Okay. Long post of what I've been doing. Got it.
Let's start with work. It's hell hours. I work 4-6 days a week usually and my long hours. They have given me full time status though, which is great. Benefits and higher tuition help. This means I'm like…an official employee now. Which is pretty grown up. I had to take a pay cut, but that was only a dollar. I'm totally okay with that anyway. I've also gainedso much respect at work. Although there was a case a few weeks back of this one woman who, for lack of a better word, bullied the FUCK out of me. Taken care of, but shit that was a bad few weeks.
In addition to work, I have decided to start getting first hand experience of where I'm heading towards: The cardiac floor of the hospital. Recently, I signed up for volunteer work. The woman I interviewed with almost did a back-flip when I asked to work at the heart center. She also brought up the offer of a job. Nothing set in stone yet, but it's a HUGE maybe in the direction of a yes. If the pay is better, I might take it but as a second mini job. Plus that's MORE tuition help. I am so ready for school that I'll do ANYTHING.
On top of trying to balance all that, I got asked out by the bookstore guy. And now have to be a girlfriend. (I like how I say that like it's a chore. GOD MAN I HAVE TO DATE AND STUFF DARN.) Which is nice. But this is the first time I'm having to balance a job and a boyfriend. And no one told me it was hard. Especially on night shift. Since I sleep most the day and am really cranky if I have to cut that short. And, as he has so nicely told me, I'm not to fun when I'm cranky. So, we're starting to get it down to an art.
Also, I have lost weight and started to take extremely good care of myself. My hair has NEVER looked better, my skin is completely clear and I just feel better. I've taken up the new habit of trying to dress well too. Since I felt like I look frumpy most of the time. I've also tried to get in the swing of wearing, ugh, dresses. I've always seen them as too formal. But hell, I'll wear whatever makes me feel good I guess. See, what I've started to do is actually, you know, EAT. But I've got myself on a very small diet. Since my days are flipped, I rarely eat during the daylight. And if I do, it's a small snack. And most of my "meals" are eaten at night. Which consists of maybe a salad or something. Whatever I crave.
I'm also in the process of moving out. Cody and I have found a VERY affordable and livable apartment that is ten minutes from my work and ten from his. It's seriously smack in the middle of our jobs. It couldn't be more perfect. And we have friends in the complex so yay! It's a pretty nice deal and isn't sketchy at all. I can't tell you exactly WHEN I'm moving out, but it'll be by the end of the year. SCORE AND A HALF.
Hmm. What am I missing. My puppy is so big now. I swear I'll be able to ride him by Christmas. I might be going to New York in December. My sister graduates high school this year and Lucas turned 13 last week. Sarah got a part in Jessee's play too. All my friends are happy and I'm still in love with Regular Show.
Whew. That's about it.
