places. Kinda depressing, but oh well. They just don't know what they're missing, righ? Anyway...

I went to a Curves today, and I get a week free, so we'll see if I feel like that does anything for me. It's kind of expensive, but if it works, it would be worth it. I also got information on violin lessons. We'll see - a bit expensive for me right now as I have to pay for a semester at a time. However, I do think I am going to start voice lessons, just for the fun of it. If I don't have the talent for it, then I won't have spent a lot of money because it's by class, but if I do, who knows what could happen?

I sold my old iBook. Someone paid $300 for it. I have to admit I was surprised, but I warned in the auction that there's no telling exactly what's wrong with it so...

My new favorite song is Like We Never Loved At All, by Faith Hill.

Back in Illinois

Yeah, so I'm getting ready to once again search for a job. We'll see how it goes. Um, so we're drywalling downstairs. That's it.

What an Orange Bowl

Yup, five hours folks. No wonder both teams were making errant field goals right and left. It went until 1 AM. It was crazy. Yay, Penn State. Meanwhile I was watching the amazing reports that 12 miners were found alive, only to hear on the radio this morning that only one was. It's heartwrenching. What's sad is that while everyone is looking for someone to blame, it seems like there really isn't anyone to blame. Very sad.

Now, talk about a football game. Go, Texas Longhorns!!!!! We love the Rose Bowl.
