Spring is here!

Good thing there arent any quizzes about updating a blog, because I'd fail. Which is suprising being that I read all about other people's lives. Weirdness. Today is Easter, where on earth did that come from?! I feel like I'm still paying off Christmas bills. Sheese. Went to church this morning, my 3 year old sunday school group might seriously kill me. I've got one trouble maker who likes to tell me that I can't make him do anyhting and that he could "take me" whenever he wants to. Needless to say, he spends most of his time in timeout. I had to work today, that shouldn't be right. Oh well, I sat outside most of hte day and read my book anyways so its was OK. Now I have a weird rash on my leg, go figure. When I get color it's weird color. I can't win. So I'm still stressed about my car and my life plans. All I need is a full time job in Richmond (sooner rather than later) and my liufe would be complete. I could afford to get a new car (becuase my current one is litterally a flaming deathertrap) and I could go to grad school. that;s all I want, a full time jobh with benefits! Not too hard to ask, right? Well, you try finding a job right out of college with very little real life work experience. Not fun. So I'm just constantly worn out and stressed, and I'm tired of it. It just is wearing me out. by my doctor's visit at least told me that my blood work is normal so all my insides are at least working properly. I do think in the last year though I have def learned how to budget money and that I have to work for things, but when I put my head to it, I can do it. I lost 40 pounds in the past year and finalyl was able to run a 5K race. And not walk any of it! Sometimes I just have to remember the things that I have done well and all the blessing in my life, otherwise living on around $1000 a month would totally just put me in rehab. Being poor certainly is a character builder! Ok, until next time! :-)

November is coming!

Well, I dont do this whole blogging thing very well, ovbiously. One day I'll actually like make an officaly profile and all that jazz. Its almost November, when on earth did that happen? What happened to October?! I feel like Oct was such a crazy month, not like anything really happened or anything, just crazy. I applied for another part time job at the library so hopefully I get it, cross your fingers. I'm dirt poor, so all the money I can get would be beneficial. Oct was a very expenseive month, tahts for sure. I had to get health insurance bc I wasnt able to stay on my parents any more. It's $130 a month, I dont have that kind of money! I almost cried when I got the bill with my premium. Crazyness. Then I had a doctors appt that cost me $150, that was not fun. And because of the way my schedules worked out my two paychecks for the month werent fun. This adult life thing is expensive! I'm taking a roadtrip to Atlanta and then Pigeon Forge, Tennessee tomorrow with my friend Kristen. We're on the fritz so hopefully we don't kill each other. Well, I should get back to work!

work=ugh

So thank goodness work is almost done! Today has been a long day, really slow, so I haven't been really productive. I finally started on my project for my supervisor, not sure if it'll get done today. My jeans from AE should be at my house today when I get home, that makes me excited. I got to buy a size smaller, so cross your fingers they fit. Weight is so very depressing. At least the little old lady who lives upstairs from me thinks I'm beautiful. Gotta love it. I spent some time today looking at grad programs for next year. Cooper wants me to stay in Lynchburg and live with her for another year when she buys either a house or townhome. That'd be sweet, but I'd need a full time job which not sure how that will pan out, and I'm kind of looking forward to leaving Lynchburg and working on my masters. What an adult thing, getting my master's degree. Scary! I looked at VCU's program, that's where I'm kind of leaning towards. If I got into USC that'd be sweet, but I dunno. VCU has a couple certiciate programs I could do (they don't have a musem studies one though) I like the one called Homeland Security and Emergency Prepardness, not sure how useful it would be, but sounds cool. I could also do it in nonprofit organizational leadership which would make sense since I want to do more visitor service type thing rather than archives. So I dunno. Cooper and I are studying for the GREs each Tuesday night, I've got to kickl butt on them. Can't do any worse than the first time I took them. At least my writing section was fairly decent. So yeah, all for now!

First in a short line of blogs

Well, thanks to a certain person (aka Emily) who reminded me to post here, becuase I'm pretty sure she's the only one who going to look at this thing. It's kind of like facebook, I don't use it except to stalk people. lol, yeah, i'm cool like that. Well, let's see, I'm at work right now. Quite bored actually. I'm filling in for some people at the gift shop, so all of my projects and stuff are in my office, so I'm not really being productive right now. School starts for the City of lynchburg kids, which means I don't have to worry about the neighborhood kids going to the gift shop and stealing things as often as they like to. That also means substitute teaching starts soon. Not sure how I feel about that, but we'll see how it goes. I'm gonna need some sugar to get me through those early mornings, thats for sure. Well, that's all I've got for now. Hollar
